I BARRACKS AT SWANSEA.—On Monday, a meeting of Magistrates was held at Mr. Attwood's officc, to take into tonsidelstion the conrse to he pursued with respect to the providing of barracks for the troops now stationed atSwan- sea. It will he remembered that, Col. Love having inti- Jnalcr1 his determination of withdrawing the troops from r,he tf)wn, unless proper accommodation were provided for them, the Mauistrates applied to the Town Council for litiids with illicit to rrect temporary barracks; but, upon divisions at two successive nieetiiigs, convened tor the pnrrose ot taking the communication tioin the Magistrates into consideration, 'he majoiitv of the members ot the Council present decider! that sio additional numbers ot troops were requited than <"ou!d lie accommodated at the present barracks, and that, consequently, (he implication of the Magistrates could not Lie. acceded to.—The meeting on Monday was called in conse- (plPnce of Ihis I ern-al of the Town Council, and we under- stand that the Magistrate* lisve determined upon converting into barracks the house in Hinh-street, known as the Lon- don Hotel," and which is used at present as a nigh*. asylum for the houseless poor. As it was stated in the communica- tion to the Council, that the Magistrates had no available funds for providing barracks, we conclude that the expense of die alterations in the above house will be defrayed out of Hie juivi'e juirip** of ilie IV]ai;isr Ilt;3F.cc ;'s PROCEEDINGS.—Dy letters from corres- pondents residing in various part. or the country, we perceive that Rebecca's hostility against turnpike-gates is far from ••easing. Indeed, it does not appear that she is in any way inclined to permit of a truce, much less tli in make a declaration (If peace, and an entire cessation of hostilities ttwas stated in our last that the Pontardulais gate, at which the serious collision between the Rebcccaites aad the police took place, i,a-| |,f.Pn carried away a few days after that occurrence. Since tlien the Trustees caused a bar to he erected there, as a temporary substitute for a gate. In consequence of an intimation received by the authorities of an intended attack upon the bar on Saturday night, it was sedulously watched on that ni"hf, and as a matter of course, Rebecca was not seen- but, on the following night (Sunday), when the mililary had quitted their posts, Rebecca removed the bar. Since which a chain, which had been placed across the road, has aUo been carried away, and on Tuesday niz-ht last, another bar was removed. On Wednesday, a pair of new gates were erected there, hot how long they shall stand, remains to be seen. We fear they must share the fate of their predecessors. Smce the first destruction of the gate, no tolls have been collected during night, the collector deeming it the best part of valour to retire soon after suuset, and attend early on the following morning. However, it appears that he was not at his post early on Saturday morning, as a number of farmers and others who attend Swansea Market, meeting with no obstruction in the shape of a toll-gate or even a toll-collector, passed toll free. In the afternoon, as the farmers were return- lnz. the collector demanded payment from those who had paid no toll in the early part of the day. The latter, like the lawyers, cited their free passage in the morning as a prece- dent, and contended, that, 95 they h«d passed tree in the Morning, the same rule should be adhered to in the evening. The collector decided the precedent to be bad in law," and demanded his toll. Some persons paid, but others insisted upon passing toll free. Since then, thecollector has received a threatening letter from'Becca, advising him to quit, or he must take the consequences of incurring her displeasure. We learn by our Llandovery Correspondent's letter, that on Monday night last, a party of Rebecca's followers passed through the village of Cilycwm, in Carmarthenshire, and pro- ceeded to Porthyrhyd gate, on the road leading from Llan- dovery to Lampeter, which they speedily levelled. From thence these destructives passed onwards towards Llandovery, demolishing the posts of two bars which have not been in use for some years. About two o'clock on Tuesday morning, they halted upon Doldyhirion bridge, a mile distant from Llan- dovery, where they remained for a short time, awaiting, it is surmised, some signal to inform them that the military had retired to red. At the signal of command they set to work in right earnest with five or six saws, by which the gates, posts, and rails, near that bridge, were completely cleared away. During the progress of the destruction of the gate, they fired several gun shots into the toll-house, for the purpose of intimidating the collector and his wife, both of whom are advanced in years. When the work of destruction was over, n volley was fired, and all the rioters departed along the road leading to Cilycwm, having left a threatening notice^ with the collector, who, in consequence, has "resigned office and re- moved his goods.— A Correspondent writing from Landyssd, Cardiganshire, says-" I believe the general feeling among the people respecting Rebeccaism is much the same as it is about Llanelly, Pontardulais, &c. There is not a single toll- gate in this neighbourhood, neither have we had any since June last, when they were destroyed by the Reheccatles. RUBKCCA AND THE ODDFEI LOWS.—Our Llanelly Correspondent informs us that, on Tuesday evening, a large meeting of Oddfellows was held at the Townhall, in that town, attended by many of the most respectable and inftn- ential inhabitants of Llanelly, for the purpose of taking into consideration the "state of things," and of expressing their opinions upon the various topics which now agitate the public mind, especially in their own county, Carmar- thenshire, and the adjoining counties. What passed curing the meeting," adds our Correspondent-" I, of conrse, had no opportunity of knowing, as none. bnt Odd. fellows were admitted, bnt from the treqnent signs of ap- probation which reached the ears of persons in the street, unanimity seemed to prevail. After the business of the meeting was over, the members walked in procession through the town, their gay dresses producing a pleasing effect by J.:a8 light." It will be perceived by the resolutions agreed to at the meeting and which are inserted inonr advertising columns, that the members of this loyal and patriotic society, while admiring the existence of grievances, view with feelings of-deep regret the nightly outrages and destruction of private prop'erty-hich have taken place in the neigh- bourhood," and pledge tlTOnselve* to exert their influence to connteraet such unjnstifiableand nefario«fti»M»ceedings., BRKCONSHIKE TIMINPIKE TKUST.-A meeting of this TVtist, attended by an unusually large concourse of trustees, took place, pursuant to public notice, on Wednesday last, at the NewjShire h d), Brecon. Col. Wood, M.P. in the chair, when it was ordered that Bwlch Llangorse Gate, Seniiv Bridge Gate, the Side Gate in Llanvaes, the Groesfford Gate, the Side Gate atTairderwen, Llyswen Side Gate. the Watten Side Gate, Pontcnmbeth Side Gate, and the West Side Gate at Builth, be taken down and discontinued, at 12 o'clock at noon, on the 29tb of September instant. It was al<o resolved that the Penygenfford Gate be abandoned, and that the Talgarth Gate and the Tretower Gate on that road, «-lear each other; anil the thanks of the meeting were voted to John Hotchkis, Esq. and the Rev. C. Vaughan (who hold debentures on the road) for their very liberal and handsome conduct in consenting to it. CAKDIGANSHIKH TRUST.—There was a meetine of the Trustees last week at the Angel Iun, Cardigan. There were present Edward Lloyd Williams, Esq., the Chairman; the Rev. A. Brigstocke. Mr. Lloyd Hall, the Rev. John Jones. Messrs. Parry, Prichard, and many others. This Tmst is divided into the upper and lower trust. The meet- inlt of the upper one held at Aberystwith was-tully reported ill our columns. At the meeting last Tuesday of the lower trust, resolutions were adopted similar to ihu«e passed at AbervslwitU by the Trustees at the meeting there. It w& decided that the interest of talhes should be reduced fiom 5 t0 per cent.; that the toll 0n light carts be 2d. and not 4d.: that the toll on cattle be reduced from 5d. to 10d. per score, and that all other tolls be proportionality reduced. It was said that carts carrying lime for manure could not be rendered wholly exempt under the existing act of Parlia- ment. Resolutions were adopted preliminary to the pre- sentation of a petition to Parliament for the introduction of a clause in the Act abolishing the power given by the local trust act for back toll when a can passes through a gate for the third time. ATTACK ON BAILIFFS.—At Maesgwenllian, near Kidwelly, several bailiff* were put in possession for arrears of rent, to the amollnt of 150/ but altoitt one o'clock on Monday se'nnight, Rebecca and a great number of hpf > followers made their appearance on the premises, and after driving the bailiffs off, conveyed away the whole of the goods distrained upon. As SODII as daylight appeared, the bailiffs returned, but fonnd no traces ot Rebecca nor of the goods which had been taken away. CLAIMS ON THE HUNDRED8 IN CONSEQUENCE OP LOSSES BY REBECCAISM.-—An enquiry was held at the Guildhall, Carmarthen, last week. before a large bench of Magistrates^ 10 assess the amount of damage sustained at certain tott. houses, in consequence of the proceedings of Rebecca and her daughters. v A great number of witnesses were examined and cross-examined at great length, the enquiry lasting for five successive lionrs. At the conclusion an order was made Rvpay for rfce damage done at Miiikfe toll house, amount'tug to the sum of 151. and St. Vs. 6d. jSpatvnf the application; for the damage done ar, JRfWthyrliy.il toll house, the sum of 29/ witli ,<tbeof 2i. 6s. costs of application, together ,MHI,I.JU, 75.

SWANSEA. —A St. Leger Dinner took place at this tavern, on Wednesday last, wlien about thirty-five gentlemen sat down to one of riic best sporting dinners that ever took place in the town. The wines were of that superior quality that pleased e*eiy one. The Chair was kindly taken by Mr, Newcombe for Mr. Rolls, tin; .drawer of Notwith, aud the Vice by Mr. Probert, whodrew Cotherstone. The evening was spent with the greatest sociability and conviviality, for which this house is so cele- brated, and after the glass and song bad passed the usual round, the members retired to their homes, pleased with the good entertainment of the worthy host and hostess, ami the respectable company that had contributed to the harmony Of the evening. The Stakes were paid to the respective winnets, and the members were so satisfied thai they re- quested Mr. Shepherd, the secretary, to draw up a Derby for 1844, f. which about thirty gentlemen immediately subscribed. WHITE LION (CARDIPF) DINNEK.—This meeting -Ccttne off" 00 TneaAav night Vast, when the prizes were paid |o the several fortunate drawers of the winning horses. The meetingwas nomerouolv and respectably attended, and the dinner gave full satisfaction. From the manner ill which the Derby and the present Sweep have been conducted, another Derby WM aueouneed, and every assurance exists -that it will fill, M m to make the chief prize tOOL-The evening's entertainmenta weie much enhanced by :he kind and gratuitous attendance of the Master and pwt of the Glamorgan Band, whose exertions and taste iu display of their raqsical talent were tum-eisally acknowledged. At two o'clock on Wednesday last a fire broke out ib the workshop of Mr. Thos Griffiths, builder, Brecon, and notwithstanding the editions of the 7th Royal Fusiliers, with one of the barrack eogiues, and of the inhabitants, Mr. Griffilh,tock of tools and those of his workmen were de- stroyed. One of the latter sustains a loss of forty pounds. The premise* wliere the fire originated were entirely con- sumed, and ure regret to Bad tkat Mr. G, was only partially insured. NEATH NATIONAL SCHOOLS.—On Thursday, the 7th instant, Mrs. Grant, of GoolI Castle, with her characteristic benevolence, regaled the whole of the children belonging to the above schools with tea and cake. The Girls' School- roo.m was most tastefully decorated 011 the occasion by Mrs. Cook, the governess. We coui < not help admiring the chair, which was dressed profusely with oak leaves, ever-green*, and flowers, prepared for Mrs. Grant, who so justly deserves every mark of respect which can he shown her. The sight when the children had all taken their seats, to the number of I'JG, was truly pleasing, and their graiiti^d looks bespoke very plainly their enjoyment of the good things prepared for them. They sang a very appropriate hymn, and concluded with the national anthem, which elicited great applause Ironi all the company present. NEW TOWMIW.L AT BRIDGEVD.— A friend at Bridf- end writes—"In the very interesting and copious report in your last week's paper, of the ceremony of laying the toon- dation stone of the New Townhaii, through some inadver- tency the names of two gentlemen were not mentioned, who h ive rendered important services, in addition to liberal subscriptions, namely, M. P. Traheme, E^q., of Coytrehene, who has, in addition to a handsome subscription, presented Kratis all rhe sand stone for the building, and Wilii itn Lewis, Esq., a large subscription, and who has rendered his pro- fessional services gratis."—[U hile our reporter was engaged in writing the first pill t of his teporf at the Wyndham Arms, a gentleman present promised, alter the dinner was over, to give liiin the names of all the gentlemen ill the piocession who had rendewd important services towards the erection of the building; hut the dinner not Inving been concluded until it was nearly dark. our reporter, "Iw was to pioceed to Carmarthenshire earlv on the next morning, was com- polled to leave Hridgend before meeting the gentleman in question. This will account for the omission.—El)]. THE FTAIIVEST.—Very many years have e!a;>sed since the farmers have been blessed with such favourable weather for the in-gathering of their crops. They have taken every advantage of the season, and the harvest, may now be said to be almost completed. We cannot he too grateful to Divine Providence for the blessing ot such a season—the more especially as at an earlier period of the year, in con- sequence of the unfavourable weather, there were fears entertained of a far different result. TUE WILHEM SYSTEM.—WE hear that the female class tansht on this popular method of sinsing, at the Royal Institution, in this town, under the tuition of Mr. Williams, harpist, has lately been incorporated with the men's first class. Its progress, in so short a period, it appears, has been very satisfae ory. We also hear, that it is intended, soon, to have a public examination of the united classes, when, it is hoped, the laudable efforts of those friends of education, who have laboured" through good report and evil report," and who have, by being instrumental in diffusing a taste (Oi the cultivation of music throughout the locality, so materially contributed to the intellectual recreations of the people, will he duly appreciated. DKOWXED. —As a yontb. 17 years of age, son of Mr. Richard Hopkins, Dderwen Vawr, wasnnttint: ou Sunday last, near the river side above Dylais rock, the branch of the tree on which he was resting gave way, aud he fell into a deep po >1 underneath. The body was soon picked up, but life was gone. NAKKOW ESCAPE FROM DROWNING.—As a voting gentleman, of the name of Bridger, who had been on a visit to Mr. J. Weir, of this town, was going on hoard the County of Pembroke steamer for Bristol, at two o'clock on the morning of Tuesday last, his foot slipped, and he fell over the plank placed for passengers to board the steamer into the water. Beintr unable to swim he would most assuredly have sunk, had not Mr. Kyitaston, who stood close by, decended bv a rope, which was fastened to a mooring post on the quay, until he was near enough to Mr. Bridger, to grasp him around the body with his leg*. He held him on the surface of the water until Mr. Weir was enabled to glide down the side of the steamer, to which he held fast with one hand, while with the other he rescued his relation from his unpleasant sitnation. Mr. Bridger sustained no injury beyond the fright occasioned by the accident, and proceeded by the steamer as if nothing bad occurred. FATAL ACCIDENT.—On Friday, a poor man, named David Evans, was killed by falling into the hold of a vessel ')ingat our quay, named the Olive Branch, from which he was discharging ballast. The unfortunate man had hiukull frac- tured,and his ribs broken by the faU. He was taken to the infirmary, where medical assistance was promptly rendered, but the injuries sustained were of too severe a nature to be remedied, and the unfortunate man, who has left a wite and six children, expired in the course ol a few hours after he had been taken there. FATAL ACCIDENT —On Friday, Daniel Phillips, a man about 60 years of age, who was employed at the Cwm Avon Copper Works, met his death nnder the following circumstances:—It appears, he wasemptoyed in oiling the rollers of an inclined plane, on which a car with two trams laden with copper ore propelled by a water balance machine ran, when the car, which was nearer to him than he ex. peeled, ran over both his legs, which were crushed in a most dreadful manner. The unfortunate sufferer lingered in tJle jjreatest agony for about half an hour, when death put an end to his sufferings. He has left a wife and nine children, who have not only lost the earnings of his labour, but have also been deprived of about 401.year, which they received from a lease contingent upon his life. BURGLARY—On Monday night last, the house of a copperuian, named Thomas, residing at Penyvilia, near Swansea, was entered, and robbed of several articles of clothing.

Complainant said, that he was in his parlour, about eleven or half-past eleven o clock, on the night of Saturday last, when his foreman called hitn out, and stated that the prisoner had taken two pieces of meat from off the counter. It appeared from the evidence of Mr. Quelch's mau, that the woman came into the shop to barcain tor a shin bone of beef, and while doing so, managed to h crib" apifceof pork with it. She also tried to buy some mutton, and during the pro. and con. arrangement, took a second piece, and was then given in charge. Both pieces were found in her basket, which were sworn to by Mr. Qiielch. Henry St.tnesbury.the foreman, corroborated Mr. Quelch's, statement and depused to the above tacts.

Parent nor lover now contest tfee sway,* To friends alone this sacrifice I pay And here the shrine whose inmost part is strewed With offerings sacred to pure gratnude. Ye are the friends, on whom I proudly gaze, Whose light beams on me as in other days Ye are the fri uds, that still remain as true, As when I first upon your kindness drew For favour and support—then half afraid— Now, by a twice-told welcome bolder made, Again I stand before ye to confess The debt I owe of deepest thankfulness. How poor am I, that but in words can pay, Antl scarce can speak what most I wish to say But no false coin I seek to utter now. My thanks are sterling, and full weight, I vow In feeling's scale they well call stand the test, Tho* with no stamp of eloquence imprest, Then take the ottering, while approving hands, Sign a receipt in full of all demntids. But let me with the grace of candour own, This night's aitractioii is riot mine alone. One magic word has proved a mighty spew, To make this charming prospect look so well; The Ladies !"—honoured by their patron aid, I felt at once mf benefit was made; Creation's better half being on my side. I knew such influence could not be denied I"he other half was sure to form a whole— Could it exist without its life and soul? 'fht- lords must follow where the ladies lead Thus woman proves a tower of strength in need. 'Tis vain for man to struggle 'gainst her claim, Although, we grant, he is the head-an name- But not in power. What Briton dases deny Petticoat government ? While we can cry Victoria! Victoria! our's the day— lis woman rules, and nobly bears the sway, Firsi to dig Indies, then, I lowly bend, Acknowledging in each so ready friend, To whom a gratefuthf art's warm thanks are doe. And for tvhoin breathe that heart best wishes, too. May ye be happv MS your own desire Can picture, or the brightest hope inspire— May married dames live free from care or strife, And every blushing maiden die a wife. J Now to the brchryu anwyt, I would say, A word or 1 wo, before I go mv way. Oh, gentle airs, believe, that without you, The fairest scene would seem but dull to view For kind support I feel my obligation, And hear with joy your notes of admiration. Which, like a cordial spirit still we seek. To animate the strong, and nerve the weak— A spirit which for luking there's no shame, And eyen Father Malbew would not blame. Methinks I hear a crJ of Hold—enough We're out of patience with this rhyming stuff." Oil, pardon me for trespassing so long, But till the fault of woman's endless tongue.

SIR,—Some may say tlut the toll-charges in Glamorgan- shtre are high but we certainlr have not much reason to com- plain, if we compare the advantages we possess over our fore- tailieis who pMid no tolls. When they sent twenty bushels of grain eighteen or twenty miles, they could not do Ihe work without tour or five horses, but we are able to do it with a single horse, but must pay one shilling, <>r possibly eighteen-pence, toll in some places, which oil will agree is no inconstnerabte advantage in favour ol good roads and tnrnpike gates. Notwithstanding, it is but what iitdne to the county, that all turnpike trust accounts should be opm to public inspection, and should annually be. like the county rate, published in the local papers. Our Western neighbours hnve not yet recovered -their wonted good humour. At a meeting, it was o-od that the Magistrates had lost the con- fidence of t>>e c iuuty, but many said, no—which was rather an unfortunate assertion, for the siale of the county proves the can- trary. Bui whether the county wrongs them is.another question and if is to oe hoped, they will put themselves on their trial, and, that, after the intestigatio" of the charges, they will appear like gold out of the crucible. There has been another public meeting in Car'iiai theushire fr0m>}he'r proceedings, we learn that they consider themselves aggrieved, but. to enable the public to judICe iu their matters, it would bt as weft that they dealt more largely and accurately in statistics One speaker said, that nine-penc*e out of » shi'liug went to pay officers for carrying out the New P"or law. which must be incorect. Another said, that there were three turnpike gates within a mile and a half of each other, and at eacii of those payment must be made Now, I ,do not know what progress the schoolmaster has made in Carmarthen- sliiie, but from the above statement.^ it pay be inferred tbatthe science of political ec novny is yet in its infancy there. The other meeiings that Jiave taken place there, and where the peopl ■ have followed new lights in utter disregard of the wisdom of their forefathers, the consequence has been deeds of dark- ness, and bringing in their train innumerable evils. It is de- sirable that thtH consult the books of their ancestors without loss of time, where they will seethe hands of the Druids raised up vgainsi them, and desiring lliem go unarmed, and if they have public work to do, (o do it in the eye of the light and in the face of'tiie sun."

IMPORTANT MEETINGS OF TURNPIKE…
IMPORTANT MEETINGS OF TURNPIKE TRUSTEES. Most important Meetings of the Swansea Turnpike and Wyclitree Bridge Trusts, were held yesterday at the Town- ball. There were present, Mr. Vivian, M.P., in the Chair Revs. S. Davies and D. Jones, Messrs T. Eihv. Thomas, John Grove, Thos. Grove. W. H. Smith, M. J. Michael, R. Miers, T. L. Martin, W. Edmonds, O. G.Williams, Joseph Martin, Thos. Penrice, and Col. Cameron. Mr. VIVIAN. having been called to the Chair, observed, that the meeting had been convened in pursuance of a resolution passed at the last meeting. Mr. Vivian then said, that it would he re- membered. that nearly all the Trustees had considered it highly desirahle that the Swansea Trus! and the Wvclitree Trust should be consolidated; and for that purpose, a Committee had been appointed to carry the c insolidation into effect. The following; was the resolut on to which he aitudfd. and which was agreed to at a meeting held .011 the 10th of August, at which Sir John Morris occupied the chair:—" That it would be of advantage to the neighbourhood at larse, that the Wvclitree Trust should be con- solidated with the Swansea Trust, in accordance with the powers for that purpose given hy a clause in the Glamorganshire Turn- pike Act (p. 33). and that sorb consolidation shall lake place as soon as necessary and that the Clerk be iuslruded to write to tne parlies holding bonds of the Wyclitree Trust, requesting them to take the bonds of the Swansea Trust in lieu ot those of the Wvchtree Trust and that Messrs. Vivian, M.P., John Grove. and Thomas Grove, be appointed a Committee for carrying out the resolution of this meeting, with retard to the consolidation of the Wyclitree and Swansea Trusts." At the following meeting (continued Mr. Vivian), held on the 7t!, of this month, the Clerk reported that lie had written to the bondholders, all nf whom. with the exception of one person, had consented to take the bonds of t ie Swansea Trust, in lieu of those now held by them from the W*clitrce Trust, It was also resolved, that a meeting should he held on this d. y, to execute such bonds and that the consolida- j tion of the two Trusts should take place from the 1st of October, «it which time tolls should cease to be taken at the Wycbtree Bridge Gate, Mr. Bullen, the lessee, having agreed to give up the gale to the Trustees on that day. Mr Vivian then informed the meeting, thai, in consequence of those arrangements, stamps had been procured, and the necessary bonds drawn out. aid which were on the table, readv to be executed; circumstances hud, however, arisen, which had induced the Commiliee to think it expedient to take Counsel's opinion, as to whether, by the wording flf the clause of their Act of Parliament, the consolida- tion could legally he effected. Mr. Vivian then read tho clause of the Act. and said. that that course had been adopted in conse- quence of the protest against the consolidation of the Trusts, bv Mr. Christ. James, and which appeared in the Cambrian of the 9th instant. That protest having been sent in by Mr. James, a case was drawn np. in which all the facts were stated, and in which the various Acts were recited Such case was submitted to Mr. Vaughan Williams, together with a copv of the two re- ports and the protest. That gentleman, in reply, gave the fol- lowing opinion :— I am ofopinion that the Trustees have not the power of consoli- dating the two trusts in the manner proposed When and so soon as ihe debt of if e Wychtree Trust shall have beoopaid. that tiust will cease, and the bridge and roads become part of the Swansea District, by mere force of the Glamorgan Turnpike Act so that the true question appears to he. whether the Trustees have authority to Wr«i» money to pay oft" the debt of the W ydl- tree Trust and it seems to me that they have not, for by the Glamorgan Turnpike Act, they are only empowered to borrow money tor the purpose 'of this Act, and I do not think that the payment of the debts of the Wjchtree Trust can be properly re- garded as one of those purposes. Neorrlheless, i" a Court of LaiD, I ain of opinion that the proposed new bonds would be a good valid security to the takers, and further, that the signing of such bonds would impose no individual liability on the Trustees sign- ing them but if a bill in equity were filed against the Trustees, for a breach of trust, the clause would not, I conceive, protect them if the Court should be of opinion that they had been wil- fully applying the funds of the Trust to the payment of securi- ties, that would be held invalid as against all parties who took them with a knowledge of the circumstances. EDWARD VAUGHAN WILLIAMS. Dowling Lodge, near U abridge, Sept. 18th, 1843." Mr. Vivian proceeded —The question for their consideration was, whether the Trustees of the Swansea Trust had the power to borrow Ibe uecessury monies to pay ott the bondholders of the ychtree-gate lrusi, or not. He would only add, that ihere was a very general wish for the consolidation of these two Trusts, and if it could be eflected, he, for one, thought il would be most des I rable. The Rev. SAMUEL Davif.S asked, whether, in the face of the tega) opinion given by Mr. Vangban Williams, a rery eminent counsel, the Trustees wouid sign the bonds ? Col. CAMKKON was of opinion there would he no danger in signing the bonds, unless some litigious person chose to file a bill in equity against thent for doing 110, which, he thought, very improbable. Mr. VIVIAN said, the Wvchtree Bridge Act would expire next year, *nd then the question arose, whether thev must apply for a new act, or go to Pailiament for an act to consolidate the two Trusts, instead of applying for a new ao, for ,|ie Wyclitree Bridge, and in the meall! Ime, as it seemed tel be the general wish ot the country that the lol|-g;)te lit the bridl{e should be abolished, some arrangements should be made for that purpose. Mr., THOMAS GKOVR said, it was the dutv of the Trustees 10 protect the bondholders. He, therefore, thought that notices should be prepared both for an act of Parliament to consolidate the two Trust", and also for an act to renew the Wvchtree BiH so that if any opposition should be made to the first, they might carry the second. He thought the Trustees had no other alterna- tive. With respect to signing the bonds, though, personally, he shoold not object to the risk, as far as 4ool. or 5001. went, yet, under present circumstances, he could not consent to proceed regularly with the coarse of signing them. Rllrl ihns take upon himself a liability of belweell30ùol. and 4000/. Those notices should be given, otherwise a delay would he occasioned in doing away with the gale. Mr. Grove then moved :— Thut, in consequence of a tegat opinion taken by the Com- mittee, that the consolidation of the Wych Tree Bridge Trust with the Swansea Trust cannot take place, the necessary notices be inserted in the Cambrian and Swamea Journal newspapers, for a bill to consolidate the Wych Tree Bridge and Swansea Turn- pike Trusts." Mr. JOHN GROVE seconded the motion. Mr. W. H. SMlTIJ would agree to the resolution, provided the Trustees of the Wych Tree Kale would agree to do away with the gate at the linie specified, or within a few days of it, which they ooold daif jthey chose, He also thought, as tbeir proceedings were for the benefit of the Wych Tree bondholders, there should beAnrowmo in the resolution, to the effect, that these notices should he given, if they consented to abolish ifie folts al'ttke' Wych Tree Bridge on the 1st of October, or in fourteen days afterwards, I. this \voult1:l{i.e great lIatillfllclioll tt) the toll-payers. In oase of iheir failing to procure the necellsnn Act of Parliament, tbere was nothing to prevent their replacing the tolls, and the bond- holders could not be prejudiced, as they had now in hand 130l. which WHI sulilcienl to pay the interest, besides having a sufli- cient amount for repairs If this course were pursued, it would be the means of abating an intolerable nuisance, by the removal of the gate. Mr. Jos. MA RTl n observed, that it had been the unanimous wish of all the Trustees to do away with the Wychtree Rate. The Trustees had been of opinion, that they bad a legal right to consolidate the Trusts, but the Committee having taken Counsel's opinion, which was adverse to the consolidation, it was thought it could 1101 be effected. However, even according to that opi- nion, the bondt would be legally good, although they might not be so in equity. But who, ha would ask, would tile a bill as long as his bond was held to be legal, and his interest regularly paid. Let thewi only lOJk at the present stste of the case. The Trustees bad Riteb out to the public, thai it was their intention to abolish the Wycbtree-bridge gate, on and after the 1st of Co. Xther, and the public naturally expected that the expressed in. tentionof the Trustees should be curried into ellect. He had therefore prepared an amendment, which, he thought, would meet the difficulty. Mr. Martin then moved the following, as an amendment:—JChat in consequenoe of the opinion taken by the Committee appointed for the consolidation of the Wyclitree and Swansea Trusts beiug unfavourable as 10 the legal consolidation of such Trusts, resolved, that the Trusses "f the Wycbtree- bridge be requested to discontinue the collection of tolls at the bridge, on ihe 1st dav of October next, ns resolved at Ihe last general meeting of (he Trustees and that, if the legal difficulties alluded to in the Counsel's opinion cannot be overcome, that application be made to the next Session of Parliament, to confirm and make legal the intended consolidation; and if such legal difficulties can be overcome, that the legal notices be given for a new Act, and that the Trustees pledge ibemselves to use every means within their power to obtain the Act, if found neoessarv.h Mr. THOS. GROVE then saidLlfaal the question wan, whether they should discontinue the tofBpl the Wvchtree-bridge, before they had ob'ained the legal authority to do so. He thought they should not do that. beoause it was impossible to foresee the diffi- culties which milCht arille in passing the bill; and it would be rery wrong in them to give up their revenues, until they had se- cured the bondholders bj the passing of the Act. Mr. MARTIN Whj, if you were to fail in getting the Act, you could again place on the tolls. Mr. VIVIAN thought it very desirable to abolish the tolls at this gate, which had become very obnoxious. Mr. THOS. GROVE :—But if you once take the gate down, YOII canootllut it op again. Mr. SMITH observed, that the Act would expire in six months, and, therefore, the question was, whether they would take the gate down now or then for if they did not abolish those lolls, their application for a new Act would be opposed. After a long discussion as to the amount of the reoeipts of the Trust over the expenditure, which was stated amounted to 141. 0.. ld.Ollh, Col. CAMhRON addressed the meeting. He said that he was not present at the last meeting, but he would ask the Trustees how oould they, with so trifling a surplos, have come to a deoi- sion at that meeting to remove four bars and two gates. He wished them to aoeoDfit for this incongruity. Mr VrVIAN said, that if they referred to llid amount FOR the lafet 17 years, the average expenditure on new work amounted to 5311. If those gales were abolished, of course the Trustees could not lay cut so moch. Col. CAMERON would protest against the-redaction of tolls witb so small an income oyer tbe expenditure. Mr. MARTIN begged leave to observe, that some of those gates scarcely paid for the expanse of collecting. Colonel Cameron, he was confident, would not think of maintaining a gate, whioh perhaps produced only 161. annually, while tiie cost of collecting was 20l. A TRUSTEE said, that the question had been fully discussed and decided upon at the last meeting, and therefore could not, in bill opinion, be entered upon at the present meeting Mr VJVIAN would simply state, on behalf of the Commiliee, that they bad been appointed to Report on the number and locali- tieti of all toll-bars and gates within this district, and whether any chaneeofMite. or removal of any bars ortratea, could be reo commended for approvat. such report being drawn up with a view to collet the funds necessary for the expenses of the Trust, and at the same time to afford any relief that might be fairly afforded to the, toll-payers and the Committee, be must s*y,"bad endeavoured faithfully to carry out their instructions. Mr. T. GROVE again objected to their discontinuing tbe lolls at the Wychtree, because, if they did to. the bondholders would *av., •• You have taken down our gale, and what security have we let, for the money wr have advanced." Mr. MARTIN said it was quite certain that they could only get a new Act of Parliament as far as it regarded the bridge, but not for the road; and if they did get the Act, it might be with a toll of one half-penny for every horse. If tbe Trustees had no legal right 10 effect the consolidation, it was oleat tbey bad a moral right to do so. He would also contend, thattbey in curred no risk by doing so, and he, for one, wuatd be willing to sign those bonds that moment, if they were placed before him. He should certainly^divide on bis amendment. Mr. W. H. SMITH supported the amendment. As tbpy ran no risk in doing so, be hoped Mr. Grove would not object t. Mr. Martin's amendment, but would recollect lb«t they- had the public to look to aa well as the bondholders. After some farther discussion the meeting divided, when there appeared-— -'u For ihe Amendment. tar Mr. Grave t KefoMtfin. Mr. T. B<tw.

Mr. T. L. Martin, Vol. Cameron. Mr. M. i. Michael, Mr. W. H. Smith, Mr. Owen Williams. I A discussion then arose 11 to whether Mr. Jsmes s protest I .should b« entered |o tbe books. It was decidcd in tbe negatire. | ,t. WYCH TREE TRUST.—The Trustees then rormed themselves into a meeting as Trustees under the Wych Tree Act. Mr. T. GROVE moved a resolution, to the effect that the ne- cessary notices be given for the renewal of the Wycbtree Bridge Act.—Mr. J. Grove seconded the resolution. Mr. MARTIN moved, as Mil amendment, the addition of the words, 61 Provided the tolls on the Wvchtree Bridge be dis- continued on and after the 1st of October." The Rev. S. DAVIES thought that, injustice to the bondhold- ers, they could not legally discontinue the tolls. Mr. V IVIAN sujgesled that, in the amendment, there should he a provision for the appointment of a Committee, to iiujnire if they could legally abolish the lolls, and give the necessary liolices Mr. W. n. SMITH thought that some of the Trustees were afrnid of shadows. What would be the extent ot' their illegality if they catted it so? Wh" thaI they might be called upon to pay, between them, perhaps, 15t11 for the winter's tolls 1 :11Jd they quibbled at while irregu 1 ritie« hud been committed in nearly all the trusts of South Wales, until they had driven the count rv into a state of insurrection He would wish them, on (he I st of October, quietly to take the gate ofl'the hinges. Co!. CAIWKRON defied the two legal gentlemen present, to say that ihev could do it tegaih, and it thev could not do it legally, it oiif>ht not to be done. They had no" right to take into con- sideration that this, or that thioir, nsight he done, or the ¡;ate du- stroked. Thev ought to act legally and fearlessly. As a nuigis- j trate he would himseif willingly assist in protecting the gale. Let the toll-col Sector do his duty, and if liftv persons refused to pay toll, let them be summoned before him (Col.C.) aud he would fine their, 51. each. Mr. MARTIN contended, that, by consolidating the Trust, they would he giving additional seenrity to the bondholders A long discussion ensued, which ended in the withdrawal, by Mr. Martin, of his amendment. lie then proposed, in lien of it, the following amendineir :— "That the importance of the disenssion-relating to the collec- tion of tolls a' the Wycbtree Gate is such, that this meeting be adjourned to Thursday the 28th i,-ist. and that the clerk write to each Trtistee This amendment was unanimously carried, and tiie meeting accordingly adjourned :+-=.
SWANSEA PETTY SESSIONS.|
SWANSEA PETTY SESSIONS. Thpse sessions were held at the Town- Hall, on Tuesday, before the Revs Wm. Hewson, D. D. and S. Davies, T. Edw. Thomas and W. 1. Jones, Esqrs. IMPORTANT To PUBLICANS.—Mr. T. Bramble, landlord of the Talbot Inn. St. Mary-street, was summoned before the Bench for having refused, on the 17th of September, to provide accommo- dation for two soldiers of the 4th Light Dragoous, with slahling. &c. for their horses, after they had beet: biilelted upon hint The defendant admitted having refused 10 receive the soldiers, hut staled that he had done so on the ground that ihe Dragoons weie not billetied upon other publicans in proportion to the extent of their business, &c., but Ihal, while be had two other horse soldiers already biilelted upon hinl, ill addition to two loot soldiers, and until lately tour, while other publicans, having equal accommodation and a more flourishing business, were entirely exempt. — Mr. Shepherd, the Chief Constable, whose duty it was to provide billeis, said, that orders had been re- ceived to billet the Dragoons in houses situated in the vicinity of each oilier, to prevent tlie inconvenience arising from having the troops scattered, and that the public-houses upon which the troops were biilelted had been impartially selected. He thought Mr. Bramble had no greater reason to complain than other pub- licans.—Dr. Hewson informed the defendant, that if he thongl t himself hardlv dealt with, tl,e proper course would have been to bring the subject before the Magistrates, after having provided for the men but as, by refusing to take them in, be had taken tbe 1:1. into his own hands, and oaused the officer to billet them at the Castle Inn, he must bear the consequences.—Lieut. Brown did not think complainant's case by any means a hard one at the smat) town of Llanelly accommodation for 21 men and horses had been provided at three public-houses, and in Llandilo about 40 horse soldiers were billeltet^upon three or four inns, in accor- dance with the express order from Col. Love to billet the troops at houses near each ottier.-After a lengthened conversation be- tween the Magistrates and defendant, who complained of the hardship publicans were subject to, the Belich decided that the defendant should receive tbe soldiers, and reimburse tbe extra expence incurred by stabling the horses at an inn, anti also pay a fine of 40s., half of which the billet-master was to receive—being the lowest penalty it was in the power of ihe Magistrates to inflict. —Mr. Shepherd declined receiving his portioil of the fine, (hereby reducing it to 20". IMPORTANT TO MASTERS OF VESSELS AND OTHERS.— Matthew Wilkinson, master of the brig Elizabeths, was charged by Mr. Hall, with having deposited ballast on a certain part or the harbour, not approved of by the Trustees.—Capt. Edwards, harbour-master, after having been sworn, stated that, on that morning, in consequence of information received, he went up the river and saw defendant's vessel lying near Mr. Richardson's wharf. Some men were discharging ballast from her. He told the men, as well as the defendant, that they acted contrary to the rules of the harbour. The latter said that be had been misguided by the men. They left off for a slicrt time, but afterwards dis- charged the ballast on a spot of ground near the place, which was equally objectionable to the firsi plllce.-The defenda t said thtt he was a stranger in the port, aud had been told by the bubblers that tbey had discharged ballast in that particular place on former occasions. He also blamed Mr. Hall, who he con- tended had not shown sufficient cort\y" towards liiui, but made hintse)f)ike "Lord High Admiral of the port," and to'd him (defendant), that he should be tummoned.&c. The description git en by the defendant of Mr. Hall's conduct being so different from that gentleman's known disposition excited considerable laughter.—Mr. Hall said that offences against the rules of the harbour similar to that with which the defendant was charged, were of such frequent occurrence, as to render it necessary to get the parties summoned, in order to pat an end to such practices. Many masters of vessels, who accidentally caine into the port, frequently discharged their ballast in places the most convenient to themselves, quite regardless of the rules and regulations of the port, or of Ihe inconvenience other parties might thereby be subjected to.Dr. Hewson said, that the defendant had com. mitted an offence, though not an aggravated one but he thought he had taken a very had way of defending himself by speaking in the manner be did of Mr. Hall, who had always most credit- ably performed bis duties, and in a manner not calculated to give any" one offence.— Defendant was then fined in tbe mitigated penalty of 10s. including costs.—Defendant thought it very hard that money should be hauled out of a person's pocket in that manner." (A laogb). He hoped "it would be put in tbe Ga- sette."—Dr. Hewson said, he also hoped the decision of ihe Bench would be published, as it miirbt serve as a warning to others, and deter ibem from committing similar offences. David Jones, residing in St. Mary-street; was charged with having assaulted a boy. named Thomas Davies. II appeared that the complainant was playiug near detendant's house with two other boys, who commenced fighting. The latter desired the bots to leave. which two of tbem did, but the complainant remained, and was seized by the hair and thrown down by the defeudant.—The defendant said that lie was subject to constant annoyances from bovs who played near his window. He was fined 0d. and costs. -John Harris, seaman, was charged by Mr. Morgan, relieving- ofllctlr, with deserting his family, and leaving them chargeable to the parish. The arrears due were upwards, of ten ponnds, towards the liquidation of which thp. defendant promised to pay 21., and to maintain his family for the future.—After the trans- action of some parish business, the Magistrates rose.

THe THEATRE.—A Correspondent, upon whose cor- rect judgment we can rely, has favoured us with the following remarks upon the performance at our Theatre on Friday evening last 011 Fiiday last, Mr. Yonnite took his benefit at this establishment, and we were pleased, notwithstanding the drilw- back of the ball on this night at the Assembly-rooms, to see the house present a tolerably numerous auditory there is little doubt that had this, together with one or two other contretemps, not occurred, there would have been an attendance more commensurate with the merits of this artiste, particularly as the programme contained two announcements moie than commonly interesting, viz., incidents of two well-known places of public resort in Swansea (dramatized by Mr Younge), and the performance of the third Act of Hamlet, the principal part being undertaken by the Gentleman Amateur who recently appeared ns '• Rasbleigh Osbaldistone in Rult Roy. We shall only say of the scenes in Swansea, that there were some humorous positions, with much laughable dialogue and wert-ie conceit, the good taste of the author having made him carefully guard against anything like individual identifications.-—I" speaking of the personation of Hamlet, by an Amaleut, we must not be guided in our criticisms by tbe common standard of professional rule, but should exercise a large spirit of indulgence in expressing our opinions of this, one of the most arduous of histrionic attempts. From the finished, and we will say, classical style in which this Gentleman acquitted himself, on his debut in Rasbleigh," we certainly expected an effect much beyond that usoally witnessed in a first attempt of Hamlet Although in some respects we were not disappointed, we must in candour state, that the character was not sustained with that dignity which we know this Gentleman's natural gifts of person and voice mast, in such a high degree, be capable of producing; however, he improved perceptibly as be approached the termination of his task, and the play scene, we have no hesitation in pro- nouncing, to have been as finely conceived as it was boldly and skilfully executed. If this Gentleman will permit us to convey a word of advice, he should not depart from his natural key of voice, which is full and sonorous, to a higher one, this deviation was certainty his greatest defect on the occasion we are describing." SUPERIORITY OF WELSHCOALFOR STEAM NA VIGATION. -The coal specially selected for the use of the Victoria and Albert roval steion-yiiebt during her Majesty's voyage was the Llangennech coal, which has been known for many years to the officers of the dock-yard and there also seems to be abundant evidence from other authorities that this is the best steam naviga- tion coal. Tbe selection has, therefore, been wisely nmde, aud shows the oare which has been extended lo every part of ihe equipment, though not in'some'Alher.respects-equaUy fortunate in the results ak in I lie. choice of dial. The absence of smoke in the combustion makes it peculiarly fit for such a service as a pleasure vovageof her Majesty. Cargoes havealso bee" seDtlo Sbeerness, Portsmouth, and Plymouth, to be stored for the steamer's use. In the experiment") trial which was made at the Woolwich Dock- yard previously to this decision, we have been intormed that the result was, that lib. of tbill coal evaporated 9lbs. 22 7 oz. of water. The Royal Mail Steam Company have also used it in some of their vessels with much sucoess and why they hsve not employed it more largely seems to require explanation, particu- larly as the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Company and the Paoific Steam Company have found its employment advantageous. We believe that those otScers of Ihe Bast India Company who have most studied tbo subjetst entertain the same opinion as the Government oiffcers, that tbis is the best steam navigation coal. Certain il is, that, however great may he the merit of this coal, ibis special choice of it for her Majesty's voyage gives it an importance which no other circumstance could have conferred upon it.—Railway Magasine.
