The funeral of the unfortunate Valentine Daniel, whose melancholy death from being thrown from a horse, we last week reported, was attended on Sunday afternoon last by a vast concourse of people, chiefly the younger portion of both sexes, about twenty couple of whom, dressed in mourning ap- parel, walked in procession after the corpse. The body of the deceased was interred in the churchyard of St. Woollos, and the many hundreds who attended on the mournful occasion, seemed impiessed deeply with the awful uncertainty of human life. MELANCHOLY DEATH BY DROWNING.—On the evening of Sunday last, an unfortunate Frenchman was sud- denly deprived of life by drowning in our river. The name of the deceased was Monsieur Charles Lemaire, and he pro- fessed himself a teacher of the French language and of the art of fencing, having, as his printed circulars set forth, been an old soldier in the foot artillery of France. For some time pre- vious to his coming to this place, about four or five months since, he resided at Abergavenny, from whence he made perio- dical visits to surrounding towns to attend to his classes. Ill- fate at length directed him to this town, where he unsuccess- fully attempted to obtain a French class in the Mechanics' In- stitute. Though he bore with him testimonials of the highest order, the stranger failed in everything he undertook in his pro. fession and driven at length by necessity, he applied to French captains who came to this port, to be allowed to act as interpre- ter in their business with the merchants of the town. He suc- ceeded but badly even in this attempt-he took obscure lodg. ings—his personal appearance gradually became that of an un- successful, broken-down, needy stranger and those who had heretofore been pleased with the martial bearing and happy look of the "old soldier," were now startled by his changed appearance. Following the avocation to which we have al. luded, that of interpreter, he was last Saturday on board the French lugger Cesarine. of Brest, and throughout the day drank three" glllsses of brandy with the the captain, Matthew thew Lalla. He also, in the evening, drank at a public-heuse in the town, with the captain, one pint of beer, and returning to the lugger's side, they parted at about nine o'clock. He was afterwards seen about eleven o'clock proceeding by the Canal side, towards where the Cesarine lay, at the British Iron Com- pany's Wharf, and next morning he was found lying a corpse on the mud. He had gone on the British Wharf, it was con- jectured, for the purpose of hailing the lugger, but perhaps de- ceived by the gas lamps on the river side, he had fallen over tbe quay wall, and thus had met his untimely end. He was picked up next morning, and convtyed to the Ship and Castle, Inn, where, being searched by the serjeant of police, £ 5 5s., and 3Jd. was found in his pocket, which sum was the re- mainder of the sum of eleven pounds, for which be had sold his horse, when his circumstances began to alter. An inquest was held on his body before William Brewer, Esq., and a respectable jury, at the above inn, on Monday evening, when a verdict of" Found drowned," was returned. On the follow- ing day the remains of the ill-fated Frenchman were conveyed to the grave, the French flag being thrown over his coffin, and the captain of the Cesarine, with five of his crew, following be- hind, as the only mourners over the untimely fate of their hapless countryman. SUICIDE IN THE UNION-HOUSE.—An event of a shocking nature occurred this week at our Union-House. A female named Julia Allen, of somewhat prepossing appear- ance, and aged about 23, was received into the Newport Union House on the 3rd of December, 1842. She belonged to the Baptist society, and was the daughter of a respectable man of the name of Allen, who is an agent, &c., residing in Commer- cial-street. Her father had married a second wife, and family matters rendering the stay of the daughter at home unpleasant, the Rev. D. R. Stephen, pastor of the Baptist chapel, who is a Guardian of this Union, procured an entrance for her into the Union-House, where, through his intercession with the kindly governor, she was engaged as an assistant in light household 'iuties, which she performed with alacrity and cheerfulness.— She occasionally exhibited an intractable and irritable dtsposi- Hon when opposed but her conduct in general was good. On the 10th of June last she obtained leave from the board to visit her friends but on that occasion, she stayed out some houts beyond the proper time; and on subsequent enquiry, it was found that she had visited a house of ill-repute in Cross-street It was also ascertained that she at times visited the gardens of Floriday, at which place it was conjectured she met a young man to whom she was attached. Before she came irito the house. Dr. Brewer had attended her for an unsound itate of mind, and since she had become an inmate, her spirits had frequently been dejected, her health at intervals affected, and her intellects at periods very weak. She had once or twice spoken of having made her peace with God, and said she should put a period to her existence and on another occasion she informed a female pauper in the house, that if she needed anything to procure aboition, she (the deceased) would give her some powders. On Monday and Tuesday last she had leave to visit her friends for two days. On Tuesday evening—supposed to be reluming from Floriday's gardens—she called at the shop of Mrs. Jones in High.street, were she had frequently been before and as she wore her own clothes when allowed to visit her friends, Mrs. Jones did not know her to be an inmate of the Union- House. She here purchased two pennyworths of the essential oil of almonds-which contains prussic acid, and is the most deadly poison-alleging that it was for her mistiess, a lady in the neighbourhood of Newport, who required it for scenting hair oil. Possessed of this deadly drug, she proceeded to the shop of Mr. Phillips, druggist, to whom she exhibited it, and wished to know if it were poison and framing a lie for the I purpose, observed that she enquired because her i>ttie bro- ther had been playing with it, and her moiher feared the child had drunk some. Mr. Phillips informed her of the na- ture and powers of the oil, and at once desired h> r to carry home a strong emetic. This she refused to do, trying she would first see her mother, and then left the shop. She then went to the Union House, and was admitted soon after seven o'clock, in high spirits. She was searched when she entered, but nothing of a suspicious nature was found upon her. She brought in two cucumbers, some gooseberries, and en rants, a I portion of which she earnestly pressed the governor t" take.— During Wednesday morning she was cheerful and in strious. About twelve o'clock the nurse in the sick ward obse^ed her apart by the window eating gruel, and almost immediah v after heard her cry out as if in agony. She was taken exiret!ly ill, and trembled violently. 00 being laid upon the bed, she grew worse; and the governor, being sent for, came immediately into the sick ward. He smelt the oil, and knowing its deadly qualities, at once rightly conjectured she had taken poison.— Indeed, her appearance at this moment confitmed his suspicions —her eyeballs were fearfully swollen-her face was empurpled, and her limbs quivered excessively. Surgical assistance was ai once procured, but too late for as Mr. Wm. Brewer, jun., pre- ceding Mr. James Hawkins by a few minutes, entered the room, le heard her last convulsive gasp. A post mortem examination of the body was made on Thursday evening, by Messrs. William Brewer, junior, and James Hawkins, when the presence of poison was proved and at the same time an inquest was held on the body before W. Brewer, Esq, coroner and a reapectable jury, when the substance of the facts related above was given hy the witnesses, and a verdict found that—"The deceased destroyed herself by poison in a fit of insanity." Julia Allen, who has thus rushed unbidden into the presence of her Judge, was a person of superior education for her grade of life. Some manuscripts, found in her box, indicated an imaginative mind. an exceedingly retentive memory, and some poetical taste. A pre-determination to destroy herself had no doubt for a long tirpe existed, and circumstances affecting her reputation which had transpired, seemed to make death appear to her a de. sirable thing. The following letter was found immediately after her death :—' You need not ba surprised—the scandal has borne heavily on me, together with many other things that have been said since I have been here—all of which I die with a clear conscience, to appear before God. May the Almighty have mercy on my toul." In a pocket-book were fouod several manuscripi poems, chiefly on blighted affections and wasted happiness, while one, among other pieces on death, was entitled The Pauper's Death-bed," commencing thus:— Tread softly bow the head, In reverent silence bow No paping bell doth toll- Yet an immortal soul Is passinf now!" These, together with copious notes of, and commentaries upon, a large number of aermons she had heard from the Revds. Messrs. Stephen, Thomas, Evans, &c., were written in a neat and graceful handwriting by the deceased and were found, with a quantity of powders and pills, among her effects. FATAL ACCIDENT.—ON Tuesday last, as a party in a carriage, going to Ragland were descending the Star Pitch, near Dansoy, the drag broke when the carnage was urged forward with great velocity, and the lea tog oises fe down on their sides. The postillion, Benjamin Wixcey, fell under them, and before he could be extricated his peril- ous situation, the unfortunate man was so dreadfully crushed and otherwise injured, that he almost immediately expired. The party proceeded on their way to Ragland with the wheel pair of horses. At a reoent meeting of the Guardians at the New- port Union, an honest Hibernian from the Cove of Cork, made his bow to their hanners," on a subject that be tuk might- ily to heart." The applicant was a weather-beaten but hearty- looking seaman, who had lost both his legs on one of the wooden walls of old England, and stumped in on two limber substitutes. It appeared that the jolly tar's brother had died some time ago in the parish of Mynydduslwyn, leaving four children totally helpless and unfriended. They were taken into the Union, and the tiod-hearted uncle now offered 10 take two of the II child. her" off their hands. "Pray, my honest man," said one of the Guardians, "what means have you of providing ror these little ones, if we entrust them to you ?" Manes 1 oh, plenty, your banners I Haven't I an acre of potatoes, and an illigant fishing boat 1 I'll keep them clean and dacent, and if I've luck, an' the fish is plentiful, I'll take the other babbies to my home too. Ask any one of the Cork captains about me- they all know Maurice O'Hearne." After due enquiry, the Guardians, we understand, allowed the honest old sailor to take home to his cottage at Cove an instalment of the childhei." How pleasing it is to find such traits of character, such amiable principles, among those whom we suppose poverty and oppres- sion had rendered sour and unsociable. A singular being has been traversing the pre- cincts of our town during the past week. He was a man about 35 years of age, greatly sunburnt, possessing a dark brilliant eve but exhibtiiug no particular expression, and wearing large He wore a white hat, light eoat, white trowseis, and cairied a large block ornamented slick. This singular man would stand before a house for a few momeois i, »ith his eves on the earth, and then suddenly lift hisSeves bow gracefully towards the house, and commence and his eyes, Do g ..j Qg j„ dancing, in a very graceful go through sundry.^S"elf by whistl.ng in a soft, clear, manner, accomp J' ggionaj outbursts of melody of which was and full tone,.the dancing and whislling thus for a surpassingly beautiful. After absUac,e(1| ,ooked lew minutes, he .uddenly cease around. Some gave bim lhe donors to drop their self to touch the money, allow g bounty into his coat pocket, wh CD g( e purpose and throughout the wlioie o ing., he spoke not word, and appeared dumb. Again very gracefully bowing towards the house, heaving sighs, and ap- pearing to wipe tears from his eyes, at the same ime i g is hands up in a mournful manner, the strange eiog p sse on to some other house. Bets and conjectures are rife about him but we suppose him to be an unfortunate lunatic. By orders recently issued by the Lords Commis- sioners of her Majesty'.

The dinner is to be provided by Mr. Hallen.

F., Abergavenny district, celebrated their thirteenth anniversary at the house of host P.G. J. Wells on Monday the 17th ult, upon which oc- casion about one hundred and fifty of the fraternity walked in procession to the Primitive Methodist chapel, Abersychan, at which place excellent sermons were preached to them by Bro- ther J. Mole in English, and the Rev. T. Kenvyn in Welsh. They then returned to their commodious and elegant lodge. room, which was most tastefully decorated for the occasion with flowers and evergreens, where they partook of a good and sub- stantial dinner, provided for them bv the host and hostess, and general satisfaction pervaded the company. The amount paid for the sick broihers from the funds of this lodge, during the last year, was £224 6s. This affords a pleasing instance of the use fulness of the society. At a parish meeting held at Monmouth last Thursday, a church rate of fourpence in the pound was granted for the ensuing year. On Thursday last, a son of Mr. Taylor, of the Bute Arms, in Cardiff, accidenily fell into the Bute Canal, and was unfortunately drowned. A man working in the gas-yard also met with a similar misfortune and loss of life. The annual meeting of the Odd Fellows took place on the Ist instant at Cardiff. There was a strong muster of the fraternity, and the day passed off well. LANDEVAUD CHAPEL.-This neat little edifice si- tuated in a pretty sequestered spot, near Penhow, in this county, and lately rebuilt by voluntary subscription, was, on Wednesday last, opened for divine service by the Lord Bishop of the Diocese, when, notwithstanding that the morning was very wet and unfavourable, there was a full attendance of the clergy and gentry, and poor of the neighbourhood, and of many from a considerable distance, who were anxious to be present on this interesting occasion. The service commenced at e even o'clock, and the prayers were read with great solemnity bv the Rev. Robert J. Smith, Rector of Penhow, who has been ap- pointed to the curacy, and by whose exertion, aided by the Misses Phelps, of Caerlickeo, Sir Digby Mackworth, and others, the desired restoration of this long dilapidated and deserted house of prayer has been effected. The sermon was preached by tge Bishop himself, who took for his text John 4, 24, God is a spirit, and they that worship him must worship him in spi rit and in truth." After lamenting the great diversity of opi- nions, and of modes of worship, now prevailing, and the too great importance attached by some to forms and ceremonies, to the neglect of the true spirit of gospel worship, and exhorting all present to unity and simplicity in worshipping God in tpint and in truth, his Lordship concluded a very able and learned discourse with a forcible appeal in behalf of a school about to be erected in the parish for the education of the children of the poor whfch was liberally responded to by a collection at the church door of upwards of £14. At the evening service at six o'clock, an eloquent and most impressive sermon was preached to a numerous and attentive congregation by the Rev. Evan Jenkins, of Dowlais, Glamorganshire, from 1st Cor. chap, 1, v. 21. "It pleased God, by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe." The effective manner in which the Newport choir of singers chaunted parts of the service, the «• Venite, Jubilate," &c., and sang the psalms and hymns selected for the occasion, gave great satisfaction, and was de. serving the highest praise. Amongst those present were Sir Digby and Lady Mackworth, the Misses Copleston, nieces to ihe Bishop, Mrs. Illyd Niclioll, the Rev. E. F. Lewis, the Rev. Thomas Pope, the Rev.J. B. Davies, the Rev. Hugh Williams, the Rev. Daniel Jones, the Rev. David Jones, iPanteague.) the Rev. W. Powell, the Rev. Divid Jones, (Undy,) the Rev. Kenyor Homfray, the Rev J. P. Shepard, lie Rev. S W Gardener, the Rev. J Yorath, the Rev. W P Lewis, the Rev. E Jenkins, the Rev. T Williams, the Rev. if T Harris, J S Barber, Esq., J H Langdon, Esq., Mr. M Kvans, &c. &c. BIBLE MEETINGS.— Messrs. Davies, classical tulor of Brecon College, and Phillips, of Hay, visited Mer hyr and its vicinity on behalf of the British and Foreign Bible So- ciety, the latter part of last week. They commenced at Dow- 1 a is on Wednesday evening, by delivering two sermons respect- ing the Holy Scriptures, at Bethania Chapel, which was lite- rally crammed by persons from all sects and parties residing in that place. On Thursday evening a public meeting was held at Pontmorlais Chapel, Merthyr, which was not so fully at tended as the former. The Rev. Thomas Harries, assistant cu- rate, occupied the chair, and spoke on the objects of the meet- ing, as did also the deputation, Mr. Owen, of Zoar Chapel, and Mr. Watkins, the grocer. On Friday evening, the depu- tation visited Coed yCymmer, the celebrated place for races, cock-fighting, &c. Here all religious denominations forgot their peculiar tenets, and met under the same roof, for the same object. It appears that this branch liolds quarterly meetings among themselves by rotation st the different chapels, and that £ 5 is the amount of congregational collections to the Parent Society, during the past year. The operations the British and Foreign Society were fully entered into by the deputation, and addresses were also delivered by Mr. Walter Williams, and again by Mr. Watkins, to a large but not a crowded audience. -( From a Correspondent,) FRIENDS' MEETINGS FOR W ORSHIP.-Since our last Mrs. Backhouse spoke very powerfully at the Calvinistic Methodist Chapel, at Coed.y-Cymmer, on Thursday evening. and on Friday evening at Zion Baptist Chapel, in both cases to very crowded audiences. She was accompanied by her daughter and J. T. Price, Esq., as on former occasions. The Merthyrites seem fond of hearing the lady. It seems she is a sister to the philanthropic Joseph John Gurney, Esq. DOWLAIS.—Saturday the 29th ultimo being t e tenth anniversary of Sir John and Lady Charlotte Guest's mar¡ riage, the children of Dowlais Free School, to lhe number of five hundred, were plentifully supplied with tea and cake at the new pattern shop, Ivor's Works, in that place. They were a dressed by Sir John and Lady Charlotte on the advantages o education, &c, who were loudly cheered at the conclusion o their addresses. In compliment to the assiduity and zeal o Mr Thomas Jenkins, the efficient and talented teacher, net- ladyship called for a hearty cheer for him, which being mos enthusiastically responded to, Mr Jenkins duly acknowledged the compliment. In the evening the agents and their families, to renumber, with others, of one hundred, were kindly enter- tained at Dowlais House, in commemoration of the same happy event. We must not omit mentibnina, also, that the wonhy Baronet benevolently sent tliirty-fle pounds to the poor of tre various Dissenting chapels in the lace, which must have been highly acceptable at such a time, when workmen's wages are so very low, and flour is advancing in price. PLYMOUTH IRON WORKS.—Ever anxious to ame- liorate the condition of his workmen, Anthony HiH, Esq- has got flour for them at the late of forty-two shillings and sixpence a sack, whereas the same costs at the shops fifiv-two shtlliig9 and sixpence per sack. Were the Merthyr iron in the United Stales and the Ame.ican flour at Menhy}, ,t is conjectured the inhabitants of both henmphers would be much benefitted. STAGNATION OF TRADE.—A FACT FOR SIR Ro- bert.- We much regret to observe the stillness which cheerlessly prevails over our iron wharfs, where seventy five thousand tons of iron now remain for buyers. ROWLAND'S MACASSOR OIL—There cannot he a more just criterion of Ihe excellence of any artirlP than the attempt to mutate it. The very idea of a counter,iTt is^a Soud testimony to the great utility and value of the Original The universally high repute of ROWLAND'S MACASSAR Oir has in- duced some unprincipled Shopkeepers to try to impose uoon the public a spurious imitation for ihe genuine; and who to in- crease the deception, have cop.ecI the Labels and Bottle's of the Original Aiticle—for which fraud the said parties have lately been punished in a Court of Law. The principle on which ROWLAND'S MACASSAR OIL (the Original and. only Genuine) is prepared, is confined solely to the knowledge and practice of A. ROWLAND and SON, 20, Hatton Garden, London, who are still at an immense expence in completing its preparation. Anv Salcinbanco may pretend purely to give an analization'of its ingredients; but the fact is, the amalgamation of this purely vegetable compound neutralizes all attempts to seperate its com- ponent parts therefore such a declaration only brings disgrace and contempt on any wretched pretender. ROWLAND'S MA- CASSAR OIL is a compound of the most costly materials, has stood the test for neaxly fifty years, is patronised by the Royal Family of England, the whole etite of the aristociacy and haut ton," as well as the several Courts of Europe' while the thousands of testimonials in its favour, and the general use of it in all countries, sufficiently confirm its value as a nourisher, preset ver, and beautijier of the Human Hair

WHO ARE THE CONSPIRATORS?
WHO ARE THE CONSPIRATORS? According to the Times there is a strong suspicion that somt fnen of rank are at the bottom of the Rebecca riots. Who art they? is the general question. To answer the enquiry, and to detect one of the culprits, we have enly to refer back to events of great notoriety. Who was it who commenced the resistance to turnpikes 1 W ho set the example of war with the gates? Who was the first to set the toll-laker at defiance ? The distinguished mem- ber of Sir Robert Peel's cabinet—the illustrious statesman-Sil Edward Knatchbull. At the time he made a stand against the gate, we hailed him as a second Hampden but little did wt imagine that a rebellion would follow in the train of his exam- ple. As in the case of Hampden, the judges decided agains; him but the question was otherwise settled by a people ulti- mately driven to arms for the assertion of their rights. The resemblance to Hnmpden fails in the open part taken in the held, but still strong a^e the traces of identity between the first great mover of the war with gates and the actors in th»- Welsh insurrection. If there has been a leader in petticoats in Carmarthen, has there not been an undoubted old woman in the cabinet? But there is stronger evidence of identity. In the last riot, some of the leaders, says the report, had their coats turned inside out, a circumstance which almost exclu- sively directs suspicion against the Kentish baronet, who has so lately turned his coat on the corn-law question.
FASHIONS FOR AUGUST.
FASHIONS FOR AUGUST. The Clementine check or carreau is a novelty which add addi tional elegance to the plaids. Taffetas d'ltalie are much ÍlJ fushion and vary in their patterns the prettiest are checked green and Parma violet, or violet and orange, a mixture much in favour this season in every article of dress. For evening dresses the robes opale cameieon, arc enciel, are decidedly tin most elegant and suitable; the names aie derived from the effect produced by a skirt of blue muslin arachnee, embroidered in white, worn over another skiit of pink gauze, which gives tints above implied. This style is not only used for dresses, but mantiiles, Castellanes, mantelets a. la vieille, and echarpes pompadour, are similarly made, and whether trimmed with plaiting of gauze ribbon, tulle festonne.or lace, form elegant fantaisies of the season. Dresses of a more simple description are of poile de chevre or bareges des Aldudes, ornamented with deep flounces or wide biais in a wave satin stripes on ecru kiounds are the most admired. A new style of make for dresses of cameleon, or opal silk. is with both body and skiit open, and laced with braid in the Tyrolien style; the open sides of both body and skirt are edged with a boullon k la vieille; the sleeves are & la Medicis. Peignoirs of embroidered jaconas, trimmed with ruches fes- tonnes, or of India muslins, with inlets 01 Valenciennes lace, edged with Vatenciennes, or organdys, with almost impetcep- tible stripes of pink, blue, or lilac, tied with noeuds of sarcenet nbbon, are all to seen when the weather permits. For travell- ing dresses, or country wear, coutil is in favour, trimmed with several rows of narrow velvet of the colour of the dress- The capricious changes of tlfe weather render the pardessus most useful; they are usually made of silk materials, with wide biais, or guipuie of gimp the more elegant are of muslin, hnedwithpaitieor lilac silk, trimmed with lace; they have half sleeves, and are confined round the waist by a ribbon cein- ture. White mantelets are trimmed with lace and lined with coloured crape, which still preserves their transparency. White is much in lavour thij season for bonnets, and feuillage is a favourite ornament; a bonnet of paille de riz, with shaded green and white ribbon and bunch of mignonette, is very pretty, shaded rosettes or choux are also used, imitating the rose, formed of ribbon, from the palest tint of pink to the China rose. Crape, lace, tulle illusion, paille de riz, sewed Leghorns, and fancy straws, are all fashionable. Flowers and feathers are 01 every variety, but flowers of marabout, with teavesof shaded velvet, panaches zephir, and plumets russes, are the favourite ornaments^The round capsaia paysanne, k la Babet, a la Bretonne, are frequently trimmed with dark ribbons deep blue or cerise shaded.—London and Paris Ladies' Magazine of Fashion.

INCENDIARY FIRE.-On Monday night an outbuilding belonging to R. Fisher, Esq. of Field's Place, Madley, in this county, was discovered to be in flarues, which, there is no doubt, were occasioned by an incendiary. A mes- senger was immediately dispatched to Mr. George Adams, who about two o'clock proceeded from Hereford with one of the fire-engines, and was promptly at the spot. In the mean time the neighbours used every effort tojsurpress the fire, and by the exertions of all present the mansion was saved from destrurtion, part of an outbuilding com- municating with that in flames, being taken down. The conflagration was at length subdued, and the damage we hear, is not very considerable. Some poultry were burned to death.—This makes the seventh fire that has occurred in that neighbourhood within a few months. It is much to be hoped that the malicious perpetrator, or gang of perpetrators, may be discovered.- Hereford Journal. .fo STATE OF THE IRON AND COAL TRADE.-We are sorry to learn that the iron and coal trade in Scotland never was so bad as it is at present, and no prospect of a change for the better. The prices are reported as not only to be without profit, but altogether ruinous to the masters. We learned to-day from a valued correspondent, that half of the furnaces in Lanarkshire will very soon be thrown out of blast, and that one of the firms making malleable iron have given their men in that line their warning to quit, without even proposing a reduction of wages. The same is taking place in the collieries in different parts of the country.- Glasgow Saturday Post. EXPLOSION AT THE BALLINCOLLIG POWDER MILLS. — We have just heard that an explosion took place at one o'clock this day at these mills, and have dispatched a re- porter to the spot to ascertain the particulars.— Cork Reporter of Saturday.

Tulk and Ley, called the Lowca, burthen per register, 137 tons, O.Nl., and 131 N.M., intended for the foreign trade, This is the first iron vessel built on the Cumberland coast, and does great credit to the spirited builders. For beauty of model, strength of workman- ship, and neatness, she stands unrivalled, and promises to be a first rate sailer.

NEWPORT TOWN HALL.—MONDAY, JULY 31. Befort the Mayor, and T. Hxwkim and Thomas Hughes, Esqrs. THE BARBER IN SEARCH OF A WIFE. Martha Thoroton a showily dressed and somewhat interest- ing female, bedizened about the face with flowers; lace, and smiles, was placed at the bar this morning, charged with stealing £20, the property of her husband, James Thornton, a fashionable hairdresser, from the borough of Manchester. James Thornton sworn, said 1 am a hairdresser, and re- side in Bengal-street, Manchester. Martha Thornton, my wife, the prisoner, stole my money and clothes. The magistrates here required proof that the prisoner was his wife. Prosecutor said he was marked to prisoner at the Old Chuich Manchester. [Prosecutor was about to show adulte- rous proceedings on the part of his wife, the prisoner, who had, he said, another husband beside himself, when he was inter- rupted by the Bench.] Prisoner On the 10th of June, my wife absconded from my house with £20 and a large quantity of my clothing. This was during my absence. She also took about ten shillings in silver, brooches, spy.glass, clothing, table-clothes, diaper towels, bed-quilt, petticoat, stockings, and dresses. Prisoner What'sort of a spy-glass was it 1 Mayor Do be quiet, my good woman, and you shall say as much as you wish when called upon tor your statement. Prosecutor I discovered the loss of my propeity, about an hour after the loss of my wife, in the afternoon of Saturday the 1 Oih of June. (Laughter.) Prisoner Was you not at home when I left the house, Mr. Thornton Mayor: Will you be quiet, ma'am? You shall say what you like by and bye. Prosecutor Immediately on discovering my loss, I gave in- formation to the police, but she was not seen till Tuesday last. She then sent a letter to her sister In her former husband's name, with the Bristol post maik on it, and I being at the tin e at her sistei's house, apprehended" the letter. The postman had informed me he'had delivered letters to her sister frequently from Bristol. I have not the lelter with me. Prisoner, in a siuttering vOice: Yes, gentlemen, he has il with him. Search his pockets, and you will find it ( Laughter.) Prosecutor then handed a letter to 'he mayistraies. Prisoner Let me heai that letter read, if you please sirs. Mayor: It is directed to Peter Linch, Great Botton Works, Bristol. Do you know anything of it? Prisoner: 1 know nothing of that address or letter, sir. Mr. Woollett to prosecutor: Was there anything inside the letter 1 Prosecutor: There was, sir, Peter Linch gave me the lelte., but kept the marriage lines, or certificate of our marriage, which it contained. In consequence of informallon, 1 made inquiries, and found that she was living with a man in Bristol, as his wife. I followed them, pursued them from place to place, and found her here with the man with whom she ran away. She has been in Ireland, and I followed thither, to Belfast, from which place 1 went into various o her parts, but could not find her, and I came back again. On Tuesday last I heard where she was, and tracked her here. She is the wife of another man besides myself, called Richard Bowsman, whom she married io 1829 or 1830. She took a house in Bristol with the man she ran away with. I enquired it out, and found that she flitted" from that house, leaving some portion of the goods there with the man, and laking some away herself. The goods had been taken on board the Ayr, a packet then running to Newport for the Glamorgan boat. I heard she had said she was married to the man with whom she lived twelve months, and I found that she and him were enjoying themselves every night, in Bristol, with a fiddle. (Laughter.) I came here, and on Friday morn- ing I traced the parties out with Mr. Superintendent Hopkins, to have lodged in the town but we found that th. y had taken (he" buss for Cardiff. She had passed as the man's wife in the lodgings in this town. 1 found them and the properly at a public-house in Cardiff, where they were apprehended. I dis- covered abou' eight days before she absconded from me Richard Bowsman, her first husband, that he was married to her for some years. He asked me, when he first came in, for his pro- perty, so I stared, and wondered what he meant. (Laughter). But he afterwards showed me his marriage lines with her, and then I found it proved and no joke. She was married to me in her maiden name of Glassy, her sister being a witness. Bows- man asked me for his wife, and I said she was mine, and he said she was his, but he didn't think it worth while to call for his property before. I found out that she paid him all along out of my money, to keep him from troubling me. The prisoner here laughed immoderately, in which the audi tors joined. prosecutor I understand that her first husband found out some thiogs concerning her which wern't very prudent oi proper; and she cut him just after he found out his mistake. (Laughter.) We came to no arrangement, him and 1. I asked my wife afterwards about it, and she said What odds is it to you V In about eight days afterwards she CUI away from me too. After she ran off, her first husband came to me on the Friday following, to know where his and my wife was gone, as he wanted his property. I supposed he WRS a party privy to her absconding, but I never saw him after that Friday. lIe told me to apprehend her if I could and he would then come forward against her. Mr. Hawkins It appears she is your wife? Prosecutor: Yes, she is my wife—she passed for it. Mr. Hawkins: The magistrates will back the warrant, and you may take the woman back to Manchester, where you can charge her with bigamy. Being your wife, you cannot charge her with felony but we shall back the warrant, and you may convey her back to Manchester, where, as I said before, you may take the due course of law. You took her fur bettet and for worse," and she is your wife. Mr. MuHock I think you will find her all worse." Mayor We wish you to understand that your husband has a perlect right to take you back 10 J\1anchester. As far as we can judge, your conduct has been very improper, indeed, cri minal. From your conduct in Couit, we tnink that if you have not lost your senses, you have at least lost your sense of deco- rum and common decency. Your levity is quite unwarrantable under the serious chaige brought against you. You w II go back as the prisoner of the maD you call your husband, when be will have the power, if he please, to charge you with bigamy. THE BARBER'S RIVAL. The gay Lothario, John Williams, who had been so polite a knight errant, as to rid tbe barber of Ills" rib," was now placed at the bar, charged with having possession of part of the pro- perty siolen by the faithless spouse of the little hairdresser. The false wife looked with a great deal of afftciing and kind regard towards her paramour Williams, at the bar while she cast glances of the most ineffable contempt upon her diminutive shaver in the witness box. The prisoner looked as if some other dresser of hair than the man he had deprived of a wife, had cropped" his locks, and stood up before the Bench with an air rathei tread millish. He said he was born at Chepstow, but at ten months old he h"d been taken to Bristol, where he worked till almost the present time. He had been at work a short time in Newport. Prosecutor was here asked the birth ¡¡llIce of the wife he had lost, and stated that she was of Irish exiraciion on her mother side, and lived in Ireland, bu her father, who was a soldier being stationed in Jersey, they all lesided ihere lor some time Irom which place, at length ihe mother of his wife deset ed her husband, the man of blood," lfed back to Ireland, not, there married one of her country, with whom she lives al pre- sent. "And so, sirs," added the prosecutor in a strong Lish accent, and so, sirs, ye see it rins in the blood on 'em (Laughter.) The prosecutor, James Thornton, being sworn, said he knew the prisoner now. He saw him for the filSI lIme In Bristol, at Ills mother's house, at 55, Bioad Mead, lasi Weduesday and Thursday. The prosecuior went on to state that he had found part of his properly on the person of the prisoner. He had not seen her take the goods away from his house. He found a flannel shirt, belonging to himself, on the ptisoner's back. Prisoner The flannel shirt is mine, and my mother gave it me, Prosecutor said be could swear to the shirt by the selvedge. It had been often washed. Mr. Hawkins Why, is it not likely any shirt might have a similar selvage ? Besides, this shirt has never been washed. Prosecutor: I'll swear the shirt is mine. Other propetty was then produced, and the prosecutor iden- tified the various articles as he examined them. These were all in a bundle brought to Newport by the prisonei. Prisoner I now wish to ax the prosecutor if so be as he can look into any body's face, and swear as how the flannel shart is he's 'cos my mother bought it herself in three remnants, and made il up for roe herself. The prosecutor said nothing in reply. Edwin Baugh, cook of the Ayr, steam-boat, stated that on Friday evening last the prtsoner came on board, and delivered a bundle into my care, which was the bundle of clothes now produced. This was about two hours previous to the packet starling for Newport, and when he came on board, he asked it the bundle was all right. It has been in his care ever since, till Sunday, when the prosecutor and Mr. Superintendent Hop- Itios came and took it with them, after he (wiiness) had marked the several articles. Mayor: Mr. Thornton, the Court is of opinion that the iden- tity of the flannel shirt is not satisfacio y, and the prisoner is therefore discharged. According to your own account, we cannot suppose him guilty of any felonious intent, or possessed of any guilty knowledge of the felony, having been committed by your wife. But 1 would recommend you, prisoner, to be cautious in future how you form such improper connexions. We are of opinion that you had no guihy knowledge of the wife's conduct in this matter, and you are therefore discharged. We presume you were ignorant of the woman being married, and we therefore advise you that if you have any portion of the property she brought with her, you will completely acquit your- self as an honest man by going to Biistol and restoring it at once, and if you do not do as I recommend, you will act as a person guilty of the offence with which you have now been charged. The prisoner said he had been inveigled by the woman, and he would take the advice of tne Mayor, by wiping his hands of theparty and the goods at once, and have no more to do with them. The parties then left the Court. Mary Cecil, an old offender, was charged with stealing £6 from Thomas King. The prosecuior did not appear, and the Mayor, after a due caution, discharged the prisoner. John Codd was charged with dam ging a buoy, the property of the Harbour Commissioners, to the amount of £1 Is. 7d. It appeared that the vessel, of whlch.the ilelenaaut was cap- tain, damaged the buoy while she was under the care of George Morgan, licensed pilot of thispoit. The Harbour Master stated that the case had been settled by the pilot paying the amount. Elizabeth Wiiliams was charged with assaulting Nathaniel Rowles.— I here was no appearance. James Dwyer was charged with assaulting Thomas Pickman, but, in consequence of the absence of a witness in the case, it was adjourned to Thursday.
ALARMING OUTRAGE AT PONTYPOOL.
ALARMING OUTRAGE AT PONTYPOOL. The effects of John Moses, Bridgend Inn, Pontypool, were taken in execution for debt, about ten days since, by Mr. Gra- ham, the sheiiff's officer, and on Saturday last Moses was ar rested and taken to Monmouth Gaol, and his wife and farnih left the house, two of the sheriff's men and the ostler of Moses- being in possession. About two o'clock on Monday morning last, a number of persons, most of them disguised, and led by s man in female attire, armed with a gun, entered the house bv pulling out the brew-house window, and commanded the men in possession to get up and come down stairs. W hen the first man did so, the leader discharged his gun close to the man s head, and instantly two others came forward and knocked him down with bludgeons, and threw him iuto the cellar. The second man came down, and instantly received a blow I with a poker from another of them, which broke his collar bone, he was otherwise severely beaten and thrown into the cellar. The ostler was ordered to remain up stairs, but would not, and upon coming down, he was struck down and also thrown into the cellar. Two men were then stationed over the three prostrate men, armed with bludgeons, to prevenl them from coming up, alid who threatened to kill them if Iheyattempted to call for relief or to make resistance. The party then commenced taking away the property, and suc- ceeded in carrying off several bed!, a quantity of spirits, aud oiier articles. They were in the house until near three o'clock ( one hour) when one of them called out "Come sisters it ts gei.ne '<ght, where is mother, as we must be off." The person in "femai« al,ire was ,he "plain, and gave all orders to the others, who we"1 awaJ' was D0 police officer on duty in the town a°d the superin- tendent had no information of it until elghl o clock in the morning. One man, named Isaac James, shortly arler. wards taken into custody. The magistrates, who "ave had -everal meetings respecting the case, met again on Thu.:day then James was committed (ortriat On Tuesday morning, four others were apprehended upon suspicion of having been concerned in the affait, and after alengthened investigation were ddminedtobai). The police are gredllyexerllDg themselves to bring this disgraceful affair to light, but it is much to be Ie. gretted that many persons who could give the authorities impor- tant information on the subject, will not do so, and there is evi- dently a leeling in favour of the depredators, or the parties would have been in cusiodvere this.
SERIOUS OUTRAGE AT BLAENAVON.
SERIOUS OUTRAGE AT BLAENAVON. On Thursday evening last, the sheriff's officers were remov. ing a waggon-load of goods from the house of Mr. Samutl Dt-akm, at Blaenavon, which they had taken in execution, and when but a short distance on their way they were attacked by several hundred persons, men, women, and children most of ihe men had their faces blackened. They severely beat the men, and drove them off; they then cut the ropes which fas- ieoed the goods on the waggon, and took every article away. Several of them are apprehended, and were produced at Ponty. pool, on Thursday, before E H Phillips, Esq., and the Revs. John Piobert and David Jones. Their names are Isaac Williams, Thomas Langford, Leltioe Phillips, Hester Caines, and May Lloyd they were charged with having riotouslv assembled, with divers other persons, at Blaenavon, on the evening of Thursday, the 27th of July last, rind assaulting the officers of Ihe Sheriff lor Ihls county, ane taking from iheir possession a quantity 01 furniture, &c. Af'er a lengthened IDvestlga!lOn, all the parties charged were lully committed to take their trials at the next quarter sessions, for the riot and (he assault upon the sheriff's officers, but upor, applicatisn to the magistrates, they were bailed to appear at the sessions. Since the occurrence of these outrages, placards have been posted about Blaenavon, warning all sheriffs' officers and others not in future to show themselves at Blaenavon, or their lives will be sacrificed. The conduct of the magistrates, E H Phillips, Esq., and the Revs. John Probert and David Jones, is deserving of the high- est commendation, for the promptness, decision, and energ) with which they have acted and the activity and perseverance of Mr. Roberts, the superintendent of police, and the officers acting under his command, will, no doubt, enable them to give a good account of these desperadoes before long.
LAW INTELLIGENCE.
LAW INTELLIGENCE. BRITISH IRON COMPANY. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT—JULY 25. RICHARDSON1 v. LARPENT.—The bill in this suit was filed Iq six persons, alleging themselves to be shareholders of tin British Iron Company, on behalf of themselves and all othei the shareholders, proprietors, and members of the company, except the defendants, against the directors, trustees, and ,ecrelary, alleging various acts of irregulaiity and mismanage- ment on the part of the defendants, and praying general ac- counts of the whole concern, that the management of tht affairs might be put an end to, but no dissolution in terms was piayed. It appeared that some of the shareholders, not mad, parties, had paid £75. per share, while the plaintiffs had onh paid £50. per share. alleging that the call for the additions £25. per share ought never to have been made, and was no justified by the resolutions that had been come to by the grea body of the sharehotders. Mr. Russell, Mr. Wigram, and Mr. Palmer, argued that all the shareholders ought to have been made parties. Mr. Simpkinson and Mr. Shapter contended for the contrarj proposition. His Honour said it was an important case relating to a tradinf company, part of the partners of which took one view of the point disputed, and another division of the partners a contrary one. The numbeT of either class was so great as to render j I substantially impracticable to make that class parties to tlx suit. The hill was filed, perhaps properly, so far as the plaintiff, represented themselves, and all others who took a similat view to themselves of the question in dispute. None, however, of those who dissented from their views were on the record except the directors, who were in the situation of trustees, for the plaintiffs themselves and also for the shareholders who dis sented from them. They could not. therefore, freely, aDd in an unfetleTed manner, contest the point for those who hat, paid the £75. per share, as those parties could if they were 01 the record. These directors had duties towards both classes ot disputants beyond the mere duties subsisting between partnei and partner. TheTe were two points involved in the suit-one, the time manner, and circumstances of a dissolution; tht other, whether the capital of the company had been righth increased—that is, whether the plaintiffs could be rightly com- pelled to pay more than a certain specified amount of capital. One object of the bill, although not specified, was a dissolution another was to exempt the plaintiffs from the liability to contri bute any further capital; and the large body who object to this exemption are those who had contributed the increased amount of capital. They were not before the court, and they plainly had an interest that the plaintiff should pay equally with them- selves. It was too much to say that such a question would bt agitated, discussed, and disposed of, without the presence or an adequate num' er to sustain the argument over and above the persons who were trustees for both contending parties. His Honour, therefore, thought that assuming for the purposes 01 argument, and f T those purposes alone, that the answer w", true he must hold hatthesuit was defective for want of parties. His present impression was, that when a dissolution was prayed it was not universally necessary that all patties must be b-fbr< the court—no j<idge who had decided any case meant to go thai length Such a rule would render redress in many cases quiu impracticable. The law would never recognise the legality oi a partnership, and yet not affoid the means of redress or. breach of the contract between the parties. He must declart that on on the present state of the pleadings and on the as surartion that the answer was true, be must hold that the sut; was defective tor want of parties. With such a declaration h. should d reel the matter to stand over to the hearing of th. cause, without prejudice to any question, and wlthout prejudice 10 the right of the plaintiff to amend his bill, and all costs must be reserved, and each party to have liberty to apply.
