To the Editor of the Carmarthen Journal. SIB,—AS the columns of your Journal arc open for all things', which have any tendency to promote the welfare of on r fellow creatures, I take r he liberty of writing a few l ues on the important subject of Sabbath Schools. All persons who feel interested in the cause of humanity aatl religion, must view with delight the great increase of Sabbath "'Schools in these latter days. Villages and hamlets, wfeere vice and immorality formerly existed to a lament- able degree, are now blessed with the liglit of the gospel, for which they are indebted in a great measure to Sabbath Schools. But if Sabbath Schooli are in a progressive state; if lbesalutarv effects which result from them be widely extended-, si ill, mucli irore may be done. And as I know, of no means more calculated for this end, than by drawing the attention of young persons, who have been favoured | with a: liberal education, to commence as teachers in this glorious work and to use all means in their power to pre- vent children from jJia m on the Sabbath, and induce them jo become pupils in their Schools. If the united efforts of -muns persons who have two or three hours to spare on the Sabbath were thus exercised, no estimate can be formed of the goodWhich may result, and surely they would only do t:;al Which voung persons ought to do, who profess to love their neighbours as themselves. If their minds are endued with'true Christian principles, and if they feel interested in the great work of evangelizing the world, surely I say, if any young persons are endued with these principles, the least thinp-they can do, is to commence hand and heart in tiw impbAant work of Sabbath School teaching. We should ail love an object in proportion to its amiable- nes», and to the beneficial effects which it produces. Of the importance of this subject, the morals of Solomon shall suffice: 11 Train up a child (says he) in the way he should eo, and when heTU old he will not depart from it." There- fore, if his present and eternal welfare depends upon the instruction which he receives in youth surely, this is cisub- ject which eminently deserves the attention of all whom Providence has blessed with the ability for engaging in it, Sunday Schools are with propriety deemed the handmaids fcnd nurseries of the ministry-for here the first rudiments -if Religion are developed to infant minds here Scd plum 1 traths are laid before them in the simplest and clearest man tæf "here many have been introduced to the Church of God, and to the knowledge of things which pertain to their eter- nal happiness. In consequence of the truths which they bate heard and read in Sunday Schools, many have been brought to a knowledge of Jesus Christ as their Saviour, and have been wrapped in the robe of Righteousness, and clothed with the garments of Salvation. Happy are they, thcretdre, who are covered with them. no weapon formed against Jhem shall prosper. Yoting persons—you who have an opportunity of doing goejfd to your fellow creatures, come forward I entreat yoa, attdf lend yourselves (I) the great and good work of n inbtatkScbool teaching. The talents which you possess, were not given you to remain unexercised; but they were given you for the purpose of giood, and may Ihose w Iw are already engaged in it, continue in well doing, for they w ill assuredly be rewarded if they faint not. Do not ima- gine that ibe time spent in School are hours of heavin and gloominess; no, be assured that there is more pleasure to he found here than in parading (he strerts, nnd associating with woridlv company ID profaning the Sahhalh: rbis I assert from my own experience. 1 cannot conclude wrw-. out expressing ihe sentiments of gratitude I feel towards my late teacher, to whom I am highly indebted. I esteem him as tnv best friend and kindest benefactor. To him I am indebted for the Iitiie progress I have marie in Scrip- tural knowledge, and the Holy Spirit (through his instru- mentality) has, I trust, drawn my attention from the vani- ties of this world, and fixed on those things which tire cler. nal; those things that never fade; those things which are for ever on Ihe right hand of God. May heavenly blessings accompany till the efforts made in Sunday Scilools may thi-ir numbers daily increase; and may (hose who have used their endeavours in thif good cause, when they have per- formed all they had to do,—may they be lransplanted to those realms of bliss, where they shoald enjoy the presence (J f God for ever and evrr.

NEWEST LONDON FASHIONS FOR…
NEWEST LONDON FASHIONS FOR MAY, 1831. ( From" The World of Fashion," a Monthly Magatine.) Come fair vassals of our Absolute Queen, and read in her Royal Ordonances for this month, new proofs of her mater- nal tenderness to her lovely lieges: it is in light and grace- ful costume, in dresses oi' simple elegance, and what ran he better calculated to display British beauty that she orders them to appear. While the materials to which she has set her seals are sufficiently various to permit the indulgence of diversity of taste, and what is better, to give bread to our own industrious artizans. Let us, then, her chosen minis- ters. hasten to proclaim her edicts. But, hold First a word. Fair daughters of Fashion you have gained the 'VIIP.t"lge gi, ourl d of your neighbours; will you keep it or not? In plftin Knelish, you have set the fashion of the summer bonnets. The first oider of a French lady to her mil) iier, is to let her capotes he tue exact shape of an En- glsh cottage bonnet. They have hitherto often copied vour fashions, but till now they never openly acknowledged it; arouse then from your dream of fancied inferiority; invent your own fashions, or employ your own milliners to invent them for you, and English taste will soon be as proudiy pre-eminent as English virtue, or English beauty. Meantime, till this revolution can be achieved, we present vou with the veritables capotes Anglaises, as well as a variety of out-door and other novelties, which Mrs. Bell has re- ceived from the magasins of Herbault, Minette, Rousellet Vaulot, and other distinguished Merchandes des Modes of Paris. HATS AND BONNETS.- The most elegant, as well as fashion- able, of the morning bonnets, are the capoles a la modest; they are composed of watered gros de Naples, the crown is (I fmoiertte height, the brim not so short as. that of a hat at the ears, and not so long as bonnet brims are in general is slightly arched in front, and cut square at the corners. It is ornamented, on th? inside, with blond lace in the cap stile, but in a manner perfectly novel. The trimming con- sists of a large cockade of gauze, or satin ribbon, or else a very lare roselle of ribbon. Carnage bonnets of a more dressy description, and parti- cularly those worn for morning visits, are of rice straw, crape, and watered gros de Naples; white is considered most elezant; many are trimmed with a large round bou- quet of flowers, composed either of a eamelia, surrounded by violets or hyacinths, or of a white rose in the centre ofa bouquet of red rose buds; this bouquet is either attached near the summit of the crown on the right, by a ribbon cockade or else it is inserted in the centre of a cornet of blond lace, disposed in ocpp plaits. We see also several half dress bonnets, whether of rice straw or silk, lined with coloured crape, trimmed with a broad ribbon to correspond yviih the lining, crossed in front of the crown and three short ostrich feathers, either white or to correspond with the lining, attached on the right side by a large cockade. MAKE AND MATERIALS OP OtiT-nooR COSTCMB --Gross de Naples, of various iiew colotii-ti, tnii of uncommon heauty i and richness, is the material most in favour for spring pelis- ses. Dresses are composed of a variety of new spring silks, as Gros de Naples, Bayaderes, Thessatiennes Chines Perses, and, Foulard du Bengals, a mixture of silk and thread, and a perfect imitation of Indian materials. A good many of the new pelisses are open in front, with corsage a schall and sleeves a In Medices; they are lined, in general, with white sarsnet, and the trimming conists either of rouleaus disposed a la Grecque round the corsage and down the front of the dress, or else of a biais of satin, cut in irregular dentî, which are edged with a narrow effile. Others are fastened up the front with knots, composed of the material of the dress, and corded with satin; they are of various forms. A third stile, and that by far the most elegnnt, is that we have given in our print; it is exceed ingty fashionable, both for carriage and public promenade dress, and is tasteful and original in a very high degree. ( Several of the new dresses are inside with a corsage uni, and to lace behind they are to be worn with embroidered fichus, which fall over and form jockeys on the shoulders, and shawls round the corsages; these fichus, which must be put on underneath the dress, have several rows of trimming some are half high, the other reach to the throat. Long sleeves for silk dresses are in general of the form called demigigot,
IRELAND.
IRELAND. CONFLICT BETWEEN THE PEASANTRY AND THE MILITARY.-On Sunday last, that very active and deter- mined magistrate, George Lloyd, of Mount Catherine, Esq. received information that an incendiary notice was posted on the chape! of Bridgetown, calling on the sur- rounding peasantry to ass mble at eight o'clock on Moil- day morning. Mr. Lloyd immediately put himself in communication with Capt. Hogg, 58th regiment, stationed at Dootias, and the police party, with which force he pro- ceeded to Arcloney, and was met there by Capt. Martin, of Killaioe, another magistrate, supported by a detach- ment of Capt. Leigliton's company, 58th, from Montpeiier, and Capt. Higgon's company of the same regiment from Killaioe, with chief constable Duncan and the police. The country people had in the meantime collected in great numbers, and commenced turning up with spades the land of Mr. Whigrnore, at Ross, county Clare. Mr. Lloyd leav- ing Captain Martin to watch their movements with a suffi- cient force, proceeded over the bog of O'Brien's-bridge, with two division? of military, in order to come in front of the rioters, and induce them to fall back on Capt. Mar- tin's party. The multitude retreated on Mr. Lloyd's ad- vance, and crossed the road into the fields towards Mr. M'Cormick's ground, which they also began to turn up in view cf the civil and military authorities. Mr. Lloyd, however, came up with them, and read the Riot Act, after which lie ordered them to disperse. The mandate was replied to by uplifted spades, and a flight of stones. The army immediately charged the rioters who fled in all di- rections, shots were fired after the fugitives, and no less than 34 of them were made prisoners. It is believed that two men were killed, and at least one dozen wounded in the short conflict which took place.-Early on yesterday, Major Gen. Sir G. Bingham and Thomas P. Yokes, Esq. left this garrison with two pieces of artillery, a troop of the 17th Lancers, and two companies of the 76th regiment, for Doonas, where the following magistrates had assem- bled in petit sessions:—Sir Hugh Dillon Massy, Bart., William Blood Smyth, Esq., Captain Hugh D. Massy, George Lloyd, Samuel Bindon, Esqs. the Rev. Thomas Westropp, and Joseph Wallplate, Esq. A detail of the circumstances relating to the above was made in court, and a committal was made out for all the prisoners. Un- der this strong escort they were then marched through the country, and at eight o'clock last night reached town, when they were committed to the county gaol. The ex. traordinary appearance of so great a number of prisoners arriving at that late hour, under a strong guard, created a most lively sensation, and crowds of people followed the calvacade through the streets, shouting and cheering.— We have no doubt whatever but this prompt and decisive measure of Mr. Lloyd will be productive of great and last- ing good to the county. It has already struck a whole- some terror into the turbulent and disaffected among the peasantry. The active magistrate did not hesitate for a moment, but exercised the powers of that commission with which lie was invested, to uphold the authority of the laws, and preserve the tranquillity of his district. This j duty was discharged with firmness, and attended with success. Would that other magistrates had distinguished themselves with equal zeal, atid had they done so we should not have to record those harrowing scenes ot out- rage and murder which yet disgrace the county of Clare: The country never can forget the valuable services of Mr. "tioyd in his magisterial capacity, and in July, 1829, a period of great political excitement, he had the honour of r ceiving the marked thanks of his excellency the Lord Lieutenant, through the then chief secretary, Lord Leve- son Gower, for his promptitude, temperance, and firm- ness, in preventing disturbance."—Some of the above fellows have this morning acknowledged in prison, that several of their companions were severely wounded.— This day a number of the persons taken up by Mr. Lloyd for turning the lands of Ross, and who were liberated at the sessions by the magistrates for want of sufficient proof, att nded on the ground with Mr. Whigmore, for the pur- pose of replacing the sods, and which was agreed upon, as one of the conditions for their li be ratio n.-Li-iiierick Citro. CLARE.—We have been informed that a letter was yes- terday received from Clare, stating that an engagement had taken place between the insurgents and the military, in which a field officer was shot! The insurgents, it is said, had five of their number killed, 14 wounded, and 40 made prisoners. We have heard the field officer's name, said to have been shot, but wilhold it until we can ascer- tain the truth of the statement. Perhaps it may be ano- ther version of the preceding news from the Limerick Ciii-onicle.-Dubliii Morning News Letter. I' MIRACULOUS ESCAPE.-Oil Sunday last, about four o'clock in the afternoon, the dwelling-house of the Rev. Mathew Moore, at Rockvale, Newport, Tipperary, was struck with lightning, which carried away part of a stack of chimneys, and split part of the walls. The electric fluid penetrated the interior of the building, and in its rapid course devastated whatever it passed over. The great kitchen flags were torn up and split assunder, nearly all the window-sashes were either dashed to pieces or materially injured,—several of the room doors were burst open.—the crush was sudden, and the noise tremendous —Mrs. Moore was at th/ instant proceeding from the house closet to the dining parlour with two decanters of wine, which were forced from her hands and broken, while she herself was stunned and prostrated in the hall, without however sustaining any serious personal injury and when recovered from the shock, her first exclamation was for her children, who, with their amiable mother, thanks to a kind and merciful Providence; escaped unhurt from this awful visitation. There was something singular in the instance of Mrs. Moore. She wore a silk dress, which is known to be an attractor of lightning, but it was covered by a cotton apron which lias the opposite quality, and to Ithis most lucky incident may perhaps be the preservation of her life be attributed. There were at least twenty persons within the house during this terrible elementary conflict, and although the entire building^ presented a scene of the most dreadful alarm and confusion, the bell- wires being melted down, locks torn off, and nearly every article of furniture displaced and destroyed, not an indivi- dual suffered even in the estimation of a hair, with the exception of the Rev. Mr. Moore, who was scorched in the hand. But one room was left inhabitable, where Mr. and Mrs. Moore slept the same night, all the others of the fa- mily having to leave and seek shelter in the neighbour- hood. The exterior and interior of the house presented a dilapidated spectacle. Several hundred persons went to see it the day following. The main wall is rent from top to bottom. Four policemen are now stationed there for the safety of whatever property remains, as the house is open to access at all poi n ts. -Limerick Chronicle. LUKE DILLON.-Tlie sentence of death which was to have been carried into effect upon this unfortunate man on Saturday next, lias been commuted to trans- portation for life. An official notification from the Castle, announcing the fact, was on Wednesday morn- ing transmitted to the High Sheriffs. The notice was immediately given to Mr. Dillon, who appeared to receive it with complete indifference, a matter which should excite but little surprise, as he had been known to state long before the slightest hope of mercy could be entertained by him, that he thought hanging in comparison to perpetual transportation, would be the less punishment of the two.'—Dublin Morning Regis- ter. WARFARE AGAINST TITHEs.-There are some hu- mourous points rtbont the opposition in Ireland to tithes; this is more particularly the case in the counties of Kilkenny and Carlow. The country people sooner than pay the tithe, allow their property to be distrained —that is, where it can he got at; for the instant it is known that the police-tithe pructor and military have come out for the purpose of seizing property, the next scout announces with a horn their approach, and the warning, with the rapidity of a telegraph, is caught up in every direction of the horns of the peasantry, who instantly proceed to hide their pigs and ducks, or drive them into one another's land where they cannot be touched, as the law allows distraint only on the lands of the defaulter. A more atrocious and unprovoked murder never took place than the murder of William Eason, on Thursday last, within two miles of Ballinasloe. Two men entered his house about dark, led him quietly out to the rear of it and shot him dead. He was steward to a Mr. Daniel; had been noticed by the lawless le- gislators to quit, and was upon the eve of obeying the mandate yvhen the awful crime took place. He was a man greatly liked, and a most inoffensive reputable Protestant. II!

ELOPEMENT.—Saturday morning, a highly rerpecta, ble family residing at ISiackheath, was thrown into the most poignant grief, in consequence of the sudden dis- tn appearance of an only daughter, highly accomplished, t, and scarcely seventeen years of age. A young gentle man named B-, abollt her own age, living in the neighbourhood, had been noticed for some time to pay the young lady every marked attention, which was re- turned by her "with equal ardour—yet, nothing wrong was ever thought of by her parents, and they, therefore, allowed the acquaintance to exist, believing the youth was actuated by honorable principles. At the usual hour on Friday night, the family retired to rest, and the young lady went to her chamber. In the morning, not making her appearance, the servant was sent to call her to breakfast, yvhen, to the astonishment of all, she was nowhere to be found.—Upon her toilet was a letter addressed to her father and mother stating that she had formed the resolution of absenting herself from them with Mr. B., with whom she was sure she should he happy. The distressed father immediately instituted inquiries in the neighbourhood, but could learn no tidings that gave him any clue to the retreat of the lovers. It is said that the lady was seen to enter a post-chaise with a gentleman, on the Lewisham road, about two o'clock in the morning, and the chaise pro- ceeded toward town. The young gentleman, when of age, will come into possession of a large fortune. IKET SOLOMONs.-On Friday the judges met in the Exchequer Chamber, for the special purpose of consi- dering the case of thts individual, and declared their opinion to be, that the! prisoner had been rightly con- victed as a receiver. He will be brought up next week to receive sentence. THE ORIGINAL MAGNA CIlARTA-Slr Robert Cot- ton happening to clli I at his tailor's, discovered that the man held in his hand the identical Magna Charta, with all its seals and appe tidages, which he was just going to cut into measures for his customers. The baronet re- deemed the valuable curiosity, at the price of old parch-I ment, and thus recovered, what was supposed to have been irretrievably lost. It is now preserved in the British Museum. After the Recorder had passed sentence on a priso- ner, named Mary Ano6 Deane, alias Blue Ribbons, at the Yarmouth Assizes, adjudging her to seven years' transportation, she held out her arm and vociferated" I pray God Almighty you may sit there till I comeback, and then I'll tell you how I like it." The Lord Chancellor will preside at the anniversary dinner of the Yorksh ire Society, at the Freemason's Ta- vern, on the 9th of JunO next. The society is but lit- tle known; but the beniftts derived from it are very considerable. At the annual election, held on the 4th instant. 3 girls and 7 boys were admitted. The object is the znaintenance, clothing, and education of the chii- dreo of indigent Yorkshire pareatj resident inJ-ondon* THE ELECTION AT MALMESBURY.—A most curiotrs and farcical exhibition took place at Malmesbury, on the election of two Members for this most rotten borough. Prior to the election, hand-bills had been posted all over the town, announcing that an independent man would come forward and offer himself to represent this borough in Parliament. In consequence, the town and neighbourhood were in a state of extreme excitement. Mr. Pitt, of Estcourt, nominated Sir Chas. Forbes and his son, John Forbes, Esq. but no one came forward to second the nomination. Mr. N. Patridge nominated Paulett Scrope, Esq. of C istle Combe, in a masterly and energetic appeal to the electors; which nomination was seconded in a spirited manner by Mr. Bishop. Mr. Pitt made an apology for the absence of Sir C. Forbes, on account of il 1 health. On being ques- tioned, he, (Mr. Pitt,) acknowledged that Mr. J. For- bes was in good health A voice from an individual in the crowd said, he was giving his attendance to his father. Mr. Scrope addressed the electors and audi- ence in a most powerful and truly eloquent speech, in- terspersed with some ludicrous anecdotes, which affor- ded infinite amusement, and produced roars of laughter. A poll being demanded on the part of Mr. Scrope, Mr. Pitt, Jun. the high-steward of the borough, put the question "Who do you vote for?" to each elector, when a most ridiculous scene occurred. Such was the extreme ignorance of the 13 burgesses, (electors) that it appeared impossible, by any previous training, to malie them recollect or pronounce the name or title of Forbes; some callirJ tbe Hon. candidates by the un- couth names of John Hobbs, Charles Fobbs, Voords, Fords, Foorbes, and Boors in fact out of the 13 elec- tors, not more than four knew, or could be made to pronounce, the real names of the candidates. As the bribery oath was being administered to the burgesses individually, the most awful groans issued from the crowd at the end of every oath. The ceremony was frequently interrupted with eries of "Oh! John, don't ve damn your own soul," 11 G"Ie that man a glass of liyle to get it down." Why, thuck wooath will zurely choak thee I" It is needless to add, that Sir Charles Forbes and his son were re-elected. Mr. Scrope was enthusiastically received by the inhabitants of Malmes- bury, and no doubt can he entertained, that should he offer himself, he will be returned as Member for this borough when it shall be thrown open. The disgrace- ful farce of the day ended by the populace burning the effigies of the returned Members. On the body of Sir Charles a paper was placed with these words, "The Lord have mercy upon me," and on his son John, Why, father, it serves us right." The indignation of the people was such, that they furiously trampled their remains into the dust. How the most practised bo- roughmonger could persevere in carrying through such an iniquitous scene as the above may appear in- credible to the virtuous portion of your readers, but they may be assured that nothing is too base for those who have been thoroughly initiated in the corrupted and corrupting system of traffickers in borough fran- chise. A reward" of .£100 was offered by the Stroud Central Association to any person who should give such information as would lead to the conviction of any person guilty of bribery at this election. -Clouc,-ster J ournal. MIRACULOUS ESCAPE.—A few days since a little girl, about five years old, fell into a well, in the New-street, in Yeovil, about 25 feet deep, with 7 feet of water the child had been missing upwards of half an hour, when her mother accidently discovered her perilous situation a man immediately descended the well, and took up the child in his arms, but when drawn up nearly to the mouth of the well the rope broke, and both were preci- pitated to the bottom the man, however, though severe ly bruised by the fall, succeeded in saving the child, .ind both "were ultimately and providentially rescued from their perilous situations, ANTI-MALTHUSIAN PROCEEDINGS.—A correspondent upon whose veracity ve can rely has asured us that the following addition was made to the domestic circle of a poor collier at Glutton, in this neighbourhood on the first of April last. In the morning his sow farrowed and had eleven pigs; about two hours afterwards a terrier bitch, the guardian of his premises littered five pups; within half an hour afterwards his cat produced four kittens; to crown the whole, his wife was deliver- ed of a fine boy in the evening, making an accession of 21 to the family in the short space of twelve hours. GUILDHALL.—Thos. Hayling, an elderly man, ap- peared before Mr. Alderman Cowan to account for the loss of a brown mare. It appeared that David Grif- fiths, a farmer from Montgomeryshire, after disposing of a large drove of cattle, went to Smitbfield market to sell his horse for £ 20. He had not been there lon.g, when Hayling asked him to watch two horses for five minutes. When he returned Griffiths left his marc in the care of Hayling; but on his return the animal was missing, and Hayling professed to know nothing about it. It was explained to the alderman that this was a common trick but a charge of the kind had never been preferred against Hayling. Hayling said, that when Griffiths left the mare with him be was liable to be called away. He was so called away; and when he returned he found Griffiths inquiring for his horse. The complainant admitted that he received the notice, from Hayling, and the alderman therefore discharged him. On Tuesdav week, whan the reform candidates were passing through Horbury, on their way to Thorbes- house,Wakefield, the carriage of Lord Morpeth unfor- tunately passed over a boy, of the name oi Ruddock. His lordship immediately alighted, and assisted in conveying him home, when a surgeon was sent for, and requested by his lordship to give every attention to the poor boy's case. The anxiety and feeling evinced by Lord Morpeth on this occasion are the theme of general observation. On Friday, his lordship again called on the mother (a poor widow with a larg.* family), and after inquiring into her circumstances, he requested after inquiring into her circumstances, he requested that the boy might be educated and brought up at his own expense.—Leeds Mercury.

THE DUCHESS OF WELLINGTON. A very romantic trait presents itself in the early acquaintance of the Hon. Miss Pakenham and Colonel Wellesley, the future hero of Waterloo: they were both young; the Lady petite in figure, but elegantly formed, and possessing beauti- ful features. The gallant Colonel was ordered to India previously pledging vows of unalterable attachment. His glorious career there is recorded on the page of history. On his return he found that the small-pox had almosttotally destroyed the loveliness of the Lady's face. She told the soldier that she released him from his vows but he was true to his attachment, and almost immediately married the object of his juvenile affec- tions. This is a tale of real life.

There was a large arrival of American Flour during last week; 17,000 barrels. English Flour remains the same in price. In consequence of the influx of Foreign Barley, and malting season being near the close, the trade was very fiat, and the superfine sorts were Is. per quarter lower, and inferior, Is. to 2s. cheaper. There was a large supply of English and Irish Ont-S 10t week, which occasioned a heaviness in the trade and all descriptions went off slow, at Is. per quarter cheaper.
