The Plymouth, Pentreach, ef y Iron Works, Merthyr T at ydvil, in the cou b ntyGlamorgan, are amongst the earliest of the great Iron Works established in South Wales, and daring a period of above fifty years have been the property of, and constantly conducted by hleurs. Richard and Anthony Hill and their late father, on an extensive scale, and with very c onsiderable advantage. Messrs. Hill, being desirous of disposing of these works, have entered into a provisional agreement with the other Gentlemen above named as the Directors of a Company proposed to be formed to carry on the works, to sell the same for the sum of 327,000/., possession being given on the Ist of May next. Th e value o f t h e works, &e., as estimated by Mr. William Need ham, an experienced ironmaster, employed by those Directors on behalf o f t h e proposed Company, was 384,3a3/. The Works are in complete repair, and in full and profitable employment, and will, by the Ist of May, be capable of produc ing annually 25,000 tons or bar iron, for which there is an ample supply of minerals upon the property ; and judging from their present capabilities, and from past experience, it is calculated that the profit on the purchase money of 327,000/. will be equal to 101. per cent. per annum. The undertaking is offered +o the public as a permanent in vestment of capital; and, as the Company will be in receipt of the profits of the Works from the Ist of May, a considerable dividend upon the invested capital may be expected at the end of the first year, and re g ularly afte rwar d s. Messrs. Hill a gree to continue in the management of the Works for at least two years, from the Ist of May. The capital requisite to complete the first payment for the Works, and to carry on the business, will amount to 9.00,0001., which is to be paid by the Shareholders as follows, viz.:- 121. 10s. per Share on allotment, or within fourteen days afterwards. 121. 10s: per ditto on the 15th April next.

AT a MEETING of the COMMIT TEE of the BRITISH and FOREIGN ANTI-SLAVERY SOCIETY, held at 27, New Broad-street, on TUESDAY, the 21st of Jrnuary, 1840 ; JOSEPH STURGE, Esq., in the Chair; It was unanimously resolved— That the Co nmittee of the British and Foreign Anti-Sla very Society, having received information that strenuous efforts are being made to obtain the sanction of Government to a plan for importing labourers into our late Slave Colonies, 10 be employed principally in Sugar Cultivation, have taken the subject into deliberate consideration. The ev , dence they have collected from authentic and im partial sources proves that almost uniformly, where the eman cipated Negro has been fairly and equitably dealt with, he has willingly remained on the estate of his former owner, and cheerfully performed, for very moderate wages, the most labo rious part of Sugar Cultivation, in many cases to an amount exceeding what could be exacted from him under the severest system of coercion while in a state of slavery. The Committee have ascertained that the complaints which are made of inability to procure a sufficiency of labour mainly originate with those agents of non-resident proprietors, who, from having been long accustomed to slavery, and always bit terly opposed, not only to its abolition, but even to its amelio ration, and from their habits and deep-rooted prejudices are utterly disqualified to secure the confidence and willing industry of free labourers. The Committee have ascertained that the emigration which has taken place since 1834 to our Colonies, for the purpose of promoting Sugar cultivation, has generally been accompanied by much fraud and injustice, as well as by dreadful mortality to the parties who have been entrapped into it. All the facts Collected by this Committee, but too plainly prove that although slavery is legally abolished in our Colonies, its spirit yet remains in full fe:ce with a large majority of the dominant party, and that the free emigrant would find too late that the enactment in this country, of the most impartial and humane laws, would not save him from oppression, in the pre sent state of Colonial feeling, the object of those who are en deavouring to pi omote the proposed scheme, being too obviously to depress the moderate and often inadequate rate of wages of the p-esent labouring population. The Committee cordially concur in the views hitherto ex pressed by the Government on this vital question, as stated in the Order in Council, of the 7th September, 1838, regulating contracts for labour in the Crown Colonies, in the instructions sent out to the Governor-General, to prevent the further ex. portation of Hill Coolies from Hindostan, and in the late despatch of the Marquis of Normanby, disallowing the Emigra tion Ordinance of British Guiana, and they feel that in an in flexible adherence !to principles thus officially laid down her Majesty's Ministers, are enti ad to their strenuous support. This Committee is finally impressed with a conviction that at the present time no general plan of emigration to the Colonies can be proposed either by the local Legislatures or the pro prietary interest in this country which would net greatly en danger the happiness and prosperity of a community, whose liberty has been purchased by the people of England at so costly a sacrifice, and at the same time hazard incalculable misery to those who might be induced to emigrate, and they earnestly recommend to their friends and correspondents throughout the country to be prepared to adopt active steps to obtain an expression of public opinion on this subject, should circumstances render it necessary. JOSEPH STURGE, Chairman. AT a MEETING of DEPUTIES from the various Towns throughout the Kingdom, connected with the ANTI-CORN-LAW LEAGUE, assembled at the Corn Exchange, MANCHESTER, on the 14th Inst., J. B. SMITH, Esq., in the Chair, A Report of the Proceedings of the League having been read, the following Resolutions were unanimously passed : Moved by LAWRENCE HETWORTH, Esq., of Liverpool; se conded by WALTER BUCIIA NAN, Esq., of Glasgow. 1. That the Report of the Council of the League, now read, be received and approved, and that the statement of accounts now read be adopted and passed. Moved by ALEX. JOHNSTONE, Esq., President of the Glasgow Anti-Corn-law Association ; seconded by N. A. Via olts, Esq., M.P., Deputy from St. Pancras. 2. That this Meeting of Deputies reiterate the declaration made by the Anti-Corn-law Deputies in London last Spring, that they ask for no exclusive protection to their particular interests, and they insist that none shall be given to any other class of the community. Moved by Mr. COAT es, Deputy from the Tower Hamlets seconded by Mr. Li VESEY, of Preston. 3. That this Meeting of Deputies from the different parts of the Kingdom to the Anti-Corn-law League again record their solemn protest against those unjust laws which restrict the im portation of food, and thus interpose a barrier between the bounte ous designs of Providence, and the wants of the industrious mil lions of this empire. That, during the past year, the baneful influ ences of the Corn and Provision-laws have been found exerting themselves with the utmost severity upon the middle and work ing classes; inflicting upon the labourers physical sufferings and privations, which have led to a great increase of crime, disease, and pauperism ; injuring our'capita l ists and merchants by the de angement of the currency, and enhancing the rate of interest, to the ruin of the humbler class of traders, and at the same time striking at the very stability of our institutions, by impairing the revenue of the State. In the midst of these dangers, the prospect of the next harvest threatens us with an aggravation of all these evils. That, impressed more fully by the experience of the past year, with the necessity of the most determined efforts for the repeal of the Corn and Provision-laws, this Meeting of Deputies pledge themselves to the continued support of the League, until the object for which it was established be attained. Moved by E. BAINES, jun., Esq., of Leeds, seconded by JOSEPH WALKER, Esq., of Wolverhampton. 4. That the Deputies offer their grateful acknowledgments for the valuable services of the several Anti-Corn-law Asso ciations of the Kingdom, in the dissemination of sound informa tion, by means of lectures and tracts ; and they recommend the organization of similar associations, to be united with the League in all towns where none have been established. The Depu ties urge upon all such societies the paramount duty at the present juncture of forthwith calling public meetings, and of forwarding numerously signed petitions to both Houses of Par liament, and to the Queen, for the total and immediate repeal of the Corn and Provision-laws. Moved by Mr. Aldermen COBDEN, seconded by E. HARRISON, Esq., of Carlisle. 5. That, in the event of any vacancies in Parliament, or of a general election, the Deputies pledge themselves to use their best exertions in their several towns and districts to oppose, by all constitutional means, the return of any candidate who is a supporter of the existing law ; and they call upon their friends in all parts of the empire to be prepared with candidates who are favourable to the abolition of the Corn and Provision-laws. Moved by HAMER STANSFIELD, Esq., of Leeds; seconded by the Rev. PATRICK BREWSTER, of Paisley. 6. That the League shall assemble in London, for the pro motion of their cause in Parliament, during the present Session, on a day to be fixed by the Council at Manchester, which shall be previously announced in the " Anti-Corn-law Circular." J. B. SMITH, Chairman. Manchester, Jan. 14, 1840. The Mayor of Leeds having taken the Chair, a vote of thanks was passed by acclamation to J. B. Smith, Esq. for his conduct in presiding.

Parker, J. The iron trade in Sweden is represented to be in a state of great activity and prosperity. The quantity of bar iron produced to the commencement of last November is stated at 276,000 ship pounds, and of manufactured iron 33,600, which, added to 11,700 of the latter and 126,700 of the former on hand in the entrepots on the let of November, 1838, make a total of 448,000 ship pounds. Of this, 304,390 ship pounds were exported, of which 283,505 are in the shape of bar and 21,390 of manufactured iron. For home consumption the quantity taken of both sorts in nearly equal proportions was 26,605 ship pounds. There remained in entrepot on the Ist of last November 11,485 ship pounds of manufactured iron, and 103,300 ship pounds of bar iron. The price of iron of ordinary sires had not varied during the year, having been ten bank rixdollars the ship pound, or about 255. 10d. sterling. The ship pound is equal to about 280 pounds. A letter from Hayti in the French papers notices that formerly the greater part of the shipments of produce on English and German account were made from that island to Havre in French vessels, on account of the greater moderation of freight and the better rates of price in that market than elsewhere. Latterly, however, the case was altered, since it was found only by reference to an article in the Englisb tariff that foreign coffee, from whatever quarter, brought. by British shipping which had last touched at the Cape of Good Hope, was admissible at a considerable reduction of duty into English ports. In consequence many of the foreign houses at Hayti had been encouraged to make their shipments of coffee to the Cape, and thence to England. This sort of operation was fouud sufficiently advantageous to compensate the low er ma.. parative rate of freight by French ships from Hayti to Have, ranging from 130 f. to 150 f. per ton less than by other ships. Times. THREEPENNY POSTAGE.—One penny is charged at Kirkstall for delivery on letters pre -paid, and;if not pre-paid, one penny i n a ddition to the do u bl e postage, thus a Leedsletter to Kirkstall, if not paid, costs threepence, or ono penny per mile. This grievane2 is co mp l a i ned of in other neighbouring villages. The additional number of letters, in consequence of the reduction of the postage, will much increase the remuneration to the post-masters in these places. BREEDS OF CATTLE, &c.

" One would suppose that the exciting and terrible adven tures recorded in this work, were the pure offspring of fiction and romance, but nevertheless they are, in fact, the real con fessions of one who took a leading part in those horrible scenes which disgraced India for so many hundreds of years. Captain Taylor gives a very characteristic picture of the general habits of the natives of India, and he describes the country in a gra phic and forcible style ; thus giving to the awful characteristics of the subject an air of authenticity as well as dramatic inte rest. In addition to the very strong emotion which a perusal of the work is calculated to excite, pleasurable feelings will be derived from the admirable descriptions of very romanth: and comparatively little known regions, and the peculiarities of their inhabitants."—Courier.

It appears that there is a class of spinners in most mills, where very fine numbers are spun, who get much more money than do other spinners in the same mill, merely because such happen to be employed on coarser numbers. This inequality the opera tives are, it is said, willing to regulate; whilst on the other hand, it is stated that the masters are determined, not only to equalise the gains, but also to reduce the wages of both the fine and coarse spinners. This the men say they will not submit to, and in proof have turned out. It is probable, that out of 10,000 hands thus thrown out of employment, not more than one-teeth of that number have the least interest in the contest, inasmuch as the remaining 9-10ths are on weekly wages, with the reduction of which the masters do not intend to meddle. The operatives, it would seem from this rash and thoughtless turn out, have gained no practical wisdom by past suffering— who seem invariably determined on striking when their labour is not in demand, for there can be no doubt but that a majority of the mill-owners would prefer a total standing still for a while, to going on even with the proposed reduction. It would be a difficult task, even if both parties were elispesed for an adjustment of the dispute, to equalize the earnings of the men, because the size of the modern mule so greatly exceeds those made ten years ago. The police force is placed on extra duty, and is understood to be ready atall the stations for instant action should their services be required. All, however, is quiet. • DREADFUL CONFLAGRATION AT Bow.- This morning, about half-past one o'clock, as a labouring man was proceeding along Old Ford-lane, near Bow Church, Mid dlesex, he discovered a fire raging in the corn-room of the long-established mill belonging to Mr. Ball. He instantly useless alarmed the inmates of the dwelling-houses attached, who soon one belonging to the Messrs. Currie, hastened to the spot with buckets and pails of water, whilst others were dispatched in different directions, for the assistance of the fire-engines. The first that arrived was that of the pthaeri; and in a comparatively mill were in flames. short time the whole contents ofthe distillers,s but followed they by were Messengers were despatched to Londontt for other assistance, and by three o'clock the Watling- e s ree b'l'est Farringdon-street engines had arrived, as well as _th _ of England and six the firemen were others, when the exertions of directed to the dwellings adjoining , a s all hopes of saving any p or ti on o f th e mill were at an end. I n this they partly succeeded, but not until one dwelling-house, with its contents, was completely destroyed, and four others considerably damaged. No cause can be assigned for this destruction that of Property, as it appears by the accounts given by the workmen they left all safe at half-past twelve o'clock, having had occasion to work late. We are sorry to add that none of the p ro p ert y dest royed is insured. bdued until five. o'clock • thi The fire was not entirely su s morning, when Mr. Braidwood , w ith his men, left for t own. Suspicions are entertained that the fir e is the work of an i ncendiary. A good supply of water was o btained from Bow- cree k . It must, in justice be added, that the labourers willingly ass i ste d i n ex tinguishing the fire. The loss of property is estimated at be tween 2,0001. and 3,000 1 . LIVERPOOL, WEDNESDAY, TEN O'CLOCK.— The storm increased in violence yesterday afternoon. At two o'clock it blew a perfect hurricane from the westward. The vessels at anchor in Bootle -bay rode it out with great difficulty. The large Glasgow steamers attempted to put to sea, but, after a trial of half an hour, they were compelled to return to port. Again we rejoice to say that no serious damage has been sus tained during the violent gales of the last three days. At pre sent the weather is comparatively moderate. THE WEATHER.—One of the severest storms tkat have visited this city during the season, occurred on Sun day, when the rain fell in torrents, with a brief interval of sun shine in the forenoon. A violent 'gale blew from the West, and hail and sleet at one time were observed. In Glasgow the weather appears to have been even more tempestuous. On Sunday night thunder and lightning were added there to the storm, and a few minutes after ten o clock, one flash, followed by an instantaneous roar, illuminated the entire length of the Trongate, as clearly as noon on a July day. The utmost anxiety is felt regarding the tidings from sea.—Edinbursdr Advertiser. dramatic3lst ult. , a s t on i s h e d at th e poets," says an evening O journal,ne of our g reat b ein g , on the agitated app earance o f his barber, who attend s t o s h ave hi m every morning asked him what was the matter.

NEW COINS, WEIGHTS, AND MEASURES. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR,—An inconvenience felt daily, and many times a day, by a whole community, however trivial it may be, ought to be corrected by those whose province it is to pro vide things fit and serviceable. One of these inconve niences is felt in the weight and material of our lowest coinage of copper money. The other defect, too, which pervades the entire system of our currency, viz., of not being divisible into decimals, is another barbarism, the existence of which can only be excused by the anticipation of much perplexity in making the transition from old habits to new. I beg to suggest my ideas, how to effect a change of both these inconveniences by a process easy and intel ligible, and at the same time to retain in use, until they shall become obsolete, all the present symbols of value. I propose that a coinage should be largely issued, in silver, or alloy, of money, which shall be in value the hundredth part of a sovereign (the gold unit of our accounts.) If a new coin, the hundredth part of our gold unit, is introduced into general use, it could not fail of becoming the means of keeping all accounts in two columns instead of the pre— sent arbitrary distinctions of X. s. d., and this ulterior change may be established independent of Act of Parlia ment and proclamations. In the course of a few years its simplicity would work out the old symbols, and every measure of value would at last be universally expressed in sovereigns, and its hundred parts, with some familiar sub divisions of the hundred. The name of the new coin may be a " Part," or any other conventional name, which the flatterers of royalty may prefer. If of standard silver, it would not be inconveniently small, but of alloy it would be as large as a farthing. At the same time that provision is made for this change, there should be a similar provision, for establishing some term of unity, and its hundred parts, in all our weights and measures ; and if these be also brought into operation simultaneously with the new coin age, the use of such a system may be safely left to the voluntary principle, unaided by any formal injunction by Statute or otherwise, which, in almost all such cases, have proved ineffective in superseding local custom. Yours respectfully, E. B. D. CRUEL HOAX on the DISTRESSED. (From the Manchester Guardian.) One of the most wantonly cruel hoaxes we have ever heard of was practised on Monday last, by the in dustrious distribution, in several of the poorer dis tricts of the town, of handbills, printed in blue ink (with a woodcut representing the arms of the borough), and artfully drawn up in the following terms : TO THE WORKING CLASSES OF MAN CHESTER. BOROUGH OF MANCHESTRA. The Conservative Gentlemen of Manchester and its vi cinity, seeing the great distress that prevails in this town and neighbourhood, have humanely entered into a subs:rip tion for the relief of the working classes ; and at this in clement season of the year they consider they cannot apply the money to a better purpose than releasing the bedding and clothing of those families who have been compelled to pledge to procure food for themselves and distressed fami lies. The following are the regulations;._ A family consisting of ten or more persons, earning less than 245. per week, will be entitled to the benefits of the above charity; A family cOnsisting of six persons, earning less than 203. per week, will be entitled to the same. A family containing three or less persons, earning 12s. per week, receive the benefits of this charity. The goods must be pledged prior to this date. The Committee will meet at ten o'clock on Monday, the 20th inst , and two following days, when any persons requiring the assistance of this charity must apply person ally, at the Corn Exchange, Hanging Ditch, and take their duplicates with them, when they will receive the means of releasing them.—By older of the Committee. Mr. BIRLEY, Secretary. Spring-gardens, Jan. 15, 1840. Thomsen, printer, Manchester. The cruel author of this hoax was so far successful in his object, as to attract great numbers of the poor to the Corn Exchange, Hanging Ditch, in expectation of having their clothes and bedding released from pawn, by the assistance of the Committee ; but, after standing some time in the street, and finding that the doors con tinued closed, and that there was no appearance of any Committee or other parties, they were reluctantly obliged to return to their expectant families, and to communicate to them their own grievous disappoint. ment. Some applied to Sir Charles Shaw on the sub ject ; but, of course, he could give them no information, lie did offer a reward for the discovery of the scoundrel who had practised this cruel deception ; but hitherto, we believe, without success. We trust the author will be discovered ; the publication of his name would be perhaps, punishment enough for him ; for, we should think, he could scarcely venture to look any of his re spectable fellow-townsmen in the face.—Manchester Guardian. DOVER, JAN. 20.—A suite of state apart ments has been engaged at the Royal York Hotel for Prince Albert of Saxe Coburg and suite, who are expected to arrive from Ostend about the 9th or 10th of next month. His High.• ness will sleep one night at• Dover previous to his departure for town. It is expected the Corporation will welcome the future consort of our gracious Sovereign by a congratulatory address on the occasion of his landing here. POSTAGE, DUBLIN.—The letters posted in Dublin weekly have increased from eighty-eight thousand to upwards of three hundred thousand ! NVhat may not be ex pected when the measure has had full time to work, and when all classes of people, including the vast majority hereto fore excluded by the Post-office taxation, shall have become habituated to the blessing and advantages of communicating with their friends, at the cost of one penny. The reader ca n . not fail to be struck at the ver) large proportion which the number of letters sent through Dublin bears to the total amount passed from the British capital—the Dublin letters being snore than one-third of those forwarded from London. This, we own, surprises us, although we have been long aware that our capabilities and our .contrib utions to the Revenue have been greatly undervalued. A fte r the la pse of only a fortnight _without the stamped covers, and with all the other imper fections necessarily attending the introduction of the Penny Postage—the working of the measure already affords sufficient data to warrant us in anticipating that eventually the Revenue will not suffer from the extension of this great boon to the p aRENv-eliAngW PE Post TITION.—It is most gra tiet:ipAnigeN. people.—Dublin announce ublO that the petition. got up by th e Edi n b urg h rn Anti-Co-law Associati on, received, up to 12,000 signatures.

The writ was received on Friday, and the Mayor, as returning officer, has appointed next Thursday for the nomination, and Friday for the polling. Among the attempts made to obtain an undue advantage, was the proposal to have five polling places, instead of four, as previously arranged ; then a division of the polling-booths was desired ; and also the places selected were such as greatly to favour the exercise of improper influence. Besides these symptoms of weakness, the Rah have abated much of their boasting, the time of trial is too near, their hearts fail, and this most us-principled opposi tion will assuredly be defeated.—Newark Gazette. / A EVENiN G POLITICAL SUMMARY OF THE MORNING JOURNALS. The Morning Chronicle of this day, in a leading article on the debate last night, in the Commons, on the breach of privilege . question, observes—" The country will perceive with satisfaction that the unanimity of the leaders of the two great parties in the House throughout these proceedings has been complete. Without the co-opera tion of Sir Robert Peel, the House would have been de feated in this struggle; but it has been nobly afforded. It is, indeed, impossible to speak in too high terms of the high services which the Right Honourable Baronet has at this critical time afforded to the cause of the constitution, for such it truly is." The Morning Advertiser alludes to the breach of privilege question in the following terms On the important question of privilege now in debate we have before es pressed our opinion to be in concurrence with that of Sir R. Peel and Lord John Russell. The House mast stand by its privileg es for the sake of the people, or it may open cd t e h n e t l a door f or much future misehief, by establishing a most dangerous a: rega rds ople 's representatives,the free expression T he of the people's willprecedent by e. tion both in theory and practice lies in a narrow compass. The House of Commons represents in theory, and ought to do so in practice, the people's will, from whence originally all jurisdiction, including the very esta blishment of Courts of Justice, must proceed." The Morning Herald comments as follows on the same subject :—" Undefined power, whether it be called ' prerogative' or privilege,' is of the essence of tyranny. It is undefined power which the House of Commons claims, and that claim is not only advanced by Lord John Rus sell, but supported by Sir Robert Peel. Tkus we see the Whig Minister and his Conservative opponent strug gling in unholy alliance to strip the Queen's Courts of Justice of their peculiar powers, and reduce them to an abject dependence upon the arbitrary dictates of the de mocratic branch of the Legislature. We who have al ways understood the word " Conservatism" in the sense of an enlightened and patriotic attachment to the ancient and established institutions of the country, and, of course, in. eluding under it a becoming reverence for lawful authority, are quite at a loss to understand the principle of conduct of the Leader of the Conservative opposition." The Mernistg Post, speaking of the result of last night's discussion in the Commons, says :—" It is agreeable to find the House re covering its senses by degrees." The Times contains a lengthened summary merely of last night's Parliamentary proceedings. LLOYD'S SHIPPING-(TMIS DAY).

The effective roll of the Austrian army, on the 31st October, 1337, was as follows :.--58 regiments of infantry, 1 regiment and 12 battalions of rifles, 247,526 men. " Landwehr" battalions, depot, and companies, 41,954 men, 36 regiments of cavalry, 46,779 men, with 41,342 horses. The artillery is composed of five regiments, Ines tering 18,285 men; bombardiers and fire-workers, 2,000; pioneers, sappers and miners, pontoniers and ordnance train, 6,193 men ; garrison (reserve) artillery, 3,824 men; gens d'armes, custom-house guards, &c., 1,550 men . Waggon train, 25,029 men. Th e efective roll o f t h e re gular troops thus amounted (witho u t th ose o f t h e frontier colonies) to 392,940 men, with 42,300 horses, of Whi c h 45,411 were called out of the reserve. This is; u n - • questionably the most imposing force on foot in Europe. The number of Hungarians enlisted must not be confounded with the quota voted by the Diet, and maintained at the expense of the nation ; the latter amount to twelve infantry, and ten cavalry regiments. The effective roll of the cavalry regiments is 19,531 men; whereas the eleven hussar regiments in actual service muster 16,883, with 14,534 horses, . . _. The military frontier colonies mustered at the same Fe, rind 44,876 men; of whom 1,226 were hussars (dis mounted), and 1,268 boatmen on the Danube. The navy consists of 4,741 men, including a regiment. of marines, 1,395 men, and marine artillery, 960 men. The officers and non-commissioned officers in active service amount to 230 generals, 831 field of f icers, 10,464 officers, 29,610 non-commissioned officers. Invalids and pensioned were 133 generals, 1,048 field officers, 3,769 officers, 6071 non-commissioned officers, 30,274 privates. QUAKERS AND CHURCH-RATES. [Having copied an article from the Ipswich Express, in which imputations were thrown upon the Quakers for their conduct in the matter of Church-rates, it is but just that we give equal publicity to the following reply to that ar ticle which has appeared in the same journal.] I believeithe Society of Friends were never more faith ful upon this point than at the present time—never mote impressed with their conscientious objections beiqg based on sound scriptural views. That an individual now and then has swerved we know, but no such case has come to the knowledge of the officers of the Society without beiug remonstrated against, I believe, I am safe in asserting—= and very rare is the exception. The attaok must, there" fore, unless proved, be considered a very unkind one, end a libel upon that Society which has been foremost in main taining a principle against Tithes and those calla* " Church-rates,' which principle has been held sole?, on religious grounds. That the constable, with a war rant, comes to my oat-heap, and takes a sample and carries it round, obtains a buyer, and.then takes the exact quantity to pay the amount of the demand and the Gs, penses attendant, I acknowledge ; and a case of this kind occurred last week; but I would inquire of " Publius" if I could prevent the constable so doing, and if there can be any collusion on my part. Thp same will of course apply to samples of shop goods. If the Church warden comes without warrant, and the goods are al lowed to be taken illegally, then I grant the collusion. If I allow an account to be set off, lam equally guilty—if I ask another person to pay it for me, " it will be borrowed money, and it will be repaid "—it is not only- a collusion, but a hypocritical collusion, and would be visited as such by the Society on any of its members. But I again re peat, as a member of the Society, that I know of no such case in this district or any other—neither that members of the Society have been "very lax ;" and until such as preyed to be the case, the stigma must be considered es undeserved and without foundation. It is known to the Bench of Magistrates that several of our friends, myself amongst the rest, have of late years attended to summonses —stated our grounds of dissent, and repeatedly endured the heavy charges of distraint. RICHARD DYKES ALEXANDER. Insa ich, 17th of Ist month, 1840. A few weeks ago the smack Lively, of Swansea laden with copper ore, from Swansea to Llanelly, struck on the south side of Bury River, and soon sunk into the sand, but the greater part of the ore was got out. E ver y a tt empt to , ge t the vessel of proved ineffectual, although very great, exertions were used by sqamers and a host o f men. Ultimately she was abandoned fo her fate, and given up as s. lost vessel. O n t h e 9th inst., however, Captain John Brabyn, of the New Parlia ment, and Mr. James Brabyn, shipwright, of that place, deter. mined to make an attempt to raise her, notwithstanding the failures of their predecessors, and persons were willing to make heavy bets against their success. They succeeded, however, in their object, much to the astonishment of all who witnessed the same, and we are happy to state that she lies now safely in one of the Llanelly docks, without the aid of a steamer or anything of the kind.— Cambrian. LIREII.AL LANDLORDS !---=-A laudatory para graph has been going the round of the papers in this county, in which the Earl of St. Germain's is praised for his liberality, in taking off ten per cent. from his rents ; and it is stated, as a still higher degree of praise, that this is the fourth time within six years that the Noble Earl has made a similar reduction. We are well aware how very pleasing this word reduction is to a farmer's car when he is not quite prepared with his rent— when adverse seasons and scanty crone, even with high prices, do not afford a remuneration to t 4 he cultivator. Teo per cent. deducted from a large rental amounts to a large sum of money ; and giving up this to their tenants has an appearance of generosity that may well deceive even thinking men. This system of continual reductions of rent we look upon as a bad one, for many reasons. Not the feast of these f§, that when it has been pursued, it induces a tenant to offer more rent than the land is really worth, in the hope of this very sr duction, which is subsequently called an act of generosity ; and either the landlord gets snore than his just proportion,. to the injury of the capital of the tenant, or the tenant is laid under an obligation to his landlord to the injury. of his independence. A harsh landlord, by this mean?, picks his tenant's pocket ; a kind landlord robs him of his fry dom. But even the considerate landlord, who is aware of the • difficulties to which these high rents must condemn his tenant, and who strives to mitigate these difficulties by making a at - duction of ten per cent., is doing more injury to the agricul tural body generally than he is conferring a benefit upon Yie tenantry ; because he artificially increases the rent of htnif-- and affords an excuse to those who are more griping than him, self to exact the utmost amount their land will fetch. Vie system leads to speculation in land founded on a false basis; and, as such, must be injurious to those entering upon it. West Briton.
