    These roads supply coals abundantly on very easy terms , and every article intended either for conversion or comfort , however bulky or weighty , is brought along them and delivered at reasonable rates of charge . By the side of the railway in Blackwood village is also an ordinary carriage road , alone which a stace-coach

    passes regularly twice a-day , and another road is forming over an iron bridge recently erected across the river which runs at the bottom of the original village , which not only opens a new and shorter road into the neighbouring most populous hamlet of the adjoining parish , but connects the two banks of the river so as to

    facilitate the extension of the village in that direction . Of the 260 houses in Black wood , 1 cannot exactly state what are inhabited by their owners , but certainly a considerable portion ; whilst of tradesmen not immediately connected with the neighbouring works there are masons , carpenters , tilers , market-gardeners , blacksmiths , butchers , bakers , and

    sawyers , besides shops of general sale . In Yiiisddee and Trelyn the more recently formed villages , containing each of them from thirty to fifty houses , I am not aware that more than two persons have as yet built houses to let upon speculation ; but several of the industrious cottagers , having established themselves in one house , are now about to build a

    second adjoining . Of the very material improvement which the outward condition of the villagers has undergone , from what has been already said , no doubt can be entertained , and that the consequences of this improvement , previously calculated on as likely to affect their characters

    and usefulness as members of society , were not overrated , the following facts will abundantly prove . Their spare time , when they have any , is not now devoted to the public-house , but mostly to the cultivation of their gardens , many of which exhibit a highly respectable appearance . In the year 1827 , when there

    was a total suspension of the ^ vorks in the neighbourhood for seven weeks , in consequence of a difference befcweeu the coalraasters and their workmen on account of wages , many of the colliers in the country sought for work in the ironworks , leaving their families chargeable to the parishes ; others , and in great numbers , scoured the country for

    twenty miles round , in parties of from five to ten each , levying contributions for their support in victuals and money ; but the village proprietors , without , as I could learn , a single exception , turned into their gardens : that was their resource and from the experience then acquired , they first fully learned the value of a cottage garden ; so that , in the course of the following winter , upwards of three acres of additional garden ground was

    takeu and has been since brought into cultivation . On this trying occasion special constables were required to repress the outrages which were committed , and the villagers offered themselves hi turu to perform this duty . As the only resident magistrate in the district , it fell to my lot to adopt measures for the protection of persons and property on this occasion , and from my own personal knowledge I can declare , that none of the very considerable number of constables then

    sworn in to assist me in this great object , discharged the duties of their office more zealously , patiently and effectually , though they were employed chiefly in the night time , and against many of the rioters , who were their fellow-workmen ; so well had they learned , from having , property of their own , to respect and protect that of others . But I must defer the

    remaining particulars which I have to impart , with a clearer exposition of the principle of the experiment which has been attended with such considerable success , for a future number of your interesting Magazine . JOHN H . MOGGRIDGE .
