It appeared from the evi- dence that the deceased and other labourers weie boring under a large mass of stone for the purpose of blasting it, when it suddenly gave way, falling upon the men, and crushing them most awfully. Death was instantaneous. Two of their fellow labourers were also injured, but not seriously. Verdict, accidental death.

PRINOIPAUTY. BEBECGAlSm. I M P O R T A N T MEETING. A large meetiog of farmers, freeholders, miners, and inhabi- tants from the several parishes of LUnguick, Llandilo, Llanga- doek, and Bettivg, was held on a common, Bryn Cwm Llynfell, j situate on the border of three counties, viz., Glamorganshire, Brfecfiociishirgj and Carmarthenshire, on Friday, the 22nd September, 1843. John Jotles, Esq., of Bryn Ammon, in the chair, the place öf the meeting was romantically situated in the very heart of the mountain, Mynyd.d d$, or Black Mountain, formiflg the northern boundary. The approach Was somewhat difficult atlri danaerOUs, parsing ovet an extensive comfhoti or bog, called Waun Cae Gurwen Common, which a stranger would find almost impossible to traverse safely without a guide. Being accompanied by gentlemen who well knew the track, we succeeded in crossing and recrossing without accident, although in the dark, the meeting not terminating till between seven and eight o'clock, P.M. It was necessary, however, to march in In- dian file, passing the word of caution from van to rear when any dangeftms rtart e>?c'jwed. At length a steep and rugged dtsceni into Gutlie Vaur Valley, terminated ifrs penis and dan. gers of our passage, and the generous hospitality of CUT worthy chairman and host, at Bryn Ammon House, revived our droop- ing energies; it was, however, about two o'clock in the morn. ing ere we reached Swansea, after an absence of nearly eight- eenhours. The Chairman opened the meeting by slating, that the meet- ing was called to take into cofisideraiion the cause of the pre. sent difficulties and distress under which (he country suffered. That the y,ario'is tomplaints would be laid before the mteiing by the different spe'a'keis, vvhott he requested to state unhesi"* tatingly their opinions on the subject, The Chairman then said it was intended by fixture that every man should be happy if he was not so, there nbust be a cause, and the object of the meeting was to enquire into tne rau-eof the present misery and distress. Had any one any- thing to say ? Mr. Benjamin Hall, of Fountain Hall: Allow me to say, the great men who have made Ihe laws, have done so in igno- rance of the wants and the conditioo of the people. Let eveiy man come forward boldly, and explain fairly his view of the catises of thp prssent dutress. Never mind homely language we are not here to m^ke fine Speeches. If we do not help our. selves, no one else will. We have been oppressed foryears. and may continue to be oppressed for years to coffll.5, if we don;1 put our shoulders tothewhee). Mr. John Jenkins, M.A. of Swansea: A gentleman said a few days ago. that the farmers of Carmarthenshire and Glamor- ganshire knew ntjthihg St all about the matter, but he said to the meeting. let them come forward and give the lie direct to that, by each man saying what he had to ssy, The voice of 'he people must do away with all grievances. Mr. Samuel Williams, farmer, of Cwm Garw: I can say plainly enough what are our grievances. We pay a 6th and 7th, instead of a 10th for tithes. It is not the gentlemen that oppress us as much as the competition amongst ourselves-thai hascausedthedistress. The restriction upon trading over the sea has been upheld as keeping up the price of agricultural pro- duce; butlamwitfiogto have it done away. lhe landlords held out restriction as a bugbear over us. Mr. Hopkin Heib>-rt, farmer, Cwm Nantymoel: I think all the farmers will agree with the last speaker, that tithes are op- pressive. With regard to the poor-rates, only 6s. 6d in the pound go toward the support of the poor; the remaining four- teen shillings are consumed in the management and other pay. ments charged Ihereon. The farmers and the farm laboureis are for getting the Corn-laws down, and so am I too. Mr. David Williams, Gwm Carw The tithes are pressing double, 10 what they were, and very little of the poor-rates go to the support of the poor. Mr. John Harris, Court Falde: I have very little to say. What hail been said I agree with. Thetithesandthepoor. rates are mismanaged. Very little of the money paid goes to the poor, I should be very;happy to pay it if it went to suppoit thecoor. Mr. Morgan Daniel, Tygwyn I have as much necessity to speak as anybody hete my rent is too heavy. 1 should like the labourer to have fair play, toenabte him to live comforlably, I am an advocate for free trade. Mr. Thomas Isaac, Cwm Ammon I think the greatcause of the difficulties of this country are the Corn-laws, and next, the Poor laws. The money we pay I wish the poor to have, and not those who are in better circumstances than I am. The Chairman then said, the farmers seem to be of opinion that iithes and rates are too high; the reasons are— that the corn and provision laws prevent the farmer having fair play. Go vernment, through the Corn-laws, promised the farmer 56. per quarter for wheat, whereas he only got 46s' This IS one 01 the props the farmers have to keep up rent. If the tenant have sufficient credit to enable him to bny his seed, and he does not realize the price promised him, he cannot pay for it nor his rent. What then does the landlord 1 Why he sends in a dis- tress, and he geis the produce of the land before any oilier cre- ditor. This is hard, for the other creditors get nothing. The laws of good society say do unto others as you would they should do unto you," but landlords foiget this golden mamii. in therr dealings with their tenants. The law of society oughi to be like a machine, s'eady in operation, and easy of applies non but the fact is, the law makers have hllherlo almost ex- clusively belonged to the landlord class, and they have made laws to benefit themselves. The laws of distress are very un- fair, and should be amended. The system of the present laws is contrary to the Liw of God. There is nothing more inju- rious to the nation than a restriction upon commerce. Let every nation be allowed to exchange their surplus commodities freely. England is like the steam-engine of the world — if things go wrong with her, all the world goes wrong too. Markets should be open for perfect free nade. Mr. John Jenkins, M.A. I stand here, my fellow-country- men, as the defender of free trade, and the opponent of tlie Corn-laws. 1 am the advocate of Free Trade, and am ready to answer any question from any farmer. No one speakmg, The Chairman said, if you are all silent, you must be of opi- nion that theCorn-iaws should be abroga'ed. Mr. Jenkins then asked the manufacturers and miners if they had any questions to put. Not receiving any reply, the learned gentleman proceeded with an excellent and appropriate speech, of which our space will only allow us to give an outline :— There is as evident a dependence and connection between the parts of the social system, as there is between the seasons ot the year. If you oppress the poor, ihe day of retribution must come. The same law applies to society as to iodividuals-the welfare of one class should not be purchased by the sacrifice ot another. What are the principal causes of distress among the farmers and working clllsses 1 Some say the Poor-laws. 1 don'l say the Poor-law is not the cause. Some say tithes. 1 don't say they are not. But this is my opinion. We feel the few pence we pay for the gates every Saiurday. We feel we are going to destruction. We feel every little tax all press upon the country, and therefore let us do away with them. But we must examine the reason why the farmers of Carmar- thenshire and Glamorganshire are in such straightened circum- stances. What is ihe reason that ihey feel these little taxes 1 The reason is—the Government have cheated the farmers—the Government promised one price, and the farmers are getting another and a much less one for their produce. Is there such a strength in the hands of Government-do they possess unknown power to keep up price? It is not so. They have made laws which a-e qune conuary to the laws of nature. Thev have imposed such high laxes upon the export of goods to other countries, that it has stopped our country sending coal to France. This is sufficient to produce distress in these parts. There is no use growing corn where there is no one to eat it. There is no useg'owtog com on ground whtch is better adapted for other purposes. VV hoever is benefitted by the Corn-laws, it is cer- tainly D0* e ers e far,ner pays a price for his land as if he got »• P-r q-r er and if he gets less 'tis plain he loses the dirfdrence. I he farmer of small capital being the weakest goes tot e wa first and that is the reason the small farmers are now so distressed in Carmarthenshire and Glamorganshire and it is t ie same all over England. Let farmers make up their accounts for e ast 28 years, and they will find they have been losing meir captui. Instead of redress'm g our grievances, soldiers are en into the country although I dont agree with the mo e a opte of breaking the gates, and of breaking the JBWS. L r' enkini then read an extract from a document, shewing the quantity of corn imported during the quarter of a year, from June to September, VIZ, 1,500,000 quarters, and 400.000 quarters in Midsummer quarter. Corn is brought out of bond at the time when the firmer expects to make a fair price, viz., 5os. Well, the price falls to 47<—he must pay, ne. VeKfie 6if' reDt accorc''0K ,0 'l,e price of 56s. If the price rose to oos. he would be gaming, but the fact is, when corn rises above 56s., bonded corn comes in and deprives the farmer of his profit. Thus the poor farmer is brought down to ruin, anil when rent day comes he finds be is worth nothing. The Corn Laws operate as an impediment to the manufactures! the de- mand lessens-wages fall off. We have now an instance of that ruin in YystrudgunUis. 1 would urge upon the meeting the necessity of petitioning Parliament to repeal the corn and provision laws. It is impossible in a short speech to explain fully this great question, but I thiuk I have said enough to con- vince you of the impolicy of all restrictions upou trade, and the connexion they have with the distresses which afflict the country. Mr. Price, surgeon, Yniscedwan: Fellow countrymen, I have heaid a good deal about things that oppress lhe country. Mt. Jenkins has told you what he considered the causes and remedies. We have heard of the d.oir,gs of Becca of her taking down gates where there were good roads. I don't ap- prove of it. Let us have good loads. If we had good roads we might tiavel as safely by night as by day. (A voice in the crowd cried out I wish you good loads, Mr. Price.") Let Becca come in Ihe middle of the day, as well as in the night. I don t like these nocturnal outrages. espeaker continued at some length, and was replied to by QU I '"R' ^Ut ltl's l'me BEC*ME t0° DARK 10 report. Short y afterwards the following resolutions were carried una- nimously— That in the opinion of this meeting, Free Trade is the only remedy for the existing distresses of the country."

j ,CARMARTHEN. -----
j CARMARTHEN. The calling out the military Fast' Saturday week in this town has excited a good deal of unpleasant feeling ami angry discus- sion upon the subject. It appears, neiiher the mayor nor the magistrates G1!Íeie,f out the military, but that Colonel Love, assisted by Col. Trevor, thought fit to order the Dragoons and infantry out to quell a cortimoft street row." The mayor sod magistrates disclaim all knowledge of the calling out of the soldiery, and the subject is taken up by the town's people with a great deaJ of indignation. The public meeting to repVobate the conduct of the military authorises is to be held on Thursday iJgxt. A requisition to the sheriff for the borough has been nfitmeroUsly signed, and wifl be presented to him in the course of to-morrow, begging of him to take the chair. A meeting of the watch committee of f»Ve borough was held to-day, at which the subject was taken up rather rtrarmly. The meeting took place after the usual meeting of the fawn council. The Mayor said he understood that numerous mis.st&t!!ments had been industriously spread abroad thut he had called ou1 the Dragoons on Saturday night last. He begged to state that he did not know anything about the matter. He was not consulted about the propriety of calling out the soldiers, and he did not know they were out til) be saw them in the streets with naked 3words. Mr. Morse had been extremely sorry to see the military called out to patrol the streets on Saturday night. He had met Col. Tretor, the vice-lieutenant, on that night, and had heard the order gitet1 for calling out the Dragoons. The Cofonel appeared much excited, and gave him no answer. The Dragoons came out; they drew their svwds—ihey flourished them over the heads of quiet, inoffensive peopte--and, in fact, did all tbey could to excite the people to resistance. At such a time as this, he thought it highly necessary that the civ:J\> authorities should have liS little to do with the military as possibfe. If peace were wished for, the interference of the military was the fast thing to be resorted to. He had heard from mr.re mouths than one, 'hat a public meeting was 10 be held on Thursday, in a large field in the town, to censure the magistrates aod n iliiary. He believed that the whole affair had originated in a drunken frolic, and that it had been begun by a constable who was drunk Was this a fining time for Dragoons to ride over people, for sword610 be brandished over people's heads, for officers of troops to ride into shops, and order people out at an early hour of the night1? He had heard the order given ot Col. Love and Col. Trevor to send the Dragoons out to clear the streets, and before he had time to expostulate with Col. Tievor, the troop passed him at full trot. Mr. W. Momssaiil the military had not been ordered out by the mayor or the magistrates, and he was much surpiised to see them out. 1\1.. Morse said that, perhaps he was under a wrong impres. sion, but it was his opinion that neither Colonel Love nor Col. Trevor had any right to order out the military without the con. sent or authority of the borough magistrates. He had seen Lieut. Kirwan flourish his sword over people"* heads, riding over women and children, upsetting apple stalls, and so on aud he should, therefore, propose that the mayor shoold come to a proper undeistanding with the military, to know whether 'he town vvas to be governed by the mayor and magistrates, 01 oy the military. He had no doubt that Col. Love was mistaker, as to the cause of the distutbance. He no doubt came out 01 his nrjss room, and was alarmed at seeing so large an assem- blage of people, and fearing a riot, he had ordered out the mi htary. He was convinced that the vagaries of Lieut. Kirwan '•sd xc:ted the townspeople more ilian fiythiog. He knew bat the mayor and magistrates were abi.: to keep the town in ^ood order without military assistance. He did not wish it tc '>e supposed that the borough authorities were at vatiance with ihe mthtary but the mayor ought to have been asked before the soldiers were called out. Mr. George Phillips had heard Lieut. Kirwan tell his men, hat if any one obstructed their way, they were to give him a knock on the head." It was then unanimously resolved, "That the watch com miitee have heard, with much satisfaction, that the calling out of the military on Saturday night last, did not originate with ihe mayor ami magistrates, being of opinion that their services were nOl required 011 that occasion, anti they have to express 8 hope that in future they will not be permitted to act without a requisition from the authorities tor the borough." Carmarthen, Monday night. I have much pleasure in informing you that thete has been no recent disturbance either in this town or its neighbourhood but consideiable regret is felt that any attempt should have I been made to destroy the property of such well-disposed and billing servers of the public as Mr. Chambets, of Llanelly, and Mr. Adams, of Middleton Hall. These gentlemen have been most anxious for the redress of grievances connected with the turnpike trust and have most certainly lent a willing ear to the omptaints of farmers who have entrusted them with their con fidence. It therefore becomes doubly hard, that the fiiends of the farmers so aggrieved in these matters, who merely execute a solemn duty imposed upon them, and to which they are bound by oath, should be the objects of the vengeance of the parties they were really anxious to protect, and whose grie"ances (hey used every effort to redress. There is ro be a public meeting of the Carmarthen District of Oddfellows at the Town-hall, on Wednesday evening nexl-the object of which, 1 am informed, is to denounce, on the part of that respectable and extensive older, any connection with the destruction of private property. -Correspondent (1' Swansea JOlt1"7lal.

REBECCA'S PHOCEIIDINGS.—By letters from correspondents residing in various parts of the country, we perceive that Re- becca s hostility against turnpike-gates is far fiom ceasing. In deed, it does not appear that she is in any way inchned to per- mit of a truce, much less to make a declaration of peace, and a cessation of hostilities. A correspondent writing from Landyssil, Cardiganshire, says —" I believe the general feeling among the people respecting Rebeccaism is much the same as it is about Ltanetty, Pontar- dulais, See. There is not a single toll gate in this neighbour- hood, neither have we had any since June last, when they were destroyed by the Rebeccaites." REBECCA AND THE ODDFELLOWS.—On Tuesday evening a large meeting of Oddfellows was held at the town-hall, Lla. nelly, attended by many of the most respectable and influential inhabitants, for the purpose of taking into consideration the state of things" and of expressing their opinions upon the various topics which now agitate the public mind, especially in their own connty, Carmarthenshire, and the adjoining counties. What passed during the meeting," adds our correspondent— "I, of course, had no opportunity of knowing, as none but Oddfellows were admitted, but from the frequent signs of ap- probation which reached the ears of persons in the street, una nimity seemed to prevail. Afier the business of the meeting was over, the members walked in procession through the town, their gay dresses producing a pleasing effect by gas light. Resolutions were passed at the meeting, to the effect that, while the members admitted the existence ot grievances, they viewed with feelings of deep regret the nightly outrages and destruction of private property which have taken place in the neighbourhood and pledged themselves to exert their influence to counteract such proceedings. BARRACKS AT SWANSEA.—On Monday, a meeting of ma- gistrates was held at Mr. Attwood's office, to lake into consi- deration the coulse to be pursued with respect to the providing of barracks for the troops now stationed at Swansea. It will be remembered that, Colonel Love having intimated his deter. mination of withdrawing the troops from the town, unless pro- per accommodation were provided for them, the magistrates ap- plied to the Town Council for funds with which to erect tempo. rary barracks; but, upon divisions at two successive meetings, convened for the purpose of taking the communication fiom the magistrates into consideration, the majority of the members of the Council present decided, that no additional numbers of troops were required than could be accommodated at the present barracks, and that, consequently, the application of the magis. trates could not be acceded to. The meeting on Monday was called in consequence of this refusal of the Town Council, and we understand that the magistrates have determined upon con verting into barracks the house in Htgh-sireet, known as the London Hotel," and which is used at present as a night asy- lum for the houseless poor. As it was stated in the communi- cation to the Council, that the magistrates had no available funds for providing barracks, we conclude that the expense of the alterations in the above house will be defrayed out of the private purses of the magistrates.— Cambrian. THE HARVEST.—Very many years have elapsed since the farmers have been blessed with such favourable weather for the in-gathering of their crops. They have taken every advantage of the season, and the harvest may now be said to be almost completed. We cannot be too grateful to Divine Providence lor the blessing of such a season—the more especially as at an earlier period of the year, in consequence of the unfavourable weather, there were fears entertained of a far different result.— Cambrian,

CLARET CUP,—Take one hot tie of pure Bordeaux wine, and put it into a latge silver cup, with of cold spring water. Stir into it a large table-spocnful of moist sugar, and throw over it a little nutmeg grated,.and cinnamon, allspice, and cloves pounded. Add a few thinly pared shreds of lemon, peel, and a branch of borage—or if that sweet flowering plant be not comeatable, the rind of a small cucumber. Put that to your lips, and if there are more than three to come after you- do not speedily remove it. Rely upon it, you will not get ano- ther chance. Do not forget, however, to pledge me in the cup."—New Monthly. ANOTHER MUSICAL PRODIGY.—A correspondent states that there is a cow belonging to a farmer in Essex, possesinga most musical low she glides the scale, ascending and descending, sometimes diatonic, sometimes chromatic, but always with cor. teci intonation, in the most musical manner. It is suggested that the losing cow and 'he singing mouse should join issue ihey would resemble the kit and the contrabasso, or the picolo and ophicleide, and prove highly attractive, particularly, il they could be taught 10 perform Dr. Boyce's celebrated dnet.
