SPECIAL COMMISSION.—A special commission, to be
held at Cardiff, in Glarmorganshire, has been issued for
the trial of the Welsh rioters. The judges named in the
commission are Mr. Baron Parke, Mr. Baron Gurney,
and Mr. Justice Cresswell, and the day fixed for the
first sitting of the commission is Saturday, the 21st inst.
The Right Hon. Thomas Frankland Lewis, the Hon.
Robert Henry Clive, and William Cripps, Esq., have
been appointed her Majesty's Commissioners for enquir-
ing into the present state of the turnpike laws in South
Wales, and also into the circumstances which have led to
the recent acts of outrage in that country. G. K. Rick-
ards, Esq., is to be the Secretary to the said Commission.
CONSECRATION Or LLANFYNYDD CHURCH, FLlNT-
stmts.—This church is erected on a site generously given
by T. Brook Yates, Eq., by subscription, principally of
the Earl of Derby, Sir Stephen R. Glynne, the Dean and
Chapter of Winchester, and ilson Jones, Esq., aided
by grants from the Incorporated Society, and the St.
Asaph Diocesan Society. The church contains 427 sit-
tings, of which 329 are to be free. The ceremony of con-
secration was performed by the Bishop of St. Asaph in
the presence of a large congregation, among whom were
many of the first families in that part of the principality.
The Rev. E. S. Thurlow, the sinecure rector of Hope.
has most liberally endowed the new church with £BO per
annum out of the rectorial tithes.

LLANLLECHYDD CHURCH.—The old church of the
parish of Llatillechydd, in the county of Carnarvon, being
in a dilapidated state, and utterly inadequate to the spiri-
tual wants of the people, it is proposed to erect a new
church, near the site of the present building, at a cost of
about £l2OO. This praiseworthy undertaking has origi-
nated in the pious zeal of the Very Rev. the Dean of
Bangor (the rector of the parish), who is always ready to
promote every good work for the extension of the church ;
and when we consider that the object of this charitable
project is to make due provision for the ministrations of
religion among a scattered population of 5.000, we hope
the laudable design will be brought to a speedy and suc-
cessful issue. Many of the neighbouring gentry have
subscribed.

DARING HIGHWAY ROBBERY NEAR MERTHYR, IN
SOUTH WALES.—The Cardiff Advertiser of Saturday
states that this day se'nnight, as Mr. Gaccon, cashier of
the Aberdare Iron Company, whose works are in the vici-
nity, was returning on horse-back from the bank in Mer.
thyr with £2OOO in cash, to pay wages, he was stopp, d on
the mountain at noon-day between that town and Aber-
dare, by three men, and robbed of the whole amount,
which was in a portmeanteau. One of them held a pistol
to his side, and they all escaped in the first instance. An
alarm was, however, given with all possible celerity, and
the numerous workmen at the iron works, as well as the
inhabitants, immediately turned out, and after considerable
search on the mountain discovered the three offenders hid
in a hedge—and what was not less gratifying found the
treasure concealed in various parts in the vicinity. The
prisoners were examined before the magistrates at Mer-
thyr, and were all committed for trial at the sessions, at
Cardiff.

The same paper (in very large type) says that " The Spe-
cial Commission for trying the persons charged with of-
fences on the Borders of Carmarthenshire, is to lie held
at Cardiff ou the 21st instant, before the eminent judges
Parke, Gurney, and Cresswell."
