¿ CARDIGANSHIRE. WHO OUGHT TO PAY ?-In another part of our paper we have cursorily ebs rved on the enormous expense consequent upon the double return for the boroughs; and we here put it to the common honesty of the men of Car- digan, whether, in equity, Mr. Pryse ought to be saddled with the payment of costs (which, accordirig to the London papers, amounted to £ 1,200,) or whether the opponents of that hon. gentleiiiaii and tried friend of Civil and Religious freedom, ought to pay for proceedings which they themselves occasioned. To this question we think there can be but one answer. Of course, we do not contemplate any such act of justice on the part of the defeated Harfordites, but in equity and common fair- ness, they, we apprehend, ought to pay—there can, indeed, be no question of it. It is admitted, that on the llijjht of the election, Mr. Harford and his Cardigan Com- mittee received letters from the Aberystwith Committee, proving, that from the state of the Aberystwith Poll, Mr. Harford was in the minority upon the gross poll. We wi tr fo r d was in the minoric r iiis committee I on the niglit repeat, that Mr. Harford and his committee, on the night of the election, had such information of the state of the Aberystwith Poll, that had it tol.dfur them, they would not have hesitated to risk their lives and fortunes upon its correctness—and yet, knowing all this, they must next day insist upon Mr. Harford being returned! This was done wantonly in the face of such information. Who then ought to pay the Twelve Hundred Pounds? In fairness, we think the fel1ow who fiddled ought to pay the piper-but that is not precisely the practice of such people. ODD FELLOWS—Two lodges of Odd Fellows were opened last week, in the neighbourhood of Aberystwith. The first at Talybont, in the house of the Rev. Owen Owens, Baptist Minister, called the Prince of Wales' Lodge, The second at Aberystwith, at the house of Mr. William Keeling, Market-s-reet. This last lodge is called the Rhydol Lodge. About 60 brethren on this occasion sat down toa substantial supper, at Mr. Keeling's Deputy Grand Master Rowlands, in the Chair, and C. S. Tyler, Vice. At the Aberystwith Cattle Fair, on Saturday last, there was a good show of cattle, and they fetched very good prices. These prices were kept up and perhaps a fittle advanced at the Machynlleth fair last Monday. TIVY-SIDE AGRICULTURAL ASSOCIATION.— As we take much interest in every thing connected with the improvement of agriculture, we regret that the account of the annual shew meeting of the above association held at Newcastle-Emlyn last month, did not reach us until yesterday I It 111 of course stale now and unfit for publication in our columns.
