NOTiCES TO CORRESPONDENTS. The valuable coiiamunications,from R. I," and H. V.' are unavoidably postponed to our next. ERRATUM.—In our stJnumber it was stated, under the head Dowlais Iron Works, that Mr. Guest had presented each of his principal agents with a donation of 501. We made this statement in cousequcncc of a letter addressed to us ct little before our going to press, and signed, we believed, by one of Mr. Guest's agents. We since find that the fact stated did not take place, and that the signature of the letter was not that of the gentleman whose we .sup- posed it to he. We expect shortly to detect the author of this contemptible and vulgar forgery.

GLAMORGANSHIRE. CARDIFF.—We have great pleasure in stating that the Marquess of Bute reached Cardiff Castle ou Sunday evening last. CARDIFF BENEFIT AND ANNUITANT SOCIETY.

Our Trinity Quarter Sessions commenced at Neath on Tuesday last, before John Nicholl, Esq. M.P. and the following Magistrates :— -The-illost-Noble the Marnuess of Bute, Custoa Rotulorum' The Hon. W. B. Grey. T. W. Booker, Esq. J. D. Berrington, Esq. Thomas Edmondes, Esq. .Rev. J. M. Traheme. Walter Coffin, Esq. J. B. Bruce, Esq. H. J. Grant, Esq. Rev. Edward Thomas, Charles Waide, Esq, Rev, James Evalls, R. F. Jenner, Esq. Rev. IE. Windsor Richards. T. Edward Thomas, Esq. Rev. Robert Knight. Thomas Leyshon, Esq. Frederick Vredrickit, Esq. John Nathaniel Miers, Esq. J. M. Richards, Esq. David Tennant, Esq. Thomas D. Place, Esq. Calvert R. Jones, Esq. Rev. W. Biucc Knight. Rev. George Thomas. Richard Morgan, Esq. After the opening of the Court, and the hearing of pre- liminary motions, the Magistrates proceeded to the settle- ment of the county accounts. Among other resolutions, it was nnanimously determined, on the proposition of the | Chairman, that the Court should be opened henceforward at nine o clock in the morning, for the better dispatch of business, and that elven should he the fixed hour for iaves tigatmg the county expenditure. It was also determined that in future as in all English counties, and in most other Welsh counties, the appellant parish in appeals against orders of removal should be obliged to produce the pauper wlthont notice, Also that the Chairman, asslstpd by the Clerk of the Peace and Treasurer, should prepare against the Michaelmas Quarter Sessions a system of rules for the future practice of the Sessions. A new table of fees to be demanded by Magistrates' Clerks was also considered and 'e's approved of, previous to it confirmation by the Judge. The Hon. W. B. Grey and Walter Coffin, Esq. were deputed by the Court to waitou the Judge at the ensuing Assizes, and confer with him on the allowances to professional men, witnesses, &c.; and also to request his Lordship's inter- ference with the Clerk of Arraigns to desire that officer to furnish the Treasurer with the items of his claim for fees, as there was reason to suspect that in the present system of paying them in the lump, the larger countics were paving for the Jack of fees in the smaller. Among other fees proposed to be henceforward demanded by the learned Cleik was one for an Ignoramus, which excited much laughter in the Court. The salary of Mr. Whittington, County Bridge Surveyor, was increased from 201. to 301. per annum, in consequcnce of the great increase of his labours, and the general approbation of his conduct. The Rev. J. M. Traherne read a letter from C. R. M. Talbot, Esq. M.P. stating that he had not yet been able to get salistactory information on the subject of County Gaolers sa.aries, but as soon a9 he had completed his enquiries oe would make a motion on the subject. Walter Coma, Esq. thought that it was only justice to the servants of the county that fair notice should be given of such motions, and a proposition moved by him, was carried, that a notice, either to increase or to diminish the salaries of the servants of the countv, should be entered at one Quarter Sessions and be discussed at the succeeding. A letter was read from J.J. Guest, Esq. M.P. apologizing for not oeing present, in consequence of attendance in the House of Commons. On the motion of F. Fredricks, Esq. the propositions made by Mr. Guest at the Easter Quarter Sessions were put seriatim. The first four resolutions, proposing an Audit Committee, and that the business should he transacted in the body of the Court, were negatived The sixth resolution, viz. that the Clerk of the Peace draw up minutes of the business to be transacted at the Quarter Sessions, and send a copy of such minutes to each acting Magistlate ten days birfore the Sessions," was carried, with the amendment proposed by J. n. Bruce, Esq. that the copies should be tniy sent to the Chairman, and to the Clerk of each Hundred." A very abie report from iNIr. Gardiner, the principal engineer at Dowlais, upon the state of the wheel and the other machinery of the County Gaol, was read to the Court, who expressed themselves greatly indebted to Mr. Guest for the handsome manner in which the invaluable services of Ifr. Gardiner had been given gratuitously to to the county. Roscrouther, Pembrokeshire, Appellants, and Merthyr Tydvil, Responderits.-This was an appeal against an order of removal. Mr. Meyrick, for the respondents, moved the Court to adjourn the hearing of this appeal, on the ground that a principal witness was in Moravia. Mr, James opposed the motion. The Court refused the application, there being no direct evidence to prove that the witness would be in attendance at the ensuing Quarter Sessions.—Order quashed. Letterion, Pembrokeshire, Appellants, and Merthyr Tydvil, Re.,Pondepits.rhis was an appeal against an order for the removal of Anne Eynon order and suspension dated 26th August; subsequent order made 25th March, 1833, for payment of GOi. 3s. Mr. James for the appellants. The pauper in this case was unable to attend and give evidence. Mr. James admitted her settlement to be in the appellants'parish, but contended that the order was void, inasmuch as there was no notice of the suspension served °n the appellants and there being no service of the order within a reasonable time, the original order was void, and the appellants not liable for the expenses incurred during the suspension. Mr. Meyrick contended in opposition, that as the appeal was lodged against the order of removal, and not against the expenses incurred during the suspension, and the settlement being admitted in the appellants' parish, the order should be confirmed. The Court, having been some time in deliberation, suggested, that the appellants should pay 201. part of the expenses, and the rest of the expenses borne by the respondents, and each party pay their own costs. This was acceded to on eech side. St Peter's, in the Jlorough of the County of Carmarthen, Appellants, and Merthyr Tydvil, Respmideitts.-Touching the removhl of Henry Howell and family. The order of removal and suspension dated 27th Nov. 1832; subsequent order dated 26th of April, 1833, for payment of 71. 19., 6d. Mr. Meyrick, for the respondents, proved the service of an original order of removal and suspension on the 28th November last, and contended that, there being no appeal lodged the then next Quarter Sessions (viz. Epiphany, 1833), no appeal could be lodged at the present Sessions. It was contended by Mr. Richards, for the appellants, that as they were not grieved till the order was executed, and as the order had not beon executed till April last, they were in time to al)pcal.-Order confirmed. Cadoxton, Juxta Neath, Appellants, and Merthyr Tydvil, Respondents —Touching the removal of Jane Jones. This was a case which chiefly turned on the credit of the witnesses. The pauper (Jane Jones) and her stepmother positively swore to a yearly hiring and service with Alre. SanvUrook, in the hamlet of DyfTryn Clydach. Mrs. Sam- brook as positively swore it was only a six months' hiring. Mr. Richards, for the appellants, contended that as Dyffryn Clydach was a distinct hamlet, paying its own poor, the order should have been directed to the overseers of that hamlet; but Mr. Meyrick, for the respondents, proved that the pauper had been delivered in the first instance to the churchwarden of Cadoxton, who was ex officio overseer of the whole parish and that the churchwarden had desired the pauper to be taken to the Dyffryn Clydach overseer.— Order confirmed, with costs. Mr. Richards applied for a case, but the Court refused to grant it.- Lantait Vardre, Appellants, and Lanwonno, Respondents. —This was an appeal against the order of removal of the Thomas Morgan, weaver, and family, from Lanwonno to Lantwit Vardre. Tne appellants having sent a notice to withdraw their appeal, the order was confirmed. Rex, on prosecution of James Thomas, against Mary Hughes, for stealing a purse containing five pounds and six shillings- Verdict, Guilty. Three months'imprisonment in the House of Correction. Rex, on prosecution of the Rev. William Bruce Knight, Clerk, against Margaret Griffiths, for stealing milk. The prosecutor s farm baiJiif proved that in the night of the 25th May last, he caught the prisoner in a field milking one of the prosecutor's cows, and that on apprehension the prisoner confessed her guilt. The prosccutor proved also a confession by the prisoner on the following day. He also stated that she was in his employ, and he always considered her to have been trustworthy.— Guilty. Mr Nicholl, in passing sentence, observed, that a mild sentence would be passed in consequence of the prosecutor's humane and earnest interposition; and she was therefore sentenced to six weeks' imprisonment and hard labour in the House of Correction. [We are informed that the practice of clandestinely milking the cows belonging to the Rev. Gentleman "had been continued for between one and two vears, before he resorted to legal measures.] Ilex, on Prosecution of John Daniel, against Elisabeth Morris, for stealing a piece of cotton twist. In this case, It appeared by the evidence of Mr. Cox, the Governor of the House of Correction, that the prisoner appeared while imprisoned not to be of sound mind.— Verdict, that the prisoner was not of sound mind at the time the felony was committed. Rex, on the prosecution of Thomas Darker, against Jane Evans, for stealing sugar.—The prisoner pleaded Guilty. Two calendar months' hard labour in the County Gaol. Rex, on the prosecution af Elizabeth Thomas, against Henry Jenkins, for stealing acoat.—Pleaded Guilty. Three months' imprisonment in the County Gaol, and to be kept to hard labour. The King, on the prosecution of Rosser Thomas and others, against Edward Morgan and William Williams, for conspiracy and riot. The case on'the part, of th-o prosetution was stated by Mr. Richards. Mr. Lewis Thomas proved that the prosecutors, Rosser Thomas, Thomas Wedlake, and witness, were occupiers of of the Cam Gething Colliery, in the parish of Gellygare. In the month of April last, several collieries in Monmouth- shire were stopped some days in consequence of the colliers refusing to work; and in the year 1832 the collieries of the prosecutors were stopped for three weeks by colliers from other works. Mr. Thomas Thomas proved that he was einployed as a clerk at his father's colliery, at Tyr y berth, in Gellygare. On the 9th of April last he saw 200 or 300 persons, amongst whom were the defendants, coming from the direction of the Place Colliery towards Cam Gething Colliery. The defendants were colliers, and there were several colliers in the crowd and witness believed they were from the neighbouring'collieries. Defendant Williams told some hoys who were in the crowd, to go into the Cam Gething Colliery to call out the prosecutor's colliers, and the hoys went towards the level, when witness at that time dissuaded them from going in. Williams said to witness that he begged the favour of being allowed to send for the colliers out of the level, but witness said he could not do so as his father, Rosser Thomas, was from home. Some persons in the crowd called out it would be better for witness to Jet them go in by fair means. Shortly after, a tram came out of the level, some boys went into the works, and witness was afraid to prevent their doing so, on account of the number of people and the language they used. Some of the crowd placed themselves across the road to prevent the empty trams from being taken in. Witness placed himself alongside of one of the trams and drove the horse towards the persons who stood across the road and asked them to move out of the way but not doing so, witness beat the horse who got into the midst of the people, on which some of them struck the horse with sticks, bit on witness whipping him forward, he passed through with the trair. One of the crowd took up a stone with which he said be would knock out witness's brains. Witness left the tram in chargc of a boy, who took it towards the level. Witness then stood with bis face towards the peo- ple, and on turning round he saw the horse had been taken ¡ I from the tram. and that the prisoners were sitting thereon. the pri,3oner. were si Witness directed the boy who had charge of the horse, to fasten him to the tram, but Williams prevented his doing 50, "Itness then tried to fasten the horse to the traul. but Williams prevented his doinz so, by keeping his foot on the plate to which the traces were fastened. The peop.e were talking together in different parties.. r.iia wituess was strictly cross.examined by Mr. ej ric anu stated that no one was struck, and that the thiea s were nsed by a man of the name of Tom. Smith. hvan Price, farm labourer, in the employ of Rosser Thomas, and Edward Nicholas, farmer of Tyr y berrh, proved the assemblage of the peoole at Cam Gething, and corroborated several facts deposed to bv Thomas I hotnas. ™ n Price also proved that Thomas Su.ith said to Thomas Thomas, that if he had a inandraii in '»s haml he would strike him through, and that if he had a stone he would knock out his brains. On cross-examination, Evan Price stated, that the crowd wished to have the colliers oilt; that Edward Morgan said, if they could not get them out, they would go beyond them that there was a talk about wages in the neighbour- liood that the people called out and were blackgiiardish, were making a noise and threatening; were not singing it w* an^ excellent opportunity for scotching and breaking David Hughes, a boy of 14 years of age, proved that he worked at the Place Colliery, and remembered the day that the colliers went to Carn Gething; that before they went there they came to the Placc Colliery, and sent for ti the workmen to come out of the level that after they had done so, a court was formed by the mob, who made a rlOg, and the Place men were put in the middle; that the, mob asked the 1 lace men why they worked, and if they weie not ashamed of themselves, and that they ought to join like brothers; that witness, with the Place men, against his inclination, accompanied the mob to Carn Get that the Placemen were sent on first, and WCle called black sheep; that when they got to Cam Gething, witness and other boys were sent into the level, to tell the colliers to come out; that the colliers did not however do so. Henry Smokum, a lad of 15, corroborated the testlmony of the last witness, and accompanied him iuto the Carn Gething level. The case for the prosecution being closed, Mr. Meyrick addressed the Court, and contended there was no case to go to the jury and on being over. ruled by the Chairman, in an ingenious address he commented on the evidence that had been adduced, at considerable length. Mr. Nicholl commenced his summing up to the jury by stating, that the defendants stood charged with conspiring, together with other colliers, to intimidate and oppress, the prosecutors" in the occupation of the Cam Githing Col- liery, and to prevent the workmen in their employ from continuing to work that such offence was difiereully charged in other counts of the indictment, and that the last count of the indictment was for a riot. tlfr. Nicholl than, in a most clear and able manner, explained to the jury the law of conspiracy and riot; and having read the whole of the evidence he stated, that he left it in the hands of the jury, being well convinced they would do their duty as well to the defendants as to the public. Thejury having consulted together for about 10 minutes, brought in a verdict of Not Guilty. This case occupied the Court several hours, and the Court adjourned at 12 o'clock at night, to Wednesday, for the trial of a traverse, being the only case not dispojed of. he learned Chairman is eminently entitled to the thanks of the county at large, for his exertions on this, and on every other public occasion. He sat in Court without stirring till near one o'clock at midnight, assisted by several other highly respcctpd Magistrates; and, by this laborious application, saved much of the valuable time, and greatly diminished the expenses of the suitors and witnesses, as well as the county rates. At these sessions a five farthing rate, amoun:ing to 1,6851. 15s. 7jd. was ordered. PRISONERS IN CARDIFF GAQL.—For transporta- tion, 1; trial at Assize, 3 debtors, 17 for bastardy, 2 ;convicted felons, 4; misdemeanors, 4-totat 31. MERTHYR —The Marquess of Bute, accompanied by Smith, Esq., a gentleman distinguished by his attainments in astronomy, arrived here on Wednesday evening last, and went to inspect Cyfarthfa iron works, with which, we understand his lordship and Mr. Smith were much gratified. The noble Marquess returned the following morning to Cardiff Castle. CONVEYANCE BETWEEN MERTHYR & BRISTOL. -On Wednesday a meeting took place at the Castle Inn, the result of which is embodied in resolutions advertised in another column. The object of the meeting is one in which the trade of Merthyr, but much more the inhabitant householders of Merthyr, are very materially interested. Perhaps nine-tenths of the expenditure of the inhabitants of this town, exclusive of what is spent in food, is spent in the manufactured products of Birmingham, Lancashire, and the clothing districts of Yorkshire. At present, s nearly all these articles come by canal to Worcester, thence by wagon (at a great expense, which must fall on the purchaser) to Merthyr. If the communication between Merthyr and Bristol were put upon some thing like a tolerable footing, these things would go by canal to Stourport thence down the Severn to Bristol and arrive at Merthyr equally soon, and at a much lower expense. The worst part of the delay in the transmission between Bristol and Merthyr hitherto has been, that goods put on ship board at Bristol have lain there frequently a week, sometimes longer, before they moved from that port. By the merv,c- Nautilus of the, goods will move from Bris- tol to Cardiff every alternate day. At Cardiff, the only chance of delay now is, that the cargoes by the Nautilus, added to such other cargoes as may be there, directed to Merthyr, may not be sufficient to induce any of the boats which may lie there plying for Merthyr, to make an instant passage. To obviate this, we eonceive that if the trade of Merthyr wo" d direct that their purchases from the North should come Vlà Bristol, thence by the Nautilus, there would then be practically a constant immediate transmission of goods three days in the week, all the way from Bmtol to Merthyr. SWEET FRUITS OF AGITATION.—AS AO IN*« Stance, at our our own door, and probably there are thousands throughout the country, of the mischief wrought upon the labouring classes by political agita- tlOD. we may remark, that at the meeting in this town, on IVednesday last, to devise means of more speedy conveyance to Bristol, Mr. Joseph Tregellis Price stated, that the Marquess of Bute was restrained from commencing the extensive and long desired improvements at Cardiff, only by the precarious state in which the political condition of the country lias placed all kinds of property. MAIL COACH OVERTVRNED.- Ón Wednesday last about five in the afternoon" as the mail was proceed- ing from Cardiff to Merthyr, near the Upper Boat, two miles below Newbridge, the axletree broke, and the hind wheel coming off, the coach was unable to proceed. Except one gentleman, who received a slight contusion on his knee, no person sufferad any injury, though the coach had its full number of out- side passengers. Mr. Pearson, who fortunately was passing in his gig, carried forward the bags which arrived at their usual time. EXTRAORDINARY GROWTH. There is now living in this parish a boy, seven years of age, whose wrist measures seven and a half inches in circumference. He is proportionably stout in other respects, and in good health and strength. VALUATION or THE PARISH.—We are informed that Messrs. Beyldon and Fosbrook will very soon have concluded their undertaking of valuing the dif- ferent properties of this extensive parish, to form a criterion for the poor rates. This dispatch is highly creditable to those gentlemen, and we hope it will bring to a complete termination those unpleasant disputes which have so often arisen on the subject. MUSEUM.—Our little town has for some days been r pleasingly enlivened by the exhibition of Seaman's Zoological Museum. This extensive repository of curiosities of nature and art is contained in seven large caravans, which, when placed in their proper position and fully developed, form an apartment of about 60 feet by 40, replete with a valuable assortment of curiosities of every description, which will afford to the spectators a full share of gratification and amusement. EXTRAORDINARY BIRTH. A poor woman at Nantycrlo was, on Wednesday week, delivered of four children, of whom three died shortly after their birth, and the fourth only lived two days. GLAMORGANSHIRE AGRICULTURAL REPORT. JULY 4.—The weather has been extremely unfa- vourable for the hay harvest, having had only three days without rain since the 10th of last month and but a small portion of the hay, stacked since that, period, can be in good condition. The cold weather, indeed tends to preserve it longer in a green state but, generally speaking, the crop this year will be deficient both in quality and quantity j the low temperature for the last month having produced no vegetation, which is further evinced by the deficiency of keep on the pastures. The early grasses were ri- pened by the dry warm .veatherlin May and beginning of June: and where they are still uncut they present a white appearance. The culm, having undergone the process of bleaching, is devoid of juice; and even should they be well harvested, they will be little better than straw. The wheat crop has suffered from the violent storm on the 11th of last month. In exposed situations, particularly near the coast, the ears were bent down or cut off, and so completely demolished, that the crop has, in one instance at least, been mown for fodder, and the land p'oogbed up for turnips, la.all situations .1'" '7. j V. J a gre:tt portion of the straw was laid close to the gi O'lnd, and still remains knee-bent, which prevent, it from deriving sufficient nourishment from the root. The wet cold weather has also proved unfavourable for wheat deriving the process of blossoming, and we cannot calculate on the ear being well filled. A most temarkable change took place from the 10th to the 11th of last month: at three o'clock P.M. on the former day, the thermometer stood at seventy four degrees, and at the same hour on the following day it only reached fifty three degrees; from the latter period to the present date, the mean temperature is only ttfty five and a half degrees, which is four and a halt below the usual average of June in this latitude. Spring graiu derived great benefit from the rain but barley, oats, peas, and beans, will be still below aver- age crops. Potatoes came up very irregular; in many instances they did not vegetate at al, and the ground has been planted over again. The too general practice of cutting the sets very small may have been one cause. Light covering of earth failed to protect them from the sun, and ensure them sufficient moisture. The same disappointment has been experienced with the mangel seed, which remained near the surface, upwards of five weeks before it vegetated. Turnips vegetate slowly, but are free from the tlv, owing, pro- pably, to the low temperature ofthe air.

MONM O UTHSHIRE. MONMOUTHSHIRE QUARTER SESSIONS. The Monmouthshire Quarter Sessions were holden at Usk, on Monday, befere a most respectable bench of magistrates, of whom Lord Granville Somerset was Chairman. Benjamin Thomas and Mary Thomas (the former 22, the latter 23 years of age, passing for man and wife) the woman charged with stealing, and the man with receiving, four notes, of the Monmouth and Abergavenny Bank, of tho vallie of 201, the property of Edmund James, were acquitted, prosecutor not appearing. John Thomas, aged 25, brother to the prisoner Benjamin Thomas, for breaking into the shop of VVilliam Lewis, at Castletown, on Sunday night, the 7th of April, and steal ing therefrom sundry skin boots and shoes, &c.-G,iilty. Seven years' transportation. [This man,'we belieVe, has been connected, with a gang of thimble players, and other bad characters. He was imprisoned in Coldbath fields, as a vagrant, not long since, and it is supposed that a reward has been offered for his apprehension on a charge of felony in North Wales.. JVstkin Davis, for stealing coal, three no imprison- ment. William Williams, for stealing bacon, &c., two months' imprisonment. Mary Watford, charged with feloniously receiving lea. ther, acquitted. Ann Morgan, for the same oflence, guilty, 18 months'imprisonment. William Walford, for the same, evidence discharged. AIII Franklyn, Joseph Franhlyn, and Thomas Daties. Upon the first indictment, for stealing a watch, they were all acquitted. Thomas Davies stood further charged with having, on the 26th and 27th December last, obtained 56 quarts of beer, under false pretences, from Wm. Thomas, of Newport, victualler, of which he was found guilty, and sentenced to two mouths imprisonment in, Monmouth county gaol. Edward Parry, for stealing coal, six weeks imprison- ment. Thomas Rogers, for stealing a smock frock and pair of stockings, four months' imprisonment. Mary Anne Matthews, for stealing a purse, containing three sovereigns and some silver, nine months imprison- ment. John Powell, for keeping a house of ill fame, on the Low hill, in the parish of Trevethin, and for refusing to find sureties to appear at the quarter sessions, twelve months' imprisonment. Ruth Harris, for the like offence, six months imprison- ment. Mary Anne Morris, John Venable and Sarah Venable, charged with receiving stolen leather, the property of William Lewis, not guilty.. Thomas Edmunds, {or burglary in the house Oi Mr. Blyth, draper, Usk, was remanded.. Richard Pitt, for an assault upon a sheriff s officer, and with force obtaining a silver watch and othpr property, which had been dilly distrained for a debt, was fined 40s. and to find sureties for his good behaviour for 12 months, or be imprisoned till he did. No bills were found against William Keynolds, Mary Morgan, William Williams, George Jones, Barbara Morgan, Lewis Morgan, Ann Jones and James Dwyer. HORSE STEALING.—A man, calling himself James Webb, came to the Butcher's Arms, Monmouth, on Saturday night last, with a mare. The landlord's suspicions being excited, he had him apprehended and taken before a magistrate, in the forenoon of Sunday, by whom the man was committed for further examination. On lookinG" over the" Hue and Cry" which came by that day's mail, it appeared that a mare, answering the description of the one in the prisoner's possession, was stolen from the neighbour- hood of Frome, Somersetshire, on the 27th of June, and that a reward of 101, was offered for the appre- hension and conviction of the offender. This is the fourth committal to Monmouth gaol, for horsestealing, since the assizes in March. POST OFFICE IMPROVEMENT.—By an improved regulation about to be adopted, it will he arranged, that the mail from Lqndon, will reach Monmouth at 12, instead of half-past 12, and the mail from Mil. ford will reach us half an hour later than at present, which will leave us an hour and a half interval be- tween the arrival of letters from London and their departure for that place.

BRECONSHIRE. 3 BRECONSHIRE QUARTER SESSIONS. The Breconshire Quarter Sessions were held on Tuesday last, before Henry Allen Esq, Chairman, and a full bench of magistrates, at the Shire Hall, which has recently been made very commodious. There were three appeals to orders of removal entered for trial, viz. Llangather, Carmarthenshire, Appellants, Ystradgunlais, Breconshire, Respondent.—Touching the removal of Anne Evans, widow and her two children. Order quashed by consent. Saint Martin, Hereford, Appellant, and Hay, Brecon shire, Respondent Touching the removal of Mary Roberts, widow.

Llansamlet, Glamorganshire, Appellant, and Llaneily, Breconshire, Respondent.rouching the removal of Mary Rees, (wife of William Rees) and their three children. The respondents made out a primil facie case by showing the maiden settlement of Mary Rees to be in the appellant parish, and the appellants having failed in proving the settlement of the husband, who is now in America, the justices' order was confirmed. There were two prisoners for trial, William Price and Tryphena Prothro, alias Morgan, each charged with larceny. They were both acquitted. The following appeals to orders of removal were lodged, and the trials thereof respited until the next sessions. Llanwenarth, Monmouthshire, appellant, and Llaneily* Breconshire, respondent; Devynnock, Breconshire, ap- pellant, and St. Mary's, Brecon, respondent; St. Wollas, Monmouthshire, appellant, and St. John the Evangelist, Brecon, respondent; Merthyr Tydvil. Glamorgansllire, appellants, and Llaneily Breconshire respondent. The rules of the Cambrian Friendly society held at the Swan Inn, 'Brecon, and those of the society held at the Three Horse Shoes, in the parish of Llanvihangel Nant- brane, were confirmed, and filed with the clerk of the peace, pursuant to the late act of Parliament. Previous to the Grand Jury, nineteen in number, (of whom, Henry Vaughan, Esq. of Ilanvillo, was foreman), fceing discharged, the learned Chairman reminded them of the provisions of the Reform Act, particularly as to notices of claims to vote being delivered to the overseers on or before the 20th of Jtfly; and he also explained the neces- sity for great care being taken in making out the returns of persons liable to serve upon juries, the forms for which were delivered by the clerks of the peace, to the chief con. stable, pursuant to the 6th of Geo. IV. cap. roo HAY—We regret to learn that the funds for erect- ing the new Chbrch at this place are not adequate, but we earnestly hope that the benevolent feelings of the Christian public will induce them to supply the deficiency. CRICKHOWELL Those infatuated marauders, the Scotch Cattle, have, though not in great numbers, commenced their outrages in this neighbourhood. The Clydach colliery, the Company's wharf, at Lla- nelly, aud the house of Mr. Williams, at Langattock, have been visited by them in their usual manner but, between the determined resolution of the inhabitants, and the active exertions of the magistracy, there is good reason to expect that every man of them will, ere long, receive the full measure ef punishment that he I ighteously deserves. CRICKHOWELL FANCY BA.ZAA.R.- The ladies resident in Crickbowell and its vicinity, for the be. nevolent purpose of founding an infant school, wrought up the materials of a very handsome display of useful and ornamental articles which made their appearance on the 26th of last month, at the bazaar at Crick- howell. That this excellent purpose might be pur- sued with the greatest success, the Vicar, on the previous evening, invited his parishioners to prayer in the parish church, where, like Hezekiah of old., "spreading the whole matter before the Lord, he invoked the divine blessing on the undertaking. On the following day, the devotion and benevolence of ihe public equally conduced to five to the endeavours f > f. of the fair artisans, who had exerted themselves on 1 this interesting occasion, a harvest of crowning suc- cess. The beautiful competitor" for custom, who presided at the different stalls, exerted themselves in the disposal of their elegant merchandize with a per- severance, which is not surpassed in any of our shops on market day, and with a grace, which showed how perfectly compatible the most earnest importunity may be with the most delicate sense of female modesty. The success of the day's sale was such as could have been produced only by this rare concurrence of many excellent causes; in fact, it produced no less than £ 160. At the principal stalls, Mrs. and the Misses Baileys of Glanusk, and Miss Bevan, of Glan yr avon, presided with great elegance of manner, and with equal s.ki!l in securing customers. Nor can We with- hold our encomium of the taste evinced by the gen- tlemen artists in the erection and decoration of the stalls. So great was the attraction of the tout ensem- ble, that the receipts at the doors alone, for tickets at Is. each, amounted to between 101. and Ill, MILFORO, Jur.T 4, 1833.—The brig Plansworth, Nesbet, from Newport, bound to London, with a caro of iron and tin, put in at Milford this week leaky, and has since been hauled alongside the wharf, in order to be discharged and undergo the necessary repairs. CAUTION.—OIL Sunday eveniug last, about half a mile from this place, a man apparently in a state of intoxication, in attempting to get up behind the mail coach going at full speed, unfortunately missed his hold and came back with such force to the ground, as to lie for some moments insensible. Medical assist- ance being procured, it was ascertained that a severe contusion of the head had been received, and his face terribly disfigured, the necessary means to restore animation were immediately resorted to, and he so far recovered as to be pronounced out of danger. We do not remember having seen at any time more company than are here this season: there is not a lodging but what has been engaged, and our prome- nades continually wear a gay and fashionable appear- ance. Among the late arrivals we notice — Sir William and Lady Phillips; P. Clarke, Esq.; Curtis, Esq.; T. P. McDonnell, Es4. Doctor Morgan, and family; Captain Grey, and family; Mr. Pape; Air. Wright; Mr- Brahain; Mr. Cousins, and family; Mrs. Hanmer; Misses Harris; Miss Wood; Miss Wil- liams, &c. ÐIYNER TO SIR. R. R, VYVYA?T—On Wednesday week a most animating meeting took place at Bristol, on the occasion of a dinner given by the constituency of that city to their justly admired representative, Sir Richard Vyvyan. The company consisted of about 500 in number, and comprised. with few exceptions, alltheniost respectable gentlemen in Bristol and in its neighbourhood. Previous to the dinner, an admirably wrought cutsnnff box, out of an oak beam which formed part of the Custom House at Bristol, was presented to Sir Richard, with a very appro- priate address, by Mr. Charles Taylor- The entertainment took place in a pavilion 132 feet by 51, erected for the occasion on the extensive grounds belonging to the residence formerly occupied by Col. Baillie. The lOyal and animating toasts given on the occasion were introduced by music, and besides an excellentband, eight professional and amateur vocalists of great skill and taste added zest to the pleasures of the day. All those toasts, which men who love their country and understand its interests drink with delight, were given; and when the health of Sir Richard Vyvyan was drank, with acclamations loud and long, the honourable Baronet returned thanks in a speech which we hope we have better taste than to attempt to abridge. The speech, which is given in our conteinporay, the Bristol Journal, is one of national, and of deep national importance and the public, if they will clearly understand the public interest, will read it in the origina'- and it will excite in them most important reflections. After the health of the honourable Baronet had been drank, several other loyal and patriotic toasts were drank, and eloquently acknow- ledged and the evening passed in a state of enjoyment and exultation rarely equalled. A BILL FOR THE FARTHER EXTENSION OF FORGERY.—These words are the proper, designation of the bill proposed by his Majesty's most sagacious advisers, with respect to the Bank charter. A swindler in any part of the country will order goods exceeding five pounds in value. From the moment they are in his hands, the transaction becomes a matter of debtor and creditor. By the wise pro- visions of the bill, a bank note is to be a legal tender. Scaramouch offers his bank note, and (what tradesman in England can detect a forged note?) the creditor is bound to accept the legal tender." rong before John Draper, or William Goldsmith, or whatever he is, can send his precious bargain up to London and learn what it is made of, my gentleman is over the hills and far away." No doubt the silversmiths, the innkeepers, the stage coach proprietors, the tailors, and bootmakers, and many others, will have a brisk trade of it. Richardson, M. C. and M'Donnell, M. D. will be too maDY lor us at last, by the help of the King's ministers. POLITICAL U.Niori.-The Birmingham Political Union men have had a meeting. at which after a hearty execration of the Whigs and Tories, and the 11 corrupt constituency of the country. they have resolved to adjourn their future meeting. nrn die, because the cash runs dry. They have not been able to help; themselves to other people's cash so soon as they expected. THE DUTCH WEST INDIES—The agi ation of the Emancipation question has produced fearful effects in the Dutch settlements. At Surinam a revolt, instigated prin- cipally by three youths under twenty, has broken out, and commenced action, in the usual manner, by the destruction of property by fire. It was checked in an early stage of its progress, and when the accounts came away, it was under discussion whether the agitators of the mouvtfment should or should not, according to the old law of the settlement, be burned to death in the fire of their own kindling. We hope no such doings will take place in the British settle- ments. BooK. DEBT. A correspondeut on this subject writes as follows A bill being now before parliament relating to debtor and creditor, I, am astonished at the apathy shown by tradesmen, in not coming forward to petition for a clause to the effect that outstanding book debts sha 1 bear interest after a certain time-say all ao counts delivered in December, if not paid before the 1st of April fol owing, bear interest the same as a promissory note. —Bath Journal. J ANECDOTE OP BURKE.—During one of the de- bates on the affairs of America, Hartley, the Member for Hull, after having driven four-fifths of a very full house from the benches, by an unusually dull speech, at length requested that the not act might be read, for the purpose ofelucidating one of his propositions. Burke, who was impatient to address the house himself, immediately started up. and exclaimed, fI The riot act! my dearest friend, wh>, in he name of every thing sacred, have the riot act rr i urn' you 8ee» is already dispersed Peals of laughter followed the utterance of this comic appeal, which Lord North frequently declared to be one of the happiest instances of wit he ever heard. Georgian Era. FOUNTAIN OF FiitF-The Notizie del Giorno of Rome states, that in digging a well at Gaarino's in the district of Conegliano, a fountain of fire was discovered, or rather a current of hydrogen gas, which in two days rose to upwards of two yards, and with a diameter of about eight inches. Some days afterwards, when the perforation had reached the depth of about fifty yards, the current bccame so powerful that the flame rose to about eleven yards, but keepmg nearly the same di.meter as before, and throwing up at the same time a quantity of water, clay, and sand.

SONS OF THE CLERGY.rhIrsday the Anniversary of the Sons of the Clergy was celebrated at St. Paul's Cathe dral, where a numerous assemblage of rank and fashion took place, and an appropriate sermon was delivered in support of the charity. The instrumental and vocal per- formers were numerous, and arranged similarly as at the rehearsal of the music. which was the same that has been performed for a series of years. The dinner, which was usually held at Merchant Tailor's Hall, was dispensed with this year; it was formerly very splendid and extrava- gant, and attended by noblemen, bishops, the judges, and the clergy. A handsome subscription was entered into at the entbediral.-Clwier Courant. TO THE ]i.

THURSDAY NIGHT. goo (PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE.) LONDON. July 4. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF COMMONS, JULY 4. To day the House of Commons adopted the novel and improved practice cf proceeding to the public business at 12 o'clock, and a very numerous attendance of about 250 members, was the result. They proceeded to discuss the Irish Church Tempor- alities Bijl, Much surprise was excited by a motion, by Mr. tfColluell, that th present salary of the bishop of Derry be not diminished. He stated that his reason for doing this was, that the Right Rev. Prelate had evinced great liberality towards the Catholics of Ireland: and though the motion was ob- jected to by Mr. Finn, and Mr. Shiel, who r-aid that it was contrary to the feeling of the people of Ireland, the honourable and learned gentleman persisted in it, and said that he was as good an organ of expression for the people of Ireland as the other honourable gentlemen. Much speculation has been excited by the unexpected tenderness of the honourable gentle- man for the bishop of Derry, especially when con- nected with the circumstance of the Right Rev. Prelate being brother-in-law of the noble premier. It recalls to recollection the remarkable expression of the present Lord Chancel'or, a few days before the breaking up of the late administration, that," whatever might happen it could not make no possible difference in his condition," when, in less than a week, he was found in the house of lords, Baron Brougham and Yaux, Lord High Chancellor of England. Ministers evince an extraordinary eagerness to get through the business of the Sessions many important measures, of which notice had been given, being withdrawn. It is expected parliament will be pro- rogued the first or second week in August. The West India body had a meeting yesterday which ended in appointing a deputation to call on Mr. Stanley for a copy of the bill about to be intro- duced isato parliament relative to slave emancipation. This I understand, Mr. 8lanley refused, on the ground that the bill is not yet fully prepared. It was intend- ed to have a meeting on Friday to hear the result of the interview but under these circumstances, it is doubtful whether the meeting will take place.
