Instead of the General being the hero of the various nghts which fame has trumpeted forth as having terminated to his advantage, i' appears that he is in a dilemma. There seems to have been a victory, it is quite true, as reported at Burgos, by the nying Lieu- tenant-Co!one!; the only and very slight diu'erencebeingthatitwasonthe wrong side <or the Christines—in other words, the troops of Don Cartos were the victors; the Isle of Dog me.t were routed and discomfited 1,500 were wounded 600 were kiHed and 500 taken pri- soners. This statement is according to the tatestarrivats, and thus ends the "strangeeventful history." Thereisbutonethi))o-conso!atoryiu the business fur the brave companions in arms of the Westminster Genera), viz.—that the poor wretches who cou!d not run fast enough, and were thus captured, have been kindly treated by theCar!i.sts. The story of their having been shot, by the orders of DonCartos, is a base invention they were treated we! and the cir- culation of the calumny has been the "Liberal'' return which the General's friends have made. The present situation of Spain is one of in- finite distress and di<ncu)ty—nd there is no prospect of its amendment. Lord Pahnerston's handy work is manifest in the condition to which that country has been brought; iiuthis Lordship is not gifted with any very great decree of pene- tration or ftcjing: and therefore it M likely can neither see nor grieve at the mischief he has wrought. MrAbernethy'srecipe for making a surnfon seems to be with a slight addition equally applicable to the formation of operators in another !ine. A good surgeon"—said Mr Abernethy, "should have no heart. And Lord Pat'nerston proves to a demonstration that a minister should have neither heart nor head. It is to that bright luminary in the military horizon, General Evans, however, that the atten- tion of those who regard the situation of Spain is i,t present directed. It IS well known that Ire promised his constituents that he would make an early return, and it cannot in justice be de- niedthathehas taken every precaution to t-nsure a.sa/i? as well as an earty return, so far as persona! care and consideration go. There was one thing included in h:s promise which it rijiglit have been as we)) to have left out. which was that before he camc back he would drive aU the Carets into the sea, and render the Throne ot Spain as secure to the Queen; as her Majesty's own I)eart coul(i wish.

81amOrganSShíre. GLAMORGANSHIRE AGRtCtJLTURAL SHOW. This highly interesting show took place on Tues- day last, at Cowbridge, as announced in the adver- tisements which have appeared in the CMO?o/t, and we were much gratincd to perceive that not only was there a full and higbty respectable attendance, but that the show in itself was worthy the patronage tt received. The stock exhibited gcneraDy were cre- ditable to the owners and to the county at large; but in no department was the improvement more strongly devetoped than in that of the sheep. There were several pens of sheep which received very genera! approbation, and, where all were excellent, tt must have been dimcult for the judge, appointed for the occasion, to make his selection. From the list wo subjoin it will be seen who were the successful competitors; but there were others whose stock elicited the praises of the most competent judges; and amongst them was a pen of ten yearling aethers belonging to Mr William Jones, of Cardie. We heard the judge, Mr Walker, pro. nounce it as his opinion, that in no county had the improvement in the breed of sheep been so great as in Glamorganshire, and that since the period when he before filled the same omce at the Glamorganshire Agricultural S.)ow, only two years since, this im- provement had much to his surprise and gratification taken place. The cattle of the Glamorgan breed, the improvement of which has been so much studied by Messrs Edward and Christopher Bradlcy, fully prove that they can be made equal to that of any county, and there is litttc doubt (if any) that in the course of a very few years, Glamorganshire will have to boast a breed of cattle and sheep that will yield to none in the Kingdom. Care and attention only are required to accomplish this desirable end, and where the leading practical Agriculturists of the county unite in a generous spirit of emulation, and a deter- mination to raise the Agricultural character of their county, there can be little chance of an ultimate failure. Amidst the general depression of the Agricultural interests which is now, un- happHy, so severely felt by all classes of far- mers; the efforts made by them to advance the qualities of their stock are highly creditable, and deserve the warmest support. It is but justice to observe also that in Glamorgan that support is fully given. The gentlemen of the county unite to give it with no niggard hand; and, by mixing with theu- tenantry, enquiring into their wants, and bestowing their countenance upon their laudable ex- ertions, prove themselves the true friends of the indus- trious farmer, and the contentment of the practical agriculturists under the disadvantages which oppress them, is the best proof of the manner in which they appreciate the kind intentions of their landlords. The stock having been exhibited and examined by the Judge, the company assembled at the ordinary, provided by Mr and Mrs Ballard, of the Bear Inn, in their usual excellent style. The cloth having been withdrawn, The Chairman, the Honourable W. Booth Grey, rose to propose a toast which he was sure would meet the approbation of every one who was a weM-wisher to the Glamorganshire Agricultural Society, and he was also certain that every friend to that ftistitutioli would, like himself, be hfghly gratined to see such a numerous and respectable assembly as he then ad- dressed, met to witness the exhibition of the day. He would propose Prosperity to the Glamorgan- shire Agricultural Institution'—(applause) and he hoped, as indeed he was sure, it would be drunk m a bumper, with three times three.—The toast was drunk amidst much apptause. The Chairman then gave-" The Lord. Lieutenant.' Drunk with three times three. "Live and let live"—Drunk with applause; after which, The Chairman rose to request the attention of the company to the Secretary, (Mr Bradtey) who would read to them the names of the successful candidates, and the premiums which had been awarded to them. Mr Bradley then proceeded to read as follows :— CLASS GLAMORGAN BREED. To the person who s?all show the best bull, cow, and calf (being their progeny) the property of the same owner—Edward and Christopher Bradley, tio.

The best two-years-o!d I)eiter—Mr .Wood, of Ash Hall, £,!), Mr Ev:ins of Fairwater, objected to Mr Wood re- ceiving this prize, as he (Mr Wood) had exhibited his heifer in two classes, which by the rutes of the Society he (Mr Evans) contended he had no right to do. Mr Wood contended that he had a right to the premium; but the Chairman said that if the objection on the part of the exhibitor (Mr Evans) were persisted in, the question must be adjourned to the ncx.t No- vember meeting. It was irrcgutar to have anv dis- cussion in that p!ace, and the question could not, in fact, be decided there it must be referred to the 'November meeting. MrEvansappeaicdtothe Judge to know which heifer was the second best, and the Judge snid that it was a Hereford, No. G, which was that Mr Evans had shewn. The question was then adjourned to the November meeting. MrBradieythenwenton— For the best year!ing heifer—Rev. John Edwards, X3. The best pair of two-years oidsteers—Mr Phiipotts, The best pair of yearling steers—Mr Wood, f3. The best fa.t ox-Mr Skyrmc, of Sp)utt, X5. The best fat cow—E. aud C. Bradiey, ?5. SHEEP.

The best three-years-old horse or mare, for the general purposes of husbandry—Thomas Thomas, Tydraw, t5. The best three-years-old horse or mare, for hunting or coach purposes—Mr John Sands, £5. the Chairman then said that the thanks of the Society were due to Mr Walker for the impartial and able manner in which he had discharged the du ies he came there to perform. Mr Walker said that he was very grateful to the Society for the kind expression of its feeling towards turn. He could say, and with truth, that when he came there he knew nobody, and cou]d, therefore, have no inclination in favour of any individual. He had done his duty to the best of his ability, and with fairness. He again thinked the Meeting for the com- pliment which had been paid him, and begged to drink all their very good healths. The Chairman said that he rose with much pleasure to propose a toast that would be received with glad- ness by every one then present. M was the health of their excellent Vice President, Mr Morgan." (Immense applause.) He cou'd say that there was no gentleman of the county \\ho had the interests of the Agricultural Society, or of the agricu)turists generally more sincerely at heart than he had, and he was confident that that was known to every person who heard him. (Applause.) fie would therefore give the health of Mr Morgan, and lie need not add that it should be drunk with three times three. Mr Morgan begged to return his sincere thanks to the President and gentlemen for the kind and nattering manner in which they had drunk bis health. Being much attached to agricultural pursuits, it was doubly gratifying to him to see the number that bad attended there that day. The Society had improved every year, and there was every prospect that it would con- tinue to do so. The stock of the Glamorgan breed would, he was sure, become equal to any. It was an institution to which he should always feet happy in giving his best support. (Applause.) He begged to drink the health of the excellent President, the Hon. W. B. Grey, with three times three. (Much applause.) The President returned thanks. He begged to ex- press his extreme gratification at the manner in which his health had been given by the Vice-Presidcnt, and that iu which it had been received by the gentlemen he addressed. It was impossible not to agree with what the Vice-president had said, with reference to toe stock of the Glamorgan breed. With reference to the shew of that day, the awards given by the Judge would give the highest satisfaction; and as regards the Giamorgan breed, there was much grati- fication in knowing that the opinion of their scicntiftc Judge had been expressed in its favour in two dif- ferent instances. He repeated that the shew of that day had been most satisfactory, as regarded stock. Messrs E. and C. Bradiey stood at the head of the )ist. They bad made great exertions to improve the breed of this county, and he thanked them for doing so. He conceived they were entitled to the thanks of the Society. For hispart he compiimented them with the greatest sincerity. Thev had proved that the cattte of Glamorgan could be made equal to compete with any in the Kingdom. Wishing success to the Messrs Bradtey, to the GtRmorganshire cattle, and to the Agricultural Society, he begged leave to drink a]I their very good healths—and he would also, with their leave, propose the health of their enterprising and active Secretary—who he hoped for the sake of the Society wou)d long remain so. He proposed his health with three-timcs-three. Mr Bradley rose and said, that he was extremely grateful for the high honor done him, and the natter- ing compliments which had been paid him. He only regretted that he could not express hatf his footings on the occasion. He had attempted to improve upon the breed of the native cattle of this county, and not without some success. For this purpose be had shewn in competition with others, he had been rewarded, and thus was encouraged to proceed. He felt happy in the opportunity of complimenting Mr Walker their excellent Judge, for his skill and impartiality—he felt quite certain, that there was not a better Judge in the Kingdom. Mr Walker had complimented him upon his heifer. He would shew again next year, and he would, so far as be was able, improve the Welsh blood. (Applause.) He was quite sure that under the encouragement of this Society much would he done. (Applause.) Toast.—Prosperity to the union of Agriculture and Commerce in the county of Glamorgan. Mr Morgan rose to propose the health of an indi- vidual, whose name it was only necessary to mention, to make the heart of every one present respond to tue feelings which warmed his own, when he men- tioned it. The Gentleman he alluded to, could not unfortunately enter into the occupation of an Agri- culturist as much as he could wish, or as much as would be advantageous to the county, but he was sure, that, though he could not take an active part in the practical duties of an Agriculturist, his heart was always with them, and his best efforts were al- ways exerted for their interests. No man had the welfare of the county more at heart than the gentle- man he was about to propose—Mr J. Nicholl. (Tre- mendous Ipplause.) Drunk with three times three. Mr Nicholl said, "Mr President and Gentlemen, I beg most sincerely to thank you for the kind, the very kind manner in which you have drank my health. Although unable to take any active part in Agricul- tural pursuits, there is nothing that can give me greater pleasure than to witness the prosperity of a Society having for its object the promotion of the interests of the Agricultural classes. There arc none who take a warmer interest in the prosperity of this county, both Agricultural and Commercial, than my- spH, and, although my occupations now debar me from joining in the pursuits of the former myself, the time will come, I hope, when I shall be able to mix with you as one of yourselves. (Great applause.) He re- peated, with the utmost sincerity that he cherished a wish to become one of themselves, and to mix with them, as a practical Agriculturist, in the Vale of Gla- morganshire. (Applause.) If there were no other wish, the very kind manner in which they had upon all occasions received him and drank his health, would be sumcient to induce him to desire to be amongst thorn. He would drink to all their very good healths. The Rev. Robert Knight rose, with permission of the President, to propose a toast. He would give the health of a gentleman whose name would be re- ceived with pleasure, and lie regretted that he was not present. The gentleman he meant was connected with Agriculture and Commerce; he had lately be- come connected with a Bank establishment in this county which promised to be of great utility. He was well known as an Agriculturist, and was often selected as a superior Judge of Stock. Most of the gentlemen present must have seen his name lately pabiisheri as a Jitdge appointed at the recent Show at Bnsto). They could not do less than drink his health as a practical farmer. He wou]d give the health of Evan David, of Radvr, and the practical Agriculturists of Glamorganshire, and better times to them. (Applause.) Drunk with three times three. r ''burned thanks. Mr N ¡<:I 10]] rose to propose the health of the Hon. Mrs Grey, and the Ladies of Glamorganshire. What- ever doubt mis'ht exist about the importance and the comparative merits of the Gjamorganshire breed of catttc, no one cou'd doubt that the Ladies of Glamor- ganshire were the finest in the wo.-ld. (Applause.) Drunk with t)iree-times-t!)ree. The President returned ttmnks. He was sure that Mrs Grey and the Ltdies of Glamorganshire would glory in being- present to witness the enurts uf so cxceHent a society, which represented the real in- terests ot the county. The health of Capt. Entwisic, was then drunk with three-times-three for Honest Hugh." Toast—" The successful competitors." ? the Rev. Mr Knight observed the &crclary would understand that ¡¿úiy, Y. Mr Bradiey returned thanks. Toast-" The unsuccessful Competitors." Mr Walker (the Judge) would say—" better luck to them next time." The President said that while he viewed the pros- perity of the Agricultural Society in this county, it was also a gratification to know that such societies werenounsmnge)sewhere. He would propose the health of Mr Pigott, not as a relative of Mrs Grey, but as a warm friend of Agriculture. Mr Pigott re- sided in Buckinghamshire, where they had established an Agricultural Society, perhaps, he might add, from what they had heard had been done in the county of Glamorgan. That Society was in a prosperous con- dition, and it could not be otherwise than pleasing to Agriculturists to know that their brethren are doing we!). (Applause.) Mr Pigott's health was very cor- dially drunk, with three-times-three, Mr Pigott returned thanks in an extremely neat and appropriate speech, and begged leave, with per- mission of the Chairman, to drink—"May the Agri- cu!turists of England work together." (Applause.) Toast. The Glamorganshire Militia." Captain Howells returned thanks. Thc'Rev.R. Knight proposed the health of Sir Thomas Aubrey, ;uid the absent members of the Society. The Chairman returned thanks. He had only parted with'Sir Thomas the day before, and his last words were expressive of his regret that he could not be with them. Sir Thomas was a Glamorganshire man to the back-bone, and deserved the compliment they had paid him. One Baronet reminded him of another—one who lived much more with them —whose merits they derived advantage from. He meant the Baronet ofTredegar, (great applause)—" Sir Charles Morgan, and long may he live to benefit his country." Drank with three times three Mr Walker would, with permission of the President propose the health of the Hon. Robert Clivc,, as being a gentleman who resided in his (Mr W's.) countv (Worcestershire), and one who would, the more lie became known, be the more respected. (Applause.) Mr Evans, of Fail-water, as a tenant of Mr dive's, would say that the toast should be drunk with three times three. (Applause) The Rev. Mr Knight said, that as the healths of their present friends had been drunk, he would give the health of one of the oldest Members of the So- ciety, who was absent. He meant, Popkin Tra- hcrne—Drunk with three times three. Mr Traherne would return thanks, he did not know. an honester man in the world, than Popkin Trahcrne. Mr L'ewellyn Trahernc, of St. Hiiary, would give Mr Jenkins, of Danharan, the Old Squire-Drunk with three times three. The Rev. Owen Jenkins returned thanks. The President proposed the health of the father of the Agriculturists of the County of Glamorgan. John Bradiey, of Cardiff-Drunk with three times three. Mr Bradley (Secretary) returned thanks. Song by C?pt. Savours. Song by Mr Richard Williams ?D? B?cA.? The Rev. R. Knight proposed in a very neat speech the health of Sir John Nicholl, Bart." (Very great apptause.) Mr Wm. Jones, of Cardin, would add, with per- mission of the Chairman, with three times three. Drank accordingly. Mr Nichol], NI.P. felt deeply on behalf of the vene- rable relative whose health they had so kindly drunk. That individual had always felt a strong aQection for this county, and whatever success he might have met with elsewhere, he always turned with fond remem- brance to Even w\v, ill his time of tife, his greatest pleasure and best-toved retaxation was the pursuit of agriculture m this county—a'td to do what good he could for it, and in it. (Great ap- ptause.) Song-Mr Bradtev. Mr Bradley proposed the health of Mr Franklen— Drunk wirh three times three. Mr Franklen returned thanks in an appropriate speech. Toast—" Old England." Ditto—" To our Next Meeting." The company separated at an earty Jtour, the day having been spent in a most agreeable and harmonious manner. GLAMORGAN "AND MONMOUTHSHIRE HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY. The fourth and last show for the season, took place at the Town Hatt, Cardiff, on Wednesday last. The Committee previousty met and the Hon. W. B. Grey, President of the Society took the Chair on the oc- casion. Richard Reece, Esq., the Honorary Secretary from the establishment of the Society in 1828, having stated to the Committee, that finding the duties of the Omce occupied more of his time that be could conveniently devote to the Society, he was retuctantty obhged to decline the OeSce, and William Head Deacon, Esq., having kindty assented to accept such Om<-e. the latter Gentleman was unanimously ap- pointed Honorary Secretary, and the cordial thanks of tiie Meeting were given Mr Reece for the energy, activitv, and ability displayed by him in his gratuitous services for so long a period.

CARDIFF SCHOOL.—The 20th annual meeting of the subscribers was holden, at the Committee- room, on Monday last, on which occasion it was ex- pected that the Lord Bishop of Landaff would have presided, but we regretted to find his Lordship, from indisposition, was unable to attend, a letter to such effect having been received by the Rev. Thomas Stacey, and announced to the meeting by Thomas Bates Rous, Esq. one of the Vice-presidents, who was called to the chair. The report of the Committee for the past year haying been read by M. Stacey, and ordered to be printed for general circulation, the Com- mittees for the ensuing- year were appointed, and several resolutions entered into, amongst which we were happy tq .notice the determination of the Com- mittee to establish Sunday Schools, both for boys and girls, in connection with the institution; and the Committee were empowered to draw up ruk-s and re- gulations for thcmanagemcntof the Sunday Schools— to provide a master, fit up such rooms in the Society's house as might be thought requisite for the purpose, with tables and benches, and to furnish necessary y books for the use of the children. The business of the meeting having been mushed, an unanimous vote of thanks was passed to the Chan-man for presiding at the meeting, and for his achve services on all occa- sions in aid of the Charity, rhj Subscribers then pro- ceeded to the school-room, where an examination of the children took place. Amongst the visitors present we observed Ladv Dnntze, Mrs and Miss Rous, Mrs and Miss Co!es, Mrs and Miss Staeey, Mrs II. Morgan Mrs Lewis, Miss Blosse, Miss Woodford Miss Davies; T. B. Rous, H. S. Biosso, James Lewis, W. Prichard, C. C. Wuhams, It. Morgan, E. P. Richards, Esqrs.; the Rev. R Pnchard, James Coles James Evans, Hugh Withams, and Thomas Staeey and Messrs Fain-lough, Bird, Knox, Lloyd, &c.&e.— (T,i-gm a Correspondelit.) CAKDHF FAtR.—At this fair, on the 19th, the shew of cattle was ncar]y as great as usual; but of sheep and horses a short supply. Cattle were re- markabtv poor in condition, from the great scarcity of grass. Very few good oxen, and scarcely any fat stock were exhibited. Fhere was no demand for storers, and sales could only be eneeted at ruinously low prices. Fat sheep would have brought about 6d and beef5d. a-pound, but few were oSered for sale. We perceive by the aHeration in the adver- tisement for the General Ordination, that the Bishop of LIandan' has, with his usual consideration changed the day to the 18th of October. The regard for public convenience thus mamfested cannot fail to be appreciated. GLAMORGANSHIRE CANAL. A most numerous meeting of the proprietors freighters, and landed proprietors, of the adjoining districts met, on the 19th instant, at the Bridgewater Arms, for the purpose of explaining to the parties interested the actual state of the concerns of the above important Company, and the intention of the pro- prietors as to the future accommodation to the public. Nothing could be more satisfactory than the liberal spirit of conciliation which was displayed, and the sensible manner in which that spirit was met by the freighters. The meeting was of a preliminary nature and a second is shortly to be held, for the purpose of maturing the arrangements. Mr Crawshay was in the chair, and read to the meeting a very luminous and able exposition of the affairs and prospects of the Canal Company, as they bore upon the interests of the freighters and on the county at large. Among those present were, Messrs Thompson, M.P. Guest M.P. BIakemore, Booker, R. Hit], A. Hill, Geo. Thomas, \V. Crawshay, junior, Comn, Bruce, Fotuero-iH' Moggridge.T. Powe)I Mcyrick, W.

SWANSEA.-HYDROPHOB.A.-Within the last day or twc, a dog in a rabid state passed through the town, biting several dogs in Ins way. The Portreeve (C. R. Jones, Esq.) has therefore, very properly, issued notices that all dogs found at large, unmuzzled will be destroyed, and requesting all persons whose do-,s arc known or suspected to have been bitten immediately to destroy the same. MERTHYR POLICE. (Before J. B. BaucE and W. TucMAs, Esqrs.) SEPT. 28.—John Davies, Charles Evans, and Wm Evans, nremen, Penydarran, were fined the costs ibr an assault upon David Jones, engine tender. Wm. Riley was convicted under the Vagrant Act for wilfully exposing his person in a public place, with intent to insult Etmor Lewis and others, and was sent for one calendar month to hard labour in the House of Correction. Edward and Margaret Matthews, Elizabeth Willi- ams, John Jones, and Florentio Frederic (an Italian) were fined 8s. 6d. and costs, for an assault upon Mary Jones. John Thomas, a chimney-sweep, was committed to CardiCF Gaol on a charge of breaking into the dwell- ing-house of John Isaac, at Pontstorebouse, and stealing a watch and money therefrom. SEpr. 83.—William Thomas, founder, Dowlais, was nned Is. and costs for a trespass on the premises of Thomas Evans, shopkeeper. Richard Hudson, a boy, was 6ned Is. and costs for throwing a stone at Thomas James. Evan and John Rees, brothers, Dowlais, were fined Is. each and costs, for aH assault upon Henry Harris, puddier. Thomas Price, blacksmith, Dowlais, was ordered to pay 3s. 6d. a-week to the support of his sick wife, from whom he is separated, and in default of payment to be committed for leaving her chargeable to the parish of Merthyr. Four colliers, in the employ of Rosscr Thomas, of Geiligaer, were summoned for leaving their work without legal notice.—These men, and 32 others, had acted from a misconception, supposing that they had a right to discontinue working tiU certain weights, which they believed incorrect, had been adjusted. The Magistrates informed them, that if their em- plover used illegal weights, he was subject to severe and heavy pena!ties, and it was open to any person to tnform against him—tt all events they were at liberty to leave his employ on giving him a month's notice; and if, at the settlement of account, they could prove that they had not beet paid their fuU amount of work, the magistrates would summon their employer, and see that justice was done. The men agreed to satisfy Rosser Thomas for the loss he had sustained from the interruption of his work, and we trust that in future they will apply to the Magis- trates of their district, without making themselves both jud ge and jury in their own causes. There were two sides interested in this question; and there have been several cases, where upon an adjustment of weights, the previous loss had Men, not upon the workmen, but upon their employer. SEpr. M.—Susan Howard was fined Sa. 6d. and costs for a misdemeanour in the service of Mr J. Rhys, AbcrdaM, and for leaving her place without legal notice. The Magistrate informed her that she was liable to be committed for one month to the House of Correction, but that be had chosen the milder course at the request of her master. Leah Morris, wife of Benjamin Morris, cinder SHer, Plymouth Works, was fined 3d damages, and 10s. penalty, for stealing potatoes from the ground of Evan Evans, mine burner; and, in default of pay- ment, ordered to be committed for one month to the House of Correction.—During the examination, the party accused amused herself by pinching her child, so as to make it cry and create confusion. She was observed doing h by many peraotM present. She also pretended to fall into a nt. We never witueneda more gross impostor. The above Benjamin Morris was also lined 2s. for profanely cursing and swearing in the Magistrates' room. [We have been told that certain conviction* have not been noticed by us, and especially one for drunk- tttKW In the last week. If we were to insert every case coming before the Merthyr Magistrates, the whole paper would be <Hled—our Reporter is some- times engaged elsewhere, and we cannot answer for the insertion of every case.

fttonmoutl\Øl\ítt. CAERLEON.—The fair, on Monday last, was one of the largest seen here for some years past. Sheep sold well, and colts (suckers) obtained good prices and were sold in large numbers. As the fairs he!d here have always been notorious, from their being the resort of thieves and vagabonds, it would have been remarkable if the present had passed with- out such characters having been detected. A farmer. like looking man was committed to gaol for having brought a couple of fine horses to the fair, from Herefordshire, which belonged to his neighbour; and although the animals worth about XSO each, the thief had the impudence to oner them for sale at half their value.—("From a Cwrespondent.) CAUTtON.—A chitd about two yeara of ae, the son of Mr James Watkins, malster, near Skenfrith, was playing, on Monday last, close io the heels of his father's horse as it stood grazing near the house, when the animal, although a very quiet one, on being struck by the little fellow, kinked at him, and the iron shoe, coming in contact with his forehead, broke the skutt, and innicted such a wound as to occasion to his parents the most distressing fears of losing a fa- vourite child. FEAT EXTRAORDINARY.—The man who the week before, at Chepstow, undertook to walk seven mi!esiu an hour and failed to do it, by being one minute over time, fully redeemed his credit on Monday last n Monmouth, by doing fourteen miles in two hours. A mile of ground being previously measured, he started at one o'clock in the day, from the Shire Hal!, m the centre of the town, to a given point, a short distance beyond the turnpike leading to Ross, return- ing past the Halt, and continuing straight on in the opposite direction, to the lamp post over Monnow Bridge. This distance be traversed to and fro, at such a swinging pace, that he accomplished his walking task four minutes before three o'clock, having com- pleted the fourteen miles in one hour and fifty-six minutes. He offered to run eleven miles in an hour. HoRSE STEALERS.—Iu the night of Sunday last, three horses were stolen from-, in the county of Hereford; one of them belonging to a Mrs Brown, the other two to a Mr Watkins (a near neighbour), information of which was given in Monmouth on Monday morning. It was there ascertained that some suspicious characters, with horses, had gone through one of the gates, in the night, in their way to Caerleon fair on the Monday. Thither Watkins the owner of one of the horses, immediately went, and succeeded in recovering two of the lost horses, ami apprehending a young feHow of the name of Nast), who had them for sale. On interrogating him. he disclosed the fact that his brother had disposed of a horse to Mr Prothero, sotieitor, of Newport, who, on its being identified, has since given it up. It appears there were three brothers, named Nash, concerned in this affair, two of whom contrived to elude being ap- prehended at Caerleon. Fuller, the active police omcer of this town, (Monmouth) becomingacquainted with these particu!ars, and ?HOM? J<"M??' of the fami)y of the Nashes, (who number, we understand, eight brothers) set off on Tuesday morning in the di. rection of their homes, in Herefordshire,thinking it most likelytbe two who had decamped might take refuge that way. At a public-house, called the Royal Oak, about a mile only from Monmouth, be, rather unex- pectedly met with them, and took them into custody. But as he was proceeding into town with one on either hand, linked by handkerchiefs to his own wrists, the gaol just then in sight, one of them made a spring to get over a hedge, which Fuller's activity and courage prevented, in spite of a heavy Mow from the other, who effected his own escape. Having on a search of their pockets when he apprehended them, found two X5 notes and some silver <n the possession I of the one who tried to get from him over the hedge; I Fuller would not loose his bold of him unit he placed him in security. It is a singular fact, that when Fuller went off again, as he did on horseback, in quest of the runaway, that he met -with a fourth brother (at a fifth brother's house) in the parish of Skenfrith, six nules from Monmouth, who had absconded about two months back to avoid a prosecution for stealing fowls,fromaMrProsser, of Be)mount, near Here- ford. This fellow bad the pleasure of being walked to Monmouth gaol by FuHer; whose expedient to prevent his getting away as he rode along, side him, was rather a ludicrous one; he cut a breach through the waistband, down in the binder part of the fellow's inexpressibles, winch obliged him to hold them up with both hands that they might not drop about his heels: thus effectually securing hands and Jegs, Three of this family are now in Monmouth county prison.

The attendance on the Course on Wednesday (the 1st day) in consequence of the unfavourable state of the weather in the morning, was not so great as on former occasions.

The general harvest had been earlier than usual; and the mountain farmers, many of whom had cut their corn on the 7th, were surprized by the rain of Tuesday the 8th, since which (till Thursday last) they have not had IS hours without heavy ahowers. How fortunate for the country at large, that the great bulk of the harvest has been so seasonably and so successfully secured On Thursday night there was a sharp frost (not merely a hoar frost) and yesterday morning the grass was actually crisi) under the feet. On Tuesday last. Robert Padneld, a cottier from the neighbourhood of Bristol, was fully com- mitted to Brecon County Gaol, for trial at the next Assizes, charged on the oaths of Mr R. F. Marsdpn of Weinlygen, and others, with having, on the l&th instant, burgtariously broken and entered the shop of the said Mr Marsden, and stolen a number of si!k handkerchiefs and other articles.

To THE EDITOR OF THE GAZETTE…
To THE EDITOR OF THE GAZETTE & GUARDIAN. StR,—The show of Stock at this place to day was very good, and well attended by the Gentry of the County. The improvement of late years in th breed of cattle in this County is now most eonspi( 110m. The narrow-minded policy of confining the premiums of the society to one breed, having by the exerttons of some of the members been partially exploded a few years ago? the bene?cial effects of that change now bc?iii to be developed. ° ?o"' It is much to be regretted that some better arrange-! ment is not effected for exhibiting the stock at this respectable show, and affording the judge an oppoi-tti" nity of deciding their merits without the interference of the owners. This is a point of much important and the society should use every exertion to obtain? to ensure an impartial award of the prizes—they owe it to the public. It has been truly said that a Judge should not only be just, but, as Cæ;ar said of his wife should be beyond suspicion. I noticed it is true some attempt this year to extricate the cattte -u.d the judge from the crowd which usually surrounded them, by placing the animals between two rai's for his inspection, (a poor expedient, let me add for i. society possessing .g'1000 stock, and offering 6e:?oo, a year in premiums,) but it was of little use for the owners of the stock, their agents, and friends still crowded around them, advocating the merits of their animals without the least restraint, which reflects great discredit on the proceeding of the society. I willingly give the judge credit for good inteu? tions; but few of us are proof against the innrm- ity of our nature; besides we are taught to have our minds at all times well stored with gratitude. To be appointed judge of so respectable a society is not only a post of honor, but in this County a most valuable one in a pecuniary point of view and if, for instance, he should by any chance discover bis nitron for this omce; who, if the latter exhibited any stock would as a matter of course, according to the present system, become known to him as the owner; this t say would place an upright Judge in a most unpleasant situation, for if it would be iust to forget his friend, it would certainly be most ungracious. This contin- gency, hir, may not yet have occurred but hope the society will for the sake of its own reputation a '.d the satisfaction ofthcpublic, guard againstitinfuturc. Besides the mind of an impartial Judge would be greatly relieved, if not only a portion of the o.ner? of the stock but the whole of them were unknown t? him, before his award is made, which might be easily done, by placing a number on each anim?and prevent the owners or their friends from interfering And after all, it must be observed that by the present svs- tern, the judge and canditatcs are entirely at the mer' v Of the ckrk, who attends forthe iiarn eoftlieii-iiiiier.i. t am, Sir, Your humble servant PAIR PLAY.
