THE PRAYER OF FAITH. "Mr name!—J caugnt the sound! Oh blessed tone of love-the deep, the mild- Mother, my mot: er! now receive thy child, Take back the lost and found ?"-MBI. HE*i*«. THE prayer of Faith-unswerving Faith Was never poured in vain In Heaven it ever hath prevailed, And shall prevail again. A widow loved an only son, Her fond heart's early joy; But she was called to part with him, When yet a tender boy. The father perished in the deep, Yet must the son again, His dilly bread and fortune seek Upoa the treacherous main. His mother, when they parted, pressed Warm kisses on Hi's cheek; And wept in supplicating tears, 1 he prayer tie could not speak.

Her weeping eyes are dim Aias they now can weep no more One burning tear for him. In grey old age outstretched she lies Upon the scanty bed No relatives sround her press, Her early friends are dead. Still has she not forgot the prayer She wept above her child, Whose oft-repeated burden too Has all her life beguiled.

Ihe report presented jy the visiting justices of the county gaof was then read, frim which it appeared that the erection of a new cooking apr^Tatus and a bath, and certain alterations in the females w:1'd, which had been ordered last sessions, were satisfactorily completed, ^e r^ew rules sent down by the Secretary of Slate had been jlly examined by the visiting justices, and recommended adoption. A% the privilege of letting certain rooms to debtors in the gsol had been taken from Mr. Barrett, the governor, the report Ie. commended as a compensation the sum of £ 30. per annum. The visittog justices animadverted in severeleimsupoo the con- duct of Evans, a turnkey, who had been suspended by the go- vernor for repeated acts of insubordination, and general refrac- tory conduct and they now advised his immediate discharge. The Bench proceeded to take into consideration the adoption of the rules sent by the Secretary of State, and it was resolved —" That the new regulations furnished by the Secretary of State for the Home Departraeot, for the management of gaols, be adopted in the county gaol of Monmouth." fVk"6, DoJ°nel1 rose 10 «'»le 'hat at the last two Sessions, /ik C|f ° tt 'bat 'lie regulations for the county gaol °» 0' correction should be submitted to the conside- ra ion of the court simultaneously. This would certainly luve been the convenient course, because although the discipline of the two prisons might necessarily differ in many respects, and there might be a corresponding difference ia the regulations, yet the gre-Her part of them were precisely alike. The report oi the visiting justices, which had been just read, intimated that they proposed to adopt all the regulations recommended by the Se- cretary of Slate. Now the 130th of these regulations provided, that in addition to the inspection of ihe piisooers' correspond- ence, whtrh was imperative upon the gaoler, the chaplain of the prison should likewise be empowered to inspect it. He had given notice that when the code fot the House of Correction came under final consideration, he would move that it should tMt be adopted but if it were now adopted for the county gaol without opposition, it would be in vain afterwards to oppose it as regarded the House of Coirection. With the permission of the bench, therefore, he would now proceed to state his objec- tions 10 the rule to question. It appeared to him, then, that the rule in question was wrong in principle. A leading prio- ciple in the management of gaols should be to make them places of punishment, not of comfort or indulgence but, at the same time to confine the punishment within legitimate bounds, and not to impose restrictlona neither suggested by the law. nor ne. cessary for the regulation of the prison. It must be needed, that for this object, it was expedient that some restrict. i should be imposed on the correspondence of the prisonei a; fuither, that for the security of the prison itself, it should und rgo some inspection. But surely this was a duty which devol.ed nalu- rally upon the person lesponsible for that security; and who was that but the gaoler? The chaplain had nothing to do with the general management of the prison. That was a secu- lar concern. His duties were spiritual; and the more strictly they wer- confined within that limit, the more likely they were J to 'rove effective. As regards him, therefore, as well as ihe prisoners themselves, the learned gentleman considered this se- condary inspection superfluous; but as regarded prisoners who were not members of the Church of England, and particularly those who were Roman Catholics, it would be worse—it would be an unnecessary and invidious degradation. It was well to say that the rule was only permissive or optional to the chap- lain but it would be obligatory with the prisoner. It would be so felt by them, and 10 fact would amount, as far as Roman Catholic prisoners were concerned, to a virtual prohibition of all correspondence between them and their friends. A great portion of the manufacturing population of this county were Irish Roman Catholics. It was from this population the pri- sons of the county were principally filled and it was conse- quently to be expected that there would always be a considera- ble portion of Irish Roman Catholic*. It wa* known they were peculiarly sensitive in matters connected with their religion and he believed nothing would induce them to correspond with their clergy or with their families. under the censorship of the Protestant chaplain. They would thus be deprived of a fair and reasonable consolation. Again, one of the great objects of modern prison discipline beiog moral improvement, this would be the means of excluding most efficient agents in that good work, namely, the good advice of their friends, and their own spiritual directors. Great care should be taken, that while the magistrates were making philanthropic changes in the simpler punishment of olden times, they did not, by such changes, in- troduce iato their practical effect a new principle, viz., a spe cies of moral torture. Thus far with regard to the principle of bis objection. He found it supported most strongly in practice. The regulation objected to had been for some time nominally adopted at the county gaol; but in practice it was never used. He had thought it right to communicate with the governors of many of the principal gaols in the kingdom, and he found that at most of them the governor was the only person empowered to read the correspondence of the piisoners. Mr. Me. Donnell then read letters in support of this statement from Manchester, Salop, Hereford. Gloucester, Derby, Warwick, Maidstone, Stafford, York, Reading, and Exeter. The letter from Salop particularly desired attention, as the Salop regulations had formed the basis of those which the committee of the House of CorNiC ion proposed to adopt. All these were evidence that in practice the inspection by the gaoler only had been found suffi- cient. He thought, therefore, that ht had made out his case in principle. If, however, it should he thought that some con. troul in this respect should be established over the gaoler, then it appeared to him, that being altogether a secul,r matter, it should be vested in a secular authority. He proposed, there fore, that the poarer to inspect the prisoner's correspondence, proposed to be given to the chaplain, should be expunged, and that instead thereof it be vested in the visiting magistrates. Major Marriott, Mr. O. Morgan, M.P., the Rev. James Coles, and Mr. E. H. Phillips opposed the motion, principally on the ground that a cootroul over the gaoler in this respect was propel and expedient; and that it would be more convenient that this cootroul should be vested in the chaplaio than in the visiting magistrates, because the chaplain was in much, more frequent atteadanse. r > < .■ tMd Oreaville Senintt said that without Jivia, an opinion 11 the regulation itself, it appeared to him that it came strongly rscommended, as it bore the authority of the Secretary of State. I here could be no doubt that it had been the subject of the motil lIeful enquiry and the sanction of the S,cetary of State, "f er such enqu'ry appeared to him entitled to infini ely grea'ei weight than the opinion of ihe gaolers whom Mr. Me. Donnell ad consulted. His Lordship thought likewise thar the regulai laily attendance of the chaplain wag a security in the prisoner's "llercourse by correspondence. Mr. Mc. Donnell briefly replied, that as to the inconveni nee suggested with iegird to the visiting magistrates, that might be easily obviated by giving them power to make 5111,1, arrangements as might be necessary to avoid it. He did nOI lesne any controul over the gwoltr, nor, considering the pain tml was taken when he was selected, in obtaining certificates xc., did he think it at all necessary. He was suppotied in iln- 'pinion by the practice of the gaols to which he had referred. nd he must take leave here to correct a misapprehension of the loble chairman. He had quoted the letters from the governor tf the gaols he had referred to, as evidence of their opinion, ind as evidence of the ptaciice of these gaols; and that prac- 'Ice must be taken as the deieiMunition of the magistrates of the respective counties, who must be supposed abo to have urefully considered the subject. He must say that a practice sanctioned hy the collective wisdom and counsel of the magis- trates he had men iioned- persons who mixed among their peo- jle, and watched the practical Me-king of their rules-oughl to lutweigh the opinion even of the Secretary of Sute, founded ipon theoretical reports. Perceiving, however, that the opi- nion of a majority of the bench was against him, he did not de -ire to give unnecessary trouble by pressing his motion to a iseles3 division. He would, therefoie, wiihdraw it, wiih the eave of the court. He had brought it foiward only under a ense of duty and finding lie had no chance of carrying iI, he ..ould not press it. INCREASE OF THE GOVERNOR'S SALARY. The next business before the Court was to hear an applica- ten from Mr. Barrett, the governor, for an increase 101111 sa. arv, on the grounds of being deprived, by the regulations of he Secretary of State, of the benefit derived by letting rooms to debtors. It was then unanimously resolved, without any discussion- Ttiat the recommendation of the visiting justices to increase he salary of the governor of the county gaol, by £30 per an- lum, in consequence of the loss, the cessation of his being per- ullted to let rooms to debtors for his own piofit, be adopted. The noble chairman said he considered some provision should 'Je made for the accommodation of those debtois whose friends tell disposed to affoid them assistance and after a few obser- vations from two or three magistrates, it was resolved—"That 'he visiting justices be requested to consider the regulations "nder which debtors shall be hereafter permitted the use of the rooms hithello,let to them by the governor." With regaid to Evans, the turnkey of Monmouth Gaol, Mr. Banelt put in a paper of depositions, from which it appeered 'hat Evans had used certain threats against the governor, and had otherwise proved refractory in the performance of the du- 'ies assigned to him. It was then resolved, wilhout a division-" That the pro. ceedings of the visiting magistrates in regard to the suspension Irom his duties of James Evans, be approved. That he be dis- charged and that the visiting magistrates do take measures to ippoiDt a proper person to be his successor, at the same salary, dnd for the pertormance of the same duties." Resolved-That the expenses -f £8 7s. in the kitchen of the gaol at Monmouth, be allowed." REPORTS OF THE COUNTY GAOL. The report of the chaplain of tie gaol was then privately read, but, from one part made public, it appeared that a fund litely established in the gaol for the relief of prisoners on their discharge had been of great benefit in several cases, and had 'ended, in a great measure, to the re-esiablishment of the cha- racters of the recipients in situations of trust and confidence; but there was a balance against the treasurer ot fl3 19.. 41. The chairman recommended that a similar fund be esta- blished in the House of Correction. The reports of the surgeon and the governor of the gaol at Wonmouth having been read. it was resolved-" That the re- ports of the county gaol be received." NEW HOUSE OF CORRECTION. The report of the building committee having been read, it appeared that the total amount already expended on the New tiouqe of Correction was £17,754 IOs. 9d. that the sum re- quisite for its completion would be about | £ 3,489 9s. 2d which was £950 2-4. Ild. above the original estimate. This excess was satisfactorily unaccounted for. The apparatus for warming the prison had been found to answer wef) but the ventilatioo was not found so successful. Lord Granville Somerset said he could confirm the last state- ment with reg<iid to ventilation. He had that morning visited the prison, and although it was a very fine day, he had found on entering one cell that the prison was not fitted for the sepe- rate system. He did not consider that the system of ventila- tion was successful. It was then resolveo- That the visiting magistrates of the House of Correction be Ippoinled a committee to manage and superintend the building lDd completion of the House of Correction at Usk. That Mr. Fothergill be added to the visiting justices of the House of Correction at Usk. "That the temporary rules now in operation be continued until the ensuing Quarter Sessions. That the committee be requested to prepare a code of rules 'or the governance of the House of Correction, when it shall be completed, and when it shall have received the requisite appro- bation of the Secretary of State that they do place their report in the hands of the clerk of the peace on or before the 13th of December, who shall cause it to be printed, and sent to each of the acting justices, as soon as it is practicable." REPORTS OF THE HOUSE OF CORRECTION. The report of the visiting magistrates was read and adopted. The report of the chaplain stated that he found great igno- rance existing among the prisoners, and chten" among those prisoners from Newport. It also stated that the generality ol theprtsoDers indirecily admitted there was little punishment to the New House of Correction. The report of the surgeon was read, from which it appeared ihat the prisoners were generally in a healthy state. The report of the governor was then read. RECENT ESCAPE OF PRISONERS FItOM THE HOUSE OF COR- RECTION. It was then resolved by the bench that the following should he added to the report to he prepared for the Secretary of State —" The reports of the visiting justices and of the other officers of the House of Correction at Usk, having been considered, it appears to the Court thai the transference of the prisoners from ihe old to the new House of Correction has caused some irre- gularity, as was evinced in the escape of two prisoners in ihe month of July last that every exertion has been made to re- medy this, and to bring the prisoners into such a condition as will enable a proper compliance with the general rules and Ie- gulations which are now in force and that the necessary mea- sures have been taken by this court 10 lay down, so soon as il shall be compleied, such a code of laws and regulaiions as shall fully carry into effrct the important objects alluded to in the letter of the Secretary of Slate for the Home Department, of the 27th of January, 1843. COUNTY RATE. It was ordered that a county rate of three half-pence in the pound be adopted. COUNTY LUNATIC ASYIUM. f he finance committee's report having been read, in which it was recommended that the old Bridewell should be sold, Mi. Phillips suggested that instead of selling the old Bride. well, it would, he considered, be far better to appropriate that building to the purposes of a lu laiic asylum, instead of sending, as was now the case, to Uath and Devize«. It would save the county a vast amount of annual expenditure and belore the building should be otherwise disposed of he would beg the bench to take into cons.deration the propriety of his suggestion. I he chairman agreed that u was highly essential there should be a lunatic asylum in 'bis county, but he did not Consider the old Bridewell at all calculated for such a purpose. | Oiher gentlemen having disagreed with the remurks of Mr. J Phillips, that gentleman said be certainly expected opposition to his suggestion. Mr. Nic. D--nell One of the reasons why a new prison was built, was because of the bad situation of the old one. Mr. Phillips: No. no; it was solely for accommodation. There was not room nor convenience in the old Bridewell, and it was therefore the new one was built. Tloe Chairman, setting aside the necessity of a lunatic asy. lum in the county, could not see how the expeo-e could be met. Mr. Phtlltps thought £ 500sutfi-ient for the purpose. The Chairman still maintained that the sItuation was not good -:there was not space sufficient in the old Bridewell. There rnignt be worse lunarjc asylums, but tuat was no reason why they should convert this Bridewell into in asylum. He should be extremely glad if Brecon and Glamorgan were to join with Monmoulh, a good asylum might then be built and properly supported but he was decidedly adverse to the contemplation of a local lunatic asylum. His Lordship did certainly hope to live long enough to see the union of the three counties for this purpose. i\lr. Phillips thought some good would result from the ob. servations made upon the subject, as it would lead persons to contemplate the necessity and usefulness of a lunatic asylum in this county. He had been shocked to see iunalica being taken to distant lunatic asylums by coaches and packets, and if his suggestion were carried into effect, the friends and relatives of those poor creatures who suffered from such a dieatiful mulady would then have an opportunity of visiting them occasionally, aud would derive consolation from thetfact Ihallhey were able to watch perhaps their progress from so serious an illness to reco- very. This had induced him to turn his attention to the sub- ject, but since he saw the feeling of the court against him, he would make no motion on the subject. It was then resolved—"That measures be taken by the clerk of the peace io dispose to the best advaoiage, of the old House of Coriectioo at Usk, subject to the sanction of the committee for superiatendiog the building of tbe New House of Cor. rection." COUNTY BILLS. The various bill against the county, as examined and passed by the finance oommtttee including the clerk of the peace and the treasurer's accounts, were then received and passed. SDRVEJOR'S REPORT ON COUNTY BRIDGES. The report ot the surveyor on the state of ihe county bridges having been read, were ordered to be passed. FENCE MONTHS IN THE RIVER WYE. Mr. O. Morgan brought forward an application to ihe bench, that they would appoint the fence months for the prestation of salmon in the river Wye, to be, as suggested by the Association for the Preservation of Salmoo, from the 14th of September till the 11th of Febtuary, the whole period, 150 days, allowed by the act. Mr. Collins, a fishmonger, from Monmouth, begged the court that the fence days for the Wye should be the same as those for the Usk, i A short discu^ion eosued, when it was agreed that the fence months for the present season should commence on ihe 24111 instant, and he cont.nued),tt the I III, of Februarv aid ilin, next year they should be commenced on the 1,1 of October, and continued tllllhe latier dare. It was iiien ordered that an advertisement should be inserted m the county papers, announcing the fence days as stated in the above resolution. (Continiied it, otir secotid page.)

Shortly after the celebration of mass at the residence of Mr. O'Connell, at which the honourable and learned gentleman re- ceived the sacrament, abou' half- past nine o'clock this moroiog, Wr. Kemmis, crown solicitor, waited upon him, and presented to him a paper, intimating that the government had instituted proceedings against him and his son, Mr. John O'Connell, M P., on a charge of "conspiracy and other misdemeanours."

Alier some conversation between Mr. O'Connell and Mr. Kemmis, who, we understand, acted with the greatest courtesy, the hour of three o'clock this day was fixed upon to enter bail, nt the residence of Mr. Justice burton, in Stephen's Gieen. Mr. Kemmi3 then withdrew. The following is the letter of Mr. Kemmis Kildare-street. Oct. 14,1R43.

The town is alive with rumours as to further prosecutions, and proclamations against the Repeal Association and the col- lection of the repeal lent. The commissioners of metropolitan police have been ordered to be in attendance at their office all day to receive bail for oihei parties against whom, we understand, prosecutions are about to be instituted but up to this hour no return has been made ol warrants from the Crown Office. We have learned that the following counsel have been re- tained for Mr. O'Connell and Mr. John O'Connell Messrs.

DOMESTIO NEWS. 9 DUTil OF THE Dr-aop or LTCHFIELD.—W« bu. to announce the death of the Rev. Dr. Bowstead, Bishop of Lichfield and Coventry, who, after a lengthened and painUil illness, expired on Wednesday evening se'nitfhi, at Clifton-wells, near Bristol, where his lordship had re- sided for some weeks past, for the benefit of his lieahb. It is well known that, lor a considerable period, the right rev. prelate had, from his severe indisposition, been wholly unable to discharge the sacred duties of his bishopric, and the Bishop of Heretoid was at the last general ordination for the diocese, obliged to officiate for his reverend brother. It was only wiihin the last loiinight that the friends of the deceased despaired 01 his eventual recovery, although disease had made destructive inroad on a naturally strong constitution. The deceased, James Bowstead, D. D ,son of the late Mr. Wm. Bowstead, of Beckbank, Great Salkeld,Cumberland, was horn 1111801. He distinguished himself at Cambtidge University, at a comparatively early age, as in 1824 he was Second Wrangler and Smith's prize-man, and was afierwards fellow and tutor of Corpus Christi College, at that university. Hewasconstdeied one of the brightest ornaments of that foundation for his high attainments and piety; and since his elevation to thr* episcopal bench, he has ever maintained an enviable character for the indefatigable endeavours he has made in promoting the interests of the dIocese under his control. His efforts to extend church-building in the various manufacturing districts of the diocese of Ltchfield and Coventry, gained lor the deceased the admiration of the laity and clergy, and proved his zeal L,r the estab- lished church. In politics he was a Whig, and strongly adverse 10 the tractarian doctrtnes recently introduced into the church. lie was consecrated Bishop of Sodor and Man in 1838, and, on the death 01 Dr. Samuel Bllller, the learned edforot "iEschylus" and master of Shrewsbury School, in 1840, he was translated to the see of Lichfield and Coventry. For some time he was prebendaiy 01 Salisbury. LUNACY. A jury sat at the Sheriffs' Court in Red Lion square, on Wednesday,and found that Mrs. Harriet Litton, of Earl s Court House, Brompton, was of an insane mind, and tncapabteo) managing her affairs. Her chief deiusion was, that her husband, who was in Para- dIse came down nightly to sleep wiih her; and she was always buying clothes, flannel drawers, &c., for her hus- halld, to send by her Heavenly Father's carriage to him in Paradise. A singular and very fatal epidemic having raged for -ome time past in the workhouse of the poor-law union at Greenwich, the pooi-law commissioners have ordered the removal of 40 boys and 40 girls 10 Norwood, 20 men and 23 women 10 Bow, and 60 on out door relief. 'J he house formerly contained 688; and with such a number of in- "lales it was found impossible 10 make head against disease. Major G. Bryan, M. P of Jenkinstown, in the county of Ki kenny, died last Sunday, leaving a vacancy in the epre eolation of that county. It is stated that Mr. Wyse, member for Waterford, has notified to his ipnanirv on the manor of SI. John's and Ballincou1 ty, in the county of Waterford, and Cuddagh, io Hie Queen's county his intention of abating their rents by 20 per cent commencing with those that became due on the 29th 01 September. The Rev. Thomas Dale, vicar of St. Brides, is to have the canonry of St. Paul's, vacant by the death of Mr. Tate.— Slrtndaid. COMMISSIONS OF EVIDENCE.—In the last session of Parliament an act was pasted, which though it excited but lutle attention at the time, is nevertheless a very con- slI/erahle Improvement in the law. We allude to a bill whereby, at the instigation 01 Lord Brougham, it was enacted (6th and 7th Victoria, chap 82.): That com- missioners issued for theexamination of witnesses shall be operative and compulsory against all parties residing within the kingdom, although beyond the jurisdiction ol the courts issuing such commissions." Formerly a commission issued in one part of the empire, was 01 no avail in another; thus a commission issued by the Court ol Session in Scotland was utterly inoperative in England unless witnesses chose volunianly to attend and give evidence. This frequently led to great inconvenience and f'nustice but the evil iscomptetety remedied by the en- actment to which we have adverted. Tne Cheltenham Stag hounds opened the sporting campaign on Tuesday, when they met, for the first lime tins season, at Andoversford, under the direction and management of the new master, Mr. Barton, who, we believe, is also now the proprietor of the pack. There was an excellent field of sportsmen; the hounds were in tine condillon, and Ihe entire appointments of Ihe hunt did great credit to the tasteof the new administration The stag was uncarted about twelve o'clock. and in a short time his purs' ers, dogs, horses, and huntsman, were in gallant chase- After a smart run of forty.five minutes (be anilered prey wassalely captured, atAmpnet Bottom. Yesterday the second meet took place near the Seven Springs, there was again a capital tield,and everything went off hravely, the stag taking the direction of Birdlip HER MAJESTY'S STAG HOUNDS. The regular hunting season of the royal Mag hounds has been appointed by the Eul of Roslyn to commence in the first week of the ensuing mouths. Untiied d-er, however, have been, and will continue to be hunted, occasionally (unlll ibe penod of the first regular meet), by the young hounds (with a sprinkling of old uns"), in order to get litem into train- ing. There have been two excellent runs during the past week, in Thursday and Friday, numerous fields being present on each day. LADY W: PAC ET.—It will b1! seen by our notice for the arrival of the packet ship Stephen Whitney, that amongst her passengers were Major Baron de Roitenbeig B.A., and the Bnoness de Rotienberg. The Baion de Llottenberg is the brother of Lady William Paget. His visit to England has been occasioned by (be disclosures that have been made connecting the name of Lady W m. Paget, so painfully with that of Lord Cardigan. It is curious enough that the baron and Lord Cardigan hap- pened to be in Liverpool at ihe same moment, the former having landed here on Fiiday afternoon, while the latter embaiked for Dublin on the same evening.—Liverpool Albion. HOSIERY AND LACE TRADE.—There is a slight im- provement in almost every part of the cotton hoisery nade. The silk hoisery trade, as far as we can learn, has not in the least amended; the silk glove hands ate yet suffer|r,g severely. The fancy bobbin net trade of almost every kin 1 is still in a flourishing condition, and we believe wilt be found for a considerable time permanently so. The warp hce trade may be said upon the whole to be in a ft)r condition.— Nottingham Journal. Cider making has commenced in the south of Devon rind the price at present is from £1. to 5s. per hhd: of 63 gallons. MOVEMENT OF TUOOPS.—The constant movement of iroops, occasioned by the proceedings of the Repealers in Ireland,ibe Rebeccaiies in Wales, and the F.ee Church note's in the Highlands of Scotland, if ,t does noother aooH, wtll help to improve railway dividAds. On the G-an-l Junction line,soldiers ;>re carried from Birmingham 10 Liv rpool at the rate of from 9s. to 10s. a-head, so Ihal the sending down a regiment of 800 men, must have cost little less than £400 Irom Birmingham.—Liverpool Timfs. TilE Loss OF THE MEMNON.—The steam-ship Mem- non. which wis ui, ortunately lost on the 1st of August in ihe lted Sea, was the property of the East India Company, and from its exiraotdinary strength, being supenor to a inan-ol-war of the same size, together with its superior steam and sailing poweis, was selected lor the service 01 conveying the Overland Mail, but was not built expressly lor that purpose, having been previously engaged as a war steamer in China, when Uie earned six large guns, v z two 68-pounders, and foui Congreve 32-pounders. She was built in 1841 by Messrs. Fletcher and Co., of Lime- house, designed by and constructed under the dneclion 01 Mr. Rilherdon, surveyor of shipping to the Hon East India Company. Her engines were 01 four hundred horse power, and were manufactured by Messrs. Maudsley. The Memnon was in length, from stem to stern, 202 feel; her breadth at midships, 31 feet, depth of hold, 21 feet. She was of 1,020 tons burthen, of which 425 tons was reserved for the engine room, which was sixty feet in length, leaving space foi 595 tons for passengers and cargo The saloons, cabins, and berths were most elegantly fitted up, indeed, her whole fittings are of the comptetest kind, and it is estimated that the value of the vessel and con- tents, exclusive of Ihe effects of the passengers, was, at thettmeof her unfortunate loss, above seventy thousand pounds. The Memnon was originally built for a war steamer, and was fitted with two of Capt. Smith's patent paddlt box boats, each capable of containing 150 persons. It is rather remarkable that Capt. Powell should have lost his vessel on a part of the African coast with which he must have been most intimately acquainted, having been formerly engaged by the East India Company in survey- ing the coast upi n which the unloriunate vessel was wrecked. The second officer was Lieut. Johnson it is be- lieved, but as various changes frequently lake place at Bombay. I his may not be the case. It was Capt. Porter, no Powell, who commanded the Semtramis when it was lost 50111" time since.

And, sir. from a ratagraph in youi paper of the 7th instant, I was induced to believe that the gra titying intellig nee would have been announced, that another class of shopkeepers' a-sistant»—I mean the "G'ocers' Assistants"—would have had the benefit of the same advan- tages from last Monday evellial; but in vain 1 searched your columns for the pleasing anticipated announcenient. "It is an omission, surely it is an omission, on the part of the Editor," said I to myself, for as the arrangements were so matured, what could have been the reason of their non- announcement ? Had the masters who had given their signatures withdrawn them? No! I am happy to find they were and are still faith tul to their promise; but obstacles hove arisen which I much tear will entirely mar the hopes of the anxious expectanis,- obstacles arising from one or two individuals who certainly, sir, on the score of humanity and their own professed attach- rrent to liberty, ought not, for a moment, to be entertained by them and I still hope that, as men of Newport, and as Englishmen, they will yet accede in giving in their adhesion to so pleasureable an act. and not, for the sake of a few pence obtained during intervals of one brief hour, deprive so many of the advantages of mental culture which may be ob- tained in the town of Newport. On referring to the signatures of those who have yielded to the urgent yet lespectful request of their assistants, I find the iollowing:- William Evans Jnmes Setter John iJavies VV. H.

I sincerely trust that your powerful advocacy of the cause of so just. reasonable, and desirable an object will, as in the case ol the drapers, be given for the benefit of the groceis, and may your labours not cease until they are attended with the same so much wished for success.

To the Editor of the Monmouththire…
To the Editor of the Monmouththire Merlin, SIR.-ODe would imagine, from the locality of our town and its vicinity to the collieries, from where some of the best coals in the kingdom is readily obtained for producing gas, that we should be blessed with good and cheap gas light, and that out s'reets "nd shops would equal or excel-other towns in brilliancy, but long experience has taught the inhabitants of our thriving iioiougb, to expect no such display from the gas departnieor here. But allow me to ask why are the lights so deplorably Ilad from the ffoor 01 lighting till nearly nine o'clock, an hour then many shops ate, I am h.ppy to say (itnd all ought to be), closed. Without doubt reasons can be assigned. Then art they in accordance with justice. f am, Sir, A GAS CONSUMER. Newport. October, 16.
