UNION-HALL.

Yesterday a respectable solicitor attended at thil
office, for the purpose of making the following 9r,
plication :—He stated that a short time ago a youot
man named Brown arrived in town from Somerset'
shire, and, happening to see a money-lender's advelr
tisement, he was induced to try and obtain an ou
vance of 1001., being in want of cash at the tire°
He accordingly applied by letter to the advertisee,.;
and after a correspondence it was agreed that 0
borrower should have the required sum, upon Or
ing his acceptances for 50/. each, payable at a 91::
pulated time. References as to respectability vie,,ro
to be given on both sides, and the advertiser, vol
called himself Mr. Horton, referred to Mr. Eberei
the bookseller, in Bond-street. Mr. Brown, he'
lieving he was in treaty with a monied and
spectable man, enclosed his two acceptances ford';"'
each to the advertiser, who, by a written corninan['
cation, had agreed to discount the bills on being",
lowed 12 per cent. discount. After the adverti°
got possession of the bills, he dropped all ogre;
spondetice with Mr. Brown, who then beefoed
Maimed for the fate of his acceptances, Os,
called at Mr. Ebers's, where upon inquiry he
informed that a person named Horton had latteil
become a quarterly subscriber to their library,
he had left a few shillings there to pay the poSIM
of letters, and that was all they knew about 111")0
It was subsequently ascertained that Mr. Honed
assumed another name when occasion required, 0;
although every exertion had been made to trace t
" gentleman," to get back the bills he had tiodde;
taken to discount,yet it was unattended with sucee7o.
and the object of his (the solicitor's) applicatioct
was, to request the Magistrates' advice how to
in the affair. He added, that he was aware of tee
very foolish manner in which Mr. Brown had act •
in the transaction, in giving his acceptances l°4;
stranger with whom even he had had no interview
and for this piece of folly at was very probable the
advertising money-lender had since negotiated
bills, and converted the money to his own use. mil
Mr. CHAMBERS said that the young man
acted with great incaution in the affair, and me°
mended an advertisement of the bills in the oeei,
papers, cautioning the public not to discount the'

DISTURBANCE AT CARNIARTHE—Isr
8— 0,4
Carmarthen paper contains an account of a disturb3o„
that took place on Monday last in Carmarthen, in C°loo.l
quence of a large party of the inhabitants being oPP
to the appointments of the new Mayor and officers. ot
combat took place between a party of constables a'ijhe'o;
populace, the latter of whom were enraged at a boY
wantonly struck on the head. One constable, 0)il
Davis, who keeps a public-house, fired a pistol fro' ot
window, upon which the mob attempted to pull do° V
house (the Star and Garter). Several shots were tort
fired, principally from his house, and seven person' 'es'
wounded. The Carmarthen paper, the TV elchman
presses great indignation at the conduct of the Magi9trol
who, it is s lid, were at dinner, and would take no 0°
to preserve the peace of the town. It also states that
special constables, composed of colliers brought frol3i4n
adjacent neighbourhood, adopted every means to 06`eer
rate the peop'e. The Mayor and Magistrates are io
tigating the affair, but charges of partiality are del
against them ; and it is stated that they have dilonoi'
the complaints against DAVIS and other parties for Pr pep
though they have committed two respectable tradl,l,ei
for being concerned in an attack on DAVIS'S house ;
parties they have since liberated, first exacting exces_si.2.le//
