I DRECONSIIIUE. SHIRE-HALL, BRECON—SATURDAY.—Before John Lloyd, Esq., and Wm. De Winton, Esq. Jo/:a Chy, (an incorri- gible,) who has been several times convicted and imprisoned for ill usuage to his mother, was again brought up in custody of the police. Mrs. Clay stated that immediately upon her son's last discharge from prison, he came home where he had remained ever since. She could not get him to do any work, and lie was continually obtaining sums of money from her by threats of violence. On Thursday last, he demanded a further sum of £ 5 from her, threatening in case of refusal, to do for her. She was obliged to borrow the £ 5 in order to keep him quiet, and he went to Brecon, where he spent the money in dissipation. She further stated that it was impossible for her to continue carrying on the farm any longer, and she would be compelled to go to live at Brecon in order to have protection. The prisoner was committed to the Quarter Sessions in default of sureties. Before Walter Maybery and Capel Miers, Esqrs. Mecs Evans, of the Hamlet of Senny, labourer, was brought up in the custody of the parish con- stable, charged with running away and leaving his wife and family chargeable to the parish. From the evidence of Mr. Roger Havard, one of the parish officers, it appeared that the prisoner and his family had some time since been removed by a justice's order to a parish in Cardiganshire,Jbut that:they had again returned, and the prisoner had now left his family chargeable. He was apprehended at Ystradgunlais, where he earned a guinea a week, which he spent upou himself. Com mitted to the House of Correction for a month. The warrant was directed not to be put in force in case the prisoner took his family and went away on Monday. BRECON PETTY SESSIONS. Monday. Before Mordecai Jones, Esq., and John Evans, Esq. Ann Williams, a married woman, was charged by Margaret Evans, with having on S?,aturdav the 4th inst., violently assaulted her. Complainant stated that on the day named, a quarrel arose between the children of defendant and her own, and while she was endea- vouring to establish a peaceable arrangement between the offending parties, defendant made her appearance, and fired a volley of abuse at her. Plaintiff then walked away without even returning a word, assuring the bench that although her feelings were "dreadfully wounded at the severe shock she had sustained, and although her magazine was at the time in excellent order, she scorned the idea of wounding an enemy," and in return for such a marked display of coolness and dis- cretion defendant at a subsequent meeting on the same day, struck her severely in the face, for which she then sought recompense at the" worthy magistrates hands. Mr. Bishop who appeared for the defendant reminded the complainant, that previous to the affray she might have insulted the de- fendant by calling her a long list of unwarrantable and un- mentionable names, enough to arouse the ire and feeling of any British subject and that this was the cause of the assault. Defendant upon being hard pressed, admitted that such was the case. Their worships thought that there was fault on both parties, and decided that they should pay ex- penses between them. Peter Burns was summoned by Bridget Burns his wife, for assaulting her; defendant did not appear, and a warrant for his apprehension was issued. Thomas Waters was charged with being drunk and disorderly, the charge was proved by P. C. Watkins, and a warrant to appre- hend the defendant who did not appear, was issued. David Thompson and John Thompson were charged with the like offence and were ordered to be apprehended. A complaint was made by the Superintendent of Police to the magistrates that his men frequently reported public houses all quiet and closed, and at the same time they were allowing parties to remain drinking until a late hour. On Saturday night last he visited their rounds and saw parties coming from houses on Sunday morning in a state of intoxication. Tuesday—Before Mordecai Jones, Esq., mayor. John Smith was sentenced to 14 days hard labour for an act of vagrancy. BREco .-On Wednesday night last a farewell supper took place at the Sun Inn in this town, on the occasion of the de- parture of Messrs. Rosser and Morgan, two young men, clerks in the establishment of Messrs. Maybery, and Co., for London, and who have engaged themselves to Messrs. Peto and Co., the eminent railway contractors. About twenty friends sat. down, Mr. William Williams, managing clerk to Messrs. Maybery and Co., took the chair, and Mr. Ormond Stonehewer acted as vice-chairman on the occasion. A most excellent repast was served up in Mr. Fryer's well known style, and after a lengthy and pleasantly spent evening, enlivened by some excellent singing, the company separated.

GLAMOltG ANSIIIRE. NEATIl.-Tke journeymen shoemakers have struck for an increase of wages, and have also issued a printed manifesto, signed by the United Society of Cordwainers, stating their grievances. NEATH POLICE.—CHARGE OF CHILD Atupi)rp.On Satur- day last, before C. Warde, Esq.-Ilaiinili Jones, otherwise called Ann Jones, was brought up in custody, on the suspi- cion of having murdered a now-born infant. Thomas Jones, police sergeant, deposed to having, on the 20th of January, found the dead body of a child under an arch, near the bank of the canal, (under circumstances detailed at the time in the f,Velskiiia)i.) An inquest was held on the body, when the jury returned a verdict of Wilful murder against some person or persons unknown." It being suspected that the clothing of the child belonged to some union workhouse, the witness for- warded a description of it to the various workhouses in the district. In consequence of a communication from the work- house at Llanelly, he visited that place, and showed the clothes found on the body of the deceased child to the nurse, who identified some of the articles, and said that she had made them for the child of the prisoner, who, while in the union, had gone under the name of Ann Jones. On Thursday last witness apprehended the prisoner at Maesteg. He found her in bed with her husband. He charged her with having murdered her child. She replied that she had not murdered it, but that after leaving the Llanelly Union, she proceeded on her road to Carmarthen, and placed it on the step of the d,,or of a person at Pensarn; that on her return she lodged one night at Kidwelly, at the house of an old woman who sold beer, it being then fair day that she came to Swansea, walked thence to Briton-ferry, over the Crvmlin Burrows that on her way she called at the farm of Bowen, in whose sorYlce she had formerly been, and went from thence to Maes- teg, which she reached the same evening. It further appeared that the prisoner's husband had been for some years in parts of Turkey in Asia, and that the child had been born just before his return. She had found her way to Llanelly Union in consequence of having been taken in pains while on the road near that place. Elizabeth Davies, nurse of the Llan- ellv workhouse, deposed to having attended the prisoner during her confinement. She had given her name as Ann Jones° Witness had assisted her in making a binder" for the baby. She could identify that produced by the policeman as being the one he made. (This was the article found on the dead child's body.) She also believed the shirt to be one that the prisoner had from the Lnion, but she was not quite so sure as to "that. The other 'Clothes found on deceased were similar. David Skerry, a policeman in the Carmarthenshire force, produced the clothes in which the child was dressed who was found at the door, or in the garden of a man named Richards, at Pensarn. They were of the same description of articles, aud very similar to those sworn to by the nurse, which were found on the body of the deceased child. The officer had lately seen the child found at Pensarn, in Carmarthen. It was alive and well. From further inquiry it clearly appeared that the nurse had been mistaken, and that the clothes sup- plied to the prisoner, at the Llanelly workhouse, were tlvose found on the child at Pensarn, and not those on the dead child, and that the former was the prisoner's child. It is a most singular coincidence that tiie body of the deceased child was found on the day of Kidwelly fair, and that on Jones' way home through Briton-ferry, as stated by herself, she was not very distant from the place in which thc body was found. The prisoner was dismissed on this charge, but Skerry took her into custody oil that of abandoning her child.—The govern- ment had offered a reward of zC.50 for the discovery of the person who murdered the other child.-Before H. E. Evans, Esq. Henry Morris, charged with wilfully breaking the window of Mary Turpin, baker, of Aberavou, was fined 9s. I including- costs, and in default was committed for 21 days. -On Monday, Thomas Lake was charged with damaging a door, the property of Thomas Owen.—Case dismissed.—Wm. Harris, of Ystradgunlais, was charged with having embezzled certain moneys, the property of his employer, Mr. Robert Evans, Pontardawe brewery. No evidence having been offered on the part of the prosecution, the prisoner was dis- charged.—Jeremiah Chesley, charged with having deserted the service of Henry Langley, a farmer at Llangyfelach, without notice, was discharged on undertaking to return. MERTHYR.—LOCAL BOARD OF HEALTH.—A meeting of this board was held on Monday last. There were present-Messrs. R. T. Crawshay, chairman, C. H. James, Overton, David Evans, John Evans, WilliaruEvans, Rosser, Bryant, Thomson, Morgan, and Lewis. The reports of the surveyor and inspector of nuisances were read, and orders for the removal of nuisances were made, in accordance with the inspector's suggestion. The committee appointed to inspect the works recently done at Dowlais, in repairing streets and pavements, &c., were divided—two gentlemen approving of the manner in which theg were executed, with few exceptions, and the other four gentlemen strongly condemning it: upon which Mr. Thomson moved, and Mr. David Evans seconded That after hearing the several reports of the committee, as also their individual remarks, the board considers that some of the work has been done inefficiently, and that the surveyor has not paid such attention as lie should have done, and therefore recom- mend most strongly that more care and attention be paid by him in future notice to the owners of property in Cross- street and Castle-street, Glebeland, were ordered to pave and channel in front of their respective houses. The collector was allowed a person to assist him in collecting the rates to be paid at the rate of a guinea per week for the actual time occupied in the collection, two members of the board retire in March next by reason of effluxion of time; and three others were ballottcd for to retire. The three upon whom the ballot fell were Messrs. John Evans, W. Thomson and Lewis Lewis. Several bills were ordered to be paid, and the meeting adjourned. INQUEST HELD BY GEORGE OVERTON, ESQ., CORONER.— On the 20th inst., at the Black Lion, Aberdarc, on the body of Margaret Jones, aged nine weeks, who was found dead in bed on the morning of the 17th.—Verdict, Died by the visitation of God." MERTHYR. TEMPERANCE MEETING.—Thomas Hudson, Esq., formerly of Bristol, delivered two lectures in the Temperance Hall, on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings, the 15th and 16th inst., on this subject. The first was presided over by the sti- pendious magistrate J. C. Fowler, Esq., and the latter by the Rev. J. C. Campbell, M. A., rector. At the conclusion Mr. Fowler corroborated the facts alluded to by the lecturer, and Mr. Superintendent Wrenn got up on the platform, amidst the applause of the audience. After having gone through a list of 23 prisoners (from this town) to be tried at Cardiff this week, he remarked that the whole, except two or three, committed their crimes, either under the influence of intox- icating drinks, or in some way or other in connexion with them. He strongly recommended a Concert to be held every ot1"rlnTr MERTHYR POLICE, WEDNESDAY.—Before J. C. Fowler, and W. Thomas, Esqrs.—John Jones, a juvenile, was committed as a rouge and vagabond, being in the habit of frequenting the square and the market, for the purpose of picking pockets. Their worships thought three months schooling in Swansea House of Correction, with a spice of hard labour would do him some good, without any loss'to his former neighbours.—Ben- jamin Jones, labourer, was also convicted as a rogue and vaga- bond under the vagrancy act, for being found in the stable of Mr. William Powell, Penyrheol, Merthyr, with a view of committing a nameless offence. He was committed to Swan- sea House of Correction for three months, with hard labour. Catherine Donavan was ordered to pay Ms. compensation for damaging a shed belonging to Mr. William Kisson. and 8s. costs. In default to be imprisoned for one month in Swansea House of Correction, with hard labour.

TAFF VALE RAILWAY".—The half-yearly meeting of this company was held at Bristol on Friday last; Mr. Walter Coffin, M.P., presiding. The Secretary, Mr. Kenway, read the report, which stated that the balance allowed the directors to declare a dividend at the rate of 7 j pcr cent, per annum on the stock of the company for the half-year payable on the 7th day of March next, with a dividend in the same proportion on the preference stock X 0- 1, and on the amount called up on £ 10 shares. The accounts for the half-year exhibited a higher rate than usual for the working charges, a difference which is to be attributed, not only to an increase of wages, but also to the very greatly augmented price of all articles of consump- tion. The junction between the South Wales and Taff Vale Railways will soon be ready. The directors have entered into an agreeniant for a lease with the directors of the Waggon Company for waggon stock, and have also made other neces- sary arrangements with them. By these means the directors will be enabled to afford the freighters an extended accommo- dation for their tratHc upon the railway. The Chairman, in moving the adoption of the report, said, he felt great pleasure in assuring the shareholders that the views of the directors as to the prospects and future prosperity of the company remained undiminished. At the same time they could not conceal from themselves that the present great depreciation of money with the increase in the price of all materials and labour had di- minished greatly that increase in their dividend which, at their last half-yearly meeting, they all had a right to expect. The adoption of the report was then secondcJ. and carried. Mr. Hutchins objected to the policy of increasing their divi- dend. lIe was, lie believed, the largest proprietor, and in no way a freighter over the line he could, therefore, speak with- out prejudice. lIe objected to their increasing the dividend to 71 per cent, as they had done, and thought it would be bet- ter to divide 7l per cent. The dividend, as recommended, was then declared, and a vote of thanks to the chairman ter- minated the proceedings. NEATH PETTY SESSIONS.—On Friday last, before Itees Morgan (Mayor), II. E. Evans, C. Ward, and G. Llewellyn, Esqrs.—J/r. Jenkin Savours was summoned by superintendent Wormnn, for permitting drunkenness in the taproom attached to his house. Although the defendant's name was in the summons, it appeared that the tap was under the control of a Mrs. Thomas. In support of the charge, a person named Hill, whom the police had taken into custody for being disorderly, was called, and deposed to having vistcd the tap at various hours of the day, partaking each time of potations of several pints of beer and glasses of rum. After partaking of 13 pints of ale, besides the rum, he felt himself overcome (laughter). On the part of the defendant it was shewn that the place was not actually open to customers at the late hours stated, but the door was opened for the admittance of a lodger named Randall, who was out late, and the witness Hill and other, took advantage of the opportunity and rushed into the rooms but Mrs. Thomas declined serving them. The case was dis- missed.

According to advicps from Albania to the middle of Feb- ruary, the insurrection is increasing, bands of armed men go from village to village, urging the inhabitants to rise, arms and amunition are distributed gratis, and the Turks every- where take to flight. The Pacha of Janina has withdrawn the troops from the town to the Citadel. Inliamatory proclamations are distributed in great numbers. On the Nth and 9th inst., a revolutionary movement occurred at Salonica, but the Turkish troop s attacked the insurgents at the point of the bayonet, and seized the ringleaders. Since then the public tranquillity had not been disturbed. The Greek Government has nothing whatever to do with the movement. The French squadron in the Black Sea is to be reinforced by five ships of the line. Numerous detachments of troops are constantly on the move to the South of Franco. The rumour of an offensive and defensive treaty between France and Switzerland is contradicted. HOUSE OF LORDS.—THURSDAY, FED. 23. ,I.. incir Liordsnips met at o o clock. Lord Brougham brought in a bill to extend the jurisdiction of County Courts in respect to what is called the optional" clause. The bill was read a first time. In answer to the Earl of Derby, The Earl of Aberdeen declined to pledge himself on the part of the Government to lay their plan for the reform of the University of Oxford, before the Convocation, previously to its being submitted to parliament. The Duke of Newcastle, in answer to the Earl of Cardigan, said it had been found impossible to obtain sufficient steam tonnage to convey Cavalry to the East along with the In- fantry, but the difficulty would be obviated as far as possible by the transports being taken in tow by steamers. In reply to the Earl of Desart, The Duke of Newcastle said troops had been withdrawn from four of the smaller West India Islands—but efficient arrangements had been made for their protection. After a few words from Earl Grey and Earl Eglin, the sub- ject dropped. The House adjourned at seven o'clock.

HOUSE OF COMMONS —THURSDAY, FEB. 23- The house met at four o'clock. Sir J. Walsh gave notice that on going into supply on Mi- litary Estimates he should call the attention of the house to the inadequacy of our military establishments in relation to the war on which we were about to enter. In answer to Mr. French, Lord J. Russell said, an agreement made with France in reference to the aid to be afforded to Turkey did not include the allies of Turkey. In reply to Mr. Horsfall, Lord J. Russell said, that the policy to be pursued by this country towards neutral powers with respect to privateers was under anxious consideration. That the subject was one of much difficulty, from the difference of policy adopted by dif- ferent power., on this subject, but every care would be taken to avoid acting hostility with reference to the interests of neu- tral powers. Mr. Grogan moved for a select committee to enquire into the grants of the Dublin hospital, and urged the necessity of re-continuance of the grant originally made for their support. Mr. Wilson protested against the way iu which the motion was brought forward, but was willing to agree to the motion itself. After some observations from Mr. Vance, Mr. J. O'Connel and other members, the motion was agreed to. On the motion of Mr. Olivier, a select committee was ap- pointed to consider the state of the metropolitan bridges. Sir B. Hall protested against the public being taxed for payment of encumbrances on toll paying bridges. Sir William Moles worth assented to the motion, which after some discussion was agreed to. The Lord Advocate moved for leave to bring in a bill to make further provision for the education of the people of Scot- land. He dwelt forcibly on the vast amount of ignorance, and consequently depravity and vice prevalent amongst a certain portion of the population of Scotland. Education ought not to be left to voluntary exertions—it was a state duty. One of the objects of the bill would be a general system of school in- struction. It was deemed essential to make an educational survey, so as to supply a complete description of education in Scotland, and which might be continued from year to year and thus show parliament and the nation to what extent the legislature had done its duty to the rising generation. He detailed the provisioiv of the bill—the establishment of schools, salaries of schoolmasters, &e. Ho wished for uniformity in the educational system in Scotland to be preserved, salaries of schoolmasters would be increased to X50 with increased accommodation He was a decided opponent to the secular system. No system that shut out religion would for a moment meet the approval of the people of Scotland. The bill provided that while religious instruction should be given in parochiai schools, no violence should be offered to the conscience of children or their parents—educational rate would be levied to be applied by a general board—members of every denomina- tion would have a claim in a rateable proportion to the num- ber of schools, to the general fiiml Tfn ""— 1.1. Ir. IIume approved generally of the bill, while differing in some respects from the views of the Lord Advocate on secular education. He felt deep obligation to the Government for bringing in the bill. Mr. Stirling could not concur in certain features of the bill, relating more particularly to presbytery. Mr. Eliioe was sure the measure would be acceptable to the feelings of the people of Scotland. Mr. Gumming Bruce thought it extraordinary that Go- vernment should bring in a bill for promulgating educating in Scotland, where the want of education was least felt, he should reserve his opinion for the present, but entirely agreed however on the necessity of combining religious with secular education. j Mr. Cowan maintained the necessity of a change in the educational system, and believed tho speech of the Lord Advocate would be hailed with gratitude by the people of Scotland. I Mr. Scott considered no cause was shown for the magnitude of the measure, he objected to various provisions of the bill. Mr. Laing and Mr. "Arthur Keinnaird approved of the bill. Mr. Walpolo doubted the propriety of breaking off the connection of the parochial school system from presbytery, and putting schools under a general board. The proposed educational rate was a national measure, and merited the highest consideration. Lord Russell congratulated the Lord Advocate. He ex- plained the object of the bill as affecting religious instructions in schools, and should be sorry if the established Church threw any obstableto this scheme, from the carrying out of which he anticipated great benefit. Mr. Newuegate briefly opposed the bill. After some re- marks from Mr. Hastic, and Nir. Dunlop. The Lord Advocate sincerely thanked the house for the receation given to the bill, and briefly replied to observations made upon some of its provisions. Leave was given to bring in a bill. Sir J. Young moved for leave to bring in a bill to amend the act relating to valuation of rateable property in Ireland I provisos of which he explained. Mr. Evelyn moved for select committee to enquire into alli- gations of a petition from certain (until lately) registered voters of the W estern Division of Surry. The petition referred to the striking off of a great number of electors from the regis- tration list through non-delivery by the post office authorities. Mr. Wilson said, unless lull explanation were offered by the post oliice authorities, Government would grant a Com- mittee. Mr. Walpole thought a great constitutional principle was involved as such neglect was iar from rare. Mr. Gladstone thought it would be better to postpone the motion until an explanation could be given by t:w post oaice authorities, He should oppose t:w luotiou.'lA'fter some further conversation, Mr. Evelyn withdrew hi motion on the under- standing that a searching examination^should take place. The house adjourned at half-past ten.

GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY. The half-yearly meeting of this company was held on Wednesday at the railway station, Paddington, for the pur- pose of electing three directors, and for other ordinary busi- iiess the meeting was also convened specially to consider, and, if approved, to adopt and confirm the further agreement entered into with the Shrewsbury and Chester Railway Com- pany, dated the 28th of September, 1853, for the amalgama- tion of these two companies with the Great Western Railway upon the terms therein contained. Mr. C Russell, the chair- man. of the company, presided. The report was unanimously adopted; and a dividend at the rate of 4 per cent, per annum for the half-year was declared. Mr. E. Harper was appointed auditor in the room of Mr. J. Dickenson, resigned. Mr. S. Baker, Captain T. Bulkeley, and Mr. C. Russell were re-clected directors. The Chairman, in returning thanks for the re-election of the retiring directors, and the confidence reposed in them, was received with considerable applause. The sum of £ 150,000 was voted for additional working stock, and £ lo0,000 for additional station accommodation. The meeting was then made special, and the agreement entered into with the Shrewsbury and Chester and Shrews- bury and Birmingham Companies for an amalgamation with the Greitt Western Company was approved and adopted un- animously and the directors were authorized to take the necessary steps for carrying the same into effect. The proceedings concluded with a cordial vote of thanks to the chairman and directors.

EMUARCATION or TROOPS. The 2nd battalion of the Coldstream and the 3rd of the Grenadier Guards, comprising 1700 men and 7 > officers, embarked on Wednesday at Soutli- ampton, for Malta. The 28th regiment of 850 men, embarked on the same day at Liverpool. The greatest enthusiasm animated the troops, who were loudly cheered at each port on their departure.

That your Petitions have heard with surprise and re ret that the Town Council of the Borough of Carmarthen and some other parties are about to Petition your Honourable House against the said Railway, on the ground that the said Railway as planned by its projectors ought to have been taken through the Borough of Carmarthen instead of outside of it, as they consider that it will thereby not do them so much good as if it went immediately through their town. And further they allege that it v.-ill do injury to the adjacent vil- lage of Abergwilly and the Bishop's Palace, and lauds there, by ponding up and raising the level of the iioods there. That your Petitioners would have no objection to the s ud Railway being taken through the Town of Carm irthen, or any other place if it did not lengthen the distance, which your Petitioners would have to send their various eo nui '.lL- ties to their respective dcstinaèions; and further as to so many of your Petitioners as are subscribed to the said Railway, if the cost of construction aud of working the said Railway afterwards should not be thereby materially increased. But as your Petitioners have no immediate connexion with the Town of Carmarthen, they trust your Honourable House will not insist upon the line of the proposed Railway, being changed merely to suit the convenience of the Townspeople of Carmarthen, who might make a Branch Railway of their own out of the said proposed Railway or out of the South Wales Railway, if they consider it desirable for their interests, without compelling other people to do it for them at what your Petitioners believe would be a great aud comparatively unprofitable expense. That as to anv injury being likely to accrue to Abcrgwilly and the said Bishop's Palace, in the manner alleged by the opponents of the Railway, Your Petitioners beg to inform your Honorable House that the River Towev flows through a Wide Vallev, which is nearly on a dead level for about f na- miles above the Old Bridge, and the New Rail way Bridge of the South Wales Railway Company at Carniartlier, that the said Village of Abcrgwilly, and the said Bishop's i'ala■•<.», are situate on the side of the said Valley, about tne middle of the said four miles. That the said valley is frequently flooded for a Week or more at a time, to a depth of from three to possibly four or more feet, which covers the major part oftlie be tore mentioned four miles of valley to a pretty uniform depth over its whol extent, and frequently iloods the said Village and Palace. But your Petitioners feel that the opponents of the proposed Railway must have discovered some hitherto unknown pro- perty of water, if under the circumstances of the case any Railway Bridge over the Towy within three quarter's of a mile above the Old Bridge, and having a sectional area of opening larger than the sectional area of the ageregate open- ings of the said Old Bridge, added to the sectional an a of any Hood-water which may escape by flooding across the Turnpike Road, with its embankments at, the end of the s-tid Old Bridge, or of the sectional area of the openings of the South Wales Railway Bridge below it can affect the floodwater of the said river Tow, so as in any way to pond it up or raise it in any part of the aforesaid four miles of valley to a higher level than it is now ponded up and.raised by the said Old Bridge at Car- marthen, or the said South Wales Railway Bridge below it. Your Petitioners therefore pray your HOll. House to pass with as little delay as possible the Bill for making the said pioA posed Railway from the said station of the South Wales ij, TU ■ 1. i —-
