(Tctrmattljcn, 21. The liberty of the Pi-ess without its licentiousness." J J POLITICAL SUMMARY, AFTER the intense excitement which has pre- vailed for the last six months, the nation is now beginning to enjoy an interval of repose. Parlia- ment is to be prorogued until February, when it will again meet for the dispatch of business.—There is nothing from the Continent this week possessing any striking interest, except the decision of the Chamber of Deputies, for the abolition of the here- ditary Peerage. Democracy makes fearful strides in France, and will hortly obtain that ascendancy which will not tolerate the, existenceôfancon stitutional check. The state of affairs in France is futi of instruction to those who have ears to hear and eyes to see.

MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT.—Monday last, as the Re- gulator Coach, running between Carmarthen and Ha- verfordwest, was returning to the former place, in des- cending Pentrehowell hill, the coachman unfortunately to chain the wheel, which caused the wheel- ers to become restive, and in endeavouring to stop them, he lost his hold, of the reins, and to recover them, jumped upon the bitcli of one of the horses, which threw him on the road, and it is supposed, that in conse- quence his reck WLs broken, as he died on the spot. The coahcmai) was a very sober and civil man, and much respected by all who knew bim, particularly by his employers, whose loss they deeply regret. He has unfortunately left a widow and two children to lament the loss of a kind husband and parent. The Carmarthenshire Harriers will meet on Tuesday next, at Pibwr-wen Gate, on the Kidwelly road, and on Fri.day, at the Fox and Hound s, on the St. Clear' road,—-each morning at 10 o'clock. CARMARTHENSHIRE QUARTER SESSIONS.—The Quar ter Sessions for this County were held at the Shire" hall," in this town, on Wednesday last, before John Jones, Esq. M. P. and a full Bench of Magistrates. The feitowing prisoners were tried :— Mary Lewis, of the parish of Llanwrda, stood indicted for stealing, on the 2d July last, one shovel, the property of Thomas Williams. Not Guilty. Thomas Lewis, aged 47, stood indicted for having receiv ed 3s. in sil ver, t wo quarters of a pound of tobacco, &c, the property of Thomas Thomas, mercer, of Haugadock. The prisoner was placed at the Bar and airaigned for havingstokn the property. The evidence not. being sum- cient to convict him for felony, he was ordeied lo be re- manded and a fiesh indictment preferred, for receiving the goods knowing them to have been stolen. The prosecutor stated, that he was a merchant and shopkeeper residing in the town, and bv information received, he watched hs shop, and on the 26 th Augu-t, about half-past nine o'clock saw the prisoner holding his hand, and recel v iniome goods, went after him, and found some butter and money. The attorney for the defence wanted to shew that the prosecutor was got up, in consequence of the prisoner hav- ing given evidence against a Mrs. Morgan, of the above tovi ii, but he was unable to do so, and also that the prose- secutor kept in his employ a young man, of the name of Henry Grav, who had given the goods to the prisoner. Henry Gray slated, ne had given goods at different time, to the prisoner, the property of Mr. Thomas, and when he applied for payment, he, the prisoner, threatened to inform his master. An objection was taken lothe indictment, upon the grounds that it staled that the goods were stolen by a person unknown to (lie Jury, which, by the, evid ence of Gray, was not the case. In consequence of wi) c.) tne prisoner was found Not Guilty. Tl.e Court addressed the voting man, Henry Gray, and desired him to be more careful of his master's pi operty, and alsp gave a severe lecture to the prisoner, and informed flitil, had the prosecution been carried on and substantiated, according as they appeared in the depositions, he* (he pri- soner, would have been transported for life. tVitliam Rees, aged 32, stood indicted for stealing from William AVitHams, shoemaker, of Laugharne, the suiii of 21s. The prosecutor went from Saint Clears fair to My- driin, and met a man who appeared very drunk, and vVho took hold of the prosecutor, and threw him down, and rtol the money. The prosecutor could not swear positively to the person of the prisoner. He, the prisoner, received an excellent character from his late and present employers; and the jury, after consulting for a few minutes, found I him N"t Gniltv.

PEMBROKESHIRE EJECTION.—HAVERFORDWEST.20TH OCTOBER, 1831.—(From a, Co rrespondeiit.) -I'll e pol- ling of Friday began with rapidity, and at the close of cl n the day Sir John Owen attained. a majority of 36; which, however, on the following day was reduced to 34. Great exultation was felt bv the Blues on their having a majority of two on the day's poll, and in the joy of this partial success, the Hon. Mr. Greville made an unceremonious attack or. the character of Mr. Lewis, of Clynview, in rather coarse language. A challenge was accordingly sent to the lion, gentleman; but not having sufficient temerity to faca his injured opponent, he wisely came to the proposal of making a public apology from the hustings. This was accepted, anil Mr. Greville, on Monday, made the preferred apology, amidst the groans of the populace..Monday.-Sir John gained a gross majority of 56. This day was marked with nothing extraordinary, except that of Mr. Greville tendering a pauper to vote, which the assessor prudently rejected. On litesday Sir Jolin.g-,tined the majority of 85. Owing to some ungentlemanly lan- guage which dropped from Mr. Tucker, otSeaIeyham. in regard to Mr. Gilbert James Harries, of Llanvvn was, a meeting took place on Wednesday morning: shots were exchanged, but neither party injured,—and mat- ters were arranged by Mr, Tucker making an apology on the field,-and afterwards pubticiv in the assessor's room. Wednesday's close of the "poll presented Sir John with a total majority of 109; but on this day the assessor, Mr. Serjeant Russell, decided that a parol promise of a lease will enable a person to vote. This was one of the grounds of complaint against the last assessor, and for admitting which votes,he was termed; "tnemcient." The learned serjeant, however, hascer- tainly admitted them under certain restrictions, siichas shewing an outlay in substantial buildings, &.c., to, the amount of < £ 30; but even this has not been the means of preventing a great mass of such voters tendering their votes, and stating (for they are mot put to their qath) that they have expended that sum pursuant to the jUpposed agreements, and in general they have passed. It is due, however, to both. candidates to say, that this set of voters, like the paupered voters, have come first from Mr. Greville; and such has been their influx that on looking over the poll-books, we iind that they (with 2 or 3 exceptions) have been the only class of voters polled for Mr. Greville this day, and they have consequently cut down the numbers of the real freeholders, composillg Wednesday's majority for Sir John Owen, to the amount of 84; the total numbers now polled being 1412 for Sir John Owen, and 1329 for Mr. Greville. This lessening of the majority s r, would not have happened, perhaps, so much, were it not for the s: ud icd delays practised in the Naihertii booth, by which Sir John was deterred from polling about 20 frecholdet's (unquestionably good ones) in that booth ûlIritJg this day. This assessor is indefati- gable in going- through all the disputed votes, so that there is no apprehension of any accumulation of queried votes at the close of the poll. From the infor- mation obtained, the ultimate success of Sir John Owen is certain. Mr. Littleton's Bill for the abolition of tie Truck system, has now passed both Houses of Parliament, and only waits the Roval assent to become law. EISTDDFOD AT liEA'UI%IARIS.-IVe are Iii(,Iily pilised to hear that the preliminaries of another grand Eis- teddfod are in preparation. Beaumaris is to he the scene of action. The Rev. H. Parry, of Llanasa, and Wrn. Jones, Esq. of St, Asaph, have formed a com- mittee for carrying the project into effect; and our dis- tinguished patriot, Sit- R. B. W. Bulkeley, Bart., has, with his usual readiness foi- proiiioting every good na- tional cause, consented to-be-president. Sir Edward Mostyn, Bart., Talacre, has put his name down for the same rnutlitieent subscription, as lie gave to the Den- bigh Eisteddfod, viz. £100, and the worthy president elect has extended hisliberulity still further. This will be the first time that the classic groundsof Mona,—the land of Goronwy Owen and of Lewis Morris will have been honoured with a general Eisteddfod for centuries; and it is confidently anticipated that the native atrien of the Cymry will he brought to action, with more than usual fervour, on such an occasioii.-C(ti-iia)-voit Her. The news of the Peers having rejected the Reform Bill was received at Merthyr and Neath with feelings of deep sorrow and lively indignation. The conscious- ness of invincible rectitude and power in the good cause is, however, an effectual security against any unruly manifestations. The people feelthernselves too strong to be irritable, but emotions of deep, settled, immoveable resolve, blended with fervent lovaltv to the King and his present Government, are the prevalent characteristics of both neighbourhoods. An address to his Majesty, declaratory offirm adhesion to the prin- ciples of Lord John Russell's Bill, and entire confi- dence in the present Ministry, and entreating his Ma jesty to adopt the most prompt measures, for securing the peace and happiness of his people, was immediately prepared at Swansea, and has already received 800 sig- natures, amongst which are the names of the most opu- lent and influential gentlemen in the town and neigh- bourhood. A similar address is in progress at Neath; and every town in the Principality will, we have no doubt, act consentaneously oa the same views. From every place we hear of the same demonstrations of disgust and disappointment, at the weak and insuLting conduct of the Peers. Their treatment of the bill is uni- versally felt to be a national affront; and the only way for their lordships to make the best of a bad business, is to offer the amende honourable, the moment they have an opportunity offered them. Conquer they' cannot; hut they may yet capitulate upon honourable terms.— Cambrian, BANGOR.—A requisition signed by forty respectable householders at Bangor has been sent to the church- .1 wardens, urging them to call a. public meeting to con- sider the steps which, in this eventful crisis, ought to be taken, in consequence of the rejection by the Lords spiritual and temporal, of the bill to reform the COtn iiions' House of Parliament, and to express the views and feeling's of the inhabitants of Bangor, thereon giving them an opportunity of addressing his Majesty, assuring him of their loyalty towards his royal person, and their determination to support the present admi- nistration. SINGULAR CASE.-CAUTION TO PARENTS.—A slioi- time back, a child of IS months old, son of Morgan Thomas, labourer at Mr. Smith's quarry, swallowed a copper gilt button of three quarters of an inch diameter, in consequence whereof he suffered excruciating- ago nies for 23 days. Emetics were given without effect, and death must speedily have ensued, had not recourse been had to treacle, a considerable quantity of which was given to the little sufferer on Sunday last. The consequence was his stomach rejected the treacle, and along with it the button, the cause of his illness. When discharged from his stomach, the button was as bright as when new, although it had been dull and discoloured when' swallowed. This change is imputed to the ac- tion of the gastric juice. FATAL ACCIDENT.On Thursday afternoon, between 2 and 3 o'clock, as a boat belonging to Mr. R. Jones, iron founder, of Bangor, was returning from Beauma- ris to that city, she was upset by a sudden squall of wind, and melancholy to relate two fine youths of about 15 years of age, who were on board, both found a wa- tery grave. The one was Robert Jones, son of Mr. Jones, founder, Baegor; the othei David Williams, son of a Workman in Mr. Jones's employment. The melancholy catastrophe was witnessed by many persons from Hirael and Port Penrhyn, and among them Mr. Jones, the father of one of the sufferers, but unfortu- nately no timely assistance could be rendered. The accident was attributed to the boat carrying too much sail and too little ballast. The boat has since been found on the Lavan Sands, but the bodies of the two young men have hitherto been sought for in vain. HORRIBLE DEATH.—As a mechanic of the name of Edge, was, on Wednesday se'nnight, employed in the machine shop of Mr. John Mason, of Rochdale, in putting a strap upon a drum which was in motion, it slipped from a pulley attached to a machine which it should have turned, and in a moment involving his bo- dy, it was dragged round a strong iron shaft, which was only about eighteen inches from the upper floor, at every revolution crashing his bones, and lacerating the flesh in a most shocking manner, At length he fell from the shaft, and it was then found that his ribs, back, arms, legs; and thighs were broken, his skull fractured, and the fingers of both hands.were torn away at the knuckle joints, Of course he was quite dead and an inquest being held upon the body the day following, a verdict of accidental death was returned. On Friday night last, as four gentiemeu were re- turning to Pontypool from Crumlin in a car, owing to the darkness of the night the driver mistook the road, near the Old Furnace, when the vehicle was upset, and the whole were precipitated a. distance of at least IS feet into a rail-road b. low. Providentially they all escaped any very serious accident, further than 'some severe contusions. Had it occurred but a few yards further, inevitable death must have been the conse- quence, as the declivity by the side of the road in that place is at last 20 yards, 4. few days ago, as Alr., Ci-istoplier rriiorne,of Chep- stow, was working on a scaffold erected at Sidbury Park, the flooring, although three inches thick, owing to some defect gave way, and he fell through to the ground, nearly forty feet. Providentially, a bed of mortar laý ät the bottom of the scaffolding, into which lie was plunged up to his amwpits so that, although Sorely bruised, no bones were broken. The City of.Bristol, like its Liverpool, always forward in public improvements, is about to add to its other public institutions a new General Hospital and a Gallery for Paintings. By a calculation it appears, tliat allowing thirty-two years for a generation, and reckoning 52(»/ years* from Adam to the present time, that 145 thousandaraillion of human beings have existed on the earth since the sys- tem of our globe commenced, I MERTHYR TVDVIL.—The diiiVrence between the pro- priotors of the Doivlais Iron Works and their work- men, and cf the Pivii)(tiltil %%It)lltis-ati(I their workmen, respecting the Union Societies, continue much in the same state as the date of our last publication-except- ing that a few of the millers, colliers, and firemen, having become convinced of the impolicy of continu- ing members of these societies, have returned to their work at Dowlais. These have been joined by a large number of men, who gladly availed themselves of opportunity of obtaining employment, which they had previously been unable to procure. The proprietors of the Dowlas Ironworks have, therefore, by these means got their works into operation to- about halt their usual extent. The great body of the Unionists, how- ever, remains out of work; and on Friday week seve- ral of them applied to the Magistrates, J. B. Bruce, Esq. and Rev. Geo Thomas, at a Petty Sessions, held at Merthyr, for an order on the Select Vestry, who had refused them relief, upon the gronnds of their being voluntarily out of employment. After carefully con- sidering what, was urged by the applicants fur relief and the Sehtct Vestry, the Magistrates decided,—That the applicants being able to obtain work upon comply- ing with a reasonable condition, they, the Magistrate*, have no right to order them to be maintained out of the poor i-ittes.-IVe ;ij-e liiipi)y to Stilt(- tililt tliei,e ai*e no symptoms of turbulence amongst the men who are out of work; we really believe that a very large por- tion of them are peaceable, well-disposed men, who have been'deluded by a few designing persons,and we have no doubt that many of them are inclined to return to their work, but entertain scruples as to the effect of the obligation of the (Iiltlt tl.y were foolish enough to take upon entering the Union, and possibly some ab- surd fear of those who may not be so well disposed as th.}.,n-o\ u. oJ" oJ. ALARMING ACCIDENT.—On Thursday last, as Mr. G. Johnson, of Carnarvon, was passing the church gates, Bangor, in a gig, the pavement gave way and sunk under the horse's fore feet, which threw him down, but fortunately without upsetting the gig. l'iie I horse's knees were cut. The acccident was caused by a drain which crosses the street not having been pro- perly arched over, and which gave way at the moment tlte iioi-se svits W ELSII ORTIIOGRAPIIy,-TIIC refusal of the Welsh Bishops to sanction the printing of a new and correc- ted edition of the Welsh Bible, according- to the improved system of orthography recommended by all the most eminent Welsh scholars of the present day, Iiiis excited. a very general sensatiùntljruughout the piincipality, and many petitions have been, and are heing- prepared to request them to wit .draw their veto. On Thursday, the 29th ul a highly respectable meeting of Cambrians resident in London, met at the Owain Glandwr Tavern, Alcle'rs,,att,-street, for the same purpose. As it cannot be supposed that the bishops are acquainted with the language spoken by the people generally, and as they are themselves there- fore not competent judges of the merits of the question, it is conceived that some influence may have been u jed in biasing their minds. Tile following is a copy of the memorial which was unanimously agreed to at the above meeting* :— To (he Riht Reverend Fathers in God, thc Lorn Bishops oi St David's, St. Asaph, Bangor, and Landafr, the.memo- rial of the undersigned VVel-hmen residing in London, consisting principally of the members of the Society of Cunreig> tidioii, SaiiWETH.— That j our memorialists have considered it 11 misfortune to their naii've country that (hi),e who are appointed to be the patrons and the guardians of its sacred literature have gen- erally been utterly destiiuie.of the branch of learning which, of all oher", is most essential to enable to do justice lo the community over wlll),e interest they preside,viz.,a know ledge of ihe language of ihe people. That tliev have heard with regret that your lord-hips are likely to decide a poiutof real moment to Wel-h Biblical readers, iu a manner most un-atisfactory to a g-i eat majo- rity of those who are capable of forming an opinion on lie subject. Your memorialists refer to the question respecting tl>e- orthoginphy of the Welsh Bible they believe that the attempt is made by incompetent judges, and- probably interested pa: ties, to influence your lordships 10 reject the system proposed by the able critic, the Hev. John Jones, piecentor of Christ Church, Oxford, a system which is appiovedofb v all the be-t Welsh scholars of the present day, and which is pre-eminently distinguished as more con- sistent, and more easily read and understood, than any other. Your memorialists pray your lordships to pause, before you allow yourselves to be instrumental in placing obstacles in the way of a great and mos'. necessary imprIJvemellt in the literature of a country, to which Notir order has been hiiherto deprived, by the circumstances of the po" er of rendering much service. They, moreover, humbly request that the edition of the holy scriptures benevolently proposed by the Lord Bishop of St. Asaph, be delayed a short time, to see whether your lordships' original plan of piihiishing the work under the superintendence of the Rev, Walter IJavies, the Rev. Henry Parry, and the Rev, Rowland Williams be not still more desirable. They leave it to your lordships to determine whether three gentlemen from South Wales should not be added- to them. Your memorialists beg farther to observe that there is il strong feeling of^bjeciioii, which is becoming daily more general, the Bible being again printed on Ihe plan advoca- ted by Mr. Biuce Knight, and they conceive that the pro- bability is, that the books would remain unsold-lour lordships'killd inlt.>ntioo frustmed-and the fuud.. of the Society for promoting Christian knowledge expended to dO purpose.

To the Editor of theCarmarthen Journal. fit,- honor of beini; a member of the Caer- marihen Cv mreigydd'on, and al-o ojie of the bards of the Society, I find m sel f called upon to tepel the attacks made upon the society through the medium-of the Cambrian news- paper. The members of the society are accused of some- tiling like ignorance of the Latin language, in which Dr. Davies wrote his Welsh Grammar and compiled his Diction- ary, and al-u, on account of the scarcity of the e works, of not II iiig abie 10 procure a copy. After hazarding this In poihesi-, a per-on signing himceif Welshman," proposes the following que-timi, \íz, [ a-khow many of all the members who attended the Caer- marthen C., nireign d(lif)ti litve perused these v%-fjrks ?" My reply to which is, that I have for one not onlv perused them, but also studied ihein again and a¡!ain, I have had them in III, possession above twenty years; ,0 that I have had sulli- cient oppoitunily of residing tliem. I need not. after this statement, say that 1 am not acquainted w ith the Latin lan- guage as w ell as the- Welsh I know Ihein both so far, that should Welshman" be inclined to w rite on the of Welsh Onhographv, or all." oiher 'uh,j,'t'1 connected with Wales, either ill Latin or Welsh, that 1 should be.thte tf I compete with him. We have enrolled ill Ihe list of our I members, men of liberal education; and those members who are not ver-ed in the leauied languages are well ac- quainled with Ihe English, ;\nd ihey a»siue me that (hey have studied the works of Dr. Davies, in the translations j given to the public by Mr. Richards,—iu the Giannual and Dictionary which under his name. Now, w ith to Dr. Dnviea's Grammar, I confess that it is tolerably good upon the whole { but after all, the Grammar published in We 1-h by Mr. Robert Davies, of Naniglyn, (w ho is only a tailor by tr;.de.) is far superior. And with respect to the Dictionary, it is scarcely deserving the title of Pocket Dictionary, inasmuch as it does not con- tair; one-Jour th of the Weish language. Hesides, it is intei- sper-ed w ith hosts of word-, ihe meaning of which he has left undefined. This valuable and learned Dictionary was published in 1632; and a second edition of it never ap- ppared in this country! I call it valuable because it is 't Ile it w;ts %Vl'1 scarce, and learned because it was written in Latin. Now. if Wel-hnian" and hi- brother ''Gnmer" be grieved and mortified, as they evidenils are, at healing of the memorial of the Caermarthen Cv tnieigv ddion, what must he their morliifration and chagrin w hen i tell them that there are four oilier memorials to the Welsh Bishops on the same subject now lying for signatures in London; and that these will be followed by others from all-parts of the Principality ? It is high time that something should be done to ensure the Weill a correct edition oflÍte Bible. 'At present there cannot be found two editions of the Welsh Bihle that per- fectly tally together, either in orthography or diction.— Can ei'her 41 Welshman" or "Goiner" deny the fact? I know they cannot, nor can anv other man living. Since the translation of the Bible into Welsh, we never have had as yet an accurate edition. M r. B. Knight may boast of that ot 1809; hut it is a vaill boasl for in that edition words and sentences are omitted, as in Dent 7, 13. a'th win Dy yd, a th win, a th olew." — See Dr. Morgan.
