LONDON, OCT. 17. The Moniteur of Sunday publishes telegraphic dis- patches from the Perpiejnan of the 12th inst., and Bayonne of the 15th. From a letter we learn that Almeira submitted on the 5th. Granada was tranquil on the 6th. The negociations for the surrender of Sara- gossa wf-re still proceeding on the 81i). From Barce- ]ona we gather, from the dispatches from Perpignan, that on the 9th instant, all foreigners were invited by the Junta to quit the city, and that on the 1 Oth the French effected their embarkation without accident, the Junta allowing them only a delay of twenty hours. The Consul had taken up his residence at the Barce- lonpft,). On that day the batteries of the insurgents, as well as those of the government, fired the usual salute in honour of the Queen's birthday. Martell had been closely pursued by the troops, and had surrendered at discretion to the commandant of Tortosa. The ad- vanced guard, at the ga'e of France, at Girona, had deserted to Genera! Prim. The Debuts recounts the details of Prim's unsuccessful attack on Girona. The escalade of the strong fort of Mountjoy, which forms the chief protection of the city, appears to have been attempted in a most bungling snd unmilitary style. Prim's failure does not appear to have weakened his position. He still occupieslhe heights. The steamer, Caledonia, Capt. LOlt, has just arrived, with the first October mails, from Canada and the United States. She sailed from Halifax on the 4th inst., and brings Boston papers to the 1st inst., and New York, to the 30tn ult. Very rough weather had prevailed throughout the whole of her passage. She brines upwards of forty passengers. Although the accounts brought by this arrival are nine days later than those previously received, scarcely anything worthy of note appears to have occurred. The Canadian Legislature was to assemble at Kingston on the 28ih, but as the latest dates from that city extend only to the morning of that day, no accounts of it are received. As regards commercial matters trade continued to improve. The accounts of the Cotton crop are still unaccountably conflicting.- Mr., Macready had appeared at the Park Theatre, in New York, on the 25th ult., as Macbeth he was very well received. THE REPEAL CRISIS.—The city of Dublin, and the county generally, remain perfectly tranquil, and with- out any seeming chance of the peace being shortly dis- turbed. O'Connell's position becomes hourly more perplexing. and even among the most zealous of his followers the one invariable inquiry is as to how he is to go on with the agitation, and what course be will next pursue. The agitator gives no reply, and we re- main in the same state of darkness in reference to any statement from O'Connell himself. It is not at all sur- prising that the state of inaction into which he has been forced should have produced anxiety and fears in the unfortunate people who have been seduced by his art- ful unmeaning promises of revolutionary change in the Constitution of the country but it seems somewhat strange that he should have gone thus far withotit mark- ing out some more systematic course of proceeding for the extremity in which he is now placed. It is evident lie has been taken by surprise, and seeing, as he does, the bold front put upon the matter by the government authorities, he is in a regular strait, and he knows not which way to turn.—Standard. POLICE FOR WALES.—Yesterday (Tuesday) another division of the metropolitan police left London for Wales, to assist the magistracy in their present Rebeccaite duties. The men were all supplied with handcuffs; and such was the number necessary for the officers to take with them, that a large quantity of new ones were furnished for Lon- don. On Monday last not less than 68 yoong men, from the ages of 20 to 30, were sworn in as police constables at Scotland-yard. At present the duty of what is called the crack A division is done by other officers of the metropolitan force, those of the A force having been sent off to Wales. On the 19th inst. several more London officers are to be despatched to Wales, there to remain, and act as a Welsh constabulary force.-S..a..

'PHIS delicious and wholesome beverage, so highly I recommended by the Faculty as a valuable Specifio incases of Flatulency, Spasms, &c., and patronised by the Nobility and Gentry, is composed of Jamaica Green Ginger, Raisins of the Sun, Citrons, and Seville Oranges;—one of the most useful and p)ea"ant cordfats extant, it has long been deservedly popalar throughout the kingdom; and though the price is a trifle higher than whit is commonly sold for Ginger Wine,' the superior I richness of the ingredients renders it impossible to charge a lower price. CA TIT I ON.-The extensive demand for STIVENS' GINGER WINE I has induced some Dealers in Sweets to imitate the labels, and in many instances to refill the empty bottles with the labels On. To check such deception, the present bottles are labelled in blue letter, and each envelope over the cork st3mped Stivens, Bristol. To imitate this is forgery. N.B.

Another General Meeting of the friends of the Nitzlif Asylum was called tor Tuesday last, the 17th instant, the foimer meeting, a foi might pretionstv, liming only been attended by three gentlemen, when, we understand (foronr Reporter was at the time engaged in taking titikiiite- of the proceedings at the Quarter Sessions), John Hent v Vivinn, Esq., M.P., was in the chair, and some resolutions proposed by the Hev. Dr. H ewson, and seconded hyT. Ediv. Thomas, Esq., were passed, expressive of the conviction of the Meet- ing that the institution was in every way deserving of public support, and particularly as an adjullci 10 the Poor-house. It was stated by Mr. Vivian, that since the Asylum had been closed, there had been evety night at the Poor-house an average of seven poor persons admitted lor relief thei e, and in one instance fifteen, more than was usual while the Night Asylum was in existence. In consequence, however, ot most 01 the gentlemen present at this meeting, being anxious to attend their duties at the Sessions, it was decided to call another meeting of tbe inhabitants for Monday nexl.-(See Adrertisement).- We therefore earnestly call upon all per- sons who feel an interest in promoting an institution so beneficial to great numbers of the pour working classes, to attend this meetitig, and give their sanction and aid to the revival and continuance of tbe Night Asylum. A compara- tively small annual sum is only required to support it, and five shillings a-yearfrom the inhabitants in a few ollly of our principal streets, would be sufficient, whilst it would reduce the rates to almost the full extent of its expenditure. The Rev. John Griffith, B.A., sometime Scholar of Clnist College, Cambridge, and formerly pupil and nephew of the late Rev. E.

Ou Monday, Sergeant Bennett, of the Swansea police, in consequence of information received, proceeded to the warehouse of Mr. John Beynon, ironmonger, of this to<*n, where he fonnd 4 cwt. and 1 qr. of gunpowder, being 2 cwt. and 1 qr. more than the Act of Parliament allows to be kept in any private room, in or within a certain distance of any town. The officer seized the latter quantity. Mr. Beynon has thm rendered himselfliable to a penalty not exceeding 251. The case is to come before the Magistrates in a few days. The first report of the Llandilo Mechanics' Institu- tion has just been published and circulated. We learn from it. that lectures have been gratuitously delivered, books pre- scnied, and loans of geological specimens have been made for the illustration of British strata. The Institution is countenanced and supported bv, amongst others, the Lord Bishop of St. David's, the High Sheriff for the County, and tlie Chairman of the Quarter Sessions, and although its use- fulness lias been in some degree temporarily impeded by the excitement of the Rebeccaites, it bid. fair to realize the wishes of its friends and supporters. Mr. W M. Davis, of Cardiff, ha9 been gazetted as Consul for that Port to the King of Hanover. Among the individuals who have subscribed to the fund now raising for the education of the poor in tlje princi- ples of the Christian relieion, are the following connected with this county Tbe Marquess of Bute 1001.; the Right Hon.

To John Edwards, of Coedgaiu he has given 300 cart-loads. The other tenants have received as much lime as they were able 10 carry in the season. Mr. Philipps has now promised to keep the limekiln in full operation for their exclusive benefit for two months longer. It wcnld be desirable if other gen- tlemen were to follow his example.— Welshman. Her Majesty has been pleased to appoint T.

An inquest was held on the body on Thursday, before C. Collins, Esq., wben a veidict of F^ood drowned" was reloroed.. NEATH — A Mechanics' Institution was formed in this town on Tuesday se'nniglit. The Meeting which was held for the purpose, at the Townhall, was attended by a great number of the most influential gentlemen of the town and neighbourhood, Dr. Leyson, the late Mayor, presiding. The mechanics of Neath are, we understand, principally indebted to the exertions of Wm. Jevous, Esg. and the Rev. D. Jeffreys, Curate of the parish, for the formation of this laudable institution, the former of whom has presented to the society forty volumes of vaiions useful books, and both have kindly undertaken to teach the classes, which are to meet on Tuesday and Friday nights. Many of the tradesmen of the town have also agreed to close their shops at eight o'clock in the evening, so to afford the young mep engaged by them an opportunity of attending. the institution has our best wishes for its success. ARHEST AND COMMITTAl. OF ONE OF THP. PRINCIPAL REBECCA LEADERS or CARMARTHjENgH'KE.—Ou Mottday last, Jones, the Llandovery Police-officer, accompanied by four of the Metropolitan Police, arrested one of the principal leaders of the Rebecca gang, named John Jones, a fanner, residing at Danvgarn, near Llangadock. He was taken into custody under a warrant granted by David Jolies Lewil and Lewis Lewis, Esqs., for sending a letter to Mr,. Thomas Williams, auctioneer, threatening to deprive him ojf his life, nnless he gave up the title deeds of a small farm he had purchased of John Jones. Amongst other threats which this letter, signed Rebecca," contained, one was, that, unless her demand was peiemptorily obeyed, Mr. Williams should he dealt with much worse Than she had dealt with the Rev. Mr. Jones, ot Llansadwrn, and warning him to prepare a place for bis soul, as she would take care of his body. As the evidence, which was very clear against John Jones, will soon he before the public, we need not enter inio any par- ticulars, furthtr than to state that he was on the following day, at Llandovery, fully committed to lake his trial at tbe next gaol delivery. He was afterwards sent in custody of the police, and accompanied by an escort of Dragoons, to Carmarthen gaol. Jones is the seventh person connected with Rebeccaism that bas been committed by the Magis- trates at Llandovery within the last fortnight, and the activity displayed in the capture of these misguided men, has caused a complete revulsion of pnblic feeling. Becca's vengeance is no longer dreaded, and the. farmers are often heard to express the old adage, that "etil doings have wretched endings." FT'RTHT'R COMMITTALS. —On Tuesday evening-, IsaflC and Daniel Muinwaring, were committed 10 Carmarthen gaol, for having broken into the dwelling-house of Mary Rees; called Plasypont, in the parish of Llanilebie, and also with a liot, and demolishing the bouse and furniture, on the night of the 27ih ult.-On Thursday, two other per- sons, cbaiged with being concerned in the same riot. were apprehended by two of the London Police, and were com- mitted for trial. DESTRUCTION OF THE BLACKPOOL WF.IR. — On Salur- tnrday night last, a body of upwards of 100 men assembled near Blackpool Weir, on the river Cieddy, armed with crow- bars, pickaxes, and guns, and having their faces blackened. They first of all knocked up the man who looks after the weir for the proptietor, the Baron lie Rutzen, and demanded the bars used for raiding the flood-gates having obtained which, and cautioned the man and his family to make no noi»e, and t:o to bed, tney commenced the work ot destnlc- tion. The weir was veiy strongly built, and great difficulty must have been found in demolisliing it however, the diffi- culty was overcome, and the weir destroyed before the morning. It is supposed that some of the persons engaged in this outrage lia.1 come from a distance of seven or eight miles for the purpose, as small groups of men, carrying bars, pickaxes, &c., wt-re seen to pass through the pari-h of Llan- dissilo, five miles off, towards Blackpool on Saturday evening. PLOUGHING MATCH. —A grand Ploughing Match, under the patronage of the Cardiff Farmers' Club, came off oil Saturday last, in two larg? fields on the Splott farm, where 2G ploughs started for the prizes. The chief prize was awarded to a farm servant of.). Bruce Pryce, Esq., of Duffryn, who bore otf the laurels .last year, and the whole (allows were declared to be the best ever witnessed ill this county on any similar occasion. On Tuesday last, during a strong sale of wind, the brig Ebenezer, of Newport, Monmouthshire, Price, master, coal laden, bound to Liverpool, was driven on shore about noon, at Trevine, about ten miles from FUhguard, with loss of rudder and sails, and it is much feared she "ill become a total wreck. One of the crew was drowned.—The Corres- pondent at Fishguard, who favoured us with the above unfortunate occurrence, observes,—" We were yesterday (Tuesday) visited with a most awful gale, and I am fearful we shall hear of great loss of life and properly on this coast, as there is no alternative but to run ashore, as there is no harbonr of .ef"lre on the coast, but with a comparative small sum, a breakwater would be made here, which would be the saving of much life and property, this being the only harbour on the coast, with the exception of Milford, which a vessel cannot gain should the wind be north, not being able to weather the islands." The following Memorial front the Merchants, Trades- men, and Professionat Men of the town of Llanelly, was presented, by a Deputation, to the Messrs. Chambers, of that town, on Saturday last To Willium Chambers and William Chambers, Jun., Esquires, Lluitelly House. The respectful Memorial of Ihe Merchants. Tradesmen, and Professional Men, of the Town of Llanelly, SltKWETII,— That your Memorialists deeply regret the outrage* and tumults that have liitelv disgraced the hitherto quiet and peaceable County of Carmarthen.

That vour MeuiorHlists have heard with pain that, on account of these things, the Llanebv Moase Establishment is to he broken up, and thnt it is the inientiun of itie Family to reside perma- lienlI > in England That, while your Memorialists greatly deplore the destruction of tour property, and beill" siiti-,iied thai it couid only have been efiected bv a few desperate characters, much against the feeling 01 tue respective neighbourhoods wiiere it occ urred, they respect- fully submit, that the population in general should not be so re- garaeii us to induce you to le-ne a Town so essentially benefitted aiulI material!y improved hy .\our residence. i uat when '"111' Metnr-rialisis 1I,s avow their respect for the LlalJelly liouse Family, and acknowledge most gratefully the advantage.* have resulted, directly and indirectly, to the Town, from our residence of fifteen years amongst them, they can no less than express their most ardent wish ior the continu- ance ol vosii resideuce in the place, and their earnest hope, that nothing but death shall be allowed 10 sever your connection vvith it,— that the working people around you may hate the means of subsistence, the institutions of the place be sustained bv vour patronage, the tradesmen of the place be encouraged with your support, and the poor, as heretolore, be liberally relieved by the benign hand of Mrs. William Chambers. We are. Gentlemen, most respectfully, yours, Llanelly, Oct. 14, 1843. [Here come the Signatures ] On reference to au advertisement in another column, it will he seen, that Mr. Saver, of the Bush Inn, intends to provide an Ordinary for the accommodation of strangers who may he nttracted hence, to witness the interesting ceremony of consecrating the new Church in this town, on Thursday next. ESCAPE OF A CONVICT.—William Radford. who was tried and convicted at our Quarter Sessions, and sentenced to eight months hard labour in Cardiff gaol, escaped from the prison van on Thursday morning, when nearGreenhill gate, in this town, when on its way to Cardiff. INQUEST.—On Saturday last, an inquest was held at Prospect-place, Llanelly, before William Bonville, Esq., Coroner, on the body of Elizabeth Da*ies,a little girl about two years and a half old, who met her death while her mother had gone into the garden, a short distance oBT, and had been absent but a very short iiiiie. The poor little innocent must have gone, in the motber't absence, too near the fire, and her clothes becoming ignited. her face and mouth were very much burnt.—Verdidl accordingly. AWFULLY-SUDDEN DEATH.—An inquest was held, on Monday last, at Fishguard, Lower Town, before Jas. Bowen, Esq., on the body of Mrs, Lamb, wife of Mr. Thos. Lamb, draper. From evidence produced, it appears she was on her way to chapel, oil Sunday evening, when on passing the bridge, she suddenly fell, and immediately expired.—The jury ret in ned a verdict, I- Died by the visitation of God." The deceased was much respected, and her sadden death has caused quite a glooiu over the place. F)Rh.—About half-past one o'clock on Wednesday morning last an alarming fire broke out on the premises of Mr. Roger Davies, grocer and tallow chandler, High-Street, Cardiff, by which the whole of the back part of the house, consisting of warehouses and candle-room were entirely de- stroyed.—The town fire-engine was soon on the spot, and after great exertions on the part of the public, assisted by a part of the 73d Regiment stationed at Cardiff, and'a great number of the inhabitants, among whom were the Rev. T. Stacey and C. Campbell, the tire was got under about half-past four o'clock.—The wind being moderate, the fire was confined to the above premisea, otherwise the extent of damage must have been very great, as the adjoining houses consist of a druggist and cabinet-mailers premises. The premises were insured, but the stock, tallow-shops, &c., to the extent, it is said, of 6001. we regret to say was not in. sured. ROBBERIES.- On the night of Friday, the 13th inst., the house of Mr. Joseph, of Gadlys Mill, in the parish of Llangynwyd, in this county., was broken loin and plundered. The thieves decamped with a large quantity of various eatahles, Sec., after stripping the pantry of a great deal of earthenware, part of which was Found in the millpond, under the water wheel, and m an adjacent plantation. We hear that Mr. Joseph has since purchased tire arms for his protection, which teminds ns of the adage of shutting the stable door when the steed ts stole^u.Not tuanv days anterior to the robbery at Gadlys Mill, the garden of the Rev. R. Penderel Llewelyn, was visited by some miscreants, who stole thence rather more than ttie TITHE of his vegetables.—The petty thefts nightly committed in this parish are most disgraceful ;—iu; consequence of which, most of the farmers have given over rearing or keeping poultry, as whole flocks are often swept away in the same night. Where are the policer for we hear such a body exists, as we are called upon to pay a rate, termed the police-rate. NEATH PETTY SESSIONS ^Friday.—Before F. Fred- ricks and Howel Gwyn Esqs.—David Poley was charged by Thomas Lloyd with having committed a most cowardly assault npon his person, by severely striking him oh the nose. The case was proved, but,it did not appear that the complainant had received any material injury, and the defendant was only ordered to pay the costs, a mo tinting to 6s. Paid.—There was no other case disposed of. THKATRE.T—This intellectinvl^and rational place of, imnsfment cto»c«l for jIIe seaSon^n Monday last, for the benefit efoor Bpithed JeMee, Mtt J. R. Newcombe, who re. ceived on his entrance a most Cordial reception from a nu- merous and elegant audience, which most have been ez- trenfely gratifying to him, proving the estimation he i». held in by all classes -The performances gave the greatest satisfaction, Menrs. Newcouihe, Woiilds, Bennett, Conway, and Miss Saker exerted themselves to the utmost to produce a good farewell impression, and were rewarded by the all. dience accordingly. At the end of the second piece, Mr. Newcombe presented himself before the cllrtain, and in an easy and geBtleinanly manner, delivered the following ad- dress:— Of Ladll", IIDd GeollemeD,-At the close or this, the fourth season, riorhig wbich I have bud the bouonr of eondnctiotr the niinageiiieni of this Theatre, I would entreat yonrkioel altrniioii for a few moments, to one or two observations, which I feet called upon 10 offer.

It is for them—il '» tor you, ladies and gentlemen, lo determine whether the manner in whith I have tonfiucled thil Thealle bas, or has not, been such as to deserve success; but Ilbiilk that I may venture to assert, and without any risk of being charged with ego'ism, lhal in no Theatre "nl of London have the several novelties wiiirh < hitft brought forward, with respect to their general completeness, been nlOre efficiently produced; while the merits of the several tocmbfn "f the company, it would be superfluous iu 10 IItherl to, seeing that they bne been so frequently and enthusiastically stamped with the sesij of yonr approbation.

,-IMPORTANT MEETING AT LLANBOIDY.
IMPORTANT MEETING AT LLANBOIDY. A Meeting was held at Llanboidy, Carmarthenshire, on Monday, the 16th inst., pursuant to public notice, to take into consideration the reply of the Whitiand Trustees to the petition presented to them, praying the Abolition of certain Gates, and the Reduction of certain Tolls on the Whitland Trust roads W. R. H. Powell, Esq., of Maesgwytine, in the Chair. The CHAIRMAN commenced the proceedings bv reading the notice calling the meeting, and briefly stated the object for which they met—that he bad been deputed by the Trustees to apply to all the T.illyholders, to ascertain whether they would consent to such an abatement of their claim as would justify the Trustees in making the whole or pari of the alterations or reductions asked lor-I hat he had received several answers, and, in most cases, the Tally holders had consemed to give up the whole ot their tallies, lie was a large shareholder himself (:!1ül,), ¡.wd if by giving his claim, with oihers, would enable tile Trustees to grant the public such a reiiuciion of tolls, and the entire removal of the two gales ^Tievuchan and Ludchurcb) which seemed to press more than any others on the farmers, he would most wiilin.r! v sacrifice the "bole of his 1a!!ies. Several talh holders present consented lo do the same, piovided the two gates were abolished, and lime, culm and farm manure exempled from loll al all the other gales on the W hi!land Trust, which seemed to be the condition on which the tailyholders had consented 10 give up their tallies. The first resolution was fuoved by Mr. NN M. EVANS, Maencuch, and seconded bv Mr. JAMES, of OnTren— That this meeting receives with tratitinie, the kind and courteous answer of the Trustees of the Whiiland Trust, to the resolution forwarded lo them at their meeting, held on the Usth September l ist." Mr. j A M KS responded to this. The secolld resolution was m-ned by Mr. LEWIS, of Gilfach, and seconded by Mr. JOHN JAMI'.S, of Lowmead- "That the Chairman be plea«ed lo cnn "ey 10 the Trustees tlw fiitn and nnanninious COllviction of Ihi. meeting, lhal tlie discontinuing of the Trevnchan and Ludchnn h gales, and the giving of lune, calin, and all farm manure tree of lolls, mil the reduction of tolls on horses, to whallhey originally wele, on ihe whole 01 Ille \Vhilhurl Tiu»l, will be otgthe gieatesi advantage 10 both proprietors alld occupiers of land and that the Trustees present be requested 10 support the resolution at the j meeting of the Trustees, lo be held on the 'itilli inst." Mr. JOHN JAMES spoke on the advantages thnt would result from the discontinuance of those gates, and the reduction or tolls. The third resolution was moved br the JOHN EVANS, of Hebron, and seconded by the Rev, WILLIAM DAVIES, of Rhyd- y-ceised- ThaI this meeting contemplates with extreme regret, the lawless outrages that have been committed in several parts of the country, and all present ptedge themselves 10 use every endeavour 10 ensure obedience to the laws, having the fullest confidence in the praiseworthy exertions of Ihe Magistrates of the district, both to remove every grievance, and to promote the general welfare of the neighbourhood." Mr. EVANS, of Hebron, took up this resolution in a most feeling manner, and made all impressive appeal to those present, 011 the blessings of peace, and the duty devolving on all to promote it. Mr. DAVIES also responded to this The fourth resolution was moved by Mr. JAMES ROGERS, of SK Clears, and seconded by Mr. Wiw. GEORGE, of Lan— "That this meeting declaies its devoted loyally to the Person and lllrone of hpr Majesty Queen Vicloiia, aud its determination to uphold Inviolate all the Prerogative* of the Crown." The mover of thist-resolutioa said,, th$t allbno-gh he was not aware until a few minutes before, that a resolution was to be en. trusted to bim at the sume tiipe he could not allow the oppor- lonity to pass without declaring his full concurrence in every word contained in the resolution. He was sincerely attached to his country and to the mild government under wbioh he had the honour to live that the laws of this country were framed to meet the wants of all, and although there may be sometimes a difficulty in carrying them out, at the same time, he ihooght there was a strong desire manifested by those who had the administration or the laws, to do so with impartiality that the outrages committed in this couutv, under the shade of night, were a disgrace to the country in which they lived that be thonght a meeting uf description would have a much belter tendency than any of those illegal nightly meetings could possibly have, and whatever grievances they had to complain of, let them be stated fairly and openly, and no doubt they would be listened to wilb attenlion by those who had the power to redress them. Tbis resolution was passed wilh three hearty cheers. The fifth resolution was moved by the Rev. R. B. JONES, of Killaemanllwyd, and seconded by Mr.THos. Lt.WIS, of GilfRCb-- That this meeting "eRs to acknowledi<a in the wannest mvnuer, their heartfelt obligations to W. R. H. Powell, Bsq., the Rev. John Evans, and those Magistrates who "h"pp,ovetl of the establishment of a Rural Police, for the sound discretion tbey exhibited; inasmuch as litis meet- ing is fully assured lhat The enormous additional expense to be occa sioned by the police force will aggravate the distress, which have so (jreatly contributed to the present unhappy disturbance! The Rev. Mr. JONES spoke at some length on this resolution, pointing out the inefficiency of such a force to answer the pur- poses intended, and eulogised the conduot of the Magistrates, who had taken a more enlightened view of the state of the country and the means to be ased to suppress the outrages, and gave the resolution his hearty concurrence. The sixth resolution was moved by Mr. JOHN JAMES, of DyfFren. seconded by Mr WM. GRIFFITHS, of Casilet;arrow— Tbal ibis meeting requests ibe Chairman to procure for tbein, from tbe Treasurer, a full and plain statement of Ibe (BMi. paid out of the County Slock toward the support of tbe Rural Police at St Clears, awl what Benlce. weie tendered the county by the said outlay." Mr. JAMES spoke on this resolution. The seventh resolution was moved by Mr. JOHN PHILIPPS, of Kilhernin, seconded by Mr. JAMCS EVANS. ofFron- That this meeting exceedingly regrets the haste exhibited by the Bench of Magistrate* in teference to the appointment of the new potiea in opposition tOlbe general opinion of those wbo from their better ac. quaintance with the real state of the country, and who were best able to form a sound and correct judgment." The Mover and Seconder spoke wilh some warmtb on this resolution. The eighth resolution was moved by Mr. WM. BVANs, of Maiiiooch, and seconded by Mr. GEORGE JAMES- "Tbat tbis meeting, believing that the above most anfortonale mea- sure (referring W 7th resolution) W:sa an error in judgment, relies on the patiiofcism of the Hon. Col. Trevor, as the Vice-Lieutenant of the County, to me tht utmost vigilance and exertion, and to seivte ibe very first opportunity to remove tbe offeutive grievance occasioned by ibe appointment of a Rural Police." Mr. WM. EVANS spoke at some length on Ibis resoloiion, NND said that he did not blame Col. Trevor in the appointment of the police as an act of his own, but that he had suffered himself to be led away by others, and he, therefore, hoped that be wnuld retrace bis stepa. H6 felt satisfied in his own mind that the measofrus adopted were not the best calculated to reatore peaoe and order, and by adding to the already existing buribens of conntt, ttteevi) <<botd be rather aggravated than otherwise. Mr. Evans also said. that be considered the peaceable inhabitants of Llanboidy bf<i beea ill-treated, by haying a number of 4'agormt jr ntt&t»o Londt>n f)J/ire atAtibiied at their qiilfl llttfe vitrage. and T" hoped ibist lb» Magraira(•»*>uvItt take steps to get them removed k- a* soon as possible, as tbere was nothing like riot or disorder, or J anvtbing tending to it, in their locality. Ihe Re*. JOHN EVANS then rose lo explain tbe Whitland Trust accounts. Hit said that at a former meeting, the Trustees ac een requested to furnish for tbe informalion of tbe public, an account of the receipts and expenditure of the Whitland Trwt from the year 1835, when there was a balance of 9111. Is. Tid. in the bands of tbe Treasurer op to the tear 1843. The Clerk In the 1 rnst very readily consented to furnish the aocounls, and they were then presented to the meeting for inspection. Mr. Evans went into the particulars of the acnoantc, and made soinu lengthened comments thereon, explaining the part he had taken as a Trustee, in regard to the. payment of some law bill's and several other matters and having gone over tbe accounts, as far as the limited space of time would permit, he made a most forcible appeal to all present reperting the disturbances that had taken plaoe in this county—(he disgrace it bad brought upon them. and the extreme folly and wickedness of holding nightly meetings pointing out at the same time the duty and responsi- bility of the heads of families over their children and servants, and imprescing upon them tbe necessity of setting proper 81.. amples, and to do all iu their power to the discontinuance of any illegal or unconstitutional act, and that by doinig so be had no doubt thai peace atid good order would once more prevail in our highly-favoured land. A petition was now presented to the meeting for approval* praying that the Trevuchan and Ludc urch gates be removed,, that lime, coal, and all farm manure be free of toll at all the other gates on the Whitlund Trust, and that the tolls on horses, &o be reduced to what they formerly were—which ltelittoo wis approved and signed. After some further remarks, thanks were voted to the Chairman, and the meeting separated.

SrR,Ir was my intention to have ndilrpued yon a week earlier, on the subject of the tefttimnnia) tatett presented to the Worshipful the Chancellor of the Diocese of Llandaft'. Sup- posing I might be anticipated bv some influential resident of yoor county, I deferred doing so. Without further dela." therefore, I beg to suggest to the friends of the recipient of lljose handsome presents, and to tlie subscribers to the testimonial in particular, the propriety of forming a Committee for the purpose of having, at its completion, Ihe Portrait now in the hands of Sir Martin Sliee transferred into these of all engraver abteto du justice to work. I cannot imagine but this would meet, wilh the ready assent of the ttishop, whose munificence would not end with the gift, but would he received as a boon, not only CD the subscribers to the testimonial, but bv a great number ofadatirers oi the cha- raeterof the Reverend Chancellor. WhenttMe. which is to be hoped will not be lor verv many years, shall have gatheied liini lo his fathers, lliose who have known him, aiid especially iboae who have shared his bounty, and listened to the lervenl counsel and prayers of one of the best of the earth, will. I think, derive much pleasure and consolation when they turn to gaze on the print that delineates the features of him who hath done them so much earthlv and heavenly good. And are there not hundreds, ave thousands, who have so profiled ? The writer looks back with grateful reeojlection wben lie received from the hands of the worthy Chancellor the first Hook of Common Pra)er be could ever call his own. Looking at the transaction in a commercial point of view, I cannot help thinking that the v(ieht number or impressions likely to be disposed of, would <ie(d a considerable sum bejnnd the expence of engraving and priutiug, and this sum might be ao- vanlageousl v laid out in furthering one of the many charities ill which the Reverend Genttentan takes so much interest. I remain, Mr. Editor, your obedient servant, Oct. 18 1843. A WELSHMAN IN LONDON.

To the EDITOR of The CAMBRIAN. Merthvr Tvdlil. Oct. 18, 1843. SIR,—The Merthyr Guardian of the 14ili inst. has, I find, authority to stale, that a Mr. T. W. Hill, a barrister has been appointed as Stipendiary Magistrate for the Merthyr Tydfil dis- trict, under the power of the LOCAL Ant of Parliament passed last session for Merthyr and the adjoininv district." 1 will not for one moment question the necessity that mav or may not exist for a functionary of the above kind ^el I think lhat. unless such a functionary is perfectly conversant wi ll ihe >> elsl) loii^ua^e— and I am credibly in'ormed Air. Fl. is not —no step is gained by the appointment, so lar as so large a population of the working classes as Merthyr consists of is concerned, — it will be lully apparent that a Majji^trate so si'ualed must. a* a matter of course, receive a vrtsl deal of evidence through at all times a »erv unsa- tisfactory channel, a sworn interpreter a mode fraught wilh many weighty objections. The principle reason assigned some lew years since', when an objection was raised lo Mr. B-uc.es ap- pointment as Stipendiary Magistrate, lie no! be.ii" a a barrister- at-law, was the fact of his intim,i/e and ptrfect knon I dje oj the Wehh language '■ I l,ilve jet to learn whether a change has taken place since lhat period, thai ihut tchick was then cimsidi-red the best (Iml Just qualification lor the governing the peop'e. should now be not considered at all? The proverbial, conslant, and anxious desire of the Noble Lfid f.ieuieoant of the county to protect and see justice done to the mechanical classes of society, will, I trust, obsene, that the same qualification which placed Mr. Bruce inlo the ."Stipendiary chair should still exist, and is requisite — and by appointing such person to jotern districts and people, wilh which and whom thev are yvell and intimately ac- quainted, would be the most beneficial wav ol preventing meetings called lor the purpose of disclaiming against magistrates, !o- reigners lo them in language and customs, and a paramount step gained in quelling a vast deal of dissatislaction, already loo ap- parent and likely to continue, if a different line of proceeding he not adopted. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, A.
