STOVE ON PRINCIPLES ENTIRELY NEW, AND UNEQUALLED FOR COMFORT AND ECONOMY. By her Majesty's Royal Letters Patent. irHE CHUNK PATENT STOVE, inverted by Mr. R. PROSSER, Civil Engineer, is distin- Pushed from all others by its entire freedom from dust or ?take, its great economy of fuel, and its perfect safety from 're. It has been a source of great comfort in the nursery and !led-room of he invalid, affording an uniform temperature "'rough the day and night, with' only one supply, while the most d e li ca t e t es t canno t d e t ec t anything arising from its use . . "Inch is injurious to health—it merely warms the air without decomposing it; and, as there is no door, none of the gases generated by combustion can pass into the apartment. Wherever warmth is required, this Stove is applicable. It is as desirable for the drawing-room as the laundry ; for warming greenhouses it possesses extraordinary claims, the very great expense of building flues, and afterwards the immense con sumption of fuel, being avoided. For workshops and ships' cabins it is invaluable ; it requires attention only once in twenty-four hours, during which time the cost will not exceed twopence. Price, Plain, 3/. ; Fluted, 31. lOs.

It having been represented to Rippon and Burton that the Chunk Patent Stove has been fixed with piping improperly made, and without. sand for the Fire Pail to stand upon, in the inner circle of the bottom, R. and B. feel it necessary to state, t hat unless their printed directions (which are very short) are Mn every respect attended to, the action of the Stove will be "Mich injured, if not destroyed. 12, Wells-street, Oxford-street. bETT'S PATENT BRANDY.-If any proof were required of the still rising celebrity of this Spirit, and the expiring efforts of attem p ted com p etition, the Excise Returns would at once furnish the evidence ; whilst the prediction, on its introduction in 1829, that " it would even tually supersede the use of French Brandy," is rapidly approach ing its accomplishment. By the Official Accounts referred to it, it will be seen that the consumption of French Brandy is gradu all y DECREASING ; and that the sales of the PATENT BRANDY, within tho present year, have INCREASED at the rate of from 40,000 to 50 ,000 Gallons per Annum; a quantity far exceeding the entire trade of those establishments formed with the express object, and in the vain hope, of rivalling this production. These simple facts are the best answers to the allurements of high-sounding titles and aristocratic bombast, thrown out by certain parties; who must be, by this time, fully convinced, that such an ostentatious display is altogether worthless, as a substitute for quality. , If any doubt exist on the minds of J. 'l'. Betts and Co. , that the Patent Brandy will entirely supersede the use of the Fo 'l4ll Spirit, it arises from the fact, that purchasers are not SU FFICIENTLY CAREFUL to guard themselves against being imposed upon, by the substitution of spurious articles for the genuine Patent Brandy. Were proper precautions taken on that h ea d, comp l a i n t s o f quality would soon cease to be heard.

[tre insert this article in order to do justice to all parties ; the report of the meeting which we formerly insetted having been impugned as incorrect} From the Norwich Mercury.) Not one in five hundred of our readers will wade through the voluminous mass of the Report of the 7_iorwich meeting. 'We can give the result in a very kw lines, and in the order in which it happened. The .enrol merits of Mr. Bignold, nominally 8 or 9,0001., but probably from 4 to 6,0001. a-year, are reduced to a fixed salary of 2,0004 The formation of a new Consti tution. for the future government of the Society is com mitted to four Directors, who, we underitand, are Mespr.s. Jenny, Seppings, Crosse, and • W. Rackham, and lliessrs: Charles EVans, Poynter, Farebrother, and Stew; e:rd—to be referred to Messrs. Brodie and Tyrrell, and in case of their non-agreement, to Mr. Duval as final itt - mpire. Such is the triumph achieved by the in surers... Had half these benefits been gracefully eGn cededr as justice, prudence, and policy dictated, at the first meeting in 1837, that half would have been gladly accepted. It is due to the shamefully abuse d London Committee to say, that to their efforts: the Society is mainly indebted for the in• vesti,vation which has led to this promising result. We were also, it will be seen, pretty handsomely abused... To have replied where yells were substituted for arguments and .invectives for reason, indications which sufficiently expose the materials of this assembly, would,` have been as useless as derogatory. We more over felt that we had our appeal to a far higher, a far mora competent, and a far more impartial tribunal—. namely, to the Insurers and the - Pabiie at large. Nor need we now enter into any defence. Our jus tificatiem (we might proudly say our praise), a justi fication the most full and complete possible, is re corde,3 in the circumstances which have accompanied every step of the progress towards the consummation we have above related. Our earliest notices aroused the distant insurers, and our justification is first recorded in the following vote, passed at the Birmingham meet ing, which gave rise to the London meeting, and pro duced the investigation— "‘ `That the thanks of this meeting be presented to the Editor of the Norwich Mercury for his honest and able exertions in promoting an investigation of the af fairs of the Society."—Dec. 6, 1837. Our justification is next recorded in the adoption of all our suggestions by the Committee appointed to revise the sunpended bye-laws—it is recorded in the appoint ment of the examination of accounts—it is recorded in every paragraph of the Examiners' Report, and espe cially in that part of it which declares that the bonus;we denounced as merely colourable, was not authorized by the funds, but actually placed the Institution in insol vency to the amount of 126,0001., and so deprived all the insurers since 1829 of their rightful share of the profits, a transaction which has no parallel in the annals of swab a Society. Our justification is consummated by the proceedings of the meeting, in the disclosures relative to that transaction, which arose out of Mr. Morgan's state ment and Mr. Farebrother's excruciating exposition ; and finally, by the triumph of the insurers in the redress they have thus obtained, Their triumph is also our triumph, for we headed the advance which led them to their final victory. Nay more—we have thus demonstrated what the power of a single journal honestly and fearlessly con ducted, can effect for numbers too scattered to become themselves immediately apprized of the steps necessary to the protection of their own interests, a fact which will not be lost upon all those it may concern. These truths are se incontrovertible and acknowledged to us spontaneously by so many hOnourable men, that our justification we repeat is most full and 'complete. The remarkable feature of the meeting is that 500 or 600 persons should pass over the proofs, the direct and positive proofs, that 299,000/. less 15,000/. had been taken out of the pockets of the rightful claimants and given to others, with scarcely a comment, diverting their thoughts to criminations and recriminations, and financial calculations that amounted to nothing, while the strong, the important fact escaped. The mismanagement, the gross misma nagement, was not even denied. The reason was, that al looked to retaining the Office at Norwich, and turned their expectations towards the future, having nothing to hope from the past. We must, however, say a word or two in fair and manly expostulation to Messrs.Parehrother and Steward. The Alderman complained in no very measured terms of a sentence or two in our remarks on one of the Lon don Committee's Reports. We are astonished to find, on referring to the ar ticle, that the Alderman was guilty of dividing the paragraph, and, by so doing, of totally perverting the expressions we used. Mar ! Reader! how passion led Mr. Farebrother away from justice. He read as follows—and observe, what Le read was a comment made by us on the London Committee's Report : " That Mr. Farebrother should accept lucrative em ployment from a body whose concerns he was entrusted to investigate, seems as utterly at variance with the object of his appointment and as inconsistent with the delicacy of a man of nice honour, as that such inquiry should commence with a round of dinners given by the Secretary and his Directors to the examiners." Here was no charge against him. Here, however, he stopped to introduce language we shall not characterise. Had he read on these are the words that follow :- 6' We have heard both rumours, but we can scarcely believe either of them to be true. If Mr. Steward has been the extravagant and unqualified eulogist of Mr. Bignold'—his tone is certainly very much changed since his appointment. These gentlemen are the guar dians of their own honour, and will doubtless vindi cate themselves from aspersions which must discredit them entirely with the insurers." Now, then, we put it to any . honourable man, to. Mr. Farebrbther himself, whether he can, with the shadow of a shade of rectitude or justice, accuse us of imputing to him dishonourable conduct? - On the contrary, we expressed our doubts and denied these " aspersions," and we put it in the Alderman's power immediately to have extinguished any such report. We shall corro borate our statement by the following facts : The paragraph read by Mr. Steward from the Nor wich Mercury, and which he urged gave rise to the misstatement in the Report of the London Committee, was not our Report. We copied it from the Norfolk Chronicle ; and the moment the Editor of this paper saw the comment of the London Committee, though in no way concerned, he wrote to Mr. Wise, the only one of that body with whom he had then had any communica tion, and told that gentleman it was not true nor scarcely possible that either at that meeting, or any other, Mr. Steward should have done that 'with which they charged him. This Mr. Wise assured us he personally told Mr. Steward subsequently in'Norwich.. . . Mr. Steward suggested that we might have applied to him. 'Mr. S. states truly that we have had friendly intercourses ; and we add, not only on this, but on other subjects of nearer personal interest to that gentleman, and he had ever found us most cheerfully willing to for ward his objects. A private note from him would in stantly have produced reparation—a conclusion to which our article even pointed in its last words. If apology be due to eithdr party, we submit to the reader whether it be due from us who employed the language we b'ave cited towards the Examiners, or towards us from the Examiners. We never desire to be judges in our own cause. We leave the judgment to honourable men. We trust we know too well what is due to our own self respect, to bandy terms of abuse with Mr. Fare brother, but if to either of us belongs the distinction of " Base Slanderer," which ho so liberally bestowed upon us, we freely submit that it would be more justly applied to one who could misrepresent, garble, and suppress an adver sary's words, and then endeavour to fasten a calumnious censure upon him. We are willing to believe that Mr. Farebrother did not see or sufficiently consider the plain import of the terms upon which he commented, and if he have the frank and gentlemanly spirit for which we have hitherto given him credit, he will promptly recal an expression so hasty and unbecoming. If not, he places us on an elevation for whence we can the more proudly look down upon and forgive him. Mr. Bi g nold says " he shudders" at our presence ; and well he may, when his altered state compels him to remember that to his own obduracy be owes the severe chastisements, truth, duty, and self-defence, have com pelled us to inflict upon him. If he go back to our earliest and most friendly recommendations, he must now be feelingly persuaded that their adoption would have prevented the heaviest blows from every side that have fallen upon him. All this is now past, and we should be as desirous as Mr. Bignold himself can be to rid him of sensations at once so miserable and so per manent as those he has described. During our long and painful practice of defending public rights, e xperience has but too often enforced upon us the admiration and the exercise of that mag nanimity which can alone eradicate such deep impres sions, which conveys a balm so sovereign to a wounded mind, which bath often withheld and withholds us now, by the conviction that " The rarer action lies In virtue than in vengeance." In this vicinity are kept a pack of stag hounds, a pack of fox hounds, and a pack of harriers —so that a lover of the sport has a t a ll t i mes a d a y's diversion within his reach. Mr. Rothschild's hounds have had several good runs since their commencement, but on three occasions h ave un f or t unate ly succe eded in - killing the stag.—Aylesbury News.— PRICE sd. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR,—In reading the Times Paper of last Fri day week, I noticed a " paragraph" alluding to the " Chartists" ; in London having chan ge d t h e i r name into th a t o f "-Old Friends," and also intimating that they held meetings in different Lodges in the City of London for political and unconstitutional purposes against the Government, which is evident from the allusions there made, that some person or persons wish, if possible, to do some injury to the " Society of 'Old Fri6ds," which " institution" has only for its object the public weal. I beg therefore most respectfully, through the medium. of your valuable Journal, to deny such in famous slander. I have had the honour of ,being Secretary to one of the Lodges of " Old Friends" (of which there are sixteen) for many years. We have certain signs and secrets for initiating mem bers, which are similar to the Freemasons, and of which many belonging to that respectable and " ancient order" are our members. The Society in question was established in Aug. 1818, and is known by the name of the " Improved Order of Old Friends," which far excels many So cieties of the present day, in that it is based upon the best and surest foundations, both as to our God, our Queen, and our country. neligion and loyalty is our basis, which, thank God, in so great a mea sure distinguish .our highly favoured land. We are not a political body—nor do we suffer any discussion relative to religious or political matters in our Lodges. Our meetings from time to time are for benevolent purposes in relieving distressed members, and making provision for sickness and death. The insertion of the above in your respected paper, will no doubt, Sir; cause many pled and charitable men to rally round our " Stan dard," and enlist themselves under our" Banner." I remain Sir, your most obedient servant, JOHN SKUDDER, Secretary, No. 1, Baldwin-street, City-road, 30th Nov., 1839. SPORTING IN TELLIGENCE. TATTERSALDS.-MONDAY.

DEAFNESS AND DEFECTIVE VISION.-At length those dreadful maladies arc completely obviated, without to►ture and serious risk by medical treatment. The Messrs. S. and B. Solemons, Opticians and Aurists to their Majesties the King and Queen of Hanover, and their Royal Highnesses the Princesses Augusta and Sophia. &c. &c., have constructed a Voice Conductor, and newly invented Spectacle Lenses, which will be found in most extreme cases to effect instant relief. It is seldom or ever that an invention of striking merit is laid before the pub lic that ignorant pretenders do not start forth. In no case is this more observable than in Ireland, as well as England, bypersons who not only assume the name of Solomons, but actually as having a connexion with their house. Numerous ladies and gentlemen are daily calling who hare been misled by these pretenders, and who have made purchases of their spurious imitations, which they term Voice-Conductors and Spectacles, supposing them to be the Messrs. Solomons' invention, which not only proved to be useless, but pro ductive of very ill effects. The Messrs. Solomons do not employ any agents or travellers. Their improvements in the materials are secret to themselves, and are solely con fined to their establishments, 39, Albemarle -street, and 96, Cheapside.

ABSURDITY OF THE OLD PLAN 0E POST CIIARGES.—OakhiII and Axbridge are both eighteen miles from Bristol ; a letter, four ounces weight, sent by post from that city to Oakhill, is charged one penny, but to Axbridge the tax is six shillings and eightpence. —Somerset Gazette. A RUSSIAN CRCESUS.—M. de Tiszkiewies, the richest landholder in Russian Lithuania, died a short time since. The St. Petersburg papers inform us that he has left to his three sons 2,000 villages, con taining more than 60,000 serfs, and in ready money 10,000,000 of crowns, and that it was this gentleman who was said to have refused the band of his daughter to Duke Alexander of Wirtemberg, who afterwards mar ried the Princess Marie d'Orleans. His daughter has since married Prince Sapicha, and had 2,000,000 crowns for her dowry. A letter from St. Petersburg says : " This gentleman's property comprised forty-six exten sive domains, on which there are 20,000 families of pea santry, reckoning in them 60,000 males. In money he possessed .56,000,000 Polish florins, equal in Erench money to 21,600,000 f. He had bad six children, of whom three sons, besides his daughter, survive him. The eldest, according to the laws of Lithuania, inherits the whole of this immense wealth. He, however, has assigned one-fourth to he equally divided between his two brothers." PROLIFIC Sows,—Mr. Roadnight, of Cud dington, has a. sow in his possession, of the " anti- Malthusian" breed, which last week brought forth the unusual number of nineteen live pigs ! Strange as this ma y seem, it was exceeded by a sow which belonged to Mr. James Wheeler, .jun., of this town, and which, at two following litters,. brought forth 40 pigs -21 and 19. —Aylesbury Arms. Sin--I am far from joining in those fierce invectives which sonic persons are in the habit of. launching upon anything in the shape of a policeman. In large towns a police force is absolutely' needed, and under proper re strictions cannot but prove a benefit. But the case is very different when the question is, whether such a force shall be extended throughout the whole of the rural districts. It would he just as absurd as to talk of ex tending gaslights through the length and breadth of the land ; there is as little need of the one as the other. It lareald, no doubt, be dc , irable to some few compelled at thees to traverse lonely places at night, to have the trees and hedges studded with variegated lamps ; and if there were a rural police traversing our highways and byways, and scampering over hedges and ditches, there might be some turnip-tops savd, and a few hen-roosts the less robbed ; but would the end he at all answerable to the means? Would it not, in either case, be an enormous outlay of public money for a very trifling, trumpery benefit Such great preparation for so little purpose, would b e lik e using a sledge hamm er t o kill flies. This opinion, as to the non-necessity of a rural police, has not been at all shaken by a careful perusal of a work, entitled " The First Report of the Commissiotrs appointed to inquire as to the best me an s of establish ing an efficient Constabulary Force in the counties of England and Wales." .jay opinion has been strengthened and c on fi rme d thOre:23 7 - It has forced upon some the conviction, not only ,bat such a force is not needed, but that it would be a grxt i, evil, a state engine, wherewith to crush the rights aid ;.: berties of the poor. Of this more anon. At present shall content myself with showing that no case is made put for the requirement of such a force. In this Report of Messrs. Shave Lefevre, Charles Rowan, and Edwin Chadwick, there is an immense muss of statistical evidence touching various subjects of our social condition ; but from which no conclusion can be drawn, that I see, warranting the necessity of a rural police. This Report, it is evident from the manner in which the questions are framed—leading questions to elicit the required answers—is concocted to establish a foregone conclusion. The three Commissioe'ers had made up their, minds as to the propriety of a ruCal, or rather a national police, and then set to work to gaa.vier such information as might best substantiate their pre conceived notions ; so that, with their power to collect the fitting materials, and to select from these, rejecting all that teas iniwical to their views, or that did not con firm them strongly enough, they had the amplest scope to make out a plausible case. With all these advantages, of which they doubtless made the best use, let us see how far they have suc ceeded. It would be impossible here to follow the whole of the evidence ; to do so would make a larger book than the Report itself ; we will take one part as a sample of the rest. Among the different classes of persons examined by the Commissioners, is that of com mercial travellers ; a class with whom, if with any, such a scheme must be in good repute ; and who, thezrefore, would not be backward to give it all the sanction Zhey possibly could. I refer more especially to the evidence of these corn• mercial gents., because parts of it have been given in. " Chambers' Journal," and in other publications, as, being strongly confirmatory of the necessity for a rura' police. It is quite clear that these said gentlemen have a particular interest in the matter. If they were asked as to the expediency of having lamps along the principal lines of road, their answers might readily be guessed. "0, by all means ! it would be of the great est benefit ; nay, it is absolutely necessary that there should be gas lights from John-o-Groat's-house to Land's-end !" Considerin g , then, how fitted these men must be from personal experience, to give evi dence on the subject, and what valuable auxi liaries their own interests in the matter would na turally make them to the Commissioners, it appears somewhat strange that only three of this class were ex amined, at least there are only three whose examination appears in the Report. Whether more than these three were catechised, and their answers, not being exactly suited, were suppressed, deponeth saith not. In the absence of more and better testimony, we will scru tinize a little that with which we are favoured. In the first place comes Mr. J. H.' Elliott, whose answers to the leading questions put to him amount to no more than this : " I have travelled twenty years in the southeastern countries ; generally travel by day; think it would be imprudent to travel about the country with much money after dusk ; would rather travel before light in the morning than late at night ; the most dangerous time in the country is not at midnight, but about 7 or 8 o'clock in the evening, when working people are about ; farmers go home three or four together. If a robbery has been committed, it creates the.greatest alarm throughout the district."—(p. 87.) Here is - a man - who has travelled for twenty years, yet not once during the whole of that period has he been attacked, or in any way molested ; for, of course, Übe had been, it would be recorded. Thus all his 20 yeurs' travel ling experience can furnish of insecurity and danger, is, that he would rather travel in the day-time, Owl by night, as who would not. He does not fear the mid night thief, not he ; it is the working people returning home, after their day's toil, whom he fears. They rogues, indeed ! It would be well if he and his bro ther outriders were half as honest. The farmers, it seems, wait for each other at the public-house, and like to go home three or four together. To be sure, they prefer company to a solitary ride ; the diStance seems shortened while the prices of wheat and barley and oats are canvassed. As to the circumstaece of a robbery creating a great sensation throughout a whole district, methinks that is a pretty good proof of its rarity, es things of daily or common occurrence do not usually ea• cite much surprise. Mr. Thomas Burt, the next examined, concurs with Mr. Elliott, that he would rather travel by sunshine than by moonshine. His evidence, however, is certainly stronger as regards the insecurity of public roads, He states thus : " I was shot at some time ago, near Harpenden ; the shot missed me ; but the report of the pistol startled the horse I had, which was a blood horse ; he gal loped away, and I did not attempt to stop him."— (p. 89 .) With this exception he passed through his ten years' peregrinations unmolested. Acording to this gentleman's opinion— " England, in respect to roads, is far inferior to most of the Continental nations ; following next after Italy and Spain."—(p. 90.) Mr. Lindsay Cole's six years' tour enables him to say ditto to Mr. Elliott. In answer to a question as to the state of security or insecurity of the roads in Yorkshire, he states thus : " A large portion ot it is as bare and desolate as Salis bury Plain ; and I found travelling there, with money or anything valuable, attended with danger. I cannot give a better conception of the state of the country, than the fact, that the farmers in the neighbourhood of Leeds frequently waited for each other's company to re turn home after market. When I have been travel ling with sums of money, I have more than once thought that had I been attacked, I should have stood but little chance of saving my money, or of recovering it after , wards."—(pp. 90, 91.) Indeed, sapient Mr. Cole ! so, you cannot give a better conception of the insecurity or roads than that farmers like to enliven their way homeward by a social jog trot, after having had a social glass together. What a dreadful conception ! And then you have more than once thought that had you been attacked, you might lose your money, and, what is worse, never get it again. So long as danger thus exists only in the fancy, there will be no need of a police. This is a sample of the evidence by which the neces sity for a rural police is sought to be established. Out of the large body of commercial travellers we have th e examination 'of only three given to us ; and the only thing approaching to ought like a reason for such a force is, that the blood'norse of one-gentlawast-toftir fry } ` t. at the report of a pistol and galloped off. With this ex ception a total of 36 years' travelling through different parts of the country is passed in absolute security with. out the slightest molestation. What stronger argument than this can there, or need there, be to show the non necessity for the proposed force ? How weak must be the cause that relies on evidence such as this for sup port ! It will be perceived that I have avoided any discus sion regarding the evil use that might be m a d e o f a centralized t constabulary oert le land, forcemould . ; ‘Nhich, lik e a h uge web uld co nvey t h e s li g h test vibration at any extreme to on e common centre, thus giving to some bloated desp o t, ever wakeful to pounce str stretched •d over upon his prey, the power to seize our rights and liberties and privileges within his murderous clutch. Limited as I am in space, I have confined my remarks to one branch of the evidence by which the efficacy and need of this jumping - over - hedges-and-ditch es force is sought to be established. Bearing in mind that the whole burthen of proof rests upon those w h o conten d for the adoption o f t hi s rura l police, and seeing how contemptibly weak some of the assumed reasons are, we may fairly, as far as we have examined, come to a verdict of not proven. In a future letter I purpose to show how fatal to our liberties, how especially grinding upon the poor, such a farce would most probably be ; and this 1 shall mainly do by extracts from the Commissioners' Report, certify ing how baneful its operations have been on the limit e d scale on which it has been already tried.

This arrangement, it is said, will be made for three reasons ; the first, in consequence of this city being a considerable distance from the Welsh " Chartist" districts, and, therefore, less likely to at tract the visit of large numbers of Chartists at the time of trial, an objection from which Monmoutb, Brecon, and Shrewsbury are not exempt ; secondly, that Hereford being a quiet inland town, is more eligible, as being more likely to peacefully witness political trials of such great interest, than are the ports of Gloucester or Bristol ; and, thirdly, on account of the prisoners them selves,as well as the Chartist body throughout the coun try, who would scarcely believe that they could obtain a fair trial in Monmouthshire or Breconshire. The London Papers state that " the Special Commission for the trial of Mr. Frost and the other Chartists now in confinement in the county of Monmouth, will be opened in that town by Lord Chief Justice Tyndal, Mr. Baron Parke, and Mr. Justice Williams, on the 10th of December. The Court will sit for three or four days for the purpose of receiving the bills of in dictment, and will then be adjourned till the 31st. of December. The adjournment will be necessary, because, according to the 7th Anne, c. 21, s. 16, all prisoners who are put on -their trial for high treason, or misprision of treason, mustlae furnished with a copy of the indictment, a list of the jurors, and of the wit nesses who are to be called against them, at least ten days previous to the trial."—Hereford Times. (From the Merlin of Newport.) Mr. Powell was recently informed, by a gentleman residing on the hills, of a conversation that passed be tween two women—wives of two men in the employ of Mr. Powell, at one of his collieries, in the parish of Gellygare, Glamorganshire. On Monday morning, the 4th instant, one of the women said to the other, " I want some coal, and I don't know what I shall do, now the colliery is stopped." " Oh," said the other, "go and take some coal from off the trams, on the tram-road.' In reply, " What will Mr. Powell say, if he should hear of it." " Oh, never mind him ; the Gellygare Colliery will be my husband's to-morrow." " Then what will you do with Mr. Powell ?" " Why he may come and cut coal, if he likes." On Sunday night last, the town of Monmouth suffered great excitement from an unexpected visit of Colonel Considine, Major Armstrong, and another officer from Newport, who, upon their instant arrival, sent for the Mayor, and repaired to the County Gaol, where they ordered the guard to be doubled, and a picquet of Lan cers to be ready for duty for the night. Guesses were hazarded as to the cause of these instructions, but the general opinion was that an attempt would be made on the town during the night, and great alarm was felt by the nervous in consequence. The authorities main tained the most dignified silence, and the inhabitants were left to their fears, fancies, and exaggerations, which at such seasons of disquietude are so rife. It has since transpired that the preparations alluded to were entirely precautionary, without the anticipation of any definite period of emergency, and were adopted by instructions from Government. Each of the prisoners, eommitted on the charge of high treason in our county gaol, has received a no tice from Mr. Maule, Solicitor to the Treasury, stat ing the day of the forthcoming gaol deliver y, a n d t h at on his own application, Counsel, to the number of two, will be assigned by Government for his derence. An address, signed by upwards of four hundred of tha inhabitants of Monmouth, comprising the names of the Mayor and Town Council, the Clergymen of every denomination, and of nearly all the gentry and respecta ble tradesmen of the town, was yesterday forwarded to our late respected Mayor, expressive of the high sense which the parties entertain of the recent services of Mr. Phillips, in his trying circumstances, and also of condolence under the injuries which he sustained in the performance of his duty.
