Abele ten days syrav the distaybitnees of .witiish

out into serious rioting. The mob as.embled, and
attacked the workhouse of Carmarthen. We so.

with a bludgeon, and some of them had plate's.
At their head was carried two banners, bearing
inscriptions in Welch, of 'freedom, liberty, and

they separated into two bodies, the one taking

leg in the most terific manner. Upon their
reaching the Guildhall square, both the parties
joined, they proceeded to the workhuuse shouting
out in Welch, and being joined by many of the
Welch inhabitants of the town. On their reach •
ing the workhouse they broke open the gates of
'the court in front, and having geined an entrance
into the house, they immediately demolished the
furniture, and threw the beds and bedding out of
the windows. Fortunately, whilat they were thus
pursuing the work of destruction, a troop of the
4th Light Dragoons, who had been seat for by
express from Neath, art ived, but in such an exhaus- '
Ted state that two of the troopers' horses fell dead
from excessive fatigue. One of the rioters seized
the head of one of the soldiers' horses, and was
cut titian by him. This excited fresh furyin the
mob, and the yells tecarrie tremendous. The solo.
diere, however, galloped through the town to the
arse:thou:a, and having entered the court sew. d

read, and a cry being raised that the soldiers
' were going to charge, the snob fled in every di
' rection, leaving more thait sixty horses, besides
the above prisoners, in the handaofthe captors.—
The Mayor and magistrates then assembled at the
workhouse, and having examined the prisoners,
they were most of them conveyed to the goal in
the course or this afternoon, escorted by the mili
tary and the special cmstables, another troop of
horse having arrived previuusly to this time. Ac-
cording to another version, the leading body con

attacked it. They chine.) over the high walla
with which the building is surrounded, and then
burst open the lodge gates and porter's door, the
horsemen rode into the yard and surrounded the
premises, and the rioters on foot soon forced an
entrance into the building and commenced their
work of destruction.
An attempt was snide to rush upon the military;
they were ordered to charge as the riders v•isliin

Discl)snres Coming.
We learn from a respectable source.
j that the disclosures spoken of in our paper
of Tuesday, are in course of preparation,
and that Mr. Craig will have them ready
for publication in August or September, a•
bout the time that the Gazette wants the
country people to come to the rebcue of the
blue noses. Ifa full report of the disclo.

the antimason-ie , ticket, and secure for Mr
Craig and the gentleman who unbosomed
himself to him, a wide spread notoriety.—

great injustice to the antimasonic party by
withholding them so long. This indiffer

lodge is quite inexplicable to many of his
antirnasonic friends, and has already crea

honesty of his opposition to the "blood

the antioaasonic hobby, only straddled it

is cause until he found that a majority of
his subscribers were antimasons, and he
never considered it a duty to oppose the
lodge until it was evident such a course of
conduct would increase the profits of his
printing office. This suspicion miy do ins
justice to Mr. Craig; he may have d ter

and be politically botied. with it on the

to make public the disclosures rs:erred to,

about 8 years old, who saw the mother ex

continued to watch over duritig the whole
of the gloomy night, and did not leave the

Fur the Post,
Messrs Editors.—A writer in your paper of yes
terday not only denounc.:s the Court for the exer
cise of their di,cretion in tile matter of Tavern
Licenses but asserts that no such discretion exists,
and that 'every person applting as required by
law, is entitled to license,' irrespective of such dis•
cretion. Whether the Court erred or not in the
exercise of their 'supposed discretion,' 1 will not
underiske to say. I presume, however, that if
they shall find a very great degree of misery and
de-titution resulting to tl sir fellow—men, and to
the wives and families of their fellow men, from
the scarcity of houses fur the sale of vmous and
spirituous liquors,* they will at the fit opportu
nity license a sufficient number of such howes to
restore happiness and pre:Terity. But as to the
existence of a discretionary power in the Court, 1
