DOMESTIC NEWS.
DOMESTIC NEWS. The trial of Good, for the Roeliainpton murder, will take place at the coming sessions of the Central Criminal Colirt, which begin on Monday Week. It IS thought the day fixed for the trial will be either Thursday or Friday. Mr. Roebuck has addressed a lettef to his Bath consti- tuents, both electors and non-eteetors,expressing his inten- tion of visiting them, with a view 10 explain his recent votes on the Income Tax. A public meeting is to be held at the Town-hall next Wednesday. THE 9TII OR QUEEN'S ROYAL LANCERS.—There are at present not less than five hundred soldiers in Canterbury volunteers from different regiments into the ninth Roya! Lancers, which is under orders to hold themselves in readi- ness for proceeding to India by the 7th of May. Amonesi this company there are volunteers from every cavalry regi- ment but one under the Crown. About a hundred and eighty of the 29th regiment, un, der the command of Captain Drake, have marched into Hythe barracks, from Lydd, in consequence of the ship Beulah, Captain Grieves, getting on shore near Dungeness, where she now lies. They are under orders for India. VICTORIA IRON WORKS.—The announcement of the sale of the Victoria Iron Works, belonging to the Mon- mouthshire Iron and Coal Company, by Mr. Hoggart, at the Auction Mart yesterday, attracted a large assemblage, who, however, manifested but little interest. The property was put up at £ 30,000., and bought in at £ 74.000., it be- ing stated that £160,000. had been expended. We should not be surprised to hear that other "plants and valuable machinery" are coming into the market, but as we were not allowed to be present at the meetings of the Blaenavon Iron Company (held yesterday), the Rhymney Iron, or the Cambrian Iron, we regret we are not in a position to give such information as might save further loss from being sustained by extravagant management and useless expen- diture.— Mining Journal. THE CORNISH MINING. INTEREST.—The deputation appointed by the late meeting of the mining interest at Redruth are zealously engaged in London in endeavouring 10 obtain from the government a higher protecting duty for our ores than the new tariff proposes; but, from what we can learn, it does not appear that their prospects of success are very cheering. It is the opinion of sober and well-informed men, that if the new tariff remain as at present, the tin mines of Cornwall will be ruined and we, therefore, strongly suspect that some of the great mi- ners, who exerted themselves so zealously at the last elec- tion, begin to find out that they have paid too dear for their whistle. The discovery is, however, made too late; and the ruin with which Cornwall is threatened lies at their door.— West Briton. The Tories have already begun to make their appoint- ments under the Income Tax, as we find several notices of such appointments in the provincial papers received within the last few days. The Duke of Wellington and the whole of the foreign corps diplomatique, with the cabinet ministers and their ladies, have been invited to the grand banquet, in honour of the fete day of King Louis Phillippe, on Monday next, at the French embassy. The mansion, with the whole of (he costly appointments, has devolved on the Marquess of Hertford. DISTURBANCES IN NORTH WALES.—The greatest ex- citement has prevailed in Hawarden, North Wales, near ihe seat of Sir Stephen Glynne, Bart., for the last few days, in consequence of the turn-out of all the hands working in the extensive collieries of Messrs. Rigby and Hancock (a firm paying about £500. per week in wages), and the attempts of these men to cause other operatives in collieries 10 turn out and support them in what appears to be most unreasonable demands. The question in dispute is some- what of a similar nature to that between Messrs. Peto and Grissell, oPLondon, and their men, which occurred a short time ago-viz, whether the men should choose a superintendant over them, or that the proprietors of the mines should retain the undoubted right of appointing their own agents. It appears that the firm of Messrs. Rigby and Hancock is at present carried on by trustees, and that a gentleman of independent property named Staley has been appointed agent to the collieries. This gentleman, ihaving received many complaints that the coals were not properly cleared from small slack, intro- duced riddles to be used by th' colliers with larger aper- tures than those previously in use. This gave offence to the colliers, and they refused to work; they came out of the pits, and assembled in considerable numbers in the town of Ilawarden, threatening violence if the agent per- severed in introducing the obnoxious riddles. About eighty or ninety of them surrounded the door of Mr. Staley's offices, and on his attempting to take his departure, they surrounded him, and stated that they should not go to work again, unless he promised to leave the works never to return. Mr. Staley, after vainly attempling to pacify them, tried to pass through the mob to mount his horse, when he was violently seized and carried towards the rail- way formed for conveying coals to the river Dee, at Queen's-ferry. Here he was thrust into the bottom of a railway coal-waggon, and conveyed, very much bruised. along the line of rail towards the river, the ruffians on their way telling him that he had not long to live, as they in- tended to drown him in the Dee. On arriving at the Queen's-ferry they stated that his life would be spared then, but only on condition of banishment to England. He was then placed in the ferry-boat, the colliers threaten. ing vengeance if ever he dared to return. Mr. Leigh Rigby conveyed Mr. Staley in his carriage to his house at Hawardeo but in the morning three hundred colliers surrounded Mr.Rigby's house, demanding that Mr. Statey should be sent out of the country. The colliers subse- quently went to the rest of the coal-mines, endeavotiriny 10 get the colliers to strike work, and the result has been that they are now demanding higher wages. They now average from 18s. to 25s. per week a man. Four of the underground superintendents of the mines havesn.ee been compelled to leave the place from threats of violence, and Messrs. Rig by, who are away from the scene of disturbance, aie determined to support Mr. Staley, and to resis; the demands of the men. The Magistrates are on the alert to call in the military should any further violence he offered. Several houses have since been broken into, and it is ex- pected that several of the ringleaders will be taken into custody. The police force of the neighbourhood is very weak, and Mr Staley dare not enter Wales to identify his persecutors, from fear of his life. DISTURBANCE AT DUDLEY.—On Monday morning a body consisting of several thousands of nailers from the surrounding country, came into ihis town, for the purpose, as they stated, of remonstrating with the nail masters against he recent reduction in their wages, amounting to not less'lhan twenty per cent. The poor creatures appeared in a most wretched and famishing condition, many of them carrying in their countenances undeniable attestation to their declaration, that they had not faten a morsel of food for the last two days. Up to the time of the reduction the most expert men of the body could with difficulty earn four and sixpence a week each. But the proposed dimi- nution, should it take place-an event most probable, from the condition of the masters themselves- will lead to suf- fering hitherto unparallelled in this district. The magis- trates met for the purpose of consultation, after which a proposal was made 10 the hungry multitude toselecttwelve of their body to confer with their employers on the subject of complaint. It is much to be lamented that from some cause, not yet made public, this conference did not take place, as the people readily submitted to the proposition regarding it, and waited with exemplary patience the re- sult. Meanwhile, a detachment of the sixth dragoons arrived from Birmingham, and proceeded at once, with drawn swords, to disperse the people-a task they found no difficulty m accomplishing. Large numbers 01 nailers are still in the neighbourhood,and as they suspect the pro- posal for the conference was only a trick lo obtain lime to send for the troops, and are highly indignant, and the inhabitants of the town are in a state of great alarm, lest the multitude may lelurn when the military are removed, and under the influence of irritated feelings, proceed to violence. The magistrates deserve all credit for their prompt attention to dIe circumstances, but it is thought by many that matters would have ended better, had argu rent, and expostulation, with, if possible, a promise of some con- cession, been employed, before the troops proceeded to the business of dispersion. Though the town was greatly excited the shops being shut, and business entirely sus- pended, yet the assembled multitude showed no disposi- tion to riot,and an address suited to the occasion, expres- sive of sympathy with the people under their heavy suf- ferings, delivered by the Vicar, who unfortunately was on horseback among the military, would have done more to allay iriitated feelings, and to produce tranquility than any coercivfe means. Trade is in a most lamentable condition in the nelghbourhood, and an irruption of the colliers, a far more dangerous body of men than the nailers, when stimulated by the pangs of hunger, is anticipated with great alarm. Lord Western has, it is said, intimated to his tenants that, If they find emselves affected by the changes brought about by the proposed ministerial measures, he will, upon application, cance their existing leases, and ihus leave them free to enter imo fresh bargains un >er the new state of things.— Ulobe. A terrific storm of thunder and lightning broke over the villages of Banwell, Worle, and Wr.ngton, and places ad- j tcent, on Monday. The continuous flashes of the forked lightning were awlul, and we regret to say not unattended with fatal consequences, a man and two horses engaged in ploughing, a shn.t distance from Banwell, were struck by the electric fluid and mstantaneou-ly killed We see by Ihc London papers that a similar storm visited the me- tropolis, striking down a church spue, and doing other damage. During the raging of the storm on Sunday a Yoikshire vessel called the^ Royal Albert, lying 0ff Bow-creek was struck by lhe electric fluid, which first took hold of lhe topmast, shivering it to atoms, and severing the chain run- »U>n%; passed do„„ ,he mj, ,p £ "g two, and scattering the mast hoops in all directions and after wrenching the iron bands from the mast box which were twisted and broken so as to be rendered useless ii lescended to the hold, where it tore away ,he linine boa d ,„«! destroyed or damaged almost every thing in the cahm' 11imately passing out at lhe window.

"VXCE TTERUM CRISPINUS.",
"VXCE TTERUM CRISPINUS." To the Editor of the Monmoul/ishire Merlin. I Sm,—My pertinacious assailant, Air. Phillip., has ngain opened hostile columns upon me at Monmouth and Cardiff last week and as he will no doubt be a militant Minister in the MERLIN on Saturday next, you will, I trust, allow me the same freedom of field for defensive warfare, as you conceded to my opponent in his offensive campaign. The last letter of Mr. Phittips's is mainly a reitefation of his former charges, with some little special pleadings (rather adroitly (font), and a good Jeal of the Tu quoque species of rejoinder. Whether (his l:ttler line of tactics has raised him in the estimation of unbiassed readers, above his former position, or lessened his claim to moral respect in the transaction, is not for me to decide but I am quite sure that neither in style, nor spirit have I been so in- snltingly personal, or acrimonious as Mr. Phillips, although acting on the defensive. My accuser appears annoyed and in- dignant at the reasons which I have assigned for the removal of the books, which reasons he, in the peculiar blandness of man- ners, and ungentlemanly moderation of tone, pronounces effrontery," declaring that it only tends to confirm his belief in his assertions; now it is wrong to hurt the feelings of any one, particularly of those like Mr. Phillips, who are of a fasti- dious and sensitive temperament, and who of course would not for the world wound the feelings of a neighbour; but my reasons for the step 1 took were those of tru'h and soberness, and set forth in language intended certainly for the purpose of vindica- tion rather than offence Mr. Phillips may believe what he pleases,-tl,at the moon is made of cheese that the celebrated forged letter read by the Rev. McGee, at Exeter Hall, was bona fide from the Pope that Luther never said he had an in. terview with Old Nicholas, or that the three angles of a triangle are not equal to two right angles but the reasons for differing with him in opinion are not a whit weakened by his scepticism or his credulity. Mr. Phillips has syllogistically laboured to justify a line of conduct, which every liberal and unbiassed mind will view in no other than an unfavourable light, he says, either the woman's conversion has taken place since the sixth instant, or she has told a falsehood." Now, in neither case would he be justified in his endeavour to criminate me before the public,—firstly, if she is a convert, as she unequivocally de- clared herself to be, what right, I repeat it, had Mr. Phillips to interfere or to attack me,-secondly, if she has told a falsehood to Mr. Phillips, am I to be maligned publicly because my accuser is so hasty as to build his faith on a false foundation ? Mr. Phillips seems at a loss to know how to reconcile her con- version with the restoration, at the request of my superior, of books, which I have termed incorrect and mutilated, precisely on the same ground that Mr. Phillips would have to restore to its owner in foro externo, a bottle of wine, which he might have removed from him, although he knew that by drinking it so as to be inebriated, he would be guilty of sin or a sword to a per. son who was likely to injure himself therewith. Mr. Phillips feels grieved at 'he critical position in which I have placed my. self (U credat JlJdæus"), and says, could Mr. Kealy but read his thoughts, ho could have known that he hefeltfor him. What will a disre ning public think of this sympathizing gentleman, when they learn that on one or two of his visits to the woman, he used very strong though ineffectual means to induce her to prosecute me, with a view, as she alledges, he said, of my being gent out of the country. This declaration, sir, I have under her own hand, and can, of course substantiate it here is christian charity fir yoit-liere is a harmonious observance of the Ijve-one-another" exhottution of holy writ; what a transporting idea to export a Priest to the penal settlement, 0 tempora, 0 tiores How, then, I should respectfully ask can my accuser reconcile this attempt at exportation with his professed friendship and grief ? to this extent of an unholy trafic could I bpit read his thoughts, should I find this loving soul engaged I doubt not, but the public will say with me that gordius in this case, by clues unintentionally afforded, has in a great measure assisted me in untying the few ingenious knots which he so industriously laboured to tie to the Priest's pole, I will not say as his executioner. With respect to a low term, which is worthy only of the vocabulary of Billingsgate, he calls on me either to deny as I have repeatedly done, the vulgar epithet blackguard, or defend it as becoming and Priest-like will the fastidious Mr. Phillips defend the following expressions —ungentlemanly, reprobate, indignant Romanist, effrontery, unmannerly, &c., &c., as be- coming a Priest; the elegant Mr. Phillips will, I presume, de- fend all this, they being the flowrets that adorn his last philippic. My accuser boldly states that the woman assured him she was a Protestant, and had never been a Catholic I distinctly assert that this woman has unequivocally assured me of the contrary how then is the public to decide on which side the truth lies? J respectfully answer, by partly referring to the registries, to which I presume my opponent can have no reasonable objection, two at teastofher childien having been baptized in the Catholic church and besides, as before stated, thatshe has been for a considerable time under catechetical instructions by the Rev. E. Metcalfe. My accuser verbosely states his authority for visiting this woman in his clerical capacity, to be the same as that which he received 'o visit any person within the precincts of St. Woollos's, per- haps it would have been better for him had he qualified this expression what will persons of other denominations, who live within the above-mentioned precincts of this assumed authority say ? why probably nothing more or less than that it is a similar ignis fatuus, to that which codducted Doctor Alexander 'in his "commercial expedition" to Jerusalem, as a talented Journalist observes. I presume the virgilian inference ab una 'iuctoritaie disce omnes," will be admissible here Mr. Phillips says that the visiting lady, who is a minister's wife, when talk- [Ing to him on the subject, inverted the order of ocr arrival, ■ Ithough 1 know there are as many and various editions of a lale as there were colours in the coal of Joseph," yet I can- flot be so discourteous as to entertain even the remotest idea of such an inverted edition of the truth having been furnished by the lady. I should rather suspect this invertion to have been produced in some other quarter. The charitable lady will un- doubtedly remember that I was inspecting the books when she < ame to the door, where before the entered she politely saluted me. Mr. Phillips says that what I termed a little girl was certainly a boy (a girl assuredly called on me), does this look like candour, like open manly truth 1 Mr. Phillips knew then that it was but a child that called, and yet the readers of his first letter will recollect that he brought a wieghty charge against me for refusing to give up the books till the owner, viz., the husband positively refused to leave the house without them; it would be very adviseable for persons, who write much, to try 10 strengthen their memories In the first letter the public were told that the man came to the house, and yet in the second communication, Mr. Phillips asserts, from his own knowledge, iliat it was a boy, what is to be ihought of this statement 1 Either Mr. Phillips must deny all this, or acknowledge that by j he magic skill of his eye he has metamorphised a child into a man. Mr. Phillips presumes I am a young man, I hope he shall not invert the order of metamorphoses here,-is my youth a crimed if so, farewell young days, let us put on the garb of hoary time at all events, if my youth be a fault, I shall mend of it daily. Again, he asks why not give the woman what 1 deemed a correct Bible in re'urn for the spurious one which I had removed? Why not allow me time?—why threaten to prosecute me if I did not return the incorrect and mutilated one I beg to say that the whole of the P.S. of Mr. Phillips's letter, which has been furnished by the charitable clergyman alluded io, is as perfectly the antipodes of facts as are Mr. Phillips's ingenious devices, and distorted charges,[unwarranted had Mr. 1 lumps employed his time in a way calculated to confer a benefit on himself or his community, he would not find himself now labouring (like a great man struggling in adversity) to justify a line of conduct which the good, the wise, and the learned ol eveiy creed cannot but proclaim as unjust, uncharitable, and unwise. There was a lime >vhen a Catholic Priest might have been victimized by such an outcry as that raised against me, but thank God, the implacable hostility, which was frequency the oft;pring of perverted judgment, and the natural entmy to the humility of the cross, is now in this land, com- paratively powerless, intolerance is waning iti its influence, and the sun of philantrophy and dispassionate investigation has ascended the horizon. With the usual apology for this second intrusion on your valuable columns. I remain your obedient fervant, Newport, April 27th, 1842. J. KEALY.

He also said that his ligh hoc. the Chancellor of the Exchequer, would avail himelf of a bit now in p. ogress through the other house for the purpose! equah- zing the Scotch and Irish dis)i))enes.. Lord Monteagle, the Marquess of Clanricarde, and LorJ. Cloncurry repeated their objections tythe bill, whiih was rea" a third lime and parsed and the house shortly afterwttda a journed.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.—MONDAY, APRIL 25. Mr. Hume took the oathn and h:s seat for the Mont' ise dil- irict of burghs, amidst loud cheering from the Oj.positi*° benches. Mr. Pakington reported the resolutions of the Ipswkh Llc<j* tion Committee, and on the motion of the same honourable member it was ordered that a new writ do not issue for the bo* rough before this day three weeks. TIn: BALLOT. Mr. Shiel gave notice that after the Whitsuntide recess, he should move that votes at the election of members to serve H* Parliament be taken by ballot. INCOME TAX RILL. On the motion that the Speaker should leave the chair, order that the house might resolve itself into a committee 00 this bill. 0 Sir R. Peel said, as to the tariff, he adhered to all the lean* ing principles which he had announced respecting it. And be would not object, after the report on the income-tax bill, with which he proposed proceeding from day to day, to discuss the general outlines of the tariff. Mr. Hume expressed his thanks to Sir Robert Peel for the mode in which he had grappled with commercial restriction- He wished the government had done more but still it was do- ing much. He particularly regretted that a greater imprest00 was not made on the corn monopoly, the effect of which was to give the landed interest, from the public purse as much a* they would have to pay for the income-tax. The tariff, however, could never stop at the point now proposed. He had heard no reason assigned why the sugar monopoly should not be deal with similarly to other articles. As to what had been done 00 the subject of timber, he viewed it with great gratification, and expected extensive advantages from it. The income-tax, be believed, would not have been necessary if real property had been taxed equal with personal, and if an adequate retreoctt* ment were made io our establishments. The Queen had only £6:1,000. a year out of her civil list, all the rest of her income being thrown away on lords and ladies in waiting,and extiaya* gance. The distress which existed among the manufacturing population was dreadful: there were thousands and ten. of thousands depending at this moment on 4s., 5s., 6s., and's. a-week. 10 support a family with, after working from six in the morning till ten at night. Was it possible that those amongs whom such distress prevailed should be content while they 118W court revelry and every extravagance prevail amongst the pub- lie servants ? He did not wish the Queen's individual inco"1* to be lessened, because she had a smaller income th<in many 0 the peers of this country but what he objected to was to se. the Lord Chamberlain and the other public officers paid In tbl extravagant manner in which they were. He thought, fore, the time was come for doing away with some of the g0' lace. The public money ought not to be so wasted while 80 much distress prevailed among the people. On an amendment proposed by Mr. Ricardo for mitigating the tax on terminable annuities, a division took place, when the numbers were—for the amendment 117; against it 253 ma- jorilv 136. In answer to a question from Mr. Hume, Sir Robert p._l explained that as he had previously slated, he should bring forward the tariff, and obtain the sense of the bouse upon its principle, before proposing the third reading of the Income Tax Bill. After a short conversation the house resumed, the chairm.D reported progress, and obtained leave to sit again on Tuesday' The report of the Timber Ships' Bill was further considerc with the amendments. The other orders of the day were then disposed of.-Ad- journed. TUESDAY, APRIL 26. Sir J. Graham gave notice that on Thursday, the fifth of May, he would move for leave to bring in a bill to continue the Poor Law Commission for a period to be limited by P*r* hament. Mr. Elphinstone moved a resolution That the house woul at an early period, resolve itself into committee, with a view imposing on the succession to real estate a scale of legacy probate duties of the same amount as on succession 10 persona property." Mr. Hume said, it was the duty of the Government, instea" of proceeding with Ihe odious income-tax, to have inquired wba could be done by such a duty as was now proposed. The isting duty was arranged solely with a view to the protcctiO0 of the landed monopolists; it was a specimen of ciassT«g,s* lation. The resolution was negatived.—Adjourned.
