THE HOUSE OF SPEECH. THE proceedings of the last Session of Parliament were so sepulchral in their nature and mortal in their tendency, that several of our contemporaries actually pronounced the funeral oration, before the poor Session was put out of the way, and finally consigned to that oblivion, towards which its acts had so unmistakeably hastened it during its existence. The House of Commons has proved during the Session not the House of business but the House of speech. The measures which have passed are of questionable im- portance, whilst the importance of others which were re- jected could not be easily over-rated. The House of Commons and the House of Lords were summoned together at a period when the commercial diffi- culties of our merchants had reached a crisis. Something in the form of temporary relief had been already given by Ministers on their own responsibility. A committee of both Houses sat to investigate the cause of this difficulty so far as the pecuniary system of the country was concerned. Al- though the extraordinary embarrassments which proved so ruinous to our tradesmen were clearly traceable to the Currency Acts now in existence, still nothing was done to avert similar derangements in future. Eloquent speeches were delivered, several witnesses were examined, and thfi whole ended in speech. The Royal speech had promised a measure on the Navigation Laws. Months rolled on, but nothing ap 9 peared. The subject was one of great importance,, It was generally agreed that it was imperatively de- I manded by the wants of the nation. At length a measure! was introduced* it was discussed, considered, and withdrawn. It thus shared the fate of all or nearly all beneficial measures in the House of speech. The Jewish Disabilities Bill passed the House of Com- mons, but was rejected by the Lords. Subsequently Lord John Russell promised to introduce a measure to alter the form of the oath taken by members of Parliament, whereby the member for London, Baron Rothschild, might be enabled to take his seat. Up to this day, however, Rothschild is without a seat, and-London without a representative. The promise of Lord John was not performed, which need excite no great wonder seeing that it was given in the House of speech. The general election of 1847 was notorious for bribery. Though there was no great principle mooted at the time it 0 t took place, still it was one of the most corrupt elections whose annals have been ever recorded. A vast number of boroughs were proved to be thoroughly corrupt. The sub- ject was brought before the House in a variety of forms. Different measures were propounded and abandoned. Lord John at last took up the matter and introduced a bill, which he abandoned about a week before the prorogation of Parliament. Bribery is yet to remain unchecked, and has to thank the House of Speech for its escape, but really it would only be a matter of justice to take Lord John up for abandoning his own offspring. v It cannot be denied that the House of Speech has done much to lower the dignity of a deliberative assembly. It has passed a blundering measure in regard to the West Indies, and has thus taken a retrogressive step in regard to the liberal policy by which the country has been governed of late years. It is a measure which has the unenviable merit of displeasing all parties. Theu as it regards the sani- tary condition of the country, a measure has been passed, which is likely to prove quite unmanageable. It was changed and altered, and revised and amended, times without num- ber during the session, and at last it has been placed on the statute book as a cumbersome, unwieldy enactment. Punch has indeed very properly bestowed on Master Morpeth a prjze for good temper and obliging readiness to give way to everybody in everything, with marks for his diligence in', undoing his own work." We have now an act authorising diplomatic relations with Rome, that is to say with Popery, for Rome is nothing with- out its Popery. Some good folks persuade themselves that this measure has nothing to do with the forthcoming endow- ment of Romanism, and tax those who think so with pos- sessing second sight. The man who dreams otherwise has yet indeed to acquire first sight, as the object in view has; been plainly avowed by more than one member of the i-) nistry. Whenever such measure will be brought forward? it will, no doubt, receive due attention in the House of Speech. The House of Speech has also favoured us with a goodly number of coercion bills and gagging acts, but the same house has refused us every measure of substantial reform* There are rotten boroughs which it lias"nbt purified. The con- stituencies are limited, and they have not been enlarged. The public debt is enormous, and it has been increased. Taxa- tion is grinding the poor, but it has not been nidified. We have had no enlightened legislation. The tendency has been to rule by force, and not by equity, The petitions of the pco*. pie have been disvegardeci, and the House seemed as if only an establishment for wholesale dealing in speech. The refor- mation of this gross abuse must be taken in hand by the people. Mere talkers must be substituted by men of business. Party must make way for principle. Government must exist fojr the benefit of the many, and not for the aggrandisement off the few. Parliament must become the House of Work, and not the I{ouse of Speech.

NEWPORT. POOR RA TES,-Ma, EDITOR,-NVill yoti- allow me the favour of addressing a few words on the above subject to the rate-payers of viewport and others. The it-Ierlin. has kindly afforded us, an op- portunity to speak out on the subject, and we are glad it has not been entirely of non effect," Will the PRINCIPALITY lend us helping hand? We are grievously burdened, and if we are blamed for thus seeking to redress our grievance, our only apology is-we can't help it. Another demand has just been made for a rate of 2s, in the pound, assigned to have been made for the re- tf of the poor and other purposes connected therewith." One might think that it was the unhappy lot of Newport to support the poot of Monmouthshire, were it not for the last clause of the Sentence, and other purposes connected therewith." The ques- tion is, how can we pay it and meet other imperative demands. This makes the third rate within ten months, amounting to about 4s. 6d. in the pound. Is there no possibility to mend matters ? Certainly there is a great number of Irish lazily lurking about, vid«ttf}y "Without" a mind to work j" 11, drouaii of the community, living upon the poor man's labour." I have no wish to speak Uncharitably of any person, but our heavy rates and taxes have forced thus much upon me. When we unitedly demand an ex- planation where and how the money goes," I assert that we pave a right to expect an explanation. When complaints are so ioud and general, let us have a public meeting of the rate-payers, jSnd discuss the matter freely and fully. Trusting some abler hand will furnish the readers of the PRINCIPALITY with a more exten- sive account by next week.—Yours, &e.t F. H. G., Newport, Sept. 19, 1848.

BRIDGEND. MKCHAOTCS' INSTITUTE.—It has long been a matter of deep regret that there was not, in this flourishing town, a Literary Institution of some kind, for the benefit and amusement of mechanics, and numerous young men of the labouring class generally, where they could devote their spare time to objects calculated to instruct, as well as to interest and amuse them, instead of resorting to the tavern, and there wasting their time and money, in the pursuit of that which has been the cause of so much.evil and degradation, and which has ultimately termi- nated in the entire ruin of many of our most promising young men, We are happy to state that a Mechanics' Institute has now been formed, a provisional committee chosen, and upwards of eighty individuals enrolled their names as members of the. society. We believe upwards of sixty volumes of books are already in the hands of the committee, being the only remain* of a society formed in 1830, but which has long since been extinct. A public meeting will shortly be held for the purpose of laying the matter before the public, when we hope the rnot fc benetcilent and patriotic spirit will be manifested towards the good and noble cause by all who wish well to the causo of virtue, and the welfare of their fellow man. We understand the establishing of this Institution originated in a remark made. by the Rev. J. P. Jones, in a lecture delivered by him in the Lancasterian School-room, a short time since, who, we have every reason to believe, in connexion with the Rev. J. E. Jones, J. D. Williams, and other ministers of the town, will use their utmost exertions to further its objects.

NEATH. SEHIOUS AcCIDrNT.-On Saturday night last as Mr. Whitting- ton, ex-couaty surveyor, was returning home from GIyn Neath, and about four miles distant from the latter place, his horse stum- bled, and he fell, and as he was not able to disengage one foot from the stirrup, he was dragged for a considerable distance over the ground. When found he was taken up in a state of great ex haustion, and carried to a cottage in the neighbourhood. On tile following morning, he was removed with great care in a fly to his residence, Quar, near Neath, where he now lies in great pain Hopes are entertained of his ultimate recovery. He is nearly SO years of age.

CARDIFF. t T&VF VALE RAILWAY.—The traffic on this RAILWAY daring tjte weekending September 16, was 15s, lid. RADICAL REFORM.—Many reforms are necessary besicfes those desired by politicians. For instance, a radical refo^n. was imperatively demanded in the Coffee trade, The stuff thfat was palmed upon the public, under that name, was utterly un- deserving of the notice of Coffee-drinkers, John Cassell, how- ever, has determined that a thorough radical reform shall take place, and that the people of Great Britain shall enjoy the luxury of drinking really good Coffee, and. at prices which they have hitherto been paying for a deleterious article, POLICE, MONDAY, SBPT. 18,—(Before the Mayor, and James Lewis, Fsq.)-Johit Herbert and Wm. Llewellyn, charged With fighting in Whitmore-lane, aboqt eleven, o'clock on Sunday night, were ordered to pay 2s. Qd. each to the superannuation fund. Evan Llewellyn, charged with behaving disorderly and beaming Ann Williams, in Whitmore-lane, about midnight Saturday night, was dismissed, 4efendant not appearing. x .ThIlo.;4a,s and Matheio Evam, who were seen by Mr. Stockdllc ou Saturday night, fighting on the street, had been sum- monedr tG appear. Mathew Evans had absconded, and Miller, haying* been fined some time ago for selling ale, waa ordered first of all to pay that. Thomas Howell, Bute-street, summoned for non-payment of rates, t4 and odd, was ordered to pay, and in default a distress to be issued. WilHam Bickerton, of the King's Head, St. Mary-street, who had been given time to consider whether he would discontinue the singing in his saloon or be without a license, had his license granted him to-day, with a charge to conduct his house properly. Mrs, Bevington, of the Cyfarthfa Castle, Lewis-street, had a certificate for a Spirit licence to-day. Thomas Griffiths against Eliza Thom, and Eliza Thom against Thomas Crfiffiths, a case of assault; case dismissed.

POLICE COURT, THuitsDAY.-(Before the Mayor, James Lewis, Esq., R. Beece, F.S.A., Esq., and Henry Lewis, Esq.) Mr. Philipotts appeared to show cause why he did not pay the poor-rate. He eonitended that the rate was not legal, as it had been signed by the county magistrates, and not by the mayor, as required by 43 Eliz. e. 2 s.8, The magistrates' clerk suggested that the case should be heard by county magis- trates, as the rate had been signed by them. Mr. Phillpotts objected, and said that he had no idea that his case should be postponed when he made his appearance, and that poor people should be sacrificed. He advised all not to pay the rate, and would Itring an action against any magistrates that would sign a distress warrant. After some conversation it was decided that if there should be county magistrates in the town in the course of the day, it should be heard by them, and that no proceedings would be taken against other parties until this case should be heard and decided. At a later hour Mr. Philipotts entered the room and said he would be at home on Monday, andTrould attend on that day. George White was taken into custody by P. C. Clarke, for fighting in Smith- street, on Tuesday evening last. The policeman saw him and another fight- ing, and went to separate them. Two or three gentlemen said that the other was not in fault. Prisoner did not attempt to kick the policeman until he bad Sad him down. Mr. Lewis, the tailor, said that the man was not in fault, and pushed him from witness, and prisoner stood in a fighting attitude, Wheil he touched him with his truncheon on the arm. He was particularly eardful not to strike him on the head. No person would assist him. He had askeft Mr. Lewis, who said that there were plenty besido him. '[This state- ment Mr. Lewis flatly contradicted.] Mrs. Williams corroborated the evi- dence so far as that the policeman had called for assistance, and that no one came to his assistance. She first saw prisoner on his back, and he was then making resistance, and saying that he Would not go to gaol. Prisoner denied all this, and called Mr. Lewis, who said that he saw the affray from the be- ginning. He thought they were only wrestling. No. 7 came up and took both into custody, when the big man said, It is he who is in fault." Policeman then let him go, and called for assistance to secure White. He was assisted by a young person, who, upon hearing the man saying that he had done no harm, let him go. The man reeled back from him, and then the policeman struck him on the head and loins, until he fell down. All around thought that he was dead. He swore that he struck him on the head, and that the blow was distinctly heard by persons at a considerable distance. William Lewis corroborated the foregoing evidence so far as that the policeman had struck the man on his head and on his loins, and that he fell down as dead. Edward Morris stated that he arrived theie when the policeman had hold of the prisoner, and that the policeman let him go, when the prisoner advanced against the policeman, but did not strike him, whereupon the policeman struck him somewhere very high on the body, and from the sound he should say on the head, and then he struck him on the loins, when he feil down ap- parcntly dead. The policeman said he could bring persons to prove that they were fighting, and that the prisoner was struck down. Mr. J. Lewis said there was no mark of a blow on the head. The editor of a provincial paper stsited that there were a series of fights in the streets on Monday and Tues- day, and that the police were almost harassed to death. The magistrates considered that as he had been in custody for two days he might be now dis- charged; the mayor adding that the policeman acted quite unjustifiable in staking him on the head. *T 'Mills Was charged with knocking at several doors at midnight. As no parties appeared againat him, he was discharged with a caution. ( We are unavoidably compelled to omit several cases until next week, on account of press of matter.]

EBBW VALE. THE EBBW VALE UNION CHORAL SOCIETY held a concert of sacred music in the Ebbw Vale school-room, on Monday, Septem- ber 11th. The subjects selected for the occasion were from the celebrated works of Jirman, Fawcet, Haydn, Kent, and Handel. The performance, both vocal and instrumental, was exceedingly ■ good, reflecting the highest credit on all concerned, especially on z, Mr. Turner, the talented leader. The audience was very nume- rous and respectable. Among the ladies we observed the lady of Thomas Brown, Esq., Mrs. Laston, Mrs. Adams, kc. Thomas Brown, Esq., the respected manager of these works, has won the good opinions of the whole neighbourhood for his kindness in doing all he could in promoting the objects of this society. He is not only the patron of this society, but a ready and a liberal supporter of .every movement that has a tendency to elevate the character of the working man. We understand that the overplus of the proceeds of the concert will be handed over to the different charitable institutions of the society. Mn, EDITOR,—Many of your readers in this neighbour- hood complain bitterly that the time of Newport and Bris- tol packets is not inserted in the PRINCIPALITY weekly. I have heard complaints also from Abergavenny, Pontypool, and Abersychan; and Blaenavon, Nantyglo, Ebbw Vale, Tredegar, and Rhymney, undoubtedly suffer from the same inconveniencies. It is the general desire of your very nu- merous readers in Monmouthshire, the east part of Breconshire, Radnorshire, and Herefordshire, for this to be inserted. It is a matter of surprise to me that the owners of this packet have not looked into this before now. It is to be hoped that they will be pleased thus far to oblige their supporters, and it will be for their interest as well, I hope you will insert this in your paper the next time, and excuse me for the liberty I have taken.-I am, yours, respectfully, &c.,—A FREQUENT PASSENGER.—BWnau Iron Works. [Tke omission of which our correspondent com- plains, is not our faqlt. So long as the proprietors remain in- different to the interest of the public, we cannot help them.—ED.] AJ?ERTII.I,ISRY.—On Saturday the 9th instant, the members of the Philanthropic Benefit Society met at the Bush Inn, for the purpose of celebrating their 20tn anniversary.^ They walked ill- procession to the Blaenau Gwent chapel to listen to an useful sermon delivered by their respected brother the Rev, John Lewis, the minister of the place, with his usual flowing eloquence. After divine service, they returned to dinner, which was prepared for them in Mrs. and Mr. Edwards' excellent style and taste, and consisted of the varieties of the season. We are happy to state, the greatest concord prevailed during the afternoon among the brethren.

PONTYPOOL. On Friday last, a large number of persons presented them- selves in this town, to witness the arrival of Hilton's menagerie," by means of which the public have been favoured with a peep at some of the nobler animals in the creation at a low charge. The brass band, which was by no means inferior to any we have seen here, by its choice music and the manner in which it was executed, attracted several hundreds of attentive listeners, and elicited general admiration. (JARNDIFFETK, NEAR PONTYPOOL.—:Qn Saturday, the 2nd instant, the Merch Gwent I-todge of True Ivorites pf the St, David's order celebrated their anniversary. The members having formed themselves into a procession, were headed by a he goat, the property of William Williams, Esq., master of the Golynos, and Yarteg Iron Works. It was dressed in an elegant manner with the colours of the order, which mij-,ht appear rather ssrange to a great many of the PRINCIPALITY readers, and which was not short of causing great astonishment to the inh ibitaftta of the neighbouring villages in beholding the worthy old patron parading the streets in such an ancient-like manner, which xvis also followed by a banner representing the patron of the society. 4-fter atte-adiqj divine scryi e, snd hearing a very ap- propriate sermon on the occasion by the Rev. Morris Jones, Independent minister, we returned to the lOdge-room in an orderly mariner to partake of an excellent dinner prepared by our worthy host, Mr. William Coleman, Hanbury Aims, Garnddiffeth. After the cloths were removed the following- toasts were drunk,—Queen Victoria, Prince Albert, Prince of Wales and all the rest of the Royal Family, together with out- worthy graft respected master, Mr. Williams, and other toasts of the order. Several of the brethren addressed the meeting on the premising aspect of the Ivorite society in keeping up the Welsh language against the attempts made lately to deprive us of out native tongue. The couduct of the brethren during the day was such that no one need regret being in their cora- pany.—-Communicated.—[Not even the goat?—ED.]

SWANSEA. STRANGE ALTERATION IN A PLACE ONCE CONSECRATED TOt THE WORSHIP OP ALMIGHTY GOD,- l'he large room in Orange- street, used for a time by the friends who now worship at Bethany Chapel, has, we regret to state, been let to a strollin"- set of vagabonds who term themselves "the lovers of the arts"—pugilists. For several evenings past the street ha* been ringing again with the shouts of the admiring throng who have attended to witness the feats of two fellows, performing in boxing gloves, for their edification. The room beneath ha long bean let out for dancing, &c., to the worst of ch.iraeters, but it was not until within the last fortnight'that the large room above was visited by such as might with propriety constitute that which was once the house of prayer," a den of thieves." We 'had anticipated that long ere this the large room referred to would have been converted into a Sunday School institu- tion for the improvement of the teachers and superintendent* of our Sabbath schools. THE SCHOONER SINGLETON, OF THIS PORT.^Considerable excitement now prevails in our town, respecting the fate of this gallant little schooner, and her much respected com- mander, Capt. William Thomas. It is now almost certain that the vessel has foundered, and that the ill-fated crew have perished. We subjoin the following particulars :-Last Sun- day month the Singleton, in company with two other vessels destined for Liverpool, put to sea during severe weather, and <for a time continued their course. The weather, however, con- tinuing severe, and the squall increasing to a gale, the other vessels returned to the Mumble roads the Singleton, however, pursued her course, the captain no doubt believing in the ability of his craft to ride out the storm. Since that eventful evening- no tidings have reached us of the fate of the vessel or crew. For some time we believed they had put in at some friendly port until the storm should abate, and subsequently had pro- ceeded on their way; but the arrival of the other two vessels at their mutual destination, Liverpool, and the announcing of the non-arrival to the present time of the Singleton, together with no letter from any of the crew, reveals to us too truly their melancholy fate. The cargo on board was one of the most valuable ever shipped from the works of our respected M.P., J, H. Vivian, Esq. DRF,,tl)FuL FxRB.Oii Sunday night last about twelve o'clock the dwelling-house of Mr. Richards, hair-dresser, of this town, was found to be on fire, and though the assistance of three engines was speedily procured, the whole of his furniture, stock in trade, and the house itself, was very speedily reduced to ashes. We understand that the family have been unable to save anything from the general wreck-not even the cash-box, which, with its contents, have been destroyed. The property up to this year was insured, but we regret to state that this year the insurance money was not paid, and of course the benefit is forfeited. The adjoining house of Mr. West, draper and clothier, has likewise been seriously injured, but his goods to a large extent have been saved. The origin of this melan- choly catastrophe is thought to have been the bursting of the gas-pipe in the shop of Mr, Richards, Since writing the above we understand that Mrs. Richards paid the amount as usual for insurance, without the knowledge of her husband, and which, to her no small credit, will now be-the means of saving the family from poverty, and to some extent assist in commencing life anew,

MKRTHYPi. THE temperance men of Coedyeymmer, in this borough, made a great display on. Monday^; Th^y .unfurled their ban- ners at an early hour, and Tfrent in a procession through the main street, and held a public meeting ut Tabor, Independent chapel, where Messrs. Lomax, Williams, anl Morgan spoke on Z, the evils of drunkenness, and the happiness of a sober life. Si- milar meetings were held at three, in Cte chapel, and at seven, in Ebeneser, Independent chapsi. We are informed that th evening meeting was numerously attended,—Mr. Loiinx lec- tured on the same subject at the English Independent chapel, Market-square, in the evening. The weather during the last week has been remarkably pro- pitious but there is some corn unhoused still on high grounds. INQUEST.—An inquest was held on the 14th inst., at the Ship in Distress beer-house, Pwllywhiaid, before George Ovwtori, Esq., coroner, on view of the body of Daniel, aged 11 years, the son of Thomas Owen, puddler, who died on the 12th, from injuries sustained on the 11th, by the trams on the Penydarran Incline Plane, Verdict, Accidental death." We regret to state that the same coroner was sent for on Mon- day to hold an inquest on view of the body of a respectable female, in the parish of Llanvabon, or of Eghvysilan, who had, under a temporary derangement, cut her throat with a razor, on Sunday 4ig--t last. The particulars were not known here when the muil ieft. POLICE, SSPT. lS,(Before H. A. Brucc and W.

Tap- ■■ .r-. *••«■ *.» J. r.' r- ijratulated the meeting upon the unanimity which had pre- vailed. He also referred to the memorial which had been hawked about the country during the past week; he re- Joieed to find that its promoters had so far failed in their object as not to have obtained a single individual to speak in favour of the object it had in view. After some further conversation it was decided that as the resolution of the Rev. D. Davies had reference only to the Baptist denomination, it had better be withdrawn. [The Baptists then retired to the vestry, and unanimously adopted the resolution.] A vote of thanks having been given to the ehairman the meeting separated.
