In France, it ended in one vast explosion, which shook Europe to its centre. In England, it is now going on under the shape of Anti-Corn-Law Agitation, peaceably organised, and carrying on the contest with the Lords of the land, for bread and commer- cial freedom, by subscriptions of fifties of thousands of pciunds. The landed interest, we repeat, should take warn- ing: we ever are for peaceably-attained improve- ments we uniformly deprecate violence we are for rational rriorms within the Constitution hence iVC dread the effects of a prolonged resistance to Corn Law Repeal, until the people of the towns, from being thoroughly aroused by agitation, become J I exasperated. I Let concession be refused for another Parliament, for another session, for another quarter, perhaps, and who knows what the demands of the people of Eng- land may be ?—-who knows what power the Re- pealers may acquire amid the confusion to which a bankrupt revenue and a divided town and country population :nay tend ? Look only to the single branch of the question relating to America. Our trade has fallen ofF to one third of its former amount with the United States. Ten millions of people in this country, rejoice upon oats and potatoes," says Dr. Marsham, or in other words of our gracious Sovereign's speech two years ago, are suffering severe distress from the Corn Laws, and seventeen millions on the other side of the At- lantic, are suffering severe distress, according to the admission of their own President, because they can not sell the superabundance of food and provisions which fills to overflowing their granaries and these two nations, so admirably circumstanced for each other's benefit, are only separated by twelve or six- teen day's sail—yet there is nevertheless a law, which says, that no communication must take place be- tween them, for the relief of their mutual necessi- ties, because it would have the effect of diminishing the luxuries of such men as Dr. Marsham, who live in idleness, upon wealth which they have never cre- aterl, to denounce the ignorant impatience of taxa- tion" of the toil-worn millions The trade in iron, with the United States, has been annihilated by their new Tariff: this is well known in our county. Not a ton has been shipped from Liverpool, as we are informed, since it was passed. What may have been shipped from other ports, we do not know. Of what consequence is it then to us to learn by the Queen's Speech that affairs are doing well in China and India,—that Syria is better governed than it was, and that the Income Tax promises to be productive. There is plenty of wealth at the top of the pillar, but at the bottom it is based in clay. The thousands are rich, exceedingly rich, in England, but the mil- lions are wretched beyond description. The helpless class of her Majesty's subjects, com- prising the consumers, have nobody to represent their interests, as Lord John Russell truly said, whilst every monopoly, every vested interest, every skilled-labour mechanic, not liable to ihe competi- tion of machinery, have their organs, their friends, and their voices, We are informed that the opening of Parliament was an unusually dull affair, there were very few members in either house there was neither interest nor excitement of any kind and it was understood that there would be no amendment to the Address, proposed.

GRAND BALL tIN CELEBRATION Ot THE OPENING OF THE TOWN HALL. This vety interesting event, to which the public have for some time looked forward with pleasing anticipations, took plac on Tuesday evening last, and is admitted by all who partici- pated in its diversified pleasures, to have been by far the most delightful reunion that has ever been held in Newport. The noble room of the New Town-hall, the fine proportions of which are so generally admired, was appropriately and taste- fully fitted up for theoccasion the lighting by gas was extremely well managed by the Artist, and the bright and beautiful ap- pearance presented at full Ball, will long impart a charm to the memory of the beholders. The orchestra was fuil and efficieni the well trained Band of the 73rd Regiment, under its talenu fi leaùerJ performed Wallzes and Gallopes in fine style, and Mr. Pollock, with Mr. French Davis, led efIkient Quadrille per- formances. Shortly after nine o'clock, carriages began to set down com- pany, at the Town-hall, from the portico of which an awning extended to the extremity of the foot-path, and the entrance was illuminated by a large star of brilliant gas. Sir Charles Morgan, and a numerous company from Tiede- gar, were amcogut the earliest arrivals, aDd notwithstanding the tempestuous weather of the evening, which, doubtless, operated as a barrier to the attendance of several parties from a distance, before eleven i/clock upwaids of 160 ladies and gentiernei were assembled If Where weaved the dance, and shone the festive scene. Expressions of approval, indeed, of admiration, were heard in every quarter of the grandeur of the room, the completeness of the accommodations, and the appropriateness of the ai- rangements. Few of Ihe gentry of our neighbourhood were absent ou thi, memorable occasion and amongst the brilliant assembly, Joined in sweetest harmony to plca8e," were many to whom the palm of loveliness would be concede J even by the most fastidious of the sterner sex. And they who paused to gaze—few could forbear- Felt how the beams of beauty glad the heart," The dresses were, for the most part, exceedingly tasteful and elegant; healthful joy diffused its purest glow over faircoun- tenances, and the coup d'xit was a scene worthy the contem plation of a young Poet in his happiest hour of inspiration, He could not glance on beauty shining, And turu away without repining." Mr. Octavius Morgan, MP, and Mr. Blewitt, MP, were the appointed stewards, but the latter gentleman expressed his reo gret at being unable to attend, being called away on urgetu bu. siness. Mr Morgan, assisted by the Committee of Management, did the honours of the evening with his usual polite attention and the pleasures of the dance-quadrilles, waltzes, gullopades, and the native English country dances—were sustained with an ardour of spirit that well evinced how pleased were all those as- sembled, who would be innocently gay. Supper was announced at one o'clock. The large apartment intended for a Commercial Reading Room, was fitted up lor the occasion, and Mr. LloydJ of tha King's Head Hotel, pur- veyor of good things for the night, furnished the numerous tables wiih viands and delicacies of the best quality, and in great abundance, for which praise was deservedly awarded him. The entire company were assembled together a supper wito out the slightest inconvenience, and the ladies were attended to with gall,int assiduity; and after their return to the bill room, their healths were toasted in wines of the choicest vin- tage. The Stewards" called forth a speech, in exceedingly good taste, from Mr. Octavius Morgan. II Colouel Love and the Officers of the 73rd Regiment, who have become so popular amongst us," was a toast cheered to the echo, and elicited warm acknowledgements from Colonel VandermeuleD, in the absence of Colonel Love, who happened at the moment to be where love is a favourite—with the ladies. Prolonged years of health weie wished to Sir Charles Morgan, with enthusiasm.— The Commiitee of Management were honoured by a vote of thanks. Mr. Morgan, of Ruperra, and olher distinguished genilemen presen I were toasted. The pleasures of the dance were resumed after supper, and cOnlinuel1 wiih the fervour which bright eyes inspire, and buuy- ant hearts prompt, until past four o'clock and some gay spirits — who adopt the poet's advice-left not the" halls of dazzling lighi," for some time afler-indeed, until five o'clock it could not be fairly said:—"Oh! all is o'er! and all that goodly glee which, at Ihe ball, was gloiy of gay wits, is gone to sleep.' Whilst many of the highest rank of the county honoured the celebration of the opening of the Town Hall, we were pleased to see a considerable number of the respectable tradesmen of IVewport and their families, enjoying the happiness of the fes- live evening. We have set down a considerable number of names of those present, from memory, and without strict regard to the prece- deucy of rank, but hope for the indulgence of ihoss who may be accidentally omitted, disclaiming, as we do, the slightest intention of invidious distinction.

NEWPORT EXCHANGE AND READING ROOMS.— On Thursday last, the adjourned meeting of the gentlemen de- sirous of establishing A Commercial-roo^I in this town, took place at the New Council House, at W HICH the Mayor presided. 1 he Provisional Committee submitied A code of rules for the regulation of the institution, which gave very geneiul Eatis- ) ( faction, and elicited the lhanks of the meeting I and these rules were adopted, with one or two EXCEPTIONS) namely that of sub- stituting, on the amendment of Mr. DowHntf, a committee of 20 with the treasurer, 5 to form a quorum, for the originally proposed numbers of 12, and 3 for a ciuorum, CONSIDERABLE I discussion took PLACE ALSO, AS to V»H2THOR THE rcoits F-hould be < entirely closcd OU BUNDSY; AND I' was ultimately deteimined (the Mayor and two other gentlemen dissenting), tint the reading-ioom shouid be opened after divine service, until ,fill!] o'clock in the EVENING. THE thanks of the meeting were given to ihe Mayor, and the meeting stioilly after broke up.— E shall probably adveitise the rules, and give a list of the com- mittee of management in our next publication. On Monday last, Thomas Hughes. Esquire, of Kiny s Hill, who has recently been appointed TO her )\;¡}estf (..omntts»ton of the for this borough, qualified as a TNA* gistra.e, and took his sent on the bench accordingly. We are requested to state that the Mayor of Monmouth has kindly granted the use of the New Maiket-H»H. for a tea-party, which will he held there on Monday next, for the benefit of William Parry, carpenter, of that town- We are sorry to state that Mr. Pany'. who I £ ad old inhabitant of the place, UAS, from SCARCITY of employment, been Overtaken penury in h advanced yenrs. Any peisons kindly dis- posed, may alleviate Pariv'S present destitution by their pre- sence at the tea-party, or by handing donations 10 thePost- master on his behalf. On Monday last, Charles Jones was fully com* mitted for trial, by the Mayor of Monmouth, charged with stealing weaiing apparel from the house of Mrs, Adams, a cot- tager of the Buckholt, near that town. The prisoner was ap- prehended by Sergeant Euller, at St. Biiavels, on Sunday morn- ing, wailst attempting to escape from the back of a house, with no other clothes but his shirt on. The late Mrs. Howells. formerly of Monmouth, Kindly bequeated by her will the Dispensary of that town, and £20, to the Lying-iu Institution. On Wednesday weck, a poor woniatij named Elizabeth Hedge, whilst feeding a threshing machine, tt Whit- church, near Monmouth, with sheaves, AS they were wanted, got her clothes entangled, and received such severe injuries, as to cause her death on the following Friday. Monmouth Monthly Market was held all Wed- nesday IIut; the sales were too few and too dull for quotation. CWM CELYN BAND.—Carboniferous Iron-stone. — Vile are glad 10 hear that the Cym Celn Company participate in the SlICcess which IIKS attended their worthy and wealihv neighbours, in reference to the black band mineral, a rich and valuable lied of carboniferous iron-stone, or black-band, ilS it is geologically called, having been recently found at Cwrn Celyn We understand th is three levels are already being driven, and ihat every effort will be made to turn this mineral treasure to good account. As well-wishers to the party, from a distance and others, who have so spiritedly invested a iargecapital in the above Woiksof our County, we sincerely hope that this foitu- naie discovery may tend materially to advance and benefit ti. interests uf concerned. POKTNEWYNYDD IRON-WORKS.—A large and commodious room, fisted up for public worship, and N Sundav school, connnected with the Baptist denomination, in the neigh- bOilrhood of these Works, was opened on Monday last. the morning Messrs. Thomas Thomas, of the Baptist Theologi- cal Institution, and Thomas Kenvyn, I'alywaen, preached. IN the afternoon, Mr. Rpl's Rees, read the Scriptures, and prayed, and Messrs. D. L. Isaac, Trosiunt, and D. D. Evans, Pont- I Ihydyryn, preached; and in the evening, flir, J. Morris, stu- dent, commenced 'he service, and Messr. S, Price, Aberychan, and E. Evans, I'enygaro, preached. The collections towards defiaying the expense of fitting up, amounted to A Sun, day School has been commenced with very flattering prospects of usefulness, amidst the dense population of this neigh- bourhood. CYFAUTHFA.—William Crawshay, Esq., arrived here on SlIurday last. He has perambulated the works, but it is not known yet whether any new projects are to be carried into execution, or 'not. His two sons-in-law were with him through the works, it is aid, on Tuesday, If he will think of something hencfitiallo the works or workmen, he will most as- suredly put it in execution. A better master never existed with the exoepiioo of his sons. MONMOUTHSHIRE HOUNDS.—It has been ru- moured in the sporting circles of this county, that these hounds aie to be iven up after the present season, on account of a de, nciency in the" sinews of war," and we cannot be surpiiscd thal,the respected master should get tired of devoting a great portion ot his time in endeavouring to afford sport to his brother iox hunters, and at the same time HIVE to pay out of his own pocket la very large portion of the expences but we trust this act on.y requires to be known, to be removed, and we feel cori- dent that there are several liberal gentlemen connected wiih tne county who will come forward and assist; for we look upon a pack ot fox hounds as of great utility in a county, being ON Inducement to many gentlemen to reside upon their own es- lales; and as unfortunately have many absentees already, we cannot afford to run the risk of encreaMng the numbe-, which we certainly shall, if the fox hounds are given UP. Captain Stretton has succeeded by great exertions in getting together an efficient pack 01 hounds, and has had only twu blank days this season. VVe remember the ood old days when the respected squire of Llantillio kept the hounds at his own cost; and although Times and men are changed since then" we hope that the members of the Monmouthshire Hunt Cfu:> will, by a little exeition, prevent the Joss of the hounds, as it would be a pity that a club which has been the means of BRINGING many jjentlenieu of different shades of politics together, and in which lile spIrit of discoid has never been allowed to intrude itself, I should be broken up.—From a correspondent. The Monmouthshire Hounds will -meet Oil Monday, Feb. 6th Crowfield I hursday, Feb. 9th ..Monmouth Cay Inn Wednesday, 15th Lvston Saturday, 18th Rocktield At Halt-past Ten o'clock. MERTHYK.—It is our painful duty to state that several miners have been discharged fro?U DowUis and Ply- mouth Iron-works, within these last few days. Cheap as pro- visions are, in conipmisioa to what they have been, still, where can these unforiunj-E fellows get any for themselves and their families 1 INQUEST.—An inquest was held on Friday, the 27 IH instant, at the Ansel, Inn, Merthvr, before W. lJavl, Esq., coroner, on THIR body of Samuel Eidridge, aged 15 years, WHO nine to his death by falling into a coal-pit, at which he was employed, on the preceding Wednesday.

The int-rment of 11;(, RRUUING of lale lamented 1\1r.

A eiape rosette also on each gauntlett. The masters and officers of Ihe lodges also wore the official costume in a si- milar manner: Neither sash, apron, collar, or jewel 01 any other order was worn. The funeral arrangements were also conducted with due pageantry and solemn pro- pnety, and the enure ceremony was of the most impressive and appropriate character.

TURN-OUT OF COLLIERS. 1 On Wednesday, the 29th instant, the colliers employed in I he collieries of Mr. Prothero, of Mal.pas Couit, in this county, railed Gilvach and Blaucyfiiu, were taken I)efuie,Edwaid I i, Phillips, Esq., and the Rev.

Before they were taken into the Court room, Mr, Phillips went to them in the Waiiing-toota, fith the benevolent inten- tion of prevailing ori them 10 retut'n to their work; having ^rst tscertaiiied. from Mr. Prdihero that fie had no desire to p"? tscertaiiied. from Mr. Prdihero that he had no desire to PH) :eed against them, and that the agreements were very renencirl, j to tiiem. Mr. Phillips bavin? failed in his object, six men! 'mm the Gilvach colliery were placed ;V< the bar, wh'tn.tt was £ pioved that they had agreed to cut the coal in that cojiiery a; a certain price per yard, and not to leave the work without a month's notice, which they were also to receive before they were dismissed and that they left their work en the 24! li inst., I without notice, declaring they would not work any longer, until Mr. Prothero conceded to the terras demanded from him, by the colliers employed t>y him at some of his other collierics. Ori being questioned by the magistrates, they admitted 'zy were *ceivin £ fror^i eiguieen shillings to twenty shillings per week for tl.feir work, p'iid to them weekly, aiid tnat j they had vo complaint to make of fcny misconduct by | Mr. Prothero or by his agent. The magistrates, on hearing j 'hat admission, exhorted them to return to their woi'K, and j pointed out to them the lolly of their conduct as legaided them- selves, in quitting an employment which gave them such ample wages, at a time when iiundreds of men could obtain no woik, ?.nd w'ja would be happy to take the work they had quitted at much ibs3 rCmur'errtnoh and they also pointed out to them the great injustice they did ic tiic'r err-ployer, who stated that; e iers, wa the consequence to him of the preserir strifes "1 the colliers, was an actual toss ol twentv pounds per day, in dead rfints, horse- keep, and wages to clerks, and other persons, who were JJalO by lnm, though not at work. The men, however, obstinately r-jfus^d i* tetum to their woik, without having 3° aueiation made in the terms of Gristing agreement; and the magis- trates thereupon proceeded to cct-. them. Tbp. hrst^inan convicted, was a person named U:;rse, who cpper.red tlr leader, and who was sentenced to two months imprtsonri.es! with hard labour. Having sentenced him, the magistrates gave the others liie offer to return to iheir employment, which, after a like coasulcv.ton amongst themselves, they agteed to do. That case being disposed of, the Blmcyifin men to the nuia- her of fifteen weie placed at the fear! a .4 Mr Prothero's agent proved an agreement in writing, signed by eSch of them and twenty others, wheteby they agreed to employ^ themselves as tolliets hi Rlancyfthi colliery, for two years, from the 1st ol January last, at the «t*en of Is. 9d. per ten, for every tOil cf coal each man should cut, and firr every 6d. per ton in the advance of the price of coal at Newport,the? ^ere to receive ao additional penny per tin, but weie to be subject to na leduc- tio. if the price of coal at Newport should fall. It was therr proved that "n the 3rd of the mon'.h of January, they com- menced working, aud quitted cn the 7th, without any other reascn, than ihat they would ac' in co-yjert with the other j colliers in the ueighbouihood, who had left work Jo obtain j a certain rate of wages. Those men, like the men at the Gil- j vacli coliiery, admitted to the magistrates, they could get front 18s. to 20s. per weiOk, and that they had uo cause to complain of Mr. Prothero or his agent, by rthoifi they had always been paid their wages weekly in money, being restricted to no shop, in fact they were no way subject to the truck system. The magistrates separately addressed them, and exhorted them to fulfil their agreement, which would insure tbern higher wages than were generally obtained, tori he space of two years to come. They, however, though admitting they could ge! from IBs. to 20s, per week for a moderate day's work, declared they would not work, unless their employer would give them 3d. per ton more; and the magistraies were about to convict then;, when Mr. Piothero staled to them, that as they might be pers?ver;ng under the eironeous impression, that after they bad suffered such imprisonment as the magistrates might sen- tence them to, they would be absulved from any further per- formance of their agreement, he thought it right to warn them they were in error, and that they would be liab!e, after the expiration of their imprisonment, to perform their agreement f'r the period then unexpiied, and that he would require them then to fulfil it, and on their neglect or refusal, would insti- tute a fresh prosecution against them so that, it they did not determine to woik out their agreement, they must make up their minds to pass the greater portion of the term of it, in piisoo at hard labour. The magistrates again advised them to cousi der well their situation, and assured them if they would return to tht-ir wok, if at day time they should think they had ground for com plain t against their employer, they. the magistrates, would be at all times as ready to do them justice, and to attend to their complaint, as they had been to dispense it to their employer. The men _at length gave way, and the whole 35 agreed to return to their work, which they did on the following day. On Wednesday, the 1st instaut, 27 men, who left Mr..Pro- thero's Penvan colliery, in all respects under the same terms as the Blaenafon men, were taken before the magistrates oi the Bed welly division and the same course having been taken as the magistrates acting in the Pontypool division had laken, those men also agreed to return to iheir work and perform their agreement. Thus has the confederacy amongst the Monmouthshire col- liers, to obtain from their employers such wages as they pleased to exact, and for preventing any men from working at less than the prescribed rate, and which has been upheld for many years past, by a system of violence and terror, well known in Monmouthshiie, been partially, it is hoped entirely broken. Too much praise cannot be civen to the magistrates before named, for their patient conduct in hearing these cases, and for the pains they took to bring them to the desirable termi- nation in which they ended.

On Tuesday last, Mr. Oakle, clerk to Mr. Powell of the Gaor, applIed to the magistrates for r'dress against several of Mr. Powell's men, who had, as he alleg(;d, illegally left tIle work on which they had been employed. The following depositions were taken on the occasion, and the magistrates ordered a foifeiture of their wages Mr. John Phillips, swain and examined by Mr. Davies: am an agent to Mr. Thomas Powell and Mrs. Vaughan Win.

'The men afterwards returned to their work.—By Mr. Stacey i hinks they returned to their woik on the 29th of December, and worked until the 9th of Januaiy. It is partly my duty to make myself acquainted with the terms on which the men were to work. I saw an agreement oa which the men returned to their vork.-By Mr. Lewis: Were not paid for any woik in January. Mr. Henry Oakley, sworn and examined It was the men's wish that a'month's notice should be given; Taylor in par- ticular, and Mr. Powell agreed to it. Mr. (Sevan, examined: He told the men that it was his im- pression that the men would be discharged without a month's notice. Mr. Oakley, re-examined by Mr. Williams Was not in the room all the ti: -e when the iiiei., were with Mr. Powell the men wished particularly to have a month's notice, to w'hicn Mr. Powell consented does not recollect thai he made any observation in the agieement.

IIEMAKKAULE Phe.VOAIEM.— We pubJihfd last week the observations made at itie Royal S'city, showing the exlraordi Inary depression of the barome'er during the gale of Friday tlie 13th. A correspondent has obligingly forwarded us a copy of Ihe Beltm,! Wk>g,from which it appears ihat ibe like, and olher remaikable phenomena, were observed in that town. Tuursday last, the evening tide, according to our almanack" 1 took place al il.uty-eight minutes past seven o'clock, which was very correct but the lide, which was st its height at that hocr, remained so without change nil nalf-pa*t nine o'clock.

A like depression took plan; at Manchester. A! 11 o clock on Friday a.m., it was al

THE IGKOUANT FARMERS,—The public have lately been fa. vouied with tours through agriculural disiiicts, for the purpose of displaying the ignorance of farmers in their profession but these narratives hive more frequently displayed the ignorance of the tourist. The difference between a well and ill-cullivaied farm is generally to be imputed, not to a want of knowledge, hut to a want of capital, or 10 the wan' of security for the em. ployment of capital. Agricultural information is pretty equally diffused amongst ihose engaged io husbandry, aud it is not a pursuit requiring more intellect than is usually bestowed upon man. They who accuse the farmers of ubsrioare adherence to error, or repugnance to impiovement, are unobservant of what i. passing around them—th^y cannot be acquainted with ibe mag- r nificent establishments of acnculiural implements of various kinds, in different parts of The kingdom, which cannot be sup- ported without purclipsers-tliey (dut)ol have been at the an. nuitl meetin-; of the Koval Agricultural Society, where acres of tMouml are furnished with macbineiy of the most cosily kind— nor can ihey have even visued Ihe B»zaar at Christmas, where me most splendid specimens of animal* and vegetables are ex- hibited, aod wbeie thousands of cccunk-rs of land, film all art of the kingdom are assembled to view them, and still a. .,use the frmera of the absence oi a desire fat improvt!nent., T.
