At the court held on Saturday last, by Thomas Barton Bowpn, Esquire, one of her Cofil- missioners, for the Relief of Insolvent Debtors, the following prisoners were Iward ill the matters of their several petitions and schedules fiied in the court, and adjudged entitled to their discharge :— Morgan Roes,Richard Morris, Francis nriltan,Allam Newell, David Itees, Samuel Thomas Davies, John Morgan and Thomas Williams. Jolin Morgan, of Wick, was opposed by Mr John Prosser, of IJangunnider, in the county of Brecon, miller. When the insolvent got into the plaintiff's debt, he resided at Sirhowv, in the parish of Llan- gunnider, and kept a public-house and shop. He then removed from Sirhowv to the parish of Landough, in the couutv of Glamorgan, and kept a public-house there. lie afterwards removed to the parish of Wick, in the latter county, and resided on his own farm. The debt was contracted in the early part of last year, and amounted to £ "-50 (is. 4d. When asked for payment, he excused himself on the ground that he had no money, llilving taken to a large job in cutting foun- dations for sonre new furnaces at Ebbw Vale, in share ,I)bW ill with one Butcher Dick, a navigator: that an agree- ment had been drawn between Butcher Dick and himself that the former was to manage the work, and the latter to support the men ertiploved in eating and drinking. Morgan only was to receive the money for this job, by which he exprcted to make some hundreds of pounds. At that time the debt was only £ 21 Gs. 8d. which he said he would discharge the next pay day, as well as an additional order which he then gave for £ 2S 17s. 8d. The pay day is once a month. On the faith of this representation Mr Prosser pve ilim credit, and did not pi ess for the sum already due. On the 12th of April last Mr Prosser cille(I at Morgan s house, who then paid him 30s. for tw\> sacks ofhran and a sack of oats had on the 21st of 1S37, alld ordered the like quantity to be sent ill, which Mr Prosser accordingly sent him on the 15th of April, IS37. On the 28th of April Mr Prosser called upon him expo ting to receive his money. Morgan then said that he had been at Ebbw Vale the day previous, and thought to have met Hopkins the manager to have the work measured and to receive the money for it; that lie thought there was about £ 14!) due to him then; and that lie was disappointed in not meeting Hopkins. Mr pIOsser told him la- must have either cash or a bill. Morgan said he would be sure to have money in a very short time— ns soon as he could meet Hopkins, hut in the meat) .Is soot) 1, Ut ill ill(!. time he would give him a bill. he take it up, Mr Prosser then took his Bill for £ 50, and a further order to a small amount. About the time the Bill became due Morgan's goods were sold by auction, and he could not be found, lie afterwards offered a composition of five shillings in the pound, which Mr Prosser would not accept. In a short time after the Bill was dishonoured Mr Prosser met Morgan at Dowlais, and said ho expected to be paid. Morgan said he should be if he would be quiet, but named no specific time. He said that when the work was measured Butcher Dick received the money duo for it. Mr Prosser told him that if he had a written agreement as he had said, lie could recover the money from the company again. Morgan then said there was no written agreement; that lie had thought there was one, but there was not. The insolvent was adjudged to be entitled to the benefit of the Act, as to all his creditors except Mr Prosser: and as to him when he shall have been in custody at his suit s'rtc calendar months from the date of filiii4 his petition. Mr Samuel Church, of Brecon, and Mr Henry Morgan, of Cardiff, wero the solicitors for the oppos- ing creditor. Morgan Morgans, Isaac Morgan and John Jacobs, were discharged previous to the hearing. --##>#I'#" COMMUTED TO CARDIFF GAOL AND HOUSE OF CORRECTION,—March 5, 1838.

ROLLS COURT.—SATURDAY, MARCH 10. PIUCE V. nENNINGTOV AND OTHERS. Mr Peinberton, just before the risin of 1 he COurt,1 moved for all injunction to restrain the defendants from euttillg down timber. The plaintiff, Mr Price, who was a clergyman, had sold an estate called Tinnick Owen Farm, near Rudrv, in Glamorganshire, to one of the defendants, Moggridge, and had filed a Bill to set aside the contract on tltc ground of fraud. In last July a commission of lunacy was issued against Price, under which he was found a"lunatic. A Bill of reviver was then filed by his committee, praying to have the estate reeonvcyed. All but two of the defendants had put in their answer to this Bill. This day the London solicitors of the plaintiff had received a letter from Cardiff, informing them that the defendants were about to cut dowlI all the timoer upon the estate, ami country papers were sent up, in which the timber was advertised to be sold at Newport on Monday next. It would be in vain to ask for liberty to give notice of this motion, for the timber would be cut down in the interim. Lord Laiigdale said, an ex parte injunction could not be granted Oil 1-11 oil account of the first appearance by the defendants to the original Bill. Mr Peinberton—There could be an affidavit by the town solicitor, that he had received the newspaper containing the advertisement, as also his correspond- put's inforlllaliollthat the sate was to take place, and that he believed it to be true. • Lord Langdale was afraid that wou'd not be suffi- cient evidence for him to act upon. If a supplemental Bill were filed, he then might grant the injunction. Mr Peinberton fearedcould not be filed in time to move his Lordship. Lord Lkiig(l;tle,- I j, c;ises of this soit I west always be at the service of the suitors, at anywhere, or any time. Mr Pemberton said, injunctions had been granted before the Bill was filed in cases of timber threatened to be cut down, and in cases of wards carried away. Lord Langdale could not grant the motion as it at present stood, but gave leave to make the motion on Monday, if a supplemental Bill were filed, and notice sent iiitt) tile cuuiitry tliit night.

Williams, D.D., master of tho fre.e school, president. The members of tiie Society met at 10 o'clock at the Mason's Arms, and proceeded from theuco to the. Church at 11, preceded by the president —the Hev. Davi(I Mor- gan, Vicar of Llancarvan, Rev. John Powe], and E. Ballard, Esq., bailiff of the town, where tho R 'V.

Morgan preached in the Ancient British language, from l'rov. IV. 7- ''Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom, and with all thy getting get understanding." Tiie Rev. Preacher,in explain- ing the nature of the present meeting, ns a patriotic Welshman, spoke eloquently of the Welsh So- cieties as beneficial Institutions in our land. The service was concluded by singing another hvtnn in the same language. The party then pro- ceeded to the Town Hall; but, owing to the great number of persons present, it was difficult to enter for some time. The 11 a 11 was decorated with laurels, and the Bardie Chair was also beautifully ornamented. Amongst the harpers on the table before the Rev. President, was one who greatly attracted the notice of the crowded assembly, a child not nine years ohli with his harp. Aftci- tlje Rev. President had thanked the Rev. D. Morgan, for his excellent sermon, Miss John, "Bronfraitil" (Thrush) sang most sweetly to the gratification of all present. We wei e glad to see Morfvdd Glan Taf; but were disappointed at not hearing the melo- dy of her voice, being disabled by cold to take part ill the of* tlic, We should have been proud of the presence of Eos" (Nightingale.) After the Bards, Mr EViIIl David (feuan lHyfyr Uwch Celli) an Independent preacher, and one of the last year's judges, and Mr Kli Evans (Eli Cwin I for), the present judge, had recited their stanzas, the Rev. President thanked Miss Williams, eldest daughter of the late famed Welsh Bard, Mi- Edward Williams, of Flimstou, the venerable J0]0 Morganwg, for her curious work in decorating the Bardic Cliair for the day. Mr EVAN DAVID then delivered an excellent Welsh speech on the supereminence of Glamorgan, in formerly possessing the most eminent men as war- riors, bards, and public teachers, in being honoured in having the first Christian College^ and being probably the place where the Gospel was first introduced in Great Britain. As this comprehensive speech was so appropriate to the work of the da v it has been translated into English. L)R WILI.IAMS thanked him and Mr J. Reynolds (who fallowed in English) for their warm and suitable addresses. After the Rev. President had road the first suhjoet in English and Welsh, one of the deputed judges of the literary compositions, Mr p- uvalis read |,js and Mr Benjamin Bowen's (MeU(-|VVv Glan Taf) decision, and called the successful euididate bv his feigned name;—thus it was continued throughout the wllole of the sub/eels.

PKESIDENT thanked the harpers and judges, and Mr J. Reynolds, in behalf of the meeting, returned thanks to all friends who gave subjects and prizes and took an interest iu the institution. He also gave notice that it was the intention of the Societv to liold a Gorsedd on the third anniversary which, owing to the Assizes being yearly at the same time, is fixed to be on the 21st of March in future, being one of the regulartimes of holding aGorsedd. (In 1681 a Gorsedd was patronized in the neighbourhood by Sir Richard Bassett, of Old Beaupre, at his own mansion,, which lasted three days) lie also, in behalfof the So- ciety, returned sincere thanks to the highly respected Dr. Williams, for patronizing the Society as President. Before leaving the Hal1, by the proposal of Mr E. Ballard, 3 times 3 cheers were lustily and heartily given to the worthy President and-the Ladies present. r About five ()'Iu(-k tile ri i(.(Il,v party proceeded to the Masons' Arms, where an excellent dinner was pro- vided hv Mrs Howe in the Society's room, which WH previously decorated with laurels and evergreens. The Bardic Chair was placed for the Rev.President at the head of the table, where several clergymen and gentlemen of the town and neighbourhood were pre- sent. Although there was a double row of tables in the room, it was found necessary to provide others for the numerous friends. After the Rev. President had returned thanks, and the cloth had been removed, he expressed his best wishes for the health and prosperity of the Society: and many other national and loyal wishes were very cordially expressed by him and others. Several Welsh and English songs, accom- panied with tilt, harp, were sung by the "Hronfrnith" (1 hrush), and Mr T. Holwrts nnd others. Air Evan David also gave general gratifieatioll by exhibiting his rare and curious old Welsh wooden book, denomi- nated "Cuelhren y Beird," or Stave of tile Bardic Signs, with ancient British characters. These letters were precisely the same as those transcribed by Mont- faucon in his Palaeoggraphia, from a monument which commemorated an event" tiiat had taken place 450 years before Christ. Several gentlemen from the town and neighbour- hood entered their names on the Society's book as new members. Thus terminated the second Anniversary of the Chair of Glamorgan, which far surpassed last year, and exceeded the expectation of all. The subjects of last year were only seven; this year sixteen. Three compositions on an average were received on each subject, many of them very excellent. The party assembled were very numerous and respectable. If the Chair of Glamorgan will yearly thus iucrease, it must be hold in the open air, or Wse a new room must be built in the town of Cowbridge for the purpose. We should be glad if each town in the principality might soon possess a set of rooms for a public library, and for the Society to meet monthly or oftcner. It would greatly promote the cause of true knowledge and morality. Many object at present to unite them- selves, or allow their sons, on the ground of tiie Society being" conllPcted with a tavern." It is to be hoped that the Society of the Chair of Glamorgan, as well as Welsh Societies in general, will not long lie under this accusation, but that attention will be given to the subject by those who are possessed of the means.

MERTHYR. The puddlers have not yet returned to their work at Penydarran, but we have heard several rumours of the probability of their shortly doing so. We hope to learn that this course is adopted uncondi- tionally. As offenders against the law they are not open to any sort of neg-ociation. Let them ifrst coin- ply with its requirements, and their position will be changed. I hen, and not till then, will tliev stand oil a respectable footing. We trust tliev have, by tijis till)(-, seen their error, and that they will both verbally and practically acknowledge it.

WELSH MANUSCRIPTS SOCIETY.-We mentioned lust week that her Majesty the Queen, has lately signified her gracious iiiteiition of becoming patroness ot the Society for the preservation of Welsh Manu- scripts, which there is every reason to hope will flourish under such exalted auspices: and we have now the additional gratification of stating that the Dukes of Newcastle and Sutherland, the Marquess of ButOj Lords Dynevor and Mostyn, Mr Justice Bosan- ffuet, Sir Charles Morgan, with a long list of patriot Welshmen have given liberal donations, and are also subscribers to this truly national object. MONMOUTHSHIRE AssizLls. -,rite, Spring Assizes for the county will commence on Wednesday, the 2Sth inst., before Mr Baron Alderson and Mr Baron Ouerney. APPROACHING MARRIAGE IN HIGH LIFE.—A marriage is on the tapis between lady Augusta Somer- set, second daughter of the Dake of Beaufort, and Mr Gil more. NEW CIILIRCII, ST. PAUL'S, NEWPORT.—There is a debt of t 175 owing 011 the above building, ami there are no means of paying it but by appealing to the public. The ladies of Newport, friends to the Esta- blishment, arc so desirous that the debt should be discharged that they have determined oil getting up a Bazaar, and are sanguine that by this means, with the assistance of subscriptions and contributions, they will be enabled to accomplish the object. Notice will be given when the Bazaar is to take place. STEAM BOAT COLLISION.—O11 Sunday morning the 4th inst.. between the hours of three and four o'clock, a dreadful collision took place between the bri? Emilia, of Bide-ford, and the Leith, steam-ship, near Gravesend. Jt appears that the Emma was coming up tht river with a cargo of iron from Newport, in Wales, and in Long-reach, just rounding the point, in the proper course with a fair wind, the tide being about hdf-flood at tlte time, the crew saw the lights of the steamer on the larboard bow, and the people on board the Leith called out to the crew of the Emma to put their helm a port, which they did at the same moment, however, the steamer, by some mistake, altered her course, and went light into the Emma's bows, stem OU, with a terrific crash, carrying away the bowsprit, cathead, nightheads, springing the fore- mast, and staving in her bows. The brig was ren- dered a complete wreck forward; and the mate, Henry Barrett, in endeavouring to launch the boat, was knocked overboard, but by the assistance of Captain Maine, the master of-tije vessel, and the crew, was saved. A boy was coining up the fore- scuttle at the moment of the collision, and was se- verely wounded. He was subsequently removed to the Dreadnought hospital-ship, where he has since remained. The Emma was compelled to bring up after she was Struck, and it was for some time feared that she would sink, as she was cut down to the water's edge forward. Tne ship, however, came up with the next tide, and is now discharging her cargo off the Tower. She must go into a drv-doek to repair. The steamer, after sending a boat off to the assistance of tile and her crew, proceeded oil her voyage. #### TO THE EDITOR OF TIIE GAZETTE & GUARDIAN. o Sm,-N umerous have been the complaints of late of the delay in the delivery of letters in country places. In my own immediate neighbourhood, viz. Llanelly Iron Works and its vicinity, only a distance of six miles from Abergavenny, and where the population is from 3,000 to 4,000 souls, that complaint is both frequent and common. The speedy and regular delivery of letters is of paramount importance to the tradesman of circum- scribed capital and I would suggest the propriety of the Iron Company, or the inhabitants generally, ap- pointing some person to deliver the letters daily, instead of every one being obliged to send for his own. As it i- every letter is subjects*! u» <a.n extra penny u.,id for weeks are the parties often kept without them. It is to be hoped that some better arrangement will in future be adopted. The tradesmen and others in the neighbour- hood should co-operate, and petition the Postmaster General without delay, on a subject of such importance. I beg, Sir, to remain, Your's very truly, A TRADESMAN OF ABERGAVENNY. Abergavenny, March 12, 1838.

BtETonaittre. Bortouoii OF PlrtECO-Tlic Assessors and Audi- tors for this Borough were chosen 011 the 1st instant. Assessors. — Mr I homas Jones, woolstapler, re-elected. Mr Jnnies Sims, coachtnaker, elected in the stead of David Thomas, Esq. Auditors. Mr Joseph John Esmond, re-clectej. Mr Evan Winston, grocer, elected in the stead of Mr James Siins. FISHGUARD HAKUOUR.—A Bill for the improve- ment of this harbour was obtained ill May last, and by an extraordinary clause, which seems to have escaped the notice of the Government and the House, the limits of this harbour included the port of Wex- ford and a certain point of the Welch coast, thus giving a public company the right of levying tolls on all vessels passing up and down St. George's Channel. Mr P. Thompson, on Monday night last, brought 111 a dli, to repeal the clause relating to the tolls, simply and entirely, which is in fact a virtual repeal of the whole bill, us the improvement of the harbour without the means ef reimbursement by tolls is not to be ex- pected of a Company the proprietors of which have embarked their money as a profitable investment. rhe repeal Bill was opposed by Sir It. PuillijS J. Owen, and Sir James Graham, principally on the ground of tiie injustice done to the sharelwlders, by depriving them of all chance of remuneration, and alleging that tile proper notices having been given by the parties who introduced the Fishguard Harbour Improvement Bill, it was the duty of tiie Government to have resisted the obnoxious clause at the proper time. It was also stated tiiat the Company wou!d be willing to enter i.ito an amicable consideration of the question. The Bill for repealing the clause, by au- thority of which tolls were to be levied, was carried by a large majority; the numbers being for the se- cond reading 1S1 against 2 ); majority 161. It remains, therefore, to be seen what compensa- tion will be made to the Fishguard Harbour Company for the expenses incurred by tlwir bill iiicl wtil, the shareholders will come to Parliament for a new Act altogether, or for such powers as will enable them to levy tolls within better defined and more reasonable limits, than were conceded by the Bill which has, and we think justly, excited the interference of Govern- ment and the jealousy of the shipping interest gene- rally.

RATING, TITHE-RENTS, &c. TO THE EDITOR OF THE GAZETTE AXD GUARDIAN SIR,—Now that the Tithe Commutation Act is coming into operation, and a new valuation, as re- quired by another Ait of Parliament, is being made <>f all rateable property, for the purpose of its being eqnallv rated for the maintenance of the poor, &c., the following extract from the report of a decision in the King's (now Queen's) Bencli^ iu a case (of appeal agaiast a rate) sent up from the Huntingdon Sessions, may not, it is hoped, be unacceptable to such of your readers as are concerned iu making parochial rates an assessments, as pointing out to them the leading principle by which they are to be guided while it may be a means of protection and benefit to church property. Aroc. 29, 1S30. "THE K OW, v. J ODDRELL, CLEIIK." "Mr Justice Park.—After stating the question to be between the farmers and the rector, of the parish of Yelling, as to the proportion in which they ought respectively to be rated to the poor, &e the learned Judge proceeded :—The tithes of the parish having been commuted for a corn rent, the rector uat rated to thcjull extent of all that he was entitled to receive, with the deduction only of what he paid for parochial dues. The farmers were rated at the bom fide amount of the rack rent at which the farms were fet, or were won h to let. Tne great point to be aimcd at in every rate is equality; and whatever the proportion is, in which, according to its true rateable value, any property is rated, that is the proportion in which every other species of property ought tu be rated. "The first thing to be done, therefore, in every rating is, to ascertain what is the rateable value of every property on which the rate is to be imposed, and to see in what proportion of that value the rate is in fact imposed. Iu the case of land, the rateable valee is the nmotint of the annual average or value of the land after every outgoing is paid, and every proper allowance made. "TlIe redor, in objection to the rate, contended that t.ie farmer s profit, beyond his rent and outgoings, ought, in this case, to have been rated, or, which is the sanie tilitiz, that lie (the rector) should have been rated proportionably less, and this objectiul should, in our opinion, haie prevailed (with the sessions), Now it is quite clear, that of tile annual value o profit of the land, a part belongs to the landlord in the shape of rent, and part to the tenant; and whenever a rate is made according to the rack rent, (the usual and most convenient mode,) it is in effect a rate upon a part of the profit only. It must therefore, in the next place, be ascertained what proportion the rent bears to the total annual profit or value, and that will sl., cw in what proportion all other property ought to be rated, If, for instance, the rent is half or one-third of the tot," annual profit, or value of the land, the rate on all other property shoidd be on the half or one- third of its annual value. In this case it is clear there was a portion or share of profit received by the tenantss and upon this there has been no rate. In that respect, therefore, the farmers were assessed in a less proport on of the annual profit or value than the appel- ant (the rector). The sessions were wrong in disallow- ing tins objection. They ought to ascertain the pro- portion wuich the rate on the land hears to its average annual profit or value, and to assess tlie appellant (rccior) for his tithe rent in the same way The rector also objected that he ouglzt to have had tne land-tax and ecclesiastical dues allowed. As to the land-tax, that is always in practice paid in the first instance by the tenants; and whether it is to be deducted or not, in this case, must depend upon the answer to a previous question, namely, whether the tenants deduct it from the rent specified, or not; if tliev do, the landlord pa\s it in effect out of the rent he receives, and the appellant (rector) to be on the same footing, must do the same. In that ease it must not be deducted in making the rate upon him and then they have in effect not been rated upon the specified rents and the land-tax, besides that por- tion of annual profit or value for which the land-tax is paid, but only on a part of the residue after deducting the land-tax. On this supposition the appellant must be rated only on a proportionate part of his profit after deducting the laud-tax. "The ecclesiastical dues ought to be allowed, because they are payable by the appellant in respect of his rectory, the profits of which constitute the only fund out of which they can be paid. "For these reasons the case must be sent back to the sessions, in order that they may amend the rate, acting as nearly in conformity with the principle here laid down, as their means of investigation will admit. A precise and accurate application of the rule is, we are well aware, impracticable." The foregoing extract is so clear that it needs no comment to make it more so: without, therefore, making a single observation upon it, I will merely submit it to the attention of those who are engaged in rating clerical property, leaving it to their good sense and liberality to say whether the principle thus established by the first legal authority of the Realm, is not that upon which they ought to go in making in rn;ikirg their rates; and whether the Clergyman can in fair- ness and justice be rated upon that portion even of his net receipts or profits, out of which he is to find necessaries for himself and family, while the farmer is not rated upon the corresponding portion of his profits, but only upon that share or portion, which he pays to his landlord over and above his own profits and the supply of all his familywants and requirmenls and which share or portion, (1 mean the rent to the land- lord) is, 1 believe, very generally allowed to be but about one third of the whole annual produce of the land: I iin, Sir, yours, &c. Llandaff, March 14, 1S38 JJ, HOUSE OF COMMONS—WEDNESDAY, March ?. DIVISION On Lord Sandon's amendment of Sir William Moles worth's motion:- Huiiibly to represent to her Majesty, tiiat it appears to us, upon a consideration of the documents and correspoudcHce relating to the North American provinces, which her Majesty has been graciously pleased to communicate to this House, that the open defiance of her Nlajestv's lawful authority in the pro- vinces of Upper and Lower Canada, and the necessity of suppressing rebellion by force of arms, and ot sus- pending the constitutional government of Lower Canada, are in a great degree attributable to the want of foresight and energy on the part of her Majesty's confidential servants, and to the ambiguous, dilatory, and irresolute course which they have pursued in re- spect to the affairs of Canada since their appointment to office."

A -,elitleman of property, named Williams, of Brv^ibras Castle, Carnarvonshire, has, together with two of his servants, Ellen Evans, and Ann VVilliams, been examined and remanded at Guildhall Police Office, London, on a charge of having uttered a forgPj vv;j, dec., whereby the propert y of J ones I'.inton, Esq., of Flasgwyn, Anglesey is nearly all bequeathed to the accused parties. The evidence is very strong against the prisoners. The property left by Mr Panton amounts to near ^60,000. On Saturday last they were re-examined for a con- siderable time, with a view of showing the probability of the genuineness of the will giving the bulk of the property to the prosecutor, Mr Barton Pantoti, the son of the testator, the circumstances to show the in- validity of the documents produced by the accused being reserved. Mr Rainsav Williams, of Penrhos, an attorney, identified documents put into his hands as the will and codicil, the latter of which gave tiie bulk of the property to the prosecutor. Mr George Bettis, of Carnarvon, deposed to the testator giving the prosecutor a roll of papers, and saying, Tijt-se are bank receipts for £:?S,OOJ or jf-29,000, and upon tl9,000 or £ 20,000 no dividend has been received since IS27. I give YOU all the money in the house, and in the banks at Hotvhead, Mold, Carnarvon, and Chester; and 1 give you all arrears of reut due, or that may accrue due before IIIV death, from my respective estates; I give you all mv money and caurd shares, and all the securities for money I may have; I give you all my plate, library, household furniture, fixtures, farming stock, atid crops, and all my personalty of every kind. The next time, Mr Bettis, I see you, I will tell you my reason for wishing you to be present 011 this occasion. (Then, addressing his son)-Take care of them all, particu- larly Ann and Missey, as I cannot be with you long." The alleged forged w ill, dated Nov. 6, 1S34, and two codicils, dated 15th October, ]836, and 7th May, 1S37, were put in. The witness deposed that the body of them was in the handwriting of Thomas Williams. lie was not acquainted with the hand- writing of the testator. Mr Biirtori, Pauton gave similar testimony. The prisoners were again remanded for a week. ACCIDENT.-On Satnrday last, as five men and a boy were at work in a shaft at the fire-brick and tile manufactory of Mr J. Howell, Yr-Kfel, near Oswestry, the roof suddenly gave way, and, with a great quantity of clay or cluntch, fell upon them one poor fellow was buried underneath, but was fortunately protected by the roof timber. From the circumstance of the diameter of the pit being so small, and the gallery in which they had been at work being so contracted, not more than one man at a time could work to effect his rescue. By the aid of a pair of smith's bellows, which were lowered and fixed up, and pipes fitted to the nozzle, the sufferer and his deliverers were enabled to live; for previously the miners could remain but a short time only below, and were frequently drawn into the air apparently lifeless. The colliers from Swerney New p Works gave prompt and energetic assistance. The proprietor and Mr Edward Croxon. of frefarclawdd, were on the spot, and stimulated their men to increased exertions, in which they were greatly aided by that fine old Eliglisli gentleman," Sir John Barleycorn. About nine o clock on Suudav night they were successful in restoring the poor fellow to his anxious family, and we are happy to say, although weak from exhaustion, and much bruised, especially his legs, on which the weight rested, he is j likely to do wcll.-Tcn Towns' Messenger, THE KILURNKY FmWTi.E STIVER.P. tor the rebel of the sufferers by tiie wreck o; 1 he KiUar- «ey now amounts to the munificent sum of £ 1390 including ^180 received for tickets for'the perform- ance of sacred music at C iffon Chueh Oil Tuesday ^S, an ^61 9s. 6d. the net profit* of a benefit Friday SIVe" b'* MfS MacreadJ"> at the Theatre ou MOST DESTRUCTIVE Fifti, -I'PPOSLD TO BE THE WORK OF AS INCENDIARy.-On Monday night a most destructive fire broke out in one of Mr barns bleaching works, situate a little below W oolfold, about two miles from Burv. One of the men went round the premises about lialf-past nine o'clock on the same night, to see that all was safe, which was apparently the case, but in less than an hour afterwards the country was alarined b) the fire breaking throngh the windows of the drying- house. Every assistance that circumstances ad- mitted of, was immediately procured, and great numbers of people soon assembled on the spot rendering Hery assistance within their power. The building (which is a stone one) was 20 yards long, betwensixand seven yards wide, three stories high, and stood between the lodges of water and tha rivulet which supplies the" orks; but, not- withstanding the ready suj p'y of water, from the extreme dryness of the timbers, and the combus- tible nature of the materials within the edifice, the fire raged with such uncontrolable fury that, in less than 45 minutes, the whols of the floor-, and the roof fell in with a tremendous crash, and formed one burning mass on the ground fl >or. The heat was so intense that the wall cracked in many places, and portions of the upper part of the stone "ork fell in at intervals, rendering it extremely dangerous to approach the building. There were 350 calico pieces, besides 55 bundles of twist within the building, which were almost entirely consumed. One of the Bury company's fire engines was got to the place as soon as possible, but not before the roof had fallen in. We are sorry to say, that there are grounds for supposing the disaster to have been the work of some incendiary; for it was discovered that further mischief had been intended, all the bleaching liquor having been let out ot one of the iron kiers, containing a large quautiiv of twist in the process of bleaching, and a fire being kindled under the kier, no doebi witÍJ the villainous inten- tion of destroying the property. It wi.0, however fortunately discovered before the twist had become sufficiently dry to do it any material injury. On- of the men's coats was found under another of the kiers, willi botli Ly-irnt otl'. No clue to the perpetrators has yet been obtained.

I with its practical workingcoulcl not bë the hind- lhosl in deprecati; g sptne of the abust s existing t tInder it. Let us pllt the case of the men whom *e Ulentkned last week as having subjected | "Qselves to the infliction of punishment under ««ost salutary law, voluntarily separating tbemselves from their families, and leaving them starve, to be dependent on the bounty of the t ^"Jane and charitable, or to subsist on the fl ^°rs-rates.

Of tlte individuals in question t e know nothing; but similar cases having oc- < tln'ted too often, both in this neighbourhood 1 ,Ilr0USh0l,t England, we are scarcely doing eni any injustice, in supposing tliat such is their present coti(litiott. Here are a set of ahle- odled met, with full work on their hands. A > Qllestion is raised, and they settle it, not by Saying We are dissatisfied, but we will work OUt our month's notice, and then seek employ- 'nellt elsewhere,"—but, We are dissatisfied, anù we will break the law, lloe will not work our Month's notice; we will subject ourselves 0 ^e degrada tion of imprisonment; leave our I j lilies to provide for themselves, and take our [ Many a man has done the same thing y I | fcfore has set the law thus at defiance, and I Senilis turn at the treadmill; and though at ( first sight it may seem !Ian} that the unotrending | ^'fe, and the helpless little ones, slionl^ suffer tither by the Poor Law, or in any other way, f tOr tlte father's follies, yet the father is himself inflicter of these injuries; and in such cases 1t Was absolutely necessary that a more strict and even severe method should be adopted than Under the old law. Are we then the advocates,—the "whole- °8 advocates of the terrors of the new ? By 110 means! least of all of its separation" clause. But, however much we may contend a8»inst the separation of husband and wife, of P^ent and child, as now enforced in the Union | °rkhouses, the labouring man, and the poor Illani take the case out of our hands, and de- I Prive us of our best arguments in their favour, ^hen they mount the coach at eight o'clock in I the morning, as we have seen them, with drunken shouting and swaggering, committing thernselves of their own free will to this very Separation, of which they so loudly complain. The labourer should reflect that the law is an equal protection to himself and his employer. I If the former is forbidden to leave his work ^"hout previous notice given, so is he defended hv the latter being bound to give him previous Notice, before he dispenses with his services; and he has thus time to guard against inCOIJ- Ve"ience. VVe can fairly promise him, that if eVer he comes under the operation of the new I oor Law. he will find more than sufficient hard- Ships, and even miseries, to contend with, with- Out adding thereto, and without himself, for ^Uself, lengthening the period in which he t'lust remain under its operation. And if ever be would obtain a repeal of this or any o her "tatitte, or, as in the case of the new Poor Law, a softening of its harsher provisions, he must te-stify his respect for legal enactments by obe- dience to the law. But, while we thus address a few words of advice to those about us who are so misled, we "vould not forget that, viewed in whatever light it be, the existing Poor Law is one of the foulest blots on British Legislation, that ever became the law of the land. While we caution the poor not to rivet his own chains by his illegal Conduct, we must also expose the iniquities committed under cover of that horrible Act. Within the last few days, at the Chelsea Petty Sessions, A wretched-looking half-famished female crawled into court. She was followed by her daughter, a '•ttle girl of about two years old, whose vvrin and Pallid cheeks evidently bespoke that she was labour- 1119 under the effects of some malady. The child, like its mother, had scarcely a rag to cover its nakedness, alld their appearance excited the sympathy of all Present. The mother, on being placed at the bar to State her case, clung to the iron railing for support; and such was her exhaustion, that she had great difficulty at times in preventing herself falling. The applicant on being questioned, stated as follows :-Before I was seized with the fever, from the effects of which I am now suffering, I was in the habit of going out charing and assisting the domestics °f gentlemen's houses in their work, and 1 also used to do many other little jobs, which enabled mo to live and support my child decently. I have been of late II Vlng in Maidenhead and Castlc-vard, near the Jew's Row, by tho Royal Hospital College. The mistress of the last hovel that I slept in turned me out on warning that I had a fever, lest the other inmates of the pl.,Ce might catch the infection. I applied to Mr ■Newsom, one of the relieving officers of the Kensing- ton Union, and he quite abused me, and said that I j*as so troublesome he would send me to the watch- house. This morning he gave me a ticket for some bread, but in my present weak state I cannot eaf bread. One of til? parochial surgeons said The unfortu- at creature is literlllly dying from starvation and, if immediate relief be not afforded her, I will not an- swer for the consequences. Her condition is of the rnot horrible character. She has not the slightest Support, not the common necessaries of life. She has Ilot even a blanket, or any other bed-furniture to cover her or her infant.' 44 The Chairman expressed his inability, under the New Poor Law Amendment Act, to order the appli- eant to be admitted into the workhouse, in conse- quence of fier not beiiio, a parishioner. Several of the parochial authorities remarked, that in the whole course of their experience they had never witnessed such a glaring instance of tbe utler ^efljcicncy of the present system." 1V e Iad marked one or two other occurrence, for comment, bearing upon the same subject but it is painful to dwell on such horrors. It is, however, satisfactory to know that a motion is to be submitted to the House of Lords by Earl STANHOPE, for "A statement of the pelitillllS presented to Parliament during the lagt session Oil the subject of the New Poor Law Bill, speci- fying the numbers, and the description of per- sons from whom they proceeded-?— whether rate- Payers, guardians, of others, and whether agreed to at public meetings or not." We cordially juiu with a respected contem- porary, in the expression of gratification at Boeing the subject taken up by a nobleman whoge talents, knowledge of the subject, and firmness of character peculiarly fit him for it.
