THE CORN TRADE. There were heavy foreign supplies of wheat and oats last week. Exports, 140 qrs wheat, 30 qrs maize, 119 cwt flour. English wheat, 7,699 qrs; foreign, 44,790 qrs. There was but a small supply this morning from from Kent and Essex, but the heavy foreign arrivals made it of no consideration, and the same heaviness continued, so that to make any sales fully Is to 2s per qr less had to be accepted. Foreign was very dull at Is decline but the break in the canal threatens a falling off from New York. Country flour, 16,540 sacks foreign, 1,490 sacks 9,674 -,brla. Norfolks were Is per Back down, as well as all country marks. To sell foreign sacks or barrels in quantity it was necessary to accept a like reduction. Maize 23,970 qrs. This grain was steady at last Monday's price. British barley, 1,455 qrs foreign, 5,959 qrs. Fine sorts were quite as dear, though not a brisk sale. Secondary and inferior remained very dull. The malt trade was quiet, with prices nnchanged. English oats, 1,459 qrs Irish, 2,400 qrs; foreign, 99,429 qrs. The immense arrival of foreign caused a further decline in this grain, say 6d per qr on all sorts and Is on new. Native beans, 578 qrs foreign none. This pulse was weak, and Is per qr lower. English peas, 781 qrs; foreign, 1,572 qrs. Fine new white, being scarce, maintained former rates. Linseed, 5,610 qrs exports nil. No) change was noted in seed or cake. Cloverseed and other seeds were very much in calm, without any quotable alteration, except- ing canary, which was much cheaper.] OX7BUMr 1".10- OF BRITISH GRAIN AND FLOUR IN MARK-LANB.

COUNTRY MARKETS., r- II condition. Market ruled without any alteration to mention from our report of this day week. BATH, 9th.-There was a good supply of wheat at to-day's market, but trade was very dull, at last week's prices. In other grain also there was no alteration. At Shepton Mallet prices of wheat ranged from 44s to 52s per qr barely, 37s to 44s; oats, 25s, to 28s beans, 43s to 52s. CARLISLB, 9th.—There was an average supply of all kinds of grain at our market to-day. Wheat sold quickly, at an advance in some cases of 6d per bushel. Oats and barley were in good demand. Prices :-new white wheat, 17a to 21a do.* do., old 19s 6s to 20a 6d new red wheat, 16s 6d to 19a 6d do. do., old 18s to Ids new and old barley, 12s 6d to 14s old potato oats, lis 6d to 13s;" do. do., new, 9¡s to 10s 6d per Carlisle bushel. Flour, Is 1 Id to 2s 2d oatmeal, 2a Id to 2s 3d ryemeal and barleymeal, Is 5d per stone. DONCAsTER, 9th.-Considering the low price of wheat our market was overstocked this morning, and there was a slow, heavy sale at a decline of fully 6d per load upon the prices of last Saturday. Complaints are loud and numerous of deficient yield, and farmers positively refusa to sell at present values. There is no alteration in the value of barley. Oats, beans, and peas are steady, and each somewhat lower in price. Our quotations are as follows New wheat, 17s to 18s; fine, 20s to 22s per load; old wheat, 17s to 18s fine, 19 to 23s grind- ing barley, 338 to 34s fine, 35s to 368 malting barley, 37s to 38s fine 40a to 44s per qr.; new oats, 26s to 28s; fine, 30s to 32s per qr.; old oats, 32a to 35s fine, 368 per qr.; old beans, 20s to 21s fine, 22s per load new beans, 17 to 18s fine 19s per load white peas, 18s to 19a fine, 20s per load rye 13 to 14s; fine, 14s 6d per load. Essex, 9th.-The Essex markets have been dull during the week. Yesterday, at Chelmsford, the supply of wheat was fair, trade was dull at the late decline. Barley was in moderate supply and in fair request, the best samples making late rates inferior sorts expe- rienced a dull sale. White wheat, 4 Is to 52s red do, 46s to 48s; grinding barley, 30s to 32s malting do., 3.5s to 42s oats, 22s to 28s dun peas, 37s to 40s tick beans, 42s to 47s; Mazagan do., 36s to 40s per qr. Averages: -Wheat 3,670 qrs., 47a 7d barley, 438 qra., 39s; oats, 17 qrs., 468 6d. At Braintree there was a somewhat increased supply of wheat on offer; the con- dition being slightly affected by the season the trade ruled slow at a reduction of fully Is per qr. Malting barley was inquired for and firmer. Beans, peas, and oats in quiet demand, at about late quotations. GLOCESTER, 9tb. — We have had liberal supplies of foreign wheat this week into Glocester, including 11,600 qrs of wheat from Taganrog, Sulina, Odessa, Trieste, St Brieux and Nantes, and about 30,000 qrs of barley from Taganrog, St Malo, Caen, and Nantes. We have about 1,350 qrs of foreign and 400 qrs of Irish oats. Also some 9,000 qrs of maize from Kustendjie and Sulina. The market continues to decline and we must qnote a fall of 6d per qr at least on the value of wheat since last market day. English white wheat, 6s 2d to 6s 6d, and red, 6a 2d to 6a 4d per 62lb American 5s 9d; Ghirka, 6s and Galatz, and lbraila, -5s 6d to 58 8d per 621b malting barley, 35s to 368 per qr; grinding, 26s to 27a per 4001b. Last official averages at Glocester:- Wheat, 1,2 88 7d barley, £1158 and beans, X2 4s per imperial qr. 1 NORWICH, 9th.—The supply or wneat at inis market to-day was tolerably good, but a general dulness pre- vailing in the trade prices receded Is to 2s per qr. There was a fair supply of barley, but a large propor. tion was a secondary quality, and met a slow sale on late terms. All good malting sorts realized the full rates of last woek. The weather during the past week has been unusually mild and summer-like, but still there has been sufficient moisture to enable farmers to prepare their lands for wheat-sowing. White wheat, 48s to 62s red do., 44s to 46s malting barley, 36s to 38s extra, 41s; distilling do., 32s to 34s per qr. Flour, 328 to 33a per sack. Averages-Wheat, 1,280 qrs, 47s 3d barley, 4,561 qrs, 378 7d oats 25 qrs, 23s. READING, 9th.—The weather during the past week has been of quite a summer character, on some days the thermometer standing at 70 degrees in the shade. This fine weather has been accompanied by dense fogs both morning and evening. In to-day's market wheat was in much larger supply than for some weeks past. The great increase in foreign imports led millers to be steady in their demand; but holders generally obtained the terms of last -eek-wiz., best old white wheat, ;).14 to 58s secondary, 48s to 50s red wheat, 50s to 52s; and inferior, 40s to 47s. There was a great scarcity of malting barley, and only a small show of other sorts. The prices were-Malting barley, 40s to 43s; secondary, 36s to 38s and grinding, 33s to 35s. Oats were disposed of at last week's rates. Beans and peas were sold at late prices. The flour-market remains firm, households selling at 43s and 44s., and seconds at 398 and 40s per sack. MALTON, 9th.-The trade for wheat was dull, and Is to 2s per qr lower. Fine barley sold at about late rates, but common sorts were again lower, Oats were more plentiful, and were also lower. Imperial averages: Wheat, 601b to the bushel, 47s per qr; barley (471b). 318 per qr; oats (381b), 25s 6d per qr. The potato crop io,™w an far. There is an average 13as nul, yn:;¡u\A U.L6'1AJ trade, at 8s for rounds and 10s for flukes Per tub whole- sale, dealers retailing at lOd flukes and 811 for rounds per stone. Growers are not free sellers at present rates. Most of the crop will be stored. NEWCASTLE-ON-TYNE, 9th.—The corn trade has been inactive during the week, and very few Bales have been practical, although millers have bought wheat at a reduction of Is per qr. Flour has also been in slow request, and has been procurable at a reduction of Is per sack. Malting barley has been taken off at fully former rates, as likewise good stout grinding sorts. Beans and peas have found buyers at former rates. New Scotch oats, by reason of their poor condition, New £ £ quite unsaleable. At our market this morn- ing tErewas a free delivery of wheat from the growers in various conditions, and the arrivals from the coast, as well as from abroad, being to a fair extent fresh-thrashed samples, could only be placed by sub- .tt;n", tn a pftdimtion nf it. iinon best dry, and 2s upon .W. ill-conditioned parcels. Upon south country new and foreign few holders were disposed to make a er concession than Is per qr. Choice old, whether British or foreign, was not generally offered on lower terms. Flour was a slow sale, at a reduction of Is per sack. Malting barley was less inquired for. NOTTINGHAM, 9th —The supply of wheat at our Corn- exchange to-day was limited. The inquiry was of a languid character, and farmers had to make a concession of about Is per qr to get on with business. There was a moderate supply of barley, the demand for which was quiet, and the prices of this day se'nnight were only established on the finest samples. The show of oats were about an average for the time of the year, and a slow feeling prevailed in the trade. Fine old samples supported their value, but other descriptions moved off at Is per qr less money. There was a middlin BUDDly fl- r ot beans which met a ann aemauu a, P" AU t'vo n- below those of last week. Peas were a quiet trade and unaltered in value. Currency to the grower :—Wheat, new white, 518 to 55s new red, 47s to 56s old white, 56s to 58s; old red, 51s to 54s per 36 stone. Barley- malting, 39s to 46s per 32 stone grinding, 30s per 30 stone. Oats new, 26s to 30a old, 318 to 36s per 24 stone, Beans-new, 47a to 50s old, 52s to 55s per 38 stone. Averages for the week ending Oct. 4-Wheat 195 qrs, at 51 a OJd per qr. SOUTH WALES, 9th.—The local markets have been rather better attended this week than last, but the trans- actions entered into have not been large. Home-grown wheat has not been so freely offered as many expected, farmers entertaining the opinion that by holding for a short time better prices will be obtained. Still, quotations showed a downward tendency for both home- grown and foreign, old white selling at 6s to 6s 3d per 601b ditto new, 5s 9d to 6s; new red, 5s 6d to 5s 9d foreign red, 44s to 46s per qr. For malting barley of fine qualities there has been a fair demand, at last week's rates. Grinding qualities lower. Peas neglected, and beans tend to a further decline in quotations. Now oats are about Is per qr.cheaper, new black being quoted 24s per qr. Good samples of old white oats are firmer, the average price being 28s to 30s per qr.

THE CATTLE TRADE. I The supply of beasts still continues of a limited character, and especially of the better descriptions of British. There is a good demand for all breeds, whether British or foreign, and the general tone of the market is lively and animated. The quality of our grass-fed beasts is very middling, and anything ap- proaching choice is quickly caught up. The foreign supply is also falling off in quality. The number of sheep on offer is extremely bare. Choice Downs and half-breds fully maintain their price, and in some instances at an advance on subjoined quotations all will be sold. The calf market is brisk, higher rates being freely realized. Pork without alteration. COMPARATIVE STATEMENT OF PRICES AND SUPPLY OF CATTLE AT MARKET, ON MONDAY LAST.

BATH, Oct. 9.-There was an average supply of car- cases at to-day's market, with a fair demand. Beef sold at from 4s 4d to 58 per stone of 81b mutton, 4s to 4s Gd lamb 4s to 4s 8d veal, 4s 4d to 5s 6d pork, 4s 10J to 5s. CARLISLE, 9th.—There was a better supply of cattle to-day, especially of Galloways. The quality of the Irish and cross-breds was inferior, but tnat of the Galloways superior. Short-horns sold at £1110s Gallo- way bullocks, f9 to El I, and in one case £13 milch cows £ 13 to X16. The show of lambs was small, but trade was brisker than it was last week. Cheviots, 88 to 13s crosses, 15s to 20s half-breds, 16s to 22s each. DONCASTER, 9tb.- We have not many beasts, but there were less buyers, and most animals remained over unsold. A great show of sheep, the market being quite full, and there being a large attendance of buyers also a good business was done, at prices about the same as those last quoted. Ewes 36s to 56s each lambs 28a to 38s ditto. A good show of pigs, and from 6d to Is a head more money was demanded, but not readily con. ceded. Small pigs, 18s to 28s each stores, 35s to 56s and up to 80s ditto. MALTON, 9th.—Foot and mouth disease again has acted as a deterrent, and scarcely a beast was in the market. Prices were heavy. The great fairs are next week, and many are ready to predict great failures. No sheep, but again a great show of pigs, a further slight reduction occurring in prices on sales. Fat stock for the butcher keeps firm. Beasts are worth 8s to 8s 6d pigs, 8s 3d to 8s 6d per stone sheep, 7d to 8Jd lamb, ditto, and calves, Hd per lb. The weather is remark- ably fine, and the fields promise herbage up to Christ- mas. NORWICH, 9th.—There was a considerable show of store cattle—Scots, shorthorns, and Irish—on offer nere to-day. The tone oi one traae was somewhat dull, and only a very partial clearance was effected, but former rates were about maintained. Fat beasts, 9s to 9s 6d. The show of sheep was pretty good prices presented little change. Fat sheep, 9s to 10s per 141b store pigs, 25s to 30a and half fat, 35s to 45s per head. Fat pork, 8s 6d to 9s per 14lb. The weather ccntinues extremely mild for the season of the year; there are few complaints as to feed prospects. The imports of live stock at Har- wich from the continent for the week ending Oct. 6 are :-From Rotterdam—sheep, 308; pigs, 24. NOTTINGHAM, 9th.- There was a small supply of milch and store cattle at this day's market, and the great annual fair being held last week, business assumed a languid aspect. The sales, however, were at quite previous prices. The value of milch cows was from X15 to L22 per head, barren beasts making f8 to .£15. Of calves the supply was small, but there were enough for the demand, and prices were the same as heretofore the ruling rates were 25s to 30s each There was a pretty good show of store ewes, and the trade was by no means active at recent rates,-namely, 35s to 40s each. Lambs were well represented, and sales were made slowly at former terms-2.5s to 30s each. Of pigs there was a good supply, and the trade was dull. Stores, however, commanded quite as much money as heretofore, good fresh animals making 40s to 50s, and sacking pigs 20s to 30s each. Fat sorts were much altered in value, making 8s to 8s 6d per stone. There was but little doing in horses prices irregular. WILTSHIRE, 9th.-At Devizes monthly market the principal supply of stock consisted of sheep, which sold slowly on account of the very high prices asked. Horned stock sold readily, there being now an abun. dance of keep. Beef was quoted 12s to 13s the score. Bacon pigs are down to 1 Is the score. The cheese trade was tolerably steady, at about recent prices. Best broads, 72s, and secondary, 63a to 70s. At Chippenham the cheese trade was fairly active, at recent rates. WOOL MARKET. There is no feature to notice in the English wool market. Beyond a moderate inquiry for lustres, there is little demand and although it is in many cases firmly held, prices are scarcely so steady as last week. We do not alter quotations, however. POTATO MARKETS. BOROUGH AND SPITALFIELDS, The supplies of Potatoes are good. The trade is dull, at our quotations. Last week's London import consisted of 223 bags from Antwerp, 135 sacks Dunkirk, 8 bags 10 sacks Hamburg, 3 bags Harlingin, 4 baskets 2 bags Rotterdam. English 65s. Od. to 75s. per ton. Foreign. -s.

Our market has been very steady during the past week, fine samples of the new growth commanding a quick sale at full figures, and inferior grades moving off at fair prices. The continental markets continue very firm, and the supply of the new growth so far seems to have been absorbed for home consumption, the exports to England being comparatively insignificant. New York advices to the 29th ult. report no change in the market, which remains firm for both new and old bops.

In Irish butter the transactions were but moderate, the high rates assed checked business, but holders were very firm. Foreign sold fairly, best Dutch advanced to 128s, 130s. In bacon there was a further decline of 2s on Irish and 4s on Hamburg meat, at the decline there was more business transacted at the close of the week. PRICES OF BUTTER, CHEESE, JUJU, &C.

TABERNACLE BAPTIST CHAPEL. Sermons in aid of the London Missionary Society were preached here on Sunday and Monday last, when the Rev Mr. Thomas, of Piskah, near Newport, Mon., and the Rev Bejamin Thomas, Newcastle-Emlyn, officiated. The congrega- tions were large on each occasion, especially on Sunday evening, when the chapel was overcrowded, the pews and aieles being everywhere filled with people. The collections amounted to upwards of Z40. WESLETAN FOREIGN MISSIONS.—The services in con- nection with these missions, were held at the English Wesleyan Chapel on Sunday last, when the Rev Jabez Chambers, of Kidwelly, preached two excellent sermons. In the morning he preached from these words For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds," 2 Corinthians, x. c., 4 v. and in the evening his text was And he said into them, if they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead," Luke xii., and the last verse The attendance on both occasions was fair, and the collections liberal. This (Friday) evening the annual public meeting will be held in the chapel. The Rev Matthew T. Male, many years a missionary in British India, and the Rev W. H. Cornforth, of London, are the deputation. COUNTY PETTY SESSIONS.—On Saturday last, before R. Jennings, Esq., Grismond Philipps, Esq., and W. E. Gwyn, Esq. John Davies, labourer, Blaenywern charged William Thomas, Penrallt, Llanarthney, with non-payment of wages.—Complainant stated that he worked four days for defendant in Cwmlledan wood, at 2s 8d per day. He applied for money on the 4th inst., but the defendant refused to pay, saying it had nothing to do with him. He had been paid by defendant for previous work.—Defendant denied having hired com- plainant to work at Cwmlledan wood. He did not know that such a wood was in existence. The name of the wood where complainant worked is Clynlledan, which is the property of a Mr John James, Rhydyfran. He had not paid the men that worked in that wood. He only assisted Mr James's overseer in looking after the men as he was not accustomed to the work.—The com- plainant said he could bring a witness to prove that de- fendent paid the workmen.—Defendant said that if complainant applied to Mr James, the owner of the wood, he would, probably, pay the money by return of post. As for himself he had nothing to do with paying the men.—The case was adjouaned for a week, in order to hear complainant's witness, and the magistrates advised in the meantime to apply to Mr James for the money.—James Thomas, Llaine, Aber- rant, was charged with assaulting John Jones, Cwm. flowrog, Abernant. On the 28th ult., complainant at- tended a sale at Blaenpant, Abernant, and defendant assaulted him there, by stamping on his foot; defendant also threatened to strike him. There was an old griev- ance between them. Defendant said that he was assaulted first. Complainant tried to throw him down in passing him.—Mr Gwyn (to complainant) What made you throw him down ?—Witness: I did not air.- For the defence, Nathaniel Thomas, Esgarhir Issa, said he saw complainant stamp on defendant's foot. Defen- dant was more under the influence of drink than com- plainant. Complainant and defendant were face to face like dogs. (Laughter ) —Mr Gwyn Did they bite each other. (Laughter.) Witness No, sir.—The magis- trates bound both defendant and complainant in the sum of JEo to keep the peace for six mounth. BOROUGH POLICE NEWS.—On Monday before J. Lewis, Esq. (mayor), J. Bagnall, Esq., J. Lewis Philipps, Esq., Dr Lewis, and E. B. Jones, Esq. The adjourned case of the Pembroke and Tenby Railway Company against Jonah Williams was first heard. Defendant appeared and said he had no witness to call, but that he paid the fee to the guard. Mr Crewes, the station master, stated that the defendant on Saturday admitted the offence and told him he was sorry for what he had done, and hoped to be dealt with mercifullj as he was a poor man. The guard was called, but defendant said he was not the man whom he paid. The defendant was fined 19s 6d including costs, and was informed by the bench that it was owing to his own stupidity that the costs were so beavy.-Anne Davies. charged Sophia Davies with assaultingher grandson. David Thomas, a little boy, under 9 years of age, said that about the commencement of last week, he met the defendant near Cellevwr, and she called him "Old Dai Potato," and he called her Sambo" in reply. (Laugh- ter). Defendant then kicked him on the lip and knee, which produced the marks they could now see. Defen- dant denied the offence. The case was adjourned until next Monday in order that complainant might bring a witness.—Mr John Evans, relieving officer, charged William Williams, Shaw's Lane, labourer, with neglect- ing to maintain his wife and family who had become chargeable to the Union. It appeared that this was a second charge against defendant for a similar offence, and that he was very abusive to his wife when drunk. Defendant's wife had received 8s from the relieving officer. The magistrates adjourned the case for a fort- night in order that the defendant might make arrange- mets with Mr Evans.-Margaret Rowe, Water-street, applied for sureties of the peace against James Davies. Complainant said that on the previous Monday about half-past 4 o'clock in the afternoon and when near the gas works, she met the defendant's daughter who accused her of milking other person's cows. The complainant asked her what cows had she been milk- ing, but she made no reply. The defendant afterwards came out from the gas works and used his fists about complaints' head and threatened to do her grievous harm. She was in bodily fear of defendant and applied for sureties of the peace.—Defendant said he never used this threat. Complainant was always annoying his-daughterwho had been in her employ, about Stealing some things from her. He called Margaret Evans for the defence, who said she saw complainant with her fists in de'end- ant's daughter's face, and said she would strike her if she went to her field again. Defendant afterwards came from the gas works, and the witness told him that complainant would not leave his daughter alone. Defendant had some words with complainant, but lie did not threaten to do her any injury. Witness was present the whole time. There being insufficeint evidence the case was dismissed—George Isaac Shepherdson, St Peter's-street, was charged by James Morgans, other- wise inown as "Jimmey the oysters," an inoffensive rna2, with assaulting him. Complainant said he was a labourer. About half-past 10 or 11 o'clock on the previous Saturday, he was employed by Mr Maclean, to carry aj bedstead to Notts square, to defendant's house. He took the bedstead and told defendant who had sent him with it and he put it outside his shop. Defendant then struck him with a stick about the head and arms, and said he would pull his eyes out. He was requested by defendant to take it away but he had strict orders to leave it there. In reply to defendant he said he would not take it away. Defendant said he did not strike complainant until he was knocked down on the ground. (Laughter.) Thomas Williams, St. Peter's-street, strongly corroborated complainant's evidence.—The defendant afterwards called two wit- nesses, who gave evidence to the effect that they saw defendant on the ground, and complainant kicking him. They did not see the whole of the disturbance.— The magistrates fined the defendant 5s and costs. —This was a special session for transferring public-house licences, when the following were transferred :—Hope- maker's Arms, Priory-street, from Mr David Parcell to his widow; White Horse, Priory-street, from Mrs Bowen to Mr D. Morgan. LATJGHARNE.—On Sunday last the newly-elected portreeve, Mr J. Hugh, according to custom, enter- tained the Aldermen and Grand Jury to breakfast at the Globe Inn, whence they went in procession to attend divine service in church. The annual Corpora- tion dinner, known locally as the portreeve's feast," takes place on Monday next, at the Globe Inn. LLANELLY.—HARVEST THANKSGIVING PRAYER MEETINGS.—On Friday last, the whole of the day was devoted to prayer meetings, at Capel Newydd, to return thanks for the bountiful harvest just gathered in. The meetings were held respectively at 10, 2, and 6, and were well attenaea. TREAT TO THE WORKHOUSE INMATES.—On Friday last, Col. Stepney, M.P, gave the inmates of the Union Workhouse, a substantial dinner, which to these poor people was a treat" indeed, and such kindness and liberality was much appreciated by them, with fervent hopes that it will be repeated. ERRATUM.—" The Silver Cup" referred to in the last WELSHMAN, in the paragraph respecting the Rifle Shooting Match, was given by Lieut. Col. Cowell Stepney, M.P., which we unintentionately omitted to state at the time. Also in a paragraph referring to the testimonial, &c., presented to Mr Anthony Britten, it should be stated that he intends entering Holy Orders in the Church of England," and not Scotland," and Mr John Ball," and not Bull," was the owner of the musical box. WESLEYAN FOREIGN MISSIONS.—On Sunday last, sermons on behalf of the above missions were preached in the English Wesleyan Chapel, Hall-street, by the Rev Benjamin John, of Carmarthen, in the morning and evening. On the following Wednesday evening, the annual public meeting was held, when Mr James Buckley, Penyfai, occupied the chair. The meeting was addressed by the deputation, the Revs T. Male, of Bath, and W. H. Cornforth, of London, and also by the ministers of the circuit.

CARMARTHEN BOARD OF GUARDIANS. — .o uuu uu oaturday, <thue ouairman, J. Lewis Philipps, Esq., presiding. The master reported that at the commencement of the first week of the past fortnight there were 96 paupers in the Workhouse; 8 were discharged during the weec, leaving 88 at the end of the week as compared with 109 at the end of the corresponding week last year. During the second week 3 were admitted, leaving 91 at the end of the fortnight, as compared with 109 at the end of the corresponding fortnight. 56 vagrants were relieved during the first week and 60 during the second. The Rev John Hughes reported on the 2nd inst., that he had conducted divine service in the Work- house, and visited the wards and school on that day, and was much pleased with the conduct of the chil- dren. The Clerk stated that Mr Edward Whittaker, inspec- tor of registration, had recently visited this place, and had made a short report, in which he drew the attention of the guardians to the damp state of the office, and suggested that some means might be adopted to warm the room, so that the records might be properly pre- served. After the business of the Board, several guardians visited the Registration-office, and after a brief inspec- tion the Clerk was directed to procure the advice of some practical person as to the best means of heating the room. The Chairman read a letter from the Poor Law Board in reference to the increase in the salary of Mr Morris, collector of poor rates. The Commissioners saw no objection to the increase, but they said it was necessary that distinct sums should be named as Mr Morris's salaries as collector and assistant overseer. The Chairman said there could be no objection to that. Mr Morris would not object to their naming L90 as his salary as collector and £10 as assistant over- seer. The Clerk was instructed to write to the Poor Law Board to that effect. VACCINATION STATIONS. I The Chairman stated that Dr Stephens, medical officer connected with the Poor Law Board, called the attention of the medical officers of the union to the Vaccination Act of 1867, which empowered the officers to provide vaccination stations at convenient places in their districts, other than their surgery or residence of the public vaccinator, the expense of such stations to be borne by the union. The Clerk said he believed the present stations were most suitable. With regard to the expense of the stations, he mentioned that he bad spoken to Mr Thomas, of Narberth, who stated that in that union the guardians allowed half a guinea a year for each of the stations. In reply to the Chairman, Mr Lewis, one of the medical officers, said he had three stations in his dis- trict. Mr Morris, St Ishmaels, said he hoped they were not public houses. Mr Lewis-One of them is not a public house, but the other two are. Mr Edwards—What difference does it make whether the stations are public or private houses ? The Chairman-No one wonld take them into a pri- vate house. Suppose there are twenty or thirty persons with their children in attendance, how could we expect them to be accommodated in a private house ? Mr Mostyn Davies— We could not pay so much as they would require for private houses. Mr Edwards—We are bound to provide stations, and no one would give us a room in a private house fit to receive persons for 10s 6d a year. Mr Williams, Llanginniug-Let the officers choose the best places they can get. Mr Morris, St Ishmaela—Many paupers in the several districts would be glad to have half a guinea a year for the use of a room. Mr Williams, Llanginning- You would not like your wife to go to a pauper's house with the child. Mr Morris-I would rather her go to a pauper's house than to a public house. Mr Cozens-If they provide a room for the purpose in the public house, well and good but they ought not to be received in the ordinary tap-rooms. The Chairman—Is it agreed that the medical officers are to select the stations, and to make the best bargains they can ? Of course they must report to us and then we can give our consent if we approve of what they have done. Mr Mostyn Davies-Do you limit them to half a guinea a year P The Chairman-They will not exceed that amount, I am sure. Mr Lewis has three in his district, and he could perhaps tell them what the expense would be. Mr Lewis did not state any amount, but it was gene- rally understood that each station would not exceed half a guinea a year. The Master's estimate for the provisions and other necessaries required for the use of the Workhouse during the ensuing fortnight was examined and adopted. THE LIST OF PAUPERS. I Mr J. Davies, Quay-street, said a person lately re- minded him that the time was come for publishing the half-yearly list of papers, and asked him whether it was the intention of the Board to get the list printed for the half year just ended. Now, he found, frum the Clerk, that one-half the copies of the list for the half- year had been made no use of-they had not been sent out. Now, they should remember, that the list had been printed at considerable expense he could not say exactly what the expense was. (The Clerk e9 158.) That money, in his opinion, had been thrown away. (A voice No mistake about it.) Under these circum- stances he proposed that no list for the past half-year be published, for it served no good purpose what- ever. This was seconded by Mr Cozens. In reply to a question, the Clerk stated that in addi- tion to the large bundle of last year's list upon the table, he had several more in the office. Mr Mostyn Davies asked how the previous half-yearly list had been disposed of. The Clerk said he had been accustomed to tie them up in bundles for the different guardians in accordance with the population of the parishes. Mr Williams, Llanginning, said he was also op- posed to printing the list of paupers for the last half year. The Chairman-How very uncertain we are. I remember that I opposed the printing of the first list very strongly. I said Provided we subscribe and print it at our own expense, I will agree but I will not agree to put it at the public expense. Well, some of the guardians who were at first on the same side as myself by and bye gave in, and then in a short time afterwards they were unanimous in favour of print- ing the list. Mr Edwards-No, not unanimous. The Chairman-Well, as we pay for them they ought to tie given away. At first they were well distributed about the country, and then they were given away less and less. That is not the fault of the guardians I don't say it is. But what I say is, that if we go to the expense of printing the list, for goodness sake dis- tribute them about the country. Why waste the money by keeping them here ? Mr Williams, Llanginning-The first list did good, though I was against printing it. I was in favour of printing the second list because of the good done by the first. But if they are not distributed, what is the use of them ? Mr Cozens—That's what I say. If the list is good, why not distribute it. All the money paid for the last list is waste. Mr Mostyn Davies -1 don't think you can vote away the printing of the list in this way. I think a fort- night's notice should be given, in order that those guardians in favour of printing the list might have an opportunity of giving their opinion. Mr Williams, Llanginning-There is no proposition that the list be published, and I therefore do not think that Mr Davies is called upon to give a fortnight's notice. If anyone wishes the list to be printed, let him come here to propose it. Mr Dixie-If you want the list of paupers in the Carmarthen district printed, propose it, and we will consider the question but we do not want a list printed for the country districts. Mr Edwards—we don't want it in the Carmarthen district. The Cbairman-Mr Davies wants to have the sense of the meeting upon his motion. Mr Mostyn Davies-Then I will move as an amend- ment, that the printing of the list of paupers, for the last half year, be considered this day fortnight. Mr Edwards-It is very seldom we see those gentlemen here who are in favour of printing the list. They come here to propose the printing of the list in order that they might see what relief we have granted. I find that most of them are ex-officio guardians, whom we very rarely see in this room, and if they come here and propose the printing of the list for the last half year, I hope you will oppose them (hear, hear). I speak conscientiously when I say that I believe we do our utmost to keep down the expenditure and when we do this, meeting after meeting, the impudence of them calling for a list to see what we have been doing, is more than I can suffer (loud laughter). I hope you will be unanimous against it (bear, hear). Mr Mostyn Davies—What would be the effect of Mr Davies's motion ? Could you discuss the question again at the next meeting ? The Chairman-Mr Davies's motion will show the sense of the meeting to-day nothing more. Mr Cozens—I remember that a few months ago we had agreed that the printing of the list for the previous half year should be abandoned as an unnecessary ex- pense but presently an ex-officio came into the room, and almost ordered us to print it. (Laughter.) Actually, we sat down most patiently, and obeyed him without a murmur, though we had been protesting against it a few minutes before. (Laughter.) The Chairman-It is quite true that at one meeting you are all in favour of having the list printed, and at another meeting you are all against it. (Laughter.) Mr Mostyn Davies having withdrawn his amend- ment, Mr J.

CARMARTHENSHIRE REVISION COURTS. I The Court was held at Llanelly, on Friday. The Revising Barrister decided that Mr George White's qualification should be amended, and the vote allowed. Mr John Daniel's claim to be put on the £ 12 register, by the increase of his assessment, was disal- lowed. Llanedy parish.-The Liberals took 16 objections, and sustained 15; the Conservatives took 5 objections, and supported 4. On the L12 list, 6 Conservatives and ] Liberal were put on; 1 Conservative was struck off. In Llannon parish, John Oakey Brown, claiming in respect of a freehold house and lands at Coedciwfawr, was objected to by the Liberals. The value was X150, and he said he had had the property since 1863. On cross-examination he said the deed was held by Mr James Thomas, Llandilo, or his representatives. Mr Thomas had the deed from Thomas Evans, to whom the claimant was assignee, and from whom he was seeking to recover the property by an ejectment. Thomas Evans died in 1846. Claimant was the original lessee, and when the lease expired he came into the fee simple. The matter is being litigated, and an appeal has been entered in the House of Lords against the claimant, to get him out of the property. There had, in fact, been a fore-closure suit. He swore, however, that he owned a moiety of the property. His wife was in possession of the property, but did not receive the rents. He said the Master of the Rolls had decided against him, and now he bitterly repented it. (Laughter). The objection was sustained. The same man claimed for the freehold of Cwmpandy, which he had" had" since 1842, but of which he had not the deed; was not in possession, and did not know who was. (Laughter.) He had come 240 miles to support his claim. (Laughter). The objection was sustained.— A notice of objection had been served by the Conserva- tives, upon Mr William Lewis, of Nantyllan, and Mr Davies discovered that the address on the duplicate had been altered from William Bowen to William Lewis. The account given of the transaction was this: the Clerk at Mr Mansel Rees's office took the notices to the post office, and while the postmaster was assisting to sort and compare them, he found that the notice was addressed different to the duplicate.—Mr Davies said the postmaster had no right to examine the notices.— Mr -Jones said he was bound to examine them.—Mr Mansel Rees's clerk said he looked at the notice, and the postmaster at the other. On discovering the dis- crepancy, they altered it.—Mr Davies Nobody has a right to do this in the objector's absence. The post. master is the objector's father.—Mr Allen said the postmaster might tell the man there was a mistake, and if the man found that the notice did not agree with the duplicate, he could make them agree.—Mr Davies ad- mitted that Mr Challinder, the objector, might have altered the notice on his father calling attention to it; but he denied that the clerk had any right to alter it, after it had left the objector's hands, and in his absence. Mr Allen examined the clerk, and elicited that he directed all the notices, because Mr Rees ordered him. He gave them to Mr Rees.—Mr Allen then elicited from Mr Rees that he got the notices from the objector, and directed them, to save the objector trouble. He left them with the objector.—Mr Davies examined the same witness, and elicited that Mr Challinder signed the notices after they had been filled up; did not see him sign any other notices.—Mr Davies said the ques- tion was whether it was competent for anybody to alter the notice, so as to make it different to what it was I when it left the objector's hands; and to do that in the objector's absence. Mr Challinder, the objector, evi- dently meant the objection for William Bowen; but the man who altered it intended it for William Lewis. There was no security for any voter, if a notice of ob. jection, which was sent by Mr Challinder to one man, was sent by somedy else to another.—Mr Allen said it was competent to Mr Challinder to go to the post office, and if a notice was found erroneously addressed when compared with the duplicate, to alter the address. It was equally competent for him to do so by his agent. The result was, Liberal objections, 24 made, and 23 sustained; Conservatives objections, 14 made, all sus- tained. Twelve Liberals were put on the zC12 list, and four Conservatives. In Pembrey parish, Mr Boulter, a clerk in the Harbour Office, was objected to by the Conservatives Mr Davies objected that the notice was filled up after it had been signed. The claimant saw Mr Challinder, the objected, one day, and asked him what were the grounds of the Conservative objection to him. Mr Cballinder said he did not know; that he had only signed the papers. Mr Poulter then said-" He said, he had signed them in blank, as I understood. Mr Jones said he must have the exact words used. Mr Allen examined the claimant, but he could not remember them. He said that Mr Challinder said he had only filled up" the notices. The objection was allowed. Mr Jones allowed to the qualification of Mr Pratt of Llandyrru, which was described as a colliery pro- prietor." They might as well put II a horse" as the regisration. It was no more than surgeon," "builder," "banker," contractor." Mr Allen said colliery proprietor" was better than either of those because it was very likely to imply ownership of earth or lands out of which the claimant could get coal. He had frequently desired overseers to write the word objected opposite such claims.—Mr Davies said the claimant called himself the proprietor" of the place he said he was the owner of the fee simple which meant absolute ownership. Did Mr Allen think he ought to be struck off without an objection ?—Mr Allen said he thought so; but as in this case there was an ownership of the fee simple he should let it stand.—In the Con- servative objection served upon John Roberts, of Treherbert-Ystrad, Mr Davies said the word "eight" in 1868" had been struck out in pencil, and the word "nine" written in pencil, and afterwards in ink. It looked very suspicious.—Mr Allen said the notice was good. Another notice had been pencil marked in several places; and Mr Davies grumbled exceedingly about it. A rather interesting case cropped up during the revision of this list. A man named David Samuel, renting a farm called Pengroes, near Pembrey, was objected to by the Conservatives. The circumstances are these. He rented the farm from the Pemberton estate, and the landlord in March, 1868, gave him an agreement, which contained a promise to give a lease, which is usual in this part of the country. Under this agreement he built two houses. After a while the land- lord sent to him for the agreement in order to make out a lease. The lease was granted and the claimant said it was a copy of the agreement. This lease he held under from November, and it was objected that his term of legal holding was insufficient to confer a vote. —Mr Davies contended that the man had been in posession since March, that was to say an equitable possession from March, and a legal possession from November, but still possession in every respect. Mr Davies went on to contend that he had accounted for the absence of the agreement, which bound him to build, and under which he did build. The question was whether the equitable estate in a term of years would confirm the right to vote under the Reform Act of 1867. It was an equitable estate when the lease was granted, and it had been a legal estate ever since. The lease was drawn in November, and was dated to take effect from the 25th of March. Under the agreement and under the lease, the tenant was bound to pay the rent It was not a case of a lease in November without a previous agreement, promising a lease, which would be another matter, but it was a case of equitable and legal possession. Failing the lease right there was the equitable right; and rejecting the lease altogether, and assuming the estate to be simply an equitable one, the man was entitled to vote. He quoted a case in which a testator possessed a term of 999 years. He willed the terms of years to trustees for his son for life. After the death of the father, the son claimed to vote in respect of a life estate in the term. It was held that as he nad only fractionary part of the term, he was not a lessee in the meaning of the act. Chief Justice Byles said, It seems that a person who has a beneficial interest in a property which, if the interest were legal, would give him a vote, he should not be deprived of it by reason of his not possessing the legal estate." That was the very question.—Mr Jones said that the word possession meant possession under the lease. Mr Davies must not be allowed to controvert the document by evidence. If Mr Allen allowed this claim landlords would be induced to anti-date their leases in order to get votes for their tenants. -Evidence was called to prove that the value of the houses were X6 each and Mr Allen deferred his decision till the morrow. In another instance, Mr Jones objected that a notice of objection served on Mr Cornelius Cole had only the words Cor- nelius" inside.—Mr Allen ruled that as Cornelius Cole" was on the inside of the notice, Mr Cole felt bound to open it, and the objection would stand.—The result was seventeen Conservative objections taken and proved seven Liberal objections taken and proved. In Llangennech parish, the Conservatives took seven objections and proved five of them. In Llanelly parish, a singular case arose. The notice of objection was signed by Mr Isaac Arnold, and shortly before the case came on, Mr Isaac Arnold had been struck off the register. Mr Jones argued that the objection was invalid, inasmuch as the objector must be a voter, and on the register.—Mr Allen said it was a nice point, and he did not know of any case upon it.- Mr Jones said that in "Rogers" the words used were, The right of the objector to be on the register must be undoubted" Mr Allen said that if there was no list he must return the old one.—Mr Jones argued that the person who held a leasehold in a parliamentary borough had not an undoubted right" to be on the register.- Mr Allen said they could not impugn the register.—Mr Davies said the register was good enough until it eame before the court. The words of the Act were, In every year, every person who shall be on the register for the time being shall be capable of objecting."—Mr Jones urged that the notice of objection was not con- summated until it came before the Revision Barrister and the fact was that when this particular notice came before the Barrister, the objector was not on the regis- ter.—Mr Allen said the objection was served before to- day.—Mr Jones: And at that time the objector had no A\:aonY-reservecffi is Jè cision.—Mr Jones said he should probably ask for a case.—J ohn Harries, near the Falcon Bridge, was ob- jected to by the Conservatives and in the notice, the name of the parish was omitted, thus, Take notice, that I object to your name being on the list of voters for parish." The Liberals objected that the information given to the voter was insufficient. The man might be on the list for half-a-dozen polling dis- tricts, yet he was not told which court to attend, in order to support his vote. It was not at all unlikely that in this case the man might go all round the circuit, before he found out which vote was to be attacked. Last year this question was raised, and Mr Henry Allen (the then Revising Barrister) rejected more than forty notices of objection on that ground. The notice was not in the form given in the sohedule,—Mr Jones opposed this, and quoted a case, but Mr Allen ruled that this was not in point, and overruled the objection. The name stood. A second and a third case, exactly like,the one reported above, were found directly after- wards, and the objection in these cases, too, was dis- allowed. -Another point raised was in the case of Mr William Samuel, who claimed for leasehold premises, situate in Church-street, Spring Gardens. The pre- mises comprised stables and coach-houses, counting house, warehouses, &c. The Conservatives objected to the vote on two grounds, firstly, as to value, but secondarily and primarily, on these circumstances: The claimant let out the various stables, coach-houses, &c., to tenants, and occupied the counting house, tan yard, and other premises, himself. The question then arose-could the claimant vote for the county in respect of a borough leasehold, he himself occupying the premises; or in this case, part of the premises. It was argued that although parts of the premises were underlet, the section of the Act of Parliament forbid- ding residence, was not got rid of. On Saturday, Mr Jones took evidence as to value, and abandoned his objection on that point.—Mr Samuel stated that he had always intended to claim for all the stables, but it ap- peared from the register that he only claimed for one of them. Mr Jones therefore asked Mr Samuel if he would wish to amend his claim, and claim for the whole of the premises.—Mr Davies, however, cautioned Mr Samuel not to do so. After a little discussion, Mr Jones said he must abandon his objection. — The result of the inquiry into Llanelly parish was-Conservatives, 162 objections taken, 132 proved, and 30 new claimants put on Liberals, 28 objections taken, 25 proved, a.163 new claimants put on. LLANGENDEIRNE. The Court sat here on Monday, at 11 o'clock, and took (first of all) the parish of Llandefeilog. Thomas Jones, of Llanarthney, claiming in respect of a freehold house and garden adjoining Capel, was objected to by the Liberals. The lease was for two lives. At the house was a general shop, kept by his daughter, who was married to a Thomas Watkins. The premises were worth X7 annual value, and were assessed at f6. Watkins was rated. Claimant got flour and sent it to Watkins to sell Watkins had never paid a penny for rent. He gave his daughter something for keeping the shop. He was tenant, and Watkins had nothing to do with the house. The objection was not allowed. The Liberals took six objections, and proved five; two being objected to by both parties, and one was on another list. The Conservatives took and proved four objec- tions. The new claims were-three Liberals, three Conservatives, and one Neuter. They are included in the above list of objections. In Kidwelly parish, Mr Blathwayt (Conservative) was struck off; but he is on elsewhere. One new Liberal and one Conservative were put on. In the parish of St. Mary, Kidwelly, there were twelve new Liberal and five Conservative claimants put on. The Conservatives took and proved four objec- tions. In St. Ishmael parish there was no point of interest raised, excepting in several cases of deeds held by building societies, and the payments thereto bringing the annual value too low. There was a case in which a Liberal objection was objected to by Mr Jones, because the christian and surnames were not alike on the notice and duplicate; in fact they were transposed in one case. Mr Allen however held the notice was good. In the whole parish, there were ten Liberal and four Con- servative claims; thirteen Liberal objections were taken, and ten sustained; five Conservative objections were taken and sustained. In Llanddarog parish James Aaron, claiming in respect of a freehold, was objected to by the Liberals. There had been a great deal of litigation about the property, and the claimant had succeeded in proving his title and deed, also discharged a mortgage on the pro- perty. He could not, however, produce his deeds, as they were given in pledge for S8, lent him by Mr Mor- ley, a neighbour, in order to defray the costs of the last action. The objection was disallowed—John Jones, of Groeswen, was objected to by the Liberals. The claimant brought a letter from Mr John Jones, agent to Mr Mansfield, stating that the property had been leased for the life of the claimant and his father; that the father was dead, and that the claimant had held the property since his father's death, and had built a house
