VOTE OF THANKS TO CAPTAIN STACK, LIEUT. GREY, AND THE OTHER OFFICERS AND MEN OF THE GALLANT 45TH, FOR THEIR CONDUCT IN DE FENDING THE TOWN ON THE MORNING OF THE RIOTS.

(See resolutions.) The Worshipful the Mayor, Thomas Hawkins, Esq., in the chair. 15 en Ounces, Six Rates of Postage.

Postmasters should bear in mind, however, that after the First Ounce in the annexed Scale, no distinction is made between the Ounce and a Fraction of an Ounce. A Letter, for instance, Which turns the Ounce weight, is liable to Four Rates of Postage ; and a Letter weighing a Fraction above Tw o Ounces, is liable to Six Rates of Postage, and so on. This Regulation, however, will not affect the mode of charging French Rates on Letters to or from France, and through France, as the present system of charging French Rates on such Letters must continue in force, viz., a Single French Rate for each Quarter of an Ounce, exclusive. The Single Rate of Inland Postage on all General Post. Let ters, transmitted between places in the United Kingdom, will be the uniform Rate of 4d., except in those cases where the Letters are at present subject to lower Rates than the Sum specified, and except in the case of Foreign Letters transmitted by packet, on which the Rates of Inland Postage at present taken must be continued, although the charge must be cal culated in both cases by weight, as before mentioned, and not ,by Enclosures. No Inland Rate of Postage will be taken on Letters between the British West Indies and the United Kingdom, or on tho se between Gibraltar, Malta, the lonian Islands, and the United Kingdom. This last description of Letters must, how ever, be addressed " via Falmouth," .)r they will otherwise be come subject to the present Inland Rates, as they will be for warded through France, and be treated as Foreign Letters. As the rate to and from North America already is an uni form rate of One Shilling for a Single Letter, the rate of Post age on Letters conveyed by Packet between the United King dom and all the British Colonies (with the exception of Let ters to the East Indies, which are to be charged when they are sent or received via Falmouth 2s. 6d. as at present,) will be an uniform single rate of One Shilling, advancing on all Let ters exceeding half an ounce according to the scale of Weight already laid down. No Penny Postage will hereafter be charged upon Letters Passing through the General Post except on those which are franked; Franks, however, will still be liable to the local rates of a Penny or Twopence, as at present, when passing through Penny Posts in the Country, or the local Posts of London and Dublin. The additional rates heretofore chargeable on Letters con veyed by the route of the Menai and Conway Bridges, that of Mili"erd and Waterford, and the additional Halfpenny en Let ters conveyed by Mails in Scotland, will be abolished. No Letter which is not franked, or which shall not be either despatched by, or addressed to a Public Department on the Public Service shall be forwarded when above the weight of Sixteen Ounces, with the exception of those from Foreign Countries or the Colonies, addressed to the United Kingdom, whether they shall arrive by Packet or by private Ship, and Deeds and Parliamentary Proceedings when addressed to the Colonies to be forwarded by Packet. The Letters will be delivered according to their address, but at the rates of Postage to which they will be liable by the scale before given. With re spec t t o Deeds and Parliamentary Proceedings, they will be treated according to the existing Regulations, and will be charged with the rates they are at present liable to, except where those rates are higher than they would be under the new system. Parliamentary Petitions above Sixteen Ounces within the United Kingdom will be treated in a similar manner. Let ters evidently intended to be franked, but which have become liable to Postage by wrong date, &c. &c., must be forwarded, even if above the weight of Sixteen Ounces, but at the rates already laid down. All Letters exceeding the weight of an Ounce (with the ex ception of Letters addressed to France) must have the Postage paid in advance. Should the Postage not be paid in advance, the Letters must be charged with double the rates to which they would otherwise be liable. The Charge on Letters transmitted by private Ship between the United Kingdom and Places beyond Sea (with the excep tion of the Channel Islands. the Isle of Man, and Places within. the limits of the East India Company" Charter) will also be taken by weight according to the scale before given. The Single rate of Postage on such Letters will be Bd. when posted or delivered at the port of departure or arrival, and Is. when pasted or delivered at any other Place within the United King dom, These rates of Bd. and Is. will apply also to Letters be tween this Country and China. The rates on Letters conveyed by private S hi p s between the 'sited th Kingdom and Countries c om p rised within the limits of East lndia Company's Charter will be the present uniform rate for Sea Postage of 2d. outwards, and 4d. inwards, for Letters not exceeding the weight of three ounces, when posted ,or delivered at the Ports of departure or arrival respectively, beyond that weight an uniform rate of ls. per ounce will are be take n a s Sea Pos ta g e. When, however, such Letters Posted or delivered at any other Place than the. Port of arrival and departure, they will be liable to the charge of Inland Post age, calculated according to the new scale of weight, in addition to the Sea Postage before mentioned. Letters transmitted by private Ships between Places within the Vnited Kingdom must be treated in the same manner as Ge neral Post Letters forwarded by the regular Mails between such Places, and charged with the same rates of Postage according to the scale of weight before laid down. Letters conveyed by private Shins between Great Britain and the Channel Islands, and the Isle of Man must be treated in a similar manner. All Letters that cannot be forwarded owing to their exceed ing the prescribed weight must be sent to the Dead Letter Clfiace in accordance with the existing regulations. By Command, W. L.

JOIATENT BRANDY VERSUS COGNAC. —lf any evidence we're wanting, that the old prejudices in favour of French Brandy over the English Spirit are fast wear ing away, and that the public are disci.' - ainating and judging fol themselves as to the respective merits of the two articles, such evidence will be found in the simple fact that, whilst BETT'S PATENT BRANDY has experienced a sale, within the present year, exceeding, by nearly 50 per cent., that of any corre sponding preceding period, there has been a considerable falling off in the consumption of Foreign Brandy. If the comparison be made with the Brandy establishments of this Country, it will be found that, after all their lofty pre tensions to public support, they have dwindled into comparative insignificance ; the entire trade of the largest and most pow erful of these establishments not having amounted to the mere increase in J. T. Betts and Co.'s sales within the same space of time ; a necessary consequence of their total inability to produce an article with the slightest pretensions to approach it in quality.

" 0 Lord, thou living God, have mercy upon us and destroy this abominable idol of the Mass. In the worship ping of Baal, Ashtaroth, Molock, Baal Peor, Melcomb, Dagon, the Queen - of Heaven, Saturn, Jupiter, Juno, Venus, Priapus, and such other idols, was never so great a blasphemy and dishonour to God, as is the setting up of this broken bread to be worshipped for God." " If it is not lawful to alter a man's testimony, how dare ye to presume to alter and change the blessed testament and heavenly will of the King of Glory ?" " Christianity, the kingdom and church of God, have but one creed, one faith, one hope, and one way ; but human sects and churches have a variety of creeds, hopes, faiths, and ways, each suited to its notions, interests, and party, as ordained by their several heads ; their customs, ordinances, and creeds all differing from each other, and from the pure creed of Christ; this also proves that theirs are not Chris tianity, but sectarianism, for the creed of Christ, if they were Christians, would suit them all." " In 1314, in the reign of Edward 11., some students of Oxford maintained in their disputations, certain opinions concerning the Trinity and creation of the world, which being brought before the University were condemned as heretical " " These opinions being wholly founded on scholastic notions, were stifled in the birth, because the people understood nothing of such matters. But it was not the same with Wichliff's doctrine, published towards the close of the fourteenth century, in the same University.' As this is the most important ecclesiastical affair of the fourteenth century, it will be necessary to show these opi nions, and the zeal wherewith they were received by some and condemned by ethos." These are the chief articles maintained by Wickliff in hia writings and sermons. 1. That the Eucharist, after consecration, is not the real body of Christ, but only its emblem or figure. 11. That the Church of Rome is no more the bead of the Universal Church than any other Church, nor was there any greater power given to St. Peter than to the, rest of the Apostles. 111. That the Pope of Rome has no more jurisdiction in the exercise of the keys than any other priest, These opinions, maintained by Wickliff with great viva city, were immediately espoused by great numbers, not only among the students of Oxford, but the great men az Court, particularly the Duke of Lancaster, and the Lord Percy, Earl Marshal, declared for him. Gregory XI. being informed that these articles were publicly maintained at Oxford, despatched an order to the Archbishop of Canterbury, and the Bishop of London, to apprehend and examine Wickliff, and send the depositions to Rome. But it was difficult for these two Prelates fully to execute these orders, the Duke of Lancaster, and the Earl Marshal, having openly declared they would not suffer Wickliff to be imprisoned. The two Prelates therefore were contented with summoning Wickliff before them, in St. Paul's Church, where there was a vast concourse of people to hear the examination. The Duke of Lancaster and the Lord Percy accompanied the Doctor, assuring him there was no danger, and that he might make his defence with courage against men, who were mere dolts to him.' Here is a short dialogue which passed between these two Lords and the Bishop of London, upon Wiekliff's account. The Lord Percy bidding the Doctor sit down, the Bishop of London opposed it, and commanded him to stand up, but the Earl Marshal would not let him Bishop of London.—Lord Percy, if I could have guessed you would have played the master here, I would •have pre vented your coming. The Duke of Lancaster—Yes, he shall play the master here tor all you. The Lord Percy.—Wickliff, sit down ; you havo need of a seat, for you have many things to say. Bishop—h is unreasonable .that a clergyman, cited be fore his Ordinary, should sit down during his answer. He shall stand. Duke of Lancaster.--My Lord Percy is in the right ; and for you, my Lord Bishop, who is grown so"prourl and arrogant, I will take care to humble your pride, and not only yours, but that of all the prelates in England. Thou de pendest upon the credit of thy relations, but far from being able to help thee, they shall have enough to do to support themselves. - Bishop.—l place no confidence either in my relations, or in any man else, but in God alone, who will give me the boldness to speak the truth. These are the most remarkable particulars concerning Wickliff and his doctrine before the deposing of Richard 11. But I must not forget to add that c ertain Bohemian students, being at Oxford when Wickliff began to publish his doctrine, they carried it into their own country, where it spread wonderfully. Page 480, Rapin Extracts. It betokens us rot ‘. degenerated, nor drooping to a fatal decay"—that the windows of the engravers of our metropolis now exhibit this splendid portion of history, in which our admiration of the display is not so much excited by the rich hues of his robes of state—of the star that dazzles at his breast (indicating his high order) which, though like " The gem that, twinkling, hangs from Beauty's ears"_ nut the classic outline of countenance of a Kemble, or even a Canning, or the graceful deportment of either; but the sublimity of the picture is to see him in the " spring of prime," and " Wickliff sit down," using power in its loftiest attribute to shield the weak. This was the rise of Protestantism in Europe, and eventually in England. The genius of "might and majesty," Milton, thus em bellished his sepulchre—" Had it not beer, the obstinate perverseness of our prelates against the divine and ad mirable spirit of Wickliff, to suppress him as a schismatic and innovator, perhaps, neither the Bohemian Husse and Jerome, no, nor the name of Luther or of Calvin, bad been ever known, the glory of reforming all our neighbours had been completely ours. But as the obdurate clergy de meaned the matter we are become the latest and the back wardest scholars, of whom God offered to have made us the teachers: I give this opinion, I never found cause to think that the tenth part of learning stood or fell with the clorgy."—Areopagetica.

" But my motives and my principles are, I presume "to hope, worthy the protection of my Country, and its Established Church ; and, under the guidance of Heaven, I look to both. For the condescension and uniform patronage which I have received, I shall ever feel the most lively gratitude; the Prince Regent, 50 copies, 1,0001. I trust that it will support me in the prosecution of my labours, will protect me from the insidious influence of calumny, and the more daring violence of malice, envy, and all uncharitableness Mr. Bellamy's Reply to the Quarterly Review. Our best recollections of him awaken; the genius of Byron alights upon In-- " There too he saw (whate'er he may be now) A Prince, the Prince of Princes, at the time, With fascination in his very bow, And full of promise, as the spring of prime. Though royalty was written on his brow, He had then the grace too, rare in every clime, Of being, without alloy of fop or beau, A finish'd gentleman from top to toe." Don Juan, Canto 12 Ye, whose art can immortalize, give us the companion to the " Wickliff" of our day as—" the finished gentleman from top to toe"—not even so, rather in that " flow of soul" with his people—the likeness of himself which he presented on a banner to the Kensington King's Lodge of " The Odd Fellows of England." Give us him by his library-table—no counsellors around—" alone in his glory," finishing the draft, by which he so ennobled his name and nation. Catholic Popish Dinner at Cork.—Mr. O'Connell rose, and said, that it had been his fortune, upon many occa sions, since the happy accession of the present Sovereign to the throne, to call for a full bumper to pledge ber health and happiness ; but on no eccasioa upon which he had that high honour bad he felt himself disposed to say that the occasion was suitable to the dignity of the toast.— ( Hear, hear.) The present, however, differed from all others to which he referred, and it struck his judgment that the Sovereign herself might condescend to receive something of pleasure from a toast thus offered in the sin cerity of their hearts, by such a company as that by which he was surrounded.—(Loud cheers.) He stood then amongst the dignitaries of the Romish Church, whose •otaries were now more numerous than any other religious persuasion in her dominions.---( Hear, hear.)—The Morn ing Sun, October 24, 1839.

' Byron, in his letter, writes " Mr. Bowles's extreme sensi bility reminds me of a circumstance which occurred on board of a frigate in which I was passenger and guest of the captain for a considerable time. The surgeon on board, a very gentlemanly young man, and remarkably able in his profession, wore a wig. Upon this ornament of his person, he was extremely tenacious. As naval jests are sometimes a little rough, his brother officers made oc casional allusions to this delicate appendage of the doctor's person. One day a young Lieutenant, in the course of a facetious discussion, said, " Suppose now, doctor, I should take off your hat." " Sir," replied the doctor, " I shall talk no longer with you you grow scurrilous." He would not even admit so near an approach as to the hat which )rotected it. Some Parliaments that we hare known in days of old, that we have in "our mind's eye, Horatio" with a locality to a " college, " and to which we think the witty distich would equally attach, and we would give it application, but .we fear, lest in a " certain quarter" —we should run the risk " you grow scurrilous"—therefore we forbear.

A. meeting of the shareholders of this Society was convened yesterday, at the Crown and Anchor Tavern, in order to receive the report of the Committee ap pointed to consider the state of the Society's affairs, and for other purposes. The Chair was taken at 12 o'clock by Mr. Bulwer, who was surrounded by a numerous body of influential gentlemen connected with the institution ; a consider able number of policy holders occupied the benches placed in the room. Mr. PoNTirEx, a solicitor, and the Chairman of the Reporting Committee, opened the business of the meet ing, by commenting at some length, and in very strong terms, on the mismanagement to which the Norwich Union-office had been for many years subjected, owing to the undue influence exercised over its affairs by the existing Directory, and the Secretary, Mr. Bignold. It would be foreign to the purpose to enter into the various topics of Mr. Pontifex's speech, nor would it at all ad vance the interests of the shareholders if even the purport of that gentleman's observations were to be here recorded. He terminated his address by read ing a- report which, for reasons that may be easily gathered from what subsequently occurred, is also suppressed, seeing that the whole of the persons present unanimously rejected it, and adopted a more amicable as well as a most judicious proceeding. It may be ob served, however, that this report embodied some very serious charges against Mr. Bignold, and the Directors of the Company (one of whom, by the way, was stig matised as being nothing more than a dancing master) ; and it also exhibited the great discrepancy which ex isted between the statement furnished by the officers of the Society of the assets, and that which was drawn up by the examiners appointed to calculate the real value of the securities and funds of which the property of the Norwich Union is composed. Mr. Pontifex concluded by moving that the report be received. Mr. JONES, of Bristol, next claimed the attention of the meeting, having been deputed by a body of po licy holders residing in Gloucestershire to attend the present assemblage, and to support the motion for ex pelling the Secretary and Directors, and for removing the seat of business from Norwich to London. Mr. Jones entered at some length into a statement of the corres pondence which had passed between him and the actuary t.f the Society, 16years ago, on the subject of the impro vident manner in which the affairs of the Company were managed, no less than 16 per cent. being charged as the cost attendant upon conducting the Life Assurance Department. It did not appear, however, that this apparent enormity had deterred the complainant from continuing to pay up his annual premiums as they be came due, or that he had been thereby influenced to withdraw from all participation in the concern. Mr. Jones referred to some resolutions which were passed at meeting of the Bristol and Gloucestershire Policy holders, on the 19th instant, in which the dismissal of Mr. Bignold, and the removal of the Norwich office to London, were strongly advocated ; and, in conclusion, read a letter from a clergyman (a Mr. Parker) who, in order to prove the mal-administration complained of, entered into a comparison of the difference between the bonuses derived from the London Law and Clerical Life Assurance Office and the Norwich Union, much to the advantage of theforiner. • _ _ Mr. JAMES WOOD (of Bristol) expressed a strong hope that the present London Committee would not withdraw from their present labours, until the mal. administration con3plailied of had been entirely reme died, and the 'affairs of the Office placed on a sound and stable basis. Mr. GODSON, M.P., said that the Report of the Committee was placed before the meeting for its sanc tion, under a threat from the Chairman that in case of its rejection a Chancery suit would be the inevitable result. Now what was that Report? Nothing less than a demand upon the meeting to declare the Society insolvent, a Society, the capital of which amounted to 1,500,0001. The fact was, that the difference between the amount of assets put forward by the Office, and that stated by the examiners, arose from their calculations being framed upon two different tables of mortality ; .and so far was he from doubting the solvency of the Office, as to be of opinion that shareholders were now in a better position than ever. If the Report were agreed to its immediate effect would be to dissolve the Society, and he, for one, would never sanction a docu ment which was held out to them under such a threat as that of a Chancery suit in case it were rejected.— (Immense cheers followed the Hon. Gentleman's speech, which is very much condensed in this report.) Mr. R. LANGSTON said th'at the refusal to confirm the Report was justified principally by the assertion that the Society would be thereby declared insolvent. Well, if that were the fact, what harm would be done by this announcement,'seeing that it affected only the policy holders, and could produce no possible effect upon their credit, as they were not like a banking or a com mercial firm, whose credit depended upon good or evil report ? The Report was a good and valid document, and as such he was ready to maintain and support it. Mr. ROGERS argued upon the fallacy of the charges brought against Mr. Bignold, the Secretary, and urged that the most serious case brought against that gentle. man was one of every day occurrence in matters of business, when the names of persons were introduced into deeds and securities as trustees, who never took any interest in the matter than as mere nominal agents. Mr. SABBEN, a deputy from the policy holders at Portsea, here asked a number of irrelevant questions, which had no bearing on the matter at issue. Mr. LEE, of Taunton, entirely agreed in the obser vations which fell from Mr. Godson, and observed, that the removal of the seat of business from Norwich would be act of felo de se. Mr. WELLS, the barrister, observed, that the threat of a suit in Chancery would alone induce him to with hold his support from the Committee. A suit to which 8,000 persons, the policy holders in the Norwich Union, were parties, would be endless. It was impos sible to confirm the Report, for it contained the elements of ruin to the Society, and was, in fact, a virtual pro posal to commit suicide. He wished, therefore, to frame and propose an amendment which would have the effect of reconciling the reports of the examiners and the Committee, and which would convince the.po liey holders who were about to attend at the general meeting summoned to be held at Norwich on the 26th inst., that it was'not the desire of the London branch of their Society to throw them themselves into Chancery. For this purpose he would propose that the following amendment be adopted in lieu of the original Report read by Mr. Pontifex, by which means the elements of an amicable arrangement would b e p repare d f or t h e en suing meeting .to profit by and carry into effect. Mr. Wells then proposed an amendment to the purport that the meeting feel thankful to the London Committee and the examiners for their exertions, but that they were of opinion that an amicable arrangement would be best calculated to avoid endless litigation, which would inevitably lead to the destruction of the Norwich Union Office, and the loss of the assured. Mr. WOODROFFE (of the Insolvent Debtors' Court) observed, that the Norwich Union Office, like many other establishments, had indiscreet friends amongst its supporters, and he did not hesitate to pronounce Mr. Pontifex a friend of this description, for in the address with which he had preceded the delivery of the Report before the meeting, he had done nothing less than de nounce the Society as a humbug, which held out delu sive promises and hopes to all persons in order to in duce them to insure in it. With respect to the threat of a suit in Chancery, he would be perfectly satisfied if Mr. Pontifex would give a pledge to the meeting that he never would consent to be the attorney who would file such a bill, and let him ask that gentleman whether he would give such a pledge. Mr. PONTIFEX—No — (Loud outcries, " Shame," Etc.)—and, moreover, I beg to say. that I will be the first to file such a bill unless the affairs of the Society are place on a firm and stable basis......lCries of " Shame.") Mr. WOODROFFE—Then, in fact, the case before the meeting is Pontifex versus Bignold. But, however, he would be satisfied if the Hon. Chairman of the London Committee would give a proof of his sincere desire to come to an amicable arrangement, by supporting toe amendinent of Mr. Wells. PoNTIFEX immediately gave the desired pledge by seco nding that amendment, which, after some Waller observations, was unanimously carried. • After some further discussion respecting the.necessity which existed that all who had attended the pmsent meeting should rep4ir to Norwich on the '26th i:nstant, to be present at the great as , emblage to be bald there, thanks were voted. to the Chairman, and• the policy holders dispersed at a very little short of six-o'clock. The MAYOR rose, and said, Gentlemen and fellow townsmen —We have met this day for the purpose of enabling the inhabitants to express their thanks to Cap tain Stack, and Lieut. - Grey, and the non-commissioned officers and men of the gallant 45th . , who .so nobly de fended Newport on the morning of the memorable 4th of November, and I am happy to see so numerous and respectable an assemblage. Gentlemen, under Provi dence, I believe we are indebted to those gallant men for our preservation.—(Hear, hear.) Had it not been for them, many of us would not have been here to-day. His Worship then read the requisition, and resumed his seat amidst the cheers of the assemblage. OCTAVIUS MORGAN, Esq., of Tredegar-park, rose to move the first resolution. The circumstances of the late insurrection are too well known to need any lengthened explanation from me. It certainly was a most unparalleled attempt—in all history I never read of its equal—(Hear)—for I never before heard of a band of such ruthless ruffians arming themselves to the teeth, and coming down from their mountain fastnesses to attack a quiet and peaceable town, when they were , not urged on by any poverty or want, or any oppression ; led on, too, I regret to stay, by men who were traitors not only to their Queen and country, but to their native town.—(Hear.) Gentlemen, I am sure I do not ex aggerate when I say that had it not been for the gallantry and devotion of the soldiery, your town would now have .been a heap of ruins, and the whole of England have been in a state of rebellion.----(Hear, hear.) The first providential circumstance in our favour was the tem pestuous state of the weather on that night, for had the ruthless multitude made the attack during the still hours of the night, the small portion of military here could only have defended one portion of the town, and the remainder would have been pillaged and destroyed ; nay more, the North of England would have been in rebellion, as iticame out in the evidence yes terday that the plot extended there, and the non-arrival of the Birmingham mail was to have been the signal for a general revolt. Gentlemen, I will not detain you longer than to read the resolution I have the honour to propose, as follows :—" 1. That the warmest thanks of the country are due to Captain Stack, Lieutenant Grey, Ensign Stack, and the non-commissioned officers and men of Captain Stack's company of her Majesty's 45th Regiment of Foot, for their gallant and steady conduct, in defeating and routing the large insurrectionary host of armed men by which the, town of Newport was at tacked, at an early hour on the morning of Monday, the 4th inst., with the treasonable intention of com mencing a revolution in the government ofthe country." THOMAS PROTIIEROE, Esq., of Malpas, rose to second the resolution and spoke as follows :—Before proceeding to the immediate subject of the resolution I will, by your permission, make a few remarks upon the character and causes of this insurrection—(Hear, hear)—espe. cially as I perceive many of the London newspapers are surprised at the secrecy with which it was concocted— a surprise into which the editors of the London papers, unacquainted as they must necessarily be witb the habits of our population, may easily fall, but which is no matter of surprise to those acquainted with the inhabitants of our mountainous districts, the causes of which I will endeavour to explain. Immediately after the repeal of the late combination laws, the moun• taineers established those baneful clubs among them called Trades' Unions, which were at first conducted openly, and without offence—men were suffered to join or not, and they remained unmolested. They were very soon, however, converted into secret associations, and a system of coercion and terrorism of the worst character was carried on throughout the country—the leaders and chief conspirators bearing the name of Scotch cattle. Outrages were perpetrated in the night and the system of terrorism became complete ; the wicked became possessed of the power, and the more moderate and better disposed were rendered powerless. —(Hear, hear.) Nay, so complete was this dreadful system, that no one dared to come forward and give evi dence against those who had committed outrages, though they knew perfectly well who they were.— ( Hear.) Shortly after this, a great advance of wages took place, but I am sorry to say that instead of turning this into a benefit and making provision for old age, it was made a means of demoralization—for instead of using their increased means providently, they have since spent as much of their time in the beer-house as at their work. A gentleman fully acquainted with these circum stances, Mr. Homfray, has given a statement of the wages paid them, which fully proves the state of corn.' fort in which they might live, and I may add that in one of my own collieries in October last my men earned without any extra labour, eight guineas.—(Hear, hear.) This, Mr. Mayor and Gentlemen, was the state of things when the Chartist agitation broke out—an agi tation having for its object massacre, rebellion, and plunder, disguised under the pretences of" peace, law, and order. The fact is known that there was a list of the proscribed gentry and of their houses 'which were marked for destruction. Their ulterior object was much mote extensive ; their plans have been disseminated throughout the kingdom ; and if their attempt had suc ceeded, even for only half a-day, the signal would have gone forth for similar insurrections throughout the country. I will not attempt to describe the attack on the Westgate. This, however, I will notice, that the lowest estimate of the number of the attack was 5,000 men, whilst the force opposed to them consisted of only twenty-eight privates, two non-commissioned officers;and Lieutenant Grey.—(Cheers.) Gentlemen, I cannot hut consider it as the duty of Government to put down Chartism. The present Government have put down Orange Lodges and Orange Processions, a n d sure l y it must be admitted that Chartist Lodges and Chartist Processions are much more dangerous. There is also another evil of scarcely less magnitude—l allude to the beer-houses. There it is that all the Chartist lodges have been held ; and I may say, that there is scarcely an instance of any great crime being committed in the country which has not originally been concocted in a beer-house. Mr. Protheroe was loudly cheered on resuming his seat. The resolution was passed unanimously. The Rev. J. COLES moved the second resolution, which was seconded by WM. WILLIAMS, Esq., and unanimously carried.--" 2. That the Mayor be requested to transmit to Captain Stack, Lieut. Grey, and Ensign Stack, a copy of the above resolution ; and that Captain Stack be requested to communicate the same to the non-commissioned officers and men of his company, at the earliest fitting opportunity he may have to do so." THOMAS JONES PHILLIPS, Esq., rose to move the third resolutton.--:." 3. That a copy of the first resolu tion be also transmitted by the Mayor to the Right Hon. the Marquis of Normanby, Secretary of State for the Home Department ; and to the Right Hon. Lord all, Commander of her Majesty's Forces." Mr. MORRISSON, in a f ew wor d s, secon d e d t h e reso lution, which was passed unanimously. R. H. T. PHELPS, Esq., moved the next resolution, and said—l have had the honour of knowing Captain Stack for some time, and his bravery is undoubted ; but when it is seen he commanded a company of striplings unused to the skill of veterans, too much credit cannot be given him for his admirable arrangements.— (Cheers.) It has been said that there were .5,000 armed men, but I believe 10,000 would be much nearer the number. Gentlemen, Chartism is an evil now knoWn to all, but an evil of which, I confess, until within the last fortnight, I understood very little ; but, to strike at the root of Chartism, you must do away with the beer-houses, for they appear to have been the nest in which Chartism has been reared—(Hear, hear)-- and with regar d to the offenders, some of whom bave already suffered, and others of whom have to suffer, however much we may regret it, it is necessary that the Government should carry on their r',rosecutions with rigour, or the consequences to the country will be dreadful. I feel assured, however, tk i at the Govern ment will do so, and that pun.i;ament will spee dily follow the commission of their crimes. The organization, Gentlemen, has I . ,een most extensive ; and it has come out evidence that not only have they met °Pe . illy to • defy the laws, but that a system of illegal oaths has been adopted, and I am sorry to say it will b e brought home to some of the inhabitants of this t/Jtvn. People are surprised at the secresy with whici..l they managed a system which has been so eo mplett)., that our own colliery agents, who ::ra living among 'them, knew nothing of it beyond this, that there was r,mething goiv.g on wrong, but. what they knew not. I think, therefore, th a t the Magis tracy will, l o e readily exculpated from all blame for not beirAP acquainted with it.—(Cheers.) Then there was ase cret watch-word to be given and answered, and if not - answered, they were to deal with an individual as the , : f thought proper, which clearly means that they were to take his life away. I beg to propose the fourth r resolution. Mr. DowLING szconded the resolution as follows :- 4. That a humble memorial be presented to her Majesty, expressive of the gallant coolness and intre pidity of Captain Stack, Lieutenant Grey, and Ensign Stack, Sergeant ILli, and the non-commissioned officers and ririvates of 451%lajesty's . 45th - Regiment of Foot, .stationed a t Newport, Monmouth, on Monday, the 4th day of Novemlo s : taut . , resvetfully soliciting her Maje s t y gracon§ . .l - 0. bestow so me su b s t ant i a l mar k o f her gracious ta4.04 distinction upon the officers, non commissioned', iiliteWrs, and privates beforenarned. And that the prepalataion of such memorial, and the presen tation thereqwferred to a Committee to be appointed." Mr. Davis proposed, and Mr. LATCH seconded, the fifth resolutin; which was carried unanimously : , t 4. That tl-6. Mayor, the late Mayor, Reginald James BleWitt, M.P:, Octavius Morgan, Thomas Protheroe, William Brewer, Thomas Powell, Edward Dowling, William Truman Harford Phelps, William Williams, Frederick Justice, Thomas Jones Phillips, Henry John Davies, and Joseph Latch, Esquires, and the Rev. James Coles, be appointed a Committee to prepare the memorial proposed by the fourth reiolUtion.' OCTAYIIIS MORGAN, Esq. then proposed the fol lowing resolution of thinks to the gentlemen of the public press for their exertions in reportin g in so correct and able a manner the proceedings of the important in- vestigation now sittirit :—" 6. That the thanks of this meetin g be given to-the gentlemen of the p ress w h o have attended during the investigation now in progress, for their respectful conduct towards the authorities during the performance of their arduous duties." The Itev. JA - 4ES COLES (chairman of the bench) seconded the reibintion, which was carried unanimous}y. Mr. POWELL returned thanks on the part of the Press. A vote of thanks was passed to the Mayor by accla- , mation, ark the meeting separated. THE EXAMINATIONS. THURSDAY MORNING.—In consequence of the pub lic meeting this morning, the Magistrates did not com mence proceedings until one o'clock. Just as the Magistrates were taking their seats, Ze phaniah Williams, for whose apprehension a reward of 1001. had been offered, was brought in and placed at the bar. He was charged with treason and sedition. He appeared exceedingly dejected. Samuel Box Stockdale examined—l am superinten dent of police at Cardiff. I apprehended the prisoner at the bar this morning about three o'clock, on board the Vintage, bound to Oporto ; she was lying at the port of Cardiff. I asked him his name, and he told me Thomas Jones. I took four men with me at three o'clock, and went down to the Sea Loch. I went on board use Vintage!, Capt. Williams, bound for Oporto. I put a man over the watch on deck, that he should not make an alarm, and I went down into the cabin. I woke the captain, and questioned him as to his crew, and he told me he bad no one on board but himself and his crew, and the persons I saw there. I did not then see the prisoner. I told the captain I must search, the ship, and he gave me leave to do so. I saw the prisoner fast asleep in a berth next to the captain, and I asked the captain and crew who he was. 1 asked for the ship's Articles, and the captain told me he had not any yet signed. I then asked how the prisoner came on board, and the captain said he brought a gentleman on board last night, and the tide having ebbed he was obliged to stay, I awoke the prisoner, who appeared much alarmed and trembled violently ; he said he would go quietly with me. I had not then asked him. He then said what is the matter ? and I asked him his name, and he gave the name of Thomas Jones, from Bridge-end ; and on further questioning him he said he was a native of Merthyr. I asked for his paper's, he said he had none, and that he did not know any person in Cardiff ; and I told him I most detain him until he gave some account of himself. He was handcuffed, and I immediately had him searched. 1 found on his person a silver watch, silver pencil-case, box of percussion pistol caps, a bundle of loose caps, one hundred and two sovereigns and a half in gold, and eleven Spanish dollars, and a paper, on which was written " Edward Head, vessel Comet, Richard Todd, spirit-merchant, Cardiff's" knife, comb, &c. I then ordered him over the side into the boat, to be taken to 'he police station. We got there about half-past four, this morning. I entered the charge as against" Thom as Jones, under-ground workman, Merthyr." I made the charge myself against him of being on board the brig Vintage, not able to give a good account of himself, and my suspecting him to be Zephaniah Williams. The captain was an Englishman. He expressed very great -urprise when I found the prisoner there, and asked , him what he did there. The prisoner did not answer the question. I heard the prisoner tell the Mayor of Gardiff his name was Zephaniah Williams. Thomas Jones Phillips was then examined.—l am '.clerk to the magistrates. I know Zephaniah W;;;li ams , the prisoner at the bar. He is charged with Ugh trea son and sedition. He is very much altered since I last saw him. The prisoner was then remanded. Evan Edwards was then placed at the bar, charged with high treason. Ann Spooner—l know the prisoner ; his name is Edwards ;he is a watch and elockmaker. I saw him on Sunday the 3d of November, some time in the morning ; he came to my back door, and asked me if I had got ere a pistol. I told him I had only one that was out of repair. I showed it to him, and he told me he would repair it if I chose. I never heard of his repairing pistols. He did not return it next morning, and I have not seen it since. He asked me if I had got any bullet mould, and I told him I had but a very large one, and it did not belong to th a t pistol, lie asked me to let him look a t it. I let him sea it, and he asked me the price of it. I told him I did not know the price, and my husband did not tell me the price of anything of the kind. My husband is a wholesale dealer in hardware, and sometimes sells pistols and bullet moulds, but we have not had any for some tints except that one. He took away the bullet mould, and I have not seen it since. William Phillips, examined by Mr. Phelps—l am a special constable of Tredegar. I know the prisoner, he is a clock and watch-maker. I was directed on Sunday the 3d of November, to go to the prisoner's house. I went between twelve and o'clock on Sunday night. I knocked at the door, and the prisoner from the up-stele window told me he would not open the door. I then returned, and went again to the prisoner's house betwe two and three on Monday morning, the 4th. He told me then he would let me in on condition that I would not take him away from his house, or injure him. He let me in. I then asked him what he had keen doing all night, and he said he had not been f:toi:ig anything but stopping up with his wife, who - was very ill. I then asked him where the bullets were that he had been making. He said he had not been making any. I then laid hold of the candle and went into his kitchen. I there saw some drops of lead about the floor, and also a bullet quite warm. I could hardly hold it in my hand (the bullet was here produced). Walter William Herman examined —I am superin tendant of police at Tredegar. On Monday morn ing I received the prisoner into my custody. I searched him, and found nothing on him. I took him before Mr. Homfray, the Magistrate, and he stated that the balls produced by Phillips, the last witness, were the same as taken from him, and were made for the Chartists to prevent his being taken away. I returned to the prisoner's house and searched it. I found a bullet-mould, No. 58, with a bullet in it, fourteen pistol bullets, and a piece of lead apparently recently melted. He stated the lead was for making pendulums for the clocks, although he bad made bullets with it. The piece of lead, is nothing at all like the pendulum of a clock. He said he bad been up to the Chartist Lodge on Saturday eight, where he had been detained very late, and that he had been k subscriber, but had not attended for a considerable time. Henry Crow examined by Mr. P helps—l am _ a special constable at Tredegar. I know the prisoner. I saw him on Monday, the 4th of November. I asked him what could possess him to make bullets at that time, and he said he had been to the Lodge, and that that they had in consideration of his wile's illness, let him free of going with them, if he would stay at home and make some bullets for them, which he did, and was in hopes of getting a few shillings for the benefit of his family. This closed the case tor the prosecution, and Mr. Phelps stated that the evidence did not, as he expected, amount to treason ; he would, therefore, withdraw the charge, and leave it with the Magistrates too do as they thought fit with them. The Chairman then said—The Magistrates always wish to deal as leniently with a prisoner, as they pos sibly can. ion are therefore remanded ; an d if you can get br il, yourself in 1001., a n d two sureties in .50/. each, for your appearance at the next gaol deli v ery, it will be taken. Ber.ijamin Richards was then placed at. the bar, chs.eged with high treason and sedition. John Cullimore examined—l live at T•redegar, and am & grocer. I know the prisoner perfcx tly well. On Sunday, the 3d, as I was returning from. *Sirhowy I met from fifteen to twenty people opposite - the old mills some armed with pik es, an d one with a gun. saw Le prisoner with those men. He is a shoemaker, and, knowing him to be a constab're, I stopped and spoke to him. I asked him if he knew the Chartists were coming ? He said he did. L said soldiers were sent for and expected every minute. He said " We should be glad to see them, we , would soldier thorn." He had a stick in his 'nand similar to the other men, but whether a pike on it. I cannot say. Walter Willinn Horman—l am snperintendent of , police at Treckgar. I know the prisoner. I appre hended hint. Considering the prisoner a constable, I asked hint if he knew the charge on which he was ap prehended. He said no ;he had done nothing, aid no ) one could charge him with anything ;he never carried h ea lockedsked h u i tp. arms ; a man came and called him from his house, and 11 1 no further i hat be was bound to go, and that he did not go further to he Israel Thurman—l live at Gellygwes. I saw the prisoner on Sunday night , the A , Su o f N ovember, at th qu a e n sti S on to s7a -b nd ill d ' es N ir e e wdphoirmt. I about nine or ten o'clock. It was a very we night. Th ere was a great party down fr om t h e 1 upper tram , roa The two tram-roads meet there. 1 should think there were 3,000 or 4,000 there. Son re were armed, and a great many had no aims at all . They carried lights. I know John Frost ;he was i n the front ; the CAPTAIN CHAMIER'S NEW NAVAL STORY. Just ready, in 3 vols. pos Bvo., THE SPITF I R E. A NAUTICAL ROMANCE. By CAPT.
