TOWN-COUNCIL.—A meeting of the Council took place last night. The report of the proceedings shall appear next week. Mr. Thomas Morriss, of Stow-hill, was elected alderman in the room of Mr. Thomas Hawkins, resigned. MELANCHOLY AND FATAL ACCIDENT.—It has seldom fallen to our lot to record a more lamentable occurrence than one which has taken place in this town during the present •veek. We allude to the accidental death of Sophia Thomas who was unintentionally deprived of life by a boy named John Pem. bridge. It is needless to repeat here the particulars of the fatal event, as they are fully given in another column, in our tepori 1 of the coroner's inquest which was held upon the body. We ■ cannot, however, omit the opportunity of impressing on the minds of paren's and masters the danger of keeping loaded fire- irms in their houses, and the necessity, where their presence is ibsolutely required by peculiar circumstances, of placing them out of the reach of children and inexpeiienced persons. It furnishes, too, another melancholy warning of the too often fatal consequences of jestingly piesenting fire-arms under any 1 circumstances at a fellow-creature, because, if loaded, death i. generally the resuh, and if unloaded, the impunity with which they may be played with furnishes an example which too often leads to their use when the consequences are such as we have to deplore on the present occasion. s On Friday evening, the 19th inst., the Rev. D. ? ap Rhys Stephen delivered the first of a course of lectutes on the subjectof Education, in the Girls' British School, Llanarth- street, Newport. The rev. lecturer commenced by observing that the subject of Education, lelating, as it did, to the moral and intellectual improvement of man, was at all times one of commanding interest; and that a capacity for Education is that which distinguishes man from all other sublunary creatures. In "j its most comprehensive sense, Education ia a vast and noble subject, embracing the well-being of our whole nature in body and mind. We must, however," observed the rev. gentleman, "restrict our views, and occupy a somewhat limited ground. In the present lecture our object will be to point out the neces- I slty of an intelligent education such an one as will cause the pupi to t unk; in a woid, such as will give him the knowledge not merely of words, but of things." Mr. S. then, m an able m»n J 1"anner». ,P.r°ceeded in a definition of the intellect of r iudirin 1 s caPa 'y of expansion by the instrumentality of fectd h fh ra,,0n- ^'s expansion of intellect must be ef- <J if hah e ormaiion of a /m/jif 0/ thinking—by the formation 1 s of right thinking—and by the furnishing the mind with proper materials for healthful and useful reflection. The habit of thinking," said Mr. S., "means the power to reflect consecutively upon a subject in its various parts, bearings, and tl consequences and you must not confound this with the restless 4 workings of mind common to all men." The rev. lecturer, ad. verting to the materials necessary for useful and healthful thought, observed that they consisted of Truth in its various modifications, comprising physical, scientific, mental, moral, and religious truth. The advantages of education, in its intel- p lectual department, said Mr. S., are these—" It destroys pre. a judice, annihilates superstition, furnishes sources of exalted gra v tirication, placing man, as far as his intellect is concerned, in n the position for which his benevolent Maker intended, destined, t and qualified him and thus only can we assert the claims, ex- a eicise the prerogatives, and discharge the duties of mind."—We t were sorry to observe so thin an attendance upon this lecture t yet we hope the succeeding ones will be delivered to a larger t audience, and that the rev. lecturer will reahse the object he a had in view, viz, that of adding to the funds of the school. a FATAL ACCIDENT.—An inquest was held on e Thursday last, at Risca, before Wm. Brewer, Esq., coroner, on n the body of Thomas Morgan, labourer, who met his death in a S quarry where he was employed. A stone so ponderous as to II require seven horses to remove it from over the wretched raanV a remains, fell on him and litetally crushed him to atoms. Ver- 0 diet accidental death. n At the lown Hall, Abergavenny, on Wednesday a last, Henry Morgan, laodlord of the Bush Inn, was charged 3 with allowing drunk and disorderly persons to be in his house „ at 3 o'cloek on Sunday morning, the 141h inst. He was cau- tl tioned and dismissed.—George Long was committed for trial to • Usk, charged with stealing from John Edwards a silver watch, [j a £5. note, a sovereign, and a shilling. t, On Sunday last a painful excitement was caused s at Monmouth, by the sudden disappearance of Mr. Nathaniel v Shellard, butcher, of that town and which, from the circum- ti stances attending it, and the previous state of his mind, has very » generally induced the impression that the unfortunale man has tl committed suicide. In consequence of derangement, Shellard a was some time since at Mr. Millard s asylum at Whitchurch, tl from which establishment he returned convalescent about seven c weeks ago. His wife subsequently died, which had induced II great depression of spirits, but had not prevented his paying fi attention to business. On Friday last, however, he declined tl preparing for the market, and during the whole of Saturday he h appeared absorbed and absent in his manner. He retired to n bed with his son about 10 o'clock, but the latter waking about J o c ock in the morning, immediately missed his father from a his side, fancying he saw him at the end of the bed, he called n his side, fancying he saw him at the end of the bed, he called 11 to him, but receiving no answer, he made an alarm to an in- II mate, and they both proceeded tosearch the house. They found il the back-door open, and, preceded by a faithful dog, which con- [I tinned smelling the ground, they traoed what they believed to g he poor Shellard's footmarks to the river Monnow, which flows at the end of the garden. He kft nODe of his clothes behind S him except one of his braces. J he river was dragged on Sun. n d^y and on Thursday last, but the body has not been discovered, II which may be accounted for, supposing the worst has happened b to the missing individual, by (he fact of the river having been II much swollen by recent floods. C On Monday last, Wm. Evans, a carpenter in the employ of Messrs. Burton, Monmouth, whilst descending a 11 ladder, and within a few steps of the ground, missed his footing (' and received a compound fracture of the thigh in his fall. Monmouth November Fail was held on Monday; last. There was an average supply of stock but in consequence II of the recent high prices, few buyers were present: those sales d which were effected were accordingly at an unexpected sacrifice, except with fat beasts, which fetched 7d. per lb.

The fc/ turer commenced by observing that Aristotle had said l. l0gt anything in literature to be perfect, it should have a Wgl Id pol a middle, and an end but as to an end, the lecturer cO" del expect to arrive at one that night upon a subject wb)C ed, manded a long course of lecture*, to be sufficiently e*P|*e \tf' Something, he trusted, would be found in Ihe body of J f\ ture, but standing, as he did, upon the very threshold 0 > apologetical introduction was peculiarly necessary. CODO f ))<' ourselves, however, not as isolated beings, but as parts 0 j^ manity, we should, in all humility, do what we could, n°lAOcC^ answerable for what we could not. The lecturer then g I at the early history of the art, which, he observed, sedly involved in much obscurity. He dwelt for a lew n,O-otil>0 on the practice of our forefathers in the olden titne< P their naked bodies with naluial objects, proving that up"" indigenous to the mind of man. The Americans, he s8'd'^9' 1 the discovery of Mexico by Fernandez Cortes, sent a tepr I tation upon tablets of llie Spanish armaments advancing' > shores, to their emperor Montezuma. He then entered 1 view of the state of painting in Babylon, at a period of mote antiquity also in Egypt, Dongola, and Nubia e »lso, the researches of Belzoni, and the specimens we J1 the British Musum.

THE CHARTISTS.
THE CHARTISTS. In our last, we promised to resume the subject of the infatuated course adopted by the Chartists of this town, at the public meeting convened to address the Queen. Since that day, we regret to find that the apprehensions expressed by a gentle- man at the meeting, have been realised. Newport has indeed acquired an unenviable notoriety, by the conduct of a portion of its inhabitants, in refusing the tribute of respect which all loyal and patriotic men, are now paying to their young and amiable Queen. The cause of good government will never be one whit furthered by the plans which the Chartists are taking in some places, to neutralise public meetings assembled for other purposes than that of promoting the Charter. What good they proposed to themselves the other day, by refusing to join their fellow-townsmen, in congratulating her Ma- jesty on the birth of a Prince of Wales, it is diffi- cult to say. For many hundred years, the lower classes" of England have groaned under the harsh and tyran- nical government of Monarchs, who were the organs of a cruel, unrelenting Oligarchy, treated as a "worthless, inert, inorganic mass" of matter, fit only to be exhausted for the pleasure and profit of the few nor have they, during all that period, possessed sufficient knowledge or energy wholly to enfranchise themselves from the degrading feudal yoke of ages, until Providence, in its bounty, vouchsafed to send them a Queen, unlike their ancestral taskmasters, compassionating their condi- tion, and willing to amend it. So far as the Sove- reign of England could remove the distress of England, she did so. Her Majesty appealed to the people to work out their own emancipation. The Queen appealed, but the people failed. Magnani- mous, manly, generous Chartists now show their gratitude, by withholding their congratulations on an occasion when no man should stand aloof, on any pretext whatever—when, as was observed at the meeting, men of varied opinions, merging the bitterness of party strife, should honourably join in one common object." View the conduct of the Chartists at our Town Court in what light we will, its effect was to pro- duce on the minds of all men a feeling that spite -and not principle—was its cause-spite at the existing order of things, and an expression of their hatred for the aristocracy and upper classes. But feelings like these will never give birth to enlightened philosophical Reform. The evil that exists, and the agents through whom it exists, are alike deserv- ing of our compassion and charitable consideration. Let them be reformed and opposed with fixed re- solution, but with no violence, or admixture of evil passions—as things that have struggled for their own existence naturally enough (for self-preservation is 0 the first law in nature), although condemned by the voice of reason and humanity. We say it is unmanly in the Chartists to take this, or any other indirect way, of expressing their grievances. It was a matter personal to the Queen. Can they say that her Majesty is personally ame- nable for the distress and want of work of which they complain (though, by the way, we are informed that most of the Chartists assembled on Friday, were persons in full occupation.) Did she fill the manufacturing districts with starving artizans ? Has she spread poverty over our Hills ? Has she driven destitute miners to the poor-house, impoverished owners, and extinguished forges ? Did she in any way contribute to subject Paisley to a diet of saw- dust, and Manchester and Birmingham to charity 0 soup-kitchens ? Did she cause the I, perennial destitution of Ireland ?" Or did she not rather lend herself, hand and soul, to open the path to the food of the whole world for her straitened subiects ? If these be facts, why have not the Chartists the courage to call special meetings of their own, and denounce the real authors of the misery—lay the blame of mis-government to the rightful door, and do what in them lies to get it amended ? When we say that a feeling bordering on impo- tent malevolence dictated the late disgraceful exhi- bition, we are justified by the language of gratui- tous insult, which was permitted to break out once or twice, with no other meaning and object than to mingle defiance with pretended regard. To con- gratulate her Majesty on the birth of a Prince, and to couple it with an expression of hope that at the end of her life, the Monarchical form of Govern- ment would terminate, was a sufficient key to prove both disloyalty and insincerity. It may be asked if there was any disloyalty in alluding to the distress of the country, at the period of the birth of an heir to the Throne ? and if the allusion to this distress ought not rather to be re- b garded as an implied censure against the Ministers ZD of the day ? To this we answer, that that must ( epeni altogether upon the tone of feeling which pervades the meeting, the wording of the address, if calm, respectful, and sorrowful, and moreover be clearly expressed by the orator's harmonious expo- sition of the feelings of the meetings. Had all these symptoms been continued with temperate, just, and respectful language, no disloyalty would have attached to the bare fact of lamenting the destitu- tion o e country in an address of congratulation o l s overeign, although we still question its propne y or e necessity, of uniting together two su^ect^capable of being better expressed apart. .The: working classes of MonmomhAire and the joining counties, „J1, we fte, assure(, (ake lhcse jAservations in good part.

THE JLAST "Ft A RE-UP" OFTIjfe…
THE JLAST "Ft A RE-UP" OFTIjfe BEACON. Among the Atlases which Heaven has sent into the world, to be the props of a falling age, we have especially to notice the Monmouth Beacon, whose able editor," "Greatly falling with a falling state," ceases not to protest against the national backslid- ing, with the loftiness, if not the sense, of a second Cato. If the spectacle of a great man struggling with adversity, be a sight fit for the Gods, it is, to our minds, no less sublime a spectacle to behold an illustrious ornament of letters, struggling in vain with ruthless destiny," against matter of fact. The chivalry with which a man of this stamp tries to stem the torrent of a barbarous age," and knocks his head against a post for the sake of Church and State," (and a few carnal crumbs of comfort,) has always seemed to us something super- heroic. Deeply sympathizing with this mood of mind, we lately read in our contemporary's columns, a diatribe against the inroads committed (according to him) upon the Queen's English, by a barbarous ) fellow of the name of Carlyle, who, it seems, has formed a design not only to set at defiance all clas- sical lore, but to pollute the pure well of English undefiled," by German styles, and inextricable tropes," shocking to the ear of every Alma Mater Pedagogue. Nor has the flood of barbarism stopped here— "Heu liquidis inmissos fontibus apftos Alas the wild boars have made irruption into our own clear fountains, and Pangloss, like the Shep- herd Corydon, in Virgil, hastens to chase them away from our classical columns with his pastoral crook. Having "bethundercd us" (fondroye, as the French say), for our uncomfortable though small acquaintance with the dead languages (deeper, O Beacon! thou thy plummet-line can sound) he proceeds to answer our query about emigration, by telling us to ask Mr. Jellingcf Symonds I Again, in reply to our question, how he makes out that over-production can co-exist with general want ? he asks us how people can feed npon "piled up stacks of cottons, cloths, prints, and calicoes, in place of potatoes and bread?" Wonderful Pan- gloss might they not exchange the one for the other, and so feed ? Howbeit, when next puzzled with Beacon pa- radoxes, we shall follow the popular advice of Ask your grandmother I" and seek no explana- tion from him. Likewise we have sinned in our metaphor! Mr. Carlyle excepted, it seems that "e have composed one of the choicest morsels extant of rhapsodical nonsense," symbolical of an "intended outbreak among the operatives, and incursion upon the con- sumers." Said we not truly that our Seer was prophetic, and could see double ? Perhaps he will insist that when we write, Monmouth Beacon, we mean Pangloss slop basin Tory conclave, a rotten cheese;" "able editor," "a weary knife- grinder;" with other dangerous meanings. As our meaning is suspected of being double, so also is our identity. We are not ourselves, but a dapper little occupant of a flourishing Joint Stock Bank back-parlour!" Now whilst we offer to wager a set of Tillotson's Sermons that we are taller than Pangloss !—and he is not an unportly man, we accept this flippantly-expressed miscon- ception as a compliment to our intimate knowledge of the subject of Banking, touching which, the Beacon tried lately to hoax its readers most comically.
