fee-room of the same dimensions, and 20 feet in 
height, with magistrates’ and other rooms adjoin- 
ing, the whole of which are so constructed as to 
be used for assemblies, concerts, or other public 
meetings. The building, when completed, will be 
an elegant specimen of the Grecian Ionic order.

At a meeting held at Queenborough, of the 
fishermen of that place, to take into consid¢ration 
their miserable situation, thanks were voted to 
the subscribers to their relief, and to Mr. Capel 
(one of their representatives in Parliament), who 
detailed to the meeting the efforts he had made to 
get a bill passed for their relief, but which, on the 
ground of informality, had at present failed—still 
he had every assurance, and from many circum- 
stances, he firmly believed that justice was at 
hand. “We ask,” said Skey, the fisherman, and 
defendant in the prosecution by the Mayor, “ for 
the possession of what we received from our 
fathers, and what 2 jury declared to be our just 
inheritance.”’ He concluded by a resolution, una- 
nimously agreea to, ‘‘ That in the midst of their 
privations, they looked forward with hope and 
confidence, that the nation would not, in their 
ease, be presented with an instance of the pros- 
perity of a town being destroyed, its source of 
industry annihilated, and its loyal inhabitants 
dispersed, for the sake of usurped authority and 
unconstitutional interest!”

The pilchard fishery has beenmore successful 
this season than it has been known to be for many 
years. At St.Ives, about 3,000 hogsheads have been 
secured by the seans; and at Fowey, upwards of 
1,000 hogsheads of fish have been taken. A plan 
for curing them has lately been put in practice 
by Sir Isaac Coffin, and they turn out to be supe- 
rior in flavour to the best red herrings. 
Subscriptions have been entered into for re- 
building the Crown and Nisi Prius Courts at the

A great number of Portuguese refugees haye 
within the last ten days arrived at Falmouth. 
About 100 of these unfortunate foreigners landed 
from a Spanish brig, in which they embarked from 
Ferrol; a Swedish brig landed about 420 from 
the same place; a Spanish ship, a schooner, and a 
lugger, arrived with 616 refugees; and about 60 
passengers came by the Marlborough, and 24 by 
the Stanmer. There are also at that place be- 
tween 300 and 400 Germans, who arrived in the 
early part of the year in a vessel, in which they 
embarked for Brazil, but having put into. Fal- 
mouth in distress, they refused to proceed, and 
have since remained there supported by the in- 
habitants !—Western Flying Post, Sept.15.

WALES. 
We have heard much of the excellence of Scotch 
morals, generally ascribed to the influence of su- 
perior education ; but we believe the Principality 
of Wales, if we are to take the amount of criminal 
offences as a fair criterion of the moral state of a 
country, furnishes fewer cases of judicial pro- 
ceedings than the kingdom of Scotland, the re- 
spective number of their population being taken 
in the account. If in Wales there is not the re- 
finement of England, neither are there the vices 
of England.—In Denbighshire, there are only 3 
criminals in a population of about 70,000.—At 
Brecon, 2 for trial—At Merioneth, not one pri- 
soner for trial—At Carnarvon, 4.—At Flint, 2.— 
At Cardigan, there was not one prisoner for trial! 
On. this very cheering occasion, the officers’ wands 
were decorated with white ribands !—At Carmar- 
then, the sessions were postponed in consequence 
of Mr. Justice Heywood having been attacked
