" Tu remedy these manifol' ) evils , to ¦ which I have traccl the miseries an-i tnET-rrii-KS of my country , it has betn acknowledged bv evtry mtn ¦« & « is not wnh ' n tl- . * pale of nsjrpatian and corruption , that G ^ TBOiic Emaxcjpatioh , and a restoration of PuPBLab Kepbesestatios , are the oniy tfficient expeoients . Bot U justice , which requires that no man , mnch less : the decided msjority of a nation , should be deprived of [ his political rights on account of his religious opinions , ordains that the Catholics should not liave fewercigbts than the Protestants ; and if it is an-incontrovertible fact , that such is the present usurpation of rights ; as well Protestant as Catholic that even though the Catholics were admitted to the fullest participation of the rights possessed by tbetr Protestant feTlow-dtizsns at
present , both Protestant and Catholic would find , that the rights of which they were robbed , were Infinitely more numerous , and more important , than those they enjoyed , even befere the present annihilation of every Testage of constitutional right—it must appear manifest to the most superficial observer , that Catbplie exaltation to the present height of Protestant freedom only , must prove whelly inadequate to the establishment of our Nattokai , LrBBKrr . Disdaining , then , to add one argument more , to the thousands which remain already unanswered , in favour ef the Emancipation of my Catholic Countrymen , letting it rest on : the solid basis of justice , and blending it with the general cemse , I shall conclude this address with an investigation of our general right . ¦
He then , after many pages of demonstration , concludes those"If 1 have succeeded in demonstrating that self-¦ interest is tne governing principle in politics , as well as of all human action ; that we are the creatnres of our want and desires ; that those who possess the means of satisfying those wants and desires , must possess the mesas cf influencing the actions , and commanding the services of mankind ; that those who possess property are possessed of those means , and that those laws "which monopolize property , invest a few with the power of dictating to the many , which is invariably abused , and a necessity on the part of the many ? of yielding to such a dictation , I trust I have impressed on the minds of my countrymen , that all Reform which
would leave the monopoly ef property untouched , must prove insufficient , and that the only reformation i by which their liberties can be secured is that which flestroys the dependence , and establishes-the independence , of the Weolx COSSTjtvsht Bodt . I trnst 3 have convinced them , that the independence of the Constituent Body is the guardian of liberty , and not the discretion or virtue of those they elect ; and that the abolition of all laws for the monopoly of property is the soie means by which it can be established . UBKHTT CANSOT STAKD BUT OS THE BBOAD . F 1 E . M . ASD PEfiFECT BASIS OP UNIVERSAL RESEN'TATION . Be the superstructure what it may if ynn will have Liberty , you must first establish this foundation for it to rest on ; and that you may have this perfect representative basis , you mnst look to the constituent people of whom it is formed ;
you must abolish all monopolies , which other wise wonld destroy your independence . Thus yon will reform tocbseltes . This is Vie trueReformaHoh " Finally , we commend this hook to universal read ing ; and especially to Irishmen , for whom it is not less calcnlaTed now in 1843 , than at its first publication in J 7 S 3 . Irishmen now seek Repeal ; and the reasonable pretext for their asking is , that they stand not on a level with England , with which they aTe pretended to be united . But let them beware of any Bepeal which would merely raise them to the level of misgovernmenJ in England for this wonld be only , as Arthur O'Connor says , to discover that the rights to which they had been admitted were comparatively valueless , and infinitely less than those from which they were still debarred ; and that it was just time to T >* gin a new straggle for the attainment of their true position .

" REBECCA" IN WALES . ? Rebecca" is far from being appeased . She BViU continues her nocturnal visita ; and though her destructive prowess iB , for the present , confined ' ¦ to Toll-gates and Toll-hou ? £ s , it is apparent that there are other and deeper cause 3 of dissatisfaction which will , in all probability , lead to more extended action , unless a vigorons and adequate remedy for the intolerable grievances of the Farmers and their labourers be immediately devised and applied There is great room to doubt that onr " Siah-smeh " have-not , the nBceEsary courage even to attempt this . They will rely on the" ordinary powera of the law "
to snppressjthe spirit of dissatisfaction and outrage f anfitfr these are not snfiicient for the purpose they will apply for , and receive *• extraordinary " powers . By these means they may possibly succeed in " putting down" " Eebecca "; though it would appear from her sytematised movements ; the nature of ihe country she has at present for her abode ; and ihe spirit and faithfulness of the sons of ths hills , that sach "putting-down" will not be accomplished without difficulty . But should this " policy" succeed , what better shall we be ? Shall we have ridded ourselves of the danger ? Will the causes of the turmoil and ferment be removed 1 If ** Rebecca" be hanged cyen , "will that
enable the Farmers to pay their fixed Tithes "; their " increased and ikcreasikg Rales" ; their u high Rents "; and their ** EXCESSIVE taxa-dos" Will the stringing-up of " * ' Rebecca" add to their ability to pay these " vrx £ D charges , vnlh Wheat at six shillings a bushel 1 O , no ' - There is the cause To that point onr efforts must be directed . Peel ought to find out the way how to enable lie Farmers to pay the Rents , Hates and Taxes * fixed" when Wheat was at ten and twelve shillings a-bnshel , now that he has by his Peel ' s Bill and his Peel ' s Tariff reduced Wheat to six shillings a-bnshel ! When he has done that , he will have ridded himself of the inconveniences and dangers arising from the organized moTementB of "Rebecca and her daughters *' : but
until he has done that , ot reduced Rents , Rales and Taxes to the altered circumstances of the country consequent on his measures , he will meld the powers of the law , whether " ordinary , " or " extraordinary , " to veiy little purpose . Every thing in connection with this matter is of high moment ; especially to the toiling millions of British subjects , whether located in England , Wales , Ireland , or Scotland . To them it iB , indeed , all-important . The pressure of the system has , at last , reached the middle class Fanners . It has long been known that ihe only hope for redemption on the part of the working-producer from a state of | |
thraldom and consequent poverty and keen privation , was in the certainty that THE THISG wonld destroy even those who had contributed to its malntainence , at the expense of the comfort , well being , personal liberty , and eYen the lrres of the mast . ¦ That hope is now on the eve of being realized J The screw has reached the middle-classes . It is working them np to desperation . They openlj avow their own " recklessness" and " don ' t-care-whatihey-do ^ -ism 2 It is of this class that" Rebecca" is the head ! She is leading them pretty successfully as yet ; and we have not seen , nor are we able to anticipate , the effects that may result from her warfare .
The writer in the Times , from whom we qnoied so copiously last week , continues his communications . The nature of the straggle he describes , and the minute revelations he makes , as to the condition , feelings , and designs of the Welsh Farmers ; together with his candid and open avowal of the real causes of the * ' Rebecca" ferment ; make apology needless for again giving copious extracts from his epistles . To understand the nature , and extent , aud cause of the Welsh Farmers' movement i 3 of the last importance to those for whom we write , Here are the means t& enable them to form an opinion : — SarbcTih .

That lawihaa caused a pretty many to be put oat of the way—it Causes the murder of the innocent—bnt nothing can-stand that is against God , and this law is against God ' s werd . "
On Teaching Narbertb , although it was then that late hour of the night at which usually the inhabitants are all at rest , J found the town in a complete commotion . The magistrates had held a sitting ; special constables had been sworn in ; and a squadron of the Castle Martin yeomanry cavalry { the same regiment which distinguished themselves against the French at Pishguard ) commanded by Major Bowling and Lieutenants Bryant andByers , had just marched in . I inquired carefully as to their reasons for apprehending another visit from "Rebecca , " finding that she had not only been there three times already , but had destroyed all the gates above the town . I was informed by one of the magistrates that the redoubtable ¦• Rebecca" herself bad on Monday evening passed through where the toll-rate and
toll-honse at the upper part of the town used to Stand , and addressed the toll-collector , demanded what he did there , and upon the man ' s attemptina to answer , told him that between that time and Thursday night she and her children , to the number of 1 , 000 , should come again , and that if he was there and demanded toll , she would not pay it , but blow bis brains out . The tollcollector then asked what she could want there as both the gate and the toll-house were down . " Rebecca " replied that there were larger houses than that should come down . The man then said , " What 2 the poorhouse ? " "I answer no questions , but you shall see , " was the answer , and she passed on , leaving the collector in a state of the utmost consternation . As the Union Workhouse bad keen threatened with an attack
during the night , a detachment of the yeomanry , under tile command of Sergeant-Msj » r Rees , was stationed in the house the whole night ; and special constables were sent out to observe anything which might take place in the surrounding ; country ; a despatch was also sent express to Captain ; Mangel ] , at St . dear ' s , to tall ont the troops under bis command , and scour the various roads between St . ; dear ' s and Narbeth , so as to be enabled to render any assistance which might be needed , and also to cut off any parties they might meet on the roadB . At about half-past twelve o'clock at nigfat the special constables , who were ont upon the watch on the Cardigan road , observed the "Iiebeccaites" approaching to the number of between 600 and 1 . 000 , on horseback and on foot , with " Rebecca" at their head . They came
on to within half a mile of the upper gate of the town where they were met by some one belonging to their party , who informed them of the arrival of the military , and thataportion of them were atstioued at the Workbouse . This caused a hilt and a consultation among them . At length , however , the constable incautiously showed himself , and the party , seeing that they were watched , made of £ To-day the great fair was held at Narbeth , but all passed off quietly , owine , bo doubt , to the presence of the military . There were hundreds of fine cattle and horses at the ifair ; but every one said they bad never known so bad a one ; no purchases were made , and , in fact , the prices offered will be perfectly Btartling to your English rtaders , viz ., for yearlings only £ 4 were offered f for a pair of last year ' s calves 25 s . each ; and for a very fine ceir not £ 4 ; horses did not sell at all . I inquired also as to the working of the Poor Law here , and endeavoured to procure a
dietary , &c but was told by the clerk that he could not give it withont an order from the Board The farmers and all others , however , complain of some of its clauses bitterly , and declare that the rates are very much higher since it has been in operation . With regard to the tells , they are as oppressive here as in Carmarthenshire ; only imagine , for instance , from Bigelly to Narbertb , a distance of 4 j miles , there are three toll-gates , each charging 6 d . and 96 . as the case may be . Above Narberth there are no toll-gates ; there were nine on the Whitland trust , viz ., Pulthrap , 1 ; Trev&ughan , 2 ; Narbjsrth-east , 2 ; Narberth Plaindealings-gaie , 2 ; Princes or Ludcburch , 2 ; and Koberston Watheu 1 . Every one of these are down , and the bouses also , with the exception of the house at Ludcburch , which is only partly demolished . Nor wonld tbeTJnien Houses here stand a single night unless garrisoned by military . :

Meetings have been held by the Magistrates , and special constables B \ vorn in . A very active and influential Magistrate has , however , publicly ! stated it as his opinion that they axe useless , using these emphatic words : — " I do % ot believe that a iaingle constable conld be found in the county who would or could execute a warrant . " Some of the ] magistrates having rendered themselves unpopular , the following notice has been served upon some of their tenantry , and I , will leave your readers to draw ! their own inferences as to the effect produced by it on the minds of any but the most stout-hearted persons : — " To John Evans of Pantwity ~ a tenant of Captain Davies , of Green Hall .
" Sit I give you notice to quit yonr premises and take everything yea have on your premises- away , and put them safe , as we , Rebecca and her daughters will be there to destroy the whole house and everything in our power to destroy on the premises besides , As your master and other gentlemen are revenging on the people they took to prison yesterday We Rebecca ' s daughters are determined to have onr revenge out upon them to pull all their houses down , and put all their woods on fire , and likely murder them iu the bargain . "
I have copied this notice verbatim el literatim ; even to the punctuation ; and it will be seen by the apostrophe used in the word ' Rebecca ' s" that it is the production of no ignorant person .

DALKEITH . A Delegate Meeting of the colliers of Mid apd East Lothian was held on Saturday last , the latfiust ., at the house of Mr . Douglas , Gallows-hall toll , to take into consideration the propriety of joining the Miner's Association of Great Britain and Ireland . There were twenty delegates present , and a great many more would have attended but the meeting was not generally known . Mr . Thomas Young ! was called to the chair , and Mr . Win . Daniellg appointed secretary pro tern . The meeting was addressed at considerable length by Mr . Wm . Daniells , who showed the gross injustice practiced upon colliers generally , exhorted them to join their English brethren , as the only means by
which they could better their condition , or even keep their present position . He was much applauded . A discussion tht ; n took place among the delegates on the laws of the above society , which were unanimously approved of s and the delegates pledgedithetnselves to use the influence they possessed to induce the colliers they represented to join the same . After a vote of thanks had been given to the . Chairman and to Mr . Wm . Darnells , the meeting , which was a very harmonious one , broke up . ' There will be another delegate meeting on Saturday , 15 th of July , in the Freemason ' s Hall , Daikeith , chair taken at six o ' clock iu the evening . There is every prospect of the Scottish co \ liers shortly joining their Engliah brethren . ' ' '
STOCKPORT . —Repeal op the Union . —On Wednesday evening last . Mr . Thomas Clark lectured on this subject du Cave Green . The audience was large , and enthusiastic , the majority being Mr . Clark's pwn countrymen , who listened with breathleBS attention to ihe unanswerable facts adduced in favour of the Repeal . At the close of the lecture a person entirely unknown asked permission to speak , which was readily granted . His address was nothing better than a very silly appeal to the worst pftfaionaoi' Irishmen , and a denunciation of Englishmen , who , he : said , would , if they had the chance , again volunteer to put . Irishmen dovya . Mr . Clark replied and deprecated all attempts to sow dissensions amongst men , who had such an interest in being united . The best possible feeling was the result of Air .

HOUSE OF COMMONSJ-Friday , Jp » e 3 D . The amendments of the Lords to the Northampton and Peterborough Railway Billjwere agreed to . On the motion of Mr . Greene-, Chairman of Committees , Mr . Thomas Clarke , solicitor , was called to the bar , and stated that he had been agent for the Marquis of Townshend for the last twenty years , and that the Marquis bad approved of the Townshend Peerage Bill now passing through the Houses of Legislature . On another motion made by Mr . ( Jreene relative to the Bill , the Earl of Leicester ( evidently labouring under emotion ) asked the House for titneto bring forward the evidence in bis own defence , a ' nd expressed his belief that there was more at the bottom of the transaction than had appeared by the evidence .
Mr . S . Wortley , who introduced the Bill , assured the Noble Lord ihat there was no disposition to burry forward the Bill ; and that any application he might make in Committee would be listened to in a spirit of the most perfect fairness . 1 Mr . F . Berkeley gave notice that when the Inclosure Bill came again before jUie House he should move that it should not apply to any lands within ten miles of London or within Qve mileaot any other town . In answer to a question from Mr . Aelionby , Sir James Graham said a communication bad been made by the Chancellor of the Exchequer to tbe Postmaster-General , calling his attention to the Act for the Registration of Voters , and the necessary order , both with respect te objections and notices ol claims , bad been prepared by the Post-office , and all the necessary operations would be in force this day . THE FACTORIES BILL .
Mr . B . Hawes begged to ask the Right Hon . Baronet , the Secretary of State for the Home Department , a question relating to the Factories Education Bill . It was generally understood , that when tbe Right Hon . Gentleman struck out the clauses relating to education , be left education precisely in the same state in the factory districts , as it was under the old law . What he wished to ask the Right Hon . Baronet was whether or not , in the clauses relating to education still standing in the bill , there was any new matter ; and whether
they extended beyond that of giving to the Privy Council a power of appointment of inspectors ? Sir James Graham said the Honourable Gentleman bad been so obliging as to give him notice of his intention to ask this question ; but in doing so tbe Honourable Gentleman had paid him ( Sir James Graham ) an unmerited compliment , in supposing that it was in his power , by any explanation he could give , to make the matter more intelligible than tlie bill itself set forth . The whole of the bill relative to education was comprised in four clauses , the 28 th and the Slat inclusive .
Mr . Hawes said that very Considerable misapprehension existed out of deors , as to the tendency of the clauses retained ; and he thought it would not only tend to the convenience of tbe Hjnuse , but to the public itself , if the Right Honourable Gentleman would enter into a brief explanation of these clauses as they now stood . | Sir J . Graham believed that as the law existed , and as be proposed it to stand , it would be very much the same . At the present time , those who were subjected to the compulsory law were persons between the ages of nine and thirteen . It was proposed to reduce the age from nine to eight . At present ckildren were liable to work in factories for eight hours , and to be educated at any period during the twenty-four hours . It was now proposed tbat the children should only work six hours and a half each day : and ! that thev should not
Work both in the forenoon and the afternoon ; but tbat the six hours and a half should either b& in the forenoon or in the afternoon , and that in five days out of seven there should be education for thr ^ ee hours , either in the forenoon on in the afternoon . By the present law , ne notice was taken as to the place where the education was given , or as to the system of instruction that was adopted . Now , U was proposed by the present bill that the Privy Council should have the power to appoint inspectors to visit all the schools by which certificates were granted ; and on receiving ] a report from the inspectors as to the inconvenience of tbe place , or as to any objection in tbe method of education pursued , the Privy Council were empowered to' netify to the schoolmaster the defect so reported ; and unless within three months that defect should be { remedied , tba Privy Council Wuuld have the power of ( topping the grant made to the school . He believed he had now stated
exactly the extent of tbe alterations proposed , without omitting anything of the least importance . On the order of the day for going into Committee of supply , j Mr . Hume rose to move resolutions , importing that the pension of £ 21 , 000 a year paid to the Duke of Cumberland ought to be discontinued while be continues to be King of Hanover . No one would be more opposed than himself to any breach of public faith : but no snch bTeachLwould folljow from the Btep he now proposed . He referred to the Acts of Parliament on which tbe pensions of the JRoyal Dukes depend ; and be argued , from the language of the enactments , that the provision was originally intended to cease in any case where it was no longer wanted for the maintainance of its object as a member of the English Royal Family . On the occasion of tbe jlate grant to tbe Princess Augusta of Cambridge , the popular character ot her father was insisted on : be would now , on the
ground of unpopularity , withhold the public money from the Duke of Cumberland ! But his main objection was , that the Duke was now an independent Sovereign ; for be thought the ' money of the English people ought not to be placed ] at tbe disposal of a foreign power , who might employ it against their interests . He had received a paper from several working men , showing that this money would maintain 1 , 050 families , and that the exportation of it was the withdrawal of so much from the ; capital which should employ British labour . The King of Belgium had voluntarily given up the enjoyment of his pension ; the King of Hanover ought to be in no better situation Most censurable had been the conduct of tbe Duke of
Cumberland in 1835 with respect to Orange lodges , which he , a Field Marshal of England , had continued to encourage among the troops , jin disobedience to the orders of the Horse Guards . He ; ought to have been , brought to a court-martial for that . The Orangemen took a secret oath—an iiiegai thing , for which poor men , seeking only a rise of wages , had been tried and ^ Mr ^ WiLLiAMS seconded the motion . T here were now three Sovereign Princes living upon the Engliah taxes—the King of Hanover , the Kmg of Belgium , and the Duke of Mecklenburgh j S ' , relUz . These , and the like burdens , were the causes of the present
paup . \ Sir R . Peel considered that it would be inconsistent with the good faith of Parliament to withdraw this grant . He thought that the subject of the Orange LodgeB bad been somewhat unfairly introduced ; and referred to the proceedings which j took place in Parliament upon that subject in 1835 , including a letter from the Duke to Lord J . Russell , then read by tbat Noble Lord t » the House , from whict } it appeared that his Royal Highness , ou learning bis Majesty ' s pleasure , had taken immediate steps toward the dissolution of the lodges . Parliament in 1931 when it guaranteed this pension , must have been well ] aware that the Duke of Cumberland was likely to become King of Hanover ; for the . Dukes of York aod Kent were then dead , and there was little probability tbat King William wouldhave a son . On two former occasions when this attempt had been made by Mr . Hume , Parliament bad refused to iDtetfere ; and those refusals were substantial confirmations of the grant . j
Mr . Wallace oomplained that tbe Duke had refused to be examined before a committee of the House of Commons on tbe subject of the Orange Lodges . He spoke of the Duke ] in terms of general disparagement .

Mr FERRand asfced , who hid maae this motion ? Why , the member who obtained his fir * t seat in Parliament through the itfiu uce of the Dike , at Wey-. noutbl He wonld leave Mr . Hume to his conscience ; it he had one . The Orangemen had been caiuin . iated , auo . now Ireland was in tbe h-inds of traitors . The OrsD ^ emen would stand by their Qaeen , when the Belflsb Tiews of their opponents would be plainly discerned . MrvC . BtJLLER . in supporting this motion , proceeded on no ground of hostility to the King of Hanover :
bnt be construed the words , of the Legislature as intenfling tfce grant merely for the support of a member of tbeJRejysi family as sach . Considering the inability of the Crown to provide for its children , he regarded the nation w in loco pareniis to them ; bnt What parent wonJtf strip himself to enrich a child who had come into a ftsrge fortune frem another quarter ? It wa ? not wise to * press the people too hardly upon ouch » subj « ct : they were willing t& maintain their own Royal family ; bo * if snch grants as these were forced upon them , they wald look more" rigorously into tha whole . sur . ject
. Sir Howard Dossias Euppertetf the claim of the King of Hanover . Captain Berkeley saw no greater beach of faith in withdrawing this peneion , than in discontinuing tha title of the widows of naval officers to the pensions which , they could former !? claim . Mr . Ferrand had sajd Ireland was in tbe £ br > U 3 of traitors : be himself had supposed it to be in tbe hands of H « r Majesty ' s Ministers . xhe House then
divided—For Mr . Hume ' s motion ... 91 Against 197 Majority against it 106 Monday Jul ? 3 . Mr . Villiers presented a petition from the landowners , farmers , and inhabitants o € K-snt , agreed te at a meeting on Penenden-heath , for & repeal of the cornlaws . Mr . FErrand presented a petition from 25 * 000 thread-work knitters of the counties of Nottingham , I > erby , and Leicester , complaining of the suffering to which they were subjected by the effeats of machinery , and save notice that he would bring it under the notice of the House at . tn early day . The Norfolk Island Bill was read a second time . Mr . Blewitt gave notice that he would on Tuesday ask her Majesty's Ministers whether the D&ke of Wellington was in the political service of the Crown , subject to Ministerial responsibility .
The House went int » committee on the Irish Arms
Bill . Lord Ceements vindicated his motives In resisting the progress of the Bill . It was a penal measure ; and every ; hoar , nay , every minute , in obstructing its passage , was so much additional liberty to Ireland . Tbe House then Went into committee , beginning with the ninth clause , which had been , postponed on Thursday night last , on account of the ambiguity of its phraseology . The Government now proposed- what was practically a new clause , as the phraseology was entirely reconstructed . Ltrd John Russell , Mr . Moore O'Ferrall , and Mr . Pigott dwelt on the fact that , notwithstanding the ani ; e ? which bad been manifested on the part of the Government and its supporters , on Thursday night , they had now substantially admitted that they had been in tbe wrong , and practically confessed that the Bill was clumsily constructed , thereby justifying the pertinacious opposition which had been given to it .
Mr . Roebuck objected that according to the forma of tbe House , tbe clause mast be postponed to the end of the bill , as it was substantially a new one . The Chairman decided that it was not substantially a new clause , but aa amendment of the existing one . Mr , Roebuck told him that this was a point not for the decision of the Chairman , but of the committee-Lord John Russell said it was a matter of convenience , on which strict rule need not be scrupulously adhered to . After considerable discussion , there was a division , when the clause was carried by 128 to 69 . Tbe 10 th clause was agreed to ; but tbe Ilth clause provoked a long discussion , with several divisions .
Mr . Morgan John O Cornell , Sir Denbaac Norreys and other members , assailed the Atterney General for Ireland , who seemed incapabte of understanding , or explaining tbe meaning of a Bill , for which , on the part of the Government , he was responsible . At last , after a tough struggle , through every sentence , and the introduction of several amendments , the 11 th clause was ordered to stand part of the Bill . " The 12 th clause , which enacts the penalty for keeping arms' without license , after an amendment , to which the Government acceded , was carried .
Here the further progress ot the Bill was suspended ; and after disposing of seme other business , the House adjourned .

From the interior the supplies of Flour do not exceed the current demand for the article . At oar market this morning a firmer feeling was exhibited , and the late quotations of WheaD were fully supported . Flour was in fair request , and , in some instances , an improvemen t on the rates of this day se'nnight was obtained .

Yesterday , a very full » meeting of tbe magistrates of the county of Pembroke was held at Haverfordwest Colonel Owen , Vice-Lieutenant of the county , took tbe chair , and the following magistrates were present : —Messrs . John Phillips , of Willianutone , John Lori Phillips , John Allen Lloyd Phillipps , Henry Leach , chairman of the quarter sessions , Jonathan Peol , John Hill Harris , John Edwards , W . B . Swan , James Mark Child , William Jones Heathfield , George Roach , C . Mathias , Junes Propert , Charles Bowen , Joshua Painter , George Howe , William Phillips , of Bride ' shill , and the Revs . G . Harris , Canon of St . David ' s , F . Leech , John Pugb , Thomas Pbelps Martin , James James , ic . The Mayor i > f Haverford-west , and the two other borough magistrates also attended .
The Chairman commenced by rending tbe Secretary of State ' s letter , which stated that la -consequence of infonnatfvn which the Government had received , directions had been gives to Colonel Love to proceed to Wales , and take the command of the troops there , and exhorting the magistrates to a strict discharge of their duties , by issuing warrants against all offenders , the Government having placed such troops at their disposal as they thonght sufficient to preserve the peace . It also expressed the readiness of the Government to offer snch a reward as would lead to conviction . The chairman then required the opinion ef the meeting as to what was necessary to be done , and after some consultation , it was decided that the southern districts of the county were in snch a disturbed state that it was necessary to have a reinforcement of troops , to be stationed at Narberth aa the moBt central place , and tbat a communication to that effect Bhould be immediately made to the Home Secretary .
The Magistrates then issued an order for the assembling of the Yeomanry Cavalry , to be statiened at Narber tb until relieved by some regular troops . Various remedies were also suggested , some magistrates recommending that the pensioners should be called out , and placed under the command of tbe Adjutant of the Militia ; and a manifesto was ordered to be drawn out , stating that the magistrates were prepared to hear and to redress any real grievances in their power . : At length one of the Magistrates said— " Gentlemen , —A number of remedies has been suggested , but I have not heard one observation as to the real evil , which is ihe poverty and distress of the country , and which Has AR 1 S . EN > ROM HIGH REKTS , INCREASED AND
INCREASING TITHES , EXORBITANT POOR AND HIGHWAY rates , AND EXCESSIVE TAXATION i tcfiiie the depression upon Agricultural Produce is such as to put it totally out of the power of avy 7 / ian to meet these demands . " This caused a general sensation ; and the magistrate continued— " I call upon every gentleman present to lay his hand upon his heart and say if such be not tbe case . " This matter , however , was not entered upon , and the meeting separated . I shall offer no remark upon this , but am bound to say that 1 see nothing bnt distress in the country . The fanners , instead of living as we were used to see them , live and eat with their servants , and upon such simple food as barley bread and buttermilk , flummery and potatoes . ;
Begelly , just below Narberth , is in the centre of e ' ght parishes , which are all dependant upon tbe Anthrac te Collieries . 1 have myself personally inspected those collieries , and have seen at one of them , tbat of the Messrs . Ptwock , of St . Bride ' s Wharf , Loadon , I Bhould say upwards of from 8 , 000 to 12 , 000 tons of anthracite lying on the ground spoiling from the depressed state of the trade . There are others here—tbe Kilgettj , Broadmore , Merton , and Heancastie Collieries —similarly situated . The proprietors must be suffering immense loss ' from the ! deterioration occasioned to this species of coal by its lying exposed to the weather ; and the proprietors deserve high praise for spiritedly continuing the works under existing difficulties ,- for were they stopped , 1 fear that the result to this portion of the county , which is now peaceful and happy , would be lamentable . CarmarlheA , Saturday Night , July 1 .
Von have no donbfc in town been alarmed by a statement pnblished in the Standard , statins ; that there had been a battle at Newcastle Emlyn between the troops and the mob , in which theioldierB were worsted . Haling read the statement , I happily am enabled to give it a complete contradiction ; ' although it contains many things that are true , such for instance as the death of the soldier Kearns , and is very ingeniously put together . It is perfectly true that the Dragoons did ma ch to Newcastle Emlyn on that d » y , and that one of the men was drowned , but it waB accidentally while bathing , as 1 have already informed you in a previous report , and I should not have again alluded to it , but for the impression which mnst have been made by the report in the Standard . Such an account having gained admission into its columns is * however , only another instance of tbe
propriety of a paper relying for its information upon its accredited reporters alone ; who being upon the spot , and MBponsiblefor their conduct , will of course take care not to furnish any statements which they have not well ascertained to be correct . In fact , -there baa been x » o coTllalon . between the Kebeccaitea and the military aince the attack at Carmarthen on the Monday , although the woik of gate destruction continnes unabated , and is indeed carried on every night wish greater tffrontory tbap ever : they are , however , too wary , and have their o \ itscouts too well posted , to beeaugbt , to which must be added that not a single person in the country would give information . I conversed with a fery respectable man to-day , who is aware of many of their doings , and knows their persons : he told me tbat be had persuaded them not to
