Wlttimtfiap'* AHtr CDutffeap'* ipoat** LONE ON, Nov. 29. THE ROYAL PROGRESS TO DRAYTON MANOR. YESTERDAY morning the Queen and Prince Albert left Windsor on a visit to Sir R. Peel at Drayton Manor. The morning was peculiarly bright tor the present season of the year. The sun shone forth in full splendour, and the beautiful landscape which expands before the eye of the spectator from the Castle was lighted up in all its varied tints. A more lovely day for the commencement of her Majesty's journey could not have been desiied. It was about five minutes past nine o'clock when her Majesty, ac- companied by Prince Albert, stepped into her carriage, and by this time a considerable number of the inhabitants of Windsor had collected in the precincts of the Castle, and in the streets of Windsor, to witness the departure of the Royal party. The cortege consisted of three travelling car- riages, with outriders in the royal livery. The first car- riage was of the chariot shape, drawn by four horses, and was occupied by the Queen and Prince Albert, who were escorted by a detachment of the Life Gnards, under the command of Lieutenant Bolton. The Royal snite in at- tendance on her Majesty and her illustrious con.-oit fol- lowed in two carriages and four. As the cortege passed rapidly along the road it was everywhere received with manifestations on the part of the assembled crowds of loyalty and attachment. On the Queen's entrance into the different towns and villages the church bells were set ringing a merry peal, and flags in- scribed with loyal mottoes were to be seen waving from a number of windows. Triumphal arches, and galleries filled with ladies added to the gaiety of the scene. It was near eleven o'clock when the Royal party reached the Watford station; the arrangements made to receive her Majesty were on a very handsome scale, considering the shortness of the notice, and the few facilities offered by the place itself. The road by which her Majesty was to approach lies over the bridge that arches the line of rail, and after running parallel with the side of the station a distance of about 100 yards, sweeps round to the left into a very spacious court-yard at the back ot the station. At the opposite end of this court-yard is the point of ingress to the station at the back; and here a very handsome reception chamber was prepared. A lofty and spacious room, or saloon, one side of which was completely thrown open, was very tastefully decorated with crimson cloth, in front at the top formed into handsome drapery, and presenting the appearance of a proscenium. The roof and sides were covered with fluted cloth, pink and white alternately, and the floor was carpeted with crimson of the same material as the upper drapery. Round the sides of this saloon were ranged evergreens of very choice kinds. The whole struc- tnre, when seen from the outside, and with the Royal standard waving from the top, looked at once splendid aud elegant. On alighting at the reception-room, the Queen and the Prince were received by the Directors and Officers of the Company. Her Majesty wore a black velvet pelisse, and an open straw bonnet with black trimmings. Both Her Ma. jesty and the Prince looked remarkably well. Some little time having been occupied in attaching the royal carriages to the special train, the party started about half-past 11, amidst most enthusiastic and prolonged cheering. Wolverton was reached at 21 minntes after twelve o'clock and here Her Majesty had previously signitied1)er intention to alight. A private room had been fitted up (most taste- fully) for Her Majesty's nse, wherein weie placed refresh- ments, provided by Mr. Vantini, the contractor for that department on the principal lines of railway. To this room Her Majesty and the Prince retired together, the members of tbeir suite remaining outside. At thirty-five minutes past twelve o'clock Her Majesty returned to the State carriage, and in five minutes after- wards the train was again in motion. At Roade, as before at every station and the intermediate distances along the line. numbers of persons were congregated at every avail- able point of view, who cheered Her Majesty as she passed along; but as the train went at the rate of 26 miles an hour, it may be supposed that the whole ebullition of loyalty was confined to the concentrated efforts of a few moments. Yet thnngh this necessarily limited the duration, it hy no means affected its intensity. The shorter the time, the more de- termined did the people seem to be to give full expression to tbeir feelings. The approach to Weedon was announced by the sound of martial music, which was heard even above the noise of the engine, and the rumbling thnnder of the train. Weedon being a military station, additional facilities were afforded, and the authorities seized on them to afford her Majesty a brilliant reception—perhaps the most striking on the whole line. A standard waved from the Church-steeple on the right as the train approached the station, ond on the left aalntes were fired from the Barracks. Along the whole length of the station troops (the 64th) lined the road side. As the train came op they presented arms to her Majesty, and the band played the national anthem. Flags with loyal inscriptions.—•'Victoria, England's hope," "God save the Queen, and so on,—waved on either side of the way, and the music of the band met a not inappropriate accompani- ment in the enthusiastic cheering of the inhabitants of the neighbourhood, who, were assembled in multitudes around on the heights, clustering on tbe tops of the buildings, or peeping between the good-natured soldier", as they formed a dense mass behind the ranks. The military were nnder the command of Colonel Stratton. The Royal standard waved from the top of tbe station. Her Majesty remained at Weedon about four minutes, while water was taken in the engine. This lapse of time aflorded ample opportunity to the people and the military to express their loyal satisfaction at her presence among them. The train arrived at the Tamwoitb station at a quarter to three o'clock. Sir Robert Peel was in readiness to receive her Majesty and ber royal Consort, who immediately pro- ceeded, followed by their suite, down the tteps of the station to the cairiages which were there in readiness. Here an escort of the Staffordshire yeomanry were in waiting to escort ber Majesty on to Drayton. Sir Robert Peel accompanied the Royal party on horseback. From Tamworth to Drayton Manor the scene was extremely aptendid. The new line of road from the station to the town, commonly called the Clarence-terrace, was beantifnlly decorated with galleries and festoons of flowers. On the approach to the town the scene was exceediegly beautiful. At a splendid arch at the end of the Clarence-road, the Corporation, through tbe Mayor, according to ancient costom, presented the mace and other insignia of office. They also delivered, in the name of the Corporation, appro- priate addresses, which her Majesty and Prince Albert were graciously pleased to receive.—The ronte to Drayton Manor, distant about three miles from tbe station, was Serformed in less than half an hour. Tbe road through 'Onchill and along to Drayton was thronged with people of all classes, who gave her Majesty a most hearty reception. The royal party arrived at Drayton Manor at a qnarter to four o'clock. We perceive by the Paris Moniteur of Monday, that the French Chambers are convoked for the 27th of next month.—On the above day the French Ministry received a telegraphic dispatch from Madrid, announc- ing the formation of the new Spanish Cabinet, as follows: M. OIOuga, President of the Council and Minister of Foreign Affairs; M. Luzurriaga, Grace and Justice; M., Doinenecq, Interior; M. Caniero, Finance; M. Serrano, War; and M. Friars, Marine. The triumph of M. Olozaga, after the declaration he had made in the Chamber of Deputies, on tbe necessity of taking the Queen out of the hands of any persons who might attempt to exercise influence over her mind. is very significative of the course that he intends to pursue. The Royal authority will now, of necessity, the Qnpen being totally unfit to govern from her tender years, be a mere fiction, and Spain will henceforth be at the mercy of the strongest faction in the Cortes. Altogether, from beginning to end, the revolution against Espartero has been one of senseless nmbition *nd blind folly.—IW. Bresson, the new Ambassador of France in Spain, left Paris for Madrid on Saturday last. The Pasha steamer, arrived yesterday, brings liiebon papers to the 23d, and from Cadiz to the AWth inst.—At Lisbon the greatest tranquility prevailed, and all pros- pects of its being disturbed bad entirely disappeared. The Chambers were occupied with measures to cover tbe deficit of the current financial year, but the remiss- ness of Members caused a frequent failure of Houses —General Yriarte. and the officers and troops who had retreated with him from Spaija into Portugal, after having pursued the strict itinerary marjtedout for them from Ponte de Lima to Braga stepped from the 10th to the 13th inst, at Braga. On the latter day, Yriarte, with several of the Officers in his company set out for Oporto, and shortly afterwards the bulk of the soldiers took the same direction.—On the 15th, Yriarte arrived at Oporto with hie Staff and tbe 250 remaining men. When tbey reached tbe suburbs of that city they rested there until the-Accessary documents could be made out for the literal fji{fiJ<nent of the orders of the Govern- ment. They are to be quartered, it appears in the town. Accounts from Athens of the 10th state that King Otho, by the advice of his Ministers, had called M.A. Mavrocordato and M. Colletti to his Council, and that they woutd henceforth take a part in the general affairs Jff the State. A hundred and fifty deputies had arrived at Athens- The Chambers were to meet about tbe 24th instant. His Majesty is described as taking an active part in the Government of the country. -The Augsburg Gazette states, from Athens, Nov. 6, that the Austrian Government has recognised the new state of things in Greece. The Duke and Duchess of Nemours took leave of the Queen and Prince Albert at Windsor Castle, Monday morning, and proceeded tor Town, where, after attending Mass in the Chapel of the French Ambassador, proceeded with their snite to Woolwich Dockyard, where they were received by Sir F. Collier, Captain Superintendant, Major- General Sir Hew D. Ross, and other Officers, and a Guard of Honour, and embarked on board the L'Archimede, French war Steamer, under the command of Admiral Casv, under a royal salute, aivd proceeded down the river.—The Marquis of Orotpnde, Lord-in-Waiting on the Queen, and Colonel Wylde, Equerry to Prince Albert, atleuded their Royal Highnesses to Woolwich. Mr. Newman, surgeon to the Wells Union, was dis- missed by the Poor-Law Commissioners, for practising homocopathicatty among the poor confided to his care, the Commissioners having previously obtained the opinion of the College of Physicians that a person practising homoeopathy exclusively is altogether nnht to act as a medical officer to aD1 Union. The proprietors of the daily newspapers bave it in contemplation to raise the prices of their papers from 5d. to 6d.-Consideriu, the increased size of their sheets and the enormous expense incurred in procuring intelligence from all parts of the world, and that hourly on the increase, it is only surprising this resolution had not been adopted sooner, as, at the present price, some must gain a loss." DEATH OF Sm GRAHAM MOORP.—We have to an- nounce the death of the above gallant Admiral, at Brook Farm, Cobham, on Friday last, at an advanced age. He was the third son of Dr. Moore, by the daughter of Pro- fessor Simpson, of Glasgow, and brother to Sir John Moore, who fell at Cornnna. Married, in 1812, a daughter of the late Thomas Eden, Esq., niece of the first Lord Auckland, and sister to Lady Brougham. Entered the navy in 1771; and in 1795 assisted at the capture of 10 vessels, laden with naval stores; in 1804 he commanded a squadron of frigates, when he captured four Spanish treasure ships; was after- wards engaged in escorting the royal family of Portugal from Lisbon to Brazil, for which he received the order of Tower and the Swoid became Admiral of the White, Nov. 18-41; was a Lord of the Admiralty from 1816 to 1820 was appoined, 1839, commander-in-chief at Plymouth, in which he was succeeded last year by Admiral Sir Da* id Milne; created a Grand Cross of the Bath, 1836. and Knight Giand Cioss of St. Michael and St. George, 1839.

On Wednesday last, the Rev. William Bruce Knight was duly and canonically installed as Dean of the Cathedral Church of Llandaff, to which dignity he was promoted by the Lord Bishop of the Diocese. The ceremonial was one of more than ordinary interest, and especially as no long interval has elapsed since the gratifying testimonials of esteem and regard from the Laity and Clergy were presented to the Reverend Gentleman at the same place. We under- stand that he will remove to Llandaff from his present resi. dence at Margnni as soon as a house can be prepared for the reception of his family. It is rumoured that the Lord Bishop of Llandaff has refused to sanction the appointment of a Clergyman who cannot read Welsh, to the vicarage of Penmark, Glamor- gansbire, vacant by the death of the Rev. Dr. Casberd. This is as it should be, and it is to be hoped the Dean and Chapter of Gloucester, whose gift it is, will select a truly good and pions Welshman. On Monday se'nnight, our highly-respected towns- man, Mr. William Lowther, was elected to the office of Harbour Master of Neath, vacant by the resignation of Capt. Geo. Thomas, R.N. There were a great number of candidates for the appointment, five of whom were selected by a Committee appointed for the purpose, and submitted to the Harbour Commissioners at thfir Meeting, when the choice fell upon Mr. Lowther. OPENING OF THE NEW CHAPF.L AT CAST«M,A.—This building, which is in the goihic style of architecture, was opened for divine service on the 22d and 23d instant. An immense concourse of the neighbouring population attended on the interesting occasion; and an address of thanks and affectionate gratitude, subcribed by fourteen Ministers of the denomination of Dissenters called Independents, was voted to Mayor Smith, of Castella, for this work of love and bene- volence. The Major is now from home, but the address is to be forthwith forwarded to him. CONSIDERATE LANDLOROS.—At the rent-day of Lord Cawdor, at Carmarthen, on Monday week, the agent in- formed the tenants, that at the next rent-day, there wonld be a reduction made of 20 per cent.—The agent for T. Morris, Esq., of Green Caslie, attended at the Fountain Inn, in the above town, on the same day, to audit the rent account of that gentleman's tenants. No rent was allowed to those tenants who were in arrear, but 10 per cent. was deducted from those tenants who had paid up all arrears. Those who owed but a little had only o.per cent, allowed. On Thursday se'nnight, a Ball for the benefit of the Brecon Infirmary, took place at the Castle Hotel, in that town. A very elegant and distinguished party assembled in the course of the evening, and with the Quadrille Band of Mr. Jones, of Hereford, in attendance, dancing com- menced about half-past ten, and continned almost without interruption through Quadiiiles, Waltzes, Oailopades, and one country dance, till about half-past three in the moiuing. The Lord Lieutenant, we are sorry to learn, was nnable to attend, though a warm supporter and patron of the insti- tution. BRECON COLLFGE CIHJItCH.- We are glad to an- nounce, that we have just been informed that the Church of Christ's College wabout to undergo a repair contracts for that purpose having been entered into, and the keys having on Friday last been delivered up to the tradesmen employed for the work. THE LATE DANtEL JONES ESQ. OF BEAUPRK.—We mentioned a few weeks since that 50001. had been paid to the Trustees of the Cardiff Infirmary, by the executors of the arbove-nained lamented Gentleman. We have now the gratification of staling, that another 1,0001. has also been paid through the same channel, and it is probable that a further payment will be made. In addition of a legacy of 2.0001., Mr. Jones made the Trustees of the Infirmary Residuary Legatees. It ought not to be forgotten, that the Infirmary was bililt by Mr. Jones in his life time. at the cost of 3,550/.—A Tablet has lately been erected in Sr. Hilary Church, to the memory of Mr. Jones, with the following suitable Inscnpllon In Memory of DANIEL JONES, of Benupre, Esquire, Deputy- Lieutenant of the County of Glamorgan, who departed this life on the l9th day of September, 1841, aged 88 years. Endowed wilh a vigorous understanding and an active mind, he exercised his talents in a way highlv honourable to him- self and beneficial to others. His munificent donation to the Cardift Infirmary, of which institution he may be regarded as the founder-tesiify, both the benevolence of his heart. and the judicious cate by which his bounty was directed. The last effort of his tout; and useful life was made cltiofly to declare lo an aged relative, Ihe purpose of his mind, to restore, in the person of the son, the anlli eot patrimony ol their family. That son desires to commemorate tbe generous act. and to word his gratitude by this humble memorial- Blessed are the dead which die in the THE QUEEN D o WAG EH -It is rumoured that her Majesty will take up her residence in the neighbourhood of Bristol during the ensuing summer, and that negotiations for the possession of Asbton Court have been already entered into. DEATH AND DESTITUTION.— An inquest was held on Friday week, at the village of Taylog, Carma, thellshire, on view of the body of William Thomas, a pauper, of the age of 73 years, and who was in receipt of parish relief. The jury and cotoner (George Thomas, Eiq.) investigated the distressing case, and the result was that the jury returned for their verdict that the deceased "died iu consequence of the inclemency ot the weather, and for the want of the com- mon necessaries of life." DKATH BY DROWNING -An inquest was held at the Shoulder of Mutton tavern, in the town of Cardiff, on Mon- day, the 27lb nit., on the liodv of William Meylev, all Irish- man, a sailor 011 board the William, of Waterford, lying in that port. From the etidence adduced, it would appear that the unfortunate deceased had remained in town rather late, and was returning to his vessel, which lay in the Bute Canal, when, it is conceived, that he must have stumbled over a warp, or otherwise accidentally slipped into the water, thereby mee ing his death. Verdict accordingly.— The I emaills of the poor fellow were decently interred in the burying-ground of St. John's Church, and were followed by a large assemblage of his comrades of the ocean, and his cou n try men. It behoves us always to he on our guard when alone we should watch oar thoughts, when in society <mr tongues, and when in our families our tempers. Indeed, upon our properly guarding the last depends in ich of our social happiness and domesticcomfoti, taking care to couuter. act that continued irritability of mind, which is the precursor to ebullitious of passion. But our mental disposition is so intimately connected with our physical condition, that what is frequeutly considered ill-temper or peevishness, is in reality but the result of a derangement of the digestive or other organs of the body, and requires medicinal not mental re- medies. To such we recommend with confidellce Framp- ton's Pill of Health," as being certain in its effects, and gentle in its opeialion. DESTRUCTION or THR MARQUESS of BUTB'B MANSION AT LUTON Hoo.-An Address of Condolence to the most noble the Marquess of Bute, from the inhabitants of Cardiff, in reference to the above calamity, was agreed to at a public meeting convened by a very numeronsly signed requisition to the Mayor, which was immediately complied with, on Monday, the 27th nit., when a large assemblage of the most respectable and influential persons met on the occasion, each appearing to vie with his neighbour in the fulness of sym. pathy for the seeming common loss to all well-wishers of this amiable and beloved Nobleman. A resolution was moved by the Rev. Thomas Stacey (the excellent Minister of St. John's Church, Cardiff), and seconded by William Warson, Esq that the following Address be adopted and presented to the most noble the Marquess of Bute, in reference to the lamentable los.. sustained by his Lordship in the tatedestrne. tion by fire of Luton Hoo, and that such Address be kept open for signatures :— To the Most Honourable John Crichton Sluart, Marqness of Bute and Karl of Dumfries, Baron Cardiff of Cardiff Castle &c. &c., Knight of the Most Honourable Order of the Thistltl. and Lord Lieutenant of the County of Glamorgan. We, the undersigned, inhabitants of tbe Town of Cardift" assembled at a Public Meeting convened by the Mavor, in pur. suance of a puolic requisition, beg leave most respectfully to, ofler to your Lordship the expression of our deep regret, of the destruction by a most calamitous fire of your stately and beautiful Mansion at Luton Hoo, and of oor sincerest sympathy with your Lordship in the lamentable misfortune voli have so sustained. We, ot this place, have too long been witnesses of the benefits that flow fliro(igli a neighbourhood from the residence in it of a Nobleman so qualified and favoured as your Lordship ever is, to promote every good work, not to mourn over an event that must deprive, for a while at least, the inhabitants of another spot, of a continuance ol soch advantages as your presence offers. We look upon this sad occurrence as a double calainitv and be assured, my Lord, that, while we feel for the deprivation of the irihabi' tanls of Luion, nothing of interest that seriously affects you, can be foreign or indifferent to us. Although the destruction was ail but complete, and the loss of property iuunense, yet, while we wouid not presume to suggest such ordinary topics ol consolation as must be familiar lo vonr mind, we cannot but gratelully acknowledge the care of a kind Providence over the lives of men, so that not one or the large assemblage of ready hands which was voluntarily engaged in labouring to arrest the fury of the flames, was seriously injured much less destroyed. We would.also venture to allude to what must be a subject of some ghdness and congratulation to your Lordship, the pre- servaiion of Jour admirable and splendid collection of Pictures the best wotks of some of the grea est masters of modern limes) both in our own and other countries, of your invaluable Library, and of most of the rare specimens of art in your possession, costly and precious in themselves, but valuable above all estimation to your Lordship, from peculiar associations and recollections the most enoblin^ and endearing, in which it is the privilege of few to be permitted to indulge; for bad these not been spared the ruin, their destruction would have been deplored, not as the irre- mediable loss of tour Lordsbip alone. but must have been felt Bit his own loss by every lover and admirer of genius and fine arl. throughout Europe. "Wishing your Lordship every good, a long life in health and happiness, we have the honour to be, my. Lord Your Lordship s faithful and very obedient Servants." The above Address having been unanimously carried and adopted, the Mayor rose, and the chair was occupied by Doctor Moore, when a vote of thanks was given to Henry Morgan, Esq., Mayor of Cardiff, who signed the Address on belialt of the meeting, and then followed in rapid succession a crowded list of signatures of the most respectable and highly influential persons of the town and t)ort.-The Addreso has been forwarded to the Noble Marquess. SWINDLING.—Caution to Tradesmen.-Last week, a person having the appearance of a retired London merchant of about 55 years of age, calling himself Henry Bolton, Esq.* of Capel Dewi House, Carmarthenshire, successfully praeT tised the old trick of purchasing goods of two tradesmen in this town, tendering in payment cheques purpoiting to be drawn by London Honses in his favour, stating them to have been received by that day's post. The cheques in these instances were for 81. lis. 2d. and 61. 6s. 4d. more than the value of the goods purchased for which he requested and obtained the cash, the goods not being required before the 1st of December. His manner was particularly quiet and gentlemanly; he wore tortoiseshell spectacles, with four bine glasses, was blind in one eye, which had an opaque white film, had a crouching walk, apparently arising from partial blindness; he had also a peculiarity in his gait, hit height about 5ft. 9iu. He left Swansea on the 24th nit., for Bristol, per steamer, and the police of that city were pat 00 the qui rite on the following day, though it is to be feared without effect. We understand he was quite a finished hand, doing the thing in a very quiet gentlemanly way, and after the usual course of trade, having a fair knowledge of the goods he enqnired after. f r IRE.—-oome of the out-buildings, the property of Mr. William Davies, of Cwmsaybren, in the parish of Ystrad- y-fodwg, in this county, were destroyed by fire on Saturday night last. It appears that one of the daughters, who had been milking, had left a candle so very near to the cattle, that one of the cows reached the same by some means or other, which caused the straw, which was before them, to catch fire. Before the fire had been discovered, it had got into a general blaze, but with the assistance of several of the inhabitants in the neighbourhood it was fortunately ex- Jtnguished, and the cattle (ten in number) saved without '"jury, excepting two, which were a little singed. About twenty-five tons of good hay was unfortunately destroyed, besides the building. Great praise is due to Mr. Thomas Jenkins, of Tyislia, William Thomas, of Ynysvais, and a few other friends, who acted very courageously upon this occa- sion. Parties ought to be very careful when they enter any ou|-buildings a Candle. Our correspondent tells its that tbe property was not insured. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE.—The brig Monarch, Brown, master, from Liverpool for St. Lucie, has arrived at Milford. She encountered severe weather since sailing. When about half a mile from the entrance of Milford Haven, was struck, by a heavy sea, which carried away bulwarks and stanchions and broke the wheel.-The schooner Venus, Mathews, from Malaga for Glasgow, with fruit, has also arrived at Milford. She was oat during the whole of the recent gales. The one on Sunday night last the master describes as being very terrific; he was off Cape Clear at the time. The Yenu. has sustained no other injury than being little leaky from straining. Off Cape Corroheda, on the coast ot Portugal, passed the wreck of a vessel, the Cape bearing E.S.E., distant 50 miles. She appeared to be about 200 tons, with masts gone, the bowsprit just ont of the water, and the decks flush with the water. Could not communicate-it blowing a gale of wind.—The Don, O'Brien, master, from Quebec for Swansea, with a cargo of timber, has been driven up to Penarth Roads, where she remaius wailing a fair wind. SWANSEA POLICE, FRIDAY. —Before the Mayor.- Thomas Browne, hobbler, was charged with having assaulted John M'Ke»itt, hawker. The complainant stated, that the defendant met him on the Strand, and after a few worda had passed, gave hi in a blow in the face. The defendant was fined in the penally of 10s., including costs. MONDAY.— Two men, who gave their names Miller and Mildum, were charged wilh being rogues and vagabonds. They were db- charged, on promising to leave town.- Dinah Moss, a itirl of the town, was brought np by Policeman Webb, on a charge of having assaulied Anne Rotheroe. The latter n '< seem- ing inclined to press the charge, the parties were dismissed. — WEDNESDAY,before J. Grove, and G. G. Bi d, Esq s.— John Phillips, hobbler, was charged with having violently assaulted Mrs. Gibbins, landlady of the Gloucester Arms, on the Strand. By the statement of complainant, who had received a very severe blow between the eyes, the surrounding parts being quite black and inflamed, it ap- peared that, hearing a noise of the breaking of glass, pipes, and crockery, in the kitchen, she stepped from her room, and found the defendant there, in a state of intoxica- tion, and very upiorious. Having remonstrated with him, she returned to her room. In a short time, the noise was repeated. Mrs. Gibhins again went into the kitchen, and requested the defendant to go out, whereupon the latter rose up, and gave her a most severe blow in the face. What makes the fellow's conduct more das:ardly and re- proachful is the circumstance that for several years past he has almost entirely subsisted on Mrs. Gibbins's bounty. The reprobate was fined in the pen dty of 21. and 3s. 6d. costs, or imprisonment for two months. The money not being forthcoming, he was committed to the House of Cor- rection. NEATH TOWN-HALL, Nov 24th.-Before F. Fred- ricks, Griflith Llewellyn, and F. E. Leach, Esqrs.—Esther Daris, from the parish of Aberavon, was fully commi ted to take her trial at the next Quarter Sessions, charged upon the oaih ol Peter Wright, policeman, with stealing a quantity of coal, the property of the Cwmavon Co. Bail was taken for her appearance.— Robert Dodqon, a well-known character to the police at Neath, was brought up by William Morgan, borough policeman, chaiged with bavin-: stolen, on tbe 22d inst., a sign-board, the property of Jos. Thomas, of the Dyffiyn Arms, in the parish of Ca<tox on-juxta Neath- Luckily for Mr. Dodson, the evidence in this case was not sufficient to convict, therefore he was discharged, after re- ceiving a very suitable caution from the Magistrates.—John Allen, a deserter from the 11th Regiment of Foot, was brought "p by Pvter Wright, No. 3ft. He admitted being guilty of the charge, and he was committed to the Swansea House of Correction, to await further orders. CARDIFF PouCR.—Before Henry Morgan, Esq, Mayor, and C. C. Williams, Esq.— Richard Leyshou, a sad, dler, was summoned for committing an assault upon a lad in the employ of Mr. Lowder, another saddler, and also for breaking a window of the 8i.id Mr. Lowder. Mr. Lowder not pressing the charge, Leysbon was admonished and dis- missed. IÙlward Jenkins, a cabinet-maker, WAS charged by the police with wheeling a heavity toaded burrow on the paved footway, Ihereby obstructing ttte psissage,if passers- by. He was fined 2s. 6d. and costs. — Thomas Williams, a mason, was also fined in the Sdme amount and costs for a similar offence. BRIDGEND Plrrry SESSIOIIls-At these Sessions, held on Saturday last, before the Revs. R. Knight and H. L. Blosse, and R. Ftftnktex. Esq.,— Catherine Oakicell was charged with taking some wood, &c., the properl" of VViliiain Phillips. The affair was settled out of Coot rt.-David Etans was charged with having b oken a pane of class in the window of (he Bear Inn. I: appeared that the defendant and another man, being rather uproarious in the house, Mr. Evans, the landloid, thought proper summarily to eject them. The ejected became rather noisy outside, and endeavoured to force open the door. Failing in their atiemp's to obtain an eniranee, the defendant smashed a pane of glass. He was ordered to pay 2'1. 6<1. for tbe pane of glass, and 13s. Cd. costs.-The defendant in the last case, acting upon the old principle of tit for tat, now become complainant, and charged Mr, Thomas Evans, the landlord of the Bear Inn, and bit two sons, Messrs. Thomas and Robert Evans, with having assaulted him, and unnecessarily turned him out of the house, and called a witness, who, however, did 11:It make out a very good case. Watkin David was then examined, and stated that the complainant behaved himself in a veiy unruly manner, and on Mr. Evans's daughter remonstrating with him, he struck her in the face. The Messrs. Evans seeing this, naturally turned him out of the house. The case was dismisseti, complainant having to pay 8s. 6d.costs.— William Rus was charged with assaulting a tailor named David Davies. The assault was clearly proved, and detendaut was convicted in the penally of 20s., including costs.
