tjSow The POOR ARE TRE.HHD.-We have more ort one paragraph in our paper every day showing the Cold Charity of man to man", 411d ?? destitution and death are doing their work ? °"S8t the poor. We haTe now before us a very c 111011 c?sp; it is one simply of hardship. Under the ? hea,d of Bromley Police, January 29," we see R. jje_ ?e *as brought before a bench, composed partly of one Peer and two Parsons, upon a warrant, issued at tjje ^stance of the board of guardians of the Bromley '°ni charging him with neglecting to maintain his wife '?Ou!y, who had in consequence become chargeable. ,4 ?ent every board day to see the guardians, and told "? what steps he had taken to get work. He did not vi &at to go into the workhouse while he was able to "ork for his living. He had now got employment from sake parties who intended to run a new coach, and he would be able to take his family out of the workhouse, nd support them, and he had that day engaged an Partnient for them. He hoppd the bench would not send him to gaol. He had lived in the neighbourhood b: thirty years, and, although his wife from illness had n a great charge upon him, he had never before re- ceived relief. This was Benge's answer; and one Wlluld have thought that the poor fellow's inability to get Work, and his consequent poverty would not have b een considered a crime. h °r seven years his sick wife had been a great ch uarge" upon him, said the man; he had lived in the eighbourhood for THIRTY YEARS, and had never before permitted his sick wife to make any demand on the Poor rates paid by his richer neighbours. "No matter," said the noble Chairman. If you could not get em- ployment," said this kind-hearted Bedchamber Lord, T°u ought to have gone into the workhouse. We ??Isend you to jail." Benge begged for pardon, he had j* length got work, after having been half-starved for 42 '4Y, and nights, and after having suffered, in addition to the pangs of hunger, from insufficient clothing also, Uring the most inclement season of the year. To the rn"Il" entreaty the MoMe Chairman said, that the con- Y'(!t'Ori must stand for the present, but the defendant, it j&il Climated, might not, perhaps, be sent to Maidstone Now, as we have already said, this case is not half so .a one as we see reported every day. But it is Possible to read how this poor fellow Benge was treated Ly a Bench of Bromley Magistrates without feeling ° tyrannously the poor are treated. The poor fe "IV had lived in the neighbourhood for thirty J-earsi and supported himself without pay or pen- t'loll other than he earned by his honest labour. aa the noble Chairman who passed sentence of im- P lsonment on him say as much. We think not. If e mistake not, the Sidneys are silken lords, who have eVer buzzed about the back stairs of Court, content to about the royal bedchamber. The former Lord of throg-halllived on the public, and like father like son" the present Lord Sidney does so too. He has struck toot deep into the public purse," he is a sinccurist, with "?ts that just qualify him to sit on the bench at petty '?ions, and to enjoy the distinguished office of a lord  the bedchamber. Some persons may think that both the lord and the labourer are not very unlike paupers, Wini this difference in favour of the latter, that he has 41W a3"' earned his living, the other has as constantly b egge,i ? from the government of the day. My Lord, ?!d n 0monitor within" whisper the truth? when ?? '? ?Mling industry for an involuntary omission to a ? "??Pon did not your conscience suggest that you ere the pauper, he the honest craftsman. A brave pea- Jury is their country's pride"—what is a Bedchamber rei ? Why, the very grease of your carriage-wheels, of those carriage-wheels that whirl you from the palace, at which you are a lordly lacquey, to the Bromley Petty Sessions, is paid for out of the public purse. But this 18 "how the poor are treated." It was in this very parish-of which the pauper peer, "Ose harsh conduct towards an honest, unemployed labourer has drawn from us the above observations i. so distinguished an ornament-that only a little while ago a poor woman died from destitution—in an out- house, we believe, being afflicted at the same time with a painful disease-from want of the common necessaries of life. And this is how the poor are treated" by those who live on their labour-not their own.

LATEST NEWS. j LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING. Consols for Ace., closed at 97 k. CORN EXCHANGE.—Business bad, prices stationary, arrivals moderate. Her Majesty, Prince Albert, and suite, arrived at the Paddington terminus of the Great Western Railway, by special train, from Slough this afternoon at three o'clock. The Royal party, escorted by a detachment of the 13th Light Dragoons, immediately proceeded to Buckingham Palace.

Workmen blre now busily employed in the House of Lords making the necessary preparations for her Majesty opening the session in person. THE QUEEN'S Sirrcii.-The Times of to-day rot Only thinks that the speech will be vague, but that there ^on't be one syllable about the corn law in it and that of Ireland little only will be said. We (the Standard) had hoped to have received our usual Express from Dublin, bringing an account of yes- terday's proceedings in the trial of Mr. O'Connell and others but our letter from Ireland has not yet arrived, and we arc compelled to put our paper to press without it, in order to be in time for the post.

TOWN COU.NCIL.-Anidjotirned meeting of the Town Council was held last Tuesday. There were present:— The Mayor, Messrs. J. G. Philipps, E. II. Stacey, T. T. ^Vebb, James Morse, G. Davies, G. Philipps, W. G. Th ()Mas, John Adams, T. Jones, C. Jones, J. Jenkins, T- B. Powell, John Lewis, S. Tardrew, &c. &c. The hiinutes of the last meeting were read. It was then stated by the Town Clerk that as the advertisement for a schoolmaster for the Lammas-street Free School had been left to Mr. Simons to draw up, he could bot be blamed for its non-appearance. Mr. Simons had ncglected to draw up the advertisement, and that was the reason for its non-appearance in the papers last \H'ck. The Mayor said he had drawn up a sketch of an "•dvcrtisement which he read, and which was approved of- It was then ordered that 100 copies of the rules for the conduct of the school should be printed, in order that they might be forwarded to any applicants for the Situation, and also that they might be hung up in the schoolroom for the future master's guidance. With respect to the erection of a new schoolroom it was stated that it had been ascertained that the Council had no authority to do so, and that as the charity was only in their trust, they had no right whatever to expend the money of the ratepayers of Carmarthen for the pur- Pose of erecting a schoolroom for a Charity. A question larost, as to whether the expense of the repairs of the tvro houses which formed the Charity should be defrayed bY the Council, or by the master. Mr. Stacey said that he looked upon the schoolmaster in the same light as tl e Incumbent of a living, and the Gouncil were in fact Ie patrons. The incumbent would, of course, take his nce of any expenses that .might or might not accrue IP,d ought the schoolmaster.- The Mayor, said that as it was ascertained that Council the would not legally erect a schoolroom, the better plan would be to rescind the order that was made at the last meeting. This wai agreed to. It was then stated that when Priory-street school was built, the Corporation had given E300, and the rest of the money had been raised by public subscrip- tion.-The Town Clerk said that he would get a better house built for £ 200. Mr. Thomas Jones said that in those days timber was much more dear than at pre- sent, and Mr. George Phillips added that then contracts went by favour. The Mayor read an estimate of the probable expense of re-flagging the slaughter house, it amounted to £28 12s. 8d.-The Town Clerk said that it was very necessary that the slaughter-house should be repaired he had inspected it and knew that it was in a very bad condition. ——Mr. John Lewis said that very often in winter time the sheep were actually floating about,-The necessary repairs were ordered to be executed, and the surveyor was directed to get tenders for the work. -Mr. George Phillips said that several tradesmen had been complaining to him of the exorbi- tant charges in the slaughter-house for weighing pigs. Pigs not worth more than 15s. were charged Is. for when weighed. This was a most scandalous charge. If a person buys a pig from a countryman, Is. is charged for weighing it, and if that same pig be sold to a person to cut up, another shilling is charged.-The contract was produced, and on referring- to the table of tolls it was ascertained that 6d. only ought to be charged. The contractor was then sent for to explain the matter, and the complaining party was also sent for in order that he might appear and substantiate his charge The con- tractor stated that the charge was 6d. for weighing the pig and 6d. for using the hooks to hang it up on. The complaining parties, however, stated that on the occasion to which they referred no hook was used, and yet Is. toll was paid. The Mayor said that if that were the case, the contractor ought to be summoned before the magistrate for imposition, and he had no doubt justice would then be done.- The estimate of the expense of lighting the Cross clock for the whole of the night instead of as at present was produced and Mr. George Phillips objected that inasmuch as the Cross clock was only a benefit to the immediate neigh- bourhood of the Cross it ought to be left as it is without going to further expense. The matter then dropped. -Mr. George Davies said that he had a message to convey to the Council from Mr. Mansel Phillips (who was in town and would attend the Council if requested to do so) to the effect that as the arbitrators could not agree, he was willing and ready to go to a jury, and he was also willing to waive that part of the agreement which gave the arbitrators the power of waiting till the 7th of March to decide. The Town Clerk said that the better plan would now be to proceed at once under the Act. Mr. George Davies said that the Act required that a sum of money should be first offered to Mr. Philipps, and that if he refused it, a jury was to be called to assess the da- mages. No sum of money had been offered him, and he boasted that he could make the Council pay all the expenses. If, however, a sum was offered and the jury gave less damages than that sum, the Council would only have to pay our half the expenses. The Town Clerk would see to that. The question then arose as to whether or not Mr. Philipps still purposed giving an entrance to the market through Mr. Morley's house. The Mayor said that by the Act the Council could take that house, and that in fact they could take the whole field, for it was mentioned in the schedule as Parkyvelvet field. Mr. Morse was of opinion that Mr. Philipps would never make an entrance, and he should be an advocate for taking the whole field and the house too. That part of the field over which the markets would not extend could be built upon, and the specula- tion would repay them handsomely. He had all along, however, said that the site had better be removed. Mr. Geo. Davies said that could not be done, as the Act bound them down to take Parkyvelvet field, or any other property belonging to the Corporation. Mr. Morse thought this was not the case. Mr. Davies said that Mr. Mansel Philipps had said so. Mr. Morse then sent for the Act of Parliament and found that it was true.-The Town Clerk said that he was of opinion that the Council could not take more ground than was necessary for carrying out the purposes of the Act.-It was thn stated that Mr. Fowler, the architect, would be in town on Thursday, and it was suggested that the meeting should be adjourned until Thursday, in order that the tenders for the works of the New Market might be opened. It was then arranged that notice should be given of what portions of land the Council would require, and also if the house for an entrance would be wanted, as it was necessary to do this before going to a jury. It was ordered that two boards of the tolls to be taken at the slaughter-house and market should be painted, and that the surveyor should put up one in the slaughter-house and the other in the meat market. The Town Clerk then said that there was a subject which he considered of some impor- tance to himself and the Council, and he should detain the Council for a few moments while he spoke about it. On the 9th of January he had mentioned to the Council that Mr. Alfred Thomas had used terms respecting him which he was not justified in using, in a letter to Mr. Saunders on the subject of the marshes belonging to the Corporation. He had also mentioned that in that same letter Mr. Thomas had made imputations not creditable to the Council or Mr. Goodc. At the next meeting Mr. Morse read a letter which he had received from Mr. Alfred Thomas, in which Mr. Thomas distinctly denies ever having used expressions disrespectful to the Council. The Town Clerk then read the following letter Wellficld, Jan. 22, 1844. "DEAK SIR,—I have been informed that at a late meeting of the Town Council it was stated, that in my letter to Mr. Saunders on the subject of the Corporation Marshes, that I had expressed myself in disrespectful terms towards the Council. Now as there are many members of the Council for whom I entertain great respect, I shall be sorry that such a statement should go uncontradicted. I therefore trust that the Council at their next meet- ing will, do me the justice to cause my letter to be read to them, in which they will find that such remarks that I have made apply solely to the report on the state of the marshes, and bear no allusion whatever to any act of the Council. I remain, dear sir, yours truly, A. Tiiomxs." J. Morse, Esq," The Town Clerk continuedWhen he read that letter he was surprised. He was afraid that by the treachery of his memory he might have been betrayed into making an incorrect statement. He therefore felt bound to get hold of the letter to Mr. Saunders, in order that he might justify his statement or correct it. The issue between him and Mr. Thomas was whether he had told a lie, or Mr. Thomas had told a lie. He had seen Mr. Saunders, who declined giving up the letter, as it would only make mischief, but when he understood that there was an issue joined between the parties he gave up the letter. It was as follows Wollfield, Dec. 27, 1843. "DEAR Sm.I have to acknowledge the receipt of your favour of the 23d instant with the communication made to you by the Town Council, and as I am very much engaged this week, I will take an early opportunity next week of replying to it. Mr. Goode's report contains the most impudent statements that I ever witnessed, and betrays on his part* either a total want of principle or great ignorance of the nature and qualities of the soil. I find that the Council wants to get possession of the lease in order to effect a sale, and this is the mean and disreputable plan they adopt for that purpose, and which no honourable body of men would be guilty of. The reason for attacking me is, my having withdrawn myself from. having any connection with them, and on the part of the Town Clerk my having refused to have any connection with his brother-in-law in lithe appor- tionments. I remain, dear Sir, your obedient servant, A. TKOMAS." J. E. Saunders, Esq., Glanrhwdw." He would now leave the public to judge of Mr. Thomas's conduct, and who had stated the untruth. Why he should attack him he knew not, as he merely transmit- ted a copy of Mr. Goode's report to Mr. Saunders, in his capacity as Town Clerk.—-—Mr. Stacey felt indignant at having heard read Mr. Thomas's impertinent letter, No. 1. and his mendacious letter, No. 2. He trusted the papers would give publicity to them. Mr. Thomas had ventured to attack men more respectable than him- self, and he might perhaps have succeeded in doing them an injury by thus endeavouring to insinuate him- self into the good graces.,of the political party opposed to that which predominated in the Council. Mr. Morse considered that the letter addressed to him was intended to be read to the Council, and he had therefore read it. He was sorry that Mr. T. had used insinu- ations that were evidently not called for. Insinuations such as he had written could not for a moment be enter- tained by honorable men. He had never heard one word thrown out as to getting hold of the lease. What the Council wanted was compensation for the damage done to their property. Having great respect for Mr. Thomas, he was very sorry he had written such letters. -The Mayor stated it as his own opinion, that Mr. Thomas's conduct was scandalous and disgraceful. The meeting then adjourned till Thursday. Those who in quarrels interpose Will often wipe a bloody nose," and we ourselves have as little desire for interposition and the condition of nose pointed out so poetically in the above quoted lines, as any person or persons pos- sibly can have. Nor should we, even in appearance, evince a forgetfulness of the proverbial philosophy of the couplet so prettily persuasive of a peaceful neutrality, but that we wish to propitiate one of the parties to whom some language has been applied, which we are not quite certain might not subject us to an action on the case, if Mr. Alfred Thomas thought proper to punish us for publishing a report of what we are apprehensive is little short of libellous. The Mayor, for example, is reported to have said that Mr. Thomas's conduct was "scandalous and disgraceful". Some persons, it is true, have odd notions of character and conduct, and per- haps Mr.Thomas would rather have the dispraise than the praise of the Mayor. Of that we know nothing. But this we do know, and we say so in perfect seriousness, that if the copy, or alleged copy, of Mr. Thomas's letters, with all the Town-Council-talk about the dispute had not been in type, and so fixed in our columns that we could not take them out without a good deal of trouble and loss of time, thry would nmt appear at all except M an advertisement, for the thing seems to, us to be little more than a little difference, partaking far less of a public character or of public interest than of a private quarrel with not a particle of interest in it to any earthly person but the parties themselves. A court of law, and not the columns of a newspaper, appears to us the proper place to determine the question at issue, which, as well as we can understand, is simply this, whether Mr. Thomas has run', or has not run,' some marshy fields of which he is the tenant under a Mr. Saunders, the said Saunders being lessee under the deceased (diseased) corporation a question at all events that we have nothing to do with and on the merits of which we are not called upon to pronounce any opinion whatever. We must also say the objects of Mr. Alfred Thomas's censure have just as much right to their opinion of his conduct as he himself has to his own opinion of their's. For the rest, both parties have called names, and both parties perhaps had better pocket the affront respectively received. There's pre- cedent for it, royal precedent for it, though the case is not analagous,there being here no "solid pudding" to be got by either party. The precedent which we refer to for pocketing an affront," is this:— Sir Robert Walpole disgusted the Princess Caroline by calling her a fat b—h." When she became Queen, Walpole promised her a settlement of EIOO,000, a-year, if he were maintained in office. Sir Stephen Compton had only proposed £ 60,000. This decided the matter between the ri val Whigs and Tories. The Queen wrote back to tell Sir Robert Walpole that the' fat b—h' had forgiven him." Since the above was written, we have received the following advertisement or letter for publication, from Mr. Thomas. [Advertisement.] j I 10 the Editor of tAe 11 Welshman. SrR,-Some time since I observed, in your report of the proceedings of the Town Council, that the present state of the Corporation Marshes, lately in my occupation, and formerly in the occupation of J. E. Saunders, Esq., j was introduced to the notice of the Council by the Town Clerk, Mr. Lewis Morris, with a report thereon by Mr. G. Goode when it was ordered that the report should be forwarded to Mr. Saunders, and that an amicable arrangement" be proposed. This report was subsequently forwarded to me by Mr. Saunders, to whom I returned a reply to it. Finding that this reply was withheld from the Council, and in- correct representations of it having gone abroad res- pecting it, I requested Mr. Councillor Morse to do me the justice to call for its production, which was promised by the Town Clerk at the next meeting, which took place yesterday, when, I am informed, a written paper was produced purporting to be a copy of my reply to the re- port in question. And on showing the draft of my reply to persons who were present, I was informed that the copy produced was nothing like it." On the receipt of the report from Mr. Saunders, I wrote him a note to acknowledge the receipt of it, and that I should forward him my reply shortly. This note, I confess, was written under considerable irritation, from perusing the unwarrantable attack made against me, and I have reason to believe that I expressed myself with more warmth than I would have done in my cooler moments. But this was a private and confidential com- munication, and cannot be the one represented by the copy produced by the Town Clerk. However, it ap- pears that my reply to the charge in question was not produced. Perhaps the Town Clerk has very cogent rea- sons for withholding it. But the motive that could in- duce a servant and legal adviser of a public body to bring forward a charge against individuals calculated to produce litigation, and then to withhold the reply to such charges, is beyond my comprehension. All I know is, that the contributors to the borough rate consider themselves to have been sufficiently taxed already by unsuccessful litigation. I remain, Sir, your obedient servant, ALFRED THOMAS.

The Convict Shoni and the M .P. for Brecon. I -uoi. Xnomas Wood, me lutmocr of Parliament for Breconshire, has transmitted a written testimonial to this convict. He gives him an excellent character, states his determination to give him every assistance in his power, and expresses an anxious wish that he may soon be permitted to return to his native hills again. CARMARTHEN.—A petition in favour of John Hugh the unfortunate youth convicted at Cardiff, and now in the Millbank Penitentiary has been handed about the town during the week, and a very great number of signatures has been obtained. A letter from the poor fellow has reached his father. It appears he is not undergoing solitary confinement, but is much better treated than he at first expected would be the case. He writes cheerfully.-A fine boy, aged 4 years, the son of Serjeant Stephens, was scalded to death by falling into a tub of malt dust. He lingered until the next day, and then expired in convulsions; an inquest was held yesterday, and a verdict of accidental death returned. -We are requested to state that Mr. Geo. Bagnall is not a member of the Town Council, neither has he been since 1837.-Mr. F. Lansdowne's benefit takes place at the theatre on Monday night. This very useful actor was in Mr. Chatles Crisp's company some years back, when Mr. Crisp had a very successful season here. He is a very respectable actor, and deserving* of support. We shall be glad to see the house filled on his benefit night.-At the meeting of Paving and Lighting Com- missioners, held yesterday, it was resolved that eight of the lamps at present lit in various parts of the town should be removed, and that they should be placed as follows:—2 in Wood's row 1 in Catherine-st; 1 in Goosc-st; 1 in Picton place; 1 in Temple Gardens 1 in Dame-st; and 1 in Little Water-st. The discussion was a very noisy one, and the Mayor frequently said the meeting was worse than a bear garden. Each Commis- sioner wished one or two of the extra lamps to be placed in the locality of his own house, and neither would vote for another's proposition. Some bills were passed, and although the meeting was a rather long one, no other business was transacted. There are at present 79 prisoners in the county gaol. Of these 13 are for trial at the Assizes, and 5 for trial at the Quarter Sessions. 15 are debtors, and 4 are soldiers. 7 arc sentenced to imprisonment and 3 to transportation. The other 33 are vagrants or prisoners for minor offences. The adjourned meeting of the Council was held yes- terday. Mr. Fowler, the architect, attended to open the tenders for the works at the New Market, and assist the'Council with his advice. Reporters were excluded. We have learned that the whole of the tenders were considered to be too high, and that all were consequently rejected. LI.ANELLY.—A NICB COUNTRY TO Livia IN. The Philadelphia correspondent of the Morning Chronicle gives the following account of the Texian fron- tier: A notorious brigand chief on the Texian fron- tier, who had murdered twenty men with his own hands, and known and dreaded as Pete (Peter) Whetstone, was shot dead, a few days since, by a citizen of the United States, whose life he had threatened. The ruffian was 60 years of age. That frontier, especially adjoining Arkansas, is partly peopled by desperadoes. Judge Field, in addressing one of the courts there, re- cently, said that two prosecuting attorneys had been murdered for doing their duty; a judge barred out of his court by a mob, and his life endangered and ano- ther judge attacked on his bench by ruffians, merely for ordering silence in the court-while a third was forced by an armed blackguard to leave the bench and drink with him, during a session of court.' The TeN- ian frontier is it seems a nicer neighbourhood than that in which a subscription was raised for powder and shot to kill a surplus landlord, the younger Mr. Chambers.-A Correspondetit. CLEAVER V. THOMAS.—[fVow a Pembroke Corres- pondent.]—This case, which was one of assault, Was heard on Itlie 27th ult., at the town Hall, of Pembroke. Mr. Cleaver, the plaintiff, after been sworn stated that he was a shopman to Mr. Palmer, a draper, &c., and that on a certain day in the last week, he was behind the counter serving some of his customers, when the defendant, Mr. Henry Thomas came into the shop, and gave plaintiff to understand that unless he retracted some observation made to a young lady (he (defendant) would then and there "draw his claret"- that plaintiff desired defendant to cut his stick" out of the shop, else he would lay the yard measure which plaintiff had in hand over defendant's back. This piece of advice, however, defendant did not take, but at once proceeded to put his threat of drawing claret" into execution. The plaintiff thereupon jumped from be- hind fthe counter, and he Cleaver (the plaintiff) very Cleaver-ly at once proceeded in his native Carmar- thenshire fashion to put plaintiff's head into Chan- cery, a position where strength prevails over science, which he did, and served defendant with some of its thumping processes," with very good effect, and made defendant give notice to stay proceedings, which notice called in the aid of a third, and they were separated. The assault having been proved, he was fined five shil- lings and costs, which together with the Chancery hnsinpss. made it an awkward affair for him." THE CONVICT CHARTISTS—FROST.—The lad Me- pham, of whose return we give an account, reports that he saw Frost the day before he received his pardon. He was at the Cascade station, about sixty miles from Hobart Town, in the bush, and acted as schoolmaster, on which account he was exempt from labour in the forests. Williams had the misfortune to break his leg three days before Mepham left. Jones was employed as a constable to watch the working party in the bush. He told Mepham on the eve of his departure that he would give ten thousand pounds if he had it to change places with him.——^fonmoxitlishire Beacon. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, MONDAY, JAN. 29.— THE QUEEN v. WARD.—This was an indictment against a gentleman of large property in Wales, for having conspired with other persons to flood a mine in the county of Denbigh. The indictment is only one of several proceedings which have been taken against each other by rival mine-owners in Denbighshire, and the pre- sent indictment has been removed by certiorari into the county of Chester. Mr. Jervis now applied for a rule calling upon the prosecutors to show cause why they should not deliver to the defendant a statement of the particular acts upon which they propose at the trial to rely in support of the charge, and of the times when, and of the persons by whose agency, the said several acts were committed. Mr. Justice Williams, upon hearing the nature of the charge as alleged upon the indictment, was of opinion it was more specific than in those cases in which particulars" are generally directed by the Court to be furnished by the prosecutor to the defendant. His Lordship, however, granted a rule nisi, with liberty to have cause shown at chambers.

JOHN HOGAN, SHIP BUILDER, &c. &c., IN returning his very sincere thanks to his extensive circle of Friends, and Houses of first respectability who have favoured him with their kind patronage and support for the many years he has been in business, begs most respectfully to inform them and Ship Owners In general, that he, in concurrence with other well-wish- ers for the Port, deeply deplores the contintted want of accommodation here for properly repairing Vessels of large Burthen, and with an earnest intention of over- coming that great difficulty, he has commenced with a determination to carry into immediate effect the erection of a spacious DRY DOCK, Which will afford accommodation to Vessels of one Thou- sand Tons. J, U, further begs to bring to public notice, that con- v, inced of the paramount importance of economy and dispatch, he is resolved on making such reduced charges as will meet the exigencies of the present depressed state of the Shipping Interest; and he trusts that by strict and personal attendance, and the constant superintend- ance of an experienced Foreman Shipwright, he will me- rit a continuance of those favours from his kind patrons and friends, and encouragement from the Shipping Inte- rest in general. J- II. begs it to be distinctly understood, that he has no connexion with any other Ship Builder here, or with the Patent Slip. Milford, January 24th, 1844. NOTT'S PATENT STOVES still maintain their decided superiority over every other. They give out twice the heat with half the fue) and will burn ten heurs without replenishing. Ten years' experience in churches, chapels, private dwellings, warehouses, and public offices fully confirm this statement. They cannot possibly explode or give out offensive gases, as many others do. They are adapted not only for warming the apartment in which they stand, but for the circulation of hot water to conservatories or any distant part of the building.—Orders addressed to Nott's Stove Company, SO, Great Queen's-street, Lincoln's Inn-fields, will be attended to. A liberal allowance to ironmongers, builders, &c.

A CARD. THE Public is respectfully informed, that Mr.. V. Dunant has reluctantly been induced to potponc his benefit, although his motive for taking thc Frid:y eycning was that all the tradesmen's bills, howevertrifling, should be liquidated before the end of the season, trust- ing the last night would have made a few pounds clear for himself and family. Nearly the w hole of the proceeds of Mi's. Dunant's night having gone the following dar to cancel former obligations therefore, after a reason d intense study (in a new line of business) on the part of Mrs. Dunant, the Wear and iear of scenery and tiresscs, the anxiety of mind, the toil both in-door and out, Mr. and Mrs. Dunant are left with this last chance to meet all demands, and procure the means of leaving the town in an honorable manner. Particulars of the performances for the evening will be seen in the advertisement. Bridge Street, Carmarthen, Jan., 1844. CARDIGANSHIRE. IZUII-KL POLICE.

Quid faciat lcctns'segetos "-VIRGIT,. THE CORN-PRODUCING LIQUIDS. ONE of the most extraordinar'y exhibitions in th& 0 yard (at the late Agricultural Show, Dundee), was that presented by Mr. James Campbell, of the Dundee Public Seminaries. It consisted of magnificent plants of oats and barley, grown from seed which had undergone a certain chemical preparation, and without the aid of any manure whatever. Such a mode of culture is at variance with all prac- tical experience; but Mr. Campbell declares that his prepared seeds, which have produced these strong, healthy plants, were sown by him on land which, to his certain knowledge, had had no manure of any kind for i eleven years and he declared himself quite ready to verify his statement by experiment, and said he was wiHinjr, at any time, to impregnate with his chemical I preparations the seed which any member of the Society should send to him for that purpose, so as to enable gen- tlemen to satisfy themselves fully to the efficacy of this wonderful mode of culture." — Journal of Agriculture, October, 184;1. After impregnation with these liquids, the seed possesses within itself elements which not only afford additional nourishment to the grain during the progress of germination, but communicate to the expanding vessels of the plant an aptitude to absorb food, both from the soil and the atmosphere. Of one specimen of oats exhibited, the average produce of 3 i seeds was 1,600 grains from each, or a total of 52,800 grains, weighing 481bs. per bushel. The produce of barley was an average of upwards of .500 grains from each seed sown and of wheat sown on 5th July, and taken up on 8th August, to be exhibited, the result was, that while the unprepared seeds gave plants with two, three, and four stems only, the impreg- nated grain yielded plants with nine, ten, and eleven stems. -1 The discoverer, therefore, ot tnis most important ami invaluable process, confident, from the results of numerous experiments, of its complete success, now begs to intimate, that he is prepared to supply Agriculturists- with the dry (material) for making his CoiiN-GitoWiNU LHUIDS, at the follc wing prices, viz:— For Wheat 2s. 6d. per gallon. Barler. 2s. Od. do. Grasses and Oats .Is. 6d. do. Beans and Peas 2s. Od. do. Turnip & Rape-seed..2s. 6d. do. I One-third, or even one-half, less grain is required fcr seed than is commonly used and twelve gallons will, impregnate eight bushels of grain; for the operaticii may be repeated in the residual liquid with additional measures of grain, as not more than one-tenth is absorbed in each operation. Particular printed instructions for using the liquid3 will accompany invoices. No order under ten gallons will be supplied. ACF.NTS.—Messrs. Geo.

b order, if such adjournment did not, in any way, '4t"fere with the due administration of justice; but in ii.. ?&st, unfortunately, strict justice is not done. Two Jr,otl* have been in gaol ever since the 1st of January tatting that trial by a jury of their fellow coun- ell, the issue of which is to subject them to punish- I't for their offences, or to send them forth from finernent innocent men-uncontaminated by crime. e law allows every man to be considered innocent iQ I his guilt shall have been fully proved, and no man QuId be punished for any crime with which he may tand charged until a fair trial has been awarded him ° Punish a man before he has been condemned, is tantrary both to justice and common sense. How tllnds it then with the men now awaiting their trial fore the Recorder of Carmarthen ? If they, on their trial, shall be acquitted by the jury, they will have lIffered nearly two months' unjust imprisonment-that tb to Say, they ought to have been brought to trial on the 1st of January, and instead, have been illegally and Justly kept from, having justice done on them, either y acquittal or conviction, until the 22d of February. Is sort of thing ought not to be suffered. One can hardly wonder now that, at the sug- estion of two town council Sneaks, the usual adver- tetnent giving notice of the intention of holding e Sessions has been curtailed, while the advertise- r4t-tlt giving notice of the holding of the adjourned asions has been suppressed altogether. This putty and pettifogging piece of humbug ought to have been Seated; for the circumstance which caused these re- 14arke to be thus hastily thrown together may be partly "ttlibuted to the want of sufficient notice of the time holding the Sessions."
