justly appreciate the honour you hale done thew.

We are sorry to state an uclucky accident w hich
happeued, on Saturday sennight, to Capt. JoNEs,
Adjutant of the West Glamorgan Limo, Militia,
now on duty in SWittillti. The corps had assembled
on their exercising ground, and, uftrr (Wavering
the morning returns to the Major, he firm:red.,' t..
mount het borer, but before Le could seat hinieell,
the aiiiin4 suddenly started forward, and Captain
Ju N ES falling, fractured his left leg.

It is calculated, that within one month after the
removal of.the restrictions on American Commerce,
upwards oftnne thousand vessels would leave the
United States for British ports, laden with wheat,
flour, cotton, tobaceo, Arc. This seirsonalile supply
must not only relieve this country from a gie:it
portion of the anxiety which is felt as to the btute of
the growing crops, but will stop a e drainage of the
empire of specie to purchase time emu of France.
11011211A11.—On Wednesday, a disturbance
took place Isere, which at first wore rather a serious
aspect.—A party of volunteers„ from the Artnii4li
militia. amounting to about 40, marching through
the town to join the 51,4 regiment, at Sreyniu t,
behaved iu a very riotous manner nt one of the
public-houses, when, on the Constablea awl I lead-
borough. being called in, they were immediately
attacked by the Irishmen with their shillelaggt 0, and
had not same of the townsmen joined the consta-
bles, they must have been overcome. We are sor-
ry to state, that several inhabitants were very much
hurt, as were likewise some of the !Addle's. Much
to the credit of the Commanding Officer of the
37th regiment, stationed in our barracks, hr imme-
diately on hearing of the affray, ordered out a
guard to fetch the whole of the nttlitiameit into
the barracks for that night. We catinct too
strongly deprecate the pruetice of sending so large
a party of men thruigh the country without an
officer.

A lively, natural, and iuterestiog composition,
highly creditable to the taste and execution of the
artist. The rariousgroupes which adorn this firing
metal. are well imagined. and the rules of perspec-
tive justly obareved. Some of the attitudes and
expressiou of the figures are remarkably pleasing,
and particularly that of the mother standing at the
cottage do..r, where " the guard labourer enjoys his
pipe. Ifer anxiety for her children in the wheel-
barrow. tr well given, both in look and gesture.
The back ground is enlivened by the groupes of
rustics, playing at Moe pins, &c. Of these the
figure of the bowler is sukward and constrained.
