RKBECCA AGAIN.—It grieves us to state, that the cut practices of toll-ftate destruction, which have been so rife lately in Carmarthenshire, Cardiganshire, and Pem- brokeshiie, have reached the borders of this county. On the arriva) of the mail-coach this morning from Carmarthen, the coachman informed us, that the two bars near Cross- Hands were destroyed, and that the toll-bar and house at Bolcoed, near Pontarduhis, were completely levelled with the ground. The furniture belonging to the house had been carried out, and placed 011 the side of the road. This is all the information we could obtain from our informant, whose time would not allow hiin to stop to make inquiries; JVli-RTiNG OF TURNPtKR Titt'sTtiEs. — A meetiti<« of the Trustees of the Swansea Turnpike and Wychtree-bridge Trust, was hrld at the Townhall, on Thursday last. There were present, Mr. John Grove, in -he chair; air. J. D. Herriugton, Rev. S. Davies, Mr. Edmond, Mr. Thomas Grove, Mr. H. Lucas, Mr. Joseph Martin, Mr. M. Philipps, Mr. Thos. Edw Thomas, Mr. Thomas Walteis, Mr. O. G. Williams, &c.—The first resolution passed, was to the effect that a Committee, consisting of Messrs. T. Martin, Mog- gridge, and T. Strick, be appointed to examine from time to time, and report on the work now in progress, on Graig Ynisderw, with a view to ascertain that the fences which may be made over the new line are substantial and efficient for the protection of the land adjoining the new line.—A petition, signed by a number of farmers and others, was presented to the meeting, praying the Trust to remove the Wychtree-bridge Gate, as the tolls exacted at that gate pressed very heavily on the farmers and others travelling over that road. The petitioners maintained that the tolls were unjustly exacted. After a long and desultory con- versation, during which several gentlemen made vaiious suggestions as to the best mi ans of removing the grievance, it was agreed that a Committee, consisting of Messrs. Vivian, M.P., T. Edw. Thomas, J. P. Berrington, John Grove, R. M. Philipps, Thos. Grove, M. Moggridge, and J. Martin, be appointed to confer with the Tiustees of the Neath Trust, on the practicability of making such arrange. ments as will enable the Swansea and Neath Trusts to tnke "poulhelllsplves the debts of the Wychlree Trust, with a view of doing away with the gate at the Wychtree-bridge; also, that the clerk be directed to write to the clerk of the Neath Trust, enclosing the resolution respecting the Wych- tree Trust, passed at this meeting, and requesting him to lay it before the Neath Trust, as early as possible.—The question of the expediency of removing the toll-bar at Bol- goed, was also discussed.'—Mr. Button, the contractor for the gates, stated, that he would require from 201, to 301. as compensation for the diminution of tolls which would result from its removal.— Mr. M. Philipps and other gentlemen thought that was rather an exorbitant demand for the loss the tolls for six months only; but Mr. Bullen assured the meetmg, that the coming six months, being the fruit season, was the part of the year In which the greatest traffic took place through the bar in question, and that the demand was "ot tnote than his actual loss would be.—A resolution was "bimately passed, to the effect, that Messrs. R. M. Philipps, Grove, T. Walters, Jos. Martin, and J. D. Berrington, be appointed a Committee to enquire into the state of the toll. bar of Bolgoed, aud to confer with Mr. Bullen; and that the same Committee be empowered to agree with Mr. Mullen, as to the amount of allowance to be. made to him for the diminution in the collection of tolls at that bar. ROYAL VISIT.—We understand that the Crown Prince of Wirtemberg, accompanied by his Excellency the Baron de Htigel, and attended by several foreigners ot dis- tinction, lately visited Swansea, incog., and inspected the Copper Works, and the several manufactories in the neigh- bourhood. They arrived here from Merthyr, where they had visited the various Iron Works. On Friday se'nnight the Marquess of Bute visited his very imgnificeut Bute Docks," at Cardiff, after an absence of some months, which are now in full operation. On his Lordship arriving opposite the Marchioness of Bute, a very beautiful vessel belonging to the port, and named in honour of the late lamented and amiable Marchioness, the yards were quickly manned by her gallant crew, at the instance of her able commander, Caprain Jobbling, when three Roya) satntes, accompanied with an equal number of hearty cheers, with a will, were given. A similar maik of-respect was displayed 011 the return of the Noble -Lord, who, on ibis occasion, was observed to feelingly acknowledge the reception he so warmly met with.—On Wednesday the Noble Marquess left the Castle for London. Mr. William Hughes, of Brecon, was on Sunday, June 19ib, ordained Deacon by the Lord Bishop of Glon- cester and Bristol, at St. Margaret's, Westminster, and has been appointed to the Curacy of Woolastoue, Gloucester- shire. The Members of the lonE-eslabliahed Free School Club at Cardiff (ot which the Most Noble the Marquess of Unte is one of its Patroiw), had theit annual meeting nn Tuesday Iltst. Soon after eleven AM., tbe Royal Glamoi pan band headed the procession, which proceeded to St. John's Church, where an appropriate discorurse was delivered on the occasion by the Uev. Thomas Stacey, which was aMen- lively listened to. On returning from worship, the band again stiuck np, and the procession (in which were many of the Corporation) perambulated the town, and afterwards partook of a most excellent dinner. In the evening, a dance look place at the Angel Hotel, where the junior members and their sweethearts kept up the spirit of the entertain- ment till It late hour. Merthyr Post Office receives on an average not less than 8000 letters weekly, and in one quarter this year—from January 5 to April5-granted more than 1,200 money-orders, which must have been a very great accommodation to poor workmen who send money home fortnightly and monthly to their wives and families. The name of Rowland Hill, Esq. must be ever dear to this class of persons, as well ItS to the pn hlic at large. THE CYMKOI)ORII\ SOCIETY.— At a meeting of this Society, heLl IÚ. the Welsh School, id London, on Saturday last, at which the Earl of Powis, the Right Hon. C. \V. W. \Y ynn, &c. were prespnt, a medal MWIS presented to the Rev. J. W. Rets, F.A S for editing the last volume of the society's transaction!>. The LLANDILO MICHANICS' INSTITUTION.—The Lord Bishop of the Diocese has made a donation of 51 to this infant society. Independent of the handsome amount of the d/mlltion: it is exceedingly gratifying 10 those who have exerted themselves to establish 111.. society, to see bestowed upon it the countenance of so eminent a personage as Ins Lordship. Now, that the means of judging of the consti- tution and objects of the society are before that portion of those connected with the neighbourhood, who have it in their power to further the latter, it is atixumsly hoped that the benevolent example of the worthy diocpsan will be followed. Several donations of hooks have been made bv gentlemen connected with the town, and it is expected that, ere long, and by the assistance of a little from all, a museum, as well ,IS a library, will be formed. Tuti WKATHEK. — Our Cardiff Correspondent 011- serves—"A few recent showers have completely altered the face of the country in this neighbourhood. Mostotthehay) harvest is in, and the crops beyond the average. Tiie wheat j is looking most delightfully, anil promises a heavv return. The latterniaths are fast springing, and vegetation generally is in a charming condition."—Our Milford Correspondent says—" The crops in this neighbourhood are looking re- i m.iikablv weil, and promise an abundant harvest. The I hay is being seemed in excellent order, and moie than an; average crop. All is quiet here." SWANSHA FAile-The fair for the sale of horses and cattle, held at Swanspao" Monday last, was another exent- plification of the extreme dnlness of the present times. The i supply was very limited, but the demand much more so. j We may say, theie was DO business done, excepting in two- year-old colts, a few of which were sold al low prices.— Wool fetched from 9d. to Is. per lb. The fair held at Cardiff, on Thursday week last, was the dullest and most unprofitable concern ever witnessed 1 there. The cattle altogether were of the meanest desci iption, not a thorough fat head to be found, such as in by-gone (tavswensedtosep. We are unable to quote anything like an average price, as the sales, if any, were few and tar between. Horses again, wo £ wanted, consequently they wete returned Irom whence they came. At Neath market, on Saturday last, Chas. Milsom. butcher, had exposed for sale in his stall, two lambs and two calves, both lambs and calves twins, and bred by the same farmer in tlie neighbourhood. The above little slock were equal in quality to any sold in the market on that day. Av. i rt.LY Si'DDKN DEATH.— Died on Friday evening, the 23d ult., aged 70, Margaret Williams, formerly of Ervvd, j in the parish ot Llangnnnider. The-poor old woman had 1 left her cottage at Duke's Town, in the course of the at- ternoon, to see her daughter, who li»ed on the Tredegar side | of the Sirhovvv liver, when returning home with a small j lump of coal, she dropped down dead on the bi idge crossing the above liver, near the Bush Inn. THK KING OF HANOVER—( From a (Correspondent). -The country is IIlIder an obligation to Mr. Hume tor his motion to discontinue the allowance of 2I,0G0Z. per annum to the King of Hanover; and the names of the ninety-one Members should be recorded, who, heedless ot the sneeis of courtiers, had the manliness and humanity, in a period of general distress, to endeavour to relieve the people from the weight of so scandalous an impost; but the majority (whose names shollld also be remembered) have tided the rich with good things, and the poor they sent empty awav. When the fair play of ballot is mentioned (a cause which, by tlie bye, this vote adv.,nces),they thrust the word un-Engihh" at its advocates, screening humbug behind the popularity of sound but what is ihe word to be used when Englishmen aie taxed to pamper foreign Sovereigns? When that ami- able Monarch had the gallantry to refuse a snpply of cream- coloured horses to his niece, our giacinus Queen, be was apparently resolved to be himself the only dun of the countiv. Her Majesty can dispense with them, ami Britannia may rejoice that the white horse of Hanover has trotted outofherei-cutchfon.

PAVING COMMISSIONERS' MEKTING. — A meeting of the Paving and Lighting Commissioners was held at the Town-hall, on Wednesday last. The following members were present:—The Mayor in the chair, Mr. Aubrey, Mr. Dawe, Mr. Glover, Mr. Walker, and Mr. O. G. Williams. It was ordered that a cheque for 51. 7s. 8d. be given Thomas Thomas, for the repair of public lamps. Imposed by Mr W. H. Smith, and seconded by Mr. Glover, and carried, That the defence to the action brought by the executors of the Rev. E. Griffith against the Commissioners for arrears of interest be abandoned, and that the Clerk be illstructed to withdraw the plea. Mr. Aubrey gave notice, that at the next meeting he would move a resolution to the effect — That in order to relieve this trust, no expenses or debts of any kind be incurred, until the whole arreais of interest are paid.—The following bills were ordered to be paid — Messrs. Lloyli and Jones, contractors for scavengership, one month's wages, 161. 13s. 4d. for fhg stones, 31. 0s. 6d., and for curb stones, 61. Os. 2d.—The meeting then separated. A CAUTION TO SERVANTS.—\t the last General Quarter Sessions for the county of Pembroke held on Tues- day, the 27lb ult.,—(a report of which appears in our 4th page),—Dlnry Rees, wife of John Rees, of the parish of Steynton, in the said county, was convicted of receiving milk, flour, and meal, well knowing the same to have been stolen by the servants of a M>. Davies, a respectable farmer in the village of Steynton.—As there were circumstances of a painful nature connected with the crime of which the pri- soner was convicted, the Chairman, in pronouncing tlie sen- tence of the Court, appeared to be impressed with a feeling of the importance of those circumstances as connected with he duties and the moral and legal obligations of servants intrusted with the propeity of their masters, and addiessing [he ptisoner, lIe said- Alary Rees, yon have been convicted of a great crime, although il is not amongst those which call upon the judges of the bind to pronounce the last and most awful sentence of the law yet. it would he difficult, in the whole catalogue of crime to point to one which exercises II more baneful influence on the morlll condition of the labouring olasses of society. By the most subtle artifices, you tirst corrupted the principles of the servants of your neighbour, and then you became the receiver of the pro- perty, which VOl) had induced them to steal from him Il cannot be too generally known, that to solicit a servant to steal from his master, is an indictable offence, ami subject to severe punish- ment, even where the servant resists the persuasion and remains perfectly innocent but where the servant yields to the solicita- tion, and steals the goods of his master, be it Hour, or milk, or butler, or bread, or meal, &c., as well as more important IIrtidf<s, both the servant who steals and the person who receives, are liable 10 transportation or imprisoornenl.-N III wilhstandin?; which, there is too much reason to believe that the practice is so fre- quent, as to leave upon the minds of servants scarcely an impres- sion of its moral guilt or legal consequences.— I am sorrv to say your conduct has afforded a lamentable illustration of tlie truth of the observation. The victim of your arts appears to have considered it as an ordinary practice; but when the guilt and its consequences were setfu'.lv before her, the unfortunate girl, who, hut for JOII, mig-hl now have been a'ive, and innocent of crime, went and hanged herself. Y no induced her to look for a reward in the wages ot sin, but concealed from her that the wages of sin is death. You deserve to be transported, and should JOu ever be again convicted of the crime, von must expect to be so. But you are the mother of children, who are innocent of your crimes, and the humane principles upon which the laws of our country are administered, forbid the Court to despair of jour amendment, and induce the hope that ."00 may yet live lo impress opon the minds ot those children, that, under the influence of religion, the practice of honesty and industry is the only sure road la hap- piness and security.—Impressed with the hope and expectation I have expressed, the sentence ot this Court is, that you be com- mitted to the Honse of Correction and kept to hard labour for three calendar months, and that during that time, you be placed in solitary confinement for three weeks at three separate periods of seven days each." BRITISH IRON COMPANY.—On Friday, a special meeting of this Company was held at the London Tavern, Sir G. Larpent, Bart., in the chair, for the purpose of receiv- ing the report of the Committee appointed at the last meeting, on some plan for discharging the liabilities of the Company. The most advisable plan in the opinion of the Committee was, that the estates, works, and stock of the Company should he sold to a new Company, subject to the liabilities for rents and royalties, amounting to upwards of 12,0001. per annum, for the sum of 200.000<, and in order to meet the liabilities not provided for by this sale, sncli further calls be made as would enable the directors to close the concerns of the present Company. The debts and engagements of the Company amount to nearly 450,000<. After a long but ami- cable discussion the report of the Committee was adopted. COWBI'.IDGE RACES.—These races came off on Friday last.—The first race, for a sweeps'akes of three sovereigns, with ,201. added, was won by Mr. Sant's Consul, beating Mr. Bradley's Duke, and Mr. Lucas's St. David.—'P'he sweep- stakes of one WV., witn 15L-added, tor farmers, w-e> e won by Mr. Sflnt'* Landough Lass, beating Mr. Bassett's Gay Lass, Mr. L. Thomas's Maid of the HI ill, Mr. Palmer's Cremona, and Mr. Whapham's Yovng Tom.—The next race was for a handicap of one sov., with 10/. added, tor horses not ex- ceeding 14 hands 2 inches in height. Mr. J. Thomas's Cardiff Lass beat Mr. Bassett's Annie, Mr. H. Thomas's Ugly Ruck. and Mr. Evans's Cremelin.—The open handicap race was won by Mr. Vivian's horse, beating Mr. Bnllen's.— The handicap rice for beaten horses was won by Mr. J. Thomas's Cardiff Lass, beating Mr. Sant's Landough Lass, Mr. Batten's horse, and Mr. Whapham's—-The day's sports were concluded by a pony race, in which Mr. Meazy's Jemmy was the winner, beating Mr. Jenkins's Colvinstnne Lass, Mr. W.Thomas's Squirrel, and Mr. Jenkins's Useful. MELANCHOLY AND FATAL ACCIDRNT.—An inquest was held on Monday last, before C. Collins, Esq., coroner, and a respectable jury, on the body of Rees Jones, aged 36. It appeared in evidence that, on the preceding Saturday, the deceased, who belonged to one of the barges trading on ,thp Swansea river, jumped on boatd another barge, for the purpose of overtaking his own, which bad proceeded towards Fabian's Bay. When the barge in which he was drew up towards his own, the unfortunate man endeavoured to leap to the latter, but his foot slipped, and he.tell between the two baiges, which at that moment came into forcible contact, crushing him between them in a shocking manner. Before any assistance could be rendered, he was crushed a second time. Medical aid was promptly obtained, but the internal injuries sustained weie iff so serious a nature, that he expired, after enduring for a sbort time the most excru- ciatiugpain. A verdict of "Accidental Death" was returned. He has left a widow and one child to lament their sudden bereavement. Alh.lancholy AND FATAL ACCIDENT.—On Wednes- day night last, Thomas Morgan, Esq., son of the late Rev. Watkin Morgan,of Devvnnock, lost his lite under the follow- tug circumstances It appears that beteft Brecon at rather a late hour, on horseback, with the view of proceeding to the house of a friend in the country, and it is supposed that when a little more than a mile from the town, the horse must have shied, while going at a rapid pace, suddenly throwing his rider on his head to the ground, and producing a.concllssion of the hram.from which he most instantly have died. The horse galloped on, and was stopped by a mason of the name of Wright, who met it about a mile further, on the ClÎckhowell toad, mounted it, and brought it towards town, with the hope of meeting its owner, but discovered him. lying on his face, quite Ilead,oll the side of the road. He immediately galloped to to Mt), and informed Mr. Stephens, superintendent of police, who directly procured assistance, and having proceeded to the spot, removed the body to the White Horse, Dorlangoch, where John North, Esq., surgeon, was speedily in attendance, but he declared that death must have been immediate. A coroner's inquest was held the next day, before Thomas Batt, Esq., and a respectable jury, wbcnit appealed that the deceased was "ot intoxicated; and a verdict of Accidental Death" was returned Mr. Morgan was a very fine young man, twenty-two years of agp, and bad spent much of his time at sea. The frank manners incidental to his piofession, engrafted on his own natural good temper, bad endeared him to a very large circle of friends, and has rendered his untimely death a source of very sincere regret- — Silurian. Dtu-APFUL FIliP. AT VALPARAISO.— From the Gaceta del ( oinmercio, of the 161h. 17th, and tSibof March, re- ceived by an arrival at Swansea, we learn that Valparaiso had been the scene of a calamity, such as had never before been equalled in Chili At a quarter past eiuht, p M., on the 15".1 of March, flames wercttrst seen breaking through tbp roof of the naval stores of Messrs. Julian and Loppz. An attempt to break down the connexion between the burning edifice and a newly.built liot.se having f aiied, the firospiead with the utmost "rapidity, embracing a wide range, and tin eatening to extend over the whole circumference, which it btUiiaiitiv illuminated. Great efforts were made, to save tll- Bourse,, by pulling down houses in its vicinity, and, tor- Innaely, with success. On the other sideot the place where 'I'f "liginated, however, its progress was not arrested libit had destroyed the whole range of houses reaching even to the sp •. To pei sons ignorant of the topogi aphy of the town, il is impossible to convey an cxa(*t idea of the course of this conflagration, the damage caused by which is estimated at 2,000,000 peros (about 409,000/. sterling), though this state- ment is, in a subsequent number of the paper, somewhat modified. Immediately after the fiist alarm, the Minister of War, the Governor, and other persons of influence weie on the spot, and piompt assistance was rendered under their and others'directions, by a great number ot persons of vaiions connttics, many of w hose naotes a re gra 1 e fully and honourably recorded in ihe (inceta. The crews of inany of the vessels, both French and British, save the most valuable aid bv their courage, promptitude, discipline, and strength. Amongst the met cantile establishmentsenume ated as having sustained I losses by the fire we find the following — Hegan, Hall, and Co.; Graham, Row, anil Co Hawksley and Tomlin J.aud A. Grogan Geinmells, Haiker, and Co. Naylors, Board- man, and Oxley; Huili, Grnnning and Co.; Smith, Lang, and Co.; Green, Nelson, and Co.; Ridgeway, Farrager, and Co.; — Thompson. Of the goods destroyed or injmed 3,600 bales of merchandise are enumerated. The value of the whole is estimated at 579,000 dollars, or somewhere about 115,000/.

CARDIFF POLICE COURT, July 3< £ .—Before C. C.

Jones, ship-joiner, preferred a compiaint against a pelson who gave his name John Williams. Com- plainant staled, that on the preceding day, the defendant was opposite his house, and said that he was quite destitute and would be obliged to sleep on the pavement. Jones then offered him part of his bed. Defendant came in and slept on the bed, while Jones slept on the bottom of the bed. In a short time complainant was alarmed by his lodger, who had two razors in his hand, holding him by the throat and threatening to murder him, at the same Ittne making a great noise with a whistle, which dreadfully alarmed Jones, who | thought that be "wis calling Rebecca and her children," and that he (Jones) was done for." The defendant stated that he was rather intoxicated, and had threatened Jones "merely to frighten him," from having supposed that two sovereigns which he had about him were stolen, but which, after having been taken to the station-house, he found in the lining of his coat. He also stated that he belonged to the London police force, and was sent to Wales in plain clothes tor a special purpose.

Jones, mason, of Llnndilo, was convicted in the penalty of 5-. for drunken- ness.— Wi'hani Price, was charged with smuggling. John Hammond, officer of the coast-guard, after having been sworn, stated that about ten o'clock on the preceding night, he saw the defendant on the S'rand, with a cask on his shoulder, and upon witness asking what it contained, he said brandy," and that it was had from the French lugger Vif. Upon being taken into custody, the cask was found to contain three gallons of brandy, the prisoner was re- manded until Wednesday next. The vessel has also been detained.—James Herbert, a deserter from the 98th Regi- ment of Foot, who was dressed in smallclothes, and other. wise disguised, was brought liP, having been apprehended Oil the Strand by Sergeant Bennett, who had seen a de- scription of him advertised in the Hue and Cry. He was ordered to be sent to head-quarters, there to be dealt with according to mania) taw. NEATH TOWN-HALL, JUNE ;j().-Before Frederick Fredricks, Howel Gwyn, Henry Thomas, and ft. Llewellyn, Escji*.—John Rees, David Davies, David Williams, and William Hussy, all labourers, of the parish of Neath, was summoned by P. C. Win. Morgan, charged by Mr. William Williams, Agent to the Neath Canal Co., with having wil- fully thrown a quantity of rubbish into the said canal, con- trary to the provisions of the Act of Parliament. The de- fendants acknowledged their guilt, and pleaded ignorance as their defence. As they all seemed soriy for what they had committed, the magistrates only ordered the defendants to pay costs, amoitfiting to 1 h. Paid. They left the Court fnlly satisfied witfe tbe manner they had been dealt with.— David Wi liains. farmer, was summoned by William Rees, overseer for tlie hamlet of Michaelstone Higher, in the parish of Baglan, for refusing to pay poor-rate. Ordered to pay the amount due, 11s. 2d with 4s. 6/1. costs. Paid. — Zechatiah Thomas (alias Luke), a very old offender, was brought up by Sergeant Jones, No. 10, charged with having violently assaulted George Bageridge, both coppermeti at Neath Abbey. The case was cleariv proved by the com- plainant, and supported bv the defendant's witn ss. The defendant was convicted in the penalty of 40s., including costs, or be imprisoned in the Swansea House of Correction for one calendar month, there to be kept to hard labour. The tine was paid. The defendant received a very severe reprimand rrom the Justices, and was told, should lie at any future period make his appearance before their worships 011 a similar charge, that he should be dealt with very severely.—John Thomas, copperman, of the same place, and brother of the last defendant, a nolo.ions blackguard, was brought up by the same officer, charged with having committed an assault upon Margaret Williams, of the Skewpn. rhjs case was very clearly proved, and the defendant was ordered to pay 20s., including costs, or to be sent to the 1 Swansea House of Correction for fourteen days. The fine was paid. Das id Thomas, copperman, of the same p!act., and bi other of the two last defendants, was brought up by tlie same policeman, charged bv David Hopkin, moulder, with having committed a most brutal assault upon him, by biting a portion of his nose off. The complainant, in a ve>y straightforward maimer, proved the offence, and was cor- roboi ated by another witness, which was quite plain for every one in Court to see. James French, Esq,, surgeon, proved that a portion of the nose had been taken off, and said, by proper care been taken, that the complainanl would not be so much disfigured as he thought he would when henrst attended him. The Magistrates very properly, in very severe terms, reprimanded the defendant for his most scandalous conduct, and they wnld only convict him for the assault in the sum of five "pounds, or to be imprisoned in the Swansea Hoivse of Correction for twocaiendar months, and there t0 he kept to hard labour. This fine was also paid, leaving ihe same family minus of eight pounds in one day a very decent sum for a spree. I' is to he hoped this wilt be a warning 10 them 10 be more peaceable in future. — Leyshon Lougher, of Neath, was charged by \1 m. Harris, with illegally lenioving his goods to prevent distraining for rent due. this case settled out of Court. Mr. Hutchinson, of Neath, was charged by James Alford, for refusing to pay 6. lOd. wages. The defendant admitted the debt, but claimed a set off of (h. for ashes, which Alfmii had received. He was ordered to pay the lOd. balance, with costs which he immediately did. RAM.WAY FROM WORCF.STLILL TO CARDIFF. — Mr. Edw. Powell, a.ci%i| engineer, is taking measures forth" establish- ment of a railwhv between the above places, and which is to connect the great population of the midland counties and the north of England with the populous districts of South Wales and the south of Ireland. He states that the measure, for a long period of absolute necessity, may now be carried out under highly favourable circumstances. The Biimingham and Gloucester Company being about to construct a branch lillefrom Spetchley to Worcester, and the Taff Vale Railway Company having commenced their upper, or Morlais Castle Blanch, to counec: it with Cardiff —the low price of iron, as well as manual labour—(he highly favourable nature of the gradients—the quantity of stone and other materials for its construction being found on the spot throughout its entire length (eighty miles) —the whole of the districts through which it will pass being on the old red sandstone formation —and various other highly favourable points, render theim. mediate undertaking of ibis line of much importance, while the great traffic expected from the connection of such avast extent of country as this line ",11 unite, renders it certain uf producing large" annual profits; bis estimate for its cost 1.5()O,OOnl, A counter statement has appea ed in tlieSiluri'in, signed "An Engineer," in which he calls ill question the line, and amount of construction. As, however, the fhingis not yet fairly before the public. anti there is much to tie said on either side, we shall reserve any observations we may have to make for a future opportunity, having, 011 this occasion, merely notified that such project is under consideration.— Mining Journal MESSRS.

MONTR'VIDEO.—The following is the substance of a letter from a settler at Monte Video to his employers in this country. It gives so livelv a picttiie of the ililtiil-al features of that part of America, and of the condition and manners of its inhabitants, that we have no doubt it will he interesting and acceptable to out- readers, and every heart will respond to the feeling manner in which the writer speaks of the horrors of war, and the lamentable waste of the means of life which results from our restiictive commercial policy — Republica of the Banda Oriental, Las Tres Cruces, near Monle Video, Messrs. Herapath and Cox. March 10th, 1813. GENTLEMEN,—You will no doubt long before now have con- signed my name to the list of those faithless correspondents, who, from the moment they step upon a foreign shGre, are attracted by its novelties to forget old friends and former favours. If my pen lias been silent, it has not been for want of inclination, but of opportunity "hereby I might gather information, and that in- formation stricilv authentic, and founded Oil facts, to which I had in a great measure been eve-witness. I am confident you will fed an interest itt any information relating- to this great countrv. its trade, and its staple productions. The task is diiffcult to give vou, within the limits of a common le!ter, any adequate idea of it. Its easiness, its fertility, and extent, are almost as unbounded as they are unknown 10 the great mass of British subjects. In fact, I much dispute whether its eilial is to be found on the face of the globe, and bad it been 3011 3ears in the possession of the English, in place of the Spaniards, it would now have been the garden of the world. I do not thiuk tliat our Oriental possessions can at all compete with it in fertility of soil, splendour of climate, or richness in mineral productions. In general appearance, as far as I have seen, it is anything but picturesque, being devoid of mountain scenery (except the Andes, at a distance of 1,000 miles), mountain scenery (except the Andes, at a distance of 1,000 miles), and miserably barren of woodland scenery it is one vast fertile plain, with gentle slopes and easy undulations; beautifully inter- sected with immense rivers. The formation of these extensive plains appears to be chiefly due to the action of those great rivers, through long successive ages, partially aided by tlie fides and volcanic eruptions. I cannot, bv any means, picture to vou the sublime grandeur ofthis great river. I have sailed on the Thames, the Mersey, and the Litfev they are but mountain rills when contrasted with the Rio de la Plata. The mild and splendid temperature of the climate, the serene aud cloudless sky, the resplendent grandeur of the bright moonlight, require to be wit- nessed to be at all appreciated. Nature seems to have exhausted her powers, in accomplishing what she has done for jthis country. I have frequently seen the soil dug to Ihedcpthof 15 feet willlOut any appearance of change in the compound its composition is chiefly alluvial and marine deposits, charged, to a great extent, with saline properties. Some idea of the fertility of the soil may be formed from the fact, that it is 110 uncommon thing here, to plough successively for twellly years without manure—the last year's crop (wheat) surpassing in quantity rnd quality all the former. Yet no advantage appears to betaken of it. It bears the same appearance it had when the waters retired from it, barring the luxuriant vegetation nature has bestowed upon it it is comparatively untouched by the hand of man, except here- and there little garden plots of an acre or two, cultivated for the pro- duction of wheat or maize. Agriculture IS here in as rude a state as it was in the days of Adam. Implements of the first class have frequently been brought out from England, but the prejudices of the natives would not suffer them to use them—they preferred their own rude machines. The plough they use, is simply a crooked stick, shod at the end with iron; the workman takes it upon his shoulder when he goes to work: in working it, he holds the shaft in one hand, and in the other a long bamboo, with a spear at the end, to goad 011 the oxen. It will scarcely be believed in England, that the corn in this country is beat out of the ear by horses' feet, put into violent motion, in circular en- closures of about 30 yards in diameter it is then held to the Wtodt to clear it of husks, in a similar way to what we read of in the Old Testament. Land has increased greatly in value these last few years, it now rates from 2s. to 4s. per acre, and this in inland districts. The gentleman I am with at present, purchased about 12 years ago, a splendid estate ol 30,000 acres, 011 the banks ot the Uruguay, for Is 2d. an acre. I kDow several gentlemen here, owning estates of 60 and 90 miles square each. It is almost impossible for the mind of man to form any concep- lIOn IIf a country ill a more infantine state in all that relates to the arts. manufactures, and agriculture. Manufactures there are none, of any description whatever. The chief employment of the natives, and what they most delight in, is the work of death that dreadful wholesale slaughter of cattle and horses, giving employ- ment to thousands. Elemental power is alike unknown as it is unapplied. I do assure you there are not two steam -engines working in all the United Provinces of the Rio Plata. The lower order of na'ives here pride themselves upon their ignorance, and they hold any man as an uncivilized brute, if he cannot cut the throat of a bullock, and take its hide off. The Government enn- sists of a President and House of Representatives, and is called a Republic; but, strictly speaking, it is a military despotism, and such a one as is calculated to excite disgust in the minds of the warmest advocates of that system of government. The morals of the great bulk of the lower orders of the community are of the lowest and most depraved character murder, robbery, rape, and rapine, are here committed with impunity, and seldom capitally punislied. The highest punishment inflicted for a single murder, is. that the delinquent is compelled to serve for life in the army. If it can be proved that the offender has been guilty of six or eight murders, then he may incur tbe risk of being shot. The means of living are easy, and wages pretty good. Common la- bourers are generally in good demand, and earn from 13s. to 26s. per week, with vie uals, such as they are-chiefly beef, with a little bread and vegetables. Bricklayers, house and ship- carpenters, clo well they meet with ready employment, at wages varving from 8s. to 14s. per day. Bootmakers and tailors, if steady, and tolerable hands, will realise fortunes here, and may begin with a small capital. I pay 32s. per pair for light summer boots; a pair of common cloth trousers costs 45s.. and a pair of white drill ones 26s. Prime cognac brandy may be bought at 5s. per gallon; rum is retailed at 6d per quart, and common wine at 4d. Coffee is sold, the bag together, at 4d. per lb.; common sugar, taking the barrel, at 31 (1. per lb.; tea about the same as in England. Beef and mutton are sold in the market at td. to Id. per Ih. Bread is about the same as in England it is all made and sold by common bakers it does not bear a relative value to the wheat grown here, which we have often bought at less than a third of what it is sold for in England. Butter is 4s. per lb. You may buy a cow for less than you will pay for two gallons of milk, on account oftbtt little trouble they have in taming them. I will now endeavour to give you all the information I am able, respecting the curing and exportation of hides from this country. -[Here follows a particular account of the process of slanghter- ing and flaying the cattle, and salting and drying the hides, which is omitted, as not being generally interesting], I must not omit to inform you, that some of the Saladerias have jerking establishments connected with them; at others, the cattle are killed solely for the hide the care ise. being dried, is either consumed as fuel upon file premises, by having brick ovens attached, or sold to the brick manufacturers, a! the rate of Is. 8(1. English per carcase. This" ill appear strange to you, but I call assure you that the carcases of horses, sheep, and cattle. constitute the chief fuel of the country. It is no uncommon thing here to drive a flock of sheep into a lime-kiln, and set fire to them, while living, the monsters not taking the trouble to cut their throats. I have been eye-witness to instances of this kind, and the tears dimmed my eyes when I thought of my .suffering countrymen, who were perishing of want in the leading cities of my native land. I thought there was something wrong in this—the cause I could lay to no other account than a want of that perfect freedom of in- tercourse, which it is the reciprocal interest of nations to maintain, It is not that ihey are necessitated lo this through a want of fuel the country, in many districts, abounds in eital; but it is easier to use animal fuel than to dig for coal. Monte Video, for this last four months, has been wretchedly dull, on account of the war—scarcely anything doing. There have been several failures of English houses in immense sums. On December 6tb,a general engagement was fought on the frontier: the army of this Republic was defeated, with great loss, and the enemy gradually advanced on Monte Video, until, about seven weeks ago, it reached here; since that time the citv has been closelv besieged by the Buenos-Avrean army of 20,000 men. Our place is right in the centre of the outposts, so we drop in for a good share of the row. The family are all fled to the town. At the time I am writing, the table shakes beneath my hand with ihe booming of artillery. If I step to the window, the only sights that meet my eyes are the advancing and retreating of troops— families flying-houses. burOlng-catlle driven otf—vi!tagcs de- serted—waggons hurrying to and fro, with the dying and the dead ;-these are every-day occurrences. The beautiful English cemetery is now one mass of ruins the high walls and keeper's house are level with the ground every tree and shrub cut down and destroyed the marble monuments of the dead are brokrn and trodden under horses' fept-it is dreadful to contemplate. The city, whose streets but a short time ago bustled with the throng of commerce, is now still and gloomy as the sepulchre of the dead; shops are closed-all work is at a sIand-still; pier- heads and public promenades are deseited—in fact, one universal gloom pervades the whole piace. Beef is selling at 4s. per lb., fowls at Ss. each, and everything in proportion. Such is Monte Video at the present time. There must be an awful responsibility upon the civilized governments of Europe, for suffering these dreadflll wars and commotions to disturb this land and convulse its commerce, and not settling upon some permanent Coding the affairs of these provinces. I remain, Gentlemen, with the greatest re-ptct, Yours truly, THOMAS ISMAY.

'8& On Friday, v new drama, called M Peter and Paol," was produced with much care. It is an interesting subject, but re- minds u8 of the petite French piece of The Two Friends." Notwitbst inding the interest created by the Two Brothers, Peter and Paul, we think the author might have afforded more comic relief to it. The weight of the acting and success of the piece depend upon Mr. A. lounge as Peter, and Mrs. Macnamara all his wife, and fully and elfectivcly they sustained their parts: they were most ably suppported by Messrs. Barry, ibuway, and Cunningham. We wish Miss Browne would elevatelier voice a little more, and not drop it at toe periods she would, we think, find her advantage in so doing, and the nudience would have some little chance of hearing what she savs. "Rosina" followed, in which Mr. Barhan) sang tiie music of Mr. BAville sweetly. Binks, the Bagman," continues his triumphant carper, and pays a third visit to Swansea this evening.—Go Mondav, the opera of Rob Ilov was performed, and we regret we cannot speak as favomably of the Hcting as we could wis'); of course there were exceptions.

Miss S.-ker plated her origin*! part of Chcrvi/ to the lite—and the piece, tako'n as a ivhole, jrnve great satisfaction.—That the Company is gener-itlv approved of, we i-r, i r adduce as evidence, that the receipts have increased in amount .'lightly since the opening. The attendance has been more nu- merous this season at tlie cumiueiirenwut than for several meat's and we congratulate Mr. Newcombe upon it.
