      uttinti . let the date be d&aded en immediately . " A question arises whether under aU circumEUaces Birmingham would be the best place of meeting . If the Conference is to bexonfined to English delegates , then I ssjy—yea ;—bnt if the people of Scotland wauld Unite with , m to lorm a gtzxtA Organizition tor the entire Island , then in my humble opinion , 2 ? ewcasUeon-Tyne -would he the most fitting place . "And why should we not have the two nations united in all their moTemenis for a common redemption ? We want & union of the Scottish judgment with the less fhssreet and more excUesble English mind . I speak from expenEnce . Tnere is a degree of education { spoiled to some extent by the humbug philosophy of Chambers' Jpvrnalisui ) , a mental advancement , a

      hightoned morality , mul self-denying spirit "to be found among tiis people of Scotland to a much greater extent than among my own countrymen . At tbe same time the English character has in a » ae respects its points of aarantage ofer the SfrJtch . Why should we not reap the immftTWffi advantages to be derived from the junction of Sis two ? 1 am znie I may say ihat -a union in one Organization of the two countries wculd be hailed with delight by the English Chartists ; and 2 tbiak coulfi sot fail to be agreeable to to the Scottish democrats . 2 dr . O'Connor gave expression to a complaint in Ms excellent letter of last -week , that the Scotch had sot well supported their

      English brethren during the recent trials . There is a cause for this . All tbe persecutions since Chartism was first agitated , have been , with a few-trifling exceptions , in England and Wales ; and I must say . have been " brought about 6 y the not xery -wist counsels of English- leaders . Scotland has sot been tbe theatre of these movements ; yet Scotland has been expected to pay a share of the piper ' s expenses , and 3 Lr . O'Connor acknowledges did pay her share , £ nd handsomely , too , in the ease of 3 he Newport afiair . But the Scotch hare grown weary of the taxation resulting from these movements which they think onght never to have taken place . Let the Scottish Chartists % e represented with their English brethren in the thief council of the movement ; let the

      sense of both nations be taken on all movements ' projfccted for ibe sdvanetment of our cause ; and this dis-EaiiElacaon will be unknown . As before remarked , division among Ieafitrahas bfcEn thB . great bane of the moveiceire . 33 hb , to a certain txtent , is true of Scotland as wfcil as England . Would not a nnion of the two conntnta ^ o lar to exanguiBh 'Ul 8 accursed jsalsusiea and plottings of one ™* y \ against another , "xrhlcb has so infamously disgraced , 2 nd miserably retarded our eausfc ? Of course , 1 am not

      so Utopian as to suppose ttat any measure that the wisdem of man could devise WCTild remove the viperous spleen and gnawing tnry which is corroding the breasts of some men whoonea figure in the movement , but whom the people have v ^ ry proptriy repudiated , I maiher hope nor deare this . Tht " pstootB" are now powerless for mischief , and tfce lie * which in which ttey indulge are harmless becaaEe lohodybeliBTES them . It would therefore be arity to apoa 3 « ar present enployment .

      HOUSE OF COMMONS . —Momdat , Jclt 10 . Mr . Turner requested information as to whether or not the Government were prepared to advise Her Majesty to visit with her signal displpasure all persons engaged in dnelling , or if they woa : d bring in a measure next session on the subject ! Sir R . Peel was alive to the importance of the i-ubjf c :, but was not prepared to make any declaration wiiboaf dns and mature consideration . The adjourned debate on Ireland was resumed by Capt . Bkesal who lamented , as one main cause of her evils , the absence of landlords and tbe ejection

      of tesants . These snbjects , he said , had been character zed by Sir Robert Peel , as belonging to the head of morals rather than of legislation ; but law was only morality shaped by Parliament . We had a strong Government , 10 doubt , but it sate wi » h folded arms , impotent for good , and irresolute for e ^ fl . He would recommend the abolition of the c-ffice of Lord Lieutenant , an office useless to all but those numerous young soldiers - ( the aides-de-camp ) wr-o wish > d to avoid the dull romine regimental cuiy . He begged the Government 10 remember the ant-wer given by Charles II ., when someone asked hire Ibe best way to put down rebellion : " Why , " said the King , " to remove the cause of St . "

      Sir Howaju ) Douglas reprobated the interference of America in fomenting Irish movements . He defended the Union , and showed , in detail , the commercial and other advantages "which ; Ireland had derived from it . He lifted his voice against all kinds of political agitation ; and concluded by moving , rather unexpectedly , that the House would t-ntenain so Irish question until the agitation now in progress should have been discontinued . Ko seconder was found for this motion , which was received by the Opposition vriih sarcastic cheers . Mr . Vulikrs Stdabt was of opinion thst sneb an amendment , if entertained , would have dose very litiio to put down agitation . He atiritomd the over-population and general wretchedness of Ireland It ss to the misconduct of landlords than to the want

      oi any employment for the people , except upon the laud , and the consequent subdivision of occupations . The great grievance which was at the bottom of all was that badge of conquest , the Protestant Estab iishmeni . ; Captain Rors said , that but for the bigotry of the Scotch and English people , some great boon wonld long since have been given to the Irish Church ; but no Ministry who should propose that would si and four-and-twenty hours . The principle of the debt to the Roman Catholics was acknowledged in that instilment , the Emancipation ; and the remainder must be paid sooner or la ^ er . The war cry bad long been " No Popery , and Protestant ascendancy ;" yet the Papists were doubled , and the ascendancy was descending . Sir W . SoMET . TttLK charged the present disturbances of Ireland on the Ministerial party .

      The Attobhby-Gehejui . for Ireland made a long , dull , ineffective speech , which the House endured with a passive toleration . He defended tbe judicial appointments of the Government ; spoke of himself , his opinions on education , and his canvassing of Dublin University ; and , amongst oiber topics , came upon the subject of the Church , and told Lord John Russell that Mr . O'Connell hadtaid the Whigs conld sot expect to regain office , or his support , Without a readjustment of the ecclesiastical revenues of Ireland , as to the Repeal of the Union , if there were any looking to foreign assistance to effect it , he hoped and he trusted there were enough , both ProteEtant and Catholic to maintain it .

      Lord Howjck thought that the adoption of Mr . Smith O'Brien ' s motion would be the regnlar Parliamentary mode of intimating to the people of Ireland that something more effective was about to be done for them than had ever yet been attempted . The agitation excited in his mind great alarm and terror ; not that he doubted the power of Government to put down any insurrection , but because it afforded proof of the growing alieniation of the Irish people , and showed , that in our hour of danger and difficulty , Ireland would be pur weakness instead of cur streogth . The meetings for Repeal were dangerous , and the motives of the agitators censurable 4 but he shrunk from the j prospect of an attempt to put the ^ e meetinga down , without

      doing something to allay tbe discontents ' of the people . No direct interference of Government or legislation could immediately remove the wretchedness of Ireland ; all they could do was to remove the obstacles which interfered wilh the development of industry , But in this respect they could do much : the country had stores of mineral wealth , magnificent rivers , and fertile soil ; and the people , as evinced by their conduct , either in America or England ; showed that they were an industrious , cheerful , and active race . English capital went to Chili or Pern , and could Dot be wanting for Ireland ; all that "was required was security ; and wretchedness was the moving cause of those agrarian outrages by which capital was

      deprived of the assurance of security . ; The people , looking to the land as their only resource , clung to it with the tenacity of despair ; the legal power of the landlord had frequently been harshly and cruelly used ; and though what was asked under the name of * fixity of tenure" appeared to be inconsistent with the rights of property , something like what Mr . More O'Ferrall had recommend , securiug the tenant in outlay for improvements , ought to be considered ; the responibility of it lay on the Governmeet , in whose hands ii onght fitly and only to be pliCt ^ i . By removing the discontents of tho people , tranquillity would he restored , and capital would flow in , paving the way for more extended application of Jabour in public works .

      yir . Gallt Knight was willing tc give the Catholics all he could get for them ; bat be it bigotry , or what yon please , the people of England aad Scotland had made up their minds , and any attempt to subvert the Established Church in Ireland would aot only cost any Minister his place , but fVen the Sovereign the Crown . He hoped Sir R , Peel would keep the middle course in his policy , avoiding extremes . Sir Besjamis Hall considered that the Government did not dare lo pnt doirn tho agitation in Ireland lor two reasons—fear of the Oranpemen , and fear of Mi . O'ConnelL

      Lord Joceltn condemned the agitation , felt that something must be done to abate tbe alarm which it created and to preserve the peace , and declar'd that he had too good an opinion of his Roman Catholic eonntrymen to think thai they would he parties to a » y measure for the spoliation of the church . The objects of the Repeal Association were revolutionary , and sufficiently warranted the-resistance of the motion . The debate was then acjouraed . Titesdat , Jui / r 11 . Tie adjourned debate on Ireland was resumed by «« * - ?« 1 * " * O'Connsll , who m-ged the necessity of the motion , and complained ! of the absti-Sl 1 ^ 1135 * 6125 iD refrau « ng &om indicating their SSlt ^ ' lreland - He reviewed the ffirftW ^ m pSst tin »* » aad tbe present posi-« u ^? rS ^ l pan ? ^ respect to ^ at country , reminded them of tho obstructive , spirit

      which the ^ had evinced on municipal corporation reform , and ; the extension of tho franchise ; and gave reminiscences of the bigotry of the party , when thty went the length of threatening the Sovereign with thefato of James II ., because Mr . Sheil had been made a privy counsellor . Concessions must be made ; let them bo made in that generous spirit which would unite the two-countries , not by the parchment bonds of the union , but win the more lasting ties of equality and hrotherlylove . Mr . SirsTHEsaid the difficulty lay not so much in the " Popery ' , as in the No Popery" of Englandthat hitter spirit which still lingered in the classic preoincts ofi Exeter-hall . This session there had been thirty-nine petitions against Maynooth : the number

      seemed sacred in the annals of ecclesiastical bigotry . If , instead of treating Ireland with the grudging parsimony of a etepmotbtr , they had governed her with justice , she would- at this moment have been a BUrSfiry of loyalty . After expressing something like pity for theiate of Lord Eliot , in being doomed to be the organ of the Irish Government , the honourable member , who spoke throughout with apparent warmth and feeling , sat down amidst cheering as loud and long as that which greeted the no less remarkable speech of Captain Rous , on the preceding evening , from the same benches—tbe-Ministerial . Mr . Hawes denied that these Irish debates had retarded other business—the Government were

      themselves responsible for the delay of the Ecclesiastical Courts or the County Courts Bills . The condition of England , no less than of Ireland , called on the Government for decision , instead of drifting on without chart or compass . Mr . CoLquaoDN attributed the present condition of Ireland vo the rapid increase of its population , which had doubled within the last forty years , and outrun all means of suitable employment . The Highlands of Scotland , not distracted by religious or party strife , presented a somewhat similar spectaole in its social condition . He was prepared to give the Government new and additional powers , if the exiBting law was not sufficient to maintain tranquillity , tind suppress the present movement .

      Mr . Shabmaw Ciiawfobd , amongst other enumerated causes of irritation , particularly dwelt on the consolidation of farms , which could only be accomplished through the ejectment , Tain , and starvation of the : small occupiers , United legislation was the best for the empire , if based on equal rights and impartial justice ; but though desirous of maintaining the Union , he contended that it possessed no moral power , and under the present system was worse than separation . Mr . Bateson said , the real evil was absenteeism i

      if the landlords were to reside , and set a good example , there : was no country in the world where the lower classes were more easily touched by kindness , more easily managed , or who looked up with more respect to the higher classes , in some places almost with feudal feeling . The opposition knew all this very well . He would , therefore , tax the absentees ^ and apply the proceeds to tho improvement of tho country . It might send them to theirestates , where they ought to be in the present alarming state of Ireland .

      Mr . Ross , -as an Irish landlord , eonourred in the sentiment that the Irish people were easily managed by kindness and conciliation—but the experiment had never yet been tried . Mr . Monckton Milnss thought that the present debate afforded ample proof that lTeknd was not neglected in the Imperial Legislature . The question with which they had to deal was as embarrassing to English statesmen , as that of slavery to American statesmen , —( This admission was received with much cheering from the opposition benches ) .

      Mr . Roebuck did not think that the debate reflected much credit on those in whoBe bands the government of this great country is placed . Tho only leading ; Minister who had spoken was Sir James Graham ; and the conclusion of his speech seemed to indicate that the Government could neither retreat nor adianco without danger . The calm and temperate tone in which the Irish members had adduced their grievances contrasted strongly with the petulant and party replies of ministerial members , who had given to the Government tlirir imbecile support . It was admitted by the Home Secretary that the veTy existence of the empire was at stake ; yet he , whose power of language , of argument , and of sarcasm were unquestioned , grew frightened by the subject he was handling , and lost power , not only over tha House , but himself . The next member of the Government who

      spoke , was the Attorney-General for Ireland , and he , to illustrate how that country vraa Koyerned , at a tims when it is on the verge of a civil war , harangued the House about his grandfather , and how he was not elected for tho University of Dublin . Sir Robert Peel was like an inactive general in his camp , receiving intelligence of one buccefc . -Sve defection after another . Mr . Smythe , who had made his speech that evening , had scoken with great appartnt feeling , as if he were reudy for any sacrifice of friendship ; he hoped his feeling speech would bo followed by the right vote . Ireland must he governed either with or without the Orangemen—either as a conquered country , by the aid of the garrison wo had placed there , or on broad and liberal principles , seeking the happiness of the millions The Protestant party were eight hundred thousand to eight millions ; and in no well-governed couD'ry could eight hundred thousand possess tbe

      wealth and the'land in a community of eight millions . Bat the opposition party had biiherto treated the question in a pany way—he hoped foi larger and more generpns views from Sir Robert Peel , whose tault was , not ; that he had dono worse than his predecessors , but that he had not shown himself equal to the new exigencies of the case . No people had combined against a government without being impelled by pby -ical suffering ; in addition to wretchedness , the Irish had degradation and wrong . Mr . O'Connell , in ' ; the course which he had pursued , had no doubt done much mitchief , but he had also achieved much good , and had obtained for the people what they would otherwise not hare gained . Like all enthusiastic men who governed enthusiastic people , he was alternately dupe and impostor—the glowing and graphic descriptions of the wonderful benefits to result from the Repeal of tbe Union he could not himself believe . But he had done this—he had

      made them decent in their language respecting Ireland . The Church -was the badge of conquest ; if not reformed by some Government , the people wonld destroy it . Mr . O'Connell had but to add the non-payment of rent to that of Tithe—( hear ! hear !) " Ay , ay , you may cry hear , hear—for don't think we are whispering secrets to one another I" Were they to be told that the Protestant feeling of this country would prevent a minister from undertaking this great act of justice—from rising to this great

      emergency I . Was dismissal from office so great an evil , that they would rather risk civil war iban encounter it ? The Tithe was national property ; it was created by the Catholics for Catholic purposes ; it was diverted by the will of the nation to other object ? , and by the will of the nation may be diverted again . It was as sacred then as now—neither more nor less . He did not attack the faith , but the money , of the Established Church . Let them deal with all the grievances of Ireland , and sive it from becoming an eating ulcer into the heart of England .

      Sir R . Peei . then rose . He was anxious , in the first place , to " obliterate all personal or party recollections . He would vindicate his own course , but he would not recriminate . The question was of too deep an interest for that . The real object of this motion was not an inquiry into possible remedies , bni an expression of opinion adverse to tbe Government . If the Government did appear to the House unfii . from party connexions , or from other reasons , to govern Ireland , this vote ought to be against him ; for certainly the tenure of office by any party was a consideration of . no value in comparison to the welfare with a kingdom . He then addressed himself to the speech of the mover , and defended the Government from bis charge of parsimonious

      treatment to Ireland , referring to documentary evidence , and observing that Ireland pays no assessed taxes , no income tax , no soap duty , no duty on spirits . He adverted , with some indignation , to _ the charge that official appointments , particularly judicial and ecclesiastical ones , had been made unfairly , and readthcletter containinjjhis instructions to the Lord-Lieutenant on the subject of patronage . He justified the proceeding on the mail-coach oontract , observing that it was a disparagement to Ireland to treat that tr . tio as a grievance . Perhaps tbe most ungenerous charge of all was on the subject of reduc&tion . It would have been highly gratifying to tbo supporters of Government , and consequently conducive to its interest , if

      on this point a different course had been resolved on by the Cabinet . Tne general intention of the Government had been hone fine to fulfil the principle of the Relief Bill , which establithed equality between Protestant and Catholic . He showed the absurdity of the allegation that Irishmen had not had their fair share of Irish patronage , and cited several instances where Irishmen had been appointed to employments in England . The attention of the house had been called to three sorts of Irish grievances , the social , the political , and the re . igiou 3 . The social or agrarian , were not now grievances ; nor was it possible for the Government to devise any immediate remedy for them ; hut if a committee had been proposed for inquiry into the law of landlord and tenant he would gladly have

      agreed to that . JVext , as to political grievances . He fully admitted , and had admitted long ago , that religion onght not to operate as a disqualification for office . He then proceeded to the question of the church . On this head , he would not consent to give the pledge required ef him by the Opposition ; be would much xatber choose the other alternative suggested , —of leaving office , and taking the chance of what some other Minister might do . The proposition was , that as the Protestants are not a sixth of the population , they ought to possess but a sixth of the Church endowments . Must they also retain but a sixth of the churches ! Must the Roman Caihohc Bishops sit equally with the Protestants in the House of Lords ! This was a somewhat larger change than had yet been contemplated . Again , whaivrfts to be the state of the Roman Catholic

How strong were the assurances given at the time of the relief bill to the reluctant' people of England , ) that it would not impair but increase the security of the Protestant Church The ' subjeot of a provision for the priests from any other source , was one upon which he was not disposed to make asy declaration of opiBion thus incidentally in the course ; of a general debate . He now ;; approached the question of Repeal , as to which

      he had said that he was prepared to use all the powers of Government for the maintenance of the Union , and in that sentiment he believed there was a very general concurrence on the other side of the House . He was sorry to have heard it argued that the Repeal of the Union stood upon the same footing with fhe repeal of any other act . On no other act [ would the Crown have made the declarations whioh it had made on this , in the times both of the late and of the present Ministry . He pointed out the practical absurdities and inconsistencies which mu-t follow a severance of Ireland from England , with separate Parliaments , revenues , armies , and navies . Such a severance could not last a single year ; without a conflict . To prevent such an evil

      tho Government bad , without asking for any new measure , resolved to rest upon the existing powers of the law and constitution . He was asked what course he was prepared to take ; he was prepared to goyerrc with justice—to maintain civil equality ^ -to consider the franchise , and the law of the landlord and tenant , strictly preserving the principle of the right of property ; and , on th <) subject of tbe church , to maintain it inviolate . It was made a reproach to him ( that he hod stood with folded arms and had asked for no new laws , which he believed would not hare : strengthened the Executive Government . He relied on that abstinence for attaching to the Government all who foresaw the consequences of

      assembling a new Parliament for Ireland alone ; and then , if , at length , necessity should arise , the claim for new powers would be the stronger for the past forbearance . In his reliance on the loyalty of the Irish people , he made no distinction between Protestant and Catholic . ' The Catholios could not ' want motives for rallying round the union ; the events and enactments of the last fourteen or fifteen y ears had made a great social and political change in their favour , and the favourable feeling to them still i subsisted in the Imperial Parliament . Ho appealed to these considerations , to the long con nexion of the two countries , to their common interests , and to their common dangers .

      Lord John Russell had not heard with satisfaction the speech of Sir U . Peel . It was more like the speech of a member finding fault with the proposals of a government , than like the speech of one who was the head of a government himself . After enlarging upon the magnitude of the present danger , he acknowledged that he approved of the forbearance to ask for any new law of coercion . But the course on Which the government seemed to rely was that of doing nothing at all—of waiting to hear the propasals of other members , aad then commenting on the insufficiency of one suggestion and the doubtfulness of another . To him this appeared to indicate a want of capacity and of energy in the Ministers . If they had been afraid to propose measure ? , it was not because there had been any violence on tbe part of the Irish members to deter them . He denied that

      equality of civil rights existed between England and Irelahd ; in proof of which denial he referred to the numbers of the Parliamentary constituencies , and ^ o the difference between tbe English and the Irish Municipal Act . He then came to the question ( If the Church . On this subject be desired to explain the opinions expressed by him on a former evening , by which he bad meant to intimate , that though favourable to the priuoiple of establishment , he though it a principle muoh misapplied to a church like that of Ireland , which had no connection with , nor influence over tho bulk of the people : and

      it was requisite , in order to make Buch a principle available to ita real purpose , that it should be extended in a manner which might put the religion of the majority on the same footing with the religion established in favour of the minority . It was half-past two o ' clock when Lord John Russell concluded , and Mr . Sergeant Murphy moved the adjournment of the debate . A somewhat lively discussioa ensued , Mr . Wallace stating that he saw sixteen members rise at once to catch the Speaker ' s eye , and Sir H . W . Barron adding that he bad risen inine times ineffectually . After a triumphant but useless division , the adjournment was agreed to .

      Wednesday , July 12 . The protracted debate upon the state of Ireland has been at length brought to a conclusion . The House divided , when tho numbers were : —

      For the motion ; 164 Against it 243 Majority ......... 79 Thursday , July 13 . On the question of the Speaker ' s leaving the chair for the purpose of the committee on the Irish Arms ; Bill , Lord Clements made another very long speech against the measure . Mr . Wallace taid , that having listened to the debate on Irish grievances , he was satifafied that this measure was not wanted ; and would move the poat ponement of it to to that day six months . Meanwhile' Repeal was gaining ground in the west of Scotland , where there were many Irish . Mri S , Crawford seconded the amendment . He was no Repealer ; but from the moment this act should receive the Royal ajscnt , he was prepared to say , you must either Repeal the Union , or repeal this act .

      Mr . Oswald denied that Repeal waa gaining ground in Scotland . Mri V . Stuart justified himself against the attacks levelled at him by Mr . O'Connell for tho course which he had taken on the Irish Arms Bill , and which he assured the House had been a strictly

      one . The House then divided—Fpr Roinft into committee 104 Against it ~ 7 Majority 77 Some short questions and answers followed ; and then the House went into Committee , where the Opposition poceeded , to canvass the details of the bill . Two clauses out of the sixty roraaining for discussion were , after eight hours' debate , agroed to ; and the Committee having upon a division affirmed the fourteenth clause , the Houae resumed .

To maintain their character for moral excellence and Christian feeling as a nation , Englishmen were ealled upon to vindicate it by wiping out the stain of oppression which had been so long exercised towards Ireland . He could assure gentleman that the state of Ireland was exciting the attention in France almost to an equal extent as in England itself . In Belgium it was tbe all-absorbing topic '; and the result would be , that the peace or tbe disquiet in Ireland would , in all probability , affect the ) destinies of Europe . What was now wanted wa 9 , that the English people themselves should step in between the oppressors and the oppressed ; that they should demand from tbe Government , -without

      reference to paTty , equal nghta in franchise and religion ; and decide whether Ireland should be a province of England , colonial Ireland , or whether it should be England itself in every particular —( bear , hear . ) Now w&B the time foi Englishmen to speak out ; but unless it was the wealth and the intelligence , at well as the numbers , it would be better not tg hake the attempt . Be cordially approved of the proposed demonstration ; for with aU the power of the present Ministry , there had never been one so completely awed

      by public opinion , and , if united and determined , be believed tbe people of England could secure equal rights and equal lioertiea for Ireland —( cheers . ) General Evans , [ and a great number of gentlemen connected with the Borough , severally addressed the meeting , the general tenor of their observations being , the impolicy of petitioning Parliament , as at present constituted for any redress ef the grievances of Ireland ; and suggesting tbe propriety of calling upon the Queen , by a constitutional ] appeal to her Majesty , to dismiss the present Parliament and Ministry from power .

      Sir B . Hall concurred in thinking that it would be a most proper and digoified course to petition tbe Queen to direct bet Ministers to adopt some measure of justice towards Ireland , and if they did not , to dismiss not only them but even jthe Parliament The Hon . Baronet here read a memorial expressive of alarm at the state of Ireland and of indignation at the policy of the present Ministry towards that country , and appealing to her Majesty in thejevent of their refusal to do justice to the people of that country , at once to dismiss them from her councils . ] This was adopted unanimous / y , as was also a resolution determining to \ hold a great public meeting of the Borough , over which Sir B . Hall was elected to preside on Monday next .

      Carmarthen , Monday , July 10 . Op FrM-iy afternoon last a mob of lawless desredators assembled together , mustering about one hundred strong , in tho neighbourhood of Nantgarredi « r about five miles from this town . They were on this occasion all disguised , had their faces black ened and wore something designed to imitate turbans " They were all dressed in smock frocks and carried with them various implements of destruction . Their first outrage commenced at Llandua-rwnwns-eate which is attached to a bridge called Newbridge ovli the river Towy , This bridge was erected by tn « father of Mr . John Jones , M . P ., of Ystrad , for eha convenience of the neighbourhood , and his private property . At the time of their approach to the bridW

      two gentlemen from Carmattban were flshinz m the Towy on tbe meadow immediately COntlgious to the bridge , And they were > t once directed to leava the place at ibe pwil of their Jives . The appearance of the mob was alarming , and their threats beiae expressed in language both determined and violent the two anglers , conceiving , no doubt , that ^^ discretion was the better part of valour , immediately coiled nn their lines and departed under more than ordinary apprehension as to the result of the day ' s proceedings . At the same time a respectable young man a farmer , of the name of NiohoIIs , happening to bs ' on tbe spot , was placed under examination and charged with having on some former occasion volunteered to become a special constable , with a view to aid in

      quelling the riots and depradations committed by this lawless tribe . He , however , did not escape si well as the gentlemen of the rod and fly , bnt had to endure the operation of a very severe horse . whipping , after which he was allowed to depart . A . man of the name of Lloyd , from Carmarthen , attempted to escape , but they pursued him and he shared the same fate . The course being clear , Mr . Lewis , the lessee of tbe tolls , was the next object of attack . On Saturday week , Mr . Lewis had summoned a number of persons for refusing to pay toll in passing the gate in question , and this strongly excited their wrath . Lewis was brought out from thelollhouse , and unfortunately having his horse * whip in bis hand , he waa at once overpowered , and

      most severely and violently beaten . Rebecca was not however content with this , but on his bended kneea she compelled him three successive times to swear by all that was sacred that he would never again have connexion with the tolls or the turnpikegates requi ring the payment of toll . Then came the work of destruction ; pickaxes , hatchets , crowbars and saws were set in operation , and the gate entirely demolished . It is currently reported that Mr . Lewis resigned his lesseeship into the hand 3 of the trustees on Saturday last . An express was with difficulty sent down , to Carmarthen j at about six o ' clock the Dragoons were mounted and went off at a very rapid pace through Abergwilly to the scene of Rebecca ' s movements . Passing under MerlinV hill , which commands an extensive view of the vale of Towy , a shot was firod , which , it is supposed , was the signal of the approach of the soldiers and for the dispersion of the mob , for on the arrival of

      the military , and although an active pursuit was made by them to trace their retreat , nothing waa discovered beyond the destruction that had taken place . After the lapse of some hours , the Dragoons made their way back to Carmarthen ; but it is supposed there must have been spies placed in all directions , and this conjecture is by no mean 3 improbable , because , nothing daunted , they proceeded again to pursue their course of lawlessness , and destroyed the Mansel ' s Arms bar and tollhouse , the latter being a very strong building , and Llaafih angel gate , and part of the tollhouse , which is situate on the mail road to Llandilo , immediately under Golden-grove , the seat of Earl Cavrdor . The statements of several eye-witnessea are really of a very alarming nature , and the violent conduct , as well as the threatening language of tho Rebeocaues , Beemed to indicate their intention of carrying out their threats , though it be at the sacrifice of life .

      Tuesday , Two o'Clock , p m . I have just heard that Rebecca and familymustered about 200 in the neighbourhood of Llanybyther and New Inn last night , and destroyed Penrallt gate , not far from the latter place , and also another bar . This renowned lady was , on this occasion , dressed gaily in female attire and sported a parasol . When the work of demolition was complete , the party dispersed over the hills and were soon lost sight of . More military have been sent for , and a troop of the 4 t , h Dragoons left Bristol on Tuesday for South Wales .

      ( From the Swansea Journal . ) About a quarter to twelve on Thursday night laat , a party consisting of about 200 men on foot s headed by Rebecca , arrayed all in white , and who rode a white horse , were seen approaching Bolgoed tollbar from tbe direction of Pontarduiais . The object of their visit was easily surmised , and the inhabitants of the few houses in the neighbourhood , apparently apprehensive of danger , retired within doors . Rebecca * advanced to the tollhouse and demanded admittance , which having been given , she directed a few of her troop to carry out the toll-collector ' s goods and chattels to the side of the road , and to protect them from all injury till they bad completed the object of their mission . She then gave the word of

      command for the total demolition of the bouse and bar , and actually , wo are assured , within five minutes , the bar was out to pieces , the bouse in rains , and the whole party in full retreat . During the time they were engaged at work , a portion of their gang kept firing guns and huzzaing . They took the Carmarthenshire road , and separated in various ways . The farmers of the surrounding district strongly condemn this outbreak , and state their willingness to have abided by the decision of the turnpike trustees , whom they , memorialised the preceding day . This bar is situated near a place called Goppa Fach , on the mail road , within a mile ef Pontarduiais , and eight miles of Swansea .

      " REBEGCA" IN WALES . Carmarthen , July 8 . Since my last communication I am happy to say that there has not 'been any interruption of the pub-, lie peace , but at the same time the . destruction of obnoxious gates by " Rebecca" and her daughters is carried on witii unremitted industry . It has , however , now extended itself to the borders of Glamorganshire . On Thursday night they assembled in large numbers ] at the little village of Pont-aa-Dulais on the Swansea-road , and having marched to Belcoid , they destroyed the tollbar , and then levelled the tollhouse with the ground . After which they proceeded to the Cross Hands , on the same road ,

      whore they destroyed the two toll bars . There are houses within a very short distance of each of these gates , so that the whole proceedings must hape been witnessed by some of the inhabitants ; yet such is the sympathy felt by them that I venture to state my belief that no reward would induce them to identify a single person engaged in their destruction . In a former communication I stated that , although special constables were sworn in , a respectable magistrate had stated that they were useless , as he did not think a constable could be found who either could or would execute a warrant . This appears to bo the case not only with the special constables , but with the police also . On Thursday a meeting of the watch

      committee was held at the Town-hall , Carmarthen , for the purpose of inquiring into the conduct of the police , at which it was stated , that when the police were required to go to Tallog to execute certain warrants , some ofjthem had been been taken suddenly ill , and others had refused to go altogether ; and that warrants [ against certain persons had been in the hands of the ] Superintendent for the last fortnight , who had not , however , attempted to execute them , although the , parties were to be found every day . The mayor also stated that it was a somewhat singular fact that during the whole excitement consequent upon the ] late disturbance , he had not

      obtained one particle of information from the police ; all his information had been obtained b y his own individual exertions , and that too at a time when information might ] have enabled the magistrates to prepare for the coming events . The Superintendent , in justification , said that be could not execute the warrants , as no one would give the slight estiiuformation as to where jany suspected party was to be found . One of thejmagistrates having declared that it was useless in them to grant warrants if the police refused to execute them , it was determined that tho Superintendent should be dismissed , and tho Secretary of State applied to j to recommend an efficient officer in his place . i

      In Glamorganshire and Monmouthshire the iron trade still continues in a state ofliopele .-s depression . The Dowlais Company are about to discharge between two and three hundred hand ? , and other companies must also , we believe , reduce their make , as there is an almost entire absenco of demand tor iron of any description , ana no companies can stand the ruinous loss at which the make * of iron is now carried on . —Times Correspondent . Cardiff , July 11 . Being now upon the spot , I find that the whole of Glamorganshire is equally with Carmarthenshire in a feverish and excited state , and that there is a general and growing feeling of dissatisfaction and

      discontent . The people in the hill dUtrict 3 here , it should , however , be remembered , are of totally different habits and character from those of Cardigan , Carmarthen , and Pembrokeshire . There they are a simple agricultural people , while here the great majority of the population are violent Chartist politicians . In the Menhyr district I learn from undoubted authority that secret political meetings are held weekly , and oftener , and that there are secret arms' distribution clubs , to which the men subscribe , ! and by which they are supplied with a musket , baypnet , cross-belts , &c ., for £ 1 16 s . This state of thingsihaa been going on for some considerable time , and { I am informed by a public officer

      that he has little doubt that in the event of an outbreak one district alone could furnish 5 , 000 stand of arms , consisting of muskets , bayonets , rineB , &c . I am also informed . that the Government have been made acquainted with this secret distribution of arms , although they have not , as far as I can learn , taken any steps to ^ reveut it . All the iron-works are now under reductions , and men are continually being discharged , which , of course , adds to the misery and discontent ; and should any one of the large works stop , there would be considerable danger of Ian out-break . " Rebecca" also , it is said , is extending her sphere of operations to this

      county . Threatening notices have been served upon some of the workhouses , and information was received that it was intended on Sunday night to destroy the Morris-Town gate , bituate between Swansea , and Neath , in consequence of which , Captain Napier and a large body of police kept watch at the gate , and patrolled the neighbourhood during the night . Caplain Napier tells me , that they heard tbe bugles of " Rebecca" in tho hills more than once during tbe night , and that several suspicious personages ( most likely scouts ) passed the gate during the night : finding u guarded , the attack was not made upon it . — Times correspondent .

      ¦ So ! the C « artists are in for it now , are they \ "Holding Secret J Meetings" ;¦ "forming Arms ' Clubs" ; " distributing Arms" ; " supplied with a Musket , Bayonet , Cross-belts , &c , for £ 1 16 s eaoh " . ITow very minute , and how very circumstantial ! You would almost swear it was truth ! There is but one little fault about it : it is sheer invention , either on the part of the Times Correspondent , in accordance with a nudge from Prin ting-House Square ; or he has been HOAxtD by some wicked wag , who has been practising upon his j organ of wonderment . and simples ! Tbe Chartists of Merthyr district know their duty much better than to join "Recccca' * in

      a seaseless crusade against toll-bars ! and they know , too , that ( "secret meetings , " and " arms clubs , " and " lines and muBkets" are not required for their peaceful agitation . It happens that we are in a position to be slble to give the most unqualified contradiction to this infamous attempt to raise up all tho unworthy and unlovely prejudices of the upper and middle men against the Chartists , by reprasentingthatbodjasoonneoted with the" Hebscca " movement . This very week brought us a le ter from the accredited agentjof the MertbyrTidv . il Chariist ? , their Secretary ; strongly urging upon Mr . O'Connor lo cross the Channel , and pay a visit to Merthyr , when on his contemplated western tour : averring that if he does so . he will find , whatever may be

      the case elsewhere , that the Chartists of Merthyr huld no sympathy with those who "do battle " upon turnpike gates ! and averring also , that bitter and costly experience has taught them that no advantage ] to the people can ever be secured by riots or tumult ! This is from the mouthpieceof the MerthyrJchartists themselves ! the very mea who are now represented as " holding weekly secret meetings "; and subscribing to Arm * ' Diatribution Club 3 " ! We advise the Ctiartists of Merthyr not to let this matter sleep . ' Meet and refute the accusation ' . Go before the magistrates , and demand a full inquiry . Crush this rascally attempt to excite prejudice at your expence ; put the foot firmly on it at the outset ; or you will have to pay dearly for 5 oar forbearance !! '

      THE STATE OF IRELAND-METROPOLITAN SYMPATHY . On Monday , a meeting of influential electors of the borough of Marylebone , convened by Its Parliamentary representatives , took place at the mansion of SirB . Hall , in PoAraan-squaTe , tor the purpose of considering the propriety of making a public demonstration , with reference to the present state and future prospects of Ireland . Sir jB . Hall was called on to preside , and was surrounded by a large number of Irish Members of Parliament .

      The ; Chairman having read a number of letters from Jdembers of Parliament apologising lor their inability to attend , but expressing their hearty concurrence in the objects of the meeting , said—a strong feeling was existing in Ireland that the English people had no sympathy with the sufferings of the Irish people ^ and it was tbe opinion of most of tbe Irish Members of Parliament that if a demonstration in this metropolis were made in favour of justice to Ireland that feeling would be allayed , and a tone and TEMPER WOULD BE GIVEN TO ALL DEMONSTaATIONS

      WHICH MIGHT FOLLOW THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY . He and his colleague ( Sir C . Napier ) bad thought it better that a nieeilcg of the present kind should take place , and to invite to it parties of all shades of politics , in order that they might understand each other ' s opinions upon so important a question . If there was not complete uniononcuch a question , and if OTHER MATTERS WERE INTRODUCED , THE OBJECT sought would be FRUSTRATED ; therefore , it was most desirous that they should hear what those opinions were , in order to see if they could co-operate in doing justice to Iceland , and in preventing the results -which its present state was likely to lead to .

      Mr .-S . Crawford said much good would result from a : metropolitan demonstration in favour of Inland . It would in the first place show to Government tb : it they could not rule the people of Ireland but upon the same basis , giving them tqiual rights and privileges with itbose of England ; and secondly , it woul . i afford a practical proof to tha Irish people that theio was no hostility txisting towards them on the part of the Bnglisb—( che < rs ) . Lord Clements asked why should not one nc ' . io .: enjoy tequal privii ^ ges with the otbe *?— ( hear , htur ) . it

      They could not shut their eyes to tbe fact that was the bad government of Ireland which had raised t ! ie question of Repeal , and for . all the grievances which Ireland laboured under the remedy proposed by Ministers was no other than an Irish Arms B * ll—( cries of " Sbame" ) . Could the Irish nation look upon that measure in any other light than that of a disgrace ?—( No , no ) . Lot Ireland be governed by good , by equal laws , and no one could doubt but she would add conaiderably to England ' s greatness , but it was utterly hopeless that either peace or prosperity would prevail under any other circumstances .

      Mr . yVjsB then came forward . —He said the Irish members of Parliament , and , indeed , the Irish people , would hail with joy the sound of co-operation in their cause emanating from tbe metropolis of Euglami , for it would at once dispel tho erroneous impression in Ireland , thai there was a want of-sympathy on vhe part of the English people— .
