of Commissioners by the guardians, a special meeting was
held last night in the Town hall, to confider what rep:y
should be sent. Alter a long discussion, in which the sweep
tog allegations contained in Sir Thomas Downtimes letter
wets stated to be gross exaggerations and untruths, it was

of the town itself.]

iIELIDGEND AND NIDONDOURIIOOO.—The virulence of '
this alarming epidemic low, to a ccnsiderable extent, abated
throughout the district, there being but few fresh cases.
This might, to some extent, be attributed to the energetic
exertions of the local sanitary ins cc:or., seconded by the
praiseworthy zeal of the medical gentlemen. Thaw in com-
fortable circumstances subwril» liberally towards faltering
the wants of their necresitous neighbours.
