A Special Meeting of the Members of the Town Council, both in their capacities as Councilmen and Paving Commissioners, was held at the Townhall on Tuesday. The following members were present:—The Mayor in the chair; Dr. Bird, Messrs. Grove, Michael, Essery, Dawe. Glover, Williams, Sanders, Aubrey, Vivian, M.P., and Philipps. Previous to entering upon the business of the meeting, Mr. GLOVER begged to correct an erroneous impression which might have been created by an announcement in our last paper to the effect—That the names of some parties who had produced their receipts at the po!! on Wednesday were not entered i:i tlie rate- book. Mr. G. admitted thst the name of a Mr. John Williams, of High-street, had been by accident omitted from the rate book, b'it was sllhsequenliJ found, and the rates paid by him credited in nnother book in Mr. Richard Attwood's possession. Mr. AUSKKY bore testimony to Mr. Atcwood's accuracy and straightforwardness. The MAYOR then read an abstract of THE accounts of the P-ivinj Commissioners and of the Corporation. T!te-N- were very lengthv, and, as observed by th? Mavor, hastily drawn op and probably not quiie accurate. We, therefore, decline p',biisLin:2; anY por- tion of the Commissioners accounts, as a ftill and official state- ment of the vviiole will shortly be published hv order oftlie Council. It appeared thst the income of the Corporation for the year amounted to 43431 while the expenditure was upwards ot 540!)/ the deficiency being principally occasioned by the enormous illw expenses incurred in the unsuccessful defence of the action brought by Mr. H.dl against the Corporation. 'THE NEW PAVING AXD LIGHTING BII.I..—Mr. ACBitr.T then addressed the meeting at considerable length, and introduced a very long discussion upon the above measure. Our space will only admit of an outline of the observation s advanced hy the various speakers. Mr. A. sC'ed that, in consequence of having been deterred from attending the public meeting of ratepayers, lately held at the TnwnhaM, until it had nearly concluded, he was at the time ignorant of what had transpired until subsequently made acquainted with the discussion by means cf the reports in the papers. He expressed his conviction that the bitl had been rejected fror:1 misapprehension on tll., parts of the r-tep»>eis, who. owing to non-acquaintance with the state of the fund*, the genera! business of the Comniissiorers, Kc,, hart erroneously imagined that the hill was unnecessary, an i that by obtaining it the rates would be increased. As the Commissioners had been elected to adopt those measures which they, in their discretion, thought best adapted to promote the interest of the town. and as they must necessarily be better acquainted with the wants and requirements of the borough than the ratepayers, he did not think the bill slrxtld he abandoned in consequence of the late hasty and unsatisfactory decision of a comparatively small body of the ratepayers. It was a generally admitted principle that all property, of whatever description, was rateable. If A. had five houses rented at 201. each, was it fair, was it just, that he should not only pay his own rates, but plso contribute to make up the deficiency occasioned by the non-pax ment of anv. rates bv B. who possessed twenty houses, from which he received 51. each ? It was quite immaterial whether the sl'l't>r.,pr¡( read at the public meeiiti^ by Mr. J.T. Grove was correct or otherwise, though he by no means admitted its correctness. Even admitting that ihe town had a surplus income, the rates world be considerably lessened on those who paid, were propertv now entirely exempt compelled to contribute its fair share towards the public expen- diture. Undoubtedly the owners of property now exempt would nt pay their portion if they could help it, but thev would cer- tiirdy laugh in their sleeves if the Commissioners and ratepayers aliowed them to escape. Mr. A. then alluded to the provisions of the bill for securing the better sewerage and drainage of the town. All persons forming new streets would be compelled [0 construct sewers communicating with the main sewers. The Commissioners were also empowered to manufacture gas and supply water, which woujd protect the ratepayers from ihe high prices arising from the monopolies enjoyed by the p,-ese..l gas and water companies. In Manchester, an income of 18.0001. was produced by tne s;tle of gas. He concluded by moving- "That it is the opinion of this meeting, that it is desirable to obtain a New Act of Parliament, for the belter paving, repairing, and cleansing of the town of S -.vansea, and tor other purposes con- r.ected 11)(.rewith." Mr. 0, G. WILLIAMS seconded the proposition. He li t-I been of opinion that no biti was necessary, but upon more mature coil- sideralion lie was convinced to the contrary. Mr. SANDKRS expressed his disapprobation at the attempt made to get the Commissioners to proceed with the Bill, after the late unequivocal decision on ilie part of the rate-pavers. If, notwithstanding that expression of public opinion, the Bill were proceeded with, it wou'd have been infinitely better never 10 have consulted the rale-payers. Though willing to acquit the ;\Ia\Or of partiality, according to his viaws still h« thought he had acted wrongly in going to the poll. Mucli had been said to dis- prove the acctiiRcy of the statement made by lr. e. It had been procurell from their clerk, arid, if inaccura e, why did tlie Commissioners not disprove it at the meeting. lIlr. S. concluded bv contending, that tiie 58ih section of the existing Act gave tlie Commissioners full poweis lo collect the rates, and the full amount of the assessment might be much nearer arrived at than it was by proper exertion and management in the collection. The only possible way of evading the pavmeat of rates oil small cottages, been fully stated hy Ir. Walters, the solicitor to the proposed Bill, at the late [>ublie meeting, and that was br letting them quarleily. Was it probable that landlords should let their cottages quarterly, when they were not very certain of getting their rents at less periods. He (Mr. S.) had declined pajing the rale a short time ago, on the ground of unfair assessment, but the Comtnissioneis exhibited to hini such a power, that fit subse- quently paid them, to avoid c[}nseqlll"flcs. and he could not con- ceive why others could not be compelled, by the powers of the old Act, to coulribute their fair portion. He begged to dissent from Mr. Aubrey's resolution, which provided thai the Commissioners should send the Bill to Parliament, in opposition to the expressed opinions of the rate-payers of the town. Mr. VIVIAN said that he had attended the lite public meeting as Member for the borough, simply for the pnrpose of ascertaining the opinions of the rate-pavers, and to offer his services in con- ducting the Bill through Parliament, if such were the wish of the rate-pavers. It appeared to him quite illlmalerial, whether the meeting discussed the expediency of procuring a Bill, or entered upon the d:scussion of each separate clause; for if they disap- proved of the various clauses, and negatived them separately, it would be equivalent to negativing the Bill. He hid been very desirous of avoiding a contest, provided t he Bill were taken to Parliament, and he thought it of primary importance for that purpose, that the rate-payers should be mad" parI ies to taking the Bill to Pailiamenl. lie had therefore proposed, at a former meeting of the Commissioners, that the rate-payers should be consulted, previous to incurring the expense of preparing the Bill, or printing the synopsis but the majority present decided to the contrary. Mr. Vivian next adverted to the observations which had appeared, reflecting upon him and other members of the Town Council who attended the late public meeting, for not having ell- tered into the ,f the Bill. He believed that the Town Council were not better acquainted with the details of the Bill, than olher partle who had attended the meeting. It was true that a Committee had been appollllerl, lor the purposes of pre- paring the requisite formal notices, and giiing Mr, Smith in- structions to prepare the Bill, in accordance with the resolution of the Council. The Committee h id sat for two or three hours previous to the meeting, and had read the heads of the new Bill, which contained about clauses. Lie thought they were but ill prepared, in so short a time, to have entered into the details of the Bill, and afford the rate-payers the information required. It Was for the iii%vi) to decide whether they required the Bill or not. If they required it. he, as the Representative of the borough, would be happy to assist in C1.rn lug their wishes into effect, but rather than mess the Bill, contrary 10 the feeling and desire of ihe town, he would much ralher see it dropped. (Cheers). Mr. GROVE concurred in the views expressed by Mr. Vivian, and strongly advocated the publication of the accounts, to the absence of which he attributed the opposition to the new Bill, on the part of the rale-pavers. Dr. BIRD then addressed the meeting, and urged the necessity of obtaining a new Act. He would not advocate proceeding with the Bill contrary lo the wishes of ihe town, which, he contended, was not tlie drift of Mr. Aubre)'s resolution, but it was meiely a reiteration of an opinion repeatedly expressed by the Council— that a Bill was necessary. Dr. Bird spoke nl trreat length upon the inefficiency of the presenl Act, in enabling the Commissioners to maintain pntper sewerage, and preserve the cleanliness of the town which were of the greatest importance, as affecting the sanatory condition of the inhabitants. The late poll was a most unsatisfactory representation of the opinions of the rate-pavers. All the par ies who had polled represented property worth 4100/ while Ihe reti al amounted to 31 0001. Dr. B. then enumerated the different sums voted at various limes by the Toivn Council, lowaids the purp-ises of the town, 10 prove that the Council were ;t I vv,,i s rearly to apply the borough fund for the purposes of ihe town at larye. Mr. GLOVER agreed with Dr. Bird, that something was neces- sary to he done, but he would not go to the extent of supporting the resololioa. Mr. G. th- n read the foiloiving amendment — "That a colilliiltee, consisting of the Mavor, Dr. Bird, Air, Glover, and Mr. Grove, be appointed, to prepare a correct ba- lance-sheel for publication, and an of the increased all. nual expenditure to be incurred, in paving and lighting those portions of the town not at present paved or lighted, in order to show what amount of rate will be necessary for the purposes of the town," — Mr. G. observed, that various observations had been made re- specling'the monopoly erjoyed by the Gas Compauv. Now he would read a statement, which proved that the public at Swansea were supplied with gas at a cheaper rate than in any other town m the Principalis. The price paid for each public .igut iu n»e ail- ferenl towns was as follows :E. s. (I.

To the EDITOR of The C,t IIIIRI, N. .Swansea, Feb. 8, 1844. SIR,—The Editor of the Swansea Journal, in his Ia«T O'initier, hating published an article in rtfercnce to the Uie de cision of the Court of Queen's Bench, in :lie case of tbe Layer- keeper, which is directly at variance with iinilher Report ö;, u> the opinions expressed by the Court, I em induced to request von tvil! publish in your next paper the follow ing verbatim extracts from tlie remarks in ti, e Journal, and of the opinions x pressed by like Court, as reported and published in the Laic Times: — 7'he Sw(m.se(1 Jnurnrtl states, that Lord Denman was clearly of opinion that the appoint ment to that oflic.e was in the Bur- gesses and Tenants of the Leet Court. And that, Their Lordships also con- sidered, that the .Municipal Act did not affect the Leet Court, and that all the powers of ihat Court remained unimpaired. They did not however hold, that the Layerkeeper was the Duke's oliicer, but that he was an ".1.f{icer of the Borough, pre- sented by the Leet Jun, and to be continued in the oftice until the Leet Jury presenied another person, or declined to present any une to the oJfire," tiis Lordship further said, that neither the Mayor nor the Town Conncil had tbe power of discontinuing the appointment, but if there had been a general meeting ol the Burgesses, and they had resolved to the ollice. and also the collec- tion of the Layerkeeper's share of the dues, the case would have come before the Court in a very different form but lhat the resoluliori of the Town Council, of Oct., 1835, was in efleol, not to the office, but to dismiss Hail, and appoint themselves in his place, for the purpose of receiving the fees which might belong to Ins office." It was proposed bv a Mem- ber of the Council, not now in office, that a resolulion should be passed directing the Corpo- ral iun Collector of the Keelage and Ioorae H11es to discon- tinue the collection of the por- tion ol Dues claimed bv the Y\ aler Bailiff and Laver- keeper." The Law Times. By the C,)tlr- I'liere is TIn pretence lor saving that the Laverkeeper is an officer of the Bcrouyh. The case clearly shews that he is an oliicer of the Mavor, chosen by the .Stew- ard irom two persons presented to him for thai purpose by the suitors at the .Manor Court; and although it appears that the practice was for the Chief Oilicer of the Horouah lo he present at the occasion, it is <iuile clear that he h .d no right lo interfere in the election. We are of opinion, tbilt J)r, Hall continued a valid ofiicer by tinue of his appointment, for the oath clearlt shews that the office was not necessarilt an annual office, but that c person once duly appointed was to continue in office until a sub- sequent appointment, or until he 1 trns duly discharged. It certainly was a bold assumption that the oflica was abolished by the Municipal Corporations' Reform Act, when file Swansea Harbour Improvement Act expressly re- cognises its continuance. Still le-s does it lie with the defen- dants to come here and gravely contend that they have abo- lished the office, when they hate been coolly receiving tOe money all the time, and putting it into the Corporation chest. If iudeed they had thought fit to abolish the dues, as well as the fiflice, and admit vessels into the Harbour without pay- ment of Layer dues, they might bave tiad s me show of reason for the course the,- have aiioplfd; but il is quite CLEAR they had no power to do THIS, as the Laverkeeper is not an officer of the Borough at all." I From the report in the Cambrian of tho meeting of the Town Council in October, 1842, tvben the question of tbe Laverkeeper was brought lorward, it appears that Mr. Smith (who I presume is the member not now in office, alluded to bv the Stvaltsea Journal J addressed the Meeting to the following ffect Perhaps it will he well to read the notice thai I have given, That the whole amount of the Moorage and Keelage dues he re- ceived by life CIIIIIlol, and accounted for to the TREASURER OF THb bolt (HIGH. Thai is the notice, aud before I conclude I will propose it to the Meeting, as a substantive proposition. Gentlemen, this q nest ion deeply affects the income of i he Borough. f, therefore, will leave Ihe respective statements of the Journal on the one hand, and of one of the best authorities in legal m«t ers (and which is of course unconnected with local politics) on the ottier, to the perusal and discrimination of the public, without comment. And remain, your obedient servant, A BURGESS.

Corn-laws. Now this course, we think, is manly, and such as becomes a Minister. How does it contrast with that which Sir Robert and the Duke of Wellington took with leference to Catholic Emancipation. What declara- tions did they liot make against that measure, and the policy of conceding ii, and yet at last consented, with a strange unseemingliness, to be the very Ministers tinker whose administration it was granted. Here, however, upon the Corn-laws, Sir Robert qnits his customary line of conduct, and, by a positive declaration, debars himself from acting, according as he says, to circumstances that may aiis" HJ(1 precludes himself from changing his opinions, when lie discovers that the majoi ity of the people are against t'im. The meetings that have been lately held in the districts have no doubt influenced the Premier. The leaders of the agriculturists have spoken out. The Dukes of Buckingham and Richmond stated, on behalf of the agriculturists, that they would not consent to give lip all afom of the protection which the 00 n-iaws new afford them and, consequently, if iWinis- ters ha,1 any idea of altering the present slidin^-scale, either by fixing i', or in any other way diminishing the advantages at present enjoyed under it by the farmers, they must not count up^n the support of the agriculturists and then Representatives. The propriety of consenting to a fined duty has M'late been much talked of, and some men, whose advice is" worth listening to, recommend it as prudent and expedient. They point to the strength of thfi Anti-Co!i-law L^airue, and say, what we admit seems very p oOable, that there are very many influential men now agitating for the repeal of the Corn-laws, who would be perfectly content to accept a fixed duty, and would even prefer it, and that they have enrolled themselves with the League, simply because to them the total repeal was better than the sliding-scaie-in their hearts,however, disking the conduct of the extreme section of the party. This counsel has not been listened to, and trust that those to whom it was given, may not have cause to repent of the determination they have come to, but that there luav still be an amicable adjustment of this question, such as win meet the views of the majority of both parties. 4I.<:J.- His Gracp Duke of Iie;\ufort, K.G., has re- Ce,n!v appointed Francis Philip Hooper, E«q of London, ins Solicitor and Auditor to likewise Steward for the Seii/r; • • I'nwf- and kiivey, which constitutes him a TrSSee of Harbour The Noble Duke has also appointed Sei»tim..s Redhead, Esq., of Swansea, his Col- liefv Viewer to be likewise Agent and Receiver tor the ^hole of his extensive property m tbesa.d Seigniories.

After making a few a efainrv observations upon the character of the present which, in everv point of view, might he considered an ''vanci 1»«■ age—eminently so when compared with past ages-— e kciurer proceeded to define the meaning lie attached 1 'he term '>eople"-a definite, tlmugli a most compre- >*ive term. He did not apply the appellation as it was t(l"eiHlv applied, to operatives alone but all who, in iU-v "'ode', whether by mental or physical exertion, contn- S1'1 to the well-being and elevation of society, were en- to be classed among, and considered as being 0 ic 'P °l^. Tim lecturer then ulanced over different periods ot history, for the purpose of showing the injustice c?H,c'ed upon the people on th» part ot the nou-productng J'*18* In all th^ struggles maintained between the various of the O iaarchv, .he people were very readily X «se of as tools and' inst, nments in the hands of the S^^cv, while, whatever the issue of the stniggles, their ('iiion was not bettered or advanced.

M IIKTH YK-TVDVIL. — On Tuesday last an inquest was held at the Grawen Arms, before G. W. Davies, Esq., and a respectable jury, on the body of Jemina Jones, aged 4 years, who was killed under the following circumstances:—-About a week ago a person named David Davies, with a horse and cart, was hauling the scrapings of the road to a dunghill in Tydvil Well; on his way to the dunghill, the child's father, who was in his shop opposite, saw the child falling, and in- stantly afterwards the wheel of the cart went over her body.— David Davies, on being examined, said, that the deceased and another rhdd were near his horse and, cart when he first saw them, but he warned them off, and that they went, as he believed, out of the way of the horse and cart; that he was standing at the head of the horse, and on the opposite side of the cart to that on which the accident happened.— The Coroner, in addressing the jury, very ably commented on the law relating to death occasioned by the negligence of any person and io this easp it appeared 10 him Il1at tlw canse of death arose principally from the ne^li^enre of the driver, David Davies, in not seeing that a child, of the tender age of the deceased, was more completely out. of the way of danger; and then left it to the jury to say. whether he had not, by his neglect, rendered himself liable to an indictment. The Coroner also spoke at sorue length on the law of deodends, as it applied to the case before them.—The jury retired, and after an absence of about twenty minutes, returned a verdict of u Homicide by misadvertenee," with a deodend of 10s. NEWBIUDGE-i'Pon-TAFF.—On Monday, the 5tli inst., an inquest was held at the New Iun, before L. Reece, Esq., Coroner, and a respectable jury, "0 the body of Thomas Thomas, aged four years, the son of John Thomas, labourer. It appeared from the evidence given, that on Sartrdav morning last, the child's father hein: ill in bed, the mother was obliged to go some distance to receive his wages, leaving the little by in the care of her grown-up daughter. The girl just left the room to fetch a broom to sweep the floor, when, it is supposed, the unfortunate little boy approached too near the fi e, so that his pinafore caught, and became instantly enveloped in flames. The father immediately jumped out of bed, being on the same floor, and endea- voured to extinguish the flumes with his hands, but did not succeed, until Wm. Lewis, mason, who lived next door, hearing the child's screams, ran in, and wrapped his coat round the little fellow. Evan Davies, Esq., surgeon, was instantly in attendance, and applied the usual remedies, but the injuries were so extensive that he expired in the course of the day. A verdict of" Accidental Death" was returned. —The above un'ortunate case should be a caution to patents who have young children always to have a wire-guard placed before their fires.—On Wednesday, the 7th instant, a little girl, ;.ged five years, the daughter of Win. Thomas, carpenter, of Newbridge, fell into the Glamorganshire Canal, and was unfortunately drowned. No person having seen her fall in. it is not known how long she remained in the water. Every means were employed to resuscitate her, but roved unavailing, tit • vital spark having tied. 'I A Stitt IOUs CASH OF STABBING.—The following statement of a serious ca^e of stabbing at Cardiff, we copy from the Cardiff" Advertiser of Saturday last :—" On Mon- d-iy last a rather untoward circumstance occurred at a highly respectable seminary in this town, which at the time threat- ened fatal results, and naturally produced a great degree of excitement. On the evening in question, it appeared that two youths, named Thomas and Phillips, were with other lads seated round the fire in the school-room. Thomas had occasion to leave his seat for a short time, which Phillips in a schoolboy freak took possession of, and on its being de- manded by Thomas anain on his return, he refused to re- linquish it. Thomas thereupon became much excited, and, having an open penknife in his band, threatened to stab PIIIIIJIJS unless he relinquished the seat. Phillips thinking Thomas to be only in jest, in a fit ofschoolhoy bravado, de- fied him, when Thomas unfortunately carried his threat into execution, and stabbed the youth in the abdomen. The poor bov on receiving the blow instinctively pressed his hand to the wound, in consequence of which a portion of the intestines protruded. In this state he was removed to bed, and medical attendance immediately procured, when the intestines were replaced. Surgeons Lewis, Evans,^ and Paine have been, since the unfortunate occurrence, in as- siduotis attendance upon him, and though a fatal result at one period appeared to be imminent, yet by the skilful and unremitting attention of these gentlemen, it is gratifying to state that it is not now apprehended. From the occurence of this unfortunate incident, which no vigilance or. contiol could guard against, no abatement of the order and discipline which eminenily disgnisli this seminary can be for a moment inferred. It must be more justly attributable to the maul- gence of a vicious excitement on the part of a youth, wllicb from this disastrous instance it is so essential to check, parti- cniarly when it arms itself with a deadly weapon. Thomas had been but three days at the school previous to the oc- currence which has rendered his continued exclusion there- from indispensable." HIGHWAY nUBnERY NEAR ABERGAVENNY.—On Mon- day se'nnight, Mr. >iiles Powell, ot the White Lion Inn, Brynmawr, left Abergavenny about eight o'clock, ami turned off at the bridge into a lanelhrollgh the fields, whIch cuts off a considerable angle in the road, and is consequen y much frequented by foot passengers. As he left the own, the wife of the notorious George Long overtook him, and walked bv bis side until they arrived at rather a lonely spot, when her husband, and a man called h HprefIJrtl Jim" came up, and, knocking Mr. Powell down, rifled Ins pockets, robbing him of three sovereigns and some stiver. In the contse of their lawless proceedings, they beat him so brutally, that they left him for dead on the spot; and he is perfect); ignorant of the length of time during which he lay insensible. The woman was speedily appiehended, but the men decamped, and we believe have not yet been taken. EXTRAORDINARY OCCURRENCE.-Onc day last week a fine large salmon was caught in the trap at G,raway Mill, on the river Mono*. This noble fish must have leaped no less than seven weirs before art,v.ng at he place where it was take. and the fact of a salmon being found in the Monnow is, we are assured by a most expert disciple oflsaak Wahon, without precedent. REBECCA BY DAYLIGHT ON- THE RIVF.R W E. About a fortnight ago, Mr. Evan Rees, carrier from Shrews- bury to Aberystwitb, was proceeding with his waggon laden with timber from Aberystwith to Llanidloes, when upon ar- riving at Pantmawr turnpike gate, the toll-collector de- manded the customary tell; in reply, Mr. Rees offered the half, which was refused by the gate-keeper. The stubborn Cambrian waggoner then ordered the servanf, who accom- tianied him, to hook the team of steeds to the gate-posts. the much-frightened toll-collector, sooner than have his gates and posts draggrd to pieces, immediately opened the gates foi her ladyship Rebecca to go peaceably through. But the lnattcr did not end here, as, shortly after, Mr. Rees was visited at the Black Horse Inn, in Aberystwith (which said house he is landlord of), by a bailiff, informing him that the magistrates of the hundred of Llanidloes were desirous of baijug an interview with him on a certain day in the tillage of Uandinam, near Llanidloes. Mr. Rees being a man of stomach, properly attended upon their worships a: the time desired who after examining into the business, gently in- him that they would deal very leniently this time, but if he made his appearance before them again upon such occasion, that the utmost penalty of the law should be in- iiicted- at present they would only impose upon him the sum (It five pounds and costs, which was immediately paid. Mr. Rees then bowed and left the court. SWANSEA PETTY SESSIONS.-These Sessions were held t,vnIi'i!I on Tuesday, before the Rev.

NEW PATENTS.—Among the new patents for Janu- J ary, we find the following:—Edward Btidd, Swansea, cop- j per merchant, and W. Morgan, Swansea, refiner of copper, for improvements in treating or reducing of copper ores, and in the construction of furnaces for treating such, part of which improvements are applicable to other ores,— W. Long- maid, Plymouth, accountant, for an improvement in the ma- nufacture of copper, tin, zinc, and peroxide of iron. A CAUTION.—There is a young impostor travelling the country, canvassing," as he says, for subscribers to a new work on foonk-keepins, to be published immediately after he obtains a sufficient number of suhscriheis to defray the expense." In a few days after, lie brings some hook Oil the subject, ready bound, at the same time declaring the whole to have been got up since hi* previous call; thus pawning upon the unwary subscriber a paltry tiling, which, on examination, turns out by the date on the title page, to have been printed in the year 1842. WEST OF ENGLAND AND ^OL'TM WAI.RS DISTRICT HANK.—Thf annual n>p«Mmg of this estensive banning company took pl.ice Oil Wednesday se'wniglit, at tne head office in Bristol. The meeting was very fully attended. The report, which the proprietors deemed to he satisfac- tory, especially when the depressed state of the money market is taken into consideration, was moved by John Marry, F.-q., M.D..of Clmdleigh, seconded by John Browne, Esq., of Bridgwater, and unanimously adopted. A divi- dend of four per cent, per annom on the pnid-up capital (207,2871.) was declared the reserve fund being 13,2-191. The retiring directors were cordially re-elected. The Flintshire colliers have struck work for an ad- vance of wales, at a time when hundreds of working men are in a total want of employment. This movement lias been urged by the delegates from the orth. whose meet- ings we have recently noticed. The following are sai 1 to be amougst the demands :—The colliers demand that what they aie nou paid 4s. for shall be advanced to 5s. 6,1. The drawers demand an advance of from 2s. Sd. to 3s. 2d.; and the tillers from 2s. 5d. to 2s. lld. All olhe; IS employed also demand an advance. The strike is not general, but still it is embarrassing to several lar«e concerns. This comhina- tion will ptobahlv prodnce a combination of the employeis, which will eventually end in the depression of %,ages.- Shrewsbury Chronicle. I r. A L), e Duchess of Kent steamer arrived on Thursday afternoon from Liverpool, to be in readiness to convey the Queen's speech to Ireland, on its arrival per ex. press, direct from London. On Wednesday, one of the Dublin newsmen, as usual, came over with the packet, with a set of trained doves, to be let oif, with copies of the speech attached, when the packet comes in sight of the {,i.;h caast; by this process, considerable time is saved, the doves ire- nerally teaching their destination two or three hours earlier than tile I)aclet.-C(zr-nart-on Herald. NOKTH WILTS.—J. Edridge, Esq.,Pnckeridge House, Wilts, and one of the Bath Aldermen, has announced him- self a candidate for North Wilts, in opposition to Mr. Sother- on. He says in his liddless-" On the questions of religion and education I avow myself the friend of civil and religions liberty in its most extended sense: and, with reference to free trade, a most decided enemy to all monopoly, particularly that which enhances the value of food bv means of the odious and delusive Coi ii-laws. Bath and Cheltenham Gazette. The Hih Sheriff of Gloucester has refused to con- vene a county meeting "to take into consideration the ex- isting restrictions on commerce, especially those affecting (he necessaries of life, and to hear Mr. Cobden and others On these subjects." The ground lie alleges is, that "the avowed objects of the proposed meeting appear to he, not so much to give the freeholders of the countv an opportunity of expressing their sentiments, as to listen to the arguments of strangers." Among the requisiooists were the Earls of liadnor and Ducie, and the following Members of Parlia- ment :—Mr. Langston, Mr. Philpotts, Mr. John Martin, Mr. Pryse Pryse, Mr. Powlett Scrope, and Mr. Stanton. A meeting, however, will take place on the 24th inst., I he following six .Magistrates having, in consequence of the HidJ Sheriff's relusal, appointed that day for holding the meet- inl-; :-The Eall of Ducie, and Messrs. Edwatd Holland, L. S. Austin, L. Clntterbnck, J. Raymond Barker, Iteginald Wvnniatt, and C. E. Hanfotd. TIMBER TnADE AT BRISTOL IN 1843.—Ninety-eight ships, laden with timber, deals, &c., with a tonnage of 42,102 tons, entered the port of Biistol. The Dock dues paid amounted to 6,0501. RAILWAYS.-The earnings of the several railways in Great Bi itaiti, for the last yeai-, are caletilited at 4,627,056/. The receipts tor the London and Birmingham line were the highest, amounting to not lebs than 826,5091. The Great Western stands next, the receipts being 701.3631. BRISTOL A\D EXETER RAILWAY.—Our readers will recollect that, in August last, after an accident at Someiset- bridge, near Bridgwater, the extraordinary verdict ot Man- slaughter was returned by the coroner's inquisition against the directors of the Bristol and Exeter Railway Company, in consequence of the death of Richard Hall by such accident. Measures ei-e immediately taken by the directors to remove the proceedings into the Court of Queen's Bench and on Wednesday se,ijoi-ilt, on the motion of Mr. Talbot, Q.C., the inquisition and verdict were quashed hy the judges with- out any hesitation. YOUNG POTATOES.—Weunderstand that some young potatoes, planted two months ago in the open air, have been dug up in the gauleu of Mr. William Broadrib, CiKtton, Somerset. One of the lot was found to be IIhoot half the dimensions of a tennis-ball, the remainder as large as good- sized marbles.-Bristol Mercury. THE DEAD LETTER OI FICE.—ON the 25th of May, 1788, a fite-guinea bill of the firm of Sir John Duntze, was sent in a lettel- to Exeter, by a ti-atiesisian of Hoiswortliy the letter miscarried, and did not reach its proper destination, and the money of course was considered as lost; when to the surprise of the person that sent it, thirty-eight years after. wards, he again received it from the dead letter office, in- closing the I lill.- Plymouth Journal. The Meetings of the Cobre and Santiago Mininrj Companies have taken place this week. At the former, it is to be rcgltted that the director were not in a position to declare a ttividena --alilioti,Ii from the statements submitted of the assets, and the quantity of ore on its way to this country, it appeared that some 20,0001. and upwards would be devisable within two or three months. A question of in. terest, and, indeed, importance, to this company—which, we understand, has from 7000 to 8000 tons of poor ores"! (eight per cent produce) lying at bank—was brought forward, that of reducing them by the appliance ot a ptocess which was said to be successful in Nassau. There "as evidently a want of knowledge on the part of those who should have been better informed, and, we regret to say, a tenacity evinced towards their own opinions, without any arguments or facts adduced to support their views. Mr. Trongtnon's patent for the separation of oies previous to being smelted is entertained by the company, and, from the samples prc- sented at the meeting, appears to be perfect. We expect, in an early Number, to be in a position to render some in- teresting details on the subject, from the patentee. At the meeting of the Santiago proprietors, a dividend was pit! posed by the ditectors in the report submitted; but, as it was represented in the address of the chairman that it was necessary they should be in a position with ttinds, to meet the Cobre Company in the appeal from the decision of the Court of Havana, as relates to the Sanctuary Ground—as also the contemplated purchase of San Josd Mine, which, it appears, is the same lode as that worked by the Santiago Company, the Sanctuary being the intermediate ground—it was determined that no dividend shall be declared. Tlie amount to be paid as purchase money for the San Jose pro- p rty was not stated, although the question was pressed by more than one proprietor. One fact was broadly stated by the chairman, and admitted by the IJledillg-thilt, with reference to legal measures in Cubit (and, indeed, ill the Spanish Colonies generally) it was well understood that the heaviest purse had the best chance.— Mining Journal, HOT-BLAST PATENT CASE.—We understand that the proceedings in this long litigated case have at last been arranged by compromise, the Messrs. Baiid (fhe last of the parties with whom the patentees were in coutt) having agreed to pay 100,0001. in the name of damages, on account of the infringement of the patent, together with GOOOl, of costs. No final settlement has yet, as we areinfotmed, been come to with the other infringers, but we believe that a payment has been made by them of 5s. per ton to accollut, and that the remainder of the damages chimed tiom them has slill to he adjusted under subsisting arbitration.
