There are seven prisoners remaining in custody, one of
whom is Henry Frost, the son of John Frost, whose exami-
nation is looked forward to with great anxiety, and will take
place to-morrow. The court was much crowded to-day, ex-
pecting it would come on. The country around Pontypool
and at Merthyr is in a very disturbed state, Colonel Consi-
dine having been sent for express to Merthyr in the night.
Three companies of the 45th have to-day marched for Cardiff
and Pontypool.

(Pronz the Morning Herald of 1 esterday)
MoNmounr, TUESDAY, Nov. 12.—We are still tranquil
here. Since last I wrote nothing of any consequence has
occurred. The guard still continues at the gaol, and all the
authorities. There exists in many quarters a sort of smo-
thered apprehension about the chartists making another at-
tempt. No more prisoners have as yet arrived, but I think
it likely that another batch will come in to-day.
I have just learned that a letter was received last night by
the mayor, Thomas Dyke, Esq., from the Marquis of Nor-
manby. It came by expreass. I send you below a copy of it.
" Sir,—lt being considered expedient, under existing cir-
cumstances, that an officer of experience should be stationed
in command of the troops in Monmouthshire and the adja-
cent districts, I have the honour to acquaint you that Lieu-
tenant-Colonel Considine has been selected for the service.
He will leave London to-night (Monday) to assume the
command, and I beg to make him known to you, and to
request that you will afford him all the information in your
power with respect to your town and neighbourhood.
(Signed) " NORMANBY."
The mayor has also this day received a letter from Lieut.
Colonel Considine. stating that he will be here to-morrow.
He is at present at Newport, and suggesting the propriety of
having some temporary barracks fitted up for the troops, to
avoid the inconvenience and perhaps liability to surprise in
their being stationed about by billet at different houses
through th town. In compliance with this suggestion the
mayor has given orders that the borough court, a large and
spacious building, and well adapted for such a purpose, should
be fitted up for the occasion. I have not heard how many
men are to be sent here. I shall not close this letter till the
last moment, in order that I may be able to acquaint you if
any more prisoners arrive.

HALF-PAST Two o'CLocK.—Another prisoner has just
arrived, Solomon Brittan. He is fully committed for high
treason and sedition. The magistrates signing the warrant
of committal are Thomas Hawkins, William Brewer, and
Octavious Morgan, Esqrs., and James Coles, clerk. Other
prisorers are expected to arrive during the day.
