The commission which re- J in the trial and conviction of one offender, the pleading guilty of a few others, was a pom- useless parade, more calculated to exeite j^icule than the fear of the people, and we fear only feeling uppermost in their minds is that of je at their own adroitness, which, after many eases of breaches of the peace, had ena- them to escape with impunity, with the soli- e:tception. which occupied the time of the al commission.

It, INDIA. K?e Indian mail brings most important news. Moody revolution in which the whole of the family in the Punjaub have been extermi with the exception of an infant, ten years H*18 likely to provide for our armies very speedily, ■^gh the occasion which will justify their inter- K,c« has not yet occurred. ■Jle dynasty of Runjeet Sing, the old lion of ■ y»jaub,has not been along-lived one. Itun- ■ f°unded the empire, and after a life time of ■J^st and conciliation, spent something like billet Ali's in Egypt, he died and bequeathed to his son Kurruck Sing, who died and ■flowed by his son, who was killed accidentally Other's funeral. fiaan •)»« then ascendeu iuw — tering some opposition from a strong -rr to his claims, who were only silenced by a compro- mise. His reign was marked by no astonishing event except the dubious aid afforded by him to our government in their war against the Affkhans, in which it was often hard to say whether the Seikes were not watching for an opportunity to fall upon them at a disadvantage, and cut them off. Oriental despotism seems to produce only two kinds of princes, either warlike chiefs or despotic voluptuaries. Shere Sing appears to have been of the latter kind, his vices and irregularities having even called down upon him the reproaches of his own father, who was the last person in the world to reflect upon any one for such habits. Dissipated and feeble, his weak hands could hardly hold the reins of government, which were abandoned to his more energetic and ambitious vizier, Dhyan Sing, who ruled the country and the army in his master's name. Such power could not be trusted in the hands of a servant in any eastern country, without endangering the life of the sovereign prince, and accordingly we find that the first use which Dhyan Sing made of the large amount of treasure, whieh had beeu handed up by Runjeet Sing, was to bribe the military to the extent of five millions ster- ling. Suspicious of what was going on, Shere Sing called hia minister to account, quarrelled with him, was apparently reconciled again, and finally fell a victim to the plot which was hatched against his life, of which we give thfe details in another column. Eastern countries have been for countless centu- ries the theatres of similar revolutions. It may be predicated of all oriental despotisms that their princes are even doomed to die a violent death, if they reign long enongh to stir up the hatred or cu- pidity of their followers or relatives. Be they meek or violent, peaceful or warlike, the same risk seems to encompass them, the same bowl or dagger makes away with all, one after another, while, through the dreadful influence of polygamy, a wholesale slaughter of females and children, in any ways allied or connected with them, is sure to be perpetrated, as a means of protecting the house- hold gods of the successful usurper, who Bears, like the Turk, no rival near the throne." Nothing proves the incapacity of those govern- ments for improvement so much as the frequency of these seraglio revolutions and slaughters. Wherever British authority has not extended, every interval of twenty or thirty years, or even shorter, beholds a repetition of the same sanguinary events until one chief or usurper, more courageous or un- scrupulous than his predecessors, attains to sove- reign power, and keeps it by dint of ceaseless watch- ing, untiring energy, and revolting crimes; such men for example as Runjeet Sing, Dost Mahomed, or Mehemet Ali of Egypt. The dynasty of Runjeet Sing, the founder of the empire of the Punjaub being destroyed, and the country on the eve of bloodshed and anarchy, the question comes to be, what will our Indian go- vernment do? Will they yiterfere to protect the reigning child as being the son of Runjeet Sing, in virtue of the treaty of alliance, offensive and defen- sive, signed with that monarch in bis life, and sub- sequently confirmed with Shere Sing, or will they construe it to mean only an obligation to defend him against external and not internal enemies ? Who is there to call upon them for its fulfilment, Runjeet Sing being dead and gone, and all their de- scendants in their gory graves their very murderers being dead likewise by mutual assassination like the characters in Shakspere's Titus Adronicus. It is difficult to see upon what pretext Lord Ellenborough can interfere in the affairs of the Seiks at present, unless that in preventing the anar. chy and disorganisation of the Seiks' empire from injuring our own dominions, which reach within fifty miles of their capital. Much has been said of the difficulty and danger of attacking the Seiks, with their disciplined army of 95,000 men, officered by European generals, but we do not apprehend much risk from their prowess, knowing from the evidence of sundry modern travellers, that their discipline and morale have been much deteriorated since the death of old Runjeet. They have lost so much of their discipline as to Unfit them to cope with OUT regular Sopoyo, yet re- tain so much of it as to unfit them for serving as irregulars with either force or success. The Seik at any time is not a brave soldier. He never was a match for the hardy Affghans, with whom their coutests were perpetually carried on. It is true that Runjeet conquered Lahore and Cashmeer from the Affghans, but it was mainly by his artillery, under the guidance of Generals Allard and Ventura, that his victories were won. At any time our Sepoys would match the Seiks: with Bri- tish officers they would infallibly overcome them. Out of the whole force not more than 25,000 are disciplined after the European manner one or two pitched battles would destroy their power com- pletely.

The promoters of Free Trade must feel greatly obliged to the Beacon for continuing to agitate the Corn Law question. In fact, when our con- temporary writes on this subject, he may be said with some truth to advertise for a Free Trade insurrection—for a paving of the way for an in- vasion of the League; an enterprise which is no doubt near at hand. In our less effectual way. we shall endeavour to promote the same object.

LOGAI. XNTSXiUG-BNCB. Our winter fair on Monday last was largely supplied with every description of stock, excepting horses, and those offered were of a wretched sort, there being not more than about half a dozen that could be said to be worth baying -very few exchanged hands. There seemed to be a good deal of hfe in the beef trade, but there did not appear to be an advance In price. Best quality 5d second and ordinary from 4d to 41d per lb. There seemed to be a brisk demand lor small oxen and steers of good quality, and in fair condmon many exchanged owners at rather better prices than at our late markets. The sheep pens were well filled mutton, best wethers 54 good ewes and erdinary from 3*d to 4§d per lb. The number of mountain ewes for lambing was considerable, and met with a heavy, slow sale, full 30 per cent lower than this fair twelve months. There were many good, useful pigs, which sold at miserably low prices; best bacoo and pork from 5s to 6s per score • small and fat country fed pork from 6s to 7s per score; small'stores, and io good condition, from five to seven months old, were bought at 10s each, and some smaller actually sold at 3s 6d each. AT THE TOWN HALL.—*A commit- tee of the seceders from the Welsh Baptist congregation of worshipper, in this town, got up a large tea-party at the New- port town-hall, the Mayor presiding, on Monday evening laat. on behalf of the funds now in course of collection for building the Bsptist Temple," on the Pillgwenlly road and like the generality of tea parties in this tea-bibbing community, it was attended by a vast number of individuals, about two-thirds of whom we are informed, were of the gentler sex," to whom the gentlemeo were assiduously attentive. After the removal of the cloth," the minister of the New Temple, Mr. Morris, the Mayor, and other gentlemen, addressed the alsemblage j and Mr. Morris ever mindful that good tempers, merry hearts, and broad laughs are capital auxiliaries to the process of digestion, kept his audience in a continuous flow of spirits by his harmless mirth, on the exhilirating occasion. We need scarcely add that all were delighted with tea and the speeches, for The cup that cheers, but not inebriates," has long since been acknowledged as one of the fineat pro. raoteis of The feast of reason, and the flow of soul." DIRTY STREETS.— We have been requested to state tbat the streets in Newport alluded to by Cosmopo lite" in our lilt number (which excited very general attention) as being in a filthy and almost impassable state, belong, not to the CommUsiooer8 acting under the Newport Improvement Act, but to private individuals and companies. It is, we know, neverthetest the duty of some party or other to put the streets compUined of io thorough repair; and it would not be amiss if the "Improvement" Commissioners were to look after those streets which are under their supeivision; for we perceive, as the wet months advance, that the old state ot things-Io wit, ancle-deep mud in our principal thoroughfares, is coming—as USU(5UY FAWKES.—The little urchins and the children of larger growth," who delight to indulge annually in afierv and noisy commemoration of the Gunpowder PIOI, amused "themselves on Monday night last in blazing away with squibs, crackers, and fiziiog fireworks of divers sorts, agains shopwindows, unprotected females, and one another. There had been no It proclamation" issued against the due celebra- tion of this day. and the police were therefore defied; and up to a late hour this villainous saltpetre, tar, pitch, and other ignitive and explosive ingredients, were in great requisition.—- Happily, the commemoration of this time-honoured rehque of the wisdom of our ancestors." weot off harmless, and like its squibs, ended in stench and smoke. THE IRON TRADE.—We are happy to give cur- rency to a rumoured advance in the price of iron, amounting, as we understand, on large orders lecenllyagreed oayto5*. per ton. It would be an agreeable coincidence were we ab » to announce at the same time, that the coal of our district (ad- mitted to be ofaupetior quality by traders in all the great mar. kan), had reached. ien»Mr«tiog figure* I^EWPOBT.—Mr. Abraham Cle- druggist, has been appointed by the Lords ,-oury, sub-distributor of stamps, for this towo. We 1 beg to refer to our advertising colums for Mr. Clements ad. > dress. 1 On Tuesday, the 31st of October, Mrs. Tamplin, wife of John Taraplin, of the George, Bristol trader, gave birth to three children-two sons and a daughter. The father being in embarrassed circumstances in consequence of ill- health, arising from injuries received by shipwrecks and other accidents, was unable adequately to provide for the unusual increase to his family, which it had pleased Providence to send him and the case of the poor woman being taken into consideration by some kind and humane individuals} who 'n- terested themselves in her behalf, they set on foot a Subscrip- tion, which, we are happy to hear, has afforded the means of providing the necessary comforts for the mother and her off- spring. Among the contributors to this most deserving fund was Sir Charles Morgan, ever foremost in works of benevo. lence, who, besides a sum of money, ordered a supply of clothing and other articles to he sent to the poor family We are informed that the sum of about ten pounds, has been already collected, and that the subscription list remains still open at Mr. Desmond's shop, opposite the Westgate Hotel, where j subscriptions will be thankfully received. We regret to hear that one of the infants has died. The others, together with the mother, are going on favourably. DREADFUL AND FATAL ACCIDENT.—On Thursday last, Mr Jeremiah Bevan, a respectable shoemaker, residing at Hannam, near Bristol, who had been on his journey ( over the Hills, was returning to Newport from TreJegar, and being somewhat fatigued, he mounted on the last of a team of trams which was coming in this direction. When at Risca- seeing an engine with another team of trams coming up be- hind at a much quicker rate than that on which he rode, he wished to exchange, and the engine train, as it came along- side his, having slackened its pace, to go easily over a new piece of ground, he aitempied to jump from the trams upon which he rode to the last tram attached to the engine; unlor- tunately in doing so, he slipped and fell across the plates, when the wheels of the tram passed over his thighs close to the trunk, inflicting on him the most dreadful injuries. He was imme- diately earned into the house of a person who had been a cus. tomer of his, where he was soon attended by a surgeon, but the injuries he received were of such a serious nature as to render skill and humanity unavailing. The accident occurred about two o'clock in the afternoon, and the sufferer had bieathed his last before eight. Mr. Bevan had been for several years a preacher in the Methodist connexion, and highly respected by a large and respectable circle of acquaintance. He has left a widow and four children to deplore his sudden and melancholy death. THE HERO COACH.—We perceive by an adver- tisement which appears in another column that this coach, which has afforded for some years a means of direct communi- cation from Cardiff through this town, IJsk, Monmnulh, Ross, Ledbury, Malvern, and Worcester, to Birmingham, before that time so much wanted, has altered its time of starting from Car- diff, from half-past six o'clock on the morning of Monday, Wednesday, ani Friday, to half-past eight o'clock on the same mornings. It will leave this town at 10 o'clock instead of 8, as heretofore, which will be a much more convenient hour to travellers, particularly at this season of the year. The great accommodation afforded by this safe and elegant coach must be duly appreciated by those who recollect the inconvenience and expense which they incurred whenever they had occasion to iravel from this town to Monmouth before its establishment. The alteration commences on Monday next, the 13th inst. WEEKLY HALF-HOLIDAY IN MANCHESTER. —We stated on a recent occasion that a movement had been for some time in progress in Manchester, highly credilable to the merchants and propnetors of warehouses in that great centie of industry, intelligence, and commercial enterprise, viz., to afford to all those in their employment one half-holiday every week (afier 1 o'clock on the Saturday) in order to enable them to enjoy the recreation and exercise so necessary to health, and to acquire the mental culture necessary for the developement of their mtelleciual faculties. We are happy to see by an adver- tisement which appears in another column, that between 500 and 600 of the leading houses in Manchesier have come into the arrangement, of the establishment of which there is now, we believe, no doubt entertained. The deserving class of persons thus benefitted, will have relson to feel deeply grateful to the generous and considerate feeling of their employers. CURIOUS MANUSCRIPT.—Besides the valua- ble recipe from which Parr's Pills are now compounded, ihere are several MSS pieces, written in his old quaint style, on the value of health. His opinions, though somewhat differently expressed, were, that the varieties of clime and modes of living make but litle difference to our period of emleoce that the laws of nature are simple and easily understood, and they reo quire perfect obedience.

ABERGAVENNY. ABERGAVENNY.—COMPLETE SUFFRAGE.— About a fortnight since, the Revd. Mr. Spencer, of Hinton Charter House, near Balh, delivered a lecture on "Complete Suffrage," in the Baptist chapel, Frogmore-street, the Revd. Micah Thomas, minis'erof the place, presiding. Mr Spencer's speech was a most powerful one, in which all the arguments in favour of plain justice and common right were used with a master's hand. In this lumincus discourse there was no at. tempt at display, nor a sentence uttered calculated to excile the passions, It was the appeal of a strong-minded and an honest man, who thoioogMy understood his subject, to the judgment of a thinking audience. He was listened to about two iiouis with the deepest attention. His object in coming here was to promote a movement in favour of Mr Sturge's so- cietY-lhe Complete Suffrage Union, and he has to a consi- derable exieot succeeded, for, according to announcement, apubtic meeting was held in the Teetolal Hall, on Tuesday mgiii test, to form an association. The meeting was called for half-past seven, by whicn nour the room was crowded— principally by mechanics. It was moved and seconded by two working men that the Rev. Micah Thomas should take the chair, which he did, and very efficiently performed the duties which devolved upon him. He stated very distinctly what was meant by complete suffrage, and by what means it llIight. he thought, be obtained. lie brought forward several propositions, which, after due discussion, assumed the shape of resolutions, and received the approval of the meeting. The society was formed, and a subscription of not less than 2d per month, constitutes a member. Meetings are to be held monthly, and the business is to be managed by a e m- mlttee, every subscriber of 2d a month being eligible to sit in committee, and seven to form a quorum. The speakers aod movers of resolutions were Mr Daniel, Mr Conway, Mr Tozer, Mr Griffiths, schoolmaster, and Mr Thos. Graham. ROBBERY.—On Saturday last, Mr. James Tracey Harvey, watchmaker, lefr his shop for a few minutes, during which interval some person opened his glass case, and robbed him of two watches. Patrick, our active constable, was sent for, and from the description given him by a neigh- bour, who had seen a strange boy go in and out, Ills sus. picions fell on a lad whom he had seen skulking about the town for a day or two previously, and from information he had obtained, Patrick immediately started at the top of his speed towards Pontypoo) but before he bad gone half-a- mile he met a friend riding whose horse be borrowed, and overtook near Llanellao the object of his search. He was taken mto custody, and within a few yards of him, the two Ion watches were digcovered on the ground. He has since been committed to take his trial for the robbery. He was apprehended within half an hour of the time the property was Btoten.

MON MO U T H. Mr. Evans, draper, was elected Mayor of Mon- mouth for the ensuing year, on Thursday last Air. Evans held the same office two yea.s since. The honour of chief magis- trate of Monmouth is subject to an annual begging: the gen. tlemen of the Town Council appear to underrate its importance, or they are tor the greater part, too modest to deem themselves competent to the discharge of the duties of the mayoralty.— After the election, the Council invited the ex-Mayor Thomas Greatrix, Esq., to dine with them, at ihe King's Head Inn. Mr. G. has given universal satisfaction in the discharge of his official duties. g On Tuesday evening last, a pair of boots was stolen from the shop of Mr. William Watkins, of Monmouth. On the following day, Mr. W. posted a humorous notice in his window, stating that should the boots not fit the parly who took them, they would be gladly received back again. On Monday last, Mrs. Heath, of Monmouth whilst in the act of seating herself on a chair in her parlour, slipped her foot, and falling on one side, fractured her thigh: We are happy to say that our aged and much-respected friend although she necessarily endured much pain from the accident' is going on favourably. We were in error in stating in our last, that Mr. Edward Phillips was elected a town councillor for Monmouth. Mr. William Morgan was elected with the other gentlemen named, but not being an householder, his election is void, and another must take place. The Monmouthshire Hounds will meet on— 13, Monday ..Coldbrook Park 16, Thursday..8 mile stone, new Rossroad. At Ten o'clock.

BLAENAFON.—The public will be glad to hear that the Blaenafon Iron Company have discontinued the Truck System. Cash weekly, without restraint or intimidation what- ever, as regards the Tommy Shop," is the order of the day here. If the Clydach Iron Company were to go and do like- wise, they would receive the blessings of hundreds. From a Correspondent. WONDERS WJLL NEVER CEASE.—The Blaenavon lion and Coal Company last year cuhivatelllt waste part of the Coity Mountain, adjoining their land, and, through the inde- fatigable exertions 01 their persevering farm-agent Mr. William Fergusson, part of the same was sown with oats, and the re- mainder was set with potatoes and had a most excellent crop of each. In raising the produce of the latter there was one pota- toe which weighed the extraordinary weight of 2lbs. and mea- sured eight inches in fength-and thirteen inches in girth. I On Saturday night last, the counting-house of the Cwm Celyn and Blaina Iron Works was forcibly entered by some thieves, who broke open and ransacked the whole of the drawers, cupboards, chests, &c, cariyingoff about 55s in cash, also an over coat, a pair of gold watch seal9, with the initials J. B., in old English, on the larger one, belonging to Mr James Brown, and other small articles of no great value. Fortuoately, a remittance of £250 in cash received the pre- vious night, and left in one of the drawers' broken open, was unobserved by the robbers. No clue has yet been obtained to Ihe burglars. NEATH.—At a petty sessions held on Tuesday. the 71h instant, Henry Burt, late clerk to Mr. Whititngton. auctioneer, Neath, was fully committed to take his trial at the next General Quarter Scions for the county on a charge of embewlement. Several cases were proved agalDst the pn. soner. THE POLICE IN WALES.—On Saturday morn- <ng last another batch of police constables, consisting of fifteen n. teg..

NEWPORT CEMETERY. This beautiful and picturesque place of sepulture, as it is rurally and architecturally ornamental to the neighbourhood, vvas opened with iutcrest'oct services on Monday morning, the 6th instant; and though somewhat unfavourable weather pre- vented a very crowded assemblage of persons, the classic Necropolis was well filled with a respectable and attentive audience. We were glad to perceive that the first fruits of Lie Mechanics' Institute singing class were offered to the public on this occasion. A number of talented performers from that class, accompanied by a finely-ioned seraphme, which was kindly lent by Mr. Aaron Crossficld. and ably presided at bvjti. Rees, organist at the English Baptist Chapel,delighted all pre- sent by the efficient and excellent manner in which they sung the beautiful tunes selected to aid in the celebiation ot this era in the history of Newport.. •, We cannot do better here than again to gilé publicity to a description of the Cemetery, which recently appeared in our columns The classic and beautiful structure, erected as a chapel, is an object of general admiration, and reflects ine highest credit on the architect, Mt. Langdon, whose talents have been so much exercised In improving the appearance ot many parts of this locality. It is an exquisite specimen oi ine Grecian Doric, with fittings of the venerable Egyptian order, and harmonites more with the solemn and sacred purpose than any building of the kfrid, f with, perhaps, the exception ot the temple at the Liverpool'Cemetery,) than anything we have witnessed in this kingdom. The basement is fitted up witn catacombs for 150 burials; these are properly ura^ec, and I perfectly ventilated, from the roof of the building- Uver t.i_e baserllent is the Necropolis intended for the burial service it is 32 feet in length, by 26, and is neatly 20 feet in height, and the dim religious li^ht' admitted through painted glass, judi- ciously imparts peculiar solemnity to the place. It is intended to build brick graves on each side of the temple, and to cover them with a collonade these graves wi l be constructed in uni- form order, and kept dr'y." f „ Around the platform we observed the Mayor of Newport, Messrs. Corsbie, Cairns, Dowhng, Crossfield, Hodgkinson, Baicnelor, and several strangers and resident gentlemen of the town together wiih the Revs. D. Rhys Stephen, English Bap- tist minister, Thomas Gilman, Independent minister, N. Sib- ley, Wesleyan minister, Thomas Matthews, Welsh Independ- ent minister, William Thomas, Welsh Baptist minister, &c. The service commenced by singing a psalm after which the Rev. D. H. Stephen ascended the platform, and impressively read the "i3rd chapter of Genises, and the 15th chapter of the first epistle to the Corinthians and having concluded these touching and appropriate portions of Scripture, the rev. gen- tleman at once proceeded to deliver the following eloquent and chaste addres*. which was listened to tlnoughout with the most profound ttteatioat*- In setting apart places for the respectful and solemn intef- meni of the dead, we only act in unison with feeltngs and practices that have in all ages and in every clime actuated the human mind. Under the influence of a debasing sensuality on the one hand, or of a Godless philosophy on the other, indivi- duals may have been found to contemn and despise their own bodies, and to insult the remains of theii fellow-creatures; but such Clmduct has never under any actual combin;¡1ion of cir. cumstances approved itself to the general sense of mankind. [his we can easily account for, by a rderence to the emotions of our own hearts- Have we ever lost friends 1 Have we ever come to the grave, and left in its gloomy recesses those that >vere dear to us as life itself 1 Have we ever stood with laceraled- with riven hearts, robbed in the deaths of those we loved, of all that made life deir—of all that, to our then conceptions, gilded with beauty and brightness this toilsome pilfiiimage 1 In such cases, have not our reminiscences of them refered primarily to the body—to the external, the tangible. the visible person ? Do we not find it impossible to retain any recollection of them hut by remembering the forms whose presence so deliehted us-the hand that was ever extended to us in friendship and confidence, and was ever prepared to defend and protect us-the face, that human face divine," which in all its varied expression of feelings and passions would always gaze upon us with be- nignity and love—tbat countenance whose every lineament teemed wi h kindness and affection Thus the parent retains a vivid and ineradicable remembrance of the lost child-the child a mournful recollection of the departed parent—the husband and the wife of the other being, that was not another, the individual to whom for a time the survivor was united in ties which during theircontinuance, by a thorough identification of purpose, interest and affection, did all but amalgamate their beings. As believers in mental and spiritual existence, we of course believe that in these cases the body is the instrument of the mind but, at the same tune we remember, that of the mind we know nothing but through the body. How dear, therefore, must be to us that instrument through which alone we have been able to hold converse with minds—through which we have had intercourse and communion with hearts, with full and swelling hearts. How utterly cold-how freezing—how cheer- less—how intolerably cheerless—how mean and unmanly is that" philosophy fatsetyso called"—that vain deceit"—thit preposterous and impudent delusion, that would preclude respect for the lifeless human body—the dwelling-place ot earth's chiefest mhaultant thmking resolviog-Ieaoog- hoping—but undying man. We will none of it, my beloved friends. We will submit ourselves to the more unsophisticated directions of the universal conSCIence-to the higher and pure, dictates of the universal heartof man. Amid all the errors and crimes that almost constitute the history of our race, we will recognize in man's treatment of the dead in all lands, a proot that the originallovehness of our nature is not utterly lost, and that there is among the most debased of our species some vestage of our lofty orlgm-some presumptive proof of our sublime destination. Various modes of disposing of the dead obtained amongst the ancients. The Egyptians, by a process of embalming, now lost to the world, preserved the bodies of the dead. This they did, perhaps, because they had little belief in and little hope of immortality, or because they would thus gra- tify their feeiings of love and veneration. In the mummies, to be seen this day, we have the frames and forms of those whose spirits have passed into the invisible state foity centuiies ago— of those, probably, who conversed with Moses, who personally witnessed his miracles-of those, il is far fiom being fanciful to suppose, who administered under the regency of Joseph, or who saw Jacob entering Egypt to see Joseph before he died. Urn-burial obtained amongst the Greeks: the body was in the first place burnt, the ashes were then carefully collected and deposited in an urn. In the design, construction, and or- namenting of these urns, all the skill and power of the painter and the sculptor were frequently exhausted. The precious vessel, with its more precious contents, was then placed 00 a pedestal or in a niche-the fondest and the most highly trea- sured ornament of the hall, the private apartment, or the grove. The Hindoos, to this day, thus dispose of their illustrious dead heaping on the funei»l pile the most expensive ingredients, in the share of spices and odours and even precious jewels. Although to us this seems revolting, we must not regard it as a barbarous custom wiihout considering the principle ill which it originated. It was, unquestionably, intended thus to reduce the body into its original elements and I confess it appears to me to be an intrinsically beautiful, an exquisitely sublime conception. The philosophy of Thales, the celebrated Greek sage, taught that water was the primordial principle from which all the other elements wele educed; and for the same purpose as that con- templated in burning, under the influence of this theory bodies have been buried by immersion, thereby reducing them to the single element-the source of all other forms and conditions of physical existence. Thus you behold everywhere, if you find man there, an imperishable yearning after ultimate quietness— an uncesing aspiration after final repose? The Jews buried their dead; and so highly and reverently was buiial regarded that to be deprived of the ntes of sepulture was the greatest in- dignity that could be inflicted on the abandoned and therepro- bate. Christians have generally adopted this practice. In their case,^he inhumation of the dead has a peculiar propriety, 011 grounds distinct and separaefrom those already adveited to arising from the specific doctiinal character of their religion. The doctrine of ihe resurrection is peculiarl y a doctrine of Revelation, utterly unknown to the ancients of hta^hen times and coun- tries, partially revealed to the Jews. It is the Christians pri- vilege to delight and exult in a firm belief of this glorious truth. The body of the believer in the Gospel was redeemed by the blood that atoned for the sins of the world. The time draws on When not a single spot of burial earth, Whether on land or in the spacious sea, But must give up its long-committed dust Jnviol¡¡te," Ves, the dead shall live again The Messiah—the desire of all nations—He hath abolished death, and hath brought life and inconuption to light through the Gospel. He shall stand the last on the earth, when all the generations of mankind shall have been taken down to the tomb, and with omnipotent voice He will call on the earth and the sea to give up their dead, and every individual ot our race, through all the stages of its exis- tence, must receive the final reward from His mouth. This doctrine invests the grave with a new, endearing, and lofty in- terest. Itis,indeed, the long but still only the temporary resting place of the dead. If those who had not the knowledge of this doctrine treated the dead and their receptacles with reo verfnce, how much more should we who can connect with the very ravages of death, and associate with the loathsome cere- ments of the tomb, the sure and certain hope of life again-of re-union—of re-union for ever! It is in the spirit, and with the object, which these and kindred considerations superinduce and create that this cemetery—this resting place for the dead-has been prepared, and is now offered to the service and accommo- dation of the public of Newport and its vicinity. The dearth, of room for convenient sepulture has been much felt in this town. Th's induced some gentlemen to entertain the project of the Newport Cemetery. It originated, I believe, principally, if not exclusively, with a lamented minister now no more amongst us, the Rev. Benjamin Byron. When he was l/lst to us the enterprise was not ab.indi ned, this field was purchased; the proprietors have vested it in trust for the purposes of burials, under the terms and provisions of a trust-deed, most elaborately and carefully prepared, for ever. This is one of the advantages of this burial place,—it is freehold; and there is no danger that the remains of the dead will be insulted or disturbed. It is open for the interment of persons of all classes, complexions, and creeds". There are in the estimation of the proprietors, causes enough, and more than enough, already in operation, to keep man from man, and to band and arrav us apart from, and hostile to, each other. We would fam diminish them even here. It were worth living for in our estimation, if we suc- ceeded to persuade all those to whom we nave access, that man has a common character, and that the more we trust one another the greater will be our mutual esteem and our mutual felicity. At all events, this we can do we can refuse to carry our nar- row prejudices—our selfish bigotry—our contracted sectarian- isms, to the grave. We can admit and act out the principle of the admission, that here all men are equal, that every man alike has claim to the narrow strip of earth which will as well enclose the high as the low, with all the concomitant circumstances ot tenderness and respect, without invidious distinction as to the manner or place of interment. For this reason we have no paling to divide the ground into consecrate and less holy por- tions. The question will not be asked, what were the religious opinions of the deceased 1 We shall not harrow the feelings of the living by reflections upon the dead. Should the foreigner —the Turk, the Hindoo, the Caffre, or the Indian, breathe out his last amongst us, here he may, without any mark of inferio- rity or distinction, lie in peace, awaiting the appearance of that Judge who is 110 respector of persons but in every nation he that feareth Him and worketh li^lueousness is accepted with Him. Under the influence of the 'same principle, the friends of the deceased ma« bring with them here the officiating minister they may preler. While the secretary of the company will be always piepared to secure the services of a minister when applied to to do so, the principle will be fully carried out that the relations do so act for themselves whenever they may preterit so. We repudiate the idea, that your spiritual gu (fes. in life, and those who offer you the consolations of ieligion in death, are not fit persons to stand beside your slaves and perform for you the last service of kindness and piety. We repudiate the idea as most preposterous and most unchristian, and we wtll carefully abstain from the practice. We would not forget the connexion of this place with the feelings and advantges of the living. It will bacome gradually endeared to us as our friends are one after the other gathered here to sleep undisturbed by the turmoils and cares of the feverish dream of this life. Hither will be seen hereafter many a..mourner meditating among the tombs, holding imaginary converse with the Beloved and the Lost, and returning to the world wiser and better. Here,already, some lie-whose dear remembrance is entwined about still throbbing and living breasts and here others dear to us as the rudd) drops that visi tthe sad heart" are about being brought. Here, it is most probable, not a few of us who have taken an active part in preparing this Cemetery shall ourselves, we know not how soon, be brought to 14Y down without one aching throb our weary heads. Let us remember that to live wisely is to live well—is to live according to a definition found in the Bes- Hook, "a life of faith in the Son of God, who hath loved us and who gave himself for us." The man that so lives shall ■ Approach hiB grave Like one that wrapt the mantle of hIs couch About him, and 11.. down to pleMMt dreamt/' j Mr. GUIr ,ered a short; religious ad< Ir.Mulloc", mayor, crpla *».*D con- junction with .&fy,toearry out the under fi P shillings, and p ™ve- 1 "e-v had carried the v\ resPec'a" ble, convenient, ana be provided for the necessities of this. • He was happy in being able to assure them, tis. cemetery being freehoid property, the ashes of the dead might repose there undisturbed till the resurrection.

The do.vology was then sung, after which the audience otv persed, and rambled through the walks, which have been laid out with great taste, and are adorned with a variety of shrubs, &c.; and many were the eulogies we heard passed on the beauty and pleasing diversity which characterise the Necropolis and the grounds set apart for the last earthly resting-phce of those, who— When life's fitful dream is o'er," may desire to lay their ashes in that quiet and pleasant spot, till time shall be no more.

NEWPORT TOWN HALL.—MONDAY, Nov. 6. Before the Manor, and T. Hughes, and L. Edwards, Esgrs. Charles Chapman, alias Charley Porkey. was charged with obtaining £1 16,. 3d. under false pretences, of Captain Rich ard Hearce, of tins pert. It appeared that Ghapwsn is a hobhier, employed upon one of the old stages of the Canal Company, on the east side of ihe river llsli, byone John Williams, who has the use of a certain ballast jetty: Captain Pearce's vessel discharged her ballast at this jetty, and the prisoner, on pretence of being the proper person to receive the money due to Williams, the ganger, for d.schercing her, applied to Captalo Pearce for the amount, who immediately pqid him. As Porkey was not the prope, nefon to receive this amount, and Captain Pearce was still i; ,7P in Uiams for it, ihe charge was preferred against him. strongly recommended Chapman to adjust 1 he magi, rate* ? ? f dete,miDerf on proceed- I mailer with 1 fi„d the expenses very heavy, ing with the case, .ej w u ip court might not be quite and perhaps, after all, a seulemen* so satisfactory lo thein. h-rged with allow- Tliomas Davics, a befif-hoOse keeper, was ctw & ing card-pla. ing in his house. <.e |)acj Mr. Pyke havtng enquired of the defendant whether brought his licence with him, he replied that he had nti". be., causé he had nnt gnt it. He had been selling aboo't si* months' 1 without the license, but he had p«id for it. He believed he Was ¡ liable, but he cou!d assure the Bench that he had paid for 1m license, and was now waiting for the exciseman to bring it to I him. The Bench gave him a week to produce his license, when the case against him would be heard. Mr. Pyke said the case could be en'ered upon at once with- out the license. It depended on the defendant 10 show who. ther his heuse was properly licensed or not. If he said he was not licensed, he was liable to be charged with unlawfully sel- ling beer and if he acknowledged he was licensed-os he has stated himself to We—why then the charge preferred against j him, of allowing card-playing in his house, could now b< heard and adiudicalfd. Mr Hughesand Mr. Edwards said they thought the chargf against the defencant to be that of selling beer without a licence, but since the contrary was the case, they would enter upon the hearing of the alleged offence at once. Marv Williams was then sworn, and examined by Mr. Pyke She said she was the wife of John Williams, the ganger" 01 the ballast-stage alluded to in the preceding case. On Satur- day last witness went to the Green Dragon, a beer-house, kept by defendant, to see for Chapman, by the request of her hus- band, and found him in a room at that house, with William Green, "Young Franklin," and a soldier, sitting round the table, as if playing at cards, and Charles Chapman had the cards in his hands. She asked Chapman lor her husband s money, but he only threw his two hands into her face," and said to the company, play on, play on." She told him it was too bad 10 spend her husband's money, which he had received for discharging ballast, but he only made game" at her. She didn't know whether they were black or while, butshebeben-d they were cards, for she saw the painted sides. She did nt gei the money of Chapman for her husband, and left. Charles Chapman, the prisoner in the lasi case acknow. ledged on oath that he played at all-fours," for a pint of bet: j a-game, with the company described above, at defendant s house, the Green Dragon, in Friars' Fields, on Saturday nighl last, at which game he was the loser. The cards belonged in the house. He had played at cards there last week, aDd often, and the landlord had played with him on some of these occa- sions. Davies allowed that he might have played at catds with the witness Chapman in his house; but neither he nor his wife *ere there when they played at cards on Saturday evening las, David Jones, Commercial-street, p'asterer and tiler, was his surety. He hoptd the Bench would let him off as ligbtly 6. possible. The Bench, taking into consideration that the defendant hao never been convicted utfore of any offence, fined him in the j penalty of £2 and costs. The Mayor cautioned the defendant. Tt was a serious offence, and should be a warning to him. He shou never allow card-claying in his house, lor those whom he allowed 10 play, mIght. as iD this cue, be Ihe fHrties who 00 oath con victed him. For the first offence they (the Bench), could no' fine him less than £2; for the second offence, £5; and for the third offence, £10, and costs in each case, together with being disallowed to keep a heer-hou<e for lwo years. Ann Lewis, alias Glove-an i-Shears, was charged with rob- bing Charles Evans, of Bassaleg, of 8..6d. The prosecutor oid uot appear, and the Mayor discharged her withapropfr, caution. Mary Ann Beach, alias Bag of Razors, who said she was a native of Monmouih, but had resided in Newport several years, was charged wiih sleeping in the Parrot hay-loft. The Bag of Razors did not seem very "sharp," alheit her name indIca led something exceedingly keen, for her face was 8S round aa B moon; aad the Beach, having lectured her, gave her liberty. Captain Charles Hrrmaa was charged with unlawfully de- | taining the register of a certain vessel. The case was adjou/ned till the following morning, when the complainant not being able to prove the execution of the powel of attorney put in, the case was dismissed.

Tm'RSDAY, Nov. 9. Before Thomas Hughes alia Thomas Hawhins, Esqs, THE t, HI;U:G" MONOMANIA. James Irvine, a shadow of former respectability, having onct been a chemist and druggist, and being now a tramper," wa- cfnrjed with stealing a two-loot rule, the property of Mr.Jones, diuggist, of High-street. it appeared that the prisoner went into Mr. Jones's shop to purchase 2-i worth of articles, on Wednesday evening, and 1 hat while Mr. Jones was procuring those articles, the ptisoner ab stracled the rule, and left the shop. In about a quarter of an hour two men came in, who asked Mr. Jones if a rule they showed him was his. He said it was, and they informed him the prisoner had offered it for sale to them for two-pence. The prisoner was shortly afterwards taken into custody. The rule was p oduced, and identified by prosecutor. I The prisoner said he was drunk at the time, and having B fractured skull, he did not know what he was about but he recollected some one offering and giving him the rule for a che- mical preparation, and his subsequently offeriLg the rule for sale to some person in a public bouse. Committed for trial at the nexl quarter sessions. Thomas Sutton, master of the Herbert, of Cork, was charged with damaging the Samuel and Julia, Captain Vouties, to the amouDt of £2 65, on the 7th instaol.

DIVISION OF CHRISTCHURCH.-WEDNEsDH, NOV. 8 Before the Rev. Thomas Pope and John Russell, Esq. (At the Office of Messrs. Birch and Davis.) William Rose, assistant to W. Graham, sheriff's officer, was charged with an assault by Jeremiah James. Mr W. T. H. Pheips appeared for the complainant; and Mr Woollett for the defence. The charge arose oui of a disputed possessionof theSt.Julian's Inn, on ihe road between Newport and Caerleon. We col- lected from the evidence of James and his daughter, that the proprietor of the premises is Mr Godwin, of Caerleon, who let them to the laie Mr William Masters, who gave legal no- tice 10 surrender them on the 1st November last. The widow of Mr Masters left the house before the expiration of Ihe notice, and let it to a person named Edwards 'or the remainder of her term, who quitted the premises on the 31st of October, leaving Jeremiah James, the complainant in possession. On the fol- lowing ùay Rose, accompanied by several olher persons, came to the house, and having knocked at the door, was not allowed to enter. James went to the window, when Rase demanded payment of ten pounds, but produced no warrant or authority to make a distress. James refused to comply wi'h the demand, and endeavoured 10 sbulllte window, whtn he was prevented t.orn doing so, by Rose and those who accompanied him and they also pushed up a boy for the purpose of forcing him in ai the window. A serious scuffle then look place to prevent the en'.ry of the boy, James being supported by his family inside, one. or whom produced aD unloaded gun; and fi nally, Ille assailants were beaten off. On the next day the officeis came into the house, and made a seizure. James replevied, and the officers went out, but several persons intruded ihemseUes into the house inariotousanddisorderty manner, making very great noises, and creating serious disturbances, to the terror of James and his family, and those riotous persons lemained in the house from thaI lime tilllhe present. The magistrates concurred in stating their opinion that Rose had exceeded his authority but they consented 10 dismiss the complaint on Mr. Woollett undertaking to withdraw the per- sons who had intruded, and to give James peaceable possession. Thomas Godwin, William Godwin, William Morgan, and James Jones, were then charged by Jeremiah James wiih threatening bun and putiing him in fear of his life.— The de- fendants were required to enter into iheir own recognizances for £ 50 each, and to procure two sureties for £25 each to keep the peace for three rnonlhs. Geoige Gocwin then charged Jeremiah James with shooting off a gun, with intent lo do bodily harm to some of ihe peisons engaged in the affray at James's window, on the 1st of .No. vem ber. The magtstrates censured the complainant for his conduct in refraining from bringing this charge until the present IlIne, evi- dently for the purpose of holding it over the heads of the other party, lo induce them to come to terms with regard lo the dis- puled possession of the house and premises io question. The complaint was dismissed.
