I n»e pre\ailii)g z.al for tlie refonw of tluuvli aUuxf^ i e for depriving the clcrg^y uf their pn» l»erl.v, lias lately cxhibitecl itself in o very strong liifht amnn^st the inhabitants of the ancient vvy ( hester, whose petition Oil this subject wa< J.is: uuk presentetl in the llmi«e of Commons by I'Wtl Uubcrt (xrtisvenor, oife of the tit) IIIcmhns be ii t,, in the In ahu"" ical or supposed, within the dioctse of that the petitiotiers pra)cil the inter- of the legislature to precure Rn auglllellta !ti"n of the income of their wmthy dioecsan, that wliit-li he now eijoys bi jng very i.iadei|nate to his the L ( ominous to relieve i. i We>tininster, and the | trther pattiotic land owne.a in Cheshire, from the immense thnrch patronage with "hith thev arc hurdene !ttr that they entreated "line reli1 on kehulf of the neighboring farmers fiom tlietythes whiih are there preitv ?tr,ctly exacted. 'f any one of our readers imagine that the Chea petition related to »ny of these mutters i'e is | mightily mistaken. The Cestrians care for none ofthe,e things. Generonslv disinterested as to the tUfte of affairs at home, they have determined upon a crusade abroad, and the Principally is the ^h-stitie which they are resolved to deliver from *ltr grasp of the chuith. The petition in fact complains of the enormous incomes of the bishops of St. Asaph and Bangor, the number of lay im. propriators, the non-residence of the clergv, the inequality of livings, the amount of tithes, and the thousand and-one other evils, which radical wisdom has of late found to spring from a Church which inculcates the illiberal doctrine that it is incum- bent oil all inen to fear God and honour the Kimt We shall not at present enter into any refutation of the charges made against the clerical establish lIIent in Wales in this petition, but shall confine ourselves to the simple expression of our wonder, that none of the abuses enumerated therein have ever been the subject of complaint from those who are represent d as the sufferers under these abuses. Had the inhabitants of the dioceses of St. Asaph and Raugor petitioned the legislature, the Cestrians might have backed Ihcm by u snpplcmentuy peti- tion, ns a mark of neighbourly kindness; but as the mattei stands at present, while no complaint has been uiade on the part of those alleged to be injured, tlie conduct of the good folks of Chester must be considered as too neighbourly by half. In conclusion, we have to offer a few remarks in regard to the petitioners, and the noble lord by whom their petition was presented. The city of Chester contains a population of upwards 211,000 persons. Of these the tuujoiity of the upper and middling classes are decidedly attached to the Church as by law estahlished,- Two or three thousands of the inhabitants, how ever, are Socinian Dissenters, men possessed of a deep and settled hatred to the Church establish- ment, and who are ever on the watch for oppur Utilities of exhibiting that hatred. The petition in question is signed by 100 persons only, out of a population of upwards of 20,000, a circumstance which, "hen coupled with the foregoing explanation, renders it very easy to detect the persons and mo tives it originates from. As to the noble lord by whom the petition was presented, be must, for family reasons, have felt rather cOlllieal quceridi, while performing this duty In liisconstituents His lordship is a younger son of the Marquis of Westminister, a nobleman possessed of church property and patronage to a greater extent than almost any other of his order ill Englalld, Yet, in the face of this circutnstanc, his lordship not 0111" presents ti e Chester petition against Ihe abuses uf the Wc1sh Church, but speechifies as IUllg and loud against those abuses as though not one farthing's worth of church property had ever passed thrnllh the tinkers of his family. Consistency may at presellt be ullfa.I>Îollahle, but ,till it is not the less cnmnieiidahle, neither is a contrary line of conduct the less despicable, al though supported in the present day by high exainples. We should therefore advise L'ird It Urosvenor not to make any further display of his eloquence on the subject of Church abuses, until his noble father is able, with clear hauds, 10 come illto his place, in the upper house, to second his efl'.rts.

We have this week the pleasure of announcing to our readers, the intelligence of the decision of a committee of the House of Commons, declaring Major Nannev to be the representative in Parlia- ment of the Carnnrvonsldre Bnrtu!{lIs, and setting atitle the return of Ihe Bailiffs of CallJanon in favour of Sir Charles Paget. Fe%v (:r none ofoiii- readers requiic to be ill formed that the return of Sit- C. Paget was occasioned by an illegal majority in his favour, created by ad- mitting the votes of the potwallopel's of Pwllheli into the list or c!t'tUIS polll',1 at Ihe time of electilln The return of Sir Charles was petitioned against by the other candidate. Major Nannev, in whose favour a majority of legal votes had appeared on the poll-books, ai d the petition was referred to a committee 10 be lialloited for in the usual manner. Oil Tuesday the 5th instant, the following Itlemhers Were chosen by ballot to form the com wittee: Sir Matthew White Ridley, Bai-t. ('Iiaijrnan- IW, Sir (Icorge Thomas Staunton, Bart.—South Hampshire. I.;nvr,*nce Olipbant, Esq — Perth. Robert Palmer, Esq.—Berkshire. John Itrock'ehurst. jun Esq—Macclesfield. Edward Southwell Ruthven, L-q.—Dublin. Viscount Cole, —l'ermanag ishire. Si'? K"/ht..t 'F?nh!.u?.')?,t. ')'tt,rs)t. Charles Russell, Esq.—Reading. W. Ralph Cartwright, Esq—South Noithainp- toesliire. J ,hu Kenton, Esq.—Rochdale. On Wednesday the titli, the Committee pro eeeded to business, and after a very short hearing of the candidates, and having examined Ilr. Bailiff Rowlands, of Camanun, James Hughcs, Esq, of Abenstwith, pronounced their decision, which was reported to the House the same evening by the Chairman, in the following terms, TJIAT 8m CHARLES PAGET WAS NOT DULY ELECTED, AND THAT THE NAME OF MAJOR OWEN JONES ELLIS NANNEY O{OHT TO HA \'E BEEN IN THE RETURN' INSTEAD." In c< nsequencc of this decision, Major Naiiney took the oaths and his seat as Mem- ber for tile Curuununshire Boroughs on Friday last. By ti e above decision the last desperate attempt of II uuschicvotis faclioii.tnove Hhclin tlu. freedom uf election in these IJIIHinghs is dcfcutt:ll ;-anå the future independence of the Caniaivonshire boioughs is effectually secured. While the independent electors of these horoughs hail with delight the decision of the legislature above quoted, we trust they will not lie deficient in a just feeling of giatitude to those who first taught thelll to know their owu strength, and to estimate the true value of their own constitutional l'iKhts, To their late member, Mr. Ormshy Gore, a deep debt of gratitude is due on this account. Until that gentleman started in 1830, as a candidate for their representation, these boroughs were consi dered its a hereditary possession of the House of Paget, as a mere convenience for seating one or other of the numerous members of that family in Parliament. During the short period of Mr. Gore's representation, he shewed his constituents the benefits sure to arise to a constituency possessing an active, industrious, and independent representa- tive and although he was unsuccessful in the contest for the representation in 1831, even the unfortunate result of that struggle, which he main- tained to the last, taught the independent party not to despair, for though defeated, they could never be subdued while they remained true to themselves. The present representative ami the other resi. dent proprietors in Carnarvonshire, also deserve the best thanks of the freemen of the boroughs.— When Major Nanney entered upon the contest, he was supported by all the influential resident gentry of the country, who voluntarily gave him their interest, not from party or selfish motives, but from the patriotic desire of relieving the Carnar vnnshire Boroughs from the slavery of nomination, and themselves from the stigma unjustly cast upon them, lhat there could not be found amongst them a man capable of representing the Boroughs oflhis native country. Animated by the generous aid of their well- wishers, and by their own innate love of freedom, the independent burgesses have again fought and finally conquered, and the I-estilt of their victory is the future political freedom and independence of the Carnarvonshire Boroughs. This is a pure source of unsullied tiiumph tn all who love the welfare and prosperity of their country. But while the independent electors i-e- joice in their victory, let tln in beware of disgracing their cause by the display of malignant feeling to wards their late opponents. The battle has been fought gallantly and won faidy,-reconciliation, on the basis of good will for '.he future, and nhli, vion of the past, is now the proper line of conduct to be pursued by both parties. As we have all along advocated warmly "and consistently that side of the question which we espoused honestly and independently, we trust we shall be excused for saving a few words depreca- tory of any hostile feeling which may yet exist in the minds of some of our readers towards Sir (J, Paget and his honest adherents. In regard to Sir Charles himself, let it be re- membered that he strove for the representation of the Carnarvonshire Boroughs, not from personal ambition, but as a duty which he conceived he owed to his noble family, by strengthening its in tercst in parliament; anti let it not be forgotten, that, however disqualified both by his politics and his profession for the seat he sought to occupy, still, throughout the whole contest, his personal conduct was honest, affable, anti gentlemanly in the extreme. Of the electors who voted for Sir Ciiiirles Paget, some were influenced by gratitude for personal benefits formerly received from the House of Pa get,—others, by a sturdy independence of spirit, which although we may regret the exercise of in a wrongeause, we cannot detest, much less despise. Many others, who took not the trouble to think for themselves, can only be considered as the dupes of those sell interested, lean and hungry, political and religious agitators to whom, and to whom alone, the inhabitants of the Carnarvon shire Boroughs owe those heart burnings and fer ments with which they have been cursed for the last two years.—But whatever the motives whieh actuated those electors who bestowed their suf frames on Sir Charles Paget, it becomes the vic- torious party to recollect that these electors only exercised their indisputable political right in voting according to their own will or that of those to whom they choose, however unwisely, to give up their judgment. Let Iherefore no political aversion longer «!ivide tfee elector<- 10 .hili¿.d I society man is ever iu a thousand ways dependant oil his fellow-man, and every attempt to sever the social links of mutual kindness which bind neigh bour to neighbour, must tend to the injury of both. Let both parties therefore bury all animo sity, and for the future be only distinguished by that noble rivalship in acts of kindness and good will to one another, for which, in better times, no civilized community ever was more renowned than the Men of Arvon. As forthe contemptible and worthless agitators, who, fur their own selfish purposes, raised in this once peaceful district that storm of political ran- cour which we hope is now happily laid for ever, we deem their conduct unworthy of comment, and therefore leave them to the scorn of the party whom they opposed,—the detestation of the party whom they lJetrayed,-and the torturing agitation of their own consciences. Since writing the above, we have heard that the old original agitators are not yet contented with the mischief they have wrought, but are busied urging Sir Charles Paget to throiv airny good money qfier had," by petitioning against the deei siou of the Committee. The more mischief the bet. tei- sport, has long beellthe motto of .the conlempt ible beings whose falsehoods and flatteries have led Sir Charles into his present disagreeable pre dieament-and in conformity with that motto, they appear discontented with having only one defeat, but if they are willing to give Major Nan ney two victories instead of one, there can be no objection. Letters from the forlorn hope in Lon- don have been received in Carnarvonshire, con. taining assurances that the opinions of the first Counsel in the kingdom had been obtained, to the effect that Sir Charles is sure to succeed by pe- titioning. So the agitators said before, but un fortunately the opinions which they had then pro cured were sut at nought by the election committee. We have, however good reason to believe that Sir Cbailes will no longer suffer himself to be duped by a few mischievous and self interested individuals, but will at once restore the peace of the Boroughs by a prompt and manly resignation of his hopeless claim.

DIOCESE OF BANGOR.—On the \?5th of January last, upon the nomination of the Rev. Hugh Price, M, A. the Lord Bishop of the Dioccse was pleased to license, by commission, the Rev. T, B. L. Browne, B. A. Scholar of Jesus College, Ox ford, to the curacy of Llangelvnin, Carnarvon- shire.—Commissary, the Rev. John Owen, M. A. BANGOR BKEWERV —We are happy to find that the inhabitants, of this city and neighbourhood, can now procure good and wholesome ale and porter brewed in the district; the spirited pro prietors of the Bangor Brewery sparing neither trouble nor expense to supply publicans and fami- lies with excellent malt liquors at the most mode- rate p1'Îces.ee advt. CONTESTED ELECTION—CARNARVONSHIRE Bo. ROI'GIIS.—So confident were the friends of Major Nanney of the justice of the grounds on which he petitioned against the return of Sir C. Paget, that they offered no objection to Lord Cole, SIR CHARLES'S NEPHEW, sitting as a member of the Election Committee, which tried the validity of his uncle's return on Wednesday. After this, we belieie it will be acknowledged, evco in Pwllheli, that honours beat tricks. We are informed, that the Recorder of RhyddJan "as last week brought to London, in order to pre, that at Rhyddlan potwallopers are allowed to vote at elections for members of parliament, as collateral evidence of what ought to be the rule at P?viih?li. This is evidence from afar off. Were the Pvyllheli potwallopers to obtain the franchise it would mightily augment the intere.t of the lion, LI. Mostyn in these boroughs PWLMIEM.—The fair held here on Tuesday last, the 5th instant exhibited It very goo show of cattle. The demand run principally upon in ealf cows, which went off readih at frol1l JJ) to £10 IOs. As high prices were asked, the greater number of bullocks and heifers remained unsold. The shew of horses was large, but no demand. An awful instance of sudden death occurred at Ba:VtI(:afl::de. íl::I'II, I the name of David Owen, retired to rest on the evening of that day, in perfect health, but lie had hardly laid himself down when his wife heard him groan heavily. On enquiring if he was unnell -he fonnel liiin, as she supposed in a fit. 11.Jo-. JI"ghes, druggist, was immediately sent for, anti attended without loss of time, but befure his ariival the vital spark had fled. AN ASSASSIN APPREHENDED AT LIVERPOOL—On Saturday, William Parkinson, head constable, ob tabled some inforruation relative to James Hoyle, asainst whom was a warrant from Ireland, charging him, the said James DOJle, with shooting olle 01 his Majesty's subjects in Ireland. Pai kinsoo, ac eompanied by two officers, proceeded immediately to Litherland, where they found the offender at work with another man, in a field near the church, where he was employed by John Gladstone, Esq He wis secured and brought to Liverpoo l au d is now in tliS Borough Gaol. FATAL ACCIDENT THE RAILROAD.—On Satur- day week an accident, followed by a loss of life, occurred on the Railway. An engine with a train of goods was Oil its journey to Manchester, when, in descending the Sutton incline, the break became unmanageable. The consequence w as, that the en gine acquired an impetus which threw it off the rails. The engineer, named M'Cannis, was knock ed off the teuder on to the road, and the w heel of the train went over his legs. The unfortunate man was brought to Liverpool, hut lie was so much injurecllhat he died before he could be carried to the infirmary. Another man was slightly maimed by the same accident, but he is cxpeetetllo recover in a few days.—Liverpool Albion. ANCIENT ENGLISH COIN.—A few davs ao a man digging in the garden of the episcopal palace of this city, discovered a sixpence or tester of the coinage of James the 1st. It was dated in 1603, the first year of James's reign, and bears his pro- file, crowned and robed, surrounded by the follow- ing inscription :—"JACOBUS. D. G. ANG. SCO. FilA, ET. HIU. REX, On the reverse are the arms of England,Scotland,France,and Ireland, quartered, surmounted by the date 1G 3, and surrounded by the following inscription.—" EXURCAT. DEIS. DISSIPENTVE. IMMIGI." The coin had evidently been much in circulation previous to its deposition in the soil, as it is worn very thin, and the impress on both sides much d«"aced. MELANCHOLY DEATH.—On Tuesday last, Mr. Thomas Edwards, of St. Asaph, went to the hank of the river Clwyd, about half a mile distant from that town, and, after throwing off part of his clothes, cast himself into the water. Derange- ment occasioned by pecuniary embarrassment, is alleged as the cause of the unhappy act. The un- fortunate man's clothes being discovered by some persons passing, led in a search forthe body, which was found on Wednesday afternoon. A coroner's inquest was held at the Bull, St. Asaph, when the jury returneil a verdict to the effect that the de ceased had drowned himself while under the in fluence of temporary derangement. Poor Ed wards has left a widow and eleven children to la- ment his untimely fate. EFFECTS OF THE LATE GALE.—We-are indebted tu a respectable correspondent, at lIolyl1ead, for the following notice regarding the disastrous ef- fects of the late stormy weather Oil that coast:— I have to inform you that neither of the vessels which went on shore during the last gale, hare been got off. The Martha and Utenhouse have discharged their cargoes, and I suppose will be either got off or broke up in a few days. Several attempts have been made to float the Geoige, which sunk in the innutii of the harb.iur, but without success. The wreck of the schooner Industry, of Liverpool from Terceira, which was run down by a large American schooner, has been floating about here for the last few days. The boats have been out to her, but did not save any thing, but a few chests of oranges. CHESTER FAIU.—The ho n and hoof fair, on Thursday week, was very well attended, but the wcaiher was unfavourable. The supply of horses was by no means so great as we have known it oil former oceisioiis good ones unusually scarce, and went off briskly at goud prices. Inferior horses were abundant, and remained a complete dreg upon the hlOdi of the sellers. In the cattle market beef was scarce, and fat feasts maintained good prices—(jit. to 6fd. per 11). Piss and sheep were likewise scarce, and sold at an increased price. There was a tolerable show of cows; in calf at an advance; others went off at fair prices. Oil Wednesday, the day preceeding, a large quantity of ehecse was pitched inboth Hails, nearly tbe whole of which was sold at prices rather low- from 45s. to 50s. per ewt, A very few dairies fetched 58s. CAITION—STAMP RECEIPTS In spite of the caution which we gave the public some time back as to the dauger of giving receipts on unstamped paper for sums amounting to £ 2 or upwards, we are sorry to find that a person has lately been foolish enough to grant an acknllwledgement on plaill paper for a partial payment ofX5 to account of a larger sum due him. The consequence is that the honest debtor now not only refuses pay- ment of the balance, but tlneatens his creditor with astamp uffice prosecution. Wemust admit that any man who wilfully defrauds the revenue for the ;ake of saving a lew pence is worthy of the punishment which the laws inflicts on such-of- fenders;—but we must add that the guilt of snch a man is as nothing in point of moral turpitude, cotnpaied with that of the wretch who takes ad van- tage of the hurry or thoughtlessness of his neigh- bour to obtain a document whereo i to ground a basc alld malignant prosecution. In future tho-e wh" lodge inf"rmalions ,of this nature may de pend uport the most honourable notoriety bcini given to their names and actions, that the public may be enabled duly to appreciate their characters LONGEVITY.—The following isalist of old people upwards of 80 years of age, now living, and 1)? )on)!iog t..thep'?ish«fU.'?.t(;hreth.??io!x'th- .,hire ??wenCa?

ANNIVERSARY OF SAINT DAVID. AT C'ONWAY.—On Friday, the Ist instant, the members of the Conway Friendly Society assem- bled to celebrate the seventh anniversary of their meeting on Gwyl Dewi Sunt; and, preceded by their banner, a band of music and the Trustees (,f the Society, moved on to Hose Mill, the residence of their worthy vicar, the Itev, John Owen, IJIII, owing to his lady's state of health, were rieterred from paying their usual tribute of respect, ami de prived of the honour of seeing the Rev. errtlelllau joill in the procession.

J. Owen, a most g discourse, suiie i to the occasion, was delivered by the llev. Griiffth Williams, LlansaintflVaid. From church they marched to Castle-street, where they were divided into companies,and proceeded to the several house* appointed, at which they enjoyed a good and substalltlul dinner, their C¡11:1utum sufficit of cwrw da, and returned to their homes, heaitily pleased with themselves aud the enjoyment of the day. We feel proud of the task of giving publicity to the follow ing list of honorary metwi/ers belong- ing to the ahove society: viz—Sir Dinid Er..kinc, Ba t j Hev, John Owen; Major Borrows; Major Howard; J.C.Jones, Esq Bryn Eisteddfod; T. l.loyd, Esq.

Owen, ditto; Miss Iloward; Mr^.Chambres Jones, Bryu Eisteddfod > and Miss D. Ellis, Dyffryn. CIIESTKR.— The anniversary of this day was ce lebrated on Friday last, by the members of the Chester Cambrian Society, and well-w ishers of that institution, dining together at Mr. Pembrey's, the Hop pole Inn, where the la>ge detached room was most tastefully lilted up for their reception, with a rare climbination of Paphian bowers and heraldic decorations, the latter (tlie coats armorial of the noble families oftlie. tie igiiboti painted and arranged by the skilful hands of Mr. 8. Blown, who if he does not hold the rank of Garter King- at-anns of this county palatine, certainly deserves so to do. As a mark of respect to the worthy host and hostess, w ho spared neither lrouhle or expense on this occasion, no less than 179 tickets were taken but, owing to various causes, not more than between GO and 70 gentlemen sat down to dinner The Hon. Edward ilostyn Lloyd Mostyn, M, P. presied, supported on his right by Ilichatd Pules ton, Esq. Vincent Corbett, Esq. John Dymock, Esq. O'Brien, Esq. R. Brittain Esq.; and on his left by C. Morrall, Esq. J. Finchett Maddock, Esq. R. J. Mostyn, Esq. Rev. T. M. Davies, and Thomas Finchett Maddock. Esq. Mr. Thomas Whitley, at the especial request of the chairman, occupied the vice president'schair, in the unavoida ble absence of Robert lIIiddeltnn Biddulph, Esq. M. P. The usual loyal and patriotic toasts were given, including of course the standing toastof the day, Anmrwol g'?1!;I(IIV"¡aetf, Dewi Salll" (the immortal memory of Saint David), and several convivial and complimentary ones also in the course of the evening. The hilarity of the even ing was also considerably increased by Penillion singing, accompanied by the harp; by one or two exquisite melodies, warbled with peculiar taste and skill. bv Captain Puleston; and by the fa- vourite sn, ah, let the kind minstrel" which was given in his best style, by Mr. Edward Parry. In the course of the evening, a well merited tribute of respect was paid to the noble and patriotic father of the hori. chairman (Lord Mostyn) who was at that time presiding at the meeting of the aitiient tlrit..iÎs in the Metropolis. Major Motrnll also eulogised the services of the Rev. Evan Evans, the chaplain of the institution. Captain Puleston presented small donations from two ladies, and 31r. E. Parry, the secretary, gave a very favollrable account of the state of the funds of the Chester Cambrian Society, which combines with the an, I nual celebration of St. David's Day, the laudable object of providing the means of religious instruc tion for the poorer natives of the Principality resi- dent in Chester, by enabling them to hear the word of God in their native language. IIVEIIPOoL.-The children of the Welsh Charity Schools assembled in the school room in Russei street, Liverpool, aOlI, accompanied hy a great num- her of the friends of the institution, proceeded to St David's cli it i-cli, where service was read in Welsh by the cuiate, the Rev. Evan Jones, of St. David's College, Cardiganshire, and an appropriate Welsh sermon was preached by the minister, the Rev. R. Davies, from St. John, v. 14, flehol(i thou art made whole, sill nomore, lest a worse thing happen unto yon." After church, an interesting examina- tion of the children of the Schools took place in the school room, in Ihe presence of the friends of the charity and the paints of or the children. The proficiency of the boys and girls in reading, writing anil scripture instruction afforded much satisfaction. In the evening the Directors and friends dined to. gether at the Adelphi Hotel.
