observe in The ,S,n of the 12th instant, under
the bead of " Bacon Curing," from a correspondent,
a statement that it is little understood in South Wales, which
I beg to deny; for the counties of Carmarthen, Cardigan,
and Pembroke, particularly the latter, will produce equal•
if not superior, bacon to any county of England or Wales;
%%hid, is generally kept for a year or two, and by persons,
that can afford to do so, for three or four years—slew ericr

PRINCE ALBERY.

In the printed instructions and regulstionf for the fast of
Lent in the year 1840, addressed to ail the fa. tbful in the
London distlic-, by Thomas, Bishop of Olena, yicar apos-
tolic in that district, there is the following passage ;
" We cannot omit, in this our first address to voot,
dearly beloved, after the solemn nuptials of our beiOvt.d
Sovereign, to admonish you of the additional duty which
this jo) ful event imposes on you; though we are coat-
dent your loyalty to her Majesty, and your devotion to your
country have anticipated our admonition. With. heartfelt
acknowledgment ycu have thanked tLe Giver of every
good gift for the auspicious marriage of her Majesty with
his Royal Highness Prince Albert; and have fervently
prayed that their union may be long and happy ; that they
may see their progeny to the third and fourth generations;
and after our gracious Queen shall have administered tem-
poral prosperity to her subjects, they may both be brought
to eternal happiness in heaven. Continue thus to corn
ply, in dutiful affection, with the obligation which Al-
mighty God, by the mouth of St. Paul, imposes, 1 Tim.
ii. 1, 2.

" That these supplications may he unceasing, we have
directed our beloved clergy to insert the name of his
Royal Highness Prince Albert in the prayer which they
daily recite for her Majesty and the Royal Family, at the
end of the adorable Sacrifice."

The words inserted in the prayer ere " Albertum conn
sortern ejus regium."

POLITICAL SUMMARY o THIS

MORNING JOURNALS.

The Morning Post of this day observes, in the course of
a leading article on the subject of the Middlesex meeting
on Friday last, at the Freemasons' Tavern : —" Now that
the right of petition is denied to the general body of then
people by Members of the House of Ccmmons, who, int
support of privilege, become the leaders of hired banditti,.
the Magistrates of Middlesex and the Corporation of the
City of London, who may, perhaps, be permitted for
a fo.v days longer to exercise that right, ought nest'.
and, we believe, will not, neglect it. We venture to
predict that their complaints will, era long, be beard
in the House of Commons in a tone to which that
Assembly has not been recently accustomed ,"—The
Morning Herald, speaking of the meeting Of the
Livery of London, on the Privilege question, which is an-
nounced for this day, observes—" If any attempt shoul.i be
made by a preconcerted plan of priviltge lan unpriviley -Id
ruains to disturb the intended meeting, they ilia find that!
there is a spirit in the citizens of London determined to
vindicate, either against open assault or secret Iftaettery,
;he great cause of constitutional liberty. so alien efslly
violated by the imprisonment of their Sheriffs, and the
siidietive incarceration of attorneys and attorneys' clerks."
The Morning Chronicle, reverting to the Privilege ques—
tion, expresses itself in the fot owing terms
trust, alter the celebration at Freemasons' Tavern, we
shall hear no more of the Overwhelming manifestations or
pnblic opinion against the majority of the House of Com •
mons in the collision with the Court of Queen's Bench.
The knot of cnrrupt jobbers in the city, and their abetters
in the House of Commons, have received a lesson

from which it is to be hoped they duly profit. If
we turn to the provinces, we everywhere end the
journals, which are the acknowledged organs of pubi;e
opinion, condemning the Court of Queen's Bench, and
euppertirg the majority of the House of Commons."—
The Tinos, speaking on the recent ravel discussion in the
Commons, remarks as follows :—"‘ The plain and obvious
consith•raion, which has been entirely lost sight of by men
in office, is, that the force required fo.- our national security
is a relative, not a positive force ; and that the quesion
of adequacy, or the reverse, in our establishments, must
turn by an means exclusively on the number of ships or
seamen afloat, but on the conjoint calculation of the num-
bers maintained by England, and of those which constitute
the establishment of foreign Powers."

THE DUKE OT WELLINGTON.—We rejoice
to state that the Duke of Wellington was yesterday so per-
fectly recovered es to be able to ride about on hortablck to
pay visits. Considering the state of the atmosphere we can-
not but feel that it would have been much bett r had the
Noble Duke been a little less daring. Except fur the young
and strong, yesterday was a day for the fireside. We wish
sincerely that his Grate would condeiccod to think of that
great public interest, jhe preservation of his own health, the
only public interest, a' we intimated the other day, which he
ever for a moment disregards. The Noble Duke did not look
well, but appeared to be in excellent spirits.-211orring Pool.
(From Bell's Ljfe in London.)—" The uni-
versal testimony borne by our numerous friends, as well are by
our Daily Contemporaries, to the surpassing excellence cf ear
Pictorial Illustrations of her Msjesty's Nuptials last week, and
the great demand for extra copies of our paper of February 16,
have induced us to print a second edition, which will be on sale
till the end of March, and may be had of any agent ; or by
sending a letter to the office, enclosing a sixpence, a copy, or
more, of Bell's Life in London will be sent by return of poet.
This is one of the great advantages under the new postage act;
and at all times this means may be adopted of getting copies of
our Journal, provided the order is given before the day of pub-
lication:" Office of Bell's Life in London, 170 Strand.

exception of a fees gentlemen who have taken the populart viewte
on some political questions, his Grace the Duke of Hantilton
and Lord Belhaven were the only Liberals of distinction pre-
sent. Lord Belhaven took no in • part the business, and the
Duke of Hamilton limited his support of the proceedings,
entirely to the services rendered to the country by the
Duke of Wellington " as her best and bravest Gene-
ral" - The meeting was originally intended to be one
of all parties; but this having failed, Lord Kelburne, with that
frankness and candour which distinguishes his statements on
every occasion, openly avowed that since they had not succeeded
in rallying all parties round them, they would not forego their
desire to take notice of the services which the Duke a Welling-
ton has rendered to his country as a Statesman. We are meek
indebted to Lord Kelburne for this undisguised avowal of The
object in view, by the erection of the Glasgow monument to
his Grace of Wellington, though we most readily admit that as
a politician the Duke of Wellington is one of the best of the
Conservative party. The only military gentleman we observed
on the platform was Sir Neil Douglas. He served during all
the campaigns of the Pcnhistilar war up till the conclusion of
the reace after the battle of Waterloo.— Glasgo Chronicle.
