Major Cartwright spoke on the sante side.
The Doke of Bedford a-ssired Suer meeting that he was
adapted to attend meetings neither by the state of his health
nor hi• habits. The present question, however, was so deeply
iuteresting to all elassesof the , that he could sins
resist the opportunity of di daring his sentiments upon this
great and portentous contest between the Crown and the
people, for the iiherties of the people. When he said the

We are extremely happy to learn from undoubted
anthority,..that the iron trade in (ilamorganshire and
Brceonshire has rapidly increased to such an extent, that
the works cannot execute the orders now on hand with
the expedition required by the purchasers; and that
additiOnel foram-vs are erecting in amsequence. The
iron trade of Staffordshire; &c. is also greutly improved.
Accounts from all parts of the country describe the
cnixts of the fine weather upon vegeuttion, as most
delightful. Never did the growing crops appear to
flourish mare kindly, or promise more abundantly ; as
the extreme heat has succeeded to, and been inter-
mingled with, refreshing showers. 'The Wheat is
