BRECONI
BRECON PETTY SESSIONS.-WEDNESDAY. [Before David Thomas, Esq., Mayor. J HORSE STEALING.—David Lewis was charged with the above offence. The prosecutor, Wm. Morgan, of Nant- y-caredur, in the parish of Yatradfellte, stated that he had a pony grazing on Vanllid common, and lost it from there in the summer of 1856. He had not seen it since uutil that day in the fair, in the possession of P.C. Jones. He had no doubt as to the identity of the poney. The earmarks were exactly the same as on the poney he lostt Jenbin Jones, shepherd, stated that he was employed las vtarn\? ookino after prosecutor's sheep and ponies on n 1 common, and had the pony in question in charge. He remembered it being lost, and saw it in the fair that TC th 1 866 Lewis present, but was struok with the appearance of the pony from knowing prosecu- tor s well, lne pony was t»ken into a stable by 2 jockeys, and witness walked in and examined it, and was certain it was prosecutor's. William Baker, horse-dealer, stated he bought the pony in question, with two others, of the prisoner. He bought them on the turnpike road in Llanfaes. The three ponies were delivered to witness at the Cross Keys Inn. Witness afterwards saw P.C. Jones take the bay pony, one of the three he had bought, out of the stable. Witness then went to prioner and asked him to show him the three ponies, th-y both went to the stable and only saw two, and prisoner said the policeman had taken one. Upon coming out they met P.C. Jones, and witness, pointingtoprisoner, said, "Hereisthe gentle- man I bought the pony of. He had seen the pony in possession of the police constable, and that was one of the three he had bought of the prisoner. Evan Jones, police constable, stated that Jenkin Jones having told him he had seen a pony of prosecutor's in the fair that had been stolen, he accompanied him to the Cross Keys, and there pointed the pony out, which witness took possession of. He afterwards apprehended prisoner, and upon showing him the pony he remarked in English, "It is mine." The evidence having been read over to the prisoner he said, It is my father's horse, I have plenty who would prove it when the time comes." Prisoner was then committed for trial at the assizes.
CHEPSrOW.
CHEPSrOW. 1HB WIZARD AT FAULT.—Recently our townsfolk were informed by large placards, that Signor Bosco was coming, and this announcement was followed by three persons--the Signor, his brother, and a manager. On the evening appointed, the two appeared at the room in Bank-square, and having engaged a piano and performer, the Signor commenced operations by some common tricks, with but indifferent success. It happened that two com- mercial gentlemen were present, wha bad seen the rea Boaco, a id knew that ho was at present laid up, owing to the effects of an accident; they challenged the pretender with imposing on the good people of Chepstow, and de- manded a return of their admission money. This not being complied with, they procured a policeman, and succeeded in getting back the cash. Hereupon a scene of confusion ensued, in which some fighting took place. The manager (who it appeared had employed the Signor for a term) in the bustle, secured the cash box, containing about £,5, and vanished from the scene, leaving Bosco to settle with the company. The latter stated, that although he was not the Italian Bosco, still he was a Pole of that name, and promised to give a second performance on the morrow, when he said he would afford an explanation of the affair, at the same time giving tickets to those who had paid money that evening. On the morrow, the three adventurers were, of course, missing, having taken away the few sticks they brought with them, and forget- ing to pay the expenses of the room, the printer's bill, &c. We suppose by this time it is announced in some other town that Signor Bosco is coming!" THE INDIAN MUTINIES.—Chepstow has the honour, we find, to be the first town in Monmouthshire to set the example of a meeting for the relief of the wretched sufferers by the emeute among the Sepoys of India. It met on Monday (the Vicar in the chair), and organised a scheme of collection which has done much, and will, we trust, do much more, should it only prove the means of awakening the liberality and enthusiasm of our county in a cause which most unquestionably has no parallel in history for the atrocities which have called it forth, or for the universal burst of indignation and sympathy which it has excited. Notice of the meeting, and its object, had been sent to all the parishes adjacent-the clergy of which have been requested by the committee to stir up their flocks to exertion—Chepstow itself being divided into districts under sub-committees, who viiit from house to house, and who, we understand, were rarely, indeed, met with refusal even from the poorest whom they addressed.

After the conclusion, the lecturer was highly applauded for his assiduity in prosecuting a research which must have cost him so much labour.

ASSAULT AT PONTYPOOL.—John Thos. Price, excise officer, was charged with assaulting Chas. Bowen.—Mr. Greenway for complainant, whostated that he was walking along the road last Saturday evening, in Crane-street, and metthe defendant, who struck him and knocked him down.

Bowen came up to Price and pushed him on the side, and the latter said, Don't come that again." Mr. Price said, What do you mean ?" Upon which his wife called him away. Bowen, however, struck at Price, and then the latter knocked him down.—Cross-examined: Was sober at the time. Had not been in a public-house with Price. Bowen was the worse of beer.—John Herbert substantially corroborated these statements.-The ma- gistrates said the provocation was an accidental or ima- ginary one, and the summons was therefore dismissed, Bowen to pay the costs, 12s. 6d.

The defendant had res- cued sheep from complainant on their way to the pound on several other occasions.-The defendant said the rea- son of his sheep trespassing was in consequence of the complainant not keeping proper fences.-Defendant was fined 10s., with 18s. costs.

USK.
USK. COUNTY COURT. Charles Stoekham v. John Roberts.-The plaintiff is a shoemaker at Usk, and the defendant a carpenter. The latter did not appear. The claim was for 6s. 6d., balance of the amount charged for a pair of boots. The money was ordered to be paid forthwith. Master and Hames v. Sophia Jones.-The plaintiffs, hawkers of grocery, sued for J61, the value of various packets of tea supplied to the defendant. The latter denied that she ever had the goods, but s iid if the plain.. tiff would swear that she owed it she'd not dispute any longer.-His Honour: They have sworn it.—Defendant: Well then let it bide, but they're great impostors—that's what they are, and they ought to be put down. (Laugh- ter.)—His Honour You must get a special Act of Par- liament to put them down.—Defendant: Well, Sir, I'd be the first as would sign it.-Ordered to pay 2s. a month. James Williams v. Edward Williams.—The plaintiff is a grocer at Usk, the defendant a clergyman, and the amount of the claim was 6s. 8d., balance of an account. Ordered to pay forthwith. Margaret Lewis v. R'-chard Evans.-The plaintiff in this case let a house to the defendant, at Raglan, at £ 12 per year, payable quarterly. The action was brought to recover one quarter's rent. The agreement was handed up, one clause of which provided that the house should be given up at the expiration of a quarter's notice. The notice was given by the defendant in the middle of the quarter, which was objected to by the plaintiff. His Honour looked over the uotice, and said he did not think it was a valid one. The effect of the wording of the agreement was that the tenancy should be determined by a three months' notice, which must expire at the end of the quarter. The defendant pleaded that at the time the notice was served it was accepted by the plaintiff as per- fectly valid. To prove this he called James Hood, who delivered it. The witness stated that he delivered the notice over to Mrs. Lewis, who said it was a day behind time, and she could force him to pay another quarter; but as Mr. Evans bad been a good tenant she would take it. A wordy and virulent dispute took place in court be- tween the parties, relative to their respective tempers. His Honour said he would consider his verdict and deli- ver it at the next court. Curtis v. Sullivan.—The claim was for goods supplied to defendant's wife. John Sullivan appeared, and denied that he had ever received anything.—His Honour Did your wife ?-Defendant: She's not my wife—she's my washing woman.-His Honour: But does she pass as your wife ?—Defendant: Oh no, your Honour.—The plaintiff's shopman deposed that he supplied the goods to defendant's wife—or a woman whom he imagined was his wife. She was called as a witness, and said she was called Mary Sul- livan, but she was not John Sullivan's wife. She ad- mitted being reputed to be such in the neighbourhood, and said, "May be John Sullivan did not know or cara where the goods came from." Ultimately his Honour ordered the money to be paid, 53. a month. James Jones v. Charles Price and Hannah Price.-The plaintiff sued for £ 1 7s., balance of account for a coffin made for the defendants' mother. Charles Price did not appear, but his sister, Anna Price, attended, and acknow- ledged that her brother owed the money. His Honour asked why a joint summons had been issued, and the plain'iff stated that the female defendant was cognisant of the debt. Anna Price denied that she had-ever entered into or was aware of any agreement between her brother and plaintiff. His Honour said he did not think the fe- male defendant was liable, she never having administered and the order in plaintiff's books was entered for Charles Price alone. It had over and over again been decided in the superior courts that a tradesman's books were the best proof of a debt, and in this case the books proved that the male defendant was liable. Anna Price at this point agreed to take upon herself the payment, and the matter was thus settled. Young v. Jones.—Mr. Blunt applied for an adjournment in this case, on the ground that the defendant was absent owing to the opening of the Monmouth Railway. The plaintiff objected to this, and the case was proceeded with. The plaintiff said he engaged himself as clerk to Mr. Jones, at 30s, per week, and he now claimed X26 7s., balance of his account. Mr. Blunt cross-examined the plaintiff, with a view of showing that he was addicted to pleasure to the neglect of his duties. He admitted that he was one of the parties suspected of wrenching off the knockers in the town, but was not convicted of that. He also admitted that he had charged in his account for a fortnight dnring which he was absent from defendant's service, and his Honour struck X3 out of the total sum. Mr. Blunt proceeded to prove that the plaintiff had not fulfilled the terms of his agreement, but his Honour re- minded him that the jemedy for the defendant in this case was by a cross action. While Jthe caso was being proceeded with an offer was received from Mr. Jones, offering to pay JBIS, which the plaintiff refused. Judg- ment given for jE23 7s. forthwith, his Honour advisinnr him to take £20, which he refused to do. °

The only danger attending such a wound was inflammation. In answer to Dr. Vachell, Mr. Bad- well said that the wound had penetrated the muscles. Witness considered that Wall was not able to follow his business. He was now, however, out of danger.—Re- manded till Friday next. John Thomas, a lad, was charged with stealing a shirt, the property of Thomas Bladen, boatman. Pri- soner said that prosecutor had sent him to fetch the article from his mother, who had it to wash.—Bladen denied having done so, and prisoner was committed.
.' ENGLISH BISHOPS AND CLERGY…
ENGLISH BISHOPS AND CLERGY IX "WALES. 7r "*7 7°mp a report in the Carnarvon and Denbigh w ?r of an address recently delivered by the Rev R. W. i)lor,,an, B. D. It Rhosymeùre we quote the follo wing pa SS3 ges nJ\e 1rCo is tho ProPefty of the Welsh people, not of the English Government or of English politicians nrJn°- any S0^6.93 ad venturer who has done or who wTh 1 WOrk aSai°st Walesa and the Xp Wl £ ngUaf lt3 Nine-lnths of tVJfi P,COpie aretdl^nters-wbat man of principle ndeed is not a dissenter, does not raise his yoice^ against the vile system I have described. But dissefiters in what sense ? I deny that they dissent from the Protes- tant principles of the Church of England-that which they do dissent from, as Christian and as Cymry isa vast fraud which has cut the throat of the Church of Eagland stript its dead body of its clothes, put them on itself and sits a burglar and robber in the disguise of its victim, at the old receipt of custom. And because the Cymry will have nothing to do with such state wolves in sheeps fleeces, they are forthwith branded as if they were dis- senters from the church of God in general, and the Church of England in particular. And wrong is heaped upon wrong, insult upon insult, calumny upon calumny. One grand effort of these bishops is to set Cymro against Cymro, for they know that if the Cymry could once unite to vindicate God, their country and their rights, they would be flung by the arm of an indignant people out of the country. Every expedient must therefore be adopted to sow strife, disunion, and mutual hatred amongst the native children of the soil. The newly-ordained priest is saturated with warnings to keep aloof from all heretics and schismatics, meaning nine-tenths of his countrymen he is told to look solely to an alien bishop and just in proportion as he succeeds in reviling the Welsh and des- troying under any pretences the Welsh language—that eternal monument of the wickedness and shamelessness of English bishops-he is assured of preferment. With English towns before his eyes boiling with immorality, drunkenness, and vice, he is sent to his parish to propa- gate the episcopal doctrine that the mere receipt of the English language will cure every evil incident to human nature-with purely Welsh counties challenging his observation so free from crime that English judges have only to put on white gloves and compliment Wales on the beauties of its scenery and the absence of crime amongst its inhabitants, he is charged to preach that the Weisli language is the fountain of crime and mother of ignorance. And in obedience to orders he goes down and enacts the part of the emissary of a hostile power to everything Welsh—except Welsh money. That after the example of his preceptor is considered by him quite orthodox, the door is never shut against it, and its evil communication does not corrupt his manners. Thus the result is, Wales is infested with English bishops, English archdeacons, English officials, not only not qualified for their work, not only defrauding the natives under false pretences, but at the same time abusing them and their language, acting in every sense as the bitter enemies, and not as men ot good will" towards nine-tenths of the Cambrian people. II! <if I Oh the wicked, the cruel, the insulting farce to the poor into which Christiauity is manufactured by church dignitaries. And again the address states by way of illustrating the severe exertions undergone by Dr. Short, "YJät within three years of his appointment he had visited every parish in the mountainous districts which rorms his diocese." Here is another cross," another 1 tribulation" only to be compensated by the £ 12,600. which during these three years this pious" bishop received. Our beauii ul land, our land ofheroes-and poets—a land that would breathe inspiration one could suppose for a passing moment at least, even into such a stolid pulpit stick as a Saxon archdeacon-a land at this moment literally glutted with tourists from every part of the civilised world who deem it the purest and highest treat for mind and body to wander over its glorious •oenes oh this land which so many thousands of hardworking Englishmen are too happy to have leisure and money to exist is to those Englishmen of the wrong stamp, these men who spunge for their religion on. the poor Welsh—nothing but a mountainous district," and they "sympathise" with all their puny souls, with their "fellow-sufferer" who went with the aid of a carriage and a pair of episcopal horses, this the Herculean task of visiting it—in three years for the paltry remuneration of £ 12,000. (roars of laughter). Ah but my friends what a contrast this is, what a contrast these men are to the msn who linve really evangelized Wabs-one is the Saxon, the popish wolf, the other is the type and succes- sor of the native Cymric minister, even as he was in the days of Bede and has been since. I affirm that so far as these English bishops are concerned, every native Welsh- man, for the last hundred years may have gone to the flames of hell (sensatiou). Strong language, but the facts will support it—for what Welshman have they con- verted, what Welshman have they taught, by the side of what Welshman in his dying moments have they knelt in prayer ? Not one. They are not only the shame of England but the curse of Wales—for what greater curse can there be to a nation than the withholding from it every Christian ordinance and light (hear, hear.) Welsh monay is for the Englishman-that is all he cares aboutt-bishop, archdeacon, or rector,-but as for Welsh souls, they may go to a Welsh curate, or as I said before, to perdition."

At Sneffield, on Tuesday, the Duchess of Norfolk laid the foundation stone of a school, to be called St. Mane's girl's school. Recent despatches from Tripoli have thrown some doubt upon the reported death of the traveller, Dr. VogeJ. In British Guiana several parties, men and women who were implicated in the outrage on the Governor and Mrs. Wodehouse, on their departure from the colony, have been arrested, and committed to take their trial for rioting. A NEW USE FOB THE LOADSTONE.—A needle pene- trated the thigh of a child, and remained there for a week, in spite of all efforts to extract it. At length, a large loadstone was held over the spot and after it had remained there above an hour, the needle was discovered and removed. It has been stated in some of the journals that tho Prince Napoleon is about to marry a princess of the house of Savoy, but this statement cannot be true, inas- much as the two daughters of the King of Sardinia, the 1 rineess Clotilda, and the Princess Mary, are only aged, respectively, 14 a-ld 10. o < On Tuesday, while some workmen were engaged forming a trench in a street in Dunkeld, there were discovered in the soil not less than from 500 to 700 small silver coins. On some of them the year 1,000 is quite visible, the coins bearing a Roman inscription. Galignani's Messenger announces that 7,445 francs towards the Fund for the Relief of the Sufferers in India have reached its office. In the list of contributors is the name of Mr. W. Makepeace Thackeray for 1,000 francs. Messrs. Galignani and Co. gave 1,000 francs. The names are mostly those of Englishmen. A number of troops embarked on Wednesday motning, from Tilbury fort, in the Gosport, for conveyance to Bombay. The number of men who embarked was 360. They comprised the Company's S.ippers and Miners, and gunners of the Company's Artiiicry; several of the Company's Engineer officers also embarked. SEQUESTRATION AGAINST COLONEL SLEIGH.—On Fri- ^av, the 4th instant, a meeting of creditors was held at Stephenson s Sale Rooms, Edinburgh, pursuant to notice in the Gazette of the 25th August last, under a seques- Tir vi0a 8rante^ .i'"1 Scotland, on the petition of Burrowes Willcocks, against Arthur Sleigh (lately proprietor of the JJaily Telegraph), described as of No. 39, West Camp- bell Street, Glasgow, and recently of No. 17, Melville Street, Edinburgh, merchant. The petition had been supported by Mr. A. Bohté, of South Moulton Street, London, a bootmaker, and creditor for upwards of f200. Only a few debts were proved at the meeting, the princi- pal ono being the proof of Mrs. Jenkins, of Chelsea, for ti-j< 0 odd. These amounts sufficed to secure the appoint- ment of Mr. A. W. Robertson, of King-street Edinburgh as trustee, or assignee, of the estate, as suggested by the bankrupt's solicitor. The crnly assets available appeared to he about £ 200 of book debts. The amount of the bankrupt's liabilities was not stated. Another meeting will be held at Stevenson's Sale Rooms, Edinburgh, on Saturday, the 26th inst. A TOLLMAN'S CONSCIENCE.—Leighton buzzard Is blessed with a market better than can be found within a circuit of many miles. The tolls belong to the lord of the manor, who lets them by tender.

THE CHINESE PRACTICE of covering with powdered colours the Tea intended for foreign supply should be discontinued. First, because in its pure state, Tea is more wholesome and Secondly, because the mineral powders used on the leaf, not only interfere with the delicate flavour of the choice sorts, but the practice also enables the Chinese to obtain a high price for the inferior autumn gathering, for both the good and the bad are purposely coloured alike, to enable the brown rough leaves to be passed off with, or for, the- valuable Spring Kinds.

THE HAGUE, SEPT. 21. .J?]16 Staf^s General assambled to-day for the session of loo7 and 1858, and the proceedings were opened as usual by a speech from His Majesty in person. His Majesty thanked the Chamber for their cordial co-operation in the formation and completion of the law relative to education. His Majasty informed the Chamber that his relations with foreign Powers remained upon a most peaceful and friendly footing that the colonial possessions in the East and almost all portions of the Dutch dominions were ia a most satisfactory and peaceful condition that the abolition of slavery in the West Indian colonies would again be brought under the attention of the Chamber that the balance of Colonial credit for the current year was most satisfactory that the country generally war ia a most flourishing condition that, although a very hot summer, preceded by a cold spring, has rendered food for cattle scarce, the general result of the harvest was favourable, that the attention of the Governmen was v ^C1f. T lreote(l to railway schemes, and that they had uXrHldn^ti ?Tral PreP°sal8 with regard to these to favnr n Jat t WaS intention of Government to favor private enterprises by all means in their power, and, if necessary, even to render assistance in a pecuniary way in the formation of the capital that the increase of telegraphic communication had rendered it necessirv to open more offices and construct new lines; and That among the iinanciallaws to be introduced during the pre- sent session the revision of the system of taxation would occupy a prominent place. His Majesty concluded by trusting that the present time of prosperity and peace might be used in a manner indicative of thankfulness to Almighty God for the great blessings vouchsafed to the country. His Majesty then declared the States General to be opened. TUNIS. On the 9th inst., the Bey of Tunis granted a constitu- tion to his people founded upon the most liberal princi- ples. It was promulgated in the presence of the Ulemas. the ministers, the notables, and general officers of the Fral°AW^' ln G PJTnee.of a11 the foreign agents, the French Admiral, and the principal European inhabitants, took a solemn oath to maintain it inviolate. a CHINA. In consequence of the unsatiscactory news from India. Lord Elgin considered it advisable to leave for Calcutta, and he embarked, with his suite, on board Her Majesty's steamer, Shannon, on the 16th inst., and left the same day, accompanied by Her Majesty's steamer, Pearl. The body of marines (about 350) which arrived here in Ber Majesty's steamer, Sanspcreil, on the 12th inst., have been sent round to Calcutta in the Pearl. It is under- stood that His Lordship's visit to India will not be a pro- tracted one, and that his object is to endeavour to make arrangements for a force to come round to China. The impression here is that some Madras Regiments may be ordered on. The cause of the diversion of the force in- tended for China is much to be regretted, but it is satis- factory to consider that the delay it occasions in the settlement of the Canton question' does not appear likely to create more extended differences between our- selves and the Chinese. AMERICA. The long pending negotiations between New Greneda and the United States have ended—the mountain has has brought forth a mouse of an indemnity treaty* The people murdered in the Isthmus riots are to be paid for, those wounded are to be indemnified, and a commis- sion is to sit to determine who were killed and who were wounded, and how much ought to be paid in each case. The great political questions of difference are left as before-or rather worse than before-for discussion hav- ing been broached, and the parties having failed to agree each party will have the pleasure of adhering all the more firmly to its own views. A letter dated Napo, Ecuador, South America, of the 23d of June, mentions the death of Professor Frances, of the exploring expedition, from a wound received in a duel with Professor Moore, of Ohio. The following are said to be the circumstances which caused the encounter t —On the arrival of the party at Santa Rosa, on the Napo, Professor Moore brought a charge against Professor Frances of having deceived him in point of his scientific acquirement?, and therefore imposed upon hi, confidence, insulted the Government of Ecuador, and proved a dis- grace to his adopted State. This led to the challenge on the part of Professor Frances which was readily accepted by Professor Moore, and their weapons, (double-barrelled fowling pieces) were heavily loaded with buckshot, and the distance agreed upon was five rods. Friends inter- fered but to no avail. The parties were determined to settle theis difficulty with powder. Accordingly on the 28th of April they exchanged shots, and the result was the death of Professor Lrances. The charge of Professor Moore took effect just below the region of the heart while that of Professor Frances merely grazed the bead of his antagonist." A despatch from Washington gives another version of the affair, attributing the Professor wound to the accidental discharge of his fellow professor's gun, the cap of which had exploded, while be was load- ing in the dark. The Government of Ecuador expressed great solicitude on the subject, CALIFORNIA. Politics are at present the all-engrossing subject of interest with the majoritv of the people, in view of the general elections to come off in September. It is grati- fying to have to state that the different political conven- tions convened for arranging the election campaign ap- prove of the payment of the State debt, resolutions to this effect having been passed by all of them. I am bound to say, however, tkat there is a strong under current of private feelings against this just and | laudable sentiment. The Treasury of the State has never been in so healthy a condition as at present. The public claims are now paid in cash, and the whole financial business is con- ducted on a cash basis. The Stamp Act produces a con- siderable amouut of revenue, aud what is a new feature it is accounted for. Formerly large portions of tho State revenue never reached the Treasury, and mnch of what did was stolen.—Times Correspondent. AUSTRALIA. The number and peculiar position of the Chinese here are growing into a difficulty, which threatened relations between the Imperial Government and the Celestial Em- pire, and the recent events in Hong Kong and the Chinese Seas are likely to aggravate. We have now about 45,000 or 50,000 Chinese in the colony, out of a total population of about 420,000. They encamp themselves in b idies at the principal diggings, have hitherto con- ducted themselves in a very orderly manner, are ex- tremely industrious and saving, and they chiefly occupy themselves by washing the earth after the European diggers have done with it—tailings it is t chnically called. They are very sober, though many of them in- dulge in opium-smoking. On the whole they are useful producers, and as they are extensive customers of the storekeepers they are not unpopular with the trading part of the community. But the diggers do not like them. They say the Chinese spoil the water, that they are dirty in ther habits, and great pilferers. The last accusation is not supported by the returns of the courts of justice, and I believe all the other accusations are exaggerated. In all the diggings they have succeeded in finding eight European women willing to marry them but in one case poor Chinaman got a bad bargain, for the lady managed to persuade John that our customs forbade any clo3e°in timacy during the honeymoon, and one night when Tnhn was asleep the faithless she" walked off with h J John sailed forth till his eye met lVvJ, Chinese character, wfnch, bemg interpreted was" A B very good lawyer—verv • takp? u 9 So he walked in for advice CaS6S to C0Urt* him that a feme oar, f ^hen it was explained to the baron ■ ntin no'; commit larceny of the goods of possession' th P0ssessi0ri of the wife is the husband's tS n° asPortavit."

There is a large amount of effective of labour in this colony which is not hireabU, and which it is the business of the statesman to render available as au instrument of production,—small farmers, gardeners, and many of higher degree who have no objection to the exercise of their muscular jstrength in useful productive employmants but not in the position of mentals. We have here officers in the army, gentlemen of no calling, attorneys, gra- duates, barristers, who have tried their fortunes at the diggings- In other colonies I have known many labour effectively on their own farms, and even make little and in some cases large fortunes, who could not have «o laboured as the hired servants of others. Women of condition, and even education and accomplishments tuia to useful labour with much more fa,ilit/than the r hus- bands.

From the great variety of persons who have been attracted to this colony bv some vague notion that they could not fail to do well in a country where a few hundred thousand people share I many millions of gold annually among them, I am con- vinced that the amount of labour not menial which we have among us is far greater in proportion to population haa in any one of our colonies. <

The other pri- V soner, who was with Richards said, Give me a quart of beer and I'll tell you who has got your money." I then went and told the police where the prisoners were. They were shortly after apprehended. I had given Richards what money he wanted all the day. I have given him a sovereign at a time.—Thomas Harse, ostler at the King 3 Head, corroborated prosecutor as to his having slept with the prisoner Richards. He further stated: Richards wanted to go to the back place before daylight, and said he could find his way by himself. He could not get out, and called, John," at the bottom of the stairs. I went and let him out, and saw him go back to bed. At night I had taken their shoes down, and put them in the long room at the bottom of the sta rs. The prisoner Richards could have 'got into that room without my knowledge. Richards got up about seven o'clock, the same time as me. I went down to clean the shoes, and found one of Richards's shoes missing. I afterwards found it on the table at the far end of the room. In this shoe I found six or seven sovereigns and a quantity of silver. I took it up and gave it to the prisoner, Richards and when I said it was a fanny place to find money, he said, It's all right," and took the money from me and gave me 6d. for my trouble. The money was not in the shoe the night before when I took it down. Richards went out, and told me to tell prosecutor that he was gone down to Cullimore's. Prosecutor got up nine o'clock, and I told him where Richards was gone.—Henry Rawlings, who went with Jenkins to the Coach and Horses, corrobo- rated that part of his evidence, and Sergeant Pennymore, of the Monmouthshire Constabulary, said: From infor- mation I received, I went to the Coach and Horses pub- lie-house on Tuesday morning last, where I found the two prisoners. I told the prisoner Richards I was come to take him into custody that he was charged with steal- ing upwards of j620 from William Jenkins. He said, "I know nothing about it." The other prisoner said, "That's right; he don't know anything about it. I'll come down and clear him. I know who had it." I took Ri- chards into custody, and was proceeding towards the station. Haddock followed. He came up, and they walked arm in arm. Richards put his hands into his trousers pocket, and drew out some gold, and slipped it into Haddock's hand, who put it into his pocket. Oae of the sovereigns fell to the ground. I took hold of Had- dock, and put my hand into his trousers pocket where he had put the money. I found six sovereigns, which he said were his own. I then took him into custody. I searched Richards at the station, and foundtwo sovereigns, one pound fourteen shillings in silver, and twopence halfpenny.—Mr. Owen, who appeared for the prisoners, addressed the Bench on their behalf. They were, how- ever, committed for trial at the sessions. Bail was ten- dered and accepted. David Thomas, a miner at Ebbw Yale, pleaded guilty to stealing seventeen candles from the srall of James Ford, who was working about 150 yards from him, un- derground. Prosecutor said that he was continually losing candles since prisoner came to work there, and could never find out where they were going till he marked some this week by pushing pins up through them, and afterwards found them in possession of the prisoner. Committed to the House of Correction for one month. Ann Welsh charged Martin Newnin, of Nantyglo, with doing injury to her head and walking away with some of her hair. Witnesses were examined on both sides, and the Bench ordered the costs to be divided. Isaac Edwards, of the Full Moon, near Ebbw Vale, was charged with keeping open his house for the sale of beer, &c., on Sunday afternoon, the 6th instant, at 3.35. P.C. 37 of the county police proved the charge. Fined zC2 and costs. There was no other business of any interest at these sessions. ———-
THE IRON, METAL, AND COAL…
THE IRON, METAL, AND COAL TRADES. (From the Mining Journal.) TRADE.—Throughout the week, although no unusual amount of business has been transacted, a steady demand has existed for shares in several mines, at advanced prices, and we are glad to be able to report upon the healthy appearance of the market generally, notwith- standing the unexpected blow to many English capital- its, through the heavy fall in American securities, and the Indian news received late in the week. As we have often said, so long as metals keep up (an 1 there is every reason to believe they will do so), dividend mines will be the favourite means of investment. The standard for copper ore still vises, and is nON at a satisfactory price. The demand for the metal is continuous and steady; we may, therefore, hope the smelters will see that their true policy in this as in all other businesses is to let live as well as live. If they give miners a fair price for ores, they will hear few complaints from them, who are a passive set of people, if fairly dealt with. Great quantities of copper ore will be sent into the market by tributers, who cannot work so as to gain a livelihood at such, we deem, so unfairly low a standard as we had but lately to quote, Such was the case at Fowey Consols, where many pitches were refused by the men that will now be gladly taken. This is by no means a solitary instance, and we quote it because we have it from the agent's report. It is but an index for other mine proprietors to be guided by, not to allow their properties to be trifled with. Now, however, all is well, and we wish no further to refer to the subject. Tin is almost at a remunerative figure, with a probability of its continuiug so for a long time to come, stocks being low and the demand increasing, so that tinners are, and have reason to be, contented. This must be of vast im- portance to many young mines, of which we quote, as per agent's report, the St. Austell Consols. This, again is but a type. Lead ores are steady, the varieties con- taining a good per centago of silver,^ in great demand, and obtaining large prices. Spelter is at a high quota- tion any fall in this article would be followed by an in- creased consumption, the high prices limiting purchases by consumers. Iron is in good request, at prices remu- nerative to the producers. Antimony and lllckel, of which our home produce is but small, are, however, in- quired for, as are arsenic, barytes, and mundic, the latter being now consumed in considerable quantities—a relief to many mines, where it was almost deemed a nuisance. The state of the metal market is all we could wish it; therefore it is not to be wondered at we have an improved demand for shares in productive mines. There evidently appears to be a better feeling towards these securities than has for some time existed. We think when London shall have returned to town from Brighton and other watering places, where it may now literally be said to be, ) we may look for a further and a decided rise in good stocks. Capitalists are evidently more disposed to enter on mining; that vague undefined prejudice against it appears to be subsiding gradually—wearing itself out, like an expiring ember. Money is expected to be more abundant shortly, the pressure is already less severe, the Indian news is looked on as favourable, although the dis- affection still spreads a little, yet the danger is past, the worst is over, and that it will be subdued without severely taxing the resources of the country when this convic- tion shall be acted on, we may look forward with good r axon to a general improvement in trade, and a sti 1 greater rise in minin? stock of all descriptions. STAFFoRDsamE.- The improvement in the demand for iron, especially for the home market continues, and the trade is more animated than it has been since the com- mencement of the present quarter. The only kind of iron for which there is not a good demand is rails, but as that department of the trade haslong ceased to be car- ried on to any largo extent in this district, it does not seriously atrøct the trade here. The excellent demand now experienced is the more remarkable faom the fact that the demand from Calcutta has almost ceased. YORKSHIRE, DERBYSHIRE, AND LANCASHIRE.—The Iron Trade of the past week in these counties has shown a degree of improvement which must be regarded as exceedingly satisfactory, considering the position of affairs in India, and the combined causes which for some time past have kept up the money market. The demand for home consumption is steadily increasing, whilst the requirements for the Contiunt have continued large, except for India. There is a good enquiry for railway iron, particularly rails, in consequence of several large contracts which have recently been given out. The Coal Trade is not so active as ,s usual at this season, but the demand, it xs expec will increase in the course of a fortnight, when the autumn requirements will be more numerous. A passage in the report of Mr. Herbert Mackworth has called lortn. a good deal of remark. The incident is related to have taken place after the Coalbrook Vale explosion, and the hero is a fireman named Hopkin L"WlS. Mr. Mackworth says The friends of the men in the pit pressed Hopkin Lewis, the fireman, to descend the upcast pit, by which the fire-damp was issuing he replied, < If go down, I shall never come up alive but, S ft* ""I ShakiaS hand3 persons about Shott r nf?p«R6n.' wilk fourother men.

Some one fabricated them after his death, and they were spread about in the neighbourhood, but his own fellow-workmen lo >kea upon the story as a canard, and are now somewhat astonished 0 find Mr. Mackworth giving it the weight of his authority. 6 0 0
