THE LCIT COURTS of the Duke of Beaufort for the Borowgh and Manor of SWIDMI wa. held at the Townhall OR Monday before Mr; Jeffrey*, the Recorder, 4c. The -alceremonies were gone throngh, and in the evening the various officers and the jury dined together. The Courts for the various other manors were likewise held on the several days following as advertised in onr last. SWANSEA HAUBOUK.—The Monthly Meeting of the Harbour Trustees was held at the Townhall, on Monday last; there were present, Mr. Christopher James (in the clwir), Mr. Aubrey, Mr. Redhead, Mr. Essery, Mr. J. Wil. liains, Mr. Row, Mr. Elias Jenkins, Mr. T. Walters, Mr. S. Benson, and Mi, Wm. Walters.—After the Chairman had read the minutes of the last meeting a conversation arose in reference to the new works at the Pottery. It was inci- dentally remaiked that, although sums of money had been fren>senily raised for the purpose of proceeding with those woks, such sums had been included in the general expen- diture of the harbour.—Mr. Bemon having made some in- quiries of Mr. Hall respecting the state of the funds, moved the following resolution, which was seconded by Mr. Elias Jenkins, and carried unanimously :—" That the sum of 68001., with any additional sums raised on bond, be trans- ferred to a separate fund, and applied for the purposes only of completing the Potteiy works, and that the balance raised for the purposes of the new works, but which has been expended for the general purposes of the harbour, be ascertained, and placed to the credit of the same account." —The Chairman directed the attention of the meeting to the expediency of the exercise of a little circumspection on the part of the Trustees, as Guardians of the public inte- rests, in reference to the method adopted by the Sonth Wales Railway Company in bringing their line across the rner, so as to lIecure a free and easy approach from the Strand; shonld the lewel of the line be unfavourable, the expense of altering the road would devolve upon the Trust. He did not know that there existed any grounds for ap- prehending that such a result would take place, but they might as well examine the matter.—After some conversation, it was agreed that a Committee, consisting of Mr. Essery, Mr. Dillwyn, Mr. C. James, and Mr. Benson, be appointed to prepare a plan, and report on the best level of road reo quired for an easy approach from the town to the Pottery wharf.—It was also agreed that the same Committee, sub- stituting Mr. Elias Jenkins1 name for that of Mr. Benson, should be appointed for the purpose of ascertaining the best mode of communication with the Swansea Vale Railway.— After the transaction of some routine business, the meeting separated. MESMERISM.—Mr. E. T. Hicks, notices of whose lectures on Mesmerism have appeared in onr two last num- bers, delivered his concluding lecture on the subject at the Theatre of the Royal Institution on Friday evening. The audience was numerous, although not so overflowing as on the previous Monday evening. The experiments made on the two lads, Elias Jenkins and Henry &imon, were similar to those at the previous lectures. The only new feature presented at this lecture, differing from those of the previous evenings, was an experiment made (and which proved sig- nally successful), in mesmerizing two young ladies, without personal contact. The lecturer stood upon the platform, while the patients sat among the audience at a distance of about three yards. After the nsual steady gaze at both together, and a few minutes' manipulation, the patients fell asleep nearly at the same time nnder the magic influence of mesmerism. The organ of wit was successfully excited in one of the patients, but the experiments in reference lo the phrenological organs were not proceeded with, the friends of the young persons who had thus kindly allowed them- selves, in deference to the wishes of the audience, to be sub- mitted to the tests of experiments, being naturally desirous that no further exhibition of them should be made. Another young female, who had never been subjected to the inflnenee of mesmerism on any previous occasion, either privately or publicly, having applied to the lecturer only a few hours previously, with a view of trying the effects of mesmerism in the cuie of epileptic fits, ascended the platform at the urgent request of the lecturer and audience. In this case the experiment was successful so far as regarded the pro- dncing of sleep. A partial rigidity of the aims was likewise induced. Dr. Nicol likewise made some experiments on the boy Jenkins in reference to the acceleralionof pulsation produced by mecineiism. In the course of the evening the lecturer replied to the observations contained in a letter signed Looker-on," which appeared in onr last paper, Some of the facts pnt forth he disputed, and in of her in- stances, combated the inferences deduced. Someindividuats in the meeting bore testimony to instances in which they had been relieved of the effects of rheumatism, paralysis, &c., through the influence of mesmerism. At the conclusion, Mr. Hicks thanked the audience for the patronage bestowed upon him and expiessed his intention of again visiting Swansea at no very remote period. We have been mfol tned that the experiments tried at a select seance held on the fol- lowing day proved equally successful. NEATH —On Monday, Mr. Hicks delivered his fourth lecture on Mesmerism, at the Townhall. There was a good a. tendance. After a few brief introductory remarks, he proceeded to make experiments upon a lad named Rosser, employed by Mr. Hutchins. butcher, whom he succeeded in bringing under the mesmeric influence. In the case of a young mm named Townsend, he was not .0 successful. He then proceeded to make experiments npon Elias Jenkins, whom he had taken with him from Swansea. SUDDEN DEATH.—On Sunday last, as the bodv of Thomas Stephen Rees, better known by the name ot Twm Stephen, for many years proprietor of the Neath and Swansea Canal-boat, was being taken to its last resl.ng- place hi« wife, who hail been for some time indisposed, sud- denly' fell down and expired. The husband's body was taken back to the dwelling-house, and both were bmied on Monday, in Cadoxton Churchyaid. They have left six Oiphans to lament theii bereavement. SHOCKING ACCIDENT.—On Wednesday last, as Mr. Henry Oath's, son of Mr. Wm. Davies, of Cowbridge, was loading a waggon with beans, the load on which he stood fell throwina tbe young man off. He unfortunately de- scended on the pitch fotk which lie nsed-the prongs en- terinff his side between the ribs. Medical aid was soon pro- eared, but great doubts are ente. Mined of his recovery.

REPRCMNTrttoNor MONMOVTHSHTKC.—It iscarrently: reported, and we beMevewpon enquestionable authority, that a movement is in progress to remove LordGraaville Somerset frqm the represeatation of this county, at the next election. We are quitesnre, that if the Protectionists really carry their daring attempt in this way, as far as the hustings, tbey will experience so total and decisive a defeat, as will show the futility of an attempt, by any party, however self-confident, to domineer over the voters of Monmouthshire. We can give a shrewd guess as to the course which the gentry and the leading interests will adopt in such an event, and hare not a shadow of a shade of doubt as to the result. It would be as well, however, to give a moral lesson to the Ob strnctives, promptly, to save them from the discredit of so absurd a scheme as that of turning out," as we have just heard it elegantly expressed, one of the most active and in. telligent members of the House of Commons, who has been connected with this county nearly thirty years; and to show Lord Granville Somerset that his conduct in support of the great healing measure brought forward by her Majesty's Government, has strengthened the bonds of attachment be- tween his lordship and the intelligent constituency of Mon- mouthshire. Let the electors, then, be up and doing, in the leading towns of the county let public meetings be held and let strong resolutions go forth, evincing a manly deter- mination on the part of the people, not to be dictated to in the choice of their representatives.—Monmouthshire Merlin. COMING THE OLD SOLDIER.—III the Market-house of Dowlais, on Saturday la-t, Sergeant Hogan, of the 37th Regiment, was accosted by a noisy and drunken fellow, called in popular slang "Tom of the Swan," who desired to enter her Majesty's service. Hogan at first declined the loyal offer, not thinking her Majesty's forces would prove much more efficient from the addition of Tom to their num- ber; but as Tom fell the spirit of patriotism glowing within his dirty bosom, and would serve his country in spite of all discouragements, the Sergeant put him the usual queries. Was he free? A- the air. Was he willing ? Yes, as a hen to defend her chicken. Was lie able ? As valiant as Hercules, and as powerful as a Titan. These answers proving satis- factory, he was enlisted but on receipt of the shilling Tom showed incontestibty that his right arm was made of straw, and that therefore he could only serve her Majesty by drink- ing her health out of the Sergeant's shilling The transaction took place in the midst of a large concourse of people. whose jeers on hearing the joke compelled Hogan to beat retreat. Tom having been on Monday brought up before the Magis- Hates, their Worships were of opinion that Hogan had not used due caution in enlisting a man who was so obviously unfit for a soldier. A CHILD FOUND.—On Friday se'nnight, an interest- ing blue-eyed child, about two years and a half old, unable to articulate its name, or describe from where it had strayed, was picked up by a female Samaritan on the road between Newport and Cardiff, crying sadly tor its Mam, mam." The poor woman who thns found the child, made every en- deavour to find its pa ems, but unsuccessfully and at length, fearing that it was unnaturally deserted, she resolved oil adopting it as her own. Bntat the close of the day, a woman who resided in another part of Newport, and was just le- covered from a drunken debauch, found that her child was missing; and a mother's love coming back with sobriety,she wildly cried out for her infant, and at length ascertained that ihe innocent Utile babe was safe with one who, though not its mother, had jnst begun to feel love for her adopte ) and rushing to the hon»e she clasped her offspring to her arms again. EXTKAORDINAIIY SUICIDE OF A CHILD !-On Friday morning last, about six o'clock a little lad, in the employ of Mr. Oliver, printer, Newport, named David Davies,aged twelve years, and residing with his parents in the courtlage of Mrs. Jones, Hill-street. committed suicide by hanging himself in the privy by his handkerchief. He was discovered by his sister soon afier he had committed the awful deed, and cut down by Mrs. Joties. No other reason can be as. signed for this *e,y exirao-dinary ciime, than that the de- ceased was of a quick and violent temper, and had frequently been in the habit of threatening to hang himself, or cut his throat, when excited by his playmates. On Tlm.sdav even- ing he had some allercation with his little brother, and re- peated his threat, and on Friday morning, after his brother had gone to work, he committed the horiibleact. SOUTH WALES RAILWAY.—MR. FDJTOU,— I wish, through the medium of your journal, to put a few questions for ihe consideration of the Proprietors of the South Wale# Railway. 1st. YVhat will be the expense of the tunnel under the Severn? 2d. Is it to the interest of the South Wales Railway Companv that the Severn should be crossed at Litfledean lather than at the town of Gloucester? 3d, Would it not rather he much more advantageous to be con- nected with Gloucester and the railways meeting there, especially If a more direct communication than the present be established between Cheltenham and London ? .41h. Would it not be better if the Sonth Wales Railway is to communicate with Gloucester, and by is moie direct line than the Great Western with London, that the railway should be made with the narrow guage, which will also be more economical ? 5,1, What is the object of tbe tnnnel under the Severn. In it not to benefit the Great Western rather than the South Wales Railway? GUi. If it is for the benefit of the Gieat Wesiein why is 'he Sonth Wales Rail- way to bear the expense ? r 71h. Is not Ihe present low price of the shares caused by the tear lest the tnnnel sh -uld be made and if i, u, wUl „ot the ruin of the Company be in. evliable ? 81I1. If it U p al,able that the interests of the Great Western and ot the South Wale" Railway aie opposed, would it not be right that Mr Bnssell should cease to be chairman? 9th. Is not Mr Brunei sacrificing our interests to the Great Western in proposing a thing so ruinous as the tunnel? tf))b. Would it not be well, without Ion ot time, before the Bill now in Parliament be passed, that a meeting should be called to oppose the dangerous influence of the Gieat Wesiein A PROPRIETOR OF SOUTH WALES SHARES. -,flerepath*s Journal. THE CHESTER AND HOLYHEAD RAILWAy-The pro- gress of the works in forming the line oU Ihe Chester and Holyhead Railway excites great interest, owiug 10 the ftigantic character of the cuttings, viaducts, and tnftnela. The most important woiks «re those in operation between Weeg to the Mellai Straits, facing Britannia Rock, where Stevenson's iion tnnnel is to bridge the Menai. The con- tract between those distances, nearly twelve miles in length, and passing tlnoush the great Bangor and Carnarvon mountains, is being executed by Messrs T. Jackson and Son, and workmen are busily engaged in almost etery part of the line. There are three 14iniiels in the contract, the completion of which will occupy two years aud a half. One tunnel passes under the Bangor mountains at a depth varying from 160 feet to upwards ot 20(1, and its length is 1000 yards. Here the work is excessively laborioits-filt tnnnel having to be cut through solid rock, chiefly of '»»»• slate, the dislodgmenl being entirely effected by blasting, consequently g.eat cuire has to he exercised. The whole of this range of mountains consists of rocks to the summit, not more than two feet flf earth being found over any portion of them. NEW POTATOES.—On Thursday se'nnight, at the ticketing at Redrnih, some fine nevt potatoes were placed upon the table, which were grown by Mr. Treseder, market gardener, of Truro.— West Bril(pig.

ON HIE VEvrinrioN AND WORKING OF COAl. MtNM.—The following is an abstract of a paper on the Ventilation and Working of Coal Mines, with a vie%% to the prevention of accidents from explosion, read by Professor Ansted at the Roya) Institution:— Mr. Ansled commenced by alluding to the extent and frequency of the accidents that occur, and then mentioned the position "f the coul in beds and the necessity of sinking deell shifts 18 obtain it and alluding to the extent of the workings (otten M mnch as 500acres) in a single property, he explained that thoug" in the deep mines of tne north of England il was imnipossible that the number of shafts could be greatly multiplied, still at least two were required, and ooghl to he insisted ou. He then stated the principles of coal-working, with reference—Is', to the tendency 01 (be roof to fa t in from pressure and 2d, the neces- sity of obtaining a current of pure air for the aien and described the different systems followed in various districts with this vie<e. With reference to this part of the subject, he suggested the necessity of the extensive underground works being divided into districts, and provided wilb separate safe communication, so that, in ease of an accident, those only froin one di»trict would suffer. Mr. Ansted tb- n entered on the sobjeot of the gas, nod described the "Ingilig ll0iMe wilh which it is constantly given off whenever fresh surface 01 coal is exposed. He mentioned also the puff's of gas (blowers) which occasionally burat forth unes- peotedlv; and staled that while the ventilation might and ought to Ket ri,l of the ordinary issue, no ventilation would suffice to clear the air of these qiantitii-s. He instanced the case of a recent explosion „t Killinirworlb, and a» accident some year* ago at Jarrow, a* examples of blowers; and then described the accumulation of „HS in |d WOrki"gs. and in the broken roofor goaj, as other sources of dan Jr The latter was the cause of il.« either to gel rid of the gas or to li<ht ,ue air danger, were then alluded to.

PAVING COMMISSIONERS* MEETING. The Monthly Meeting of the Swansea Paving and Lighting Commissioners was hetd at the Townhall on Wed- nesday last. The following membets attended :-Mr. Tlios. Grove (in the chair), the Mayor, Capt. Evan Morgan, Mr. C. H.Smitli, Mr. J. W. Clark, Mr. L. W. Dillwyn, Mr. L. LI. Dillwyn, Mr. J. Jenkins, Mr. Michael, Mr.W. Edmond, Mr. Essery, Mr. D. Francis, Mr. Aubrey, Mr. Benson, Dr. Bird, Mr. J. Williams, and Mr. Moggridge. al The minutes of the last meeting having been read over, a discussion arose respecting the state of Wellington-row. Capt. MORGAN observed, that the Committee appointed by the Commissioners had, on several occasions, visited the spot, yet that nolhinj; effectual had been done. It would be useless for the tenants to clear the drain unless the Cor- poration constructed a proper outlet. It was therefore sug- gested that instead of performing this work piecemeal, the Corporation and tenants should set to work simultaneously, and abate the nuisance, which. he believed, was the only serious nuisance injurious to the health of the inhabitants the Commissioners had not done away villl. It was even- tually agreed that the Mayor should introduce the subject at the next Council meeting. A discussion then took place respecting the liability of the Water Works Company to the pa,ing rate. It ap. peared that the Commissioners had assessed the Company in the amount of IOl. per rate. Mr. SMITH, on behalf of the Company, expressed an opi- nion that the pipes of the Company were not liable at all, but, at the same time, with a view of preventing any litiga- tion, he offered to pay at the rate of 31. per assessment, on the same principle as the Company was assessed to the poor-rate, the land occupied by the pipes being rated as pastille land. The sum of 21. was deducted, because 51. covered the rate for the land connected with the reservoir, which was not within the rating jurisdiction of the Com. missioners. Mr. AUBREY, Mr. ESSERY, and other gentlemen, were of opinion that the assessment should be made on tbe same principle as improvements in house or any other property, vis., in proportion to the capital invested in pipes, &c. After a long discussion, it was eventually resolved, that the Commissioners should proceed in the usual way to en. force the assessment as it appeared in the books. Dr. BIRD called the attention of the meeting to file state of the road in Mount-pleasant,leading to the house occupied by Mr. David Francis, as well as those of seve al other in- dividnals. Although these houses were liable to the full rate, the inhabitants did not enjoy the advantages of paving or lighting. Mr. Francis had expressed his readiness of defraying the expenses of putting np a lamp post, &c., pro- wided the Commissioners maintained a light.-A resolution assentine to the proposal was carried. Mr. MOGGRIDGE called the attention of the Town Sur- veyor to the bad state of the whole of the Munnt-pleasant road from the Swan corner to the top of Ihe hill. Capt. MORGAN directed the attention of the meeting to a matter of some importance in reference to the regulations enforced hy the Paving Act lespecting the erection of new streets The Commissioners, it appeared, had always con- sidered that the lllth section of the Act compelled all par- ties building new stieets or rows of houses to reserve ten feet of ground in front of such houses for the formation of a street. In accordance with this interpretation of the clause, the Clerk had forwaided a notice to Mr. Jeffreys, as solicitor to Mi. C. R.Jones, on whose land in Heaihfield-terrace a row of houses is now in course of creciion. From the tenor of Mr. Jeffreys's letter, which Capt. Morgan read to ihe nieeting, it wonld appear, that he maintained thai the section did not provide that ten feet of private p-operty should b" reserved for a street, but merely compelled the party building to construct a street of that width on the ex- isting road. Mr. MICHAEL and several other gentlemen expressed an op'.nion to the effect, that such a provision would be alumni, as by forming the street on the existing roads, many of them would be reduced to mere alleys, and the town so far from being improved would be greatly deteriorated. The meet- ing appeared to be of opinion that so far from being di*ad- %,atilageotii;, it wonld be an advantage to proprietors to observe the regulation. After some discussion it was resolved to take Counsel's opinion in leference to the power conferred by the section. During the remainder of the meeting, the Commissioners were engaged it, disposing of appeal cases.
PETTY SESSIONS AND POLICE…
PETTY SESSIONS AND POLICE NEWS. SWANSEA PETTY SESSIONS.—At these Sessions, held at the lown Hall, on Tuesday, before T. Edw. Thomas, C H. frmith, Esqrs^Rew. J. -Collins and S. Davies, Edwards. ma tster, of Bishopstone, was charged, on the information 01 Mr. West, Supervisor of Excise, with having illegally com. pressed a quantity "f malt in the couch, by which the revenue was defrauded. Mr. Inpp, who appt.ared for defendant, addressed the Magistrates, observing that, acting under hi- advice, the defendant had pleaded guilty to the charge, for the law was such,that, although a person might be at a distance of a thousand miles from his establishment without any possible means of communicating therewith, yet, if 11111 offence were committed on his premises, he was legally, although not morally responsible. Mr. Inpp then detailed the whole history of the transaction, with the view of showing that ihe defendant bad been confined to his room for several days previous to the 4th of April, the day of the offence, and that during this period the management of the business had been left to an inexperienced young man. He hoped that, under these circumstances, the Magistrates would deem themselves justified in exercising their p.er of reducing the penalty from tOOL. to 25/ and of rec m- mending ihe case to the merciful consideration of the Board. a, one in which a further reduction might be deservedly made. -The Re.. David Jones, Rector of the parish of Bishopstone. was then called, and bore testimony to the defendant's high character tor ihe strictest integrity.

The defendant appeared for ihe purpose of trvi„„ the right of the public to ride over the sands tol|.|r«e. 'ri, £ complainant's witness deposed to having seen the defendant on the day in question ride on the turnpike road, and proceed »« the sands froin near the entrance to Uorse-lane. After ridino 011 the sands until opposite Singleton, ihe defendant f„(|e Ihe highway. Mr. Stroud did not di«pute the facts, but sub mitted thai ihe pub'ic had a perfect right to ride over the sand, He h»d always been in the liabit of doing n previous to r|. removal of the gale, and still continued the same practice, 'pi,' Magistrates expressed an opinion, that ulthou^b llie public had a perfect right to ride over the sands toll-free, still, they had m right lo proceed to Ihe sands after riding part of the way ou tf.J tur pike road. That amounted to an evasion of toll. ri,ev therefore, convicted the defendant in a nominal penalty aiL* costs.—A similar charge, preferred against Mr. John Thomas was withdrawn, bv the consent of the Magistrates, for a.-ra,,ce' went out ol Court.—Mr. IV. Pintiock, master of the Countestnf Bcctive, cuba trader, was charged with having, at Cuba faulted Wm Jones, an appren i e to Mr. Nicholson, the oiiit-r of that vessel. The complainant stated in his evidence, that whiie the vessel was laying off the Island of Cuba, all the cr were engaged in heaving up the anchor, white he (cognplaitiralt) and ano her apprentice were engaged in hauling the slack of the chain The defendant cante up to him, and told him to be quicker about it.

He complained to all of the pain inflicted Heard defendant telling Glenn, one of his (complainant's) witnesses, that he had applied too late to be engaged for anotheT voyage to Cuba. He did not take the hook out of his hand. Spoke to him only once before he struck him. Several additionat questions were put.—Tlios. Dobinson. a seaman, gave evjdtnce to the same effec'Several other witnesses having been es. oil behalf of the complaiuani, Robert Brown, the chief mate, was called oil behalf of the defendant. His evidence went to show, that the complainallt performed his work in a careless manner, and that the chastisement inflicted was by 110 means severe.—The Magistrates dismissed the case, considering the assaul' to have been justified. On THURSDAY, before the Mayor, Mr. Thomas Kneath was charged with having left a pair of truck" in the public streets, contrary to the provisions of the Paving Act. The defendant said that he had lent it to Mr. Robinson, grocer, in whose care it was at the time.

He said that, three weeks ago. he was at Morriston, when the officer took possession of his bundle, searched his pockets, took everything he found in them, and brought him to Swansea. He charged him with having kept a brooch and a pin, which was III Ins bundle. On further examination by Mr. Attwood, it appeared that when the complainant was taken into custody, the officer reported to his superior every thing found in his possession. Next day he was br unht before the Magis- trates, charged with hawking without a license. He was. how- ever, discharged with a camion, when the bundle was returned. He jid not discover the loss of th- articles for three days, not having opened his bundle. During this time he remained in a lodging house. He had not complained for ten days, because he had written for advice to th solicitor of some prosecuting society in London. The bundle did not contain more than about six shillings' worth of goods. The ring and brooch were worth ti.—The officer said, that when apprehended, llie com- plainant had the pockets nf his great coin and hat filled with goods. He had a lot of combs, about 20 brooches, and about 0100 earrings. In accordance witli the positive injunctions of the Police Committee, lie had taken him into custody for hawking without a licence. On his discharge all the goods were returned. — Inspector Rees said that lie had, on several occasions, spoken to the complainant since the occurrence, and that he had not complained of having lost any thing until the previous evening. The f-ict was, that, since the policc had been directed to keep a >trict surveillance over parties hawking without licenses, the receipts of a person in lown, who supplied goods to parties of this description, had been reduced from 4<H, to 201, a week He consequently telt sorely upon 'he subject.— Mr. Tripp, to whom complainant had applied for legal advice, was sent tor by the Mayor. He siid that when Ihe complainant spoke to him, he only complained of having been illeg il'y apprehended. He made no reference, as far as he understood his story, to a charge of felony.

EP0CATIQN IS WAIVES—CANTAB. To the EDITOR of The CAMBRIAN. StR,-A wriler in a late Cambrian, has come to this con- clusion :—" That Cantab's last communication is the most unpar- donable libel on Ihe inhabitants of a whole country he ever read." Now, Sir, this writer comes from Kidwelly. Kidwelly is the land of red petticoats, short pipes, and stale eggs; and when we knew it-whell is not many years ago-it- was a land, too, frui ful in witches, conjurors, blue lights, and every other appendage of ignorance, bigotry, and supersti'ion. But, according to this writer, there is nothing of the sori to be found there now. The old men study Locke on the Human Understanding;" the yuung men" D'Alembert's Forces," and the Law of Virtual Velocities mid — happv change-the old women ride to market, knit their IIl0ckillg-,ltllli smoke their short pipes, with the cnolesl indifferencp possible. They have no horrors floating across their vision of being overtaken by the nigill-lin dread of gliosis—no care-no anxiety;—they only swear at Mr. Bullen and his tnrw- pikr-gates. This, indeed, is a happy and a wonderful change. I hail it with the utmost satisfaction. Bui, Sir, you must excuse me, I am sceptical on these points, and nol without reason. In the tery Cambrian calling in question lily assertions, your cor- respondent from Maesteg had a letter to this effect :— A serious belief in witchcraft, charms, and soothsaying, we were wont to believe, had long since passed HVVHV ;-bllt no; sad '0 relate, there are many to be found (as will be seen from the circumstances about to be detailed) who even now. in the nine- teenth century, place the most religions coufidrnie in the efficacy of meant obtained from incantations, blue lights, Utcomolive broom, sticks, magic circles, &c.. &c." the writer then details the case of some monies being ab- stracted from the counting-house of certain iion-works, in the neighbourhood of Maesteg; and, llie usual methods of detecting the thief having been vainly tried, he add-, the workmen, one and all, feeling that the imputation must falllJpoll them collec- tively, appointed a delegate to go and consult the Conjuror in Carmarthenshire—perhaps Ki iw' ll]/. After this. Sir, it is unnecessary to produce any further in. stances of witches and conjurors being still at a premium within the Principality. Willi regard to the Preachers of South lvates. I beg most dis- tinctly to deny that I meant in any way to insult them. I have the uimost respect for them. I know them to be jolly fellows, partial to brown ale, the fatted goose, and mu'ard. and other spicy condiments and as we ourselves are happily giten in that way, we cannot, in all conscience, but admire and" respect them also. The Editor of a Cotenip-irary, as quoted in the House of Commons by the Member for Coventry, may say, that they are designing hypocrites, u-ith religion on <A. tr Hps antj wickedness in their hearts." But we don't believe one word of it we know them to be good men and true they read D'Alembert's Forces." and "llie Law of Virtual Velocities." I appeal to every farmers wife throughout the country for the truth of this assertion. I ask her, if the fatted calf is not always killed—if all the rice in the house is not made into a pudding—and if the blue boltle is nol always brought out from the cupboard when the Man of God [Gwr Duw] blesses her house wiln his presence. Sir, I am afraid that I was in younger days a great sinner. I re- member shocking one of these excellent women in a dreadful way in the mailer of one of these godly men. She was m, aunt as honest and as homely a farmer's wife as ever made butler. In my summer vacations, it was my usual custom to spend a few days with her. She was a lonely widow, and kept an excellent tap. I never lasted the strawberry" more perfect. Daring one of these visiig, she had slaying with her a Prophet of ihe Catvir.istic persuasion—a large, rotund man. full of texts and the institutes of Geneva. I shall never forget the poor woman's gladness at the very idea of her wild nephew being under the same r of, if but for a few nights, with so blessed a disciple of John Calvin. Sinner that I am, I pretended to be so too. I found great favour in the sight of the Man of God. We talked each evening, long after my dear old aunt had gone to bed, of Predestination and the swets of Grace. We bad the straw- berry" by us but we only drank that. One evening, I know not how it wu-but it must certainU have been the devil that got in with the ale-l plied the Prophet h ird. We discussed late and Ion;; By and bJ, even discussion became impossible. The good man's head bowed in humble meekness on his expansive chest. An unearlhh noise was heard within that cavity. I ue- came alarmed, and endeavoured to awake him but, sinner that I am, all the endeavours I could make only npset the chair, and there he lay, like an apoplectic ox, snoring and growling beneath the lable. At this moment, Sir. a savage wildnes* seized my brain I ran into the passage, and with all the efforts of a pair of brazen lungs, I cried out to my au"l, Modrib, modrib, deuwch lawr i weled G«r Dnu> dan y vord —Auntie, auntie, come and see the Man uf God beneath the table Next morning saw me on my road to Cambridge. Matteri, unnecessary to detail here, prevented me from visiting Wales for three years in the meantime my aunt died-a member of the Church of England. Sir, I merely repeat this story to shew the respect these good men are livid in, and also the unquestionable respect which I myself have for them And here I must correct an error I fell into in my Ust communication. I then said that these preachers were lamentably deficient in the knowledge of Mechanics. This was altogether an oversight; for 1 am fully convinced, and always have been, that their knowledge of the Mechanics is very great ;—indeed, almost all the knowledge tliey have is derived either from the (lwl or the anvil. Tliey pursue it practically every day, and theoretically every Sunday. Many a battered bible and pulpit front will bear me out lieie. And so. Sir, it has been tor two hundred years at least *0 says Huw M rus, ir, the year 1650.

Si range is it. indeed, that in two hunde-ed yetirs our position should be still the same. I know of no argument so strong for the intro. duciion of the English language, as the contemplation of these simple lines of the good old Baid; for if consecrated Cobblers and philosophic Millers are to be the teachers of the people, what else cmi you expect than a Doric or a Baeotic race ?

Thtjre are in Wales classes of the fair sex as tender-hearted, as accomplished, and as lovely as I have met any where, and Canlab has met not a few. Should these detail*, disgusting as they are, meet their eyes, let me beg of them, on beliaif of their unfortu- nnle countrywomen, to direct occasionally their tender sympathy to think of something that may bring about an amelioration. Let them remember these are not prostitutes in the ordinary sense of the term. They only follow what seems to be a general rule of the country. To proceed. A Mr. H.

This remark is not a little heightened by the foilowing Two or three months after," says he, « I asked one of them How do you get rsn. [That is, with the working of the new bastardy clause.] She said, • It is a bad time for the girls, sir the boys have their own way. Ailer this, we shall take leave of Mr Bellairs. The next is fleopii, Leach, Esq., Chairman of Quarter Sessions for the County of Pembroke You sn there is rather an increase in the crime of mothers deserting their children Yes; and I will state why Under theold Poor.Law the father had the responsibility, and the mother was aware of thai, and the lather was compelled to do something either the iaiher ur ,he parish made her a regular allowance and the very worst operations of it was, that the more bastards the mother hud, the mure */It was plead iu a beneficial situation." She then ot the nine bastards would, under the old law, ha'c been ad- mirablv well ofl. But Mr L. proceeds—" .VOHJ the maintenance rests entirely upon the mother; »he naturally feels what she did not feel before, that the sooner she tan get rid of the child the better." Mr. Leach says naturally." I feel curious to know by what law of .\ature it is natural for a mother to think that the sooner she deserts her unhappy offspring the better. This, I imagine, must be a nature confined to Pembrokeshire. It does smack somewhat of the apathy of the Low Dutch. There is a coldness about it which is quite Flemish. The Rev. R. B. Jones, Vicar of Ki/lymaenllwyd, is the next, and for Ihe present the last witness — Are the bastrrdy clauses very unpopulu?" Yes; there was a man taken up at Narbertb; he is a parishioner of ours lie has been writing a Rebecca letter; I asked him bow he came to write this letter. I He thought he said. it would do good; here was a poor woman starving and here was this lly-, who uns very well off, and he ought to give something to this po >r girl !o help her tu nurse the child she had hy him.' Then says Mr. Jones —" This poor man thought he was do:»q God service when he sat down to write this letter. He was a schoot master of a chapel in the neighbourhood." Here, sir, are three things worilii of notice First, the crreat the perhaps pardonable, ignorance of a schoolmaster. The" poor man thought he was doing God service" by writing a letter which, probably, threatened to burn Mr. —— a d his" lIule family in one brilliant bonfire. The morality tauglil by him lo HIK pupij* could not but have been AN exeniftiificftiion of ihe text, Do evil that good mav come." And wlien we consider, siri that education in Wales is nearly altogether in the hands of de- luded men like this man. i' is impossible to contemplate the result but with fear and trembling. The next thing is the licentious de. pravity and unfeeling cruelty ot Mr. Lastly, another ill- stance of female delusion or. in oiiier words, lhe ubsnlute necessity of some more effectual means of popular education. Twrn o'r Nunt, in his bitter s,tire of Banuau'r Byd, gives us a fea.tul description of the management and interior of a farm- house at the close of the last century. Tbeie was 'hen no show ot religion—curses abounded-no prayers were ever uttered even in their sleep, he says, Ihe, only tlreaml to utter a curse. VV hat- ever vice existed then, ail ihe world saw it.
