SAILORS' HOME —It gives its great pleasure to find that a "Sailors' Home" Ins been recently opened on the Straiiii, iii tliiis town, in a (-on)!no,tiotig f)otisv, witli rerv comfortable accommodation of beds for 25 seilmen, and other suitable arrangements, under the direction of a Committee of the Swansea British and Foieign Sailors'Society. This establishment is capable of great extension, and one of this description is now woiking well upon a lai-ae scale i,, Ie metropolis. We hope it inay meet with snppoi t in this town, where the depraved habits of seafaiinn persons returning from foreign voyages, bavins large sums to leceive for wages, is so striking to every inhabitant. We give the fol- lowing testimony as to the comforts of the establishment, signed by the greater part of the crew of the Mathesis: — This is to certify, Hint we, the undersigned, have, during our stay at Swansea, resided at tbe Sailors' Home, and now, on our departure, feel great pleasure in leaving this testi- monial of onr perfect satisfaction of the manner in which the establishment is conducted, and most earnes:!y recom. mend those, wbo have not families and homes ol'their own, to make it their residence while they remain in this port." ROYAL Ixst'tvTION OF SOUTH WALES. — Mr. Michael delivered his second lecture, on the Phenomena of Chemicat Attraction, on last Tuesday evening, aud fullv sustained the interest excited by his former lecture, which was acteeably acknowledged by an increased attendance. On this occa- sion, his experiments '.vere more numerous and attractive, more strikingly apposite to the elucidation of bis several subjects, and equally v/ell performed as in his first lecture. In compliance with the usual practice, which ministers to the spirit of this utilitarian age, Mr. M., at the conclusion of his lecture, exhibited some experiments to shew the manner in which chemistry is applied lo the useful arts; those be selected being in illustration of the methods of detecting poisons in the human body,—the processes of dying, bleach- ing,engraving on glas: of gilding and silvering metals by the electrotype, the making of ink and Prussian blue,—the construction of the di»!ng-be!l,and the composition of signal- lights. On this part oThis subject, he said that in the com- mencement of his first lecture, he had remaiked how very generally chemistry is available in the investigations of other science, and he might now make the same observation iu reference to its extensive adaptation to almost all our manufactures and arts, since the e are few of them that are not either in themselves chemical processes, or owe their improvements in quality or economy to its researches. Rot chemistry, he observed, has fascinations altogether uncon- nected with its mere utility, for in the investigations of the nature and (jualities of the objects around ns, and in watch. ing the etiriotif and mystical processes exhibitrd in the changes of chemical action, there is a pleasure which the sordid acquisition of gain cannot give. Heconctudedhv professing that, in the feeble attempts lie had made to sketch some of its principles, and illustrate them by experiment, it was less his intention to teacn chemistry than to persuade to its study those hitherto unacquainted with it. To persons familiar with chemistry, he would not offer anv apology either for himself or his imperfect essays, for he w ell knew that, without exception, the truly leaded in the science are always gratified by witnessing chemical experiments, and are ever ready to encon age and assist those who seek to i cultivate or teaeh its truths. The company sepaiated at ten o'clock, apparently much pleased with the lecture. THE WEATHt;r..— During the late gales considerable damage was sustained by the shipping lying in the Mumble roads. The Charles, of Llantllv, driven fiom her moorings and thrown upon the bank, sustained considerable damage and was obliged to discharge her cargo. The Anne, Holland, and Meridian, VViison, were driven from tbeir moorings, but it i-i not supposed they have been muchinjured. The A beona Brothers, of Pen/nice and Charles, of the Mumbles, weie aUo forced along towards the beach, the latter bavin" her stern knocked in. The Hebecca, of Bridgwater, having heell driven from her mooiings, beat heavily npon a heap of stones and pieces of ruck for some time, and then sunk. At high water her masts from a little below the cross trees are visible. Tbe John, of Fowey the Superior, of St. Ives the Industry, of Bridgwater; and one or two other vessels whose names we could not ascertain, sustained very heavy damage, On her way to the shoie the Superior was forced through the fleet of dredging boats,and caused very considerable ('.image, si oking several of them. The Underlay, Howden, was obliged to slip her cables and put to sea, taking the pilot with her, who was afterwards put on shore in Gower. SWANSEA PETTY SKSSIONS, March J9.-Before the Rev. tn- Hewson, D.D., L. LI. Dillwyn, .John Grove, J.D. Blew lyn, Thomas Penrice, and C. H. Smith, Esqrs.— Eliza Williams was charged with having deserted from the Swansea Union Workhouse, and taking therefrom titre; articles of female weaiing apparel.— From the evidence of Mr. Hernaman, it appeared that, on the 25rh of December last, the defendant sealed the walls of the yard, leaving her illegitimate child (aged four months) behind her, taking with lie- three articles of female apparel, which were the property of the Swansea Poor Law Union. The prisoner said, "site thought it was better to go out, and go to ser- vice." Mr. Fox, of Goat-street, here stepped forward, and said that defendant was a relation of his wife, that he had often cautioned prisoner, and warned her of the danger which would probably tesnlt frem running after an idle sol- dier, but be was sorry to say, that his remonstrances IIMI been of no av.<i).—The Magistrates sentenced her to be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for six weeks; but upon being reminded, that the Act of Parliament required them to send her for thiee months, they intimated to her that she would have to undergo that sentence.—A Mr". Grill wished to ask the Magistrates' advice under the fol- lowing circumstances: —About Ib, ee months ago, she occu- pied a house, the property of one AnthonyThomts; she left it, sending a week's rent and the key, which were re- ceived. Yesterday, he sent a bailiff, whom she called "John Bull's Head." Thp hailiff lold her he had been in- structed to demand a week's rent, as she had left without notice. She told him she had paid a week's rent at leaving, —Major Penrice Is your landlord worth anything?—Com- plainant Oh, yes, sir, he has five or six houses.—Mijor Penrice: Then go limiie—don't mind him; you can, if you like, make him pay pretty smartly, if he puts a distress into your house. At the Neath Petty Sessions, John Benin, a respect- able grocer at the Skewen, was charged with having as. saulted Bridget Bullin,on the 7th inst. From the evidence it appeared that the defendant on the day in question had threatened to obtain a warrant against the complainant's daughter for felony, while in his employment, from which she had been discharged, after a service of about seven weeks. Upon the charge being made against her daughter, complainant went to the defendant's shop and made use of some very abusive language towards him, upon which he desired her to leave the shop, which she did not feel disposed to do, and he removed her out to the pavement, wbeie she contillned her abusive language, and then she got what she termed such a "violent push" that it made her run forward some yards, and then fell down no her hands and knees. The complainant having admi,ted that she was not struck at all by defendant, but only pushed of his premises after using her tongne pretty freely, the complaint was dis- charged on payment of costs by defendant.— Mary Ann Bullin was brought up under a charge of felony. She is the daughter of the complainant in the last case, and the offence committed by her was that of stealing about four or five shillings worth of couieci'mnarv from her employer. The prosecutor (Mr. Be.de) defined pressing the charge against her, and she was discharged. ° AWFULLY SUDDEN DEA TH.—On Samrdav last, when the old Bristol Passage mail boat was about half way across the wind blew rather heavily, and the ferrymen deemed it expedient to take to the oars, when a man named Senegagh, who was in the act of seizing an oar, immediately fell back and expired. The poor man, who had been employed in ihe boat for twenty-five years, has left a wife an,1 five children, who were dependant upon him for support. SMALL-POX AND VACCINATION. — There has been a considerable increase of small-pox in the Metropolis of late. Twice the number of Patients have been admitted into the Hospital as weie admitted in 1831, when it was so verv prevalent and fatal. It is well Worthy of notice, that, of those who had not been vaccinated last yeat, at least one third died, whilst of 69 patients who had been vaccinated, there died NOT ONE. This accumulated testimony in favor of Vaccination rendeis the neglect of the practice not merely most unwise but in a high degree criminal. RELIEVING 0 FFICER Poult LAWS —At .\laidsrone, on Monday the lltb inst., Baron Alderson, in his char»e to the Grand Jury, said that it became a matter of very grave consideration, whether the system of centializ.ition under the new Poor Law, in the matter of Medical Relief, did not fall upon the aged and the sick with a severity which it was almost fearful to contemplate. It appeared by the depo- sitions in this case that the deceased had a distaiice of three miles to go to obtain medical relief, and at this time she was not at all in a condition to go that distance." Again, alluding to the facts, of a case, the Learned Judge observed, that a husband was both morally and legally bound to provide for his wife, and if he wilfully failed to do so, and death was the consequence, the offence might amount toMUKDER,or. at all events, to MANSLAUGHTER;" and he added, "that to I some extent, the same observation would apply to a RELIEV- ING OFFICER, who, by his office, was bound to afford relief to the destitute poor, and if, by his neglect, death ensued, he might he amenable to one or other of these charges." VALUE A\D IMPORTANCE OF AUTIFICIAL°TEF.TH.— The teeth influence the form and expression of the counte- nance much more than is generally imagined, and the finest face is disfigured if any of the teeth are lost, and a disagree- able impression is produced. — Where the teeth are good, there is, when speaking, or smiling especially, a fascination present, which prevents further examination of the counte nance.—The new Incorrodible Teeth introduced by Mr. THOMAS, Snrgeon-Dentist, No. 68, Berners-street, Oxford- street, London, are fixed without extracting anv roots or teeth, or giving any pain whatever. They will al»o be found much more economical than any other.
CARMARTHENSHIRE SPRING ASSIZES.
CARMARTHENSHIRE SPRING ASSIZES. The Commission for holding these Assizes was opened on Saturday last, before the Hon. Sir W. H. Maule. The Learned Judge arrived in Carmarthen from Cardigan. On Sunday his Lordship, escorted by a retinue of javelin- men, &c., proceeded in tbe carriage of the High Sheriff, Raleigh Addenbroke Mangel, Esq., of Heathficld, to St Peter's Church, where an appropriate Sermon was preached by the Rev. Henry Wyndham Jones, Rector of Loughor, Chaplain on the occasion to the High Sheriff. In the evening nis Lord- ship, together with Messrs. Chilton, Q.C., Sergeant Jones, Nicholl Came, W. R. Grove, the High Sheriff, the Judge's Marshal, and two or three gentlemen in the Commission of the Peace, dined at Glannant, the seat of Mr. Wilson, the Learned Recorder of Carmarthen.— On Monday, the business of the Assizes commenced, and his Lordship took his seat on the Bench at ten o'clock. The Borough Calendar contains the names of nine prisoners, seven or eight of whom are charged with offences connected with the lafte riot at the W orkhoitse, and other offences arising ont of the recent disturbances. There are twenty-two names on the County Calendar, the majority of whom are charged with riots, assaults, and depredations connected with Rebecca- ism. True bills against several of these prisoners were found at the last Assizes. Several respectable farmers and others are implicated in some of the charges from their station in society, their cases naturally cause considerable excitement and apprehension as to the result of the trials. In four cases the defendants are Queen's Bench traversers, having been at the last Assizes removed by certiorari. They are to be tried by Special Juries, and are precisely in the same position as Mr. O'Connell and the other traversers at the late Dublin trials. Soon after tbf Learned Judge took his seat on the Bench, the Officer of the Court commenced calling over the names of Magistrates and Grand Jurors, Coroners, &c.—The following County Magistrates answered to their names — Hon. G. It. Trevor, M.P. James Thomas, Enq. Rev. Sir E. H. G. Williams, Bart. Francis Sat.iters, R.«q. John Edward Sanders, Esq. George Mor^nti, Esq. K. A.

I The proclamation against vice and profanity liaviftg been rend, the Learned Judne addressed his charge to the Grand Jury, and observed, that the number of prisoners in the present calendar was but small, if they excluded those cases arising out ol the late I disturbances, and in which true bills had been found at former assizes. This \Vas in cOlIsequPllce of a upasure for the adoption of which he [the Learned Judge] for one, felt grateful to the Magistrates. He alluded to the plan of holding an adjourned ses- sions immediately before the assizes, which cleared the calendar of a number of small cases, which in of her count ies were sometimes allowed to impede the business of the Court, and prevent tlie disposal of important cases, and those which could be Iri- d onlv at the assizes. That was a measure which, when it could be adopted, was very useful in saving time at assizes. It was quite unnecessary for him to trouble the Grand Jury with any remarks on the state of the country, as many of them were more conver- sant with, and better informed about the country than himself. He was sorry to find there were indications that the disturbances continued in that county down to a later period than in some other parts Of Sonth Wales, but by the vigilance and activitt of the magistracy hebopedtbp peace of the county had been perma- nently restored His Lordship concluded by stating, that should Buy difficulties relating to points of law or of any other kind arisp, he would be happy to assist them. To the Grand Jury for the Borough, the Learned Judge said that there was no offence in their calendar calling for anv observa- tions with the exception of those arising from the recent disturb- ances. The observations made to the Grand Jury for the couniv would be equally applicable to them. He trusted that by their united exertions tranquillity and order would be restored. The Grand Juries both for the Comity and Borough then retired, ano in a short time true bills were found against several prisoners. Thomas IVoolley, of Swansea, was charged with having feloni- ously stolen one fillv. the property of Morgan Morgan Mr. Vaughan Williams briefly slated the. case The prisoner. who foitowed the occupation of a carrier between Carimrlhen and Swansea, was charged with the ffflence of stealing a filly, the pro- perty of Morgan Morgau, the prosecutor, who was a small farmer, residing at Tynewydd, near Llandybie.bnnt two months ago he missed the filly in question, and in consequence of information communicated to him he proceeded to Swansea, and informed the police of his loss. Shortly afterwards the police found the fitly in a rard behind the house of the prisoner's father. It was prolJablo thlt the fiity in the first place followed the prisoner's horses, and he, taking advantage of that circumstance, look it into his possession. It would be proved that in conversation with various persons on the road he had claimed the (illy as being his property, and after driving it for several miles, he took it into his waggon. Though the filly might at first have followed him. yet, if lie afterwards assumed to be the owner, he was guilty of the offence. The Learned Connsel then called the following witnesses: Morgan Morgan, the prosecutor, deposed to the fact of the fillv having been missed on the day in question, and due search for it having been made iti the neighbourhood, but ineffectually wit- ness, in consequence of information which had been communicated to him, proceeded to Swansea. He informed ihe police of the loss, and minutely described the marks,.ixc.,topo)icem;tn\VtJ!iam Webb He and Ihe constable proceeded to prisoner's huu.e, and made enquiries about the tilly, but the prisoner denied having seen such a colt. On making further search, the filly, which witness identified a* being the same as had been missed b, him, was found by the policeman behind the house of prisoner's father. In his cross examination by Mr. Richards, who defended the prisoner, witness said that, previous to missing the filly, lie had seen her in tire s'able, the door of which was shut. The gate of the yard was also generally kept shut, with the exception of the times al which it was opened to admit Ihe caule to the waler. He knew that the prisoner was a carrier hetween Carmarthen and Swansea; knew nothing of his respectability, as he had no IIC- quaintance with him. The filly might have got out. He believed that on being let out to water, the filly ran from the mare and fol- lowed prisoner's cart.- -Notliitt,- important was further elicited in cross examination. William Webb, one of the Swansea police, proved that after having searched the premises of the prisoner's father, he found a filly in an adjoining yard. Prisoner was subsequently taken into custody. Cross-examined :—Prisoner's father lived in Frog-street. The yard in which the filly was fonnd did not beloi g to prisoner's father, but adjoined it. The filly was not concealed, but was running about. The prisoner, to the present time, had borne a good character. Jane Thomas, residing at Cross Hands, on the road between Swansea and the prosecutor's house, slated in evidence that she saw the (illy on the road with the prisoner. That he xsked her for the loan of a hatchet, which she could not give him, as she had riot got one. She asked him where he had got the pony from, and he saucily answered that he had bought it Cross-examined He wanted a knife or hatchet to cut a holly- bush. Prisoner did not appear to be quite sober. The liily was walking near the two horses. She asked him the question hf- cause she was surprised lo see so young a colt between the lioi ses. John Barlett proved, that on the day previous to Christmas- day, he was on the road between Cross Hands and Swansea, and he met a man, whom he could not say was the prisoner, driving a waggon drawn bv Iwo horses. A chesnut-colouied lilty ran on before the driver of tiie waggon it had a halter around its head. The driver touched the filly with his whip as witness passed. Thos. Thomas, engine-feeder Pontardulais. deposed to haviug met the prisoner near the Red Lion Inn, di iving his waggon, with a fillv of a chesnut colour, with a white mark in his head, driven before his horses. He asked the prisoner where he had got Morgan the limer's (illy ? Prisoner replied, What's that to you." Witness said, I'll turn hi in back now."
