UTIKIE WJEIROWU FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER, 8, 1843. CAPTURE OF REBECCA—CONFLICT BETWEEN THE REBECCAITES & THE CIVIL AUTHORITIES, NEAR SWANSEA. On going to press our active correspondent at Swansea, reached our office, having posted from Cowbridge, in order to furnish us with particulars of a most important and startling event, which took C, place, on Thursday morning, at Pontardulais, near t, Swansea, and which is calculated to have a most salutary moral effect on the misguided men, who tire all endurance, outrage all common sense and legal forbearance, by their now wanton and atrocious nocturnal outrages against peace, law, and order, in the counties of Carmarthen and Glamorgan. As long as the Rebeccaites had oppressions to complain of, grievances to be redressed, and had been driven to the ultima ratio rerum, from despair, in the hope-deferred of an invocation to jus- tice, we were to their faults a little blind but the moment we found that the government had deter- mined to right their wrongs, in the abatement of toll exactions, and that the local authorities had unequivocally evinced their honest determination to shield the poor from the plunder and the impo- sitions of fraudulent lessees, we trusted that the proverbial steadiness and rationality of the Welsh character would have led back the people to pur- suits of peace and industry. Such, however, un- fortunately has not been the case; emboldened by former triumphs, Rebecca and her Children," have not ceased their midnight outrages, even after the casus belli had been withdrawn, and in the reck- less exultation of physical force, they have conti- nued their depredations. But not having an instant for comment, we hasten to give the intelligence of our correspondent:— Private information whs received of a contem- plated attack on the Pontardulais turnpike gate, within nine miles of Swansea, and about four miles from Penllergare, the residence of Mr. John Dillwyn Llewellyn, a magistrate of the county, possessed of considerable landed property, and a gentleman who has taken a very active part, not only in the sup- pression of the outrages, but who is admitted to be one of the foremost in the proceedings recently in- stituted for the punishment of those unprincipled persons, who, by their plunder of the poor traf- fickers on the road, had brought themselves under the inflictive operation of the law. Mr. Llewellyn and Mr. Llewellyn Dillwyn, in conjunction with Mr. Matthew Moggridge, (magis- trate of this county,) adopted such means as were deemed best to prevent the success of the intended attack. These three gentlemen immediately put themselves in communication with Capt. Napier, chief constable of the county of Glamorgan, and Mr. Superintendent Peake, aided by six of the county police, and the whole party, only eleven in number, by extreme caution, much adroitness, and tact, succeeded in placing themselves in ambush without exciting the suspicions of the Rebeccaites and in accomplishing this, there was considerable difficulty. Previously to the march of the toll- house destroyers, three rockets were discharged, one from Penllergare, one from near Swansea, and one from the neighbourhood of Llanelly the first indicating that all appeared safe at the squire's, the second, that the dragoons were not stirring from the town, and the third, that all was right at Llanelly. Becca and family, thinking from these bright signs it, the sky, that there was a clear stage, rushed from the hills, and swept like a torrent over the plains, little dreaming tfct the Philistines were out, or that, as they say, the wolf was on the walk." At about five minutes to one o'clock, yesterday morning, (our informant is precise) the staff of the Carmarthenshire Cossacks appeared before the door of the Red Lion Inn, Pontardulais, and invited out Mr. Griffith Vaughan, the young landlord, who was reckoned a sympathiser in the cause," with the most loud and the most discordant noises, but the Boniface was not to be thus charmed, and he remained at home in allegiance to her Majesty, and in affection to his family. Shortly after this, the Pontardulais gate submitted to the levelling system, and the Rebeccaites, flushed with success, then commenced to pull down and to destroy the toll-house, which being a felonious act, out rushed the little band of heroes, armed to the teeth, headed by the magistrates before mentioned, and a serious battle ensued. Mr. Lewis Llewellyn Dillwyn hav- ing discharged his pistols, sought a leading captive, and at once singled out Rebecca. The struggle between the combatants was extremely violent, but he that was armed with the law, overcame his op- ponent, and the magistrate having wrenched a heavy club from the strong hand of the Guerilla chief, laid him prostrate, and on his arising, one of the policemen who came up during the rencontre, shot and wounded him by a pistol, and secured him as a prisoner. This is said to be the man who led the disgrace- ful attack on the house of the agent of Mr. Reece, Goring Thomas, at Llanon, and for whose capture the government offered a reward of five hundred pounds, The mele then became general, and severe pu- nishment was mutually inflicted the belligerents fighting foot to foot, and dealing out wounds which will long give marked evidence of the event. At the hottest period of the strife, the two eldest sons of Col. Cameron, of Danygraig came up in gallant style and took an intrepid part in the affray. The Rebeccaites, finding their opponents reinforced and acting with determination, commenced a retreat, carrying their wounded with them, and leaving three of their number, (one of whom is severely handled) prisoners in the hands of the victors. The soldiers, from Llanelly, were by this time approaching Pont- ardulais and met the fugitive Rebeccaites on their Way, and in order to ascertain who they were, they took a sample of four or five of the fugitives. The military, from Swansea, were also soon m the neigh- bourhood of Pontardulais, and escorted .the civil power back to town. Ti-,11 Mr. Lewis LI. Dillwyn hastened to Sketty Hall, to annouce the result of the movement to Mr. Dillwyn, senior. • The neighbourhood of Swansea was excited in the highest degree when our reporter left.
OFFICERS AND MEN.
NEWPORT DOCK.—At a special general meeting of the proprietors of this undertaking, Reginald J. Blewitt, :Esq., M.P. in the chair, the following resolutions were carried Unanimously —" That the following recommendation of the committee be confirmed, viz., that the inward and outwaid charge upon vessels entering or departing in ballast, having entered with a cargo, or departing with a cargo, be dill,cootinued from the 4th September inst." The meeting was adjourned to 'be 3rd of October. nn WESTMINSTER HOSPITAL SCHOOL OF ME- toiciNK.—We would direct attention to an advertisement which •Ppears in another column, having reference to the Wes.mms ter Medical School. This announcement claims the particular a"ention of those who seek an eligible opportunity of snpenoi Medical instruction. Amongst the number of public inslitu- *»on. and schools this presents the important featu.e, thai.U Arrangements exclusively afford an opportunity (and for the firs. «n»e in Uiis country) to the diligent and well conducted student of obtaining the valuable appointment of home surge.n and c|i»iCal degrk without expense.

CAUTION TO HOUSEHOLDERS.—Household- ers are cautioned to be upon their guard against a woman going about offering lace for sale. She contrives to see the servants, and offers the temptation to them in exchange for empty battles. We know of one household in this town which has been robbed through this nefarious traffic to the extent of three large ham- pers of empty bottles, at least. CRICKET.—On Wednesday last was played the conclusive match between the Pontypool club and the officers of the 73rd regiment. The day was well selected it was beautifully fine, and the Usk exhibited on either side of its banks, upon this occasion, two enlivening and interesting spec- tacles on one side were the labours of gallant steeds and the cheers of their admirers; on the other, the friendly strife of sinewy men, encouraged by the smiles of beauty, and animated by the loud-pealing music of the excellent band of the 73rd. Not only were most of the celebrated belles of the town and neighbourhood on the ground, but also many elegantly-dressed ladies from Clifton, Pontypool, and elsewhere. The silvery Usk seemed proud of the gay assembly, as his waters heaved with pride between the rival attractions. The crowded state of our columns this week, compels us, without further preface, to proceed to the score OFFICERS AND MEN. 1st innings. 2nd innings.

Early in the morning, flags and banners were seen floating from the windows of the lodge loom, and gave intima- tion to the inhabitants that the monotony which has recently so characterised our town, was about to be disturbed. Consider able inteiest has been excited throughout the neighbourhood by the rapid advancement which this admirable institution has made in public opinion. Crowds of persons assembled in the streets to witness the procession of the membars going to chutch. At half-past eleven they set out, preceded by a most efficient band, which was headed by the constitutional banner. The various officers wore their full official costume, which, together with the splendid golden regalia, formed a very imposing ap. pearance. The procession was marshalled and conducted by P.G. E.O. Samuel Jones. The Rev. H. Peake preached a very admirable sermon from Hebrews 13th c., 1st v.—" Let brotherly tove continne." After clearly explaining what was the scriptural meaning of brotherly love, he drew a beautiful picture of what society would be were all to dwell together in unity j such a state of society would soon be presented to the world if we would but imbibe the religion of Jesus, which is a religion of love. The rev. gentleman then exhorted them to perseverance in csrrying out the objects for which they were united in a fraternity, and particularly dwelt upon the pleasure and gratification they must experience in being able to afford such liberal support to their sick and distressed friends: he did not forget that prominent feature of Oddfellowship, the relief rendered to the widows and orphans of their deceased members, and concluded a very impressive discourse by urging his hearers to walk worthy of their vocation. Mr. Howells, the organist, kindly presided at the organ. On the return of the procession, they perambulated the town. At 3 o'clock, they sat down to dinner, to the number of 81. The host did himself great credit by the excellent dinner he provided. The dessert and wines were very choice. When the cloth was removed, P. G.Chartes Richard Phillips was called to the chair, the duties of which he ably fulfilled. The first toast was that which every Briton will respond to with a right good will-The Queen afterwards The Prince of Wales, the echo of which was worthy of the men who formed the Cymreigyddion Society. Prince Albert I and the rest of the Royal Family. The next was the toast of the order, The Manchester Unity of Oddfellows, which was suitably introduced by very apt observations from the chair, on the utility of the order, and the importance which it assumes among kindred institutions. The Army and Navy: Mrs. Wheeley and the ladies of Abergavenny The Visniog Friends. Thia was eloquently acknowledged by Mr. Tozer. Several ad- mirable songs were sung the evening passed off pleasantly, and the party separated at an early hour. TRIBUTE OF RESPECT.—In consequence of our old friend, Mr. James Hawkins, of Monmouth, being about to decline housekeeping. a large party 01 his fellow-townsmen and friends invited him to a dinner yesterday week, for the purpose of evincing their respect for his character, and to unite their wishes for his continued prosperity. The dinner, which was held at Mr. Hawkins' house, was served by Mr. and Mrs.Evans, the worthy host and hostess of the White Swan, and was ex- cellently furnished. Mr. Thackwell presided, and Mr. Avery acted as vice. The warm expressions of attachment and good will, on the part of the company, towards their venerable guest, were feelingly responded to by our veteran friend, who, during a lengthened series of years has, by his kindness of heart and consistency of character, won the general esteem of his fellow citizens. A very convivial evening was spent by thtr assembled party, and amongst the songs which interspersed the happy hours, was a parody on The Old English Gentleman," corn- posed for, and sung on. the occasion by our facetious fiiend the chairman, which drew forth continued cheering. MONMOUTH.- Caution to Auctioneers and Itine- rant Tradesmen.-On Monday last, the lovers of "bargains" in our county town were accommodated to repletion, at a sale by auction of dwpery, the property of a house at Hereford. Our friends, the woithy resident drapers, feeling that their craft was in danger," engaged the services of one of their bre- thren, learned in legal lore, who. with his usual astuteness, dis- covered that parties selling their goods at any other town than that of their own residence, by retail auction, either by them- selves or by a resident auctioneer in such town, are liable to a hawker's and pedlar's license, and acting without which, they incur a penalty of j650. An application was accordingly made to the Mayor on the subject, who decided that the above was the correct exposition of the 7th section of the Act referred to, and that the penalty should be enforced if the parties continued their tIIle. The applicants stated that they had no wish to pro- cure punishment for their unfair rivals, but to prevent a repeti- tion of the annoyance. Obedience was promised to the mayor ■ orders, and the goods were soon taken back to their legitimate quarters. SERIOUS ACCIDENT.—On Saturday evening last, a painfbl accident occurred at Monmouth to a son of Mr. Cos- tens drueeeist • lad about nine years of age, in the follow- ing mannerf A cart load of coal, belonging to Mr. Metcalfe, surveyor, had just been removed, and the lad in charge of the horses was proceeding from the house, with a son of Mr. Met. calfe, in the cart, when from some unexplained cause, the horse took fright, and dashed off with terrific speed, overturning the boy who was at its head, and who fortunately escaped with a slight graze of the heel. The terrified animal continued its ca. reer through Church-street and Agincourt-square, where Mas- ter Cossens, who was riding a donkey, heanng its approach, attempted to get out of the way, and had partly dismounted for that purpose, but not having time, he was thrown by one of the wheels of the cart, which, first passing over a stone, tilted on his right thigh, breaking the bone. The little sufferer was imme- diately borne to his home, where the fracture was speedily set, by G. Wilson, Esq., under whose care the poor child is doing well. The horse continued its course to the centre of Monnow- street, where it was stopped, having most fortunately escaped collision with a pair of trucks in the narrow part of the street, which, otherwise, must have been dashed into one of the adja- cent shops. Mr. Metcalfe's son, quite a child, retained his po- sition in the cart, and was taken out unhurt, although paralyzed with fright. Most providentially no other accident occurred than the one detailed. Although the precise cause of the horse's taking fright is unknown, yet it was no doubt connected with the highly reprehensible and dangerous practice of driving horses witbeut blinds for the eyes. CASE OF STABBING.-On Monday last, a cow- aidly miscreant, named James Winyard, was charged before the mayor of Monmouth, with having slabbed a man, named James Berry, on the preceding Saturday night. Considerable interest was excited in the enquiry, both from the gross nature of the outrage, and the fact that the life of the wounded man was despaired of. Several witnesses were in attendance, but, as the precarious state of Berry rendered an adjournment ne- cessary, the depositions of the surgeon, Mr. J. M. Woollett, of Policeman Evans, and that of a respectable young man, named Daniel Williams, who was attracted to the scene of the assault which was the kitchen of the Golden Ball, public. h use hy a great noise which preceded it, were alone taken. F°ora' Williams's statement, it appeared that the prisoner, Winvard was quarrelling with an uncle of the injuredJhan named John Berry, about cards, during which, Winyard in- duced in the coarsest reflections upon Berry s wife. 1 hey ul- timately stood up to fight, when John Berry inteifered to pre- umateiy stooui y » Winyard's abuse towards the latter, in Te ..iA. aid r d—. forth. whole b y brigade of them, meaning Berry « family 1 hus provoked blows ensued between the prisoner and John Berry durintr whirh thev both fell to the ground. Upon rising, and before Berry codd regain bis footing, Winyard stabbed him heavily on the right breast with a knife. Berry reeled back, and exclaimed, Oh God, I'm stabbed. I he pnsoner then ran out of the house, and Williams saw upon the ground a ta- ble knife with blood on it, but he could not say that it was the same which had inflicted the wound. Winyard was imme- diately afterwards taken into custody and upon being searched m the station-house, the policeman, Evans took from his hand a large pocket-knife with a sheep's foot blade, which he was trying to secret under a bench. The waistcoat of the suffere, was produced, which was cut through, and which, with the poor fellow's shirt, was saturated with blood. He was consi- dered in imminent danger for some days, but is now progies- sing to recovery. The wound is from an inch to an inch and « quarter in length, on the right breast, penetrating the cavity of the chest, between the third and fourth ribs, to the sternum. The prisoner, who appears to be about 20 years of age, evinced the utmost unconcern during the investigating hi was re- manded until Berry could give evidence.
NEWPORT RACES.
NEWPORT RACES. These raeel took place on Wednesday and Thursday last. The weather, though very fioe, did not, we are sorry to ob serve, attract so numerous and respectable a concourse of spectators, as former races have done. A committee, who have long been very anxious to see so spirit-stirring a recreation firmly established in Newport, were very active; but these were Races for the Million," for the course was ciowded on the first day with large numbers of our working classes and fami- lies, who, in these "iron times" rush so gladly to see anything lite pleasure, for which they are not called on to pay. The arrangements were not so devised as they should be; and if this be attributable to anything besides the present de- pression of the times, we think it was the poor success of for- mer racesjin Newport. The race-course has usually been a wet and unattractive one and most righteously, according to the dates of races in the by. gone, has it deserved its title-ihe Marshes. But this year, the wet season was justly anticipated. Before the high tides, which generally covered the course, just previous to past races, had time to inundate it this season, the discernment of the committee of management had determined on realizing their bill of fare." and accordingly the Marshes were last Wednesday so Mackadamized-Io use a far fetched term-that the strongest hoof, had it pick-axe powers, could do little more than make an impression. As very many races preceded, and were to follow our own, a large number of horses of proved mettle and excellence were expected. Nor was the expectation unrealized, The 11 correct list of the horses," was promising in the extreme; and those who did intead to patronize, and receive enjoyment from, the Newport Races, were but little disappoiffted. t At one o'clock, the hour announced for starting, the course presented an animated appearance, and soon after that time, the first days sport commenced, of which the following ia an abstract- MONMOUTHSHIRE STAKES. Five sovereign each, and twenty added. Mr. Gough's e.g. Aimwell, aged 1 1 Mr. E. Wilkins's b.m. Ima. 5 yrs. 3 2 Mr, Sails' b.g. Consul, 4 yrs 2 3 These horses walked about a quarter of a mile from the start- ing-post, each seeming desirous for the other to take the lead. At length Consul went off in gallant style, followed by Aim- w§l| in easy paces. The race lay betwixt these two, Ima evi- dently reserving herself for the next heat; and, after a sharp contest, the heat was won by Aimwell, by about a length. In the second heat play was made by Ima, Consul and Aim- | well alternately passing each other; until it came to straight running, when Aimwell collared Ima. The three horses were now nearly abreast, but Consul was soon compelled to follow in the wake of the others. Nothing could be more exciling than the struggle between the two other. Ima frequently had the advantage, and Aimwell as frequently wrested ii from tier; but it was evident that the whip and spur were most urgently used on ihe sides of the former. Still Ima was gaining, and was full a neck in advance of Aimwell, when she was compelled to pause and lose giound, by leason of the clerk of the course reining his hoise in her way, within a couple of strides of the winning post; and thus Aimwell won. HURDLE RACE. Three sovereigns each, and twenty added. Three horses started in this race. Mr. Maules's b.g. Jolly Tar, 5 yrs Mr. Newman's b.m. Mountain Maid, 5 yrs. 2 Mr. Turner's Ellen, (late False One) aged.. 1 Mr. l'urner's Elloo, (litte False One) aged.. 1 The Jolly Tar, at starting, had too much running, and com- ing to the second hurdle, shied off to the left. The second place was taken by Ellen, who, perceiving Jolly Tar's disas- ter, made off at full speed, closely followed by the Mountain Maid. Both continued throughout the distance, each evidently striving to do the best, the Maid repeatedly attempting to col- lar her competitor, but was as often shaken off. At the dis. tance post the Mountain Maid drew upon her antagonist, and struggled to reach her head, but in vain, for Ellen came in an easy winner, while Jolly Tar shying a second time, was unable to make up lost ground, and was distanced. Ellen walked over the second heat. HACK STAKES. 1 wo sovereigns each, and five added. (Not filled.) A SWEEPSTAKES. One vovereign each, and five added. There was only one horse entered for these stakes, and, con- l sequently, no race. SECOND DAY. GLAMORGANSHIRE STAKES. Ima received forfeit from Aimwell and Consul, the two mile heitts, with 7lbs. extra, being too much for Aimwell. TREDEGAR STAKES. (Mile Heats.)

THE HANDICAP, Free for beaten horses, and forced for winners. Three love- reigns each, and a purse added. (A race of one mile.) Mr. Gough's Aimwell, aged 10 7 Mr. Wilkins'Ima, 5 yrs 9 9 Mr. Sail's Consul, 4 yrs.7 7 Ima led, but little Aiinweli, moving as true as a shadow, and almost as silent glided up to the other two at the distance post, and tbe short race not allowing the welghtlo tell heavily on turn, won with no difficulty. As faithful narratists, we must record that a fleet of pick. pockets who had arrived the previous day, from the port of Bris- tol, on a speculation, were detected industriously employed in their vocation three were seized with their hands in other peo- ple's pockets, and, with two of their companions, arraigned as vagrants, provided, by the courtesy of the Magistrates, with genieel apartments in the romantic town of Usk, where an ex- cellent machine, called the tread-mill, will keep these gen- try in healthful exercise. Their brethren of the roulette table were more successful: they emptied the pockets of many, who must have had empty heads to give them the opportunity, and took from the town more money than did the owners of all the race horses.
I BRISTOL COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
BRISTOL COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. THURSDAY, AUGUST 31. KB JOHN HOWARD, NEWPOK1, MONMOUIHSHIBB. The insolvent was this day supported by Mr I p Phillpotts, solicitor; and again opposed in peison by j. butcher, of Newport. u.i.nrP.ahpM His Honour closely scrutinised the insolvent s b .pMRn' and said that the insolvent's debts, which amounted o x had been contracted, according to his statement, fr011? e 1838 to 1842, but actually the most part of 'hem 10 e year 1842. With a salary of only £ 140 a-year, he did not see how the insolvent could feel himself justified in conlraCllogldsuc I gieat responsibilities and as he was not a trader, he cou o plaed disappointments in trade.. ,L.. Mr Phillpoits said he had made an examination'0 ° ance sheet of the insolvent, and he could satisfy e 1 'he ac,ua' debts would not be found to exceed and that the insolvent's liabilities were not really ".ore than he might reasonably have supposed himself able to meet. A letter was read from Lewis Edwards, Esq. of Newport, (a Tt ,h'f^100>. speaking in high lerm^ of tt.e stating that be knew the msolvent was embarrassed when he lent nim ilOO. Mr Parry, the opposing creditor, in a very excited manner, represented the hardship and the loss he had mcurred by his transactions with the insolvent Mr Pbillpotts said there were iu the whole 75 creditors, and as none came forward besides the present opposing creditor Mr Parry, he hought he was justified in assuming lhe> had no complaint to make against the insolvent His Honour said he had felt great difficulty before io maklOg an order in this case but as it certainly bv the evidence, did appear the creditors were not disposed to press the insolvent; and as, after deducting tLe several iiems debited to the Insoly. entin his balance sheet, which might be reasonably allowed, there remained only such a sum as a person under the ciicuoa- stances might expect (possessing considerable skill, as it seemed the insolvent did, in his piotession) to be able to meet, it would seem harsh in the court, when there was only one opposing cre- ditor of £ 10, to refuse the final order. The Court therefore, made a final order in the insolvent's favour. His Honour told Mr Parry that at the next meeting for choice of assignees,- which was fixed for the 12th September-he would be entitled to be assignee.

IMPORTANT DECISION.—-LEGALUV OF DERDY CLUBS.—A very important case was brought befole the Croydon magistrates lately, the proprietress of the King's Arms, in that town ha- ving been informed against for having a Derby Club" in her house. On account ot the circumstances connected with this case, and the enormous amounts involved in the decision, the proceeding caused a good deal of anxiety. The information was laid under an old act of parhament-that of the 121h Geo. II., and it charged the defendants, Charlotte Messenger and Jane Thrale, with setting an unlawtul and mischievous game, called the King's ArmsDerby Club, and that a number of per- sons subscribed small sums of money, to be divided among the winners at such unlawful game, and that they also issued tickets in furtherance of the said mischievous and illegal game, for which they had forfeited the sum of £200. Mr Thomas, the barrister, appeared in support of the information, which pur- ported to be laid by William Kerrod, soda water manufacturer, of St John's,. Chelsea and Mr R. Russell, of Cioydon, ap- peared for the defendants. The presiding magistrates were, Messrs Reid (chsirman), Sutherland, Adams and Warrington, Mr Thomas having stated the nature of the case, and quoted authorities in support of the information, Mr Adams, one of the presiding magistrates, said he was clearlv of opinion that the information could not be supported upon the act of parliament on which it had been flamed. The preamble of the act, and the different sections in it, showed that it was mtended to put down what were lern.ed little goes," which were dependant upon the public lotteries whit h existed at that time. The act said-" Any scheme for advancing small sums of money by a number of persons, to be divided in prizes in some public lot- tery." This could not be made to apply to the present case, for supposing all the facts to be proved they only showed that a number of persons had advanced money to be divided amongst themselves, and not at all in the manner telerred to by the act of parliament under which the information *aS framed, tie, .herefore, felt no difficuhy in com"!igTo .he conclus.on that the information must be dismissed. The Chaiin,an be,n8 or "e same opinion regarding the act as hig brother magistrate, ttie case was dismissed.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE. NEWPORT TOWN HALL.—MONDAY, SSPT. I, Btfore the Mayor, and T. Hughes and. T. Hawkins, Esqrs. BOROUGH AND IMPROVEMENT RATES. About seventy householders were summoned at tbe Town Hall this morning for the non-payment of the Newport Im- provement and tbe Borough raies. The general excuse pleaded was poverty, through the depressed sta'e of business and want of employment. Orders for payment in a fortnight were, in a great majority of the cases, made by the Bench. MONDAY, SEPT. 4. Before the Mayor, and Thomas Prothero, Thos. Hughes, 7 hoi. o Hawkins, and Williim Brewer, Esqs. RENEWAL OF LICENSES. Here was a scene, worthy to be illustrated by the pencil of Hogarth! About forty-four worthy Bonifaces presented their sevens and sixpences" for a renewal of license to "victual" the thirsty denizens of Newport with wines, spirits, ale, cider, and porter; and "bonny faces" they exhibited while there were not wanting the fat rubicond cheeks and mulberry-tipped nasal organs that so generally distiaguish the high priests of Bacchus'. Teetotalism had apparently sent no ravaging decay of business among these. There they were—a host of merry- hearted Falstaffs, putting to shame the cloud of Cold-sueam Guards who sometimes hold forth in the same hall where Justice was cow "administering" the <even-and-sixpenny "pledge." It would be a curious scene, if escli had brought with him the "subject matter" of his sign. Heie were tbe royal representatives of our late Sailor King, Queen Victoria, PrinceAlbert. and the Iron Duke, standing forward cheerfully to I support the "Union," and rested familiarly upon the brawny Blacksmiths'Arms, Joiners' Arms, and Butchers' Arms while Neptunes nodded to Vulcans Hares and Greyhounds were running around the Globe Albion made Salutations with up. lifted Crowns to Kings' Heads the Rose and Thistle bended gracefully to the Royal Oak Heath cocks, Blue Boars, White Lions and Black Lions, Old Bulls, St. Georges and Dragons, Lambs, Ploughs, and Anchors, and other "game," were liete- regenously scampering from the portly Noah's Ark, and trans. mitting requests of leave to be off, through the Post Office 10 Mr Hopkins, the "receiver-genoaf" of the blindfolded God. Owners of Shipwrecks were looking miserably upon Ships-a- Ground, and enviously on Ships-on Launch, while the puffing and blowing Steam Packet went "a head" of each; Royal Ann looked curiously up into the bushy Old Bush Cioss Keys jingled their good metal on the tintinnabulary Six beUs end better music than all, Crowns rattled harmoniously down upon the table as the due and legal cost," wiih halfcrowns, shil- lings, and sixpences, even to the close of the chapter-The scene is over the chief actors who played their parts on this stage, have one by one departed to begin another season" on their own stage and then, we may observe, for the satisfaction of the curious, those lesser stars," in the beer line, who had sought to obuin a more spirited elevation, hid their di. minished heads." when they were desired to shine on in their present orbits, for a brief while, albeit they might "shoot" up again on the twenty-fifth day of the present* montb; and then these "stars" "rot OUI. "CUTS," AFTER THE ANTIQUE. Oh, don't you remember the last time we met you," Your eyes quite as black, and your cheeks full as red t Maria Meyrick-a youug damsel of the Fiiars' Fields genus —with a fearfully blackened eye, and and a pair of fuil blown Infantry-coloured cheeks—was placed at the bar for "mighty ondacent and imperlite conduct." Sergt Huxtable give the prisoner strong testimonials to cha- racter, and enforced her claim to be cherished in the House at Usk in an unmistakeable manner. He had seen her in the Fields dressed almost in the peculiarly chaste fashion, which belonged to the The good old days of Adam and Ere." Moreover, she had bid him mind his own business in language that staggered some of "the oldest inhabitants" of that classic neighbourhood. The Mayor: Was her dress of the low cut, down to the waist ? because some of the ladies in the Fields are very fond of the cut antique." The discriminating Sergeant said that the cut of her dress was exceedingly low." Mr Hughes enquired of the prisoner if she were not well acquainted with thll court—in fact, whether the was not one of the regulars 1" Prisoner: Ob, don't you remember theiasttimel" was quodded for prigging, and had twelve-pennortb at the mill T or when I was "summery" conwicted, and had three months' wind grinding ? The Mayor directed her to become Mr Meyrick's pupil at the Usk Fly-wheel Establishment for the space of two calen- dar months. Prisoner And thank ye, sir. Two boys named Stauuton and Crook were charged with an act of vagrancy in lying about the streets at night; bnt were— after telling a ptaustbte "mushroom" story of themselves- given their discharge. MISTAKEN NOTIONS. A man named John Williams was charged with stealing a quantity of larpauling, the property of the Rhymney Companv. Obadiah Richards, who is in the employ of the Company, swore that he placed the tarpauling on some timber near the Commercial wharf, in the afternoon of Friday, which was after. wards stolen. Prisoner: Did you leave this 'ere tarpauling in the care of anybody 1 Obadiah No, I didn't. Prisoner, fivniiingij-. well, then, s'pose you leaves a five- pun nnte on the ground, and I sees it by and by, and picks it it mine 1 The Bench, correcting the mistaken notions of the prisoner, advised him lobe castiolls what be said. Mary Watford, of Friars'Fields, was then sworn: She had received information from a Mrs Morgan that the tarpauling was lost, and was asked to buy it if brought to her stores, that it might be restored to the man who lost it. The prisoner soon after sold her the tarpauling for a shilling. This was about five on Friday afternoon. Jane Walford proved the last witness's statement, and added that she weighed the tarpauling, when the prisoner wished her to cut it up, but as she understood the affair, she said they bad a better use for it. He said it was all right, as it was given to him by a man. The prisoner was committed for trial. THE ENGLISHMAN'S CASTLE. Ann Sarah Smith, wife of William Smith, wag charged with assaulting James Graham. Mr. Woollett appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Thomas Griffin Phillpotts, two clerks, and eight ponderous volumes of law, appeared for defendant. It appeared that the defendant was a servant at the Cambrian beerhouse, of which William Williams was the reputed land- lord, and that the plaintiff went there to see Williams, on be half of Mr HIli, who was landlord of the properly. Wht-n he entered the house, he found the defendant carrying off part of a bedstead which she said was hers, and he blamed her for so I doing, as the rent was due, and he did not wish to see Hill in. jured. A squabble ensued, and Graham locked up the rooms after which he turned out the defendant, who threatened him' and attempted to fling a stone at his head. This was the CiS; of the plaintiff. Mr. Phillpotts cross-examined Graham at a considerable length, and with much severity, for the purpose of showing that Graham was not a sheriff's officer; that if he went on the pre- I mises to see Williams, he had no right to turn a servant out of the house, and lock up the rooms that the servant was justified in defending her master's property, even to the assaulting of an I illegal invader; and that according to Coke upon Littileton. the rent was not due till the last minute of the day—therefore Graham bad acted illegally, and the defendant was justified in making rests ance. Mr Woollett thought the Bench would concur with him, that the matter of rent and possession had nothing to do with the assault. Capt. Richards then supported the evidence of Graham, as regarded the assault. Mr Pbilpotts produced a cloud of witnesses who swore that they never saw tbe assault or heard the threats Graham swore he had received. Mr Woollett cross-examined these, and produced other wit- nesses who swore to disprove many of the chief statements they had put forward. Mr Phillpotts wished to cross-examine these last witnesses but the magistrates put a stop to such proceedings, by convicting the defendant of the assault.—To pay five shillings and the expenses. A charge was then preferred against Mary Ann Williams, daughter of Williams, late landlord of the Cambrian, for ha. viog threatened to destroy a certain house, the property of Mr. Hill, by fire. As this case arose out of matters concerned with the last, the same legal gentlemen appeared. Mr Hill, who swore to the truth of the information, stated that he had received from creditable persona the information of the defendant having threatened to destroy the Cambrian, of which he was landlord. Mr Phillpotts adopted at his favourite mode of cross-examina- tion, and harassed Mr Hill greatly; and subsequently Mr. P. elicited from the landlord that he would withdraw the charge, if the defendant's party would deliver up the key. The Bench having sanctioned this mode of settlement, or- dered the costs to be divided. ADJOURNED BUSINESS. At six o'clock in the evening, the magistrates, who had ad- journed at five o'clock for an hour, again took their placas on the bench. George Jenkins was placed at the bar, charged with stealing from the person of Jane Thomas, on Saturday the 2nd instant, ten sovereigns. Tbeproseeutrix, who is an unfortunate female, but one of interesting appearance and considerable intelligence, said that on Saturday evening last she was at a beerhouse in Pill, the sign of the Royal Oak, kept by a person named Avery. The prisoner Jenkins came in and sat besi'ie her, after which she went to drink with him in an upstairs loom. She had at the lime eleven sovereigns, tied in the corner of a handkerchief, in her bosom. She changed one of the sovereigns, and spent the whole except two shillings, in wealing the prisoner and several persons in the house. Prisoner did not see her take the sove- reign out to chenge, and she was not aware that he knew she had money. While in the room upstairs with prisoner alone, he pulled the handkerchief out of her bosom. She held one end, but he had the end io which the sovereigns were tied, and after some struggling, he succeeded in tearing out the money from the handkerchief. PC Pennimore staled that happening to be in the Royal Oak at the time, and hearing of the noise, he went upstairs, and being informed by prosecutrix what had taken place between them. Penn more succeeded in opening the hand of the pri- soner in which he found seven sovereigns. Pennimore then took turn into custody, and while bringing him to the StatioD House he ran away, but was overtaken by Pennimore, and safely lodged.—Committed for trial. Daniel Habbakuk was charged by Anne, his wife, with assaulting her in the street on Saturday last; and was bound over to keep the peace for twelve months, himself in twenty pounds, and two sureties in ten pounds each. VIOLENT ASSAULT. John Evans was next placed at the bar, charged with having wounded James Matthews, with intent to do him some grin. ous bodily harm. The court was much crowded, the wounding of Matthews having causad considerable excitement in the town. Mr R. F. Woollett, surgeon to the Newport Dlipenury, ha. ving been sworn, stated that the man who had been wounded, was under his care, and was wholly unable to attead. The prisoner was then remanded till to-morrow morning. TUESDAY, SEPT. 5. Before ihe Mayor, and T. Hughes, Esq. John Evans was again brought ap this morning. The court was still more crowded than last nighf. Mr T. Woollett appeared on behalf of the prisoner. Eliza Ponsford was the first witness sworn, and being exa. mined by Mr Pike, said I am the wife of John Ponsiorif, and we keep a lodging house in Cross street, in this town. I know a man named James Mallhews-he does not reside here per- manently, but comes here occasionally, and stops at our house on those occasions. He is a dealer in junk, rags, &c. He came to oilr house last Saturday week, the 26th of August, lefl on Wednesday moraing, and returned on Thursday evening, at nine o'clock, quite tipsy, and slept at our house. My hus- band has a brother named Thomas Davies, who slept at our house on Thursday night, and next morning he said he nad lost some money. He came up 10 my room while myse I and my husband were in bed, and said he had lost lis Id, out of a purse which was in his pocket. We had other per- sons lodging with ut besides Davies and Matthews—these two slept in the loom with me and my husband. Oh bearing of the loss we got up, and made ecquiry of all the lodgers, there being several in the house that night. Matthews bad gone out early that morning, and my husband went to fetch him. When he brought him back he was quite lipsy-thls was between nine and ten in the morning. My husband asked him if he it new anything of the money, and he said he did not. My husband told hln; cot to put himself out of the way, and then asked him if he nJd more money in his pocket than he had last night, and he saiJ he^had not. At the time this conversation was going on, John ^'van* came to the time this conversation was going on, John ;.vanl came to the door. Matthews, at the time, was in a gre^ passton. and swearing. Evans said it was a strange thing the i.. on^ should go out of the house, adding that a person who wouiv. swear such oaths as Matthews was using, was the most likely person to take the money. Matthews grew more enraged at this. Evans then left our house and went to his own, close by—he went through the back way. There is a window in Evans's house looking into the yard close by our back door, and when Evans went into his own house, Matthews went after him to the window. Evans was then in his house, and Matthews in the yard, at Evans's wind w. Matthews was still greatly enraged, and I went after him, and brought him bark into our house—he was challenging Evans to fight. He went oul again to Evans's window, and challenged him. 1\1}" husband brought him b<ck on this occasion. He went out a third lime, and I brought him back. He then went out a fourth time, and challenged Evans to fight hIm for a qnart of beer. Matthews went up to the window, which was then closed, and pulled it opeB, and challenged Evans again, when Evans lairt, if he did not go away, he would give him a muk, I was about taking Matthews away, when a poker came out through the window, and went in'o hit head—itstrurk him on the side of the I:e..d, he beint; standing with hit side to the win- dow at the moment, in a boxing ai it ude, and squaring his fists Ht Evans- The pokei came through on the very instant when Evons said he would maik Matthews. I did not see Evans throw the poker—I heard him speak. I wasctoseby Matthews about to pull him away, when the poker went into his head —hr staggered immediately, and fell, whereupon I cried Murder, when Evans rao out from his house, and pulled the poker OUI of Matthews's head, and said, Oh. my God what have J don61" I sdid, You have murdered the man." Evans then ran away with the pok r in h s hand, and I did not see- him after. The piece of iron now produced, is like the piece that came through the window, and stuck in Matthew's bead. Cross examined by Mr Woollett: When 1 first saw DIat. thews in our house in the morning, as they were disputing .bout the money. my husband and Matthews were quarrelling Allhis moment, while they were so quarrelling, Evans came in with a child in his alms. When Matthews challenge*! Evans to fight, he refused, and went back to his own house- from the lime that Matthews went out the first time to challenge Evans, until he was wounded, was not more than ten minutes. Mr Pike said there was sufficient evidence to warrant the magistrates in remanding the prisoner. Mr Woollett applied to the magistrates to allow his client to bail. The Mayor said he thought the magistrates were not then in a situation to take bail. They were waiting the issue of the lamentable occurrence, and if, in the course of a week or ten days, the man should be better, and likely to recover, which the magistrates earnestly hoped he would, they would then very probably receive the application favouiably. At present, how- ever, it was their duty to remand him and as they were un- willing that he should be confined for so long a time in the inconvenient prison of Ihis town, they would, for his own com. fort and convenience, send him to the Usk House of Coriection.
I THURSDAY, AUG. 31.
THURSDAY, AUG. 31. Before the Mayor, T. Hughes, and T. Hawkins, Eiqrs. INCURABLE DEPRAVITY. Two females from Friars' Fields-disgusting in their appear- ance and manner—were charged with being found in their cus loolary drunken and disorderly slale. PC Hayward proved the charge against the pnsoners they both exhibiting very disgraceful conduct meanwhile; and bis Worship, having lectured them very sharply on their depraveo levity, committed them to the House of Correction at U«k, fur three months—a sentence which they said they rightly antici- pated, and with which they were pleased. TnE UNGUARDED GUARD. A young lad named Charles Golledge, the son of a master- painter and glazier in this town, was charged with stealing a gold guard chain, the property of Miss Mary Elizabeth Wil- liams, Commeicial-street. It appeared that on Wednesday week the prisoner, who has long borne an ill repute in this town, was employed at the re sidence of Mr John Williams, accountant, to repair a window in one of the bed rooms and that while upstairs for that pur- pose—not being watched or attended by a servant, as is too fre- quently and foolishty the case-he passed from the room where he had been at work into one contiguous, which was the bed room of Miss Williams, from which he stole the property in question. The chain was produced by PC Hopkins, to whom prisoner gave if, and confessed that he was the thief; and Miss W. having identified the chain, tbe prisoner was committed for trial at the Sessions. THE EFFECTS OF DRUNKENNESS. A journeyman saddler and harness maker, named Joseph Warren, who had been in the employ of Mr Powell, saddler, from last April twelvemonth up to this morning, was charged with robbing hia employer of leather, tOOII, See., on two or three different occasions. Mr Powell entered into the history of these robberies, show- ing that he had forgiven his first offence, on the prisoner's p'o mising to amend, and leave off drunkenness, which had been the cause of hi" acting in such a manner. But this morning the prisoner had been delected a second time robbing him (M; Powell), and he felt that he was bound to deiiver him up to ^wn'nesses having been sworn and examined in support of the charoe the pllSoner-who seemed fully conscious of his degredatmn, and wept very much—was committed for trial at lhe ensuing Sessions. The great length of our borough pohce this week, excludes the Division of Newport business, of last Saturday.

ABERGAVENNY POLICE.—SEPT. 6, 1843. Before the Hon. W. F. Rodney, Rev. G. Gabb and the Rev. rv. Powell. This being the day for renewing the licenses to public-houses the Bench was occupied a considerable length of time in grant- ing them. EXCISE CASE. Mr W. Crump, auctioneer, hiving sold freehold property in March last, the duty upon which he paid in April, applied to have il refunded, on the ground that the vendor could not pro- duce a good title. Mr Sandyman, clerk to Mr P. Price, attor. ney, proved the accuracy of the auctioneer's statement, and the amount, £2 155 Id, was ordeied to be re.paid. TURNPIKE GATE CASE. John Piice was summoned by WiJIiam Parfitt for passing through the New Hereford gate with seven sheep, on the 22nd 01 August last, and not paying the toll. The case was stated by John Collard, gate keeper, who was severely cross.examined hy Mr Baker, for the defendant; but his evidence was not shaken. Mr Baker pleaded for a mitigatlnn of the penalty, stating that his client had that day purchased seven mountain sheep, and that they weie so wild as to be quite unmanageable that he was a very poor man, and very unfortunate, yet still an honest man, for on his way home he had lost three of his sheep, and that the first lirtie he passed through the gate after the 22nd 01 August he offered to pay the toll.— Fined £1. HIGHWAY ROBBERY. Anne Bond was charged with robbing David Gwitlimof two five pound notes, on Wednesday, August 29th, on the highway near Penycauseway. Gwillim said he was accosted by prisoner in the town, who followed him outside the turnpike, where she committed the rob. bery by thrusting her hand in his waistcoat pocket, and extract- ing the notes, with which she ran off; that he did not follow her then, although aware she had robbed him, but went home, and requested a young fiiend to request her to return all she bad robbed him of, but she did not comply with the prayer of her victim. This was so lame an affair, that the Bench would not for a moment entertain the case, and dismissed it—not until the Hon. Wm. Rodney had given the complainant some whole- some advice—advice which, if he will but follow, be will not fail to profit by. SEPTEtlrUlER 5' Before the Revds. W. Powell and G. TV. Gabb. ROGUES AND VAGABONDS. John Lloyd, aged 17, from Nantyglo, William Phillips, of Llanigan, aged 17, John Parker, of Bristol, aged 16, George Evans, of Hay, aged 13, James Powell, of Kilgorack, Mon. mouthshire, aged 19, William Brinkwonh, Hursley, Glouces- tershire, William Jenkins, of the parish of Newchurch, and William Powell, from Radnorshire, were charged bv our ever vigilant Patrick Cusack with sleeping on lime kilns at night, and having a quantity of potatoes in their possession, which Patrick, from his knowledge of that species of fruit," pro- nounced "a suspicious manher." These young worthies-a strangely-assorted group—were also dignified by the honouiable appellation of "rogues and vagabonds." Brinkworth, Jenkins, and Powell, living pretty reasonable accounts cf themselves, and making faiTpromises—escaped an excellent opportunity of improving themselves in grinding wind," but the remaindei of them were honoured by a month's enjoyment each, under the paternal care of Governor Merriit, of Usk.
