The Principality

PONTYPOOI, ANNIVERSARY.—Last Sunday the anniversary sermons of the Tabernacle chapel, Pontypool, were preached by the Rev. brands Hiley, of Llanwenarth, who delivered two elaborate sermons in Welsh, and one excellent and impressive sermon in English, to a crowded audience at each meeting. We are happy to state that the anniversary answered its purpose well in toJecting money in order to liquidate the debt now stand- ing on the said place of worship. ABEKSYCHAN.—ANCIENT Dituxi)s.-We understand that a party of Ancient Druids of Great Britain, visited Mr. George .Davies, of Pentwyn Tavern, on last Saturday evening, for the purpose of celebrating their anniversary, when they were en- tertained at an excellent supper by Mr. Davies. Also, on Monday last, at the same house, the Oddfellows'club held their annual festival, when they were regaled with an ample repast by the worthy host.

BRIDG END, A SHOCKING ACCIDENT.-On Thursday last a serious accident happened to a poor fellow named William, David, working in the quarries, at Pencoed, by the explosion of the powder before he had time to make his escape. He survived but a short time after' the accident.. ON Monday morning last, Mr. Herbert Powell, one of the eon- tractors for the restoration of Newcastle Church, received a serious injury by falling from the tilling. Fortunately, in his descent, he came in contact with a plank, which tended much-to break his fall. We have since heard that the injuries received are not of a dangerous nature. THEATRE. — The Theatre opened on Monday, with §hak- speare's celebrated tra,-(-dy'of 'Othello," which was ably sus- tained, by a highly efficient company, comprising, Messrs. Wal- dron, W. Waldron, Stanmore, Wallis, R. H. Mendham, and Miss Waldron. The performance concluded with The Secret, which sent the audience home in perfect good humour. On Wednesday we had Planche's Historical drama of "Charles XII. which was received with great applause. Mr. Waldron as Charles XII., Mr. Wallace as Adam Brock, and Mr. Mend- ham as the Burgomaster. The characters were well sustained and gave general satisfaction. ON Monday last, an inquest was held by G. H. Verity, Esq., at Marcross, on the body of Mary Thomas, aged sixty-four years. The deceased was formerly landlady of the Duke of Wellington Inn, Cowbridge. It appears that the deceased was going to see her son, at a place called Glade, three or four miles distant The body was found upon the steps leading from the cliff to the sea shore, quite stiff, where it is supposed to have been for several hours. Ox the same day ah inquest was held, and before the same eOfllncr, on two bodies that was washed ashore near Southern- down. The bodies are supposed to be from the vessel that was wrecked near the Mumbles, hist week.

;dBERGAYEXNY. TUE HARVEST.—We are happy to state that the very favour- able weather which we have experienced the last fortnight has produced a most marked change in the appearance of the wheat and barley. The sickle has been busy at work in this neighbourhood during the last week, and should we have a continuation of the present fine v/eather, our harvest will be consummated much earlier than was anticipated..The farmers, we learn, >peak favourably of the crops as being equal in quality and quantity to any preceding harvest. THE Potatoe plant, which looked so well and promising in- our fields and gardens a few weeks ago, lye regret to state have suffered much in this neighbourhood in consequence of the potatoe disease.

SWANSEA f.tTAr, ACCIDENT UNDER SINGULAR CIRCUMSTANCES. — An inquest was held on Monday last at Reanfawr, in the parish of Lhuirhidian, before C, Collins, Esq;, on the body of John Junes, aged 50. It appeared by the evidence of John Williams, copperman, of Penclawdd, that on Saturday last the deceased, witness, and a man named Hughes were.engaged in forming a hay rick for Mr. Evan John, of the latter place. Wit- ness and the other man were on the rick and deceased was en- gaged on the ground in throwing up the hay. When they were ready to tonn the head or top of the rick, the deceased was about ascending for that purpose. Witness and the other man took hold of his iiands for the purpose of assisting him up. Their hands shpped and both fell backwards on the rick, but the deceased fell on his back to the ground. He was immediately raised by Mr. John, who was on the spot, when he was discovered to be in a state of insensibility. The unfortunate man never rallied. No medical evidence was called, but it was evident that death resulted from a dislocation of the neck, caused by the fall. He has left a widow and five children. A verdict ia accordance with-these facts was returned. NBW WESLEYAN MINISTERs.-The Rev. Mr. Williams, and the llev, Mr. Bytiieway, from Pembrokeshire, have been ap- pointed to the Swansea and Neath circuits, in the room of the Kevs. Messrs. Pratten and Avery.

A MODERN LOCHINVAR. At the Inverness Sheriff Court, a few days since Donald Mac- donald, BaUloih, North Uist lsan of Mr. Macdonald, Munkstadt) Doiiald Mackenzh Munkstadt, Kilmuir, Syke, and Charles Mackinnon, fisherman, Munkstadt; were accused of invading the f dwelling hou,e of John Robertson Macdonald, Esq., Rodil, Harris, commissioner for the Earl of Dunmore, in company with a number of others, some armed with sticks, when they burst open the door, assaulted Mr. and Mrs. Macdonald, and Mr. Mac- Ronald's clerk and shepherd, the former to the effusion of hisllood and injury of his person—the inmates having been by these pro- ceedings put to great terror and alarm. Donald Macd paid was the only party that appeared, and he pU aded not guilty. Warrants were granted to apprehend the other parties charged. A jury was empannelled. A special deience was sent for by the prisoner, and read to the court and tile jury, to the tffect that the prisoner went to Rodit for the ac- complishment of a legal engagement—that he and the lady, now his wife, were separated against their mutual wishes-alld that if noise Uok place on the occasion, it was not on account of tLe pri- ¡h o,er) Lpt of th, se who opposed him. Donald Ferguson, servant with Mr. Kenneth Macdonald of Skeaboast, uncle of the prisoner, went with his master to Garnish Urribost, on a Friday morning, Had heard that Donald had gone off with a daughter of Mr. Macdonald, of Balranald. They went to Uig next day, and the panel went for several of his fat her's ser- vants. Donala Macleod,' captain of a it-nail vessel, the Eliza Macleod, was applied to to take them to Harris. It was so stormy that he would not go, and they got another boat ready to go t9 Harris "to get a wife for their master's son." It was so stormy that severai went back to Munkstadt. They left the shore between eleven and twelve o,clock at night. Eleven or twelve were in the boat. He and the panel were there. They got to the harbour of Rodil, in Harris, about four o'clock in the morijing. The house, was close by. They went up to the grieve's house, and witness found out from the daughter, that the lady for whom they had come was sleeping in the bedroom, and that Mrs. Macdonald slept with her, He told the panel, and the party went up to the house, the door was partly open, and the panel went in. Witness was standing at the porch, and the men round about, when Mr. Mac- donald (llodil) came out of the house in his shirt and drawers. swearing at them as if he was mad, for coming to the house at that time of the night to rob it. The Lewisman (Donald Mackenzie) answered that they had come -to get a wife for Munkstadt's son" Some of Rodil's men slept in an out-house, and he went in that direction. He was soon followed by Kenneth Macdonald, his clerk, half-dressed, and with a gun in his hand. He said, if they did not go away he would shoot them, when the Lewisinati swore at him, and said, "if you don't be quiet—are you going to shoot me ?'* He then heard the clerk cry murder, but heard no blows, and the clerk retreated into the house. Lights were appearing and disappearing,—they heard the frout door fastened from with- in, and the men, who were all outside, said among themselve, that if they got Munkstadt's 5011 out, they did not care whethef they got the wife or no." The panel put his head out of a win- dow, and cried, "Coine in, my lads, and take the trunks, we are- ready to be off." They went towards the boats, and seeing Rodil's gardener going as if to waken men, witness took him by the breast aad held him there. The trunks were carried down—the lady followed last—and they set sail for Skye. There was some con- versation in the boat about going to a place near Borrodale, and to remain there till night, if pursued. [The point involved in this last answer was not clearly brought out by the witness, as he stated in answer to Mr Stewart that it was till the wind and sea would go down a little.] Cross examined.—Norman Macdonald, who was in the uoat was to be the bearer of aletter from the lady to her mother. When going to Harris, there was no tale of violence. lie heard no noise and saw no violence whatever at Rodil, except what was made by Rodil himself and the clerk. There was no noise after the clerk went in. Mr. Donald Macdonald made no noise in the house. The sole object of going to Harris was to get the lady not to rob. He had before that heard that M r. Cooper desired to marry the lady, and had gone to Munkstadt with pistols to kill Munkstadt's son. He had heard that Mr. Cooper had asked the lady and the lady refused him. He (witness) had heard that the panel and lady had gone off before, bqt did not know where, and her uijchQd taken her from him in spite of her. When in the boat leaving Harris the lady said she was very happy. Several witnesses deposed to similar facts. At the conclusion of the prosecutor's case exculpatory evidence was put in. Mr. Kenneth Macdonald, uncle of the prisoner, knew the hand-, writing of Miss Jessie Macdonald, and identified as her's a letter handed to him, which he read to the jury, f Thursday Morning. My dearest Donald,—If the bearer of this letter meets you on your way here, you- must return hoixje. It seems that W. Macneil suspects, or else has heard what we have been intending to do. As he had no opportunity of telling Papa of it. he deputed John Macdonald to do so, which he did last night; and Papa immediately wrote William to find out all he knew of the matter. 1 heard this from the grieve's wife. John Macdonald told her husband of it. Now, my own Donald, we must be off this night. Yon had better not come till half-past eleven o'clock. I Shail be qu.te ready to start with you." (The reading of the letter was followed by ap- plause, which the sheriff suppressed.) The witness stated that it was not the intention of the party to have gone to Harris that night, untilhe heardMr, Cooper and Mr. Macdonald weregoingdirectfrom Dunvegan to Rodil to claim the lady. It was their intcntiou to be peaceable. There was no bar on the door at Rodil when they en- tered-it was simply latched. There was no disturbance till the lad appeared with the gun. Hodil awore at the people and threat- ened to shoot them from the windows. The lady, when she came to the boat, seemed perfectly pleased and happy. He knew that his nephew Donald had-firmness of character, lie then read a very complimentary letter from Lord Macdonald accompanying the appointment of the panel as factor in Jiqrtli Uist, addressed to the prisoner's father. By Mr. Mackay: Witness said it was a common thing in Skye, for one gentleman to enter another's house by the window. Was it common for gentlemen to enter, as some did, a friend's wife's bed-room ? No. He always took his btick with him, even when he went into a boat. By Mr. Stewart: Witness never heard of it being usual in the Long Island for wives to leave their husbands, and sleep with young ladies. He understood Miss Jessie Macdonald to have been twenty-one years of age at that time, Mr, Cooper Portree, commissioner for Lord Macdonald Mr. Donald Macdonald was not factor for Lord Macdonald, in North Uist, or elsewhere. He was sent to North Uist, till his lordship should see what was to be done. He had no books. [The witness produced some documentary evidence in support of this statement.] He (the panel) was in North Uist in February, 1850, and was acquainted with Miss Jessie Macdonald. He had an attachment to her, and made a proposal of marriage to her. Miss Macdonald led him to believe that he might. be successful. He could not say that she never rejected him.. She seemed to be in some considerable difficulty, The proposal was made out of doors, and Miss Macdonald's behaviour afterwards was such as to induce him to remain at Balranald for a few days longer than he had intended. She did not tell him formally not to recur to the matter again—she seemed in great difficulty, and said she never expected the offer. As he saw the difficulty she was in, he said no more on the subject, except that she should not permit it to distress her. He left the following week, in consequence of an urgent letter from' Portree, respecting the illness of a friend. When he went to Lochmaddy, he saw the vessel engaged a good way off. He then left the island by the packet, with Balranald they went to Portree, and on the Satur- day followi g the day he left the island, they intended going to Stornoway. Balranald was then in search of his daughter, and he intended to accompany him as a friend wherever he would go. They left either on Saturday night or Sunday, and went to Shieldaig. He did not recollect engaging the vessel, or telling the captain they were going in pursuit of Miss Macdonald. He had three or four pair of pistols, and, sent his servant to Corry- breck for a-pair. Mrs. Macdonald (Miss Jessie Macdonald) was then called, but the public prosecutor objected to her evidence being received, as she was the wife of the panel. Mr. Stewart replied that as much evidence had been adduced as to what Mrs. Macdonald had said, he was anxious that the jury should have it from her own mouth. The Court sustained the objection. Ronald Macdonald, servant to Dpnald Macnonald, assisted at the elopement. He was told before leaving Balliloch what to do. He got the trunks outside the lodge. The lady then came out, and went with Macdonald arm-in-arm to the dog-cart. They drove tandem, and witness rode the first horse. The lady was very anxious to be off, and they went as fast as their horses could carry them. Where they laughing ? "It's she that was." There was no force required, It is a very bad morning with ligliening and rain. Angus Macdiarmid, policeman, lives near Rodil, and was em- ployed for nearly a week before the lady was taken away from Rodil, to watch for fear she should be taken away. He was on the watch nigfrtly till twelve o'clock. The Procurator-Fiscal and Mr. Stewart then addressed the jury, Sheriff Colquhoun summed up, and the jury retired at seven minutes to nine o'clock. After an absence of ten minutes they returned, when their chancellor, Mr. Simon Fraser, Church- street, announced their verdict to be, by a majority, 'Not guilty.' The verdict wa received with great applause. The court was crowded towards the close of the proceedings and upon its breaking up, the crowd accompanied Mr. and Mrs. Macdonald to the house of the legal agent, Mr. C. Stewartj cheering them most heartily all the way.-Invemess Courier.

COMBINATION OUTRAGE.—We regret extremely to state that' upon Saturday evening last, when the railway waggon con- taining parcels was within two miles and a quarter of Sligo, at about five o'clock in the afternoon, it was attacked by a party. of men, who, having felled the driver, a man named William Walsh, with a blow over the temple, shot one of the horses' that were drawing the waggon. 'A man named Michael Marran. has been identified as one of the party engaged. Walsh is still in the Infirmary, though his injuries are not very serious. This outrage is supposed to be the result of a com- bination of parties injured by the running of this parcel Svaggon between Mullinger and Sli-o.-Sliqo Jouma

MONEY MARKET. LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING. The Stock Market is very depressed again, and prices have given way to per cent. The unfavourable weather is the principal cause, because compara- tively limited sales have in the present stagnant condition of business a greater effect than usual. Consols have realised 96 to ,6t for transfer, and 96J J for account. The New per Cents, have been marked 98 J and the Three per Cents. 96i Bank Stocii is worth 2184. Exchequer-bills are Sis. to 68s. premium. The Foreign Market is very dull. Mexican are 29J J. Brazilian Small Bonds hijtve :ralised9:. Portuguese Four per Cents, have ped] quoted Qat to and Spanish Three per Cents. 37 J. Dutch T wo-aud-a-Half per Cents. are nominally 57 to t. Railway Shares have been in some cases rather lower. Great Northern keeps up tolerably well, and Eastern Counties are not lower. South-Eastern are better.

LONDON CORN EXCHANGE- MONDAY.—At this morning's market we had a show of wheat by land carriage samples from the neighbouring counties. More thnn half of the samples exhibited on the Essex stands were of this year's growth, but of the Kent supply the proportion was not so great. The quality of the new wheat was better than expected; the weight of the general rur.s may be estimated at611bs., but a few lots appeared which would probably weigh 631bs. per bushel. The prices asked for the new wheat were deemed too high by the millers and at a late hour a considerable part of the supply remained unsold superior qualities of red were offered at 45s., and the best white at 50s. per qr. Old wheat moved off slowly, and we reduce our quo- tations Is. per qr. for English as well as foreign. Flour was difficult of disposal, hllfgood fresh ground qualities were not cheaper than on Monday last. The few triflinglots of English barley on the mar- ket were held firmly at previous prices, and though there was a plentiful display of foreign, a steady business was done in grinding qualities, at about former terms. Malt did not excite much atten- tion, but was quite as dear as before. The fresh arrivals of oats were not particularly extensive, either coastwise or from abroad. Having however, a large quantity of foreign on the market, the dealers experienced no difficulty in purchasing at last.Monday's cur- rency. Beans were in fair supply, and iiioved off slowly at late rates. The reports of the pea crop come daily more unfavourable, and this aiticle was held with extreme firmness to-day. We heard of no sales of wheat free on board at foreign ports; and floating cargoes of Indian corn were scarcely inquired for, the accounts from Ireland respecting potatoes being much less alarming than they were some time ago.

At the close of business a total clearance had not been effected. The supply of foreign wheat was not large nevertheless, inferior qualities were somewhat easier to purchase. This week's imports are 7,090 quar- tors. We were but moderately supplied with barley, all kinds of which moved off steadily at very full prices. The malt. trade was firm, but we have no change to notice in the quotations. The quan- tity of oats on offer was comparatively small. The demand for most kinds ruled firm at last week's currencies. Beans peas Indian corn, and flour unaltered.

SMITHFIELD. AlosDA T.-The past week's arrivals of foreign stock into London have been on an extensive scale, they having amounted to 7,289 head. Dating the same period in 1849, we received 5,152 in 1848, 4,342 and, in 1847, 7,260 head. The quality of the stock in hand since our last has been tolerably good, especially that of the calves. At the outports only 420 head have been received, chiefly sheep and calves. The arrivals from Ireland, last week, by sea, were 23 cows 20 sheep, 83 lambs, and 4 calves. From our own grazing districts the receipts of beasts fresh up this morning were considerably less than those reported on Monday last, and their quality by no means first-rate. The prinaest Scots, Ilerefords, &c., on offer moved off steadily at very full prices and the value of other breeds was well supported. The top figure for beef was 3s. 10d. per 81bs. There was a decided iallidg off in the numbers of sheep, and the supply of downs was unusually small. On the whole, the mutton trade ruled firm, but far from active, at about Friday's improvement in value. The'very primest old downs went at 4s. to 4s. 2d. per 8ibs. Lambs, the supyly of which was but moderate, moved off slowly, at about stationary prices, viz., 3s. 8d. to 4s. 8d. per 81bs. The inquiry for calves ruled steady, and the quotations were 2d. per 81bs. higher than on this day se'nnight. Prime small porkers were quite as dear. In other kinds of pigs, very little was doing.

WOOL. YORK, AUGUST 15.—The show of wool at our market this day was good, and we had 'a respectable attendance of buyers. The quantity shown was between 300 and 400 sheets. All the long wool found buyers, at a trifling advance over the rates of last market. Moor wool was slow of sale, the greater part remaining on hand. There was also a quantity of indifferent wool offered, which re- 'ceived very little attention.

BREAD. The prices of wheaten bread in the metropolis are from 6id,. to 7d. and household ditto 4d. to 6d. per 41bs. loaf.

HOPS. MONDA Y.- Although mould is prevalent in some districts of Mid- Kent, the hops, upon the whole, progress favourably, and the duty is estimated at £ 200,000. t-

PROVISIONS. MONDAY. In the Irish butter market there was a respectable amount of business transacted during the past week, principally- in tree on board sales for shipment, at an advance of Is. Oil general descriptions, and 2s. on the finer sorts. The bacou market ruled dull, except for prime sizeable meat, which met a ready sale at late rates. Hamburgh selling at 51s. In the English butter market the trade keeps pretty steady, and the finest lists, of Dorset butter are in request at the full quotations but stale and inferior parcels stiii remain, to increase stock.
