Carmart&rw, 24.
Carmart&rw, 24. i" Thi liberty of the Press without its licentiousness." POLITICAL SUMMARY. Silistm, which made sb heroic and successful a de- fetti last campaign, has at last fallen into the power ol the Ru tians, and the garrison, consisting of Biu-ht thousand troops and ten tlidusitmi unncd inhabitants, have become prisoners of war. The acquisition of this fortress opens the approaches to, the Balkan, and we accordingly hear that Schoumla is closely invested The Grand Vizier with the main afmy occupies this important, and hitherto impregnable 'fortress^ and if the Turks shew as much energy and determination in its defence this campaign as they did the last; they m iy yet stay the advance of the Russian hordes, The Sultan, it is said, is going to take the field with, the Standard of the Prophet, when every Mussulman ca- pahle of bearingarms, .is bound by the obligations of Uis religion td hilly found it. If "this be ti-lelfilet," tile war canrtot he much more than begun on the part of the Turks, and if they be urtanimous in their resistance to the invaders, they must eventually beat them- back into their own territory. Buonaparte said-upon one occasion, that <4a people amounting to three millions, must he free if they ivilled, it,-they cannot tie. co- erced," and if this observation be of any force in the case of three millions^ it must be incomparably more potent when applied to a people of thirteen. The Seraslcier has been dispatched with a fresh reinforce- ment amounting to 7,00f) to the Balkan, and another very considerable body was expected to set out in a few days after for thtj same destination, the arrival of the French and English Ambassadors at Constanti- nople had produced a great Sensation there* and had diffused general joy among the people, who donbttess see in this circumstance the speedy re-establishment of a friendly intercourse between their government and the powerful kingdoms of which they are the accreditexl representatives, it is evidently against the interests of (jreat Britain that the passage of the Dardanelles should, fall into the hands of* theRusstanSj who already exercise the maritime power they possess in a manner tiie jnp^t inimious they .can iii reference to Britisii commtrcnl interests. France is also deeply concerned in preventing the further growth of Russian power, and if in conjunction with our government, they throw their weight into the contest now waging in the East, there cannot exist a moment's doubt as to the ultimate issue of it. There is another power to which the suc- cess of Russia in this struggle must be matter of pecu- liar joaloifsy and distrust, if not of serioits alarm. Austria cannot—will not, we are persuaded, view an ,accessiprito, Russian power in its immediate neio-h- bourhood, without an effort to prevent it. tnprjopor- tion to the success of Russia will those great powers manifest, we are persuaded, an increased sympathy for the Turks, who i-ealiv are not the aggressors, but act a defensive part only, in their present endeavours to repel the rapacious and unprincipled attack which is now making on their independence, or perhaj s their existence as a nation.

The boat left Carmarthen Quay in the morning for the Ferry Side, with a tide unruffled by a breeze, and with only three inches of the gunwale above water, but when it had gone within a mile of its destination a smart breeze sprung up, and the boat labouring heavily shipped a sea aft when about half a mile from the Ferry, and was swamped in the sight of litit,,drti(is of sl tato Is who had just landed from the Carmarthen boats on the paddock. Immediately, several boats put off to try to save the peo- ple, seven in number, who were in it, and who were seen trying to buoy themselves up by clinging to the plank and the oars. Mr. Jones the Member's wherry wasthetirtto reach the almost exhausted unfortunates who were strug- gling with the waves, and succeeded in rcscivingOne man and two women from a watery grave. Another boat picked up two more, and two perished. One of the men named William Thomas, with a magnanimity which does him honor, exclaimed when the boat iieai-c I iiiin, heart is in .the right place, I can bear up a little longer; save the women first." One of the bodies has been picked up, the other remains as ydnth water. The shrieks of the females who witnessed t iis melancholy catastrophe were dreadful in the extreme, and the scene was altoge- ther of the most. harrcr.ing description. Much praise is due to the gentlernenwho with pi-omptittide hastened to the assistance of those that were in the water, and who but for the timely aid they received, must inevi- tably have perished. (From a -()Ile of the results of the oppressive manner in which the leaders of the Welsh Methodist Society lately governed the conduct of the Members in reference to Catholic Emauejpation, is the appearance of a spiriteti pamphlet in the Welsh lan- guage, wherein ttie autit o i, dthocating the winei- ciples of freedom, illustrates the evil of religious insti tutions interfering with politics..The conduct of po- litical institutions assuming. the right of dictating in matters of worship, is also treated with much severity. A discussion on the conduct of those, who, to justify priestlv mterfeieoee, designate the Catholic- Question a religious one, forms a ] nrjiir.ent part of the work. And it closes with a kind of Ajjpendix, consisting of documents illustrative of cei-titiii outrageous proceed ings on the part of imLvidnais connected with that re- ligious society. The publication has already excited I much interest. The I'VIILFQIID RECATTA.-IT has been decided by the Managing Committee that the Milford Regatta shall he held this year, on Friday, the 14th of August, and Capt. the Hon. R. F. tireviile, and Capts.

The revival of these aquatic amusements at Miltord, cannot but. call up in -the minds of many recollections of the most,pleasing nature.

There being no admiralty vessel in port, the usual salute of cannon did not take place, a circumstance not likely to occur on any future occasion, for govtn'Rtrient has novv fully determined on fortifying this highly important Haven, and it is well known that where British-' guns are once planted, they are never backward, either in d'ispensink., :(leatit and destruction to thecommon enemy < in times of war, or in blazing forth demonstrations of genuine ioyaify in the more pleasing and "piping times of peace" The fortifications are to commence with the .repairs of tlie ojd;fort, ago, but never yet comple'ed, and situated in the most., eligible spot for the protection of the Dock-Yard. It is to mount J 2 guns, and to have a guard-house and powder magazine attached.

It appeared by the t evidence of a number of witnesses, that the deceased was about the age of 13 years, the son of a poor man, and had been supposed some time ago to "have taken sticks from the ..hedge, or trespassed :u-pon..the farm, of Hugh Jones, of Eskairwedan, in the parisho.f:-Towyn —thai while the boy was fishing, the said Hugh Jones seized him, and heat him so severely, that inflammation of the thigh and other parts of the body tonk place, and the boy died.

Jones is a very extensive farmer, and in good circum- stances. fc An accident happened at Pennal, hear Machynlleth on Friday se'nnight. A traveller had given his gig and horse in charge to the hostler, who, at the door of the public house; took the bridle off to feed the animal with a mouthful of hay while standing there. The horse ran off furiously for nearly two miles, and then 1. dropped down dead, shattering thegighy his fat!. Happily no person Was in the gig, nOr any one hurt it, K, v oi the road, although many men, women and children were passed. We mention this circumstance as a warn- ing: because any horse, however quiet in awheel car- riage, will run away if his bridle be til < n (off his head, as he then sees, and Is terrified at, the i tie; behind him, and becomes more and more tei i I at the continuing to follow after him. In this instance, it is prohalile that the animal was suffocated by his rapid and violent inspiration having drawn the uritnastseated ha.y into his windpipe. Curious RACE.-A match Was mitde between Row- land Jones and David Watkin, of Nei'to%A,ni Montgo- meryshire, the former to draw a gig from Newtown to Poot, 13 miles, and back again, and the latter engaged to start one hour after JoneSj and to walk the ground in less time.

About n idnight, after Yrost of letired tor. re!>t» they were alarmed by the sudden a^d fiightfui roaring of the torrent which passes down through the viHHge.

Just above the village there is ait;i)()lit om hundred yards wide, on the side of the river, which was strewed witti stones, evidently the of some former catastrophe like the present, although they had been partly covered with earth and grass. This place presented on Saturday a most curious.appearance, the 1) ilc tile oldtullJbJers had been dislodged, and were hurried down to and through the village, and were repracedhy many thousands of new comers from above, that act ually seemed like "a flock of sheep which go up from the washing, whereof every one beareth hviiW'' While these immense stones were on the move, tumbling and irolling over one another, the noise they made was dreadful, and the earth was literally felt to tremble for some distance from the river. At the entrance of the village, a smali angle of the river presented some little obstruction to the frightful march of those immense tumblers, and some of the having stopped, the water forced others over, and upon them, thereby forming a barrier which providentially saved a great portion of the village from being-swept away. One cottage in this direction, occupied by a poor widow, was actually tnrown down, and: every thing sw pt away and destroyed. In the next house the water was about 5 feet deep, and carried away several articles > furni- ture and clothing, with the poor cobier's stock.-—The season of the year in which it happened has caused a quantity of hay and eon to lie, several fields and ■•me idows being let pari !y covered witifstones an': grave!.

The course of the river towards the Conway, presents similar sc nes of devastation. Roe is only about three miles iistant from Conway, by a good road, j and the place is now vnlJ wurth the tourist's and stranger's while to visit. An avalanche in Switzerland is the only thing that the picture can be compared to. —It may be we| for travcdlers to be -.informed-that the high road from the village, of Bwlch-y-ddaufaen is • totally impassable, and it is doubtful whether it can J ver be restored in the saine line.—JVorlh — — ■■■■Ml ^0n ^nday''1'«'r'dng, about three o'clock, as the uperb ftearn packet was entering the lock of Cumber- ■ end basin, Bristol, one.»f the-.passengers (Major Ra- ven, u»-th regt.) i„. att-mptlr.g to jump ashore,' unfor- runately slipped between tte vessel and the w-H • he sunk immediately, and would have if C'ipt, bin lay son, who commands the Superb, had not JuoTned overboard, and seized Him by the hair of the head and safely fconveyed him on board, this is the fourth-person Cant.
