MERTHYR TYDVIL. AND BRECON, Feb. 15, 1S40. We have again the ungracious task of apolo- gizing for the non-perfonnance of a promise. On the strength of an eugagement with Messrs Vizetelly. of FJeet-Slreet, London, we last week announced our intention of pieseniing our readers to-day with an engraving, representing, the Royal Marriage ceremony- It was to hav. been despatched from London on the I" th j but tn „rf,sS it had not reached up to the hour of going to pre. » us.

Cardiff NIOIV Cliiirc-ii.-We most earnestly direct the attention of every reader who has any interest in the town or 'trade of Cardiff, to the appeal for additional funds to erect the new Church, which appears in our 0tlvertismg co- lumns to tliiy. We are "lad to see that a suggestion WCJ threw out some time since is to be adopted and that periodical subscriptions are to he applied for.

Swansea — Monday last (being her Majesty's wedding day), was observed as a day of rejoic- twelve 0,(.) ng. At twelve o'clock all the shops wereshut, and the principal promenades were soon after densely crowded. The bells kept up a merry peal. At one o'clock a royal salute was fired from the Pier head, under the direction of an officer in the Royal Artillery. About three o'clock the detachment of the 45th regiment marched down to the Burrows square, and fired a Fit de joie, at the conclusion giving three hearty cheers, which were responded to by 1 he multitude with "three times three." The poor of the town were not forgotten, as a liberal sub- sription had been made for the purpose of giving them a plentiful dinner. A procession of Odd Fellows," dressed in full orders, took place near the town. In the evening, the gentle- men of the town and neighbourhood dined at tie Mackworth Arms. The Barracks was the only building illuminated.—(From a Corres- pondent.) TO THE ELECTORS OF GLAMORGAN. Geiiilen)eii,-It is currently reported that Str Josiah Guest and his myrmidons are can- vassing the county, and we shall probably hear in some of (lie ultra Radical papers, of the "Teat success that has attended his canvass. I liave no fear whatever of the result, and that he will be beaten by a milch larger majorify than at the last election, nollnv ithstanding the one or two hundred faggots he and our Radical ,ar ii tile T,Iectors not to be. le I write tbis to '■varn the Electors not to be; led away by falla- cious promises, which all Wiijg Radicals are ever ready to make to gain iheir object. Sir Josiah knows very well he lias not the slightest chance but lie got his baronetcy for the former contest, and, as is the case with all these ambi- tious iqjstarts, he is working for a peerage. Mr Talbot, in his speech after the lasT election, observed, that all ought to be Satisfied Lord A dare, that he was at the head of the poll • Mr falbot, that he was returned and r Ci'iest thai he had 110 chance- The effect of Sir Josiah disturbing the peace of the county, will be that we shall return two Conservatives. A CONSERVATIVE FREEHOLDER. "# MERTH YR. APPEAL IN BEHALF OF ADDITION -L CHURCH ACCOMMODATION FOR MERTHYR TYDVIL [We never inserted any article in this journal with sitch unbounded satisfaction, as the follow ing. 1< rom the lirst day of our residence in this neighbourhood, — from the first week oroiir control over this journal, we have never ceased to enforce, whenever opportunity presented it- self, the absolute necessity of doubling the present amount of Church Room, and of tile Parochial Clergy, in Mepihyr. The experience of every day has confirmed lis in this opinion; and now we present to the public an Appeal, which by tne time onr present number is pub- lished, will probably be travelling to the wealthy Iron Masters connected with this town; and in a few days will also be laid before the whole population of this place. EDITOII.] That very great additional Cllllrch accommo- dation is required for Merthyr Tydvil, is so self-evident a proposition, that it can admit of no dispute. The Population of this town alone, exclusive of Dowlals, may be stated at about thirty thousand souls; while there is Church room provided for not more than twelve hllll. dre(] :-I" other words for but one persoll ont of every tweuty-f,ve. This immense amount of population h.s been congregated in this neighbourhood, not by the ordinary course of in- crease, but by the establishment ami successful prosecution of iron works on a most extensive scale; so that Merthyr, which at the commence- ment of the present century was an unimport- ant village, has now become a densely popu- lated town of very considerable extent; though unhappily, there has been no corresponding il"lrease ill the snpply of its spiritual neces- sities. In other towns where ther. has been an illcrease of population, scarcely to one-tenth the amount ol Merthyr, the Church accommodation has been a ready ooubled. The parishes of Eglwysilan, Bedwellty, the tOWn of Carmarthen, &c., may be mentioned" as instanceswhile in this town there has been no such increase. In shot t, num- bers of places might easily he specified, where the population averages from four to eight thou- 11 sand, such as Brecon, Pembroke, Haverford- west, &c., where yet the Church accomodation is double and treble that of this parish. The present religious state of this immense district, calls loudly for immediate and very strenuous efforts 011 the part of the friends of the Church; for while impiety and ignorance are lamentably prevalent, it is utterly beyond the power of the present small number of minis- ters effectually to stem the progress of evil; or to extend to the masses the benefits of reli- gious instruction. The increase of population has brought with it a proportionate increase in the weekly duties of the parochial clergy and these, together with their more public ministrations on the Sunday, as well as their week evening lectures, press so heavily upon them, that the visning of the sick -a d-ity of such paramount iiiii)orti,ict-is comparatively neglected; to say nothing of that effective superintendence of Sunday'Schools which has always been found to exercise so beneficial an influence 011 those admirable insti- tutions both which duties the present clergy are most anxious to be enabled more effectually to discharge. Another evil attendant on the present lack of Church accommodation, arises from the incon- venient hours at which some of the services are necessarily held 011 the Sundays. If, for iii- stance, Welsh services could be established at eleven in the morning, and six iu the evening, instead of at half past nine in the morning, and three in the afternoon, as at present, the attend ance would doubtless be very much more nume- rous, as well as regular: the latter hours being far more suited to the habits of the Welsh Many of tiiew, iu who wou!4 prefer worship- ing Gall according to the forms of the Esta- blished Church, are now obliged, at the most convenient hours for public worship, to attend the meeting houses of Dissenters. To all this may be added, that nearly every pew in the parish Church is apportioned to several families; and this is found to operate very seriously against obtaining fu 1 congrega- tions for in most cases each single household is sufficiency numerous to occupy a whole pew while many respectable inhabitants have not even part of one assigned to them. And when persons are doubtful of filldillg-the opportunity of attending public worship, they grow into a habit of neglecting it:" so true it is, that <- bundles below the wants of the population are never filled; Churches commensurate with those wants are never empty-" It appears, therefore, .that the lIIost efrectual mode of remedying these evils is, by providing for the erection and endowment of at least one additional Ciiiireli increasing at the same time the number of the parochial clergy, as well as the accommodation for religious instruction and I without which the Established Church must of necessity remain, as at present, very inadequate to the supply of the spiritual wants of the popu- lation. For it must also be remembered, that so long as the inhabitants increase in number, the weekly duties of the clergy are becoming every day more onerous; and that by so much are they prevented from efficiently discharging some of the responsible duties of the ministerial office. The duty of providing for these necessities, in districts like Merthyr, where large wealth is accumulated, and large numbers are congrega- ted for that purpose, it is respectfully urged, devolves, in the first instance, on those who amass the wealth, and bring the people toge- thher; so that, in fact, a delicacy is felt in ap- plying elsewhere for aid towards the erection of a new Church, because, it is believed, the locality itself is well able to supply the existing deficiency. While, therefore, it is ad mil ted that no part of the community can stand absolved from aiding in so pious, and so necessary a work, it is also felt that the example of contributing to- wards the funds for this purpose, must first be set by the more opulent. To them, therefore, this appeal is primarily made; not doubting that the same Almighty Disposer who has blessed them with increase of wealth, will also put it into their hearts to devote a portion of their sub- stance to an .object, in which is contemplated both the glory of God, and the elem d welfare of men. The extent of accommodation to be provided must depend entirely on the amount of snb. scriptions to be received though it is conceived that a Church calculated to contain less Io JO hearers, would not meet th prcssillg exigencies C of the case- It is, therefore, most earnestly hoped that funds may be obtained, in some measure adequate to obviate the spiritual tles- titution of this immense and populous parish.

While we record the festivities and rejoicings in other towns, in celebration of the Royal Marriage, we blush for the Burgesses of Merthyr Tydvil. The Guardian Office Was almost the only place of business closed throughout the day; a few of the shopkeepers following the example about dusk. The plea was, that closing shops looked So IIllleh like afwltral! How very demure the other tonus in the kingdom looked with their closed shops, is evident from die notices of Monday's doings in to-day's paper. There was a dinner at the Castle Inn, which we hope was not really intended in honour of our r rotestant Queen. At eleven o'clock on Satur- t ay nig,it the notices were not printed; but to 1lake up lor lost time, tliev were nos'.ed about ,,?|Wnl °! Sunday Morning!—some of them 0 "'l.

NEWCASTLE EMLYN. Monday last being the day appointed for the celebration of Hei Majesty s marriage it w observed in this town with every demonstration of loyalty. Joy seemed depicted i„ every coun tenauce. Dinners were provided at theCoedmore Arms and Angel Inn at each place a large and respectable company sat down to dine- the healths of her Majesty and Royal consortJike wise the Queen Dowager and all the members of the Royal family were drank with due honours. In the evening there was a general illuminarion, and a display of fire-works, at the old castle, Wiucii addtU rnucli to the festivities of tho day, the Lord bishop 01 Bath and Wells, the Clergy, the officers or the Army and Navy, the Mayor and Cor- poration, the Merchants and Tradesmen, a troop of the Bath and Somerset Yeomanry, the various re- cruiting parties, the Police, and (by far the most portio-i of the procession) an immense- number of children belonging to the numerous Charity schools of the City, with banners bearing appropriate religious inscriptions. When this loyal assembly had perambulated the City, the BATlI CHARTISTS (determined, 1 supposed, not to be out- done in appearance of Loyalty,) mustered on Bea- con Hill, and as the day be^aii to close, marched down ihe Lansdowne Roal) into Bllh, preceded by a band of music. Heintr anxious to ascertain the de- scription of persons forming this assemblage, I sta- tioned myself on Belmont, and >aw ever y individual as they passed down, they walked four deep, and were about 3(1!) men, of the lowest description about the same uumber of women, and about 3d children. A drunken partisan ran alon by them on the upper pavement vaunting their peaceable detneanour, and sweiring most horribly; but the procession were quite orderly. They were hooted by several per- sons (who appeared to be labouring men, chairmen, &c.,) as they passed, aud altogether were as little formidable as can well be conceived; 20 good police men would have overcome the whole, had occasion required it. There was no illumination in the city, the inhabi- tants having made a subscription to the Infirmary instead: but the Roman Catholic establishment at Prior Park was most brilliantly illuminated, and late off a large profusion of skyrockets and other tire works. 'I'lie children of theit- scilools valked in the morning procession with a large banner inscribed long life to the Catholic cliildl'eti's School:" and all persons of this creed, who at Bath are numerous, appeared to anticipate halcyon days, and the advent of a Roman, if not an Augustan age. Your obedient Servant, AN EYE WITNESS. P.S. Much fault was found in that part of the arrangement which brought into close juxta-position the carriage of the Bishop of the Diocese, and Ryan's pyeballed sqnadrou probably both were considered of the equestrian order.

IM P E III AL PAUL IA M E X T. c- HOUSE OF LORDS,—TUESDAY, I"EB 11. Lord MELBOURNE gave notice that, on Friday next, he would move an address to her Majesty. congratulatory on her marriage. Lord KLLLNliOIiOUGll intimated his intention of hereafter moving for various returns regarding the state of our trade with China for the last 1-1 or 13 years. Lord MON l'EAGLE (Spring llice presented peti- I tions from Lambeth, &i: for inquiry into the principles of" Owenism." He availed himself of that opportu- nity to complain of the liishop of Exeter in having blamed the Stamp Office for not stopping the Socialist publications, observing that in the first place the papers were not stamped, and, secondly, that the duty of the Stamp Office merely regarded the collection of tax. The Bishop of EXETER, said that his complaint was against the Government, and not against the officers of the Stamp Oflice. This conversation having dropped, The Bishop of EXETER, asked whether Mr. Pare, the registrar at Birmingham, had resigned, or had been dismissed. The Marquis ofNORMANBY said that Mr Pare complained of having been very much misrepresented but that he had resigned; his Lordship having ex- pressed an opinion that Mr Pare was not a proper per- son to hold office. His Lordship added that he was pursuing inquiries regarding Socialism, in consrquctlce of the documents forwarded by the Bishop of Exeter, the results of which would, in due course, be com- municated to their Lordships. Lord REDESDALE having presented petitions for parochial buildings to be relieved from rates, inquired whether the Government intended to propose any measure on the subject. The Marquis of NORMANBY answered, that the subject would receive, what it well deserved, the serious consideration of the Government. Their Lordships then adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS,—TUESDAY, FEB. 11. Lord J. RUSSELL gave a notice, similar to that of Lord Melbourne, in the Lords, for a congratulatory address to her 'Majesty, on the occasion of her mar- riage with Prince Albert. Petitions were presented for the Repeal of the Corn Laws, the release of Thorogood, the Extension of Church Accommodation, &c. 11 Mr Serjeant TALFOURD brought in his Bill, to Amend tha Law of Copyright." It was read the first time, and ordered to be read a second time on the 10th. Sir E, SUDGEN complained tlwt, on the last division on Friday last (on the question that Stockdale had been guilty of a second breach of privilege), owing to his being unable to get out of the house, he was locked ill, and then compelled to vote with the majority, his opinion being with the minority! Ik- suggested that on such occasions some means of escape" ought to he provided. Sir R. J ENKINS gave notice that he should, on the 25th illstant, submit a motion regarding the sugar duties, as affecting East India produce. The SPEAKER, ill answer to inquity, said that the parties to the Ludlow and Cambridge election petitions, had entered into the requisite recognisances tor the prosecution of the same. > Lord PALMERSTON (in answer to Mr Alderman I hompson s inquiry) stated that he certainly could not declare what were the intentions of the Pacha of Egypt, hut that he had made considerable altt,rations in the arrangements of his sea and laud forces. His Lordship, in answer to other inquiry, said that the papers iegariling Minorco were ready, and would soon be presented. Lord INGESTRE having asked when the report of the Naval and Military Commissioners was likely to be ready, Mi LAUOUCH ERE answered that it was readv. and would he presented almost immediately. Mr T. DUNCOMBE called attention to the peti- tion from Jolln 'I'ilol,ogoo(l. a prisoner in the county gaol of Essex, for non-pavmentof 5s. 6d. church-rate and moved that leave be given to bring in a bill to relieve from payment of church r ites that portion of her Majesty's subjects who conscientously dissent from the rites alld doctrines of the English Church. Lord J. RUSSELL said that he felt bound to oppose the motion, contending that to make partial exception for such as sought not to pay church-rates, on the ground of having "conscientious scruples," would be to lay a snare, or offer a bribe, for evasion of payment. He added, that desiring to put an cn I to unseemly tfissentifwis atul heart-burnings, he was prepared for remedies for existing complaints :—first, to remove church-rate eases liom the jurisdiction of the ecclesiastical to tint of the civil courts; and second, to provide tnat attachment shall only be against the propcrty. not against t:ie person, HUME, Mr BAINES, &c denounced these as ''paltrv," pettiloggin", half-and ha 11 measures The'House eventually divided; Mr p. Dun. combe's motion was negatived bs 02 ayes, and 117- Mr WALLACE moved the appointment of a select committee to inquire into the administration of the law in the Supreme Court of Scotland, with a view to ascertain whether the number of judges may not be diminished. The Lord ADVOCATE contended that the time occupied in court was no criterion of the labours the judges had to undergo out ol court. It was carried by to 111—majority of 17 in its favour. Mr LID I)ELL moved for coj»,uS of the grant of pension to Sir J. Newpoit, and ol the appointment of Lord Mont eagle his successor. Tut: CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER warmlv eulogised the servu.es ol Sir J, Newport, and defended the grant ol pension. After much and interesting discussion the papers were granted, Mr Liddell observing that the explana- tion of the Government 01 the transactions regarding the simultaneous retirement, with a pension, of Sir John Newport. froUl 1,10 "ptrollcrship of the Ex- chequer, and the appom ineut of Lord Monteagle thereto, might have been more satisfactory. Sir E. attention to the state of health of Mr Sheriff Wheelton, his medical attendant being called to that, if IOIler COli. fined, it would render the Sheriff's life uncertain, even for an hour; and the Right Hon. Baronet moved that the Sheriff, in consequence, he discharged out of the custody of the Serjeant at Anns. The motion was agreed to. Mr Labouchero moved the appointment of a Select Committee, of nine members, lor the preliminary investigation of Divorce' Hills, in order to super- sede the examination of witnesses thereon at the bar Mr HUME wished to move, as an amendment' that it is expedient that all questions of divorec- should be inquired into and decided by a "judicial iribunal," and not by the Houses of Parliament He regretted the lateness of the hour which precluded cool and decent (liscussioii but he eventually with- drew the amendment. The motion was agreed to, and the Committee nominated. The House then adjourned. I HOUSE OF COMMONS,—WEDNESDAY, FKB. ]2. MrCorbally took his seat for the county of Meath ^evera petitions were then presented after which, ir SUGDEN gave notice of a quest ion the next r?s!,Pct to the further detention of the mi now in custody, and also that unless the Sheriff was previously fC(ease.j^ |10 would move on Friday nt x ut the order on the Sheriffs of London and Mid- dlesex to pay £OtL> to Messrs Hansard be rescinded 'Ww» W(Te l'ut hy Mr HODGSON and tl rfT' with respect to the Post office and ie tra e to China, to which no precise answers were given.

RE JO ICINGS AT LLANDOVERY ]-it celebration of the Royal Nuptials af Queeji Victoria and Prince Albert. On Monday last, the day on which the Royal Marriage took place, the mayor and corporation and other inhabitants of Llandovery and neigh- bourhood, testified their loyalty to our beloved young Queen upon her marriage, by devoting the day to recreation and rejoicing. The morn ing- was commenced by deeds of benevolence in distributing large quantities of bread and meat among the poor and indigent, under the superintendance of the mayor and vicar, aided by a committee of management who had col- lected funds for the purpose a few days previous. Alllheshops wereshul, busilless was slIspcnded, all seemed desirous of enjoyment. About four o'clock, upwards of 80 met at a public dinner on the occasion, at the Castle Inn; Charles Bishop, Esq., Mayor, in the chair, and I). Lloyd Harries, and John Morgan, Esqrs., croupiers. "Mine host" of the Inn, Mr Powell, evinced his usual good tact in catering for his guests the viands were the best the season could afford, the wines excellent, with prompt, uiyective at- tendance. Several loyal and appropriate toasts were drunk with due honours; many a good speech was enthusiasticlly cheered; and a variety of prime songs were sung with glee; cheerfulness, friendship, and harmony pervaded the whole, A band of music, playing national and lively airs, paraded the to,.vil-jit intervals; the young lads were amusing themselves with firing oil guns, squibs, ef-ackers and sky-rockets, rustic sports, climbing the greasy pole, scramb' ling for pence, &e. &,e,. The whole proceedings of the day passed of with much eclat.

TO CORRESPONDENTS. It is requested that all letters sent to this Office bo pre-paid. Agents and Correspondents will be re- funned. Who, to save a penny for himself, would inflict an expencc of twopence upon his Corres- pondent? Anonymous letters of this kind will not be attended to. A TRADESMAN of Bridgend should have given us his name. We don't like anonymous puffs. \Ve think the debate on Odd Fellowship, and the Chartists nnmbered amongst that Order, has gono far enough. That there are Odd Fellows who have also been Chartists, is beyond contradiction. That in belonging to such an illegal body they trans- rcssed the rules of their order is equally beyond a a doubt. We believe the Odd Fellows, as a body. to be loval men and true; and the wonder would be, if among such large numbers there were not a few black sheep. Owirionedd, however correct he may have been in his original animadversions on tho few rebels, and how much soever prepared to provo the truth of his assertions, has certainly no right to call upon the Odd Fellows to prove a negative. In conclusion, then, let us hope that even the disloyal few have now seen the error of their ways.
