MTSCELLANY, YOUNG JUDGES—It is a curious fact that children are the best judges of character at first sight in the world. There is an old Scotch proverb—" They are never cannie that dogs and bairns dinna likeand there is not a more true one ia tht whole collection. APPROPRIATE QL AHTERS.—Two old ladies went to church a week or two ago, and were accidentally locked up for the nighl. In the morning they were found fast asleep in the Corporation pew! The parish clerk, a bit of a wag, observes, in telling the story, that they are not the first" old women" that have slept in the pew. HONEST PBHIE.If a man has a right to be proud of any- thing it is of a good action, done as it ought to be, without any base interest luikin^ at the bottom of it. IHISH :SIMPLICITy.-1\ imliiary officer, living in barracka, or- dered his servant to boil him an egg for breakfast, adding an t ( injunction to boil it soft." The officer took up the news- paper and read for ten minutes, then wondered why his egg did not arrive, and lang the bell.—My egg?"-—" I'm seeing about it, sir." Another five minutes elapsed. Where's this rSS "Not done, sir."—"Not done! do you mein to keep me waiting all day ? Bring it directly, sir." Still no egg came the bell rang once more Where is the egg 1" thun- dered the officer. Yer honor," cried Thomas in alarm, did'nt you tell me to bile it soft, sir, and haven't 1 biled it this quarter of an hour, and it isn't soft yet!" HALF-A-DOZEN DISQUALIFICATIONS FOR WHIST.—1. Chat- tering about the game intolerable, if loud and constant. 2. Going over the last deal again, the ifs I, and the if a you had, and the if be hadn't, beiog the burden of the sODg; perfect toi- ture. 3. Being eager, annoying everybody by throwing down cards violently, and adapting the action to every momentary feeling, with occasional interjections, and thus, moreover, ex- posing your own and partner's hands. 4. Being able to play but moderately, constantly attempting finesse and a deep game, and looking wondrous wise, like a monkey at draughts or back- gammon condescending at times to testify your approval of your partner's play. 5, Abusing your partner if he play badly, or you fancy so, or not the card you wanted, thereby giving pain or affront, sometimes past endurance,—ending often in some abominable, and if to a woman, unmanly insult. f\.

AFTER THE BATTL.S—Oo the close of the baitfe, about ter cetock at night, <>e were ordered to bivouack to the rioht c the road, in Wctat had been an orchard, where we mustered in companies The company to which I belonged could onl; muster ,bout fifty.feu, rank and file, although, at the comment- ipent of the engagement at Quatre-Bras on the 16th, we vve" 110 y°Jg- But i do net mean to say these were all killed o were emP>°yed to take the wounded rear, Sec. and a great many were slightly wounded who ioine, the army ,n the course ot a few weeks. Three of us ale, ZVlnd hid |t0Y,her ,bat "lght <al1 ,hree -ere from Edm' tWr^h, and had luckily escaped without a wound) but as fo. ,0Keat( haViD*° had 00 <«" !o VV» A P a 'Ie biscuit and au allowance of tiPonmT Yvfh" w,U\should g° for "a'er; the lot fel ,|j! "hout more ado, I immediately collected to?e- aer our canteens, and proceeded to the nearest farm-house wnere there was a draw-well, but, unfortunately, the rope had been cut, and a crowd of men around it, all upon the same er- rand, induced me to try elsewhere. In the dark I stumbleo j apon what I supposed to be a cattle pond at the back of tin ¡ house, and so intense was my thirst, that, without considera- tion, I kneeled down and took a good hearty draught. Not feeling anything unpleasant, I filled my canteens with it, and returned to my comrades, who drank equally satisfied onl\ one of them remarked to me that it was" awful thick How- •ver, without thinking more of the matter, we lay down to rest with one blanket under and two over us, and slept soundly till daylight next morning. Thirst again assailing us we examinee j tbe contents of our canteens by pouring a little out, but it was both thick and black. However, as my comrades remarked j 1 had got it so easily before, I might as well go again. Icon- j •anted, and took the direction to tbe aforesaid farm house bm when I came to the same place, instead of a horse or catth pond, which I expected, it turned out to be a stagnant pool, 01 what they call in Scotland a midden dam." To mend the matter, there were both dead men and horses, in ijt: some French men who had been severely wounded, in their agony, had erawled to it for the purpose of allaying their thirst, and had died in it, being unable to return. Being anxious to procure some good water, I proceeded across the plain where the French lines had been fixed during the battle, in the direction flf a no ther large building. I had not gone many yards when my ear, were assailed by the cries of the poor wounded Fiench, begging most earnestly for a drop of water, and pointing imploringly, II I their parched lips. Although ignorant ot the French language. I understood their signs but too well. What was to be donb 1 A thought came into my head—I fell to picking up all the lit. j canteens of the wounded, slung them across my shoulder, and made the bellt of my way to the farm-house. Therelwit- aeased fresh horrors. Not a hole or corncr in the whole ptac. but was crammed full of dead, and dying, or wounded one poor old solitary female was administering tc the wants of the wounded, and, when 1 arrived, she was ill the act of tying a bandage round the arm of a French grenadier. A wounded man with bis arm in a sling directed me to a pump, and with hi; one arm pumped the well until I had filled the whole of m) utensils. This place, I understand, bad been used as a sort 01 hospital the preceding day, which was the cause of the numbei •f wounded, &c., being there. Having reslung my canteens, I proceeded the same way back but I had not gone far when 1 soon hold to empty my vessels, and return again, and even a third time, when I tried to get to my regiment by a different Mute but still the same cry for water was set up around me, 80 that, when I arrived, 1 had only one cauteenful left. In the mean time the regiment moved off. I immediately picked up my arm* and knapsack, and followed tbem; and as they had not got far, I soon overtook them I explained to the serjeant ef the company the cause of my abscence, so nothing was said. OLoaiocs WOCNBS\—The sufferings of the wounded at Waterloo, as on every battle-field indeed, were very great. purtng the engagement on the 16 h, while « bugler was blow- ing a signal on bis horn to extend tiles to our right, a cannon ball fiora one of the enemy's pieces went exactly through boih his kness. It did not cany both legs away, but left them hang- ing by (he sinews. I was asked by hisconuado, a young Iild, to assiatin carrying the wounded man to the surgeons, who were Stationed without teach of >hots. I and another immediately consented, although in doing so we were disobeying orders. 1 succeeded in getting him on my back, having given my knap. saek and musket to his comrade but so terrible were the crie>- of the poor fellow, from the pain he suffered, his shairered le^s dangling against mine (although twemy-six years since, it stih makes me shudder when I think of it), that I was forced to set hia. down. I opened my knapsack, took out my blanket, laid hin. ■poa II, and, with the assistance of my comrade, carriel bin; to the hospital, where the sight I saw shocked me s'dl more There were hundreds there already waiting to be dressed; w- were told to lay him down, and he should have his turu. Bt bis turn never carce I heard next morning that he die through loss of blood as many more beside him had done (e, want of medical assistance.

THE QUEEN AND THt PRINCE, j Tha daily bulletins of the state of her Majesty's health have I been of the most satisfactory nature iodtsd it has beeo offi- j dally announced that not one unfavourable symptom had J occurred" from tbe beginning- The calls at the Palace were j very numerous, and on each day "af'er having had caudh j «erved," several of the nobility were conducted to t' a rotlh j ■vinij of the Palace io see the infant Pnnr< J Tiie provincial papers from a!' 'pails o! the couutry contaii. j iccounts of meetings and hearty deironslrations of joy at tht j urth of a Prince—so universal that it becomes needless to par- ] icularise places. The propriety of appointing some' day o general public rejoicing has been suggested. In many plrjS 01 the country subsciiptions have been commenced for the pur- J jose of enabling the poorer classes to share in the festivity oi r heIT richer neighbours. It is arranged that her Majesty will be removed to Windsoi HS eaily as can ba considered safe by the physicians, and that the infant Prince will be baptized in St. George's hall with a courtly magnificence and regal splendour unknown since the Jays of George the Fourth. A question has been asked (says the Standard), why tht heir apparent has not been crea'ed Prince of Wales in confor- mity with the usage which has conferred the title when the in j fant Prince was but four or five days old? Ihe answei -night at once occur—because the Duke of Cornwall is the iun of a Queen regnant, whose delicate state, though, thank ) God, free from suffering or danger, does not yet permit the | performance of any acts of royalty. Every Piiace of Wales Uitheilo has boea he son or grandson of a reigning king. ) rHF. RuYAt. XutisEiiv.—The apartment set apart as the ■ nursery of the infaut Prince immediately adjoins the chamber j of the Queen. The general opinion of all who have been ad- mitted to a signt of the royal infant, is that he is a finer child ( ,hau many healthy children of two months old. His features j are larger than those of the Princess Royal. The nursery breakfast is at half-past seven, and the Piince is dressed innoe- > fiaiely afterwards. The person fortunate enough to have ob. I tained the siiuation of wet-nutse is the wife of lirough, an undei servant at Claremont, 2nd was herself, before her mairiage, a housemaid in the establishment. Several persons, many ot ,vhom were ladies of ample means, were desirous of having the I lonour of nursing the Pnnce, but her Majesty expressed a wish t that the person diôcharging this office shoufd come (rom tht i CleighbourhooJ of Esher. Mrs. Brough had no idea of bem, i:hosen for the situation, but going up to London with her hil- I bind, she thought there would be no barm in presenting heiseli j it Buckingham Palace, where numerous candidates, with no I better recommendations than her own, were soliciting the ap- pointment. The Queen recollected having previously seen her, j ind the four medical men having agreed in pronouncing her to j be the most eligible person that had come before them, promised tier the situation provided the birth of the royal prince should I | >ccur within three weeks, but if the event was delayed beyond j j hat time, it was intimated to Mrs Brough that another wet i iur3e must be chosen. This was about a fortnight before the J | iccouchement of her Majesty. It is understood that the last wet j j lurse received £ 500., and it is said that on the present occasion j ill the gratuities are to be doubled in honour of tbe birth of an j j heir to tht throne.— Globe.

THE BURNLEY TRAGEDY—INQUEST…
THE BURNLEY TRAGEDY—INQUEST ON I THE BODIES. BURNLEV, WEDNESDAY.—On Tuesday se'nnight a coroner's 1 fury assembled to inquire into the death of Lieutenant William j ■iharman O'Grady, private Robert Marris (not Morris, as pre- j "iously printed), both of the 60tl: Rifles, and Isabella Iladden, | ilius lerrett. Particulars of the tragic event which caused the I i leaths of these individuals appeared in our last. 1 The first witness called was Mary Hargraves, the landlady of J the Garrison Hotel, which is close to the barrack-gate. Shr J leposed that on the night of the murder the deceased woman :ame to her house, about eight o'clock. She ran into the kitchen and appeared very much agitated. She threw herselt loto a chair and was much frightened. When she recovered she said Marris, the mess-waiter, had been ruining her, anf iad threatened to kill her. Witness told her she had no caus<- 0 be alarmed, for Marris would not hurl her; but decea-ed ,tili seemed very much agitated, and observed that Marris in- tended something serious. She got up from the chait- and asked 1 young girl, named Lord, to go home, and they both went off together. Ann Lord stated that she went with her to the barrack-Date uid then bade her good night, and in a very short time after she leard a shriek, as if some person was being beaten, and on wit- ness reaching the lobby in ihe officers'quarters she saw Marris- all dead upon the floor. 5 i a juror: Hid Mar,-is any weapon in his haod -when yet ¡:. >Ii /JIIU tall? n ¡toe,s: I (hd not seè any- l Mrs. Ann Appleton Iladden, the mother of the deceased j vorn?.Ui Was next called. Shedeposed that her husband's name vas Richard, that he had serve) as lance-sergeant in the 7th Ungoon Guards; Isabella was het daughter, and was married 'bout three years ago to a sergeant of the 97th Foot. His name is Patrick Terrett, and he is now with his regiment, which j, out of this country. Isabella was 20 ye-us of age on the 27ih .1' Aprit fast, and she is the mother of one child, which is about j wo years of age. The first time, on Sunday night, that wit- ness suspected there was something wrong, was about seven ) clock. After the mess was over Marris came into the kitchen, md he looked veiy wild. This was about eight o'clock Isa- ella was also in at the time. Witness asked what was the natter with him, and he complained of something that 1\lr, O'Grady had said to him during mess. She also asked her 1-ujsliter what was the matter, and deceased's answer was, J "That it was not fit that she and Marris should be in the same '1 jUre together." Deceased then put on hercioak and bonnet J tnd went out. Marris followed her apparently in a great rage, j ind wi;nes3 went after them and prevailed on her to return, winch she did, but almost immediately rao off again, followed jy Marris. Where they went witness did not know. Witness 'hen went into the mess-pantry, where she found Marris and rwo other soldiers. He ordered the two men out, and told them if they would come in the morning he would treat them with some ale. They went away, and he threw himself on.R bed HI a state of great excitement. Witness remonstrated with him, and asked him if he was mad. He got up off the bed, and ooking into a looking-glass, said, Do I look like a madman ?" ¡ He said he had 27s in his pocket, which belonged to a wine account, and that he would throw it over the wall in the morn- ng. He then asked witness tu come ID and close the door, but ,he refused. At this moment Mr. Hadden came up, and Marris ^aid, Let him come here, and I will smash his face for him for what he said to me this morning." Witness told him if he vas disturbed about Isabella, it was very foolish of him, tor she was mairied, and he could, therefore, neverTuve her to which he replied he was very fond of her, and If she would not hive hiin she must never have any body else. ItntSS then went into the kitchen, but returned almost immediately, and found the deceased Mr. O'Grady in the pantry remonstrating with him, and he had taken his gun from him, and was requesting him to deliver up all his arms. Marris said, What is ihe meaning of all this ?''—to which Mr. O'Grady replied, I will ct you know that in the morning." Witness did not see what Marris had in his h-ind, but he made a push at Mr. O'Grady vviih something which seemed to miss him, and he made ano. ther stab at him with the instrument. Witness heard Mr O'Grady cry out Treachery and saw him put his hand on his side and stumble into the officers' mess-room. Witness called out" Murder and went back to the kitchen, and im- mediately returned, and saw Marris lying dead in the tubby sne ran down the passage, and when she got to Mr. O'Grady's room she saw her daughier standing on the floor bleeding. Wit. acss asked what was the matter, to which deceased answered, I don t know," and then began to vomit. Witness asked who had done it, or was it Marris, and she leplied No." De. ceased remained sensible till her dealh, which occurred about twelve o'cloek, bui never gave any account of how the wounds were infliced. Marris seemed very fond of her, and often said if she would not have him he would kill both her and himself. By a juror: Did any struggle take place between Marris and Mr. O'Grady?—Witness: Not at that time. By another juror Had Mr. O'Grady any weapon in his hand ut that lime 1- Witness; No, Sir, he had uot. A Mrs. Hoimes was next esamined, but her evidence was not material. Sergeant Rooney was next called, and deposed to the finding of a Ltrgecarving knife in the lobby, nor the spot where Marris ftil. It was very much bent, and stained with blood. In other respects his evidence was not material. Lieut. Charles William Hamilton Solheby, of the samecorps, •jas sworn, and after corroborating some of the previous evi- dence, stated that he was in the mess-room with Major Cock- burn and the assistant, when Mr. O'Grady came in with his hand upon his leftside, and exclaimed, "Oh, major, Mairis has murdered me." Private Reubun Laking, of Hie 6Uth Rifles, was called iu and examined.

But the aim of the incendiar) not being well taken, it Tell at the feet of a sentry on duty, who immediately communicated the circumstance to the authorities; and they are in possession, as we are informed, of a portion of the destructive ^missile. But what makes ibis circumstance the more extraord.nary ix, that a similar combustible ball, was tbrcAvn on the same morning at the barracks behind the National Gallery, at Charing-cross. Tt was fortunately discovered in lime to prevent the inten- tion of the incendiary from taking effect. The authorities at the Horse-Guards were occupied during the whole of Wednesday, |i« endeavouring to discover facts tending to elucidate this roysterioui occurrence but wiih no success. Tiie information was then conveyed to Colonel Howan, oi the Metropolitan Police, who is now engaged ill investigating the circumstance; and it is to be hoped I that the perpetrators of the outrage will shortly be in the hands of justice. A great deal of secrecy is observed on the subject, in older that the ends of justice may not be frustrated; and the impression that now prevails, is thai the fire at the Tower H London was not accidental but may be traced to the same atch incendiary who endea- voured to destroy the Horse-Guards and th» Charing-cross Barrack 011 the morning of Wednesday last. Several persons have been examined, but as yet no light has been thrown upon the affair, which remains involved in the deepest mystery. But it is clearly to be seen that a design is entertained by some diabolical incendiaries to destroy the great public buildings of the metropolis. Tire soldier at the Horse Guards, at whose feet the combustible bali fell, did not observe any person in the street by whom the missile appeared to have been thrown; but, in the alarm and confusion which so mysterious an occurrence may naturally be supposed to have created in his mind, it is possible that the incendiary escaped before he was looked after. There can be no doubt but that, had the ball taken effect, the Horse-Guards would have been destroyed.—The above information is derived from autho- rity, upon which we have the firmest reliance.—Planet. FIRL AT WOOLWIC H DOCKYARD.—About half-past three on Saturday morning police-constable 291 It., who was On duty at the western end of the dockyard, adjoining Charlton-pier, discovered flames issuing from a wooden building, in which Mr. Grant's patent fuel for steam-boats was prepared. He instantly gave an alarm by sprhginti his rattle. An express having been sent off to the police in the town, as well as to the garrison, the drums beat, bugles sounded, the fire-bells were rung, soldiers were seen marching from all quarters, and the alarm speedily spread throughout the town. Inspector Robinson, who was on duty at the Dockyard, mustered his men, and proceeded, In company with a detachment of the 15th Foot, to the spot, taking one of the small dockyard engines along with him. Unfortunately the engine was in such baa repair that it broke down upon the road. On arriving at the spot the flames were bursting from beneath the flue used to amalgamate the ingredients of the patent fuel, threatening, ffom the combustible nature of the material, to demolish a brick building and an extensive smythy adjoining. A small engine, known as the West Pump engine, wasbioughi up and got to work, but little good was done; consequently two engines from the Sappers and Miners'Barracks, one from the Marines, and another from the artillery, were brought to bear upon the flaming building, a good supply of water being obtained from the basin. By dint of great exertions the smith^ and-engine house were saved, but the building where the fire first broke out was burned to the ground in less than an hour. As morning broke a gang of 150 convicts were set to work, and before many hours had elapsed all trace of the building or of the catastrophe was removed. During the dense fog that prevailed a boy belonging to a collier lying off Woolwich feii into the basin and was drowned. A seaman was also hurt. This is the second time that the building in which the patent fuel is prepared has^been destroyed. TORQUAY.—We noticed in our last that on the 5th ins', a fire broke out on the premises of Mr. Callard,ol Upton, which, however, by the exertions used I was confined 10 the dwelling-house, without injuring the out-house and barn, a short distance off, in which were deposited a con- sideiable quantity of wheat. On the following Tuesday it was discovered that these out-buitdir.gs were on fire, and in a short time they were totally destroyed. There is> little doubt of this being the vvoik of an incendiary,— Western Times. DiiiFriFLo.—On Sunday morning last about half-pasi six o'clock, a hay-stack, belonging to Mr. William Gore, of the New Iioad Tavern, was discovered to be on fire and, on account of the hiiih state of the wind at that time, before the fire engine could be procured and bro'i Jit into active operation, the fire had gai .ed such an ascendancy t'pat.ihs stack was completely destroyed. ¡' n._On tTiO) nigtit of .»WRrtnesda$j, the 3rd Inst. Mr. M. Loughery, or Bin ion, parish of Clonmany, wa- roused by a knocking at his door, and persons shoutinu i that the ytack-yard was on fire, He immediately collected his servants and ran out, when he found a great number of country people assembled, who did all in their power to render assistance, but in vain, as the fire had gained too jreat an ascendancy. No fewer than eiaht stacks of oats, containing upwards of nine hundred siooks, two stacks of hay, and a stack of drawn straw fell a prey to the devour- 109 element. The burning must have been malicious, from the fact that the whole of the stacks were found to bf on fire at the same time and from the distance they stood from each other the fire could not have communicated from one to another. The hay-stacks were in a separate haggard, and must also have been set on fire by some incendiary.— J)erry Sentinel. HIGHWAY ROBBERY AND ATTEMPT AT MURDER, AT TUR.NHAM-GREEN.—On Friday se'nnight the neighbour- hood of Hammersmith and Turnham-green was thrown into a state of indescribable alarm, by the circulation of a report that a gentleman, named Parr, residing at Turnham- green, whde returning home from towu, had been waylaid by some ruffians, who, after robbing him of a considerable sum of money in gold, with other property, had wounded him seriously, and, effecting their escape, had left him for dead in the road. On inquiring at the wounded gen- tleman's house, the report turned out to be too true. He was attended by Mr. Dodworth, the surgeon, who would not suffer the policeman to disturb him with inquiries, but who stated that be had gathered the following particulars of the murderous outrage :-Shortly after eight o'clock on Friday se'nnight, Mr. Parr, who is an extensive coal- merchant, returned fiom town by an omnibus, alighting near the Roebuck Tavern, about a quarter of a mile from his residence. From that spot he walked on the south side of the high road towards his house, intending to call in at the shop of a hairdresser on his way but, on arriving at the shop, he found a number of people were in it and he in consequence proceeded on his way home 'The road, owing to the discontinuance of the gas-lamps, was pait.cu arly dark so that he did not perceive any uerson either following him or watching him, but immediately! »s he had passed the private road of the Duke of Deronshirp and was passing a stile about eighty yards off the Ba ev' MowpubHc-house, he was suddenly se,zed from beh id ms arms being pinioned, while at the same instant TS' kerchief was thrust into his mouth with great force He dlalet kno'S 1 "Uh i'J £ diatey Knocked down, falling on his back.

V however in a few minutes recovered his senses, and, although very' weak was enabled to crawl home, when he immediately sent for a surgeon. Mr. Dodsworth states that the instru- ment had passed through a thickly-wadded greatcoat, a body coat and waistcoat, and would no doubt have occa- sioned instant death had not the point struck against a spectacle case in Mr. Parr's waistcoat pocket, by which its course was diverted, and it entered his body just under the short ribs, inflicting a wound about an inch and a half deep. Sergeants Reynolds and Hancock were actively engaged in endeavouring 10 trace the villains on Saturday.

PRINCIPALITY INTELMOENOE. j NEATH TOWN»HALL, FRIDAY, NOV. 12, 1841.—Magistrate* present, Frederick Fredr.cks, Howel Gwyn, and Griffith Llew- ellyn, Efqrs.—DisruTEt FISHERV.—Win. Evan, of Aberpei- (jwm, was summoned by Mrs. Vaughan, of Rheola, for attempting to take fish m the River Clytha, on the 2nd instant. Mr. Cuthbertson Appealed on behalf of the prosecutrix, anri \lr. William IJewpliynfst the request of Willism Williams, Esq,) on that of the defendant. 1 he present charge ar^se ir consequence of both Mrs. Vaughan and Mr. Williams claiming right of fishery in a certain part of the Hiver Clytha. Mr. Cuthbertson, r-ri iieiiaK of Mrs. Vaughan, fully described tht disputed part, and called John Morgan to give evidence of his having seen defendant attempt to take fish therein with a spear. Mr Llewellyn here observed, that the point in question was not within the jurisdiction of ihe Magistrates, and that, should they think proper to entertain it, he was instructed by Mr. VV'il'iains to say that the matter would not rest here, as the defendant had gone fishing as above stated at the express request of Mr Williams, for the purpose of rousing Mrs. Vaughan to oorameuce the present proceedings, with a view of ascertaining, through the decision of a superior Court, to whom the right belonged. The Magistrates accordingly declined to interfere and dismissed the complaint.—Mrs. Jones, of Forchgoch, was I charged by William Williams, Esq., of Aberpergwm, with having unlawfully made an arrangement with one Llewellyn I Williams, of the parish of Glyncorwg, against whom a warrant I '■■sad been granted for having assaulted her. Mrs. Jones, in her defence, stated that she had been frightened into the arrange- ment by threats used towards her by Llewellyn Williams, and others. The Magistrates severely reprimanded Mrs. Jones, anI aftorw3"ds issued fresh process against Williams for his share in the affair.—Cambrian. 'I LI.ANBADARS-FAWR.—HOLI.ANTIOE CATTLE FAIR.—Ihe show of cattle here surpassed that of any former year, both in number arid quality. There were some from considerable dis- tances—from near Aberayron in one direction, and from the breeders of Montgomeryshire in another. There was a sub- scription entered into for the purpose of forming a sweepstake? for the fattest beef; the beast lo be bred in the county of Car- digan, and to be the property of a subsrriber or his tenant, six i months at least before the fair. Three judges to be appointed by the majority of the subsciibers. The judges on the present t occasion were Mr. Marshall, of Belle Vue, Mr. Claridge, sen.. and Mr. Owen. of Gelly, who in the course of the afternoon j awarded the first prize to Mr. Wheeler, of Ashford, and the second to Mr. James Davies, of Trevechan. We are glad to j find that the subscribers intend to continue their annual contrU j butious, and to render their co-operation as useful as possible, a j committee of the principal members (with John Hughes, Esq., solicitor, chairman, and Mr. Richard James, secretary) has been appointed for furthering the interests of this embryo agri- cultural society. There was a substantial dinner at Mr. Evan Killin's, which reflected great credit upon the purveyor. From what we can understand it is the intention of the committee tc call the attention of the subscribers to the propriety of extend- ing their attention to other branches of agriculture. We have heard the subject of draining mentioned. This is a branch ot husbandry very little understood, and still less prevalent in thif neighbourhood and we should say that the very first objects ol ¡ an agricultutal association, on however limited a scale, should be the encouragement of draining, without which all other im, provements on land are comparatively futile. There is DOi I sufficient corn now grown in Caidiganshire for Ihe consumption of its inhabitants, as we are constantly importing at Aberystwith and other ports. Nearly a thousand quarters of corn have been imported to the port of Aberystwith alone within this last month (to say nothing of the enormous importation of the last and pre- ceding years.) We undertake to assert that every penny which ihe above corn has fetched wouid have been now in the pockets "f our landlords and farmers, instead of going out of the country, if a proper system of husbandry were introduced into this neigh. bourhood. Captain Charles Clarke, of the Plymouth Divison of Royal Maiines, has succeeded to the command of the Recruiting Party at Swausea, vice Edwards promoted to the rank of Lieut.Co. I ionel.

ANOTHER WAR NTS G FOR MONOPOLY?
ANOTHER WAR NTS G FOR MONOPOLY? THE BRAZILIAN TREATY. If it were possible for monopoly to crush the commerce and manufactures of Great Britain, their decline and tali would not take place without solemn and repeated warnings. Tht departments of manufacture carried on in this workshop oftht world, and the large number of separate and individual state; which are its customers, do not tell their story at once, Firs; íu slow, aad theu in rapid succession-first in remonstrance, and then iu actIOn-first in diminished importation, and then iD cessation, aatioa after nation withdraws from tl mart whert it is willing to buy, but caaaot sell or if strong self-interesi should still lead it there, instead of the manufactured material, it purchases the half-manufactured, or swells the amount of it? transactions in the import of machinery, for the purpose of slili further dispensing with the former. The history of our com- merce since the war teems with such records in every page. As if determined to repel the trade of all Europe, we have either excluded their products by sliding scale, or loaded them with high fixed duties, from the corn of Russia to the oil ot Italy, and provoked the reprisals of high tariffs and commercial leagues. Scarcely had a war ceased that was carried on in the two hemispheres, than we passed a law which excluded the productions of both, while it retarded the naiiona! recovery, which drove the continents of Europe and America to manufac- ture for themselves, and sowed the seeds of decay in the reil prosperity of our manufactures. The exports of woollens it the comment of Europe, the interest so important as to have its symbol in our government ins'guia, declined, how consider* bly the recent address from the Leeds manufacturers tells ai.< in the cotton manufacture, in velveteens, and other important articles, the falling off was as evident. The increase in th, consumption of the raw material was cllleflyabsorbed in ti;>. production of yarn for foreigners to weave, and the silk manu- facture was following ia the train of the others, until 1\1.. Huakisson's measures averted its downward progress. If praLL were wanled of the evils of monopoly, every year has been ful: of them. During the present, the intense discussion which haf prevailed has brought a hundred new facts to bear against it By false friends within, by bitter and determined foes without, it has been assailed with a vigour which only shows how deep the stake which lies in victory or defeat. During the past week we have had another warning, anc from another quarter—from one of our best markets, the Brazils It appears that our commercial treaty expires during the coming year, and that there is little chance of its being renewed in its Sresent slate, so long as we persist in our determination to buv ttle or nothing in a market where we sell so much. From i- country to which we export £3,000,000 in manufactures, ou legislators will only allow us to receive a comparatively srnsl amount ot cotton wool and coffee, if brought by a long ant circuitous route. The staple of the country we utterly exdudt from consumption. It requires little foresight to see that ? fteree struggle is approaching upon this subject, as manufac turers will not tamely endure the injury to so important a brand •f the trade. Now we do protest against the solemn cant which has beei \i r "p°r th'8 P°ial' bo,h by 'h* mistaken friends and de- cided foes of reform in our commercial and political institutions We are called upon to deliberately sacrifice our best interests, that we may not encourage slavery—that we may not consumJ !he product of slaves, a thing we are already compelled to di wvery day, or destroy our national existence. We import 111 least the valueof £ 15,000,000. in cotton and tobacco, raised en tirely by slaves. In this particularinstance we recetveslave gio vi; C0ti0D, & manufacture it into goods intended lo clothe slaves -v( receive sugar lo refiae Jt for tbe consumption of Englishmei abroad and ia our colonies, and our ships convey it tor (host who use it raw on the continent.

Looking at the prodigious extent and surprising rapidity of the works nearT^nnton, little doubt can bt felt that the hit? will be perfected from Bricigewater to Taunton by the time stated- June next. SOUTHAMPTON DOCKS.—The walls of the tidal, or outer dock, 1,200 yards round, [lave all the foundations laid, and are raised to about 25 feel high, except about no yards oil the south side of the entrance from the river j Itchen: and all the excavations of this dock, container- j 1G acres, ate completed, with the exception of as mut', earth, it is said, as will be wanted to fill in behind the walls. The inner dock is not yet begun. At one time near 2,000 men were employed upon these works; and within abuut twelve months 200 acres of land have been < wres'ed from the dominion of the waters, and converted to purposes which we hope will be profitable to the Share- holders. We understand that already the Royal West In- dia Steam-packet Company's vessels have determined to use them. It is, indeed, expected that the docks will act as beneficially upon the rising trade of Southamp- ton, as this will react upon them. Two great features of these dock are, the complete manner in which they are landlocked and sheltered on all sides; and the depth of water at the entrance from the Itchen, which, we are in- formed, is 18 feet at the lowest state of tide, thai is at ebb spring-tide. The nates at the entrance are 130 feet wide; steam-vessels, therefore, of almost any size, can enter and ride in security at all limes and seasons.—Railway Ga- zette. The works at the Plymouth LJ.eakwaUr are to be put a ■stop to at once, in consequence of a want of funds. Nearly two hundred hands will be thrown out of employ. All 'he public works, also, that are not urgently necessary, wili be stopped until such time as the amount of the reve- flue shall appear to equallhat of the expenditure. The statement of the n* Post, telative to 1hr, resignation of Lord Abinger, is co: The arrivals at Bath are numeiu., :sidences are in such request, as to present cheering anticipations of the coming season. Last week, about 130 agricultural labourers, dairy women, Sec., left their homes at Bridgwater, and its neigh- bourhood, for Australia. [t is generally believed in London that Mr. Beaumont Smith will be admitted Queen's evidence in the Exchequer, But affair, and that many disclosures have been made that will implicate other paities besides those who are already in custody.

We have been informed, on good authority, that the Britannia, a fine vessel of 1,400 tons burden, sailed from Rotterdam about the 29th of October, for the coast of Africa, She was to purchase of the King of Ashantee, one thousand biacks, to reinforce the Dutch troops in the island of Java, and was to take in fifty soldiers at anothei place as a guard. We mention this fact with great pain, but we shall probably find another opportunity of expres- >tn^ our sentiments on it.-Anti-Slavery Reporter. About eleven o'clock on the night of Wednesday last, i Irench lu^er, with 280 tubs and ten men, was off the Wlit.e Clitts, Bambridge, with the intention of landing her cargo on that part of the island; but in consequence of the awiul gaie blowing at the tii^e, it-was quite impossible 'or them eiliier to make the sho.e in boats, or to continue cruising, and they were pnder tb £ necessity of running on shore, immediately under the 4>re4)eMiVe statioj, but in consequence vf ?li»r«I>trKn«rs c/*»tre nr'ghr, ibc'yHvere urn- observed; and although the vessel was made a complete wreck, the daring crew contrived to secure 170 tubs 01 their contraband goods, and made off with them. It was not until seven o clock on the following morning? that iiie coast guard officers observed ihe vessel, and secured tbe remaining one hundred and ten tubs. The ctew escaped. — Hampshire Telegraph. STEALING THREE POTATOES.— Mr. William Jeffries a farmer at Barford, having an especial regard for the inte- rests of the parishioners, and a kindly sympathy for the poor, pulled up before the magistrates, on Saturday last, an unhappy half starved man,named Thos.Minney, charged wiih taking three potatoes from his premises. The man ,d.n,tied that he took the three potatoes in the day time, whilst the servant was looking out through the wmdow He had a family of SIX etuidren. Of course, as the case was brought Into court, the magistrates were obliged to take cognizance of II, and the man was sentenced to be committer or ria at the sessions, whereby he would be T' i° "° mon,'ls 'mprisonment before lie could be arTl nrrv-pCC"i" ,VV al 'he expense of keeping him M wif?

Lady Dorothy .le J une> in the year 1584,and though 257 years have apsed since her interment, the hair was found lo be un- decayed, and firmly adhering to the bone of the skull. In lhe air there were a half dozen pins in a excellent state of preservation. Through the kindness of a gentleman, we ave Seen 0n^ of these pins. The head is constructed and Put on in the same manner as at present, and the size is at of middle sized common pin, the greater distance torn the pomt at which it begins to taper off, being the only thing to distinguish it from a pin of modern manu- acture.— Derbyshire Chronicle. Our readers will well remember the dreadful cases of poisoning children, which were tried at the last assizes for Cheshire, when Robert Sandys was found guilty of poison Ing his own child. The case stood over for the opinion 0' the judges, on an objection raised by Mr. Weisby, and sentence was accordingly deferred. Twelve of the judges met on Saturday last, at the Exchequer Chamber, and after bearing the arguments of Mr. Weisby in favour of the objection, and 1\1 r. Townsenù in support of the indictment, unanimously decided that the indictment was correct; and the pnsoner, Robert Sandys, therefore, now stands con- victed of murder, and will recaive sentence at the next assizes. A fire look place in the stables down the South Hetton PIIt, on Monday night last, by which ten valuable horses were killed. The fire was got under on the following day, and the pit commenced working again on Wednesday. It is supposed the fire was occasioned by some persons leav- ing an oil lamp burning on the corn-chest in the stables — northern Advertiser.

The fol- lowing is a copy of the inscription :—" Presented (A.D. 1841) 10 the .Hon.lr, Berkeley by some ladies, in token of their ap* piobation, in that the Hon. G. Berkeley, M.P., advocated ineir claims to admission to hear the debates in the House of Commons, and obtained by a majority of 153 to 104 a resolu- tion that Ladies should have access to a Gallery.
