o!) THE IRISH AiDJS BILL. THE present attempt of the Government to restrain the people of Ireland by means of a Bill restricting the use of fire- arms, is nothing more than a continuation of thbt hateful policy in which the Tory party has always persisted, and which both past and present experience demonstrates to be totally ineffec- tual for the purpose designed. What is it that the Executive flow demands, but the unrestricted power of placing every Irishman under the domination of the Magistracy ? Of what sort of men, too, are these Magistrates composed ? They are tnen, almost without an exception, selected from the ranks of the fierce Orange party. Their deep political and religious prejudices, totally disqualify them for anything like a dispas- sionate exercise of even moderate and thoroughly constitutional powers, and the influence which they possess, is openly and avowedly employed in favour of opinions deeply obnoxious to the large majority of the native population. Can it be wondered, then, that an attempt to augment the authority of these men, should be viewed with distrust, dislike, and indignation, by those who are but too sensible of the animus in which it is likely to be exercised. The Bill is a most unjust aud unwise ftieasure. It is, we say, unjust, because it enlarges the power of one body of men, notoriously unfit to wield them btmeficially, and inflicts a deep stigma and disgrace upon others and it is unwise, because it can be, and has been clearly demonstrated, that the measure will not prorcct life and property, but just the reverse, by placing the peaceable and unprotected at the mercy of the turbulent and armed. The Bill is defended, because The exigencies of the country demand coercion. This is, and always has been, the tyrant plea. Who has shown that coercion is needed? Has Lord De Grey shown that Ireland cannot be governed by any other agencies than those at praent recom. mended f Has lie shown, in his own administration, the failure of mild and conciliatory policy-a policy in unison with the feelings and sympathies of the Irish people—favourable to the interests of that mis-governed nation—not dictated by narrow and confined prejudices, but guided by enlarged and noble views—developing the native resources of the country, and affording security for the investment of capital in domestic, undertakings? Further, has he exhibited an inclination to ad- minister justice, without regard to political or religious dis- tinctions, by appointing, to judicial stations, men eminent for abstinence from party bias, as well as for fit professional qualifications ? Has all this been done, and still has the country shown signs of no amelioration, siill exhibited a sullen insolence to its benefactors, still persisted in lawless rapine, and dastardly revenge ? Have Irish feelings been proved to he so savage and demoniac, that no kindness could conciliate them? If all this be the caSè, then, indeed, might there 01' some ground for resorting to some change but when the case is notoriously the reverse, and when the whole course of events shew that 110 such prin- ciples of Government have been exemplified ill Ireland, but that all that has been done, since Sir Robert Peel came into office, two years ago, has been done to the detriment, and not to the advantage, of Ireland, is it not scandalous for mell, conscious of their great demerits, to come to Parliament and offer to atone for them, by coercing the victims of their wickedness, by means of a despotic A nus Bill?" Ireland, under the paternal rule of Lords Normanby and Fortescue, was tranquil. She was at peace. because lhose at the helm of affairs had the wisdom to govern in a manner be- neficial to the whole nation. The annals of crime were rapidly diminishing-industry had received an impetus—and capital was beginning to find an advantageous sphere of employment. The ecolloiuical resources of tbe people were becomillg enlarged, alld the lower orders IVere beginning to understand and appre- ciate those comforts after which the Scotch and English peasant almost invariahly aspires. This was owing to a great extent to the judicious policy pursued by those two enlightened states* men. In two short years how has the aspect of things in Ireland changed! Outrage is now become most fearfully fre- quent—discontent stalks throughout the length and breadth of the land—animosity to Government is openly aud unreservedly avolVed-a breach of the legislative union is proclaimed as the only remedy for the present distress—confiscation of property under a milder term forms a prominent article in the popular creed—all threatens confusion and civil discord. But what is to be done? Is there 110 help-no balm-nothing to assuage all these wretched woes? Yes, there is. But that help is no Arms Bill-it is a bill for tùe suppression of discontent, by the use of the arms of reason, and mercy, and truth, and one for removing that obnoxious brand which now degrades and irri- tates the millions ot Roman Catholic Irish. CHARGES AGAINST nUR TOWN CLERK —The follow- ing circular has been forwarded to our Town Clerk, and a copy to each member of the Town Council. The charges are to be brought forward this day, in pursuance of notice given at the last meeting: — ° Swansea, 24th May, IS43.

WILLIAM HENRY SMITH. Thomas Thomas, Esq., Town Clerk. SWANSEA HotlSF. OF CORRECTION.— On Monday last, the Rev. Win. Hewson, D. D., Rev. S. Davies, L. W. Dilbvyn, W. I. Jones, and Thomas Edw. Thomas, Esqrs., the Visiting Magistrates, met, in pursuance of advertisement, to receive estimates for the proposed extensive alterations in the House of Correction. There were four tenders sent in—one from Messrs. Wilcox and Son, of Bristol, amounting to It:i901., Mr. Richards, of Swansea, 19251., Mr. Rayner, of Swansea, 19951., and Mr.Reed, of Bristol, the contractor for the New Church, 20771. That of Messrs. Wilcox was accepted. It will be perceived that the estimate of our townsman, Mr. Richards, was only 35l. (little more than one-and-a-half per cent.) above the accepted tender.—It is hoped the contrac- tors will employ Swansea workmen, or the difference 111 the expenditure of the pO¡)r-rate will exceed 35i. SWANSEA MECHANICS' INSTITUTION.—Tt is with pleasure we learn, that this useful Institute, containing an elaborate selection of books on history, biography, chemistry, geology, manufactures, &c., bids fair towards having the sphere of its influence considerably extended, especially amongst the working chtsses means having been adopted to render the library accessible to them at the low rate of a couple of pence per week. It is hoped that snch a laudable effort for their moral and intellectual culture will not only be duly appreciated by the operatives of this town, but that they will readilv co-operate with the Committee in eo. deavouring to place the Institution on such a footing as may be commensurate with the exigencies of the place. PROCESSION OF SUSDAY SCHOOLS. —On Whit Mon- day, according to the usual custom, the teachers and children of the six Sunday Schools connected with the Burrows, Castle-ttreet, the English Wesleyan, Mount-pleasant, York- place, and the Primitive Methodist Chapels, in this town, together with those of several Welsh Schools, assembled in the Burrows-squaie, and walked in procession through the principal streets; after which, the Welsh Schools went to Bethesda Chapel, and the English Schools to the English Wesleyan and Mount-pleasant Chapels, each of which places was completely filled. At the Wesleyan Chapel, three able addresses were delivered, to the children by the Rev. T. Bliss, B.A., to Ihe teachers by the Rev. Mr. Hige;s, and to the parents by the Rev W m. Jones. At Mount-pleasant Chapel, the Rev. Thomas Dodd addressed thecbitdren, the Rev. Mr. Bishop the teachers, and the Rev. Mr. Simmonds the parents. All the addresses were listened to with the greatest attention. The schools then returned to their respective chapels, where the children were provided with refreshments. The whole had a very imposing effect. The number of teachers and children assembled amounted to between 2,700 and 2.800. FIRST IN THE FIELD, FIRST WIN.—Candidates for civic honours at the next election of Town Councillors, which is to take place oti the first of next November, just five months hence, have been, during the last few weeks, actively engagetl in canvassing the independent electors of the Lower Ward of the Borough of Swansea. IVORITF.S —On Tuesday last, this body marchod in full dtess through the principal streets in this town, preceded by a brass band, which played a variety of lively aits. Having attended a place of worship about half a mile from town, they spent the remainder of the day in conviviality. HUSTlC SPORTS.—On Whit-Monday several parties from this town went to Crnmlyn Burrows to amuse them- srlves with pigeon shooting, foot racing, pole climbing, and other-ports; but the day was better calculated for the pro- cession of Sunday School childien, for soon after that pro. cession had closed, a thunder storm came on, and it rained so heavily and incessaotly, that, by the time the Crnmlyn Barrows" gentlemen had reached town, they appeared more like persons having amused themselves with aqua-lie than »"us-tic sports. PROVIDENTIAL ESCAPE. — On Friday last, the sides of a coal-pit, in the parish of Lansanilet, suddenly fell in, shutting lip about a dozen men who were at work in it. After some difficulty they succeeded in extricating them- selves flom their perilous situation by means of a a passage leading to another pit,throngh which they made their exit. ACCIDENT IN A COAL PIT.-On Thursday, an in- quest was held before Charles Collius, Esq., Coroner, on the body of a child about six years of ape, son of David Watkin, ot Lan-amlet. The child was killed by a large stone from the roof of the pit falling upon him.—Verdict accordingly. CORONER'S INQUEST.—An inquest was held on Thursday last, before C. Collins, Esq., coroner, on the body of Mary Jones, aged 22, a resident of Jockey-street, in this town, who died very suddenly on the preceding day.—Ver- did, "Died by the visitation of God." SKRIOUS ACCIDENTS.—Last week, two men. named Window and Noble, fell from a window of St. Mary's Chapel, Llandaff, which they were engaged in repairing, Both were severely injured, though hopes are entertained of their recovery. The accident took place in consequence of the scaffolding giving way.—As John Griffiths, a dray- man in the employ of Mr. Evans, High-street Brewery, Neath, was returning home yesterday with a cart of empty casks from Cwm Avon, in descending the hill near Cymle, one of the casks rolled upon him, while sitting on the shaft. The horses took flight, and started off at full speed, and the unfortunate man fell under the dray, the two wheels passing over both knees. Though the poor fellow has been severely 'njured, he is likely to recover. The Bristol steamer encountered very stormy weather in her passage from Bristol yesterday, which place she left at half-past two o'clock in the morning. Several ot her paddle-box boards were carried away, but the damage sustained was not of a nature to prevent her from returning this morning. L<VMPKTiiR.—" 'BF.CCA AGAIN," —On the night of Sa,dav se'nnight, this peaceable little town was made the scene of this noted Lady's antipathy to toll-bars, &c. The turnpike-gate, called the Pound Bar, was drawn from its lunges, and thrown over the bridge into the Tivy. Contrary to the usual practice, the work of destruction was conducted with but very little noise—a proof of the fewness of the party engaged. Various conjectures are afloat as to the author ot this nocturnal outrage, but since this wonderful L; dy has distinguished herself so much of late, this ad- ditional deed will add "another feather in her cap," The toll-collectors begin to fear more visits than will be agree- able; but all we have to hope is, that this will end the pro. ceedings in this neighbourhood, and 'Becca" will be con- vinced of the inutility of combating the strong arm of the aw.—A Coirespondent. The tradesmen ofMerthyr have, at the request of (hMf assistants and apprentices, consented to close their shops three evenings of the week viz., on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, at nine o'clock during the summer mouths and at eight o'clock in winter. CANADIAN CORN BILL. —Lord Adare presented three petitions to the House of Commons against the above mea. sure, from the eastern end of this county, on Friday last. They were signed by npwatds of 300 owners and occupiers of tand and we understand that another petition to the same effect has been very numerously signed in the neigh- bourhood of Bddgend, in this county. BRIDGEND.—On Saturday last, a little lad, three years old, had a narrow escape from drowning. He was playing by the side of the river, below Ihe old biidge, when he tnmbted in. There was a fresh in the river, and he would, in all probability, have been carried away, was he not observed in time to save his life. This part of the river is exceedingly dangerous, the wall being neariyon a level with the road-wav. From the bad state ot the wall on the side of the river, it is stranne that accidents of this kind are not of more frequent occurrence. IJHIDGEVD NEW TOWMMLL. — At an adjourned meet- ing In Id at the Wvndham Arms, on the 7ti> inst., present M. P. Traheme, M. P. Smith, Esqrs.. Rev. Robert Kn'ght, Mr. Walter Hihhert. Mr. W'illiaiii Edwards, and others,— Mr. Traherne submitted to the meeting, a plan of a Town. hall, drawn up hy Mr. Wyatt. The plan was on rather a smaller scale than Mr. Vauehan's, and was much admired for the elaborate finish of the interior. The flolli differed materially from Mr. Vatican's plan. Af'er some discussion relative to Ihe merits ot 'he two plans, it was suggested by the majority, that Mr. Vansrban s plan was the best adapted for the purpose. The meeting was then adjourned to the 14th inst. THE DfHRY SWEEP DINNER, AT THE WIMTE LION, CARDIFF—Tuesday fast being the general settling-day at Tattersall's, the members of the Cardiff Club wound up their important affairs over a most excellent repast, replete with every delicacy the most fastidious appetite could desire, with wines of the richest quality. The entertainments of the evening were most ably and satisfactorily arranged, and conducted under the government of a hinhlv-talented Chair. man, and a no less efficient Yicp. The following toasts were given, as they stand in order on the occasion:—" The Queen.—(Applause, and nine times nine, and one cheer more).—"The Piince Albert and the infant Princesses."— (Cheers).—" The Prince of Wales-God bless hUll-lone: may he live."—(Tremendous cheering, nine times nine, and one cheer more).— The Queen Dowager and the rest of the Royal Family."—(Cheers).—The worthy Chairman, after a very appropriate remark relative to the present meeting, proposed "The Turf, and may it be conducted with honour and honesty —with this toast, also, lie begged to couple the names of the Treasurer and Secretary of the Club, whose duties, thoush arduous, had been most satisfdc- torily discharged.—(Cheers).—"The winner of the Derby, and health to the fortunate possessor of Colherstone."— (Cheers).—[We are sorry to add, that the drawer of rhe favorite has not been so great a winner as we could cordially have wished him to be, in consequence of some mismanage- ment on the part of his advisers, who persuaded him to dis- pose of his <,hance, or ill some way 01' olllPr edje off, 1'1.0111 the nature of the facts elucidated by the holder of Cottier- stone],—" The Winner of the Second Stake."—(Cheers).— This foitunate winner also returned thanks, ard hoped lie should have a similar pleasure of returning thanks upon the issue of the Saint Leger.—(A laugh, and many dissentient voices).—" The Members of the Club."—(Cheers).—The drawer of Catherstone here rose, and in a very comnlimentary manner, proposed The health of the Cha:rman."—(Loud applause, again and again).—Order beinir resored, the worthy President ro^e and said, that he felt highly compli- mented for the warm and enthusiastic reception with which the toast had been received—"notwithstanding I feel (said he) out of my element.—(Cries of No, no.")—Gentlemen are kind enough to compliment me (continued he), but still I find mvself like the bashful man in Cowper. 1\1y feelings are good, hut my lips appear to refuse me utterance in the way I could wish. However, gentlemen, yon must take the will for the deed. I can only assure yon, that if my services on this, or any other similar occasion, can afford yon any satisfaction, it will make me happy in your confidence. (Hear hear).—I am sorry to add, that I fepl the weight of my present duties somewhat embarrassing from indisposi- tion—-(a general exclamation of Sorry for it;")—but I will not flinch.—(Hear, hear, and applause)..— Meetings like the present (said he) give me much pleasure—they are the means of bringing neighbours and friends together, and to my uttermost I will support them."—(Hear, heir, and cheers).—The worthy Chairman then wished health and long life to all present, and sat down amid much clieering. —"The health of the Vice-President" next followed, with a well-timed and complimentary introduction, and was re- ceived with deafening acclamations, accompanied by musical honours, and reiterated cheers.—This gentleman acknow- ledged the compliment in terms of considerable feeling, and assured gentlemen present, that nothing could <;i»e him greater pleasure than to unite in the wishes of his fiiends (hear, hear)—more especially so on the present interesting occasion. He did not feel himself exactly at home in the situation in which he was placed, but trusted, that if any inefficiency should occur in the anxious discharge of his duty, his friends would impute it to the head rather than the heart—(Hear, hear, and cheers).— The next toast that fol. lowed was very facetiously introduced, and appropriately descanted upon, namely, The Host and Hostess, with many tbnnks for the very superior manner in which the dinner had been got np."—This toast elicited many remarks on the skill and taste of the caterers, and was accompanied by long and continued cheering. The worthy Host returned (hanks in a warm and energetic address, during the delivery of which he was much cheered.— Harmony constantly pre- vailed, and at intervals joke and anecdote filled up the space, while laughter played on every cheek, and all was merriment and joy. Many most excellent songs were given, accompanied by appropriate toasts and sentiments, till smiling morn appeared, and then echo answered— Fly not yet, tis not the hour To curb young Pleasure's social pow r, For when did morning ever break, And find such merry souls awake, As those that kindle here." S.

SWANSEA POLICE. MONDAY.—Before the Mayor.—The following per- sons were charged with drunkenness and disorderly conduct; Richard Jcnkins, David Lewis, Chas. Brooks, and John Davies, all of Swansea, labourers. They were discharged, after having been reprimanded by the Mayor, who informed them that they would be fined if again brought up under similar cir. cumstances. Daniel Owen, drawing-master, of Swansea, was fined 5s., having been found in a state of intoxication. Lewis Thomas, alias World, was committed to the House of Correction, as a rogue and vagabond, for one calendar month with hard labour, having been found in a yard, be. longing to Mr. Rutter. with the intention of committing felony. Elizabeth Evans, a common prostitute, was committed to the House of Correction for one calendar month, with hard labour, for using indecent language in the public streets.

WEDNESDAY.—Before the Mayor.—Sergeant Bennett brought up four men, namerl Smith, Williams, Porter, and Robert Roberts, for keeping gambling-tables atGreenhill fair, inducing boys, and others, to put down their half-pence, by persuading them that then was the time to get money." Each of the men pleaded want and necessity as excuses for having committed the offence. Roberts, being an old offender, was sentenced to one month's imprisonment, and the other thiee to fourteen days each in the House of Correction. Amelia Williams was charged with having used very violent threats towards ————. Rees, mason. It appeared the parlies had lived together, and the threats arose out of some alleged ill-treatment of the prisoner by complainant.—The Mayor (old Amelia she must find sureties to keep the peace, or be committed for a month. The prisoner said she could find no sureties, as she was "rather quick tempered." The order for her committal was therefore made out.—In leaving the room Amelia, who, during the whole proceedings, had assumed an attitude of defiance, attacked Rees and the old woman, his landlady, with energy, displaying considerable pugilistic skill in heating time about poor Rees's head and ears. The officer restrained her after some difficulty. Anne Charles was charged with having stolen a pair of shoes.—The prosecutor did not appear. By the Inspector of police's account, the parties had made a conveyance" of some money, amounting to 1/. 5s., from some man's person— with part of which they bought the slippers, and afterwards quarrelled about the "moiety of the conveyance" each party was entitled to,- The case was ordered to stand over. William Rosser was charged with having disobeyed the orders of the market inspector, by refusing to place his cart of mackerel in the part of the Market-place appropriated for the purpose. Rosser strongly denied having disobeyed orders. Being the first offence, he was discharged on payment of costs. David Bowen, who had his head tied up, and appeared dreadfully injured, applied for a warrant against David Phillip, of the parish of Hangavetach, copper-man, and Ruth Ihomas, of Swansea, for having beaten him with a poker. Granted. Martha Canning applied for a warrant." to swear the peace" against Robert Sparks (who had been fined 1L, at the Petty Sessions, on the preceding day, for assaulting her), for having repeatedly since threatened violence.

COWBRIDGK POLICE.— Before the Mavor, Hugh Entwiste, and Robert Savours, Esqrs.—On the information of police-officer, Lewis, 13, John Phelps, of Lanblethian, tor being drunk and disorderly, was fined 5s. and 8s. 6d. costs.—David Williams, of the same place, mason, for a like offence, was fined in the same sum and costs.—Benjamin Williams, for assaulting P. 0, Lewis. 13, was fined 101" and in default of payment was committed to the House of Cor- rection for six weeks with hard labour.— David John, of Langinau, for being drunk and disorderly, was fined 18. and 10s. 6d. costs.—John Thomas, of Lanblethian, beer- house-keeper, for keeping his honseopen at a late hour, was, after a severe reprimand, set at liberty, upon payment of costs amounting to 16». AURMRVG FIRE AT THE VALE OF NEATH BREWEKY. It is our painful duty to record the occurrence of another fire, and one far more calamitous than »ny of its late pre- decesMors in this town or neighbourhood.—At one o'clock on Wednesday morning, the extensive and valuable premises of the Vale of Nealh Brewery Company appfared to be in per- fect security —in iesstban an hour, the entire mass of bnilliing-s was threatened with complete destruction. A little before two o'clock, the wife of a man named Madge, who sleeps in one of the adjoining wings, was alarmed by a loud crackling noise, and, on looking from the window, beheld the central tower surmounted hy a lofty apex of leaping flames. The alarm was instantly given, and in a few minutes Messrs James Buck land and Dubell,with most praiseworthy zeal and presence of mind, had commenced working the hose kept on the premises, through which a powerful jet of water was poured upon the flames Four of the managing directors were aiso promptly in attendance, and ably directed the labours of the workmen. In a short time, the Neath and Neath Abbey engines arrived, and began to play upon the fire, but we regret to add, that the hose of the former was not in the most efficient order. At this moment, the scene was truly grand, and the slightest breeze must have involved the entire range of buildings in one com- mon fate. As it was, not a breath was stirring, while a con stant rain aided the efforts of those who were assisting to extinguish the fire. One immense pyramid of vivid flames rose almost straight into the air, and blazed like a beacon-fire of the olden time. The greatest danger was aoprebended from the fall of the front wai) for, had that given inwards, the massy turrets un the top would have carried the Imming ma- terials into the very cellars, and have rendered it a matter of impossibility to save any thing.—Shortly after four o'clock, a messenger was despatched for the Swansea engine, who reached his destination in twenty five minutes. Above an hour, how- ever, was Itht in procuring horses, so that when the engine arrived at the scene of action, which it did in three quarters of an hour, the fire had been already extinguished. In 3t hours from the discovery of the fire, all danger was at an end, and the parties interested could once more breathe freely. But during this short time, the upper half of the tower was com- pletely gutted — the roof had fallen in, though this was in some degree beneficial, as it precipitated a large tank of wafer upon the flames. The two mash tnns-capahlp together of holding nearly 800 bushels of malt-with their valuable fitfinirs, and all the brewery mstrlJlnen1. wcre also destroyed.— Without pretending to form a correct estimate of the damage sustained, we are inrlinell to think that seven thousand ponods will not suffice to restore the building and its contents to their former condition but we are glad to hear that the brewery and stock are fully insured in several London offices. or the origin of the fire nothing certain is known, but there can he no doubt that it was purely accidental. —We are happy to learn that the trade of the Company will not be checked by this disaster, as the who!e of their very large stock has escaped uninjured. It likewise forlunately happens, thltt an extensive ortler for East India pale ale, which had just been completed, has also been saved.—Great praise is due to Mr. Peak, the superintendent of the county police, for his able management and active ex- ertions.—The indefatigable exertions both of the men belong- ing to the Brewery, and ufmany others who promptly attended, and their disregard of personal danger, prevented the total destruction of the property.—This building is one of the finest specimens of hammer-dressed masonry in the Principality, and reflects much credit on the spirited projectors, Messrs. Stan- combe, Bucklatid, and Rusher; and upon the builder, Mr. William Richards, of Swansea. ABEKAVON. —On Monday last, a tea party was held at Ebenezer Baptist Chapel,* the proceeds of which is to be applied towards the liquidation of the debt tncurred in building the Chapel. From six to seven hundred persons were present. Several appropriate addresses were delivered duting the evening. THE FLOODS 1"1 CARMARTHENSHIRE.The heavy floods of last week have caused considerable damage in the county of Carmarthen. Two bridges over the Gritty, one of wood the other stone, have been entirely swept away, and part of Abergwilly bridge has broken down.—Sir. Thos. Richards, a farmer, residing at Pantsi-is, was drowned in imprudently endeavouring to cross the Gwilly on horseback, near the late stone bridge. Several persons endeavouied to persuade the unfortunate man not to attempt it, but he per- sisted, and was carried away by the impetuous current. His body was found on Sunday, and on Monday, a Coroner's inquest was held before J. P. Watkins, Esq., when a verdict of Accidental death" was returned. CAKDlGAiVSHIItti. — Fl.ooOS IN THE VTALE OF TlVY.— A fellow-townsman, who has just returned from Cardigan, informs us that the river Tivy has become so swollen, that it has inundated the whole of the beautiful vale through which it flows, and occasioned the destruction of agricultural pro- perty to an immense extent—many hundred acres of mea- dow and rye-grass, just ready for the scythe, aud most pro- mising crops of wheat, oats, and barley, have been either completely spoilt, or received ineparabie injury. We ale informed that similar inundations are becoming month by month more frequent, and tbat their origin is entirely attri- buted to the working of slate quarries on the banks ol the river by the inhabitants of the town of Kilgerran, who, to save themselves the labour of removal, deposit the rnbhish in the bed of the river. The consequence is, that the bed, being considerably narrowed and raised, the water caunot make its escape, and when swollen by a fall of rain of even one day's duration, it inundates the surrounding country in a most fearful manner. The most singular circumstance con- nected with this calamity is, that although the manner in which the slate qarrymen conduct their workings is known to be completely unjustifiable and illegal, yet such is the snpineness of the country gentlemen residing on the banks and in the neighbourhood of the Tivy, that no effort what. ever is made by them to abate so intolerable a nuisance, to punish the offending parties, and to remedy the mischief already done, although it is quite clear that if the quarries are permitted to be worked much longer, and the rubbish deposited iu the river, the adjacent country will be converted into a lake. This supineness will appear the more extra- ordinary on the part of the Cardiganshire and Pembroke- shire gentlemen, when it is recollected that many of them are actual sufferers to the extent of several hundred pounds per annum, which would be permanently avoided by the equivalent of one year's loss expended in widening the channel of the river where it has been narrowed by the illegal acts of the quarrymen of Kilgerran. Were the land- owners the only sufferers, we would he the last to object to their apathy in thus allowing the annual destruction ot their crops and soil, but the injury to the whole of that part of the Principality by the destruction of the public roads, and the delay and inconvenience caused to commercial intercourse, we feel it our duty as a public journalist to point out, be- lieving that, in no other part of her Majesty's dominions, a cause of injury so evident and so easily removed, would have beeu allowed to exist for so long a time. TEETOTALISM, — Whit-Monday last, was a day of mnch rejoicing to the teetotallers of Aberavon and the neighbourhood, where they held their fifth Hmmat meeting. At eight o'clock in the morning a delegates' meeting was held at the Calvinistic Methodist Chapel, in the said place, to take into consideration the best mode of forwarding the important cause which they were about that day 10 congre- gate on its behalf. At ten o'clock, a public meeting was held, at the said Chapel, in aid of its principles. The Rev. W. Jenkins, of Carmarthen, opened the meeting by reading a portion of the word of God, and prayer. The Rev. W. Williams, Talgarth, was chosen to preside over the meeting, and after a short and comprehensive address to the crowded audience, he called npon the following men to advocate the cause :—Mr. Thomas Morgan, Cardiff; Rev. Daniel Evans, Nea h, Independent; and Rev. J. Jones, Llanddarog, Calvinistic Methodist. The addresses were acknowledged to be weighty, and very impressive, liO that the wrath of our enemies praised the cause." The meet- ing was then concluded by the Rev. D. Evans, when the teetotallers separated for an hour, to partake of the provision plentifully provided for the various societies which met on that day. At half-past one a procession was foimed, at the said Chapel, containing the teetotallers, ofMaesteg, Pont- rhydyfen, Cwmbvchan, Dyffryn, Aberavon, and Margam, when thev marched to Taibach, to hold another meeting, at three o'clock, at the Calvinistic Methodist Chapel. The meeting was opened by the Rev. J. Morgan. The chairman (Mr. Williams) stated the object of the meeting, and tnen called upon the following gentlemen:—Jenkins, Morgan, and Rev. T. Phillips, Penvcae. The meeting was con- cluded by Mr. Williams, when the thousands present dis- persed with every heart filled with joy and gladness. It is supposed, that since the commencement, we have not had such a feast to the soul as on this occasion. At seven o'clock, another meeting was held at Taibach, very nume- rously attended, which was addressed by Mr. p. Phillips, Mr. Morgan, Reverend J. James, Biidgend, Calvinistic Methodist. This meeting again was attended with the presence of the Lord, which was proved by the great num- ber of drunkards that were induced to flee to the teetotal refnge at the close of the meeting. Another meeting was held at the same time, at Aberavon, addressed by Mr. John Morgan and Mr. Williams. We have reason to believe, that the Lord was in our midst, and that gre^t things have been done. The meeting was then separated after singing and prayer. Two meetings were held, by Mr. Thomas Morgan, on the following evenings, at Aberavon and Taibach, in aid of the same cause. We are happy to "tate that upwards of one hundred persons have signed theptedge, many ot whom were proverbial for their profligacy aud drunkenness.— From a Correspondent. HAVEKFOIIDWEST.—TOTAL ABSTINENCE FESTIVAL.— On Monday last (Whit Monday), the members of the Haver- fordwest Teetotal and Rechabite Societies held their annual festival in that town. Early in the morning, larce numbers of members anived from Pembroke, Pater, Saint David's, Milfoid, and other parts of the county, for whom breakfast was provided ill the Infant School-room. About eleven o'clock the brethren of the various Rechabite Tents formed ilt procession at the Infant School, and marched down to the Market-place, where they joined the members of the Teetotal Society: they then perambulated the principal streets of the town in most excellent order, accompanied by two hands of music, and carrying about haif-a-dozen very beautiful and appropriate banners, the rear being formed by an officer of one of the Reelrabite Tents, who bore a long pole, on the top of which was a cask, having the two ends out, and the staves partially broken, over which was written the words, We see through it." Unfortunately the morning was very wet, so that great numbers were deterred from walking in procession but, wet as it was, no fewer than about 800 attended. It was apprehended in the morning thai some opposition would be offered bv the anti-teetotalers, but not the least took place, and the most perfect order was observed throughout. At four o'clock in the afternoon teawastaid out in the Market-place, 500 tickets of admission, at Is. each, having been previously sold, in addition to which nearly 261. vere received at the doors, every person entering paying Is. The societies were honoured with the presence of a con- siderable number of the ladies and gentlemen of the town and neighbourhood, some of whom joined the members in the "cup which cheers but not inebriates." After tea, appropriate addresses were delivered by Messrs. Scott, Phelps, Lewis, and others, which were listened to with great attention and satisfaction. A sermon, forcibly pointing 'out the evils of drunkenness and the advantages of total abs»inence,wasafterwardspreached by the Rev. Mr.Williams, of Keeston, to a large congregation. DYFFRYN COLLIERY, ABERDARE;—-We are happy in being enabled to state, that this extensive colliery is ill full operation. The discontent, which unhappily for the oollieis themselves, lately prevailed tho e, has been entirely removed, and the fomentors of the strike will do weil to ponder on the mischief which they had calculated upon, and hereafter bear in mind the timely lesson which has been taught them. We fervently hope that the men now see who their real friends are,.and who are their enemies. The present satis- factory state of things has been brought about by the unbend- ing firmness of Mr. Powell (the spiiited and entei poising proprietor of this colliery), and hv the unwearied and praise- worthy exertions of his agent, Mr. William Rowlands, who has been indefatigable in seeming the large complement of hands requited at the colliery. We have much pleasure also in recording our opinion of the very sati^factoiv state of all the workings, and also of THE admirable supply of pille air throughout the whole, not a single accident of any kind whatsoever having occurred since the colliery his been placed under the skilful superintendence of Mr. Rowlands. We are assured of this by the remarks made to us by a mineral agent, of long standing IN the Principality, who has lately inspected Ihe whole of the woiks. LANDAFF WHITSUNTIDE FAIK.—We are sorry to announce, that this once celebrated emporium for every description of horned cattle and horses, hrS now compam- tively dwindled to nothing. The supply on THE present occasion was abundant, but we presume Sir Robert Peel's tariff totally precluded anything LIK* business. We recollect that it was usual in bv-gone (Jaystor the inns of Cardiff, as well as those of Lami.IFF, to be laterally crowded on the night preceding the fair with respectable dealers from DISTANT counties, all on the tiptoe for their various specula ions, but, alas! not so now—we know of but few in THE present instance. The most marketable commodities appeared to be cows with their calves, but these sales weie of a most awful iioii-remuneraling character. There were hot few fat cattle, horses in an overwhelmi ng supply, but nothing of a particular nature to admire, but very few of those changed bands. The weather on Monday afternoon was totally against the fineries, and many a hidie fuir was woefully disappointed, the rain pouting down in torrents the whole evening not- withstanding, many braved the storm despite of the element. Tuesday, however, made up fOR iI, for on this day from an early hour, droves ot lads and lassies crowded thero-tds and fields on all sides and in every direction, and Landaff be- came a bustling scene till an unusual late hour. THE IIION TKADE.—The population of Merthyr may be stater! at 35,090 souls; taking Abenlare, Hirwain, and the neighbouring inhabited parts, it mav be satelv assumed that not tess than 10,000 more MAY be added. Titus we have a condensed mass of 45,000 people within tbe compass of what may be estimated as no more than one town, although somewhat partially scattered. Now, the whole of tllP POPII- latiori of Merthyrand itscircnnijacent parts is absolutely en gaged in and dependant upon tlie great iron works ill that (own, that i., inCyf rthfa, Dow lais, Pen-y-darrati, Hi.wain, Ptymonth, Aberdare, SEE, The weal or'woe, if so revolu- tions of prices may he characterized, of the iron trade, acts and re-acts naturally upon the workpeople, and determines their fate. The special product of the Merthyr iion works (Glamorgan and Monmouth generally as well) is bar iroll; and bar iron is almost unsaleable at this moment at 4/ per ton, which the years ago the i'on masters were actually un- able to supply TO crowding or lers at 91 per ton, and even 10. and which, as we are well assured, cannot be produced with THE greatest economy of working at less than 4/. 15s. What is the result? The Welsh ironmasters, wealthy as they are, and tar the most wealthy of their class in the kingdom —for their riches and properly are reckoned bv hundreds of thousands, or millions—have, with constantly accumulating and unsaleable stocks, for the last two Y ea> s, been compelled to notify to (lie government, that to go on making i, on is im- possible, for w ant of means, to say nothing of posiiive loss to t lemselves, whilst to slop is ruin to the workpeople. They have stated, that, without assistance in means, 'hat is, money advances from the government, the works must be stopped, an.) the people thrown out of employ, inasmuch as the iron. masteis have more stock on hand already than they ate able to hold. Supposing the iron works of Merthyr, with its con- tiguous and undivided suburbs of Dow lais, Aberdare,&C. to lirn ST0''L,E^' 'BE furnaces to be blown out, what results Vvhy, that some 45,000 people, workmen and families inclu- sive, will be thrown out of biead, and absolutely consigned to stai vation, parish relief for so many being out of the ques- tion. It tnav be assumed, that a very much larger working population still exists through the whole of the two counties. This would give, without exaggeration, 100,000 souls without biead, supposing the iron woiks to be stopped, and the fur- naces to be blown out, as must be the case shortly, without a remarkably favourable change in commcrcial affairs. Whal, in such a probable, such a forthcoming crisis, do the government propose to do i—Morning Advertiser. fHE BRITISH HOLLANDS DISTILLERY COMPANY AND ASSOCIATION FOR THE PRODUCTION OF HOME BRANDIES, AND ALL OTHER SPIRITUOUS LIQUORS —It is with US A fixed principle 10 give a decided preference to every article of home giowtb, or manufacture, whenever we perceive any fair ^approximation in its quality to a similar production of foreign origin. In the conrse of rather extensive wander- ings over the Continent of Europe, curiosity has led us to visit one or two of the largest establishments in Holland, celebrated for distilling the finest rlescription of tbe liquor so well known to connoisseurs under the name of Schiedam and it has, ere now, been matter of surprise to us, that the Du'ch should have been so long allowed to remain in quiet possession of a I, monopoly" to which they can show no just title. "Hollands," however pure and mellow, does not, in reality, owe its excellence to a foreign soil or climate. It is a corn-spirit, produced by a process just as easily followed in England as any where on the other side of the Ger man Ocean, and we are glad to find tlr T our opinion on this sub- ject is proved correct by the British Hollands Distillery Company, a sample of whose Schiedam" we have tasted, and pronounce it to be excellent.—Farmers' Journal, Mon- day, May 29.

To the EDITOR of The CAMBRIAN. SIR,—Although the party in the Church, vulgarly known by the name Puseyites," have in some measure exceeded the ritual and canons of the Anglican Church, yet I do not perceive any cause which could have justified the violent declamations made against the whole of the Establishment by the speakers both at the Swansea and Neath Anti-Factory Bill Meetings. A certain Rev. Gentleman at the latter place committed a most egregious mistake, when he said that 9.000 out of the 11,000 Clergymen which belong to tbe Church of England were Pusey. ites." In order, however, to convince the Rev. Wesleyan alluded to, I will inform him, that there are in all upwards of 15,000 Clergymen so we can deduce a proof of the fallacy of his assertIOn almost without laying down a premiss. Out of this great number, I will chftllenge liim to prove even 1000 to be followers of Dr. Pusey. In reality, there are very few. If this resolute speaker, like many of his sort, had only examined the subject he had in hand, he would not have left room for public contradiction. I will not dilate any further upon these proceedings, and have to state that my only desire in bringiug his assertion to public notice was. in order to all'ord the public a specimen of the data upon which these violent opponents of the bill ground their de- clamations. I remain, Sir, your obedient servant, Aberdylais, June 5th, 1843. COSPWR.

To the EDITOR of The CAMBRIAN. SIR,—Being fully aware the "mountain was in labour," I did expect :.omething more like truth aud argument than was to be found in the letter of the Rev. Thomas Williams, which appeared in your last. Were I to attempt to show all the mis-statements in the letter, I should take up a great deal too much of your valuable columns; and I further think it would be useless to do so, as the public- looking at Mr. Williams's other letters, and comparing them with Ilus-will blush for him," that he can audaciously assert in one letter the opposile he has staled in another and taking him as 8 specimen, will henceforth doubt whether every true Churchman is a true Christian." I must, however, make a remark or two, on this his positively" last letter. Mr. W. knows, that when he objected to the proposition of my note, Mr. Griffith said, \Vell, then, as the amendment is re- jected, the original proposition of Mr. W.'s must sland," and took up his hat, to accompany the two Clergymen and myself, in order to commence the (so-called) investigation, but soon put it down again, when to his astonishment be found that, in violation of that agieement, Mr. W. had determined that his deputy, Mr. O. Shell ard. should be of the party; Mr. B. remarked, as he did so, The tribunal, so constructed, is an unfair one, and I must protest against it." I said, that I considered an investi- gation would answer no purpose," because, when I looked at Ihe tribunal, consisting, as it did, of two Clergymen, both of whom said they were accused, and the Superintendent of the schoul- who, from his unbounded love of notoriety, and great desire to aupear ilt print, commenced this afrair-I thought IlIat it was not likely we should obtain the truth from children who had been pre- viously interrogated, and who would now be under terror, bJ the presence of those who couldat once exclnde them from the school. I objected to the umpire chosen by Mr. W., simpiy because I thought that the arbitrators ought to choose their 010'1 umpire, and that Mr. W. doing it, looked as if be wished to choose two arbi- trators in place of one. But to pass over other minor mis .statements, I will just direct you to one, which must appear to be glaring in the extreme. Towards the close of his letter, Mr. W. says, that when he showed his letter of IH^ 16th of May, to Mr. J. H. Davies, he concurred ill the truth of its statements Now, that gentle- man positivelr denies this, as your readers will see, by reterriog to my last letter. Is this, then, a fair statement of facts," to which Mr. W.'s Rev. friend affixes his attestation—which, t hope, was not 011 oath-or is it not a during and wilful flll",hllod! II 0, tell it not in the Diocese of Llandaff, publish it not in the streets of Merthyr." It must appear rather singular, thai Merthyr or its vicinity— within Mr. W.'s own diocese—could not furnish him with a brother Clergyman, equally interested in this affair with himself, to act as his friend, so that he was obliged to go to an obscure parish, in a neighbouring diocese, and bring his friend from thence." Does not this fact say something of the estimation in which he is held by his own immediate brethren. It is equally remarkable that Mr W. should state his inability lo find a friend, even at a moment's notice." in a town like this, where there are so many respectable Churchmen, without being obliged to select a gentleman, who, be now slates, was not a friend," and whose standard of respectability, it appears, was merely because he was clothed with the oflice of church- warden, and that by the Rev. Gentleman himself. Is this a proof of the estimation in which be is held by those whose opinions are of value." Mr. W. Omils one very important particular, which he commis- sioned a friend to tell me, in the shape of f1 threat, that, unless I gave up the report, he was determined to obtain it by legal pro- ceedirigs, if he should spend his last farthing! Oh, the tolerance of the Reverend Gentleman. I need not say that Mr. W. has not overturned a single point in my letter, for the public will at once observe the lame and silly manner in which he endeavours to extricate himself. He had better, therefore, examine himself, and remove the beam from his own eye," before he so readily detects the mote in his neighbour's." I now leave him to tbe kind care" of the self-constituted Bishop of Merthyr," and remind them, that a discerning publio know how to distinguish between a sanctimonious appearance, and the true garb of Christianity or, as a well-known Poet expresses- 0 warl Jome pow'r the giftte (fie us, To see ovrllelves as others Nee V" It WAD ftae monie A bininlt-r free us, And foolish notion, What alra in dress an' gait wad lea'e os, And even devotion." But I must conclude, lest I should mist the post, and be at the expense of sending a special messenger with this; and begging your indulgence, Mr. Editor, once more, I am, Sir, your obliged servant, Merthyr, June 6, 1843.
