TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR,—On perusing your paper of the 18th instant, I perceive the effects of the will of the late Mr. Hill, who left the munificent bequest of nearly 90,0001. to cha ritable purposes. He seems to have been mindful of the afflicted, either by disease, or suffering from the privations of some faculty ; also, of the young and helpless ; and not less has he testified his zeal for the propagation of Christianity. Indeed the foregoing are prominent subjects, calling for sympathy and assistance, and the testimony of such deeds does credit to the minds of those who listen to them, and lend the helping hand which is called for ; but to those, only, who have laboured to investigate the condition of the working classes in the metropolis, and compared their means of livelihood with the large families which, in many instances, they have to support, together with the many difficulties they have to contend with, can the merits of such an institution as the en closed papers relate to, be duly appreciated ; for I can assure you that frequently the greiteSt distress and pri vations are borne by those who strive to coraceal their misfortunes, whilst they laudably strain all their exertions to extricate themselves and families from want, by in creased industry. It has been regretted by the friends of the Friendly Loan Society that its hitherto want of publicity has not afforded it the opportunity of receiving that general sup port which its 6haracter deserves. Feeling that philanthropy has the strongest appeal to those who possess the confidence of the public, I with the less hesitation venture to address you these few lines, and solicit your co-operation in a public good. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your most obedient, humble Servant, Nov. 20th, 1839. H. S. [This is a most benevolent and useful Institution and all who know the principles on which it is founded must regret that its sphere is so limited. It was esta blished in 1836, since which time it has aided by tem porary loans nearly two thousand applicants, and of these a very small proportion only have failed to repay the loans. The small means of the Society have ob liged it for the present to limit the district of its opera tions to the distance of half a mile from the office This is greatly to he regretted. Prisons, hospitals, and poor houses have many inmates, to whom in time of need the loan of a few pounds would have be ,n salvation. But the Institution, though patronised by men of rank and influence, and though the working of the principle . has realised the most sanguine expectations, must still be very limited in its operations, or perhaps go to pieces, unless better supported by the public. It is a remark able feature in the benevolent and religious character of the people of this country, that they should annually subscribe vast sums to be expended among strangers, and to a certain extent neglect to support institutions formed for improving the moral character, and the comfort of their distressed fellow-creatures in their own country.—ED. Sun.] THE TAMWORTH YEZMANRY. Tho following letter from Mr. Robert Peel appeared in the Morning Chronicle of Saturday : TO THE EDITOR OF THE MORNING CHRONICLE. Bonehi!l House, Nov. 21. Sir,—Your paper of Monday, the 18th, contained a paragraph copied from the Stafordshire Examiner, in which it is stated that the yeomanry who escorted her Majesty Queen Adelaide on her visit to Drayton Manor "openly refused to drink their Colonel's health." Now, Sir, as I have the honour to command the troop which was on duty on that occasion, I take this oppor tunity of contradicting, in the most unqualified manner, the above infamous statement. I should have done this much earlier, but, being ab sent from Staffordshire at the time alluded to, I waited until I had made myself acquainted with the real facts of the case, and had ascertained if there was any foun dation for the stigma thus cast upon my troop. Had the statement been confined to the pages of the Staffordshire Examiner (a paper whose character is so well known), I should have treated the matter with contempt ; but when it appeared in your columns, I considered it due to myself, and to the iaembers of the troop, to publish what occurred en the evening in question, which was simply as follows : On the health of Lieutenant-Colonel the Earl of Lichfield being proposed, it was received, as it ever has been, with the greatest enthusiasm—with the exception of one individual, who refused to drink the toast, al leging as a reason, that when the Earl of Lichfield ad dressed the regiment on a late occasion, he complimented a few individuals at the expense of the remainder of the regiment. It is almost unnecessary for me to say that this per son entirely mistook our Noble Colonel's meaning, and it will be perceived that his refusal to drink Lord Lichfield's health arose from the above mistake, and from no political cause whatever. This individual is no longer a member of the troop. In conclusion, I beg to remark that I cannot find language strong enough to apply to the pitiful miscreant who has endeavoured, by a false am(' anonymous state ment, to sow discord and disunion amongst a•body of men so devoted to their Most Gracious Sovereign Queen Victoria, and so much attached to their com manding officer as the Tawworth troop of yeomanry. I remain, Sir, Your most obedient servant, ROBERT PEEL.

LITERATURE. SIIELLEY'S POETICAL WORKS. Moxon, London, 1839. This is another of those cheap, one-volume editions for which we are indebted to the taste and enterprise of Mr. Moxon, who in the same conve nient form has already given us Shakspeare and Ben Johnson, and promises us, as we perceive by his advertisements, Beaumont and Fletcher, toge ther with Congreve, Wycherley, Farquhar, Van burgh,—in short, all the comic dramatists of that period. That these speculations have answered, and will continue to answer, we have not the slight est doubt. They are well 'edited, well printed, are of the most commodious form, and, in point of price, are adapted to pockets even of the most poetical temperament. The volume before us--which is graced with a half-length' portrait of the author, and a sketch of that portion of the burial ground at Rome where he lies buried—contains every poem, finished or unfinished, that Shelley ever wrote. " Queen Mab" the earliest of his works, but by no means the crudest in thought or expression, stands of course foremost in the list ; and is printed, not as in the common editions, but as it was origi nally written, the expunged passages having been all restored, at the request of the Editor, the poet's widow. In later life Shelley, we u nderstand, was ashamed of " Queen Mab." H e n eed not have been so, so far at least as its poetry is concerned, for it shows more power of fancy and animation of style than the Revolt of Islam ;" and is worth at least a dozen " R.osaliads and Helens." As regards its ethics, these are by no means so injurious as has been generally supposed, for the social and moral reforms it advocates, are hinted at in so vague, ab struse, ultra-metaphysical a style, that it is scarcely possible to do more than just guess at the author's meaning. Shelley was an enthusiast, full of the milk of human kindness, imbued with noble senti ments, and indefatigable in his efforts to promote, what he conceived to be, the amelioration of his fellow-creatures ; yet, we know not why it is, we take little interest in the perusal of his poems, though among them are to be found passages of surpassing grandeur of thought, not less than of style. He always seems to us to be constantly endeavouring to veil his real meaning from his readers. Instead of taking the simplest and most appropriate form of expression, as is the case with Wordsworth, whom he professed to reverence, he hunts carefully about for the most abstract and enigmatical. He mistakes mysticism for profundity, the far-fetched for the original, in proof whereof, we refer the reader to his " Revolt of Islam," and the two first acts of his " Prometheus Unbound." The most enduring monument of his genius—des pite the repulsive nature of the theme—is his "Cenci," which is more intelligible, and has more real pas sion in it, than all his other works put together. Yet Shelley , was a man of high and rare imagina tion, and could he but have Sobered its excesses, and expressed himself in the simple and perspicuous language common to all great poets, instead of adopting a sort of spangled style, full of glittering epithets, which serve no other purpose than to dazzle and confound, he might have become one of the most popular poets of his age and country. NO THINGS. Chu, ton, London, 1839. The author of this volume of exceedingly small poesy, observes, in one of his staves, with a modesty much to be commended— The powers of genius own not my control, A poet's garb I wear, but not a poet's soul. We hope, for his own sake, that this is not the case, for a " poet's garb”—which may be defined with tolerable accuracy, as a coat out at elbows, and no cravat—is very apt at this time of the year to engender rheurnatisms and sore throats. In another of poems, the author candidly tells us, that indo lence " rules me with an absolute control"—a fact, which we have not the slightest inclination to doubt, for had not such been the case, he would most un doubtedly have corrected such prosy, halting lin e s as " When a lady doth discover That she bath more than one lover, She can haVb those who adore her Trotted out' at once before her, And comparing them, she can see Which the most doth hit her fancy ; She can, eyeing the live lumber, Choose the best man of the number; . Aid 'tis good in other things, too, To your bow at least t'have strings two." The expression " trotted out"•however appro priate it may be at Tattersal's—does not add much to the polish and delicacy of this passage. Wu would advise the author of these poems to bid adieu to Parnassus as soon as possible, for he may rely on it, with all his exertions, be will never get beyond the lower slopes. POEMS WRITTEN IN NEWFOUNDLAND, Saunders and Utley, London, 1839. The chill, comfortless, foggy Newfoundland— which is, besides, the very unpoetic seat of the Cod fishery—is the very last place from which we should have expected that a volume of cheerful poetry would have been dated. The genius loci would, we should have supposed, have weighed down the spirits of the authoress, and induced her, if she rhymed at all, to indite " Odes to Quicksands" — Sonnets to a Fog"—" Meditations on a Cod's head-and-shoulders," &c., instead of the sunny, fanciful themes which she has here descanted on. Above all, who would have looked for glowing descriptions of flowers from a resident among the mud banks of Newfoundland ? Yet here we have them in their fullest luxuriance—a proof that the powers of the fancy are less modified and moulded by climate, than is generally supposed. In her poem entitled the " Wishes," Miss Prescott is quite enthusiastic in her praises of flowers ; and in describing the hyacinth, makes the following graceful allusion to the old classic legend of Apollo and Hyacinthus The hyacinth, whose purple bells Still waving as they hang, Seem ringing everlasting knells For him from whom they sprang." " Tasso" is a lengthy poem, more remarkable for melody of versification than for tenderness or origi. nality of thought, though the closin g passages are not without pathos. But why does Miss Prescott speak of " Broad Tiber's ancient river ?" The Tiber, we beg leave to inform her, was never, even in its best days, a broad river, and is now, in its old age, a mere insignificant stream. But this is a tri vial blemish ; on the whole, the volume is one that does her great credit. VOYAGES of tke DUTCI . I BRIG, DOUR GA Madden, London, 1839. From the title page of this volume, which speaks of voyages " through the Southern and little-known Parts of the Moluccan Archipelago, and along the previously unknown Southern Coast of New Gui nea," we were prepared to expect much novel and interesting information ; but our expectations have not been realised, for the work is meagre to a de gree—in short, mere o utline, and as dry as a ship biscuit. It is a trans lation from the Dutch of D. ' H. Kolff, jun., by a g entleman n amed Earl ; and professes to give an account of the num erous islands lying between the Moluccas and t he northern coasts of Australia. The vo y a g e t o these remote regions was made in the years 1825 an d 1 826, by place order of ff any the note Dutch Government touched was then in a state of insu rrection against the Dutch authorities. The follo win g i s the only passage we can fi n d relative to the inhabitants of this island, worth extracting :-- " In the Southern parts o f Cel e b es , horses of a very a t, was ; Celebes,and which the first good description are to be met with, which the natives manage with considerable skill. A cushion stuffed with cotton, and laid upon the animal's back, forms their saddle, on which they sit cross-legged, and with this simple contrivance their seat is so firm that they take bold leaps, and scour across the country in a manner truly surprizing. \Vhen a chief is killed, his relatives and slaves do not care to survive, but a c ase of this sort rarely takes place, as the former usually remain on spots free from danger. The Bughis will carry their slain off the field of battle at every risk, and will submit to great loss rather than fail in this obj ect .” The allusion in the above passage, to the rela tives and slaves of a great chief not caring to sur vive his death, will remind the reader of an enter taining chapter in the well-known voyages of Sin bad the Sailor, which has been turned to excellent account in the humorous farce of the "Illustrious Stranger." Of the inhabitants of the Ceram-taut and Goram Islands, which border on New Guinea, the author observes : Natives worthy of belief have assured me that if a Papua of the coast is struck by a desire to obtain any articles brought by the foreign trader, for which he has no productions to give in exchange, he will not hesitate to barter one or two of his children for them ; and if his own are not at hand, he will ask the loan of those of his neighbour, promising to give his own in exchange when they come to hand, this re quest being rarely refused! This appeared to me to be almost incredible, but the most most trustworthy natives bore unanimous evidence to its truth. The mountaineers themselves sometimes sell their children also. In other places, I have known parents sell their children when their maintenance became too heavy a burden for them to bear, without heeding whether they would ever see them again. Such a total absence of feeling certainly brings these savage people below the level of dumb animals." These islands, it seems, abound in fish, and the forests in snakes, which the natives eat as a great delicacy ! Their women catch crabs in the following curious manner :—" They place baskets over each foot, and walking orer the mud-banks, they are enabled to feel the crabs when they tread upon them, which they secure by thrusting a sharp pointed stick into them through the basket." When we have said that the Moluccan Archipelago abounds in sharks ; the creeks and lagoons along the southern coast of New Guinea, in crocodiles and alligators ; and that a small river was discovered on that coast, to which the name of " Dourga " was given, we have stated nearly the whole amount of information that is to be found in this volu me. COMMENTARIES ON SHAKSPEARE. 2 VoLs. Colburn, London, 1839. . _ We have here a re-publication of several in. genious essays that have appeared from time to time in the pages of the New Monthly Magazine; and whose object is to inquire what were Shakspeare's authorities for his his tory, and how far he has departed from them; and also whether the Plays may be given to our youth as properly historical." In the prosecution of this inquiry, the author, Mr. Peregrine Courte nay, has spared neither time nor research, His essays show much skilful reasoning. We need not, however, dwell on the subject, as we have already made them the subject of comment in our usual Magazine notices from month to month. PATERNAL ADVICE TO YOUNG MEN.

Simpkin, London, 1839. A very inoffensive, common-place collection of small prose essays, and still smaller poesy. The binding, however, is unimpeachable, and, to our thinking, the most attractive part of the volume. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. LATEST BETTING AT MANCHESTER.

A young man visiting.; in the neighbourhood last summer, was re commended to try an external application of this weed, and it is understood that he owes to the unusual medi cine his recovery from a complaint in his breast, which his friends feared had taken deep root in his system. He is how in his ordinary state of health, and has not been threatened with a return of his disorder.—Cale donian _Mercury. T H E CHARTISTS.----Th e large body of work men in the employ of Mr. J.

THE FAMILY OF SAXE COBOURG. The fortunate bridegroom elect of her Majesty Queen Victoria, Albert Francis Augustus Charles Ema nuel, is second son of Ernest, rei,fning Duke of Saxe Cobourg and Gotha, who succeeded his father, Francis, in the small principality of Saxe Saalfeld Cobourg, on the 9th of December, 1806 ; and, by the death of Fre deric IV., with whom the male line of Saxe Gotha Al tenbourg became extinct, came into possession, in right of descent from the female branch, of a considerable portion of that inheritance, and took the title of S ixe Cobourg and Gotha on the 12th of November, 1826. The Duke has been twice married—first to Doi othy Louisa Pauline Charlotte Frederica Augusta, daivrbter of Augustus, the last Duke but one of Saxe Gotha Altenbourg, from whom he separated on the 31st of March, 1826. On the 23d of December, 1832. the Duke married Antoinette Frederica Augusta Ma ria Anne, Princess of Wartemburg. By the first marriage the issue was Ernest Augustus Charles John Leopold Alexander Edward, hereditary Prince of Saxe b be o r u t rg and Gotha, born h bridegroom-elect te 2 Ist of Jn of ci u ue e e , 18 nv I i c B, and tor Victoria, born the 26th of August, 1819, and therefore not of the legal age of twenty-one until August 1840. The Queen was born the 24th of May, 1819, and is, there fore, three months older than her intended husband. The other members of the family of Cobourg are :- 1. Sophia Frederica, &c., sister of the Duke, married to Count Emanuel, of Mensdorf. 2. Juliana Henrietta Ulrica, also sister, re-christened, and now Anna Feodorowna, on her marriage with the late Grand Duke Constantine of Russia, from whom she was separated in 1820, through gross cruelty on his part, and other circumstances on her own, not necessary to advert to. The death of that Prince, in 1831, left her a widow. She resides, and since her separation and widowhood has resided, in Switzerland. She and two her sisters were sent, previous to the marriage, to St. Petersburg, for choice of that barbarian Constantine, 3. Ferdinand George Augustus, brother of the Duke, married in 1816 to Maria Antoinette Gabriella, daugh ter and sole heiress of Prince Francis Joseph de Kobari, an Hungarian Nobleman of ancient family, and immense territorial property in Hungary. As a condition of this marriage, Ferdinand was obliged to embrace the Roman Catholic religion, and to agree that all the children born of the marriage should be brought up in the same faith. The issue of this alliance is three sons and one (laughter, of which the eldest son, Ferdinand Augustus Francis Antony, born in 1816, married Donna Maria da Gloria, Queen of Portugal, and, according to the law of Portugal on the birth of a son and heir, became King Consort. 4. Maria Louisa Victoria (now her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent), married first to the Prince of Leiningen, on whose death she was afterwards married to the late Duke of Kent, who died in 1820. 5. Leopold George Christian Frederick, Le youngest brother of the Duke and uncle to Albert, married first to the late Princess Charlotte, heiress presumptive to the Crown of Great Britain, who died in 1817 ; elected King of Belgium in June 1831, and re-mar ried at Compeigne, in August, 1832, to the Princess Louisa Maria of Orleans, daughter of Louis Philippe, King of the French.—Courier. As the marriage of our young and interesting So vereign has been finally resolved upon, according to her own free will and choice, some particulars of the family of Saxe Saalfeld Coburg, or Saxe Coburg and Gotha, as more recently entitled, and now about to be still more aggrandised, may not be without interest. To a nation so justly distinguished for its high-toned loyalty, and the pure standard of its morals and religion, it cannot but be a source of the most unalloyed gratifi cation to know that in this union wiih Prince Albert of Saxe Coburg Gotha, the personal felicity of our young, lovely, and gracious Sovereign has been identified and combined with the security of all other objects of inex pressible import to the constitutional rights and pros perity of the empire. By the free selection of the man of her own choice, not unknown, unseen, and as so fre quent in Royal marriages, negotiated by proxy, the do mestic happiness of her Majesty has been assured, so far as by human means it could be assured, against the possibility of doubt or disturbance ; and this conviction must carry the most pleasing confidence to the minds - of her faithful subjects of all classes and parties. Viewed in its more public and political aspect, there is every cause also for congratulation. Brought up in the strict tenets and observances of the Protestant faith, the young Prince will come no stranger into the bosom of the Pro testant Chnreh. His religious sympathies, equally with the affections of his heart, will bind him up no iess with the interests and feelings of the great community of which he is about to become one of the first and most distinguished citizens, than they will endear him to that august Sovereign. 'Who is the objet 'of their homage and devotion as of his own. Descended in a right line from that branch, the eldest branch, of the House of Saxony, which in the person of its Elector, in the time of Charles V., forfeited dominions and sacrificed power rather than abandon the truths of Protestantism and the cause of Luther, its champion, of whom he was the great pro tector, we have the strongest assurance, in Prince Al bert's connexion with the Crown, of a stedfast supporter of the national faith, and a bulwark, if need be, of the National Church. Educated at the great Protestant University of Bonn, in Prussia, all accounts concur in describing him of gentle and unassuming demeanour, winning the affections of all around him—a numerous body of preceptors and associated students—active in the pursuit of knowledge, and equally accomplished in mind as i❑ person. The accession of a young and high born Prince, of promise so fruitful, to the home and hearth of our beloved Queen, cannot, therefore, but be celebrated as a day of rejoicing and jubilee for the people of an empire upon which it may be said the sun never sets.—Morning Advertiser. To be the husband of the Queen of Great Britain would seem the realization of all that-even romance has conceived of human grandeur and earthly happiness. Rank without responsibility—station without duties— riches without labour, and, better than all, the chosen partner of a young and beautiful woman, who, distrust ful of all around her, selects one breast in which to con- fide her doubts without fear of treachery, and one judgment from which to ask advice with the certainty of faith and truth, that an identity of interests only creates. But turn the medal, and what is the reverse ? A gilded puppet, who can perform no action becoming in elevated birth and exalted station ; who can follow no pursuit worthy of a warrior or a statesman ; whose entire im portance is reflected, and who can avow no opinion (except, perhaps, on an article of dress, a piece of furni ture, or a horse), even though the fate and character of his wife be at stake, without violating theconstitution of the country that has adopted him ! Happiness may, nevertheless, be the fate of the illustrious pair, and there can be no exaggeration in saying that the best wishes of the nation for their felicity will attend the union. But to domestic happiness the public can con tribute little beyond good wishes; for, as with inferior per sons, thatblessing depends upon circumstances over which none besides the parties themselves have much influence. For the consort of the Sovereign it becomes the country to make every reasonable provision as regards his dig nity and comfort, and no doubt the country will perform all that it ought. The questions asked by everybody are, " What is t he Queen's husband ? his rank—his power—his re venue ?" These inquiries are easily answered : he has no rank except what his wife may give him—no consti tutional power whatever--and his revenue depends on the liberality of Parliament. No person in England has ever stood in exactly the same situation as Queen Victoria's husband. Even if the state of this country and of society were like that of the twelfth century, Geoffrey of Anjou, husband of Maud, the only surviving child of Henry the First, was very differently situated. On the death of Henry the First, the throne was usurped by his nephew Stephen ; and all that Maud could do was to secure the succes sion for her son Henry the Second. The next instance was that of Lord Guildford Dudley, husband of Lady Jane Grey ; but Jane was an usurper, and as her reign lasted only eleven days, nothing was done respecting the consort, who was, however, styled " King" by fo reigners. The case of Queen Mary resembles that of Queen I f Victoria, inasmuch as she was married after her ac cession ; but it is dissimilar in every other respect. It I was provided by the treaty for her alliance with and confirmed by Parliament, that on the celebri on of their nuptials he should, " during their marriage, enjoy jointly with the Queen the Kingly natn er , taoin f itn i gle, realm and dominions unto the Queen ap,-,,ife, in the and should aid her Highness , b ein g his iv happy administration of her realms ar .a dominions." Philip was thus legally King of Ene,17. , ::,d ; and as th ere is no fear of that precedent being i'ollowed, his status was altogether different from tliat of Prince Albert. King William and Queen. Mary do not come withi n the present category ; far their title to the Crown the will of the notion,. whi c h h a d set as id e the regular order of s uccesiion in their favour ; and they ascended the throne as. joint Sovereigns, the exercise of the Royal W. that o f P r i nce George pow T e h r e being i ti s v c e e s t e m d o in st i l n V p i 1 0 l i i a n m t consort of Queen Anne ; but Anne was married long before her accesson, and the Knight of the G ar t er b y King William. There was, however, a strong prob;,.. bility of Anne's succeeding, n she a_rr ia position si a w s t heiress ot nh t wash ep i p ri i i. that • sum of ptive p ; ri s n o ce th L a e t op P od onrlinee George's h a s cess Charlotte. Th e po i nt that bears on the prese ut question is, therefore, what was Prince George's posi- tion after Queen Anne's accession ? All that appears on the subject in Bishop Burnet's History is, that the Prince was appointed Lord High Admiral, and that 100,000/. a year was granted to him in case he sur ked the Queen : but that extravagant grant is ex plained by the great improbability of its ever being paid, in consequence of the Prince's ill state of health ; and dying before her, he never enjoyed it. Of so little consideration in the eye of the Constitu tion is the consort of the Queen Regnant, that he is not known to the law ; and the little that Blackstone says about such a personage shows his insignificance :—" The husband of a Queen Regnant, as Prince George of Denmark was to Queen Anne, is her subject, and may be guilty of high treason against her ;" and he adds a line about the impunity attending his " conjugal infi delity," which cannot possibly interest Prince Albert. Ad that can be said of the husband of the Queen may therefore be comprised in a few words. Politi cally, he can ostensibly be nothing, though privately he may be almost everything. The representations and advice of Ministers will avail little against the wishes and arguments of a beloved spouse ; and the delibe rations of the nuptial couch—if, as is ardently hoped, harmony, tenderness, and love attend it—will probably he found infinitely more efficacious than those of the Council Board. Happily, the destinies of England do not depend upon the will of any two human beings ; but if Prince Albert be endowed with great intellec tual attainments, sagacity, and firmness, united with ambition, he may nevertheless have immense influence in this country, and may become the instrument of great good or almost irremediable evil. The marriages of the Queens Regnant have not been of long duration : Mary's with Philip lasted only four years, and William the Third became a widower in less than six years after his accession. The vulgar and predominant feeling at this moment is not, however, what effort will the Queen's husband produce on the institutions and policy of the country, but what are the " creature comforts"—those posses sions which the dullest can understand, and the least ambitious appreciate—with which he will be endowed? Their curiosity can be readily satisfied. He will be naturalized by Act of Parliament ; he will be created a Duke, and perhaps Duke of Kent, and a Privy Coun cillor (though, if he be wise, he will refuse all honours connected with responsibility and duty), a Field-Mar shal, a Knight of the Garter, the Bath, and perhaps of all the other Orders ; and, like his uncle, be authorised to quarter the arms of England, -with a grant of prece dence of all persons except Dukes of the Blood Royal. Thus much from his wife. From Parliament, perhaps 30,0001. a year, with laudations from all sides for so moderate a wish ; and the same desire for popularity may induce him to be satisfied with 50,0001. per annum, in case he should survive the Queen. For their illus trious progeny, the good natured country will be no less considerate ; and loyal people may chaunt the burden of the song written on the Prince of Wales' marriage, just forty-five years ago— " The Royal House of Hanover, the darling of the nation, I; likely now to last for another generation." —Spectator. RIOTS AT NEWPORT. ZEPHANIAH WILLIAMS'S EXAMINATION. NEWPORT, FRIDAY NIGHT. My report of to-day embraces several minor cases, and the commencement of the examination of Zepha niah Williams, a man who is said to have had con siderably more influence amongst the mountaineers than even Frost himself, from his loaf; personal acquaintance with them, and from his having at one time given em ployment to a great number of colliers. So much im portance was attached to his apprehension, that the Magistrates doubled the original reward, for the county added 1001., and Mr. Blewitt 1001., making altogether 4001. for his apprehension. It is expected that on Mon day some important disclosures will be made on the examination of this prisoner. THE EXAMINATIONS. FRIDAY, Nov.22.—Magistrates present—the Marcie, Thomas Hawkins, Esq., Rev. James Coles, Chairman, Octavius Morgan, William Brewer, G. Hall, J. Fa , „o=' thergell, and S. Homf ray, Esqrs. Professional gentle-' mea—Mr. Maule, Mr. Phelps, and Mr. T. J. Phillips: The first prisoner placed at the bar was David Morgan, charged with riot and sedition. The first witness called was Evans Harris.—l was a* home on Sunday night, the 3d of November. After I went to bed I heard a noise, as though the house was very near fill'. Two or three minutes after that - - heard a person call halloo, two or three,times. A child, about 18 months old, was in bed with me at the time.. The child began to cry. After that some man came into the room. He had a pike in his ha nd. There was another man with him, who had something that ap peared like a cutlass. The man with th e pike told me to rise in a minute. I did rise, and went down in the kitchen and dressed myself there. i took my clothes down into the kitchen with me. It was then ten minutes to ten. I did not know either of the men that came into my bedroom. When I came dorm stairs there were about twelve or fifteen men in the house. They were armed, but I cannot describe w'nat sort of things the weapons were. I know David 7 ,1 oy d. He lives at the Argoed. He is a beer se ll er . Th e pr i soner is,tho man. ls4w the prisoner in my b ouse with the men that night down stairs. I went :.-..v,vay with them, for I was in fear of my life. We all went together. We went as far as Newbridge, about a mile and three quarters. I saw a sight of men there, and I ran away. I got back home about twelve o'clock, and my wife was then at home. Anna Harris, wife of the last witness, gave similar testimony.. There being no further evidence against the prisoner, the Chairman cautioned him as to. his future conduct, and discharged him. Thomas Bray was next placed at the bar ; but as he received a good character from his employer, Mr. Mom fray, and there was no important evidence agatost him, he was discharged. Thomas Llewellin was placed at the br.r, on a charge of riot. After the evidence of J. Hughes and L. Lewis had been heard, the prisoner was reuianded till Tues day, for the production of further evidence. Zephaniah Williams, whose appreb ension I announced yesterday, and for whom a reward of 4001. had been offered, was then placed at the bar. Considerable ir j . terest was excited by the prisoner's appearance in tszvant, as it was considered that he possessed more ir:fluence with the colliers than any other man, and br a d under taken to bring 5,000 into the field, which he did. Wil liams has been in affluent circumstances, braving at one time employed some hundred men himr,elf. He had for some time previously to the riots kept a public house.

I reme saber the Sunday of the riots. I spent that day with Mr. Marsden. At about seven o'clock I left his hour,e, and was returning towards Abersychan, when I met from forty to fifty men, who passed me. Some of th em were armed, but not all.

I said this t o M rs. Williams and di' m a t ur b sd ' 4B , prisoner's son, Llewellin Williams. I drank a glass of beer, and went along with Llewellin Williams to the. parlour, and got a card for Daniel Lewis and my self I then went along with the men who were outside:. V.ewellin Williams is about eighteen years old. Re w ent along to. Waynylcham by way of Beaufort. over the bills and got near Ebbw Vale. I then saw the prisoner standing on rising ground ; it was very wet, and dark. He had an umbrella over him. There were a great number of 'people there. It was about, ten o'clock.' Some had candles and lanterns, and se,me candles in their hands. The prisoner said to me, " What, are you come here ? Come here to me." They made their way to the bottom of the hill. Afterwards we met another great crowd, and then I tried to make. my escape, but I ; was called back by the prisoner, whc, said, " Stop, stop, I you must go along with me and keep tbese m men on." As we went along there were houses called at on the "Stop,ee been pierced stop road. ; they were knocked up and forced to come t a h loz u , gb a . s o vv t hheernw prisoner the wou sa id id h to av m e e, r 118 h o nedrereri drinking; staynga s m w a ed could e w note rbye he and saidre w You must pistol ust which co.ae h a e lo h n r g .ld w r it ig h ht us 7 t o before keep m t h e e , what , was an w d In en on."
