4 I THE « REBECCA" RIOTS. Up to the hour of OUT going to preM, we have heard bo fresh attempts at riots since the visit of the mob to the .rkhoose at Carmarthen last week though we regret to te, that the destruction of gates at night continues on. •ted. A letter from onr Correspondent at Cardigan, ted on Wednesday last, savs-" As was anticipated, Re- cca and her daughters" paid ns a visit last Friday night; By were about 150 in number, disgnised, armed with guns, 'ords, scythes, pickaxes, pitchforks, &c. They first of demolished the gate on the Cardigan Common, built out two years ago, at an expense of nearly 1001.; they terwards went thiongh the town, firing their gnus occa. •nally towards the Rhydyfuwch gates, the upper one of "cli they destroyed in about twenty minutes; it took them 'e quarters of an hour to take down the gate on the >nimon. On Monday night, about 120 of the Royal Marines r'ved from Pater in a steamer, about 70 left for Newcastle oilyn yesteiday. All is quiet here at present. New Inn te, twelve miles from here, on the Aberyitwith road, was 'stroyed on Monday night. One of the Dragoons was owned in the river Tivv at Newcastle Emlyn, on Monday renins» last, while bathing in company with five others. o doubt a;1 the rioters who took our gates down on Friday fibt, wete from the immediate neighbourhood, excepting Ie or two, who had come from a distance to organize the irty." A rumour had reached Bristol on Tuesday last, by the 'hxnix steamer, from Carmarthen, which port she left on tiesday morning, that a collision bad taken place in the eiglibonrhood of Fishguard, between the military and the loters, and that eight of the former and thirteen of the "ter had been killed. From the date of our Cortes- ondent's letter above noticed, and from the proximity of 'sliguard to Cardigan, we must conclude that, if the above ePort had any foundation in truth, it certainly would have cached him at the period he wrote. A most important meeting of the Magistrates ofCarmar- hensllire and Cardiganshire washetd at the Salutation Inn. t Newcastle Lmlyn, on Friday last. It was understood \8o, that delegates from several parishes within the turn- "ke trust of Newcastle Emlyn, would attend, and large lodies of the farmers and peasantry were congregated in the own. At oue o'clock, the delegates being introduced into he room— The Hon. Colonel TREVOR took the chair. He said,—Gentle- men, I am extremely sorry that on this occasion it becomes my lutj to appeoT before the public in this neighbourhood in my opacity as the civil representative of this county, under a position of affairs of which I have not seen the like for 20 years and upwards. It is with the greatest grief and pain that I have learned that the men of this county have so far forgotten, not only what is due to the majesty of the law, but also what is due to >eir own characters as peaceable and dutiful subjects, as to com- *nii those acts, of outrage and violence which have taken place tl 1 ^ave represented this county for 23 years, and during tie whole of which period I have had no reason to complain of the respect with which I have been treated by the whole county, and of ils peaceable character before; but now it is with the greatest pain that I am obliged to say that outrages have been committed of a very gross character and which cannot be fullered to continue. I say this to you, that I may endeavour to indUce you not to place yourselves in collision with the law, nor end against it; if you do so you may escape for a time, but depend upon it the Government will send such a force into the county as will put down these outrages- I am told that you explain of certain grievances, but it is not necessary for me 10 go mto them; for when I say that the magistrates and myself, who have spent the greater part of onr lives in the county, are both willing and anxious to redress all grievances, which mav be Proved to be to. 1 am sure you will believe us, In order. that there mny be no mistake respecting this matter, I have written "°wti what the magistrates are willing to do. and will read it to •>ou- Colonel Trevor then read as follows:- We are willing Joat every grievance that can be proved to exist, and wbich can be remedied, should be removed, either in the administration of tne funds of the trust, or by the erection of new gates, or by 1"crease of tolls. For that purpose we will name a committee of trustees and tallyholders, to go into all the accounts of the trust; and at that committee Mr. Hall shall attend, if he wishes it, on yourbebatf." We have said that Mr. Hall shall attend (said Colonel Trevor), because he attends here as your advocate, and as far as figures can show he shall be satisfied. The gallant Colonel then resumed the reading of the written document—" If an! point of law should arise, counsel's opinion shall be taken. by which the trustees must abide until set aside by the decison of 8 court of law." This portion has been inserted because you know that the trustees are bound by oath to respect the rights of those who have lent money to the trusts; therefore, in case of any difficult point, counsel's opinion will be taken, by which the trustees will abide until it be set aside by a court of taw and let nie tell you, a" a friend as well as having the civil power of the county placed in my hands, that the way to redress grievances IN not either by outrage or tumult, but by the law. Colonel Trevor then resumed his reading,-r-" The magistrates have bad force of troops put at their disposal by the Government, and though they are willing to redress all that is amiss, they cannot give way to force, and must put down all disturbances, the Go. vemment being ready to increase the number of troops, if neces- **ry." It would give me the greatest pain (saidColonel Trevor) to use those troops against men, to many of whom I am under eP obligations, and in whose bouses and cottages I have often Received refreshment for, believe me, I am always proud to go '"to the houses of my countrymen, and can say, whatever may he tbeir conduct in other respects, their hospitality is proverbial. Let me beg of you, then, my men, not to force me to do what 1 shall do, however much I regret it, if necessary to the perfor- mance of my duty, nor to force me to order those troops to fire ou you. Cast away those busy meddlers who have interfered with iOu, and thus led you astrav, for that these are not your own acts know. But remember, if the law is violated, it must be vindi- cated—if it is violated, and force be used, remember the troops InUIt resist force by force. If you have grievances, we are ready to redress them then come with your complaints to the gentlemen who are your neighbours, and you may depend upon their being attended to, but for your own sakes avoid attending nightly meet- ings, and committing acts of outrage, which will be ruinous to you. Recollect also, that there is a gentleman to whom you have ^trusted your complaints, and that he willrepresentthem.no <J°ubt, properly, but that he cannot do so if these outrage* are ^ntinued. At there may be some in the room now who are small tallyholders, 1 would have them recollect what madness it is in them to at all countenance such outrages, for by destroying the gates you are destroying yotir own funds, for if the trustees can not pay the interest jeu cannot receive it; besides, if you let the roads get out of repair, you willl be compelled 10 repair them pelves, and have indictments or presentments laid against you Sorter sessions, and in addition to being fined perhaps or 400/ but if vou will only rest quietly for a little while, and" -D(^ ''le ^ur^ens t',e extra tolls will be removed, tr' "V*8-nS *8 you well know that I am not a trustee of this rust, bot 1 have felt it my duty to inquire, and have received ome information on the subject whether it be true or not I annot say, but I must say that I think your complaints have been wn?!, exaggerated. If, however, there be real grievances they 'U be redressed, but I must again repeat that all outrage must .p Put down. We, the magistrates, make no bargain with you, u« we are willing, as I have said, to inquire into and redress any *ea'grievances if however these outrages are continued, then we must withdraw from what has been said by us as to the ap- pointment of a committee, &C. The gallant Colonel then re- quested Mr. Llovd to explain the paper he had read to them »«> Welsh. In Welsh. Mr. I 'LOVD, of Bronwydd, then explained the written paper to "■era in Welsh, and addressed them in Welsh, of which the fol- lowing is a translation.— Friends and neighbours, I regret my inability to speak the Welsh language fluently, but I hope you ■•nay understand me. Wre are come here to benefit the country and to restore peace, after the outrages which have disgraced it. are come here lo hear your grievances and tbe burdens with which you are oppressed and if such crievanoexand burdens 11 II all be satisfactorily proved, we shall be most willing to rectify '"em, and, if necessary, entirely lo remove thein. We, there- fore propose tbe formation of a Committee for the purpose of 1,|vesti«ating the affairs tf the Newcastle trust and we are also desirous that the hon. gentleman Mr. Hall, who is the advocate °f a very considerable district, should always sit on such Com- inkttee, so that he may see the acoounts of the trust thoroughly A.lIll(>lIllgaled and published. My friends, I speak the language °f the magistrates present as well as Inv own when [ express the sincere sorrow we feel that this hitherto peaceable county has been the scene of outrages that would disgrace the land of the Assert, and that, in consequence of these outrages, the Govern- ment have deemed it necessary to send the military amongst us. 1\1,' frionds, I could hardly credit what I heard I said. "SuretJ tIlls is not the work of Welshmen, there must be foreigners amongst the Welsh, urging them on to their ruin." Is this the .p"aceable county that has done as much, if not more, for the cause of religion than any other county? Is this the mode to redress vour grievances? Can you prosper by violating the law? Are you, my friends, inferior in loyalty to your brethren in North Hal«»? When Hetheringlon, the Chartist, was sen'toLlanidlo«s be failed to execute his mission in stirring up the people to revolt *or he said the Welsh were too religious a people publicly *'°late the laws. There is no grievance that cannot he redressed 1/1 a peaceable and constitutional manner. Then, my friends, in the name of God, put a stop to proceedings so scandalous and disgraceful. I am old enough to remember the Frcnch imMiun. when every man, woman, and child, was up and in arms 10 resist the ruthless invader, and are vou become so degenerate ? Will jou continue to disgrace the country, and to destroy thnt character for valour and loyalty handed down to Jou by your ancestors lrotn Agincouit and Minder, to Waterloo? My friends, pause ere il. I!I t.o late, for hea-sured the Government is determined to vindicate the laws of the country with the stroijg arm of the taw and, my friends, as I have had the honour of addressing thousands oi you before in your own language, at your religious assemblies, Bud Jou have always honoured me with your attention, so I trust "ntt hnjie you will use all your influence in putting a stop to proceedings which, if persisted in, will ultimately ruin this iitherlo happy and peaceable counlrv. In comparison with other countries, we are poor alreadv, and "why will you throw away bv amnratoatton unaccountable the main blessings which von have nitherto potisellsed, H-imble and oninfluenlial an individual as I am, I shall ever do all in my power to alleviate and remove the °nr<tens which oppress my countrymen. Mr. B.C. L. HALL said, he would state the conditions on which «e attended at this meeting. Certain delegates had railed upon «iin last week, and shown him notices which they bad received (rom Rebecca, commanding them to attend at "Carmarthen on Monday he had recommended them to abstain from doing so and had brought those notices to the Magistrates. Seeing the present meelirg, composed as it was of all the respectability of the county, he felt ihat it was an assurance that all real grievances would he redressed. Only let tbe committee be formed, and the accounts analysed, and he'trusled the people would not find him weak advocate. All lliey wanted was fair play to enry one— to the trustees, to the tallyholders, and 10 the public. He liked I r P'ay »n everything, and be hoped thai tbe country would !ee| •hat the meeting this day was the beginning of fair play. They all knew III England, that if they ¡.egall » fi^'l theydidi, rounds, enf) Le would congirf4y. Ihi; round the first, for they mn,t tight one grievance at a time. Mr. Hall then went on o remark, ■a. le Peuple not cllllr complained of the tolls but ot the way in ini'i'0 '• 'eV Wt|e treated by the justices. He did not say that all n'n6 WaS ^one purposely, but through mistake. They were it h » ,nistakes, and, therefore, if thev had done wrong let r,K',« i and if thev had made mistakes, they were ho. comiriiitlH'6/1 would set tliem right. They were to have a barrister* i*' ,'lere must be no hurrying of the matter, for, as a much tin' 'r w t'lat many points of law would rise and require Rebecca'6!! 'eral'011, ,0 ootrBKeS committed bv the oilier' "'V }vere In0!it scandalous, and if he had had a force HP II d I e would bave endeavoured to put a stop to them, the f" » 0rfie much blame from the countrv for having sent to risk in for soldiers. He knew that he had run much and h> K°. b"l every man must run risks lor his country, ir ,| € |Sajl Magistrates would have been much to blame men. r,r ""J Sent for ll,e soldiers, as would also the Govern- now »' u !?'V .not Kenl He had told the people, and he no, r that I he law must be kept. The people were all *c" why would they do a mischief to themselves? tliem 1 suffer Rebecca lo destroy property and thus make law tl.l ^er A "ere? for w hatever they destroyed against those »i make them pav for,—yes, perhaps some of Eriev = „ '° .l<7"e wrong. He would advocate a redress of their no Ion pt ,he Iaw '> but if tbey broke it he would « longer be their advocate. IIr. L. WILLIAMS congratulated the meeting on what had been done, and apon tbe moderation of Mr. Hall, tbe advocate wbom thrf people bad cbnaen to represent them; be was sore there would be no want of zeal on his part; he (Mr. Williams) differed from him however in one or two points, and would state what they were. Mr. Hall had said that mistakes had happened and injus- tice been done by the Magistrates this was taking it lor granted that all the Magistrates were turnpike trustees this, however, was not so, neither bad it been proved that injustice had been done by the Magistrates, and therefore they should not be charged with it. Then Mr. Hall had said the troops had been sent for by the Magistrates, whereas they were sent by the Government. Col. TREVOR must correct Mr. Williams. As Vice-Lieutenant of the county he had been in constant communication with the Government since the commencement of these matters, and he must sav, that he had for one made a requisition to them for troops before he left London, and, indeed, had pressed for them Mr. VVILLIAMS continued :—He was most happy to be corrected In a mistake. Capt. EVANS having addressed the delegates in Welsh, a Com- miltee was appointed. Mr. L. Mor RIS wished 10 know if the meeting was to sepa- I rate without the people knowing whether the tolls were to be reduced; and M r. L. D A vis suggested that Ihe tall y holders should be written to, and asked to do what all landlords had been obliged to do— to rednce their interest to 3^ per cent., and that the Government should be asked 10 extend the time of re-payment of the principal lent by them, and take 2J per cent, of it per annum instead of 5 per cent per annum, which would double the time allowed for them to pay it in, and then the extra half-toll could beimmediatety got rid of. The Committee was then appointed to meet on Friday, the 30lh inst. (to-dav), and the meeting broke np. The large assemblage outside were then addressed in Welsh, and informed of the result of the meeting; and on being asked if it had satisfied them, a person in the crowd replied, that it was not satisfactory, and that Rebecca '4 would go on as usual," and added, "that if he were not so young a man, he would have told the gentlemen assembled, that it was not sa- tisfactory, for that they were now "tow" ("condescending") enough to listen to the people. It would appear, from the contents of our Cardigan correspondent's letter, above noticed, that this young man's surmise was truly verified, for on the night following the meeting the destruction of the gates took place. We trust, however, some means will shortly be de- vised to put an end to this deplorable state of society.
SINGULAR CASES OF RECOVERY…
IMPORTANT TO DEBTORS.—Tt may be interesting to know that all persons who stand in the relation of debtors to any bankrupt's estate, that on the application of the offi- cial assignee, the commissioner of the Bankruptcy Court can issue summonses for their appearance, then and there 10 show cause why they do not pay the amounts set against their respective names; and, in cases of non-compliance, Can also issue a warrant of arrest forthwith, to biing the parties before him to answer in addition for a contempt of court, in disobedience to the official summons. IMPORTANT CUSTOMS Seizure.—On Monday se'n- night, the schooner Elizabeth, Barrett, master. 39 tons per register, from Newport, with coals, was boarded on arrival in the Exeter river, between Exmouth and Starcross, by G. Mi)ter,Esq. comptroller, tnd Messrs. Holmes and Dudgeon, tide surveyors, who found concealed amongst the cargo, 180 casks of manufactured tobacco, weighing upwards of four tons; likewise several boxes of cigars, and a small quantity of tea, spirits, and ean-de-cologne. The master and crew were taken into custody. The coals are all landed, and the vessel, having been removed to the quay,is being dismantled. It appears the goods in question were taken in at Guernsey, ihe duties on which would amount to upwards of 4.000l. The master and two of the crew were fined 100/. each,and in default of payment were committed to prison for six months. NOVEL WAGE*.—Some few evenings ago a wager of a somewhat novel and laughable character came off at Mr. K >'s, the highly-respected landlord of the White Hart, Turner-street, London Hospital, between two east-end gen- tlemen. A bet was offered that one gentleman would sip a pint of ale with a small tea-spoon in less time than his friend would eat an ordinary captain's biscuit, the latter gentleman boasting of matchless molares of his own. The biscuit was backed at great odds to win in a canter. As the perform- ances progressed, however, it was obvious that the masticator could not afford to allow hiijaws a moment's holiday, whilst hts ale-bibbing antagonist, smiling and looking up at intervals with provoking tantalisation, invited him every now and then to a tea-spoonful of wet. The result was that the whole of the liquid was disposed of when a considerable portion of the solid remained undemolished. THE DUTCH EAST INDIAMAN ^Eolus.—The following letter addressed to ns. respecting this vessel, came to band too late for insertion in our columns last week :— Finding in one of the oolornna of the Carmarthen Journal a palpable and false report of the Dutch East Indiaman, recently repaired by me in this port, I feel it my duty 10 cuntradict such erroneous assertions.—On Tuesday evening IlIsl, abojit half-past six, the said ship wag hauled from along sideof my building yard, well repaired and refitted, a credit to the Master (Smits), and alllo to the port where she belongs, Rotterdam In hauling to the legal qua. convenient to the stores, where the cargo was lodged (for Ihe time being), occupied by Gayer Starbuck, Esq., the ship made a bit of a creen. but nothing to prevent her progress of being hauled abreast tbe anay where, alter getting her moored (as in the technical phrase) all foors, the ship came without anv trouble to her proper position, and grounded on the soft mad, with her keel Hlld bilge bearing in a safe and proper manner; and on the following morning (Wednesday), commenced re ship* ping her cargo and I am now happy to say she is in the stream moored, with two anchors a-head, and about from two to three hundred tons of her cargo on board, and which reflects much credit on all concerned, and also to tbe port the said ship is per- fectly tight, not making one sup of water. I am, Sir, your obedient servant. JOHH HOGAN, Ship-Builder. Mitford. Saturday, 17th June, 1843. SINGULAR CASES OF RECOVERY OF HAIR, After 18, 25, and 26 Years' loss.

THSATnB,
THSATnB, This place of dramatic and ratinna) amusement opened for the season on Monday last, and with considerable eclat. The national nniheni was sung bv the Company, at the rising of the curtain, with good effct- It is somewhat earlv in the season, and unusunl, to give an elaborate critique on the Company. We must see more but we may say. with some degree of certainty, what we have seen augur* well, aind that it bids fair to establish itself fully in favour of the Swansea public —"The Cure for Ihe Heartache," and Why don't she Marry." were the opening pieces, III the former. It IS unnecessary to speak of Woolds, Barrv, and Mrs. Macnamara-their talent is too well known and appreciated in SW\lnsea. The new performers, Mr. A. Younge, Mr. F. Conway, and Mr. Mulford, received especinl marks of favour. The ladies ill this comedv, Mrs. Conway and Miss Browne, have little to do, but that iittle they took great pains wilh, anct locked verv pretty. In the afterpiece, Woulds sus- tained Santz Tick with his usual drollcrv, and Mrs. Cunningham essayed her lirsl appearance in Madame Vestris's part of Ltsetle. We have no doubt Mrs. Cunningham will prove an acquisition 10 the company, but she comes out here under great disadvantages, following so talented and great a favourite as Mrs. Norman, bnt these, we feel assured, she will soon surmount; we would sug- gest, however, a little more spirit and comio humour. Mr Silver played Corporal Max respectably, bnt we think we have seen more made of it in other hands.—The two dancers, Mr. Arthur Webster and Mrs. Silver, gave great satisfaction, and were highly IIpplauded, and most desert edl v so.—The Orchestra, always good, under the leadership of Mr. R Guv, is decidedly superior this season. The House has heeo renovated, and was belter lighted than we have seen it of late. —On Wednesday, Mr. 1 ames Bennett made hi-, first appearance on Ihe Swansea boards, and MissSaker, her first appearance this season, as rhe Slranger and Mrs. Holler. They were both most highly greeted. We shall abstain at present from giving an opinion of Mr. Bennett, until we have seen him again it may snllice now to sav, that both the lieio and heroine produced powerful effects, and in their Inst scene the audience were subdued even to tears. The play was most carefully put upon the stage. We must not omit to mention the gentlemanly manner with which Mr. Conwav pourtrayed Baron Stemfm i-the pathos of Mr. Mulford, in OU Tobias-the correctness of Mr.Cun- "ingham'H Fianris—Mrs. Cunningham's pertness, as the chainbcr- '"aid, Charlotte—and the exquisite comic humour of Mr. lounge and Mr. Woulds, as Old Solomon and Young Master Peter. — }n the new larce of Binks the Bagman," the Lessee, Mr. J. R. Newcomhe, made his first appearance this season, in the eccentric Traveller, and his reception must convince him of the esteem he stands in with his patrons and friends. In the play-bills, this new production is called a laughable Farce it is so indeed, in the most unlimited sentieofthe word, for from the rising to the • ailing of the nurtain. it is one universal shriek of laughter. Mr. Newcombe was most happy and whimsical in his pari Rnd in the bedroom scene, the audience appeared as if it were in con- vn Isions. We advise all who wish todifpe) the cares of the day, to witness the performaiioevof this amusing morceaux. The other performers did ample justice to their respective pirls.—Great praise is due 'o the Management for closing the performancell at *o reasonable an boor— not exceeding eleven o clock each night • we trust it will be persevered in.
GLAMORGANSHIRE QUARTER SESSIONS.
GLAMORGANSHIRE QUARTER SESSIONS. These Sessions commenced at Neath, on Tuesday last, before the Right HOD. John Nicltol), D.C.L M.P., Chairman, and the fdllowing Bench of Magistrates:- I The Most Noble the MARQUESS of BUTB. Sir John Morris, Bart. C. R. Jones, Esq. T. D. Place, Esq. Rev. J. Hardinir. Rev.

Rees, lv"' Thomas Thomas, hv.n Jones, David Smith, Ph hp Jooe., Thomas Jones, llh r™^ 0unn- Jon ii Ura1 tiger, After the proclamation against vice and profanity had been read, the Chairman addressed the Grand Jury to the following effect.— "Genttemen of the Grand Jury. t am happy to congratulate you and the couniy at large, on the lightness of the calendar which will be presented to your notice on the present occasion. It is a satisfaction to find that, notwithstanding the very depressed slate of one great branch of manufacture, and the consequent diminution of the demand for labour, that the amount of crime presented before you on this occasion, does not only not exceed that presented on the two or three last stmilar occasions, but that it is considerably less This is certainly a matter of congratu- lat.on to the county at large. Among the cases which will re- quire your attention there is only one which I think will involve any difhcuhv and that is a case in which the prisoner is charged with stealing money which bad been g.ven him bv his masterT or rather by hi. master « w.fe, to apply to the use o'f his master iu paying the gate-to s The prisoner, instead of going in the regular wav, travelled through a by-way to avoid paving the toll, and did not account to his master for the money so saved. Gentlemen, it may seem doubtful that this is a 01lse /f ,arcenj but I am bound to tell yoo, that .i the fac.s are proved in point of law, the prisoner is guilty of larceny. The distinction between the case before us and a case of embezzlement is this-embez. zlement takes place whea the money or property taken has never come to the possession of the right owner. If a servant goes out to collect money, which is not afterwards accounted for, it is a case of embezzlement, but if lie receives money for a specific pur- pose, and if instead ot applying it to that purpose, he appropriates it to his own use, he is guilty of felony, and must go out to the public as a person convicted of that criine I think it is of some importance to draw your attention to this difference as it may clear up a difficulty. There is another subject, to which I do not wish to call your attention as much as that of the authorities and inha- bitants of this town—I refer to the necessity for a commodious station-house. Some time ago, I requested the Committee of Magistrates to report whether the colls in the present station- bouse were fit for the reception of prisoners. The Magistrates gave it as their opinion, that it was a very unfit place. Such was the importance attached by the Magistrates to the matter, that with one or two dissentients they came to a resolution at the last Quarter Sessions, that they would not be justified in holding the Quarter Sessions iu this town, and directions were accordingly given to hold them at Swansea, unless some improvements were effected. I am itiforixied that since then some improvement has been made, perhaps enough for the present number of prisoners, but not sufficient tor the accommodation of the number of pri- soners that are generally tried at the Quarter Sessions. Under those circumstances, unless some sound, solid, and commodious building should be erected, it will be impossible, regard being had to the health of the prisoners, to allow the Quarter Sessions to be held in this town in future. Gentlemen, I believe we have but a small number, if indeed any cases of appeal to come before us. 1, therefore, request you immediately to proceed with the bills, taking those from a distance first, which you will bring to Court as soon as found. The Grand Jury then proceeded to find bills, and the Magis- trates retired to an adjoining room for the transaction of COUNTY BUSINESS. The Clerk of the Peace read a communication from the Secre- tary of State. CAPTAIN HOWELLS'S SERVICES —The Marquess ofBnte then said that tie Had no particular communication to make to the Magistrates as Lord Lieutenant of the County. In pursuance of the request of the Magistrates, the Noble Marquess said that he bad mnde an application to the Secretary at War on behalf of Capt. HoweUs< He had always considered that a hopeless case. The reply given, when the application was made was, that they were short of funds, and when he saw that at the last quarterly payment, Capt. Howells received nothing bevond his usual allow- ance, he gave up the case as an unsuccessful" application. REVISION OF JURY LISTS—The Chairman called the atten- tion ot tbe Magistrates to the statute providing that Magistrates in retty Sessions should make a revision of the jury lists. The Act empowered them to supply any omisions, or make any cor- rections in the nature of the qualification, description of place of abode, profession, or any other errors they might discover in the jury lists. By getting themselves described as merchants, esquires, &c., many persons escaped from attending petty juries, and attended the less onerous duties of special juries only. Men who called themselves merchants, because they merely sold a few loads of hay in the course of the year, managed to get themselves inserted in the special jury list, so that those juries were not always constituted of that class of persons of which they ought to be. He would therefore remind the Magistrates of that duty The Chairman then desired the Clerk to read a letter on the sub- ject from Sir Robert Peel, when Mr. Secretary Peel. GAOL ACCOUNTS—The accounts of Cardiff Gaol and Swansea House of Correction were then passed. The Chairman stated that the Committee of Magistrates had recommended that ex- pence, of repairs, &e. of the prisons should not be defrayed by the Visiting Magistrates, but sent to the Quarter Sessions. FEES OF COURT OFFtCERS.-The Chairman stated that since their last Quarter Sessions, be bad made some enquiries respect- ing the fees paid to the Clerk of Assize in this county, but had not obtained sufficient information to enable them to come to any conclusion. After taking to consideration the amount of mileage travelled, and the time consumed, the fees in this eounty were in some cases lower than on the Ollford Circuit, which were ihe lowest fees on any English Circuit. From all the enquiries he had made, and t'rom the communication* had with the Clerk of At-size, who showed himself very'ready to meet the Magistrates'wishes he (rhe Chairman) found that the amount annually made by that officer did not exceed 5001., which was not at all exorbitant, as he was expected to be a gentleman of education, and capable of occupying any position in society. He (the Chairman) would therefore propose that the subject should be put off until the next Quarter Sessions, to give them an opportunity of consulting the Judges, without whose concurrence the Magistrates could estab- lish no list of fees. He thought it much better to consult the Judges in the first instance, rather than establish a list of fees which afterwards wonld be rejected. As no table could be formed which could come to operation at the next Assizes, it would be quite as convenient to postpone tbe subject to the next Quarter Sessions, when U»ey could prepare them against tbe ensuing Assizes. PRISON JOURNALS.—The Governor's Journal, Surgeon's Journal, aOld Chaplain's Journal, for the Swansea House of Cor- rection, and the same Journals for the Card,fl gaol were passed. REPORT OF VISITING MAGISTRATES.—The report of the Visiting Justices to the Swansea House of Correction was read. There was nothing of any peculiar interest noticed in the report! It stated that the rules and regulations bad been strictly adhered to, and alluded to the death of the late Governor, whose office bad since been supplied by his son, Mr. William Cox. The new prison regulations had not been adopted for a sufficient time to enable the Magistrates to oft'er any opinion as to their success. Th" report also stated, that in pursuance of a resolution passed at the last Quarter Sessions, the Magistrates had made all appli- cation to the Swansea Town Council for the land required to make the proposed alterations in the House of Correction, for which f, sl,m. °f money bad been voted from tbe county funds. The Council had since met, and fixed the price of a part of the field, consisting 0f about half an acre, at 172/ and ot the whole field, if required, which was a tittie more than an acre, at the sum of500/. Col. Jones stated that the offer had not been approved of by the Visiting Magistrates, who had not met since the olfer had een made, as ihe Council bsd only decided upon the subject the day before. Mr. T. Edw. Thomas said that the Visiting Justices had re- quested the Council to state the price of the whole field, with a V,0J- avo'd having a number ot small cottages built in the im- mediHte vicinity of the House of Correction. t he Chairman observed, that it was very strange that the Town Council had left the matter to the very last moment before the Quarter Sessions, instead of meeting in time to give the Visiting H 8i'Cf-S an °PPortunity of ascertaining tbe teal value of the land. believed there was a lease on the piece in question, wbich the county would have to purchase. Mr. T. Edw. Thomas said that there was a lease on the pro- perty. 1 The Chairman asked Mr. Cox if he knew the age of the party on whose life the lease had been granted when the latter replied that he was about 60. Mr. T. Edw. Thomas stated that be was a member of the Town Council, and he presumed that bodv had every disposition to oblige the county. The Chairman replied that the Magistrates could not act upon any gentleman's presumption. Was it of importance that the building should be immediately proceeded with I Could not the subject be postponed ? Mr. T. Edw. Thomas satfl that the surveyor had given it as his opinion that the present house was much too small and con- fined. In answer 'o a question from the Chairman, Mr. Whittington. who had surveyed the land, stated that the Town Council asked more than double the value far it. even if it were valued at It. an acre. In that case, it would be worth no more than 701, or 80. At present it produced no more than 71. a year. (Laughter.) The Chairman :—Suppose we were to proceed with them ac- cording to the Act of Parliament, and take the land at the valuation of a jury. Mr. T. Edw. Thomas said that ihe valuation had been made by Mr Hall, a very respectable survevor, upon whose opinion the Town Council had acted. The Chairman observed, that he could not forget, as far as he perceived by the public c! lannels of information, that one genile- mall in the Town Council had thought proper to attack the Visiting Magistrates, because they had done that which thev ought to have done—(hear hear)—because thev had not shown favour to a townsman, instead of honestly performing their duties to the couniy at laige. (Hear.) In this case, the land was valued at more than twice its real value, and it appeared to him the Magistrates would I not perform I he i r duly to the county at large in then coining to a decision on the terms ofTered. As the Swansea Town Council did not seem inclined to meet the county on honourable terms, he wouid propose that the Magistrates should proceed according to the Act of Parliament, and take the land at the valuation of a jury ( Hear, hear, and cheers.) The Chairman then proposed •i resolution to the effect—that as the I own Council of Swansea had asked a price for the land required, which the county sur- veyor had declared to be far beyond its real value, that their oner be declined, and that the Magistrates take the land at the valu- ation fa jurv, according to Act of Parliament.—which was carried unanimous^ The Chairman thought that in the mean time the Visiting Magistrates had better endeavour to get the Town Council to come to some reasonable arrangement, and that they should take the opinion of the county surveyor upon any price that might be demanded. A resolution to thut^ effect was also put and carried unanimously. The Visiting Magistrates were ordered to report at the next Quarter Sessions. APPOINTMENT OF GOVERNOR TO THE SWANSEA HOUSE OF CORRECTION.—The above office having become vacant by the death of the late Governor (Mr. Cox), the Magistrates proceeded to elect a successor. There were but two candidates, the others having withdrawn The first application read by the Clerk of the Peace, was from Lieut. Maxev, R.N., accompanied with a tesli monial dated February, IS.12. signed by a number of Magistrates for the county, and many other respectable gentlemen. Sir John Morris begged to offer an explanation. As he intended proposing Mr. Cox. he did not wish to appear inconsistent. His signature was affixed to Mr. Maxey's testimonial. It had not "ih been given on this occasion, but when Mr Maxey was candidate for another office. The Rev. DM Hewson made some observation* to the same effect. There were other high testimonials to Mr. Maxey's character and ability read, from various officers under whom be had served. The Clerk then read Mr. Cox's application, which stated that in consequence of the infirmity of his father (the late Governor), be had performed the duties of the office for many yfars., There was a testimonial to Mr. Cox's eligibility to the office, signed by many of the most respectable inhabitants of Swansea, There was a testimonial to Mr. Cox's eligibility to the office, signed by many of ihe most respectable inhabitants of Swansea, read another signed by all the present Visiting Magistrates, with the exception of three another signed bv all the Visiting Justices for several years past, given when Mr. C x was a candidate for the governorship of Brecon gaol. Letters were also read from Mr. Vivian, M.P., Mr. Jer.ner, of Wei.voe Castle, and Mr. Lewis Weston Dillwyn, bearing testimony to the excellent character and respectability of Mr. Cox, and his eligibility to the office. Mr. Dillwj'n stated in his letter that his former objection to Mr. Cox was, his not being married, that he thought a married man more eligible to the office than a bachelor; but that objection was now obviated, inasmuch as Mr. Cox bad assured him that he was going to be married in a very short time. ( Laughter.) The Chairman asked several times if anv gentleman woold propose Mr. Maxey, but receiving no answer, he put the same question with regard to Mr. Cox. Sir John Morris rose to propose Mr. Cox, whom he thought parlicoladvadapted for the situation, being a man of steady bahits and experienced in the office, as he had assisted his father for the last fourteen vears. The Rev. Dr. Hewson briefly seconded Mr. Cox's nomination. The Chairman proceeded to put the queslion that Mr. Cox be elected." when Mr. L. LI. Dillwyn said he would have no objection to propose Mr. Maxey, were it only to express his opinion as to his better adaptation to the office, though he perceived the general feeling was in favour of Mr. Cox. Col. Jones seconded the proposition. He thought him to be better adapted than Mr Cox. Mr. Grove supported Mr. Maxey's nomination. He stated that the reason be was not proposed when the l hair man put the question, was in consequence of a mistake, the geutleinun who had promised to do so not being present. The Chairman proceeded again to put the resolution, "that Mr. Cox be elected." The Chairman put Mr. Cox first, to give Mr. Maxev an opportnnity of withdrawing in case he should see the inaioritv in Mr. Cox's favour. Sir John Morris said he thought it irregular to put Mr. Maxey, as he had not been proposed or seconded in the first instance. Had he been proposed, he (Sir John Morris) would have spoken more about Mr. Cox's eligibility. Mr. Maxey was a very re- spectable man, but. in his opinion, he was not adapted to the situation, having been for many years a Lieutenant in the Navy, which was a very different situation. They Ht) knew Mr. Cox's character, as he had virtually filled the office for many years in a most creditable manner. He had been regularly brought up to it. There must be very strong reasons before the Magistrates could pass over a man whom they had tried, and whose character they knew, and appoint a man of no experience in thatotlice, and of whose eligibility they knew nothing. Mr. L. LI. Dillwvn begged leave to withdraw Mr. Maxev. The Chairman then declared Mr. Cox unanimousl v elected. j MATRON TO THE HOUSE OF CORRECTION.—The Clerk of the Peace then read Mrs. Cox's resignation of the oflice of matron to Ihe House of Correction. A conversation ensued, during which some of the Magistrates expressed an opinion, (hat the Governor and Matron should have no familv connections. It was uliimatelv agreed that Mrs. Cox be requested to fill the ollice until next Quarter Sessions. CORONERS' BILLS.-The hills of Mr. Reece, amounting to 671. 5s. 6d., and of Mr. C. Collins, amounting to 281. 2s. 5d. were passed. INSPECTOR OF WEIGHTS AND MEASURES.—The bill of Mr. Taylor, amounting to 30/. for three years was ordered to he paid. The Chairman expressed a doubt whether they could legally pay a bill of three years' standing. It was then resolved, Ihat no such payments be made for tbe fulllre.-Several other accounts were ordered to be paid. BRIDGES.—Mr. Wbittinglon presented bills for the repairs of Cardiff and Wrythfa bridges, and for the repair of roads, which gave rise to a conversation, some Magistrates doubting the le- gality of a payment for the repair of roads, unless those over bridges.—The bills were passed. TREASURER'S ACCOUNT.—This account, containing a state- ment of the amount received from rates, and the amount expended in prngecutions at the Assizes and Quarter Sessions was passed, together with the sums expended in the maintenance of the police force, which are as follows Merihyr Police £ 392 4 0 Newbridge 5314 0 Ogmore 96 10 0 Swansea 60 12 0 The following is the estimate for the ensuing quarter:- Merthyr District £ 317 0 0 Newbridge 247 0 0 Ogmore ill 0 0 Swansea. 147 0 0 liOUNTY RATE.—A county rate of one penny in the pound was then ordered. MERTHYR STATION-HOUSE.—A bill, amounting to 18/. 13s. 6d., expenses connected with the above establishment, was sent in, out of which 171. 12s was ordered to be paid. A long conversation ensued respecting travelling expenses allowed to the police during the late outbreaks, part of which the Cbainnan thought ought not to be allowed. NIUTH STATION-HoUSE -A long discussion took place re- specting the above Station-house, 160l. towards building which were voted at the last Quarter Sessions. Some of the Magistrates wished the borough to join the conntv in the maintenance of the polioe force, to which the Conncil of Neath object, on account of the additional expense which would be incurred. CAPT. NAPIER'S REPORT.—Tbe quarttrly report, drawn ap b.V Capt. Napier, was tben read. It represented the Merihyr district to be unusually free from crime, there being but two important cases to be tried from that neighbourhood at the next Assizes—one for manslaughter, and one for forgery. The report stated that there was a great increase of crime in Ojffnore. al- though it was an agricultural district. The report was passed. BRIDGEND NEW TOWNHALL.—The Rev. Robert Kuight stated, that a deputation of four gentlemen, who interested them- selves in the erection of a new Townball at Bridgend, were present, to offer the Magistrates to provide accommodation for the police force on the ground floor of the building for 400/. Mr. Knigbt said, that if the countv built a separat station-house, the ground woold cost 150/ and the building "250/ and the accomiuo- j dalion not as good as on the basement story of the Hall. The four gentlemen^ who attended were prepared to undertake to proceed immediately with the erection or the building. If the Magistrates objected to grant 400/ they woold tllke 3501.- (FilII particulars respecting the c^nmodiou* Hall, proposed to be •reol«d at Bridgend, bav« appeared iu-our paper at vaiiou* Limes, it w therefore unnecessary lo enter into further particuUis.J — After a long conversation, it was agreed that 350t. be voted, and that a lease for one thousand years, at a nominal rent, for a station- house on the basement story, he granted the county. TRIAL OF PRISONERS. Eliza Thomas pleaded Guilty to the charge of having stolen a featber bed, the property of her mistress.—The Court, in passing sentence, said, you have pleaded guilty to the charge of having stolen a bed, the property of your mistress. The relationship subsiding between you and the prosecutrix, as servant and mis- tress, is rather an aggravation of the offence. If yon have any witness to call to character, or anything to say in mitigation of punishment, you shall be heard.—Mr. Evans having given the prisoner a good character up to the present lime, the Court sen- tenced her to three ca!endar months'imprison:<]e..twM< hard taboor.

The prisoner, who cried bitterlv, said be was misled by bad company. Certificates of two former convictions were then pot in. The Chairman, addressing: ihe prisoner, said, that as he had been convicted once before at Cardiff; and afterwards at Cowbridge, it was evident that he would not reform in this country.Sentence, for the first offence imprisonment for two months in Cardiff gaol, and at the expiration of that sentence transportation beyond the te« •#'oe ler,n of 14 vears. J/HOtu iiees pleaded Guilty lo tbe charge of having stolen 11. 5s., the properly 0f David Thomas.—The Chairman said, you have been found guilty 0f havin<r stolen 1/. as. from the prosecutor, who slept in t(,e same room"as yourself. In consideration of the good character given you, and hoping you will reform, the sentence of the Coort will be comparatively Slx weeks' bard labour in Cardiff Gaol.

A verdict of Guilty was returned.—The Clerk of the Peace then produced a certificate of a former conviction.—The Chairman observed that as the jurv had 1101 convicted the priso- ner nf breaking into the house, but simply of stealing the articles, that charge should not be mentioned, but as he had been convicted before, and considering his age, the Court was of opinion he was deserting of transportation. Sentence, ten years' transportation Thomas Llewellyn, aged 21, was charged with hning stolen the sum of 2" the property of Mr. Thomas Thomas, farmer, Wallace, near Hridaend.— Mrs Marv Ttiomas, who was examined by Mr. Lewis, of Riidgend, stated tint on the 3d of June, she gave the prisoner the sum of two shillings, for the purpose of paying toll at llie Red Hill gate.

He was then given in charge lo a policeman He also stated, that in consequence of his suspicions, he bad sent prisoner out of the bazaar three times before, dorinc; that day.— The policeman proved the apprehension of the prisoner.—Mr. Barwell was recalled to identify the article. In his cross-exa- mination by Mr. Attwood, the prosecutor said. he had a brother and father, who possessed bazaars, but that the bazaar in ques- tion belonged to himself, and was not a pariuersnip concern.— The Chairman for the day (Henry Thomas, Esq., in the absence of the Right Hon.

He thought there was no harm in the pri- soner s saying, he would stand all chances."—W. Jones proved that he saw the prisoner going towards the prosecutor's house, and met him returning oil the day in question.—The prisoner, in his defence, said, that he thought it very hard if he shonld be convicted on the evidence of Wheeler, who had been in prison at Cardiff, (or robhing a vessel-on another occasion for stealing and pawning a coat; and that he merely accused him of the crime for the sake of saving himself. Whatever Wheeter omitted in his evidence, Mr. Attwood, he said, put into his mouth JL *yas *'le sort of trial he had—be knew it woold not be allowed in Bristol, or anywhere in England.—The Chairman, in summing up the evidence, remarked, that it would be a hard case to con- vict the prisoner on the evidence of Wheeler, if oncorroborated, ut thai he was corroborated, in one or two particulars, by Win.

Any additional particulars wl:1 appear in the following trials of the women who received the s o en property.—Tbe Chairman, in passing sentence, said, You iave pleaded guilty io the charge of having committed an offence, under circumstances of a very aggravated nature. Yon were in a good and comfortable situation, and one of great respectability out yon have abandoned the character jou appear to have previ- ously had, und misapplied the confidence placed in yon. Under 1 lose circumstances, the Court must pass a severe sentence, but it is in their power to pass one doublv se»ere.

I found in a drawer, which I burst open, twenty-two pawnbrokers' duplicates.— [The duplicates, which had been given to the prisoner for the articles, were read in evidencej. Mr. Moses and Mr. Marks proved having received the goods, at various limes, from the prisoner, and having given the tickets for them. Mr. Rees cross examined by Mr. Philpotts I was examined before the committing Magistrates, and told them tbat the articles I received from Mr. Moses were silver. Mary Jackson recalled I know this plate is the property of the Rev. Dr. Hewson, and that the whole was in my master's house when Howell entered his service. Howell had the entire charge of the plate. I have seen the prisoner, Clllrke, on two occasions, in company with Edward Howell, at Dr. Hewson's house, before the plate was stolen. Cross-examined by Mr. Philpotts :—I am prepared to swear thnt the whole of the articles are the propertv of Dr. Hewson. There are no marks on the forks they are greallv bent in a par- ticular place. I know one of the silver foiks bv the twist in the handle. I know the well-urn by the hole in its bottom, in conse- quence of ",hich it could not be used. Mr. Philpotts said, becould not see a bole in if. It was banded to Ihe jury. Cross-examination continued :—There are initials on one of the tankards -1 do not know on which.—^Witness underwent a long examination relative to the identity of the articles].—Witness had acce's to the plate when Howell was butler. All the articles were not locked up—those in general use were left out. I have not cleaned any of the plate within the last twelve monlhs. The Rev. Dr. Hewson might get the plate to his drawiu>rooin, and present it to any one, without my knowing it. Bv the Court:—There was an inventory of the plate in the drawers. When Howell entered Dr. Hewson's service, Mrs. Hewson delivered the plate lo his custody in my presence. William Williams examined I have been iu the service of the Rev. Dr. Hewson and, since I have left his service, I have frequently waited at his table.—The witness positively swore to Hit- identity of all the articles, and stated that they were the property of the Rev. Dr. Hewson. The witness was cross-examined by Mr. Philpotts at great length, but his evidence was not shaken. Mr. Marks was rf-examined, and said that on the thirty-first of October last, the prisoner. Clarke, came to bis shop and pledged the silver waiter, saving it was the property of Mrs. Jones, on the Burrows, who had been in verv affluent circumstances, but was necessitated to keep a lodging-house. 00 another occllsion tfre prisoner entered the shop, accompanied by Elizabeth Davies, and said thai witness might take any article from Davies, as thev came from the same ptace. Witness on each occasion made en- quiries as to whom the propertv belonged, and invariably re- ceived the same answer. Mr. Marks enumerated the various articles which were pledged at different periods, and soothe sums advanced upon each, but as full particulars of Ihe robbery were given in onr paper lit the limether.risoners were committed, it is quite unneoessarv to repeat tbe evidence now.— In his cross- examination by Mr. Philpotts, Mr. Marks said that after the ap- parently satisfactory answers he had received to his enquiries respecting the owners of the propertv, he thought it unnecessary to examine the crests on the plate, as many gentlemen had plate in their possession with various crests. Mr. Philpotts made an objection to the indictment, because it was not specified therein that a tarceny had been committed by the principal felon, who ought to have been named, or that it ought 10 have been stated, that the goods feloniously received bv the prisoner, were stolen by a person unknown. He also con- tended, that Edward Howell's cnnviclfbn could not be admitted as evidence, as it was not specified in the indictment. Mr. Phil- potts cited a case from Jervis's Archbold, p. 259, in support of hit objection, which was over ruled by the Court. Mr. Philpotts then addressed the jury for upwards of an hour, on behalf of the prisoner. The jury, after a short absence, returned a verdict of Guilty against the prisoner. The Chairman, in passing sentence, observed, that it was evident the prisoner had been the instigator and mover of the robbery.—Sentence, twelve months imprisonment with hard fahour in Swansea House of Correction, the last week of each three months in solitarv confinement. John Lovelurk Marendaz, a respectablv dressed person, pleaded Guilty to an indictment charging him with having fraudulenlly and feloniously embezzled money, the propertv of his employer, Mr. Evans, High-street Brewery, Neath. The prisoner was tra- veller and collector for Mr. Evans. NVe understand be pleaded guilty hv the advice of his attorney, Mr. Hargreaves, of Neaib. The Court expressed its sorrow at seeing a man of the prisoner's position in such a disreputable situation, but in consequence of • be prosecutor havinJ{ recommended hl/n 10 mercy, the sentence would be very light, hoping the prisoner would take warning and amend.— Sentenced lo one month s imprisonment with hard labour in Swansea House of Coireclion—the first half of the fiut week, and the lasl ha/fo" the last week in solitary confinement. Mr, Attwood now applied 10 the Court for licence to erect a Powder Magazine, to keep an unlimited quantity of powder on Crunilyn Burrows, near Swansea, that place being a very eligible spot, and bevond the distance from any town presetibed by the Act of Parliament. Mr. Attwood called Mr. Hall, surveyor, to prove the above facts. The lioence was granted. Elizabeth Davies was then placed at the bar, charged with receiving a portion of Dr. Hewson s plate.—The evidence in this case was similar to the last, with the exception of the pri- soner having pledged but one article.—Two persons gave tbe priMiier a fMt A tefctiet of with < MaaM- meadatiOD t •■Met, was returned.—Tbe Cbtirnu said tbat « it appeared Rlartnih Clarke was the teaipter, aad the prisoner tM tempted, the sentence would be very light.-One week's impri- sonment. Sarah Walters Mitts then tried for feloniously reoeitmg a por- tion of the articles evidence was again repealed, and Mr. Coke addressed the jury on behalf of the prisoner. Verdict, Guilty, with a recommendation to mercy.—Sentence, six months' imprisonment with hard labour. Jane Williams was then placed at the bar, and found Guilty of having received a part of the articles stolen The jury recom- mended the prisoner lo mercy .—Sentence, three months' impri- sonment with hard labour. John Coitletj, gardener, was charged with stealing a wastiliane- stand; and John Maso/i charged H::h stealing n>one\, were dis- charged by proclamation, no true hit) hating been lound against them.—The business of the Sessions then concluded.
