a—BJH.L- met/ne*tep'* anb eburotravo Vostt*. LONDON, AUG. 1. THE Madrid Journals give full accounts of the entry of the insurgents into that capital:—On the 23d ult., Seoane advanced two leagues from Alcala and took up a strong position in front of Narvaez's troops, near San Jpan de los IJueros, being protected by a steep- banked stream, the Tortora on the right. Narvaez had about 10,000 infantry with him, and a large body of cavalry. Seoane's forces amounted to only 8000 in- fantry and 600 cavalry but he had 20 pieces of cannon, a force far superior to that of the insurgents. At six in the morning Narvaez gave the signal ot attack, and a sharp fire of musketry commenced along the line. At t')e same time his soldiers made gestures, and called out to their comrades on the other side to join them. The firing then partially ceased, and Narvaez, as soon as he could make himself heard, made a short but ener- ge'ic address to Seoane's troops. They hesitated, and the iii,,itter appeared doubtful, when Seoane rushed to the front, exposing himself to great danger in doing so, and endeavoured as much as he could to recall his bat- talions to a sense of their duty. He seemed for a moment to have completely succeeded, when Narvaez ordered his cavalrv, headed by Brigadier Schelly, to charge. This was done most effectually, Seoane's troops being out-flanked, and partly surrounded. This movement was decisive, and terminated this burlesque affair, which lasted in all less than twenty minutes. Immediately sixteen out of eighteen battalions went over to Narvaez, Zurbano, having succeeded in leading off the other two in the direction of Madrid. The num- ber of killed and wounded will scarcely cause much mourning throughout the wide provinces of Spain, being on Seoane's side, three men killed and seventeen wounded whilst amongst the troops on the other side, only four were wounded! Amongst the latter was JJrigadier Schelly, who was slightly wounded in the thigh. Seoane, who appears to have done all that a brave leader could attempt under the circumstances, was taken prisoner. He was sent to a house in Torre- jon, and treated with the utmost respect. The Journals from which we take this account, s'a'e that he is much discontented with the inexcusable task imposed on him by the Regent, the latter, at the same time, keeping most sedulously away from the theatre of operations. It may be remarked on this point, that though the ex- traordinary inertness of the Regent is unaccountable, yet Seoan; would most probably have succeeded in his attempt to beat the insurgents and gain Madrid, had not treachery entered his ranks. Various decrees of the new Government have been published in the Madrid papers. If these declarations are adhered to, a fair amount of constitutional liberty is guaranteed to the capital. The Post-office is ordered to Jet all newspapers for distribution pass freely, and the entire freedom of the press is fully recognized. All the decrees are issued in the name of Isabella If and the Government of the natioll.-A Madrid letter of the 25th informs us that the Duchess of Victoria still remained in Madrid, and that M. Mendizabal had taken refuge at the English Embassy. It was reported in Madrid that General Van Halen had begun to bombard Seville, but with no olher motive, however, than to protect the retreat of the Regent upon Cadiz, Van Halen having continued faithful to him to the last. Dispatches were received yesterday from the Go- vernor-General of Algeria, dated Algiers, the 18th. They contain further details of the operations of the column under his immediate command during the late campaign, and reports from some of the commanders of other divisions; but no new facts of importance are mentioned. An Overland mail has just arrived (via Paris). The intelligence which it brings is to the 19th of June, and is of interest, and in particular relative to the state of the newly acquired province of Sinde. That most fer- tile district, which under a good government, and pro- perly cultivated, will become a garden, is now nearly pacified by the measures adopted by Sir Charles Napier, its present Governor. He has made terras with most of the chiefs, and even Meer Shere Mahomed is stated to have offered to make his submission, provided he could have his private property secured to him. There is no doubt that within a short time the complete paci- fication of the country will he effected Sickness pre- vailed very much in the camp at Hyderabad. Several officers died. Sir Charles Napier had an attack offever, but bad recovered. The communications by sea with Sinde had been closed by the monsoon, but the route via Omercote to Bhooj and Balmeer would, it was expected, be speedily opened. -In the interior of India tranquillity prevails. There were some disturbances at the capital of the late Scindiah's dominions, where the Ministers, appointed to govern during the minority of the child chosen to succeed him, was attacked and dispossessed of his power. The British had not inter- fered, but it was generally supposed that they would soon be obliged to send troops to protect the young Sovereign himself. The disturbances at Gualior will, it is supposed, soon require the Hon Company to take' possession of the States formerly held by Scindiah, and which have latterly constituted the second power of the interior —Lord Ellenborough left Agra on the 30th of May for Cawnpore Allahabad, en route for Calcutta Rumour asserts that strict orders had arrived from home ordering him to join his council. Prior to his departure from Agra he named Mr. Clark Governor of the North Western Provinces.—The news from China is extremely scanty. Reports had been circulated of Sir Henry Pottinger's sickness, but they were regarded as exaggerations. He was said, according to the latest news of the beginning of May, to be waiting for the arrival of the new Imperial Commissioner, Ke Ying, who was expected at Canton about the beginning of June. The steamer Pacha arrived at Falmouihon Saturday from Lisbon, bringing papers, to the 24th. The Queen of Portugal was safely delivered of a Princess on the 22d: both were doing well, and great rejoicings, with illumination", had taken place at Lisbon in consequence. Espartero had not entered Portugal, and at Lisbon it it was reported that he had proceedeq from Madrid towards Seville, at the head of about 5000 men, but it was not known if he intended to proceed to Cadiz. Ii is. however, said that the British Commander had in- structions to receive him on board should he make an application for protection from which it would appear an opinion was entertained that his troops would be in- duced to join the insurgents, and that he would in such event endeavour to seek refuge under the British flag. We have received the Zuid Afrikaan of May 5, which contains the minute of Governor Napier, com- municating the decision of the Home Government on the subject of the Port Natal territory. Lord Stanley approves of the condnctof Lieut.-Col. Cloete, in having restrained the Zoolas from falling on the emigrant farmers, and of his other proceedings with regard to them. His Lordships trusts that the leniency displayed by the Government will not be lost upon these mis- guided men, with respect to whom the Government has resolved not to coerce them by military force to abandon Natal, or to leave them to conduct their own affairs without protection. Her Majesty was resolved on taking them under the protection of the British Crown, on recognising their district and of adopting it as a British Colony. The minute then directs the appoint- ment of a Commissioner to proceed to the district forth- with, and inquire into its local condition and circum- stances. Mr. Advocate Cleote, a member of the Legis- lative Ccuncil, hf.8 been appointed to this situation. The nomination is generally approved.-The prospect of a speedy settlement of this troublesome affair-gives great satisfaction at the Cape. Her Majesty and Prince Albert, accompanied by

their Royal Highnesses Prince and Princess Augusta of Saxe Coburg Gotlia, and his SereneH ighness Prince Leopold, paid a visit on Saturday, to the new Houses of Parliament The Royal party were received by Mr. Barry, the architect, who, attended by Mr. Gristel, escorted the Royal personages round the buildings, wi'h which her Majesty and the Prince were pleased to ex- press themselves much gratified. Mr. Grissel had the honour of being presented to her Majesty by Mr. Barry.—Yesterday, the Queen and Prince Albert. accompanied by the Duke Ferdinand and the Princes Augustus and Leopold of Saxe Coburg, and the PrincessClementine, attended by their respective suites, visited the Exhibition of the Royal Academy. Her Majesty was received and conducted through the rooms by the President, Officers, and Council of that Institu- tion. Her Majesty was pleased to express her appro- bation of the works of art collected there. The Duke of Wellington, accompanied by the Duke and Duchess of Buccleuch, Lord A. Fitzclarence, Lord and Lady Seymour, and a party of ladies, inspected the new Royal yacht at Deptford on Monday. The yacht is ordered to be ready by the 15th inst., when it is understood her Majesty and Prince Albert will take their departure for Walmer, where they will remain possibly a month, taking an occasional cruise in the Channel. The Black Eagle is getting ready very fast to accompany the Royal squadron, and has nearly 300 shipwrights at work on her. She will be considerably lengthened, and have engines of 260 horse power of improved make. A contract has been entered into by two influential firms-one in London, the other at Liverpool-to con- vey out 5000 poor emigrants to Australia. ( In the county of Cornwall there are 370,000 inha- bitants, 10,000 of whom are miners, and 70,000 tee- totallers; and of this large body there were but five prisoners for trial at the last Assizes! Thus absti- nence lessens crime and abates misery. There are only two instances of Quakers having been returned to Parliament, and it is remarkable that one was for the county, and the other the city of Durham. Joseph Pease, of Darlington, represented the southern division of the county after the passing of the Reform Bill, and John Bright, of Rochdale, has now beeu returned for the city. Lord Stewart de Rothsay, the English Ambassador at the Court of St. Petersbargh, is about to be recalled, and his Lordship's place in that capital is to be sup- plied by the Duke of Beaufort. DEATH OF THE DUKE OF DORSET, K.G.-We have to announce the death of the above distinguished Nobleman on Saturday last, at his residence in Harley-street, in his 7Gth year. His Grace had been for some months in feeble health, and his death was, therefore, not unexpected. He succeeded to the family honours in 1815, on the death of his consin Charles, Dnke of Dorset, who was killed,by a fall from his hor-.e in Dublin, whiist on a visit at the Vice-regal Court, during the Lord Lieutenancy of his father--in-law, Earl Wliit- worth. The late Dnke was Viscount Sackville previous to his accession to the Dukedom, and dying without issue, the Dukedom of Dorset, Earldom of Middlesex, Barony of Buck- hurst, &c., become extinct. His Grace was a personal favourite of King George the Fourth, and King William the Fourth, to both of which Monarchs he was Master of the Horse, and from the former he received the decoration of the Garter. The late Duke has left an only sister, mar- ried to If. A. Herbert, Esq., and a niece, daughter of his late brother, the Hon. George Sackville Germain, married to Wm. Bruce Stopfoid, Esq., of the Foreign-office. ENLARGEMENT OF DOCKYARDS.—A measure is now in Committee of the House of Commons, in which it is declared that -lit has become necessary and expedient that her Majesty should be enabled to acquire lands tor enlarging the naval arsenals of the kingdom and for other punlic pur- poses, with the several departments under the management and control of the Lord High Admiral, or the Commissioners for exercising the office of the Lord Admiral." The Com- missioners may purchase lands to carry into operation the Act, and should a Lord High Admiral be appointed, the property to vest in him. The other provisions, in the bill which in the whole amount to fo: ty-four, relate to compen- sition to be awarded to parties whose lands are required for the enlargement of the dockyards. The bill is entitled "Admiralty Lands." SEIZURE OF IMITATIVE OR OAK LEAF CIGARS.—At the Court of Excise, Tim rsday, Benjamin Law,of Whitecross- street, was charged with vending certain British leaves in imitation of tobacco, with intent to defraud her Majesty of the duty thereon.—Mr. G. Phillips, Professor of Chemistry, stated, that he had examined samples of the articles taken from the defendant, and found them composed of oak leaves, with one or two bramble leaves, covered with dyed paper. There was not a particle of tobacco in their composition.— The Court fined the defendant in the penalty of 501.
. - IMP E R I A L PARHAM E…
IMP E R I A L PARHAM E N T. HOUSE OF LORDS. MONDAY, JULY 31.-Lord Campbell introduced a short bill, suspending tor one year, all proceedings that may be taken to eject the holders of certain professorships in the Scotch Universities from their offices. The bill was read a first time, and the second reading appointed for Thursday. Lord Fortescue presented a petition from Lord Oranmore on the subject of the Irish Church Establishment. The pe- tition was of great lenjrtli; its main prayer was that a divi. sion of the revenues of the Established Church may be made, so as to supply the spiritual wants of the Catholic, Presby. teiian, and Protestant population. The Noble Earl fully concurred in the prayer of the petition, as being in con- formity with the ordinary rules of justice and common sense. -The Lord Chancellor put the question that the petition do lie on the table, and declared the Contents had it.-After the question had been put, the Duke of Wellington rose, and throwing himself into an attitude of defiance, and raising his voice to a pitch that echoed through the House, thus gave expression to his feelin,-s: Aly Lords, I have no objection, so far as any irregularities may have been taken by the Noble Lord himself, to this petition lying on the table; nor shall I now enter into the discussion of the im. portant questions to which it relates. I wish only to warn your Lordships of one circumstance attending it—the prayer of this petition goes neither more nor less than this impor- tant question, whether your Lordships are to repeal or to maintain the laws by which the Reformation has been esta- blished in this United Kingdom.-( Loud cheers). That is the question submitted for your Lordships' consideration in this petition from a Peer of Ireland, though not a member Of this House; that is the question, which I beg your Lord- ships to consider well, and to decide whether or not yon will listen to such arguments in support of such a proposi- tion.-Some conversation followed on the alleged irregularity in which the question had been put, and the subject dropped. The Libel and Defamation Bill, with the amendment on the 6th clause proposed by Lord Brougham, was read a third time and passed. On the motion of Lord Wharncliffe, the Cathedral Churches (Wales) Bill went through Committee, and the report was ordered to be received on Tuesday se'nnight. Several bills were advanced a stage, aftet which their Lordships adjourned. TUESDAY, AUGUST [.-The Royal assent was given by commission to several bills; some others were forwarded a ttage; and the House adjoorned at half-past the o'clock to Thursday. -r HOUSE OF COMMONS. MONDAY, JULY 31.—Mr. Hume withdrew his motion that the Attorney General be directed to prosecute the agents of Lord Dungannon for bribery at the previous Dur- ham election. He had attentively gone over the evidence, and there was no doubt that the pal ties he had alluded to had been guilty of numerous acts of bribery, by the distri- tuition of head money. As he understood, however, that there was no bribery at the recent election, he would not press the House to adopt his resolution. On the motion of Mr. Christopher, an order was issued for committing to Newgate a man named Samuel Potts, for affixing forged names to a petition presented to the House. COLLEGR OF SURGEONS.—Mr. F. RJaule wished to put three questions to the Right Hon. Secretary for the Home Department, first,—whether he had it in contemplation to grant a charter to the Royal College of Surgeons? next, if it were so contemplated, whether the Right Hon. Gent. had any objection to lay the draught of that charter before Parliament? and that whether, if the charter were granted, the Right Hon. Gent. meant it to be acted upon before the Government took np the entire question of medical reform? -Sir J. Graham, whose reply was almost wholly inaudible, was understood to say, that some charters were statutory and others granted by prerogative, and Parliament could only deal with the former. The one relating to the College of Surgeons was not statutory. The Government were about to review all the medical charters, but he could not give any assurance that the dranght of any new charter which the Crown might be disposed to grant would be laid on the table of the House before it wa" confirmed. Such a course as this the Right Hon. Gent, knew would be both unusual and unprecedented. Neither wonld he (Sir J. Graham) pledge himself as to what powers would be vested in any new charter which might hereafter be granted to the College of Surgeons. LIME FOR MANURE.—Mr. B. Escott gave notice that, on the House going into committee on the Turnpike Bill, he wonld move, as an instruction to the committee, to remit all turnpike dues on the transit of lime to be used for a"ti. cultural purposes. ° CHURCH OF SCOTLAND.—The order of the day for the second reading of the Scotch Church Bill was then read, and Sir J. Graham went into a long statement of the objects of the Act, wishing that the general principle of not opposing the second readings of bills that have passed the other House might be observed on the present occasion.—An animated discussion followed, in which the bill was strongly supported by Sir Robert Peel. On a division, the numbers were—for the second reading, 98; against it, 80. Majority for Mi. nisters, 18. The other orders of the day were then disposed of, and the House adjourned at two o'clock. TUESDAY, AUG. I.-Col. Rushbroke moved a new writ for Sudbury, upon which lIlr. Blackstone proposed, as an amendment, that leave should be given to bring in a bill for an effectual inquiry on the spot into the practices alleged to exist there.-After some discussion, the House divided, when there appeared, for issuing the writ, 25; for the amendment, 138. Majority, 113. Lord J. Manners brought forward, but subsequently with. drew, a motion relative to the restrictions imposed on private charity by the law of mortmain, contending they ought no longer to fetter the benevolence of individuals. IRISH CHURCH.-Mr. Ward then brought on his motion for an address to the Queen, affirming the Church of Ireland, to be among the most prominent grievances of her peoplea and pledging the House to co-operate with her Majesty in r new settlement of the property of that Church. In all othe conntries the «staMtshed religion was that of the majority' but in Ireland this rnle was reversed, because there the majority was a conquered race. The clear revenue of the Protestant Church was abont 552,7531., being at the rate of about 15s. a head for each communicant of the Establish- ment; while the Regium donum to the Presbyterians made provision only at the rate of about Is. a head and for the Roman Catholics there was not a farthing. The existence of such a Church was regarded by the Irish not only as an injury, but us an insult. Being men, they must be governed, and they could not be governed thus. Yon could not thus govern 8,000,000 of people, living in the midst of yon, and knit together by the bond of a common justice. He would propose altogether to break np the present establishment of Bishops and Archbishops in Ireland, and would look only to the working clergy. As to the funds of the Church, he would place them, subject to existing Interests, in the hands of commissioners, and distribute them among the members of the Establishment, the Presbyterians, and the Roman Catholics, according to the numbers of each denomination. The spirit in which the House should proceed to night wonld have a great effect upon the question of union, and he wonld fain see the two conntries made one in a perfect equality, civil and religions. Afr. Carew seconded the motion. Lord Eliot said that Mr. Ward had admitted that no man who voted for this address could stop there; and it was, therefore, for gentlemen to consider whether they were pre- pared to vote for the total destruction of the Protestant Church. The question of a Protestant Establishment was also the question of a Protestant Sovereign certainly, until the throne should be opened to the Catholics, they had not the complete equality demanded on their behalf. The total revenue of the Irish Church, which Mr. Ward had put at upwards of 552,0001., was, in fact, 432,1231.; and this sum, when distributed among 1,396 beneficed clergymen, and 744 curates, gave an average income of little more than 20W. to each. Gentlemen talked of the Roman Catholics as if they were the whole people of Ireland- treatttlg the entire body of the Protestant proprietors as no part of that people. M r. Ward had said that the English and Scotch nations would never consent to tax themselves for the maintenance of the Roman Catholic clergy. Did he suppose those two nations would ever consent to the abolition of the Protestant Church ? The language now employed was strangely at variance with the assurances given when the emancipation was carried. There was, then, on the subject of the Church, a distinct understanding and compact, which it would be a plain breach of faith in the Government now to violate. When Lord Eliot concluded, the debate was adjourned to the next day.

.O,t.tript. LONDON, WEDNESDAY, AUG. 2. By an express from Paris this morning, we learn that Madrid was tranquil on the 29th. The Municipality was reconstructed with new members maintaining the dominant opinions. The Deputy Domineck was a member of it.—The bombardment of Seville continued on the 22d on the 23d it ceased- Espartero and Van Halen were treating with the inhabitants.—Mendizabat is still concealed in Madrid. Several members of the late Ministry have quitted Madrid.—The Duke de Baylen is named tutor to the Queen, atl interim.- Zurbano who entered Madrid on the 29th, started, after taking some repose and paying a visit to the Duchess of Victoria, for Andalusia. The intelligence received from India, by the Over- land mail, and of which a summary is given in a pre- ceding column, derives increased interest from the private correspondence" brought by the same mail. It appears that there is really a probability, at length, of our an horities in India directing their best energies to the best means of securing its social improvement, and thereby consolidating and advancing its political welfare. The labours of Sir Charles Napier in the pacification of Sinde, seem likely to be accomplished with the same spirit and promptitude as that brilliant campaign by which he effected its conquest. The Ameers treat frankly and readily with th-iir former antagonist, upon whom the peaceful settlement and civil organisation of their fertile and important country will confVr a distinction more permanent, a renown more enviable, than the fact of having added it to the wide dominions of British India.

•u'lT-a SWANSEA. FKI DAY, .AUG. 4. In our 4ih page will be found a report of the Pembrokeshire Assizes. Our Correspondent's letter, containing ihe same, the superscription of which was legibly written, was mis-sent last week to London It was a source of much vexation, as well as los", to ns-bot, as the Postmaster at Haverfordwest assures u. it was purely accidental, we here let the matter rest, trusting our readers will be compensated iu some measure by the copiousness of the details. — IRELAND remains in the same melancholy state as that in which she has been during the greater part of the present session. Mr. O'Connell is addressing as usual crowded repeal audiences. His subscription list is daily increasing. Ilis power remains undiminished and unchecked, and he threatens the Government by declaring that he will summon a Convention in Dubliu to represent the interests of the Irish people.^ What a curious piece of history will this Repeal agitation be to posterity. They will wonder at the power that one man obtained over so many of his countrymen, and at the weakness of a Parliament that allowed him, during an entire session, to set them at defiance, by collecting meetings which, by the law, were positively detJared illegal. Posterity will be still more astonished when they are told that the Government possessed a large majority in both Houses. The only verdict they can come to will be one convicting the Administration of Sir Robert Peel of timidity and irresolution, for those are the two most conspicuous faults in their conduct towards Ireland. As Lord John Russell said in the House of Commons a week ago, th&y represent two opinions, one, that they ought to stand still and resist every change, the other, that they ought to go on in measures of improvement and conciliation. By the dismissal of the magistrates they gave a slight symptom of favouring the former, but no succeeding act has sup- ported that step. One would have thought that Repeal meetings would have been immedialely put down when meetings would have been immedialely put down when Magistrates were deprived of their office for attending them. But no, the Government was irresolute, and let the opportunity escape when those assemblies might have been suppressed with occasioning but little dis- turbance. We have since beheld them spreading over a large portion of the country, almost producing anarchy in that division of the empire, and threatening the sta- bility of the whole. The second opinion is now open to the Government to follow. They ought to in ro- duce measures of improvement and conciliation. They should attempt a large, liberal, and comprehensive policy. such as that which has been recommended, by increasing the means of the country, by adding to its commerce, by proposing internal improvements, and doing every thing that can in any way better the con- dition of and advance the prosperity of the nation. The effect of it would be the conciliation of Ireland. All true friends to that country must lament the present indecision and inactivity of Government. Sir Robert Peel says he and his colleagues have governed upon large and comprehensive principles, and then admit they have exasperated one party, and do not possess the confidence of the other.

We are sorry to sfate- tfcat fBa- workmen of the Swansea Copper Works stopped work this morning, declining to submit to the proposed redaction in their wages. The men engaged in the following extensive Works have stood aiit :-Mes,,r. Vivian's, Messrs. Williams Foster and Co.'s, the Middle Bank Works, the Whiterock Works, the Upper Bank, the Crown Copper Works, Neath, and the Red Jacket Copper Works, Neath. Those in the employ of the Messrs. Benson have not struck. The men of one of the Works had assembled about ten o'clock this iiioiiiiii^, in a field abo-P the Havod Works, where they expected to he joined by the others, when they were to go in procession through Monistou, and all ttie Woikiz, and perhaps through Swansea.—Th- following are the reductions complained of:-Slajrmen, formerly earning 30s. a-week, are now reduced to 22s. ad.; metal smelters, from 30s. tu 26s. :i I. ore smelters, from 26s. to 22*.

The above was represented to be tlie highest rate of wages. We have much pleasure in stating, that the Bail, which took place at our Assembly-Rooms, oo Wednesday evening last, was one of the most spirited and distinguished that has taken place in ibis town for some years. The hand, under the able leadership of Mr. R. Guy," played a number ot waltzes, qnadiilles, &c., in a manner that reflected the highest credit on the respective performers. Mr. Barrc with bis usual aptitude, had ihe rooms most tastefully adorned' and, as is always the case, proved a most able caterer. The party broke nj> at a late hour in the nioi nil); much gratified with their really pleasant meeting. SWANSEA RACES. —We were fearful at one time that these sports would have been discontinued this year rorii the want of support; but two gentlemen having kindly undertaken the office of Stewards, and a Committee having been formed, who have drawn out a new bill of fare, we have now the satisfaction of stating, that they will take place Oil tbe „Jth and Gist of Augnst instant. It is hoped the ar- langenieiHs will tend to give satisfaction to onr sporting friends the bill of particulars contains three races for each day, which are arranged with a view to sport, and is worthy ot the attention of the racing world. Tbe Committee havi; already commenced collecting subscriptions, and from the success that has hitherto attended their efforts, we are con- fident their endeavours will be crowned with success.—For particulars see advertisement. MIUTAKY MOVEMENTS.—On Monday, a troop of tho 4th Li-ht Dragoons arrived in this town from Llandilo, and 100 men of the 75th regiment, who had only left this place on the previous Friday, returned. There is a greater number 0 military renaming in this town at the present moment than within the recollection of anv of the inhabitants. Tlioiigh trade is exiteiviely in many branches, the town is quiet as far as it regards any attempt to break I t he peace. BUKGLARY AND ROBBERY.—Some thieves entered the house of Mr. James Cress, Cwmavon, on Tuesday ni 'ht last, through the cellar grating. A quantify of porter, pro- visions, &c\, was carried away. TUKNPIKR TOLLS.—On Thursday last, a written com- plaint was made to the Magistrates of this town, bv a great number of persons, who obtain a livelihood by hatilin" coal for supplying the town, charging Mr. Bllllen, the farmer of the tolls of the Swausea districl, with the exaction of iIIe;¡ tolls. The Magistrates teceived the complainants with Tin; greatest cordiality and kindness, and were glad to find that they had brought forward thpir complaint in a peaceable and lawful manner, and assured the complainants that it shollld have immediate attelltirm. M r. Bullen was requested to attend, which he realiily did, and Mr. Wtp. Walters ap- peared for the complainants. The complaint was, that the scale of the tolls which Mr Bullen had rented of the Trus- tees, authorised him to take qrl. only for every one-horse cai t of coal, which sum was also stated oil the painted toll, board, as being the charge; notwithstanding that, he had for more than a year past exacted a toll of 3d. for every horse drawing coal. Mr. Bullen, on being called upon for his answer to this charge, referred to an Act of Parliament, and contended that the Trustees had no power to reduce the toll to lid.; that therefore lie had a right to demand the utmost toll allowed by the Act, viz., 3d., but admitted that the scale of tolls let to him, and the toll-board, only authorised the demand of lid. The Mngistiates referred to the Act 4 Geo. IV. c. 95, whereby it is directed, that any toll-collector, exacling a greater toll than allowed by any order or resolution of the Trustees, was liable to a penalty of 51. They signified their unanimous opinion, that he had been gnilty of an illegal exaction, and that they w«re pre- pared to tine him when the case was ready for adjudication. The hearing of this case was resumed this day, and the Ma- gistrates unanimously convicted Mr. Bullen in the full pe- jjalty of 51. We hope this decision will give the public con. ndence in t he laws, and induce all persons to bring iheir grievances' before* the Magistrates, who have thus shown themselves so ready to give redress. BURCONSHIRE ASSIZES.—Mr. Baron Rolfe arrived at Brecon about six o'clock on Saturday evening, when the Commission was opened and the Court was then adjourned to ten on Monday. On Sunday, his Lo-dship attended dmne senice at Saint Mary's Church, where a most excel- lent sermon was preached by the Rev. Chatles Maybery, M.A., Rector of Penderin, Brother and Chaplain to the H'Sh Sheriff, Walter Maybery, Esq. On Monday morning tbe Grand Jury, of whom Col. Wood, M.P., was foreman, having been sworn, the Learned Judge commenced his charge to the Grind Jury, hy observing, thjt the few cases in the calendar were not such as railed for any particular observation from him. His Lordship then proceeded to say, thajtjn the counties tluongh which he had just passed, he had taken occasion to advert in his addresses to the Grand Juries of those counties, to tloe public disturbance* which had recently Occurred therein, aud of which tha Gentlemen of the Grand Jury had of course heard the particulars. The proceedings had not come before him judicially, but it was scarcely possible that he should not haie been made acquainted with them, as they were matter-, of gevieral iiotoriety. He was very happy to find, that ItS far as he had been able to ascertain, no such disturbance* had taken place in the county of Brecon. It was an old adage, however, and a true one, that one's own house is in danger when one's neighbours is on fire; and, applying the principle of that adage to the position in which the county of Brecon stood in relation to those adjoining, the seats of the late outbreaks, he considered it would not be improper, and that at all events it could do no harm, to impress the Magistrates of Breconshire also, with the necessity of being, if possible, more vigilant and prompt than ever in suppress- ing disorder and maintaining the public peace. The im- propriety or injustice of any demand, however gross, could afford no excuse whatever for such occurrences as those to which he had alluded yet, considering the complicated provisions which were usually introduced into Turnpike Acts, he thought it far from being impossible that exactions might in some cases have been made which wure not warranted by the particular enactments. He fell sure, however, that the justices would not only exert themselves in maintaining Ihe peace and good order of society, but would also readily investigate any claims which were alleged to he unfounded, as well as subjects of complaint generally, and redress as far as they might such grievances, if any, as were found to exist.—The Calendar contained the names of four prisoners for trial, and at the nisi prius bar there Was but one cause. The result we shall give in our next. PETTY. SESSIONS.—There was no business of im- portance transacted at these sessions duirng the last week. After a case of drunkenness and bad conduct had been disposed of, Williams, the man who was required to enter into recognizances to appear before the Bench for crying out Becca for ever," was discharged on being cautioned not again to commit such a breach of the peace of otir sove- reign Lady the Queen.—There was some sparring between Thos. Penrice, Esq., and the Rev. J. Collins, the latter gentleman thinking it uncourteous in Mr. Penrice to sign a warrant, summoning him to appear for non-payment of poor-rates without informing him of it, as he ought to have done to a brother Magistrate. The Rev. Dr. Hewson said, that the law looked upon all with an equal eye, and that no complaints naving regard to mere, personal feelings could be taken cognizance of by the Magistrates. The cases de- posed of before the Mayor weie principally those of drunk- enness.—There was a person charged with an nnmeniionable crime, who was remanded for further evidence. BKISTOL BANKRUPTCY COUUT.—Tbe adjourned hearing of the petition of the Rev. Ebenezer Mortis, Vicar, of Llanelly, Carmarthenshire, an insolvent debtor, came on for hearing before the Commissioner, Mr. Serjeant Stephens, on Thursday, the 27lh ulf., when the Reverend Gentleman was again opposed by Mr. Jeffries, the solicitor of R. G. Thomas, Esq., one of the largest creditors, and after briefly examining the insolvent, and adducing evidence contrary to his statemeots. the Learned Commissioner dismissed the petition, on the grounds that the insolvent had omitted cre- ditors from his schedule, and had falsely described, or omitted to insert, some of his personal property therein. Murder at Port Arthur.—We allnued last week to suspicious attached to the man Williams. The jury on the inquest returned a verdict of murdered by some person or persons unknown .1, but Williams has since made a volun- tary confession to the Chief-constable, Mr. Newinan. He stuted that he was tired of his life, and had determined, on the morning that lie absconded, to murder theJirst man he met. He came upon Harkness, and wished him to let him kill a kid the old man refused, anti shortly afte) wards Williams ■ struck him over the left eye with the handle of a pick axe he fell from the effect of the blow, which Williams repeated until he considered him dead. Williams conducted Mr. Newman to the spot where he had concealed the pick-axe handle, which was found accordingly. He "ill no doubt be fully committed tor trial aud sent to this place.- Louncestois Courier.- [A letter received in Swansea, from Port Philip,, dated in March last,says—" Zephaniah Williams, the New. port Chartist, for killing all old man, has been hanged."] A half-yearly meeting of the United Mexican Mining Association was held last week at the London Tavern, Sir John EASTHOPE in the chair.—The repoit stated that the returns of ore during the past year had been 157,400 dollars; 68,862 of which belonged to the Ray as family, as owners of the mine, and 88,537 dollars to the association, by means of which the debt upon the mine, as regarded the association, was reduced to 893,572 dollars. The returns for the four months from December to April last, were 63,294 dottars;. of which the association had received 35,603, thus reducing the above-mentioned debt to 857,969.
