The Welshman

CARDIGANSHIRE. I LLANBADARN.—SPECIA.L PETTY SESSIONS.—These sessions were held at the Black Lion Inn, before T. O. Morgan, Esq and Lewis Pugh, Esq. William Jackson and Edward Thompson, tramps, were charged with stealing two shirts from off a hedge at Frongoehfaeh in the township of Yaynor Upper, on the 7th inst the property of James Pierce.—Elizabeth Davies examined: I live at Frongochfach, and am the wife of James Pierce. On Friday last, about seven o'clock, I placed some clothes out on a hedge to dry. I placed them on the hedge opposite the house. About eight o'clock I saw them safe as I was leaving to go to the town. I re- turned about twelve o'clock and observed the clothes and missed two calico shirts. I gave information to P.C. Evans, at Bow-street. The two shirts now pro- duced are the property of my husband. I know them from my own mark. The value of them is 3s 6d. p.Q Evan Evans examined I am stationed at Bow-street. On Friday last, the 7th inst., 1 apprehended the prisoners at Machynlleth. 1 found one shitt, now produced, upon the prisoner William Jackson, and one upon the prisoner Edward Thompson. 1 charged them with stealing the shirts, when Jackson made no reply, but Thompson stated that he had it in his possession for some tirne.- The prisoners pleaded guilty, and were sentenced to one calendar month, with hard labour. ABEHYSTWITH,-MISS W ATTS.-This celebrated young woman, who won the scholarship at the Swansea Eisteddfod, and who has distinguished herself in the London concerts and academies, is now taking a tour through North Wales, and her simplicity, power, and originality as a singer, take every audiencc by storm. It is reported that she will visit this place in a few weeks, the Aberystwith Harmonic Society having made arrangements so as to give this talented young person a grand reception. Miss Watts, we understand, is one of the persons engaged to perform at the Eisteddfod. THE EISTEDDFOD.—We are informed that Mr John Rhydwen Jones, of Rhyl, the contractor for erecting the Pavilion, will in a short time proceed with its erection on the Marsh, near the Town Hall. The Council will also meet in a few weeks to complete the necessary arrangements for carrying out the proceed- ings of the forthcoming Eisteddfod. Some of the Welsh papers complain that not sufficient publicity is given to the Aberystwith Eisteddfod. THE ELECTION.—This town was all of an uproar on Tuesday last, while the polling was going on at the Town Hall, the crowd being immensely large. Many a skirmish took place, which nearly ended in a squabble, and had it not been for the sixty special constables which were appointed, all of whom carried weapons with them, probably we should have had some terrible fights. Everything passed off without any serious breach of the peace. THE COUNTY COURT—The county court for this month was held on Friday, before A. J. Johnes, Esq., judge. The number of plaints entered was very small, as the June court was held so recently. We do not remember having seen a court before without some of the professional men being present. On this occasion the attorneys were all absent, canvassing for the election, except Mr Rowe, who just called and was off again. Mr John Williams, of the firm of Williams, Hughes, and Co., coal merchants, attended to prove the claims against some forty-five or fifty persons who owed the Company various sums for coals. The Judge gave Mr Williams a warning not to be so late attend- ing the court in future, as some of the cases had been called and struck out before he arrived; the election was taken as a valid excuse. I)aniel James v. Thomas Parry and William Parry.-The plaintiff at a former court failed to prove his claim against the defendants, and afterwards applied for a new trial, which was granted and which was to come on at this court. The plaintiff came to the court with his witnesses prepared to try the case, when he found that the defendants had that morning paid the amount claimed into court but he being not satisfied with the conduct of the de- fendants bringing him and his witnesses to town and then paying the money on the morning of the court, applied to the Judge for the costs of himself and witnesses, and his Honor awarded the sum of £:1 9s in addition to the amount paid into court by the de- fendants. Jones v. Williams and Aitotlie),The plaintiff, David Jones, of Tycoed, Gwnnws, brought an action against Catherine Williams and Margaret Williams, of Dolgwyddau. Lledrod, to recover the sum of £1 7s 6d, being the rent of a cottage and garden, due on the 12th of May. 1803. Plaintiff proved that the sum claimed was the balance of rent due to him from the defendants, he having received part on account from the defendant Margaret Williams. Judgment for plaintiff for claim.—Mr Thomas Howells, of this town, grocer, obtained an order for commitment against Morgan Griffiths, of Bryndu, carrier, and the business of the court termiaated,

BRECONSHIRE. I BRECON.—BOROUGH PETTY SESSIONS.—There ses. sions were held on Monday, before G. Causick, Esq., mayor, and J. Joseph, Esq. The case of Mr Hall against the local board of health, for non-repairs of a. highway, was again adjourned.—Margaret Reeshorse, a woman of ill repute, charged George Jones, with as- saulting her. The depositions were unfit for publica- tion, and defendant was fined £ 1 and costs.—Mr T. Chandler Perks, high bailiff, was summoned for non- payment of poor rates. Mr Games appeared for the defendant, pleading" that his client had no beneficial occupation, that the house in question was vacant, and that his client had not entered into possession. Mr Hall, assistant overseer, stated that Mr Perks had furni- ture in the house in question, and had been in the habit of taking two meals in it a day. Mr Graves If you say that the case must be fully gone into. The Local Board of Health requiring the court room, the case was adjourned for a week. THE BOARD OF HEALTH.—A meeting of this body was held on Monday, at the Town Hall. Present— Geo. Causick, Esq. (mayor), Alderman Col. Pearce, K.H., and Councillors J. Morris, Wm. de Winton, T. Williams. John Prothero, Thos. Trew, John Davies, Lewis Hughes, John Griffiths, and Philip Bright. The minutes of the last meeting having been read, some conversation ensued with regard to the sureties of one of the contractors for the new water works. The sureties were not deemed satisfactory, and Mr Prothero proposed that the tenders oi Mr Jordon, Messrs Guest and Chimes, and Messrs Ritson and Davies be provisionally accepted, provided they comply with the form of the tenders.—Mr Griffiths seconded Mr Prothero's motion, and suggested that the Town Clerk be empowered to apply to the proper authorities for the loan of a further sum of el,300, which would bring the amount borrowed for the con- struction of the works up to £ 6,300.—Mr Bright moved as an amendment, that the Board shouldnot sanction the expenditure for the works of more than ZG,000, and as the tenders sent in exceeded that amount, that the plans should be referred back to the engineer, for the purpose of seeing whether a further reduction could not be made,—a reduction bringing the contemplated expenditure within £ 6,000.— Mr Thomas Williams seconded the amendment, which was carried, and the Board adjourned to Monday next. RE-ELECTION OF THE HON. GODFREY MORGAN AS MEMBER FOR THE COUNTY.-The nomination of this gentleman took place on Tuesday, at the Shire Hall. He was unopposed, and in thanking the electors for their choice, he said this was the third time he had been re-elected, and without opposition. And he thought he might safely infer from that, that neither he nor Conservatism was distasteful to them. He thought he might infer from it also that they were still proud of the great and glorious constitution, under which they had lived and had reaped such benefit, and did not ask to change it. He could not see in what the Liberals had done anything which a Conservative Government could not have done, and perhaps better. He thought the Liberals were trading on Lord Pal- merston's great name. He had censured the foreign policy of the Government, because he thought it had humiliated the country, and he was in favonr of complete neutrality & non-interference. It had been said that the Conservatives would be unable to stop the progress that was going on but the Conserva- tives had no disposition to stop any real and sub- stantial progress. He did not think the time had come for the lowering of the franchise. Hundreds were perhaps competent to exercise the franchise, but he would not begin by going so low as (-16. The Union Chargeability Bill had become an Act of Par- liament but he had voted to refer it to a select committee, because he thought it had been hurried on. After some further observations the hon. gentle- man resumed his seat amid applause. Having been declared duly elected, the proceedings terminated. BUILTH.—PETTY SESSIONS.—Before T. Williams, Esq., and R. Woosnam, Esq. Richard Jones, farm servant, Llanwrtyd, was summoned, charged with riding without reins on the highway, Llanwrtyd, on the 26th ult. Fined 5s and costs. His master appeared and paid.—William Powell, Cwrta, beerhouse-keeper, appeared to a summons charged with being drunk and riotous in Builth, on the 27th ult. Fined 5s and costs. -John Jones, farmer, of Gelynin, Llangunog, was summoned, but did not appear, charged by the Overseer with non-payment of poor-rates. Ordered to pay in a a fortnight or a distress warrant to be issued. Be- fore J. Vaughan, Esq. Henry Miller, a tramp, from Calcutta, was brought up in custody of P.S. Flyre, charged with vagrancy in Builth. From the evidence it appeared that the prisoner had been beging about the town, and when people refused to give him any- thing he had taken out a knife and threatened them. Committed for fourteen days' hard labour.Before H. G. Howell, Esq., J. Vaughan, Esq., and R. Woosnam, Esq. Thomas Pollard, a tramping navvie, was brought up in custody of P.U. Evans, charged with stealing a waistcoat, value 18s, from the huts, at the Sugar Loaf, Llanwrtyd, on the Cth iust., which he sold to Thomas Pritchard, at the Nantmelin beerhouse, Llanwrtyd, for 8s 6d. Committed to the Brecon Assizes for trial.— William Bayhis, navvie, was brought up in custody of P.S. Flye, charged with drunkenness in Builth, on Sunday morning last. Fined 5s and costs. RHAYADER.—PETTY SESSIONS.—These sessions were held on the 5th instant, before T. L. Lloyd, Esq,, G. Philips, Esq., and-Lingen Esq.—Evan Edwards, tailor, Rhayader, was summoned by P.C. Bore for being drunk and disorderly. This being his first offence, the Bench were disposed to let him off, had he not come into court rather the worse for liquor. Fined 5s and 14s costs.—David Burnett, Thomas Evans, Rees Ed- wards Rice Homer, and Thos Parry, were summoned by P.O. Bore for cock fighting, at three o'clock on Sunday morning, June 18th, in a field near the Rail- way Station. Defendants, who retained Mr Cheese, did not deny being present, but said that they were passing by, and seeing the cocks fighting merely stood to look on. The policeman swore that he saw them handling the cocks and encouraging them. Mr Lingen thought the policeman should shut his eyes sometimes and not see every little thing, and defend- ants being cautioned, were discharged on payment of costs, which amounted to 17s Gd, or 3s 6d each. LECTURE.—On Inday evening last a lecture was delivered in Cwmdauddwr school room, in behalf of the society for employing additional curates in popu- lous places. Captain Prickard, occupied the chair. The lecturer was the Hev d. H. Jowitt, M.A., travellin g secretary, 'yho had been lecturing and preaching for the society in various places during the past week. He gave the details of what the society had done among the dense populations of the metropolis, in the factory districts, and amongst the colliers and miners; illus- trating his subject by a series of large pictures, and shewed what a large amount of work yet remained to be done. The lecture throughout was most interesting and was listened to with the greatest attention. At the close, the Rev W. Prickard, vicar of Rhayader, in a few appropriate remarks, proposed a vote of thanks to the lecturer; „which^ was seconded by the Rev J. S. Thirlwall, vicar of Nantmel and rural dean, who gave a short account of the sermons and lectures which had been delivered by Mr Jowitt during the week. The Rev W. Williams, the vicar of Cwmnaudwr, in pro- posing a vote of thanks to the chairman, spoke of the pleasure he felt in seeing laymen amongst them, as- sisting in the work, which by many was suppofed to belong only to the clergy. The proposition was seconded by the Rev J. Denny, curate of Rhayader. A. collection was then made on behalf of the society, which amounted, notwithstanding the smallness of the audience, to £ 3 18s 6d. Several ladies present gave in their names as willing to become local collectors, and were furnished with collecting boxes for the purpose.

THE GENERAL ELECTION. I A second Conservative, Mr Graves, has been returned for Liverpool, in the place of Mr J. E wart. Knaresborough has demonstrated the use of small boroughs by neutra- lizing that great defeat. The Manchester Radicals do not seem particularly well organised. They have complete control of the borough, but has nevertheless contrived to lose the second seat. They split on the rival claims of Mr Abel Heywood, an extreme man of a vulgar school, and Mr Jacob Bright, a candidate nearly of the Molesworth type, a hard, cold, but thoughtful democrat, who be. lieves, or at least says, the will of a majority is law. Consequently Mr E. James, Q.C., leader of the Northern circuit, a moderate but trustworthy Liberal, and a very able man, offered himself, and was carried by the Con- servate vote into the second seat, a result not in itself to be regretted, but indicating the party anarchy now prevailing in Manchester. Mr Lowe made a speech at Calne after his election on Wednesday, which was mainly an amplification of his last speech in the House, the main point being that as you stop somewhere in reducing the franchise, you had much better stop now, that halting-place being indicated by the prosperity of all around. Stop in Goslien. says Mr Lowe, for even if there be a Promised Land there is the desert to cross, with neither milk nor honey. He says" large electoral districts put a pre- mium upon money," merit being elbowed out unless backed by cash. That is true, though many of the re- presentatives of London are bv no means rich men but does not precisely the same danger exist in the little borotiglis ? Is it at this moment possible to fight any nominee borough in England except by bring- ing money to bear, and making the fight one not between principles, but between personalty and reality ? Mr Lowe may sit cheaply at Calne, but it is not cheap to the person really returned, namely, the Marquis of Lansdowne. Mr Bright was returned the same day, also without opposition, and made a speech on the precisely oppo- site side. He says that the inquiry, What will they do with it has nothing to do with the matter, and asks, Is it not enough for them to say that we live under a representative constitution, and when 5,000,000 are shut out from the representation, is not that a suf. I ficient grievance and a sufficient answer to the ques- tion ?" The real point to be decided is the precise one Mr Bright assumes, namely, whether the 5,000,000 are represented or not. We think they are not, and would give them a share of representation, but Mr Bright confounds the representation with the electoral power. He says if you have votes you have representation, the truth being that you have nothing of the kind. A Tory may have a vote in Finsbury, but is he represen- ted by that vote, which he can never make effective ? I The Liberals seem determined to remove one great spot upon their escutcheon. Men of all Protestant sects, Jews, and Free-thinkers, have been of late freely admitted to Parliament, but an invincible prejudice has hitherto in England excluded all Roman Catholics. They are believed to number nearly 800,000, yet in the last Parliament they seated only one representative, and he was returned for the nominee borough of which his nephew is lord. This, year, however, Bridgnorth has sent up Sir John Acton, a man of all others most distinctively represents the English Catholics, and it is more than probable that next week the Isle of Wight will take heart of grace, get over its fright about the Carisbrooke Monastery, and return the popular fa- vourite, Sir John Semeon, who, were he still a Protes- tant, would walk over the course. The election of half-a-dozen such men would not only amend such in- justice, but serve to correct the mad Ultramontanism of the old Brass Band. Mr Roebuck has again been returned for Sheffield, after a contest which has been most amusing to every- body except himself and his opponent Mr Forster. At first Mr Roebuck treated his rival with supreme con- tempt then finding that he could talk as abusively as himself, fell back on his age and wounded dignity. He had, he said, reached a great position, and did not scruple to acknowledge that his dignity was hurt at the insolence he had experienced." "His character. and age, and weakness" ought, he thought, to have protected him from treatment which nevertheless every- body else has experienced at his hands. The hammer, one perceives, does not like being anvil, though it is an educating experience." The electors, however, ad- hered to their old favourite, raising him to the top of the poll, and Mr Roebuck, once more secure, rose to his old level, declaring that he had never attacked a good man, but if I find a vile, vulgar fellow, I will stamp with my disapprobation and disapproval, the English language supplies me with apt words for that purpose," as indeed it also supplies bargees, and hodmen, and cabbies, and other persons distinguished for plainness of speech. We are not on the whole much disposed to congratulate the House of Commons on Mr Roebuck's success. It takes vinegar to make salad, but then it should be made of wine, not beer. Lord Palmerston has of couse been elected for Tiver- ton, after a speech scarcely up to the level of his Tiverton speeches. The absence or silence of his ancient antagonist Rowcliffe, the Chartist butcher, seems to have deprived him of his accustomed stimu- lus, and he did not say anything very good. His point was of course that England had flourished more during the six years of his administration than in any other six, wealth in particular having increased until all Mr Gladstone's efforts to reduce the revenue by reducing taxation had been foiled. He trusted that as the House of Commons had shown an increasing confidence in him, so also would the electors of Tiverton. He had had otters from larger boroughs, but while his friends have stuck to him he should stick to his friends. The best thing said at the election was by an unknown elector. Mr Walrond, the Conservative, had remarked that Lord Palmerston must some day or other give np his control of the reins, when a voice shouted out Ii Yes, and of the drag too," -an illustration indicating keen political insight. It is because he holds the drag, and clogs the wheel with it whenever he likes, that the Tories accept the Premier. Mr Hutt, elated for having no contest for Gateshead made a very imprudent boast to his constituents of his cavalier treatment of Austria in the matter of the commercial treaty, which he was sent to negotiate. Finding, he says, that Baron Kalchberg, who had asked for the International Commission, was not really honest in his free-trade professions, and was not permitting the International Commission to investigate thoroughly all that they wanted, he went to the Foreign Minister, Count Mensdorff Pouilly, and complained, I told him that unless I was satisfied that the Austrian Go. vernment would make" more hearty concessions, I would break up the Commission, return instantly to London, and throw up the Austrian Government all the odium of having contracted honourable engagements which they never intended to fulfil, and of having thus offered a gratuitous affront to a powerful and friendly nation. Count Mensdorff received my representations and some papers illstrative of them with that lofty and honourable spirit which I expected from such a man. He acknowledged at once that England had a griev- ance against them. He said he considered that Aus- tria was honourably engaged to carry out the inquiry in a loyal spirit, but he asked me to suspend my further inquiry for the next two months, assuring me on his honour that at the expiration of that time I should find that Austria had taken steps to carry out all her engagements." And Mr Hutt occupies the two months in coming home and proclaiming to all Eng- land that he has menaced Austria with effect How will the lofty and honourable" spirit of Count Mens- dorff bear that ? Lord Hartingdon made a statement to the electors of North Lancashire which, if correct, is important. He said, When the new Parliament met, a bill on the subject would in all probability be introduced, and he thought a better measure could not be adopted at pre- sent than that brought in by Lord Palmerston's Go- vernment." This statement has not been confirmed by any other official speaker, for Mr Layard meant only, we think, to express a hope, but Lord Hartington is a much more important person in politics than his official post would show, and may have made his statement on accurate information. A reasonable bill which could be carried would be a great gain to the Liberal cause, as it would enable Mr Gladstone to make his first appeal to a larger constituency, and one in which the workmen would have some power. The Orangeman of Belfast seem to have gone wild with rage, and unfortunately the town has a mayor who sympathises with Orangemen. The Presbyterians and Catholics, who are Liberals, are tired of electing a Tory because he hates them both, and have started Lord John Hay as a candidate of their own. The exas- perated mayor accordingly fixed the Orange anniver- sary as the day of nomination, and the Orangemen, armed with bludgeons, packed the Court-house, and for more than two hours turned the place into a pande- monium. Every one who tried to enter was bludgeoned and the mad crowd within howled, and screamed, and crushed, and demanded that Lord John Hay should be thrown down from the hustings on to them. The Ad- miral stood at the time quietly contemptuous, never even glancing at the missiles flung at him, and trying in vain to speak to the reporters. Sir Hugh Cairns asked for a hearing for him, but in vain, and the dis- graceful scene ended by the mayor declaring that the show of hands had been in favour of Sir Hugh Cairns and Mr Getty. The Liberals of course were not de- terred by this demonstration. We know already that the new Parliament will gain much and lose something, in intellectual character and influence by the changes which have been made. Mr John Stuart Mill, the new member for Westminster, is of course the principal accession to this intellectual wealth. He has shown already a power of lucid ora- tory and easy repartee which will win, we trust, for his deeper and more statesmanlike speculations the close attention of the House of Commons. Mr Hughes, the new member for Lambeth, will contri- bute a clear and manly sympathy with the heart of the working class, which, combined with the most perfect intellectual fairness and kindliness towards opponents, a ready humour, and equal pleasure in receiving and giving all fair trusts, is certain to gain him a unique position. Sir John Acton as the interpreter of the intellectual Catholics, who do not fear science and who love toleration, will add im- measurably to the weight of all discussion on Roman Catholic questions. Mr Fawcett, the new member for Brighton, will increase the strength of the party which may be called that of the new economists by considerable knowledge and a very ready faculty of exposition. Mr. Coleridge, the new member for Exeter, Mr Edward James, the new member for Marylebone, are considerable accessions to the legal eloquence and knowledge of the House. And Mr Cox's loss is the loss of negative moral quantity,— which, as everyone knows, is again. There are a few changes for the worse. We do not weep indeed for for Mr F. Peel, or Colonel Luke White, or Lord A. Paget, or even Lord Bury. Mr E. A. Leatham will probably be all the better for a little adversity. Mr Lawson will become sober on the teetotal question during his absence from public life. But we are sorry, Tory though he be, to see the rejection of Mr Seymour Fitzgerald at Horsham, who has always hppn nnt> of thp. saner members of Viia "t-n 1\r "LL "I.J YUl.l¡Y. lA.4 Somerset Beaumont, too, is a useful member 'lost to the Liberals at Newcastle-on-Tyne, and Joseph Ewart a greater loss to Liverpool. On the whole, however, Parliament has as yet :assimilated far more intel- lectual substance than it had lost in the process of dissolution. The Borough Elections, says the Times, are over, and the Government has received a considerable accession of strengh, which, if need were, would tell with double effect upon any party division. Nothing, however, seems more unlikely than the immediate occurrence of a party division. The Opposition only venture to urge that they could manage the affairs of the nation as well as the Ministry, and Englishmen are not prone to make changes for the sake of change. The country has approved the policy of the Administration, and the character of the coming Parliament will apparently be in all respects the same as that of the Parliament which has just closed its protracted existence. The men arc different, but the House is unchanged. Many candi- dates for re-election have been defeated, but we do not know that the number of disappointments is excessive, or that it is even so great as might have been antici- pated upon an appeal to the country after an interval of more than six years.

THE BISHOP OF ST. DAVID'S & MR FALCONER. We are requested to publish the following letter which ".n Bi-knn of ",t Da»i<l'» has addersed to Mr Falconer, Judge of the Glamorgan County Courts Abergwili Palace, Carmarthen, 19ih July, 1835. SIR,—In the report of your judgment, in the case of Rev. David Price v. Pnilip Howell Morgan, R,.ctor Lunhamlaoh, which appeared in the Hereford Timet, of July 8tb, I find the following observation When the Bishop was informally appealed to, and wrote in reply the ery clever and bitt,-r note to the plaintiff, which wag read, it would have been advantageous if in exercising his pastoral 'unctions he had exceeded those of an expounder of the law, HHi hOld »-xnrps»ed the moral rules which ought to have governed the conduct of all the parties, and have endeavoured .J teik ttieir dispute frum the eight 01 the publio." You think that I am chargeable with a gnlfø omission in the exercise of my functions, and you have done what you could to supply it. There can be no doubt that in exercis- ing your judicial funotions you have exceeded those of an expounder of the lav, but, as it appears to me not with any d'antage to the parties, or to the public, or to yourself. You think that there was an occasion on which it was my duty to have expressed the m'1ral rules which ought •o harp governed the, conduct of all the parties. I am not aware that there were more than two parties to the dispute, ,ti,i ot inese it does not appear that there were more than >ne, who. according to your own julament, needed to be reminded of the moral rules which ought to have governed their conduct. You have not suggested that the ulaintiff did not believe in the justice of his own claim. You have contented yourself with strongly expressing your opinion, that defendant in resisting that chim was guilty of gross, deliberate dishonesty, and basely took advantage of an informality to retain money for himself which he knew to be justly due to the plaintiff. You may have had reason to suspeot that this was the case but you bare not alluded to tny evidence which shewed that no other construction "luld be put on the defendant's condact. And in ohoosing the worst that could be put on it, you appear to me "ot only to have exceeded the functions of an expounder of the law, but to have assumed those of the only Judge who is able to penetrate with certainty into the secret .rings of human actions. It is at least possible that the defendant may have believed that the rults of law are not always exactly commensurate stith those of equity, that his ,wn offer, though it was of a sum less thin the law in these cases have fixed," was fair and jut, and one with which he plain-iff ought to have been satisfied, and thit he wai therefore. justified in resisting the plaintiff's demand. In this conclusion he might have allowed his judgment to be bUsied by bis interest without being conscious of a wilful breach of duty. If this was indeed the whole of his fault, he has suffered a great and irreparable wrong. For words failing from the judgment-seat, however rashly uttered, to common mind carry all the weight which be- longs t> the speaker's officul station. But, as I do not pretend to the power of discerning the movements of the heurt, the only aspect in which the dis. pute did or could present itself to me, was that of a differ- ence of views between two of my clergy cn a somewhat nice and complicated question of law and right. To have taken occasion from this to remind them of the eighth omman,iment, or otherwise to express the moral rulea' which forbid every one to appropriate to himself that which belongs to hii neighbour-this, as it appears to mg, would under such circumstances have been neither ad- vantdgeous nor proper It would have been not merely impertinent *nd aburd, but would have implied an insult imp?t h parties, which I do not think even you had a riuht to on?r to either. You thii-k that I ought to have endeavoured—either by such expression of moral rules, or by some other means which you have not pointed out-to veil the dispute from the sight of the public.' From your point of view this may -eem to have been a highly desirable object. But I can- not say that even now I see much reason to lament that I had no opportunity of intervening for that purpose, and it was impossible for me to foresee how far you wonld 4 exceed the functions of an expounder of the law.' In the dispute itself, until you itr. ported into it the foreign element of bad motives in one of the parties, there was nothing that needed to be anxiously veiled from the public eye. That two clergymen should differ on a ques'ion of money does not seem anything very shocking or surprising, and I was not before aware that it was disgraceful to them to seek a settlement of their dispute in a Court of Justice. No doubt hoth the parties have something to regret. But the plain- tiff was imprudent as well as ill. advied. The defendant, if he is indeed guilty of the conduct which you have imputed to him. cannot have been too severely hurt by your remarks. If he is conscious that he has not deserved them, they will still be a wholesome warning—though one for which he has little reason to be grateful to you-aeainst conduct which lays him open to such suspicions. With a view to the clergy at large I consider the decision—assuming that it is sound law-as an unmixed good, which could not have been obtained if the dispute had been I veiled from the "tghtofthe puplic.' As to my own share in it, I can find nothing to regret, and only lament your misapprehensions, from which we sboull both have been spared if you had confined yourself to the exercise of your legitimate functions, and had not none out of your way to east unwarranted reflexions and to lay chargps both destitute and incapable of proof. As I Jo not at present know your address, it may be some time before this letter reaches you. But I intend it to have the same publicity as your judgment. I am s ir, m „ Your obedient Servant. 1. falconer, &sq. C. ST. DAVID'S.

CHAMPS ELYSEES CIRCUS. — The circus visited Car- marthen on Wednesday, and gave two performances, that in the evening being well attended. The perfor- mances gave satisfaction. 2ND & 6TH CARMARTHENSHIRE RIFLE VOLUNTEERS. -Orders for the week ending 29th July. 1865.—Parade on Monday and Friday at the Cattle Market, at P-m. for battalion and skirmishing drill.

ENGLISH CONGREGATIONAL ASSOCIATION.—An as- sociation or conference of the English Congregational Ministers in Wales took place at the English Congre- f £ ti°nal Church, Lammas-street, on Wedesday, the "h instant. In the afternoon the conference sat and discussed the affairs of the churches in Wales, and in the evening sermons very appropriate to the occasion pere delivered by the Rev J. Waite, of Cardiff, and the Cv J. James, of Llanelly. THE NEW CANON OF ST. DAVID'S.—It affords us great satisfaction to announce that the Rev. W. Reed, principal of the South Wales Training College, has been appointed by the Bishop of the Diocese to the canonry at St. David's, vacant by the death of Mr Griffith, of Llangunnor. It is a substantial appoint- ment, in money-value and in honour, yet one thoroughly deserved, for Mr Reed's services to the church and the cause of education have been very considerable. He is a man of profound learning and untiring earnest- ness and upon no man will a canon's honours sit more gracefully, and by no man will a canon's duties be discharged more efficiently. Mr Reed was for many Tears chaplain to Her Majesty's forces in the West ftidia Islands. He afterwards became Principal of the York Training Institution, and upon the establish- ment of the South Wales Training College in 1848 he Was chosen by Bishop Thirlwall to fill the office of Prin- cipal. We trust that now he is satisfied for having gIven in his lot with Wales, and that he will be encouraged in carrying out his mission of providing the people with a religious education.

Thomas Carmarthen. Their purport as to explain the objects of the society, and to urge e necessity of its support by the Christian public in ngland and Wales. Its purpose, as its title indicated, to provide means of religious worship for the English speaking population of Wales. The English language was making progress in the Principality, through the growth of commerce, the introduction of railways, and the establishment of British and National schools. This state of things loudly called for the at- tention of the Christian Church, inasmuch that hitherto hut scanty provisions have been made for religious in- struction in the English tongue. It was for the pur- Pose of meeting this deficiency, and because that the various localities in which it would be felt would be of themselves unable to make an adequate effort for ?ch a pressing emergency, that this society had been ??tcd. Since its formation it had assisted, and was ?' ??sting, several Ea?ish Congregational churches an[i v^ereut parts of South Wales and Monmouthshire, hli;;hl ??S ? mflucnce to promote their e"ta- bli"sbn S ? others. A letter was read from the Rev W. Mo?' °/ o Union-street, expressing his regret at ?ot bein° ? ? ? be present, and his sympathy with the ob- PospdT ? ? society.

PETTY SESSIONS.—These session were held at the Town Hall on Wednesday last, before J. H. Rees. Esq., and Lieut. Col. Cowell Stepney.—Eleanor Evans, a widow living at Bynea, was charged with stealing several pounds of candles, a quantity of tea, sugar, soap, and other articles, the property of Mary Harries, shopkeeper, Bynea. Prisoner pleaded not guilty. From the evidence it appeared that the prosecutrix keeps a shop at Bynea, and the prisoner resided next door. Prosecutrix leaves the premises every night until the morning. Up to, and previously to the 12th ult., prosecutrix found, on coming to the shop in the morn- ing. that her goods had been disturbed, and some were missing. On the last day mentioned prosecutrix went to the house of the prisoner, who was ill at the time, and when in the room she smelt candlcs and tobacco. On the 3rd inst., she and her father and brother, and the prisoner's father-in-law went to the prisoner's house and requested her to open her box, and upon doing so about 12 lbs. of candles. G lbs. of white sugar, 21 lbs. of tea, 1 lb. and 2 ounces of tobacco, 6 ounces of blue, 1 bar of soap, 1 cotton reel, 1 ounce of thread, and a skeleton key were all found there. They kept the skeleton key, but left the goods. The prisoner removed from the house that night, and a search warrant was issued on the 13th inst., when most of the articles above mentioned were found in the same place. The prisoner was apprehended the same day, but was admitted to bail until to-day. Two witnesses were examined, who proved that the prisoner confessed to having stolen the goods.—The prisoner was committed for trial at the Quarter Sessions, but admitted to bail.—Mr Mansel Rees, solicitor, appeared for the prosecution and Mr T. B. Snead for the prisoner.—Mary Lovatt, of King Square, Llanelly, was fined 2s Gd and costs for assault- ing Frances Davies, of the same place. LLANFYNYDD.—REJOICINGS.—On Monday even- ing, the 9th, being the anniversary of her birthday, Miss Jones, of Pantglas, gave a treat to the children and adults attending the Church Sunday School, her choir, and others, amounting to nearly two hundred in number. Tables profusely loaded with savoury viands to an extent that excited the admiration of all present were set on an elevated, but well-sheltered, spot, in the park. Ample justice having been done to the good things so kindly provided, rustic sports were com- menced with, foot-races, hopping, jumping over hur- dles, running in sacks and the like, which occasioned great merriment, the best performers being in each case rewarded with prizes. Night having at last set in, the assembly went in doors, and after several congratulatory addresses had been offered to Miss Jones, suitable to the occasion, and what was better pro- ceeding from the heart, the local bards came forward with their poetical effusions, one being in the form of an acrostic, which we here subjoin Melys genym anrhydeddu A cl.lorlfori un mor fwyri, it hon a gar hen wlad J Cymry, Y gymdoaeth leiaw sywn.

"May God grant to this excellent young lady many happy returns of the day," was the fervent wish of all, and may the example she is setting in the days of her youth be the means of inciting others in her position to love their native land and to do good in their day and generation." She intended to celebrate her birthday by the presentation of a handsome chancel window to the parish church, but unfortunately it could not be completed in time, which was a subject of regret. Much regret was also expressed for the unavoidable absence of Mr Jones, who was detained in London but on Tuesday he arrived, and no sooner had the carriage approached the park gates than the horses were out and their places filled by thirty-five of his workmen and labourers, who dragged the honourable gentleman at a round pace to Pantglas, kl"1 the hurrahs of those who know how to appreciate ] ifarts and sincere wishes to make those around th  m "PPy- May the happiness which they arc so readv /m''art to ^e hearts of others return with r?p?ide?Sl??o??'? ?- ?? ? ? .,1" rh?n be? unrhyw adfyd, M? ?
