Commissioner Wohtlet said that as be "was desirous to give effect to tbe . Tecommeniialion of the Jnry , be should delay passing sentence . There bad , no doubt , been great irregularity and reflect on Iba part of lie towuehipofficers ; yet the offence ; of which ths prisoner had been convicted was a very grave one .

      His lordship , in passing sectenco , said j that but for the recomnisEdation of the Jury he shonld bave felt it his duty to sentence the prisoner to transportation ; but under all tbe circumstances be thought it would niset the justice of the caEe if a less severe sentence were imposed . The sentence of the Court was , that be be imprisoned and kept to hard labour in the House of Correction for twelve calendar months .

      u Rebecca" Blfll holds up her head ! Nay , she increases in her faring . The state of Wales is must critical An organized opposition to " constituted" authority is there systematically at work ; and it has hitherto baffled all the efforts made to put it down . From the correspondent of the Times we again give the following information from the seat of Rebecca ' s warfare : — « ' Llawdilo Fawb ., July 21 . " Since my ls * t communication I have been almost constantly in the saddle— " -the stirrin ? scenes around xne have been so numerous , " and in snch a variety of uirectioaa . Instead of being awed by the presence cf ttiQ military , the doings of Rebecca become more *! arrnjr , and -the disorganization of society bera more apparent . . It is , bowever , equally strange , that except -B-here tie outrages are actually being comzaitted , -a apparently profound peace reigns , and persons con travel through the country in perfect security .

      *• T 6 a assrzss at Carmarthen terminated yesterday by tbe discharge of 60 of the BebeccaiUs , against whom no bIP . 8 had been presented , and by tbe bail of twelve prisons being enlarged in consequence of the writ of certiorori . ' ¦ " In tba course of my ride to-day 1 saw many instances of tbe destruction of gates by Rttxrca and her followers . At Uanvihaugel tbere are , or rather were , four gates and a tollhouse . This place is situate within 160 yards of Golden-grove , tbo seat of E ^ rl Cawdm-i yet a few nights since they were all tJestroyed , ihB toH-honses pulled down , acd ibe toll-teeper » a far-Eiture broken to pieces with tbe utnicst daring and fho tnost perfect impunity , altboughl the family and servants were all at home at Golden-grove .

      " While I was in Uaadilo last evening , ; I obtained some information that tbere was to be a secret meeting of tbe Bebeccaites somewhere between this place and Uandovery , and although told it -would be most dangerous for me to do so , I resolved if possible , to be present at It , and personally observe ! , their proceedings- I accordingly had a horse saddled , and having proceeded for some few miles on the rosd ( it wzs by this time atant eigtt o'clock at night ) , I l ^ srnedthat tbe intended meeting was to be he'd at a place about a mile off tbe main road , called Cwm Ivor , or Ivor's Dingle , and having left niy iiorse at a roadside public-house , I walked to the spot . At that time there was only cue person present * who was walking in tbe buiyipg-srouBd of the chapel of the

      little hamlet . It Is impossible to c « nce ) ve a more romantic spot than this ^ -a dtep xlade surrounded by mountains on every ride , with sides covered with verdure , presenting a scene of such complete repose , ttat one "would almoBt suppose they had never been troded by the foj > t of man . As tbe evening closed in however , tbe farrutrB , &a could be seen approaching by the various bridle paths and down the mountain sides , nntil , at Ir-D ^ th , I should say 300 persons were present . 1 was na * arally looked upon as an object ot suspicion and misuust ; but , having entered into conversation with one of these persons , I informed him f < urly tlm my -wh-le object was to obtain correct information as to tbe state oi the country aufl the "varioas proceedniss now going on ; tbBt I

      represented ons of the louden te"afspapei 3 , and tbat if fcbey lu > d grievances , the very btsi couise wonld be their pnW . cition , by which mEau every one wonld be able to judge of the justice of their complaints . At my suggestion he agreed to communlcat * this to the meeting in Welsh , and bear what they said to it -While I remained nt a distance , a debate ensued between them for sonir ici . ntt-s . aDd at length I was informed tbat they intended * j 'timing to iheadjoining school room , where I BbonlQ "be i ^ pectfcd explicitly to state wh&t l had told him aiidtijty would * bta judge wijeiberlnughtor might not be pres = nt . TLey ailjonmed accordingly ; two candlrs w * = re lit , ami tht . soaool-room waa filled to suffocation , besides the stepB leading to ; it , and tbe groaut : oniside- A chairman was chosen , and I stated

      fairij ibat I bad no other object tiun to gain information & rt-octly , and pledged ihj word of honour that I came there with do other purpose than that of reporting to tbe paper with which I "s ^ as connected . Tbe chairman then , after someo ? jsctions had bten made , pnt it to toe ikm-Uts ; , aod the shew of bands decided that I should be present The proceedings of the meeiing then commenced , and speeches which had been reduced to writing were read in the Welch language . They all toJd ti > e same tale of ths poveity of tbs people , and of tne gritfrapceB which tbey suffered , Reutfl , it was declared , sconld be loirere * , tbe tolls alLertd , and tiie iiitamoos Poor Law abolished , and for these purposes it was proposed tbat tbsy should form unions or lodges .

      " Tbe following is briefly the substance ef one of tbos * speeches : —* It wa 3 well known tp every one that thtre were many and enormous grievances existing in the connxrj . Both the farmers , tbe labourers , and tbe nuchaidcB were now reductU to poyerty by the great rants , and tithes , and the poor-rates , compared with the low prices . Tbere was no work for the poor , and if they applied for relief they were torn from their families , but it "was their own ; faults tbat these grievances were allowed to exist ; it arose from there being no union oz brotherhood among tfceai . ' Ths speaker then complained , cf the locusts who

      received tbe tithes and took the money of the parishes , and that with regard to the Poor Law , through their devilish ideas and practices , ' they teok the money cf th « fanners , ^ pretending to relieve the joor , while they only distributed 5 s . cut of every pound to the poor , bnt , kept the other 15 s . to pay their grasping officers sni otners . Another speaker then addressed them , and read ths following document in-i Welsh , and English . I procured a copy of bis Englishiaanslation , ant subjoin it verbalist , lx should be remembered thai although ungrammatical , and apparently unintelligible in some parts , it might have been perfectly cor-

Neither women nor any of the female sex shall be introduced into this selected assembiy , except Kebecca and Miaa Cromwell" . ; " This document was received with great applause , and it appeared to meet tbe universal feelings of tbe meeting . It Was then agreed tbat a committee should be formed , and that no farmer in the country should be allowed to fake tho farm which had been vacated by another -without tbe sanction of the committee , and that if any did so he must take tbe consequences . Pour persons also were appointed to make rules to carry out ihese objects , to be agreed to at a future meeting to be held at another places and the meeting Beparated at about a quarter-past eleven at night .

      * ' Tne work of gate destruction is still carried on with perfect impunity and the utmost daring . On Wednfsday night , or rather early yesterday morning , tfce Rjbeccaites assembled in large numbers at Bolgoed gate , near Pontardulaia , between Carmarthen and Swansea , and , arousing the toll-keeper , but without allowing him time te dress himself beyond putting on a great coat and slippers , on hia making his uppesrance they placed tools in his bands , held a gun to bis head , and forced him to destroy the gate : when the work of destruction was com ? lete they locked the toll-kaerer up in a stable rlosfi by , where be was kept a prisoner until the morning .

      the mob carried , the beating of drums and the blowing of horns , the surrounding country in the moan time being [ beautifully illuminated by the light of the young moon , were striking and lonely in the extreme . The Rebeccaites continued their procession and depredations to the ! terror of the inhabitants until near midnight j they then disappeared with the aame astonishing alacrity that they first of all displayed in appearing . Numbers of them , being colliets , precipitated themselves reckless 7 down the different shafts of the collieries , which are sd iplentta ] in tbe neighbourhood ; others took refuge in theicottages on the road side ; and , in fact , all of them were out of sight in a very short time after the order for separation and dispersion was given by their leader .

      On this occasion tbe men were not disguised in women ' s clothes , as has been usually the case in previous attacks by ' Rebecca and children , ' but were merely blackened in their faces , and some if them bad their coats turned inside cut . Threatening notices having been sent out to Middleton-bsll , tbe seat of Mr . Adams , and to CwiNtnawr , the residence of Mt . John Thomas , threatening tbe demolition of their houses , and the destruction of their property ; the families of those houses were in a state of the greatest alarm during tbe whole of the disturbance , and quite fearful that tbe threats of the Rebeccaites would be carried into execution ; but the fellows , after having broken dawn the gates before separating , loudly proclaimed their intention of attacking those houses on a futurs night .

      " The sceno of these depredations , it will now be seen , has been quite changed ; the disturbances having originated in tbe rural districts on tbe borders of Pembrokeshire , and Carmarthenshire , but now having entirely removed from that : quarter , and the state of affairs : being clearly more and more desperate in the sonthern part of Carmarthenshire , in the mining and manufacturing districts . ' "AtL ' . anclIy , in the copper works , where the men bave for some time past been working only two days in the ; week , the master manufacturers ( Sajiog it utterly impossible te get rid of the copper manufactured there ) ! have determined to reduce ttie wages of their workmen ; and , having givon notice of their intention so to do , tney are visited with threata , both loud and deep , of a general strike in case o ! their carrying their determination into effect .

      " The lecsee of the tolls of the LlandiMo Rhymnys Trust has this day visited Carmarthen , and declared to the Clerk to the Trust that it ia quite imponsibl « for him to pay ! the trust the sum at which he agreed to take tbe tolls , in consequence of the continued demolition of the gates en Ws line of road . There is hard !? a gate , toll-house , or bar , now standing on this trust ; and it is daily , or rather nightly , expected tbat the few remaining ones will be disposed of in the same manner aa their predecessors have been . " Tne outrages are row assuming a much more serious aspect than they have hitherto borne , in const quence of ttieir having shown themselves in the midst of a thickly-populated district in which , however , the people aro badly paid , and live upon the very worst of fare ; '

      "On the Llacdillo road also , which had bern traversjd by the troops , they" had gone through scarcely half an hoar bsfore thfl Troedrh ' . ew Goch-jrp . te was broken down , and the Llettymawr gate , in tl ? e parish of Liarinn . " On Thursday night , a detachment of the 4 th Dragoons , under tho orders of n magistrate , wero marched from Llandovery to the Lkvnganunach gate , on the borders of Brecoushire , which had been threatened to be destroyed . On arriving there , tbe men were placed in a barn , and double sentries stationed at each side of tbe gatb for the whole of the night . At aboui eleven o ' clock ; they saw a party of the Rebeccaites in the village ; close by ; bat their spies had informed them that the military were watching tho gate * and they marched off , thus leading the military a march of thirty miles , and obliging them to remain on guard all night for nothing .

      In relation to this wonderful combination and avrangemeut of power" and force against the " authorities , " the Timeslitself has the following . The picture given of the present alarming aspect of the country at the points enumerated is alarmingly true . The system seems to be breaking down of its own accord . Are our " Statesmen" prepared either to repair it , or to replace it ? They might have prevented all wo have now to deplore , had they possessed the knowledge and the will .

      " We perceive with much concern that tbe Rebecca disturbances show np sympton of decrease . Nor ; are the fresh circumstances which are vaguely hinted R . t ef a character to diminish our apprehensions as to the character which these remarkable outrages may assume . It is more and more I believed tbat men not of education only , but of ranfc , are concerned in them . This deriveB considerable probability fro'n the obvious skill and unity with which the operations of the riotera are planned and executed , and it adds not a little to the seriousness with which they deserve to be regarded . Without a head fro ' m the upper classes ao rising of

      the people has ever proved permanently formidable ; private jealousies—narrowness of view—scantiness of information—ignorance—credulity—want of order and concentration—these ] are the peculiarities whieh generally attend and mar a rabble movement It is the one leader , cojrni ' z-vnt of tbe power and weakness , of tbe upper classes whom he Is opposing , and whose very iiAine brings order , arrangement , and self-reliance into the ranks of the discontented , piving a definite direction to their encrgii s . understanding their real difficulties , and stifling their suicidal disputes for precedence , —it is the educated acknowledged commander who

      makes tbat dangerous which would otherwise bo only mischievous ; who can threaten the well-beinjj of tbe State , ins ' ead of merely disturbing a neighbourhood or embarrassing a Cabinet . " This , it appears J now to be considered , the Carmarthenshire peasantry have found . Men have been found among their ( superiors , with what views it is indeed difficult to divine , reckless enough to array themselves at the beW of this deluded people against tho legal force of EnRland . We C 3 n hardly suppose such men to act from ! a- mere blind love of mischiefwe can bardly suppose tbat they are continuing to expose the lives , liberties , and well-being cf their instruments , from an aimless caprice , without any dt finite or ( 88 they suppose ) attainable result before thsir evessomething beyond th ' e demolition c . ( a county griev . ance , or the exhibition of ufliTbrained enterprise . This

      is not the way in which an educated man carries' en war against turnpikejgatea , or union workhouses . The fact , if it be a fad , that men of station are at the bottom of these movements , is an unfortunate guarantee , for the serious mischief which is intended . And , in trutb , the ' circumstances ef the mining districts are such , as may well open a aouice of indefinite hope to an un principled agitator—ef indefinite apprehension to those who aro concerned for the peace of the country . The present is a moment at wbicb bold and unscrupnlous men , reckoning as we trust without their host , might wjell suppose tbat their time was coming ; that in Ireland , in Scotland—in onr own northern districts , in' the south of Wales—abroad , too , as well as at home- | -the clouds were gathering—the wreck was coming—and that be whose hand was foremost would gather most spoil .

      Monday , July 24 th . After arivarcing several billa certain stages , tbe early portion of the sitting was occupied with the remaining ciauses of the Arms Bill . The main discussion was on the question of tho period of the duration of the bill . The original proposition of the Government was for five years ; but after discussion , and two . divisietis , it was decided that it should be for two years , and to the end cf the then next session of Parliament , or , practic illy , fortbree years . The whole of tbe clauses , including tbose which had been postponed for further conalde-ation having be _ ngone through , the long protracted committee fin this bill was terminated .

      Sir Robert FERorsoN moved that the resolution ba re-committed , on the ground that tbe reduction should be greater than that proposed by the Government . The Chancellor of the EXCHEQUER was trofc convinced that illicit distillation would recaive greater discouragement , or that the interests either of the revenue or of Ireland , could be further promoted by any greater reduction than the one proposed .

      The Admiralty Lands Bill , which stood for committee , was-objected to by Mr . Barnard and Mr . Hume , defended by Mr . Sidney Herbert , the Secretary to the Admiralty , and , after some discussion , during which t ' ha main objection urged against the bill wa 3 , that it conferred an arbitrary and unlimited power on the Admiralty to appropriate land " for naval purposes , " Sir J . Graham interposed an explanation , to the effect that sufficient check and control would still remain to the House , inasmuch as all' sums to be expended on tho purchase of lands would have to be included in tfca estimates , -which would be liable to question and scrutiny . ' A division took place , when the bill was passed into committee by a majority of 59 to 28 . But in committee it encountered farther opposition , though ultimately it was carried throngh this stage . The other business was of a routine Dature .

      "TTpon a true bill being brought in against the partieB dafli-gedwj th having participated in tho attack upon the Carmarthen Woikheuse , a -writ of cerliorari was handed injon the part of the Crown , removing tbe trials to the Queen ' s Bench . There has been much speculation as to the intentions which the Gj vrrnment bave had In this removal . Some person , think that it will have « salutary effect by holding the fears of their being removed to London for trial over them aa a rod in terrortm- bnt itia generally thought that there is no intention of bringing the parties to trial io

      London , bnt to remove them at tke > next a « siz 33 for trial IbU > Brecon-hire , or some cennty in which these disturbances have not occurred . This fact , however , demonstrates , that the Government believe that no Jury in this country would convict ; and I think that they are corrcc * . in this view , for I bave not yet met with any person in the middle classes who does not sympathise -with Rebecca and her seta , stating Bfl they do , fearlessly and openly , tbat tbe grievances are of the most glaring character , and that sha seeks only justice .

      •• The B-beccaites have this view of tho writ cf certioraH : —they say that their counsel , 'Mr . Lloyd Hall , wcnld have been sure to have obtained a verdict foi them in the Tallog ease upon a point of law ; and that in the attack on the workhouse the Gov . j-ument knows fnll well that ttey have no evidence against them , bat that of one or t . wo persons of no character , and therefore tbat they wetasafe of an acquittal . Now altboapn this may be most untrue , yet . being li _ e opinion of the multitude , it ha _ the same effect as if it were true . In ihe meant . me , although tbeDmRO-ns are In the Btddie every night scouring the country here find there , they happen to be always in the Vfrorg place , nnd the work of outrage continues not only undiruisfceri , baVwitb increased and increasing audacity . Last night , for

      instance , th « Dragoons started with Captain Edwards , ot Rhydygorse , a magistrate , at their head , and proceeded to LlangewilJy ; but while they were thus engaged the Rebeccaite 8 entered the ancient town of Kid welly , eight miles from Carmarthen , where they had previously pulled down the sate , and at which a temporary one with iron posts had been erected ; they broke down the iron posts , destroyed the gate , and then proceeded to demolish the toll-house . Having finished the work of destruction , they piled up the timber which had boen used in the building of the toll-house , and haying placed the broken gate npon it , set fire to it , and burnt it to ashes . This was done in the precinct-, of the town cocttdning hundreds of inhabitants . The outrage -was

      perp . . rated by comparatively a very small number of persons , and yet ; not a single inhabitant interfered to preveDt tho work of destruction . V / hi ; e this wai going on at KidweJly , iPendergast-gate , situate at Haverfordwest , was destroyed in the moat daring manner while the military were in the town , but not a single person gave them tbe slightest hint of what was going on . I cannot better describe the situation of these two gates to yonr town readers than by saying that they are , or rather were , as much within the towns of Eld welly and Eaverfordwest { as tbe Hyde-park-corner-gate . The military in Haverfordwrest were within the town , and on the alert ; bnt they bad not the slightest knowledge of what was going on nntil this morning .

      • ' At Newcastle Emlyn , where a body of the military is also stationed , the town-gate has been pulled down three times , and the toll-house and gate were re-erected , ai > d finished ntaiilding on Friday . In the course of the night tho B . becraites visited the spot , and conducted their proceedings with the utmost secrecy , instead of with their usnal noise , and in the morning , when the inhabitants rose , not _ . single vestige of either tbe gate ot the newly-erected toll-bonse was to be seen , so completely ii&d they been ( 1 entroytd . This is the state of things here , and there will not be a single gate left standing in the com . try , if a different mode be not adopted to put an end to it Government are pouring in troops . A detachment of artillery are

      matching by the way of Brecon ; a detachment of artillery aro marchiDg to Carmarthen by the way of Swansea ; the whole of the 4 tb Regiment of Dregoons are to be rtationect in South Wales ; four comjmiDies of tfee 75 th Foot are to arrive at Carmarthen within the next two or t > : ree days ; the Yeomanry are kspt on permanent duty ; and every military appliance of the -Government is ^ s eTc \ s ed ; yet not a singl e outrage has been stayed , nor a Pingl « Rebeccaita captured . They laagh at the display of power by the Government , and from its bf-ini ? a question of tolls , it has now become one of general grievances . Notices are now daily issued as to rents , and are being served on the-iaudlorda , not only in this county , but in the adjoining ones . "

      -Tare out upon the roads until n < a _ ly sloven at night .

The troop had not however , traversed more than three miles on the road from Carmarthen , before it became evident that they were watched frcm the hill tops , and shortly after two signal guns were heard . A pl _ ce called the Old Railway is the centre of some coal works , and as we passed , it was understood that a large meeting was to beheld , and was probably then holding , in the coal
