Inasmuch, however, as he had already been two months in prison, the sentence of the Court was that he bt imprisoned for two months further with hard labour,—one month for each offence, the second month commencing 81 the expiration of the first. Counsel far the prosecution in each case, Mr. James W. Bown; attorney, Mr. Hugh Williams, Saint Clears. John Corbltf, an excavator, was charged with an assault on Henry Evans, on the first of December last, at Saint Clears, and in the second count of the indictment he was charged with an aggravated assault, the Grand Jury ignor- ing the bill, alleging the commission of a highway robbery. Mr. James W. Bo wen appeared for the prosecution, and called the witnesses. Prisoner said that he met the prose- cutor stupidly drunk, and he prayed the mercy of the Court. There was another man along with him when he came up. Prosecutor asked prisoner for tobacco, and pri- soner said that he had none. He then raised his hand .gainst prisoner, who pushed him away, when he fell down. The Chairman summed up, and the Jury returned a verdict of guilty of a common assault. Sentence one week's im- prisonment without hard labour. Attorney for the prose- cution, Mr. Hugh VVilliarfis, Saint Clears. Hannah Lewis was charged with having, on the 24th of December, stolen a sack, the property of Enoch Watkins and Thomas Lewis, trailing under the firm of Messrs. Tho- mas and Evans, at Newcastle Emlyn. She was likewise charged with having been convicted of felopy at the last Carmarthenshire Assizes. She first pleaded guilty, but subsequently withdrew that plea, stating that she found the sack on the road. Prisoner declined saying anything to Jury, and the Chairman having summed up, the Jury re- turned a verdict ofguihv. A previous conviction for felony at the March Assies, 1852. was proved, and the prisoner was sentenced to be imprisoned with hard labour for six calendar months. Attorney for the prosecution, Mr. D. Evans, Newcastle Emlyn. The Grand Jury ignored the bit! against Jolin David. for stealing potatoes, the property of James Thomas, of Kid- welly. Mr. James W. Bowen applied for the costs, stating the parties were bound over to prosecute by the Mayor of Kid wily, whose signature appeared to the depositions. The Clerk of the Pence said that it was singular that the Mayor of Kidwelly could make his signature at all. (Laugh- ter.) The Chairman did not know why the case was sent to the Quarter Sessions. Kidwelly had a Recorder and should hold a session of its own. Mr. James W. Bowen observed that Mr. Justice Vaughan Williams was the Re- corder of Kidwelly, but he held no Courts. The Clerk of the Peace said that Mr. Jeffries, the Deputy Recorder, might hold them. The costs were then allowed. Attorney for the prosecution. Mr. John Thomas Gwyn. Hannah Williams was indicted for having, on the 22nd of October last, stolen a shawl, the property-of Messrs. Evans and Thomas, Newcastle Emlyn. Mr. James Bowen ap- peared for the Crown. The Chairman summed up, recapi- tulating the evidence, and the Jury returned a verdict of guilty. Sentence, six weeks hard labour. Attorney for the prosecution, Mr. Benjamin Evans, Newcastle Emlyn. Dennis Sullivan Afathias and Daniel Murphy, were charged with having, at Trelech ar-Bettws, on the 4th of November last, stolen a brass pan, the property of Henry Davids, of the value of 10s. They were further charged with receiv- ing it knowing it to have been stolen. Mr Jas. \V. Bowen was counsel for the prosecution, Mr T. Parry defending the prisoners. Verdict Guilty. Each prisoner was sentenced to two months imprisonment with hard labour. Attorney for the prosecution, Mr G. Thomas, Carmarthen. The Governor of the Gaol observed that there was a sum of money found upon the prisoners, and he wished to know what was to be done with it. Mr Parry jocularly applied that it should be given to the prisoner's attorney. (Laughter.) Mr Bowen said that as they were convicted felons the money went to the Treasury. Mr Parry" Then in that case I withdraw my application. (Renewed laughter.) Mr Lascelles applied (previous to the commencement of the next case) that Barristers should have exclusive audi- ence in that Court. He observed that a similar motion had been made in Cardiganshire at the Sessions held on the pre- vious Tuesday and the application had been granted. Mr Prytherch Price observed that the motion had been fre- quently overruled. The noble Chairman said that as he only officiated pro tempore, he should be extremely reluctant to make an order upon the subject. The subject then dropped. The Grand Jury ignored the bill preferred against George Owens, for an assault with intent, &c., in the parish of Lian- gunnor. Attorney for the prosecution, Mr S. B. Edwardes; for the defendant, Messrs. Parry and Harries. Rees Jones was charged with having, on or about the 30th ( of September last, stolen a ram, the property of David Da- ( vies, of Llathige, in the parish of Conwil Caio. ( Mr Lascelles appeared tor the prosecution, Mr Popkin being the attorney. The prisoner was defended by Mr Pry- therch Price, assisted by Mr Parry. The facts of the case were as follows :-In September last the prosecutor had a tame ram, which was well known to all the neighbours, and was called Owen the frequent use of the ram's name occassioning much laughter in Court. The ram being a great pet had his horns decorated with red paint with holes bored through them. It was on the prosecutor's farm called Cwmyistill, on the 25th of September, and in the first week of October was hissed. On the llth of October, one of the ram's horns was given to the ptosecutor by a wo- man named Rachel Rees, the other being given to his son a day or two afterwards. Prosecutor swore that on two occa- sions prisoner had begged him not to pnnish him this time, and he would not do so again. On cross-examination, he admitted that he had commenced the conversation by asking prisoner if he had killed his ram, to which prisoner nave no answer. Prosecutor remembered prisoner's sister-in-law living with him, and saw her at prisoner's house for a quar- ter of an hour on one occassion when he went to fetch pri- soner to attend a Court Leet, but denied that he wished to pursuade her to marry him, although he admitted that his visit was after the horns were found, and before he went for a warrant. Evan Rees, of Penroch, proved that he found the horns at prisoner's house, when he went there for meat for a man named John, of Bridgend. Rachel Rees, mother of the last witness, obtained one horn from him and gave it to the prosecutor, while David Rees, a Smith, remembered his son Evan having the horns in his possession, and proved that in a conversation with prisoner, he had admitted that the horns belonged to Davtd Da visa's ram. Oncross-ex- aminatinn, however, he admitted that he had not stated this fact before the magistrates. P. C. John ftees produced "Owen's horns," which were identified by the prosecutor and the various witnesses. Mr Prytherch Price very ably addressed the jury in de- fence of the prisoner, who he said was a respectable farmer, and not at all likely to commit the alleged felony. He char- acterized the prosecution as a trumped-up affair, in conse- quence of the prosecutor being disappointed in his hopes in marrying prisoner's sister-in law, aud having pointed out several discrepencies in the evidence, confidently left the case in the hands of the jury. The Chairman summed up, & the jury acquitted prisoner. Robert Wilson pleaded Guilty to an indictment, charging him with having at Llangadock, on the 21st of December, stolen a pair of trousers and a pair of woollen stockings, the property of John Evans. He was sentenced to one month's imprisonment with hard labour. Thomas Jeffreys, a pig dealer, was charged with having on the 25th of December, at Llandilo, stolen seven pigs, the property of Thomas Rees. The prisoner pleaded not guilty. The Chairman intimidated that in the opinion of the Bench, there was no evidence contained in the depositions to war- rant a charge of felonv. Mr Bowen (who appeared as coun- set for the Crown) said that after that intimation he should decline proceeding with the case. The prisoner was conse- quently acquitted. The Chairman said in answer to an application for the costs, that the Court was bound to grant them, as the parties had been compelled to appear to answer their recognisances, but the case should never have been brought there. Attorney for the prosecution, Mr Popkin for the prisoner Messrs. Parry and Harries. This terminated the business, and the Sessions was ad- journed until the 4th of February.

'V'VVVVV'V'VVVV TSARMARTS Sot -I hope you will pardon my trespassing upon your valuable space. I believe time will develops all things,' and I trust the day has now arrived when Cardigan (the place of all others formed by nature for improvement) is about to rank with your town, and the various other towns in the Principality in the rail war world., We have had a public meeting, and a prospectus laid before the same both the Deputation and the plans propounded were most favour- ably received by the gentlemen and the landed proprietors o. thit neighbourhood, also the leading merchants and tradesmen of the tows, whe are all agueable to take shares. This. sir, in my opiiuea, is a project of the greatest importance, and a line, when completed, will most certainly prove a paying line to the shareholders. Cardiganshire, abounding as it does with its valuable minerals, the conveyance of which would prove a great revenue then its destitution of two great articles so necessary, one especially, for agricultural purposes, viz., lime and coals, which abound in the neigh- bouring county, Carmarthen, would be another source. But, sir, it is not to this alone that I look, say nothing ef passen- ger tramc,—I believe that if the line is completed and a harbour of refuge made, that we should have a considerable portion of the Irish trade. Cardigan being the nearest point to thatf place, and I think, just now, when the Hovernment are taking into consideration the defences of the country, it would be well that their attention should be directed to the Welsh coast, and have no doubt bunhey wouldtreadily co- operate with any respectabte company in making a harbour of refuge at Cardigan, -there being nowhere between Holly- head and Milford that a vessel could run in a gale of wind with any degree of safety. How often have vessels, after making their long voyage in safety, been wrecked in St. George's Chsnnel, and almost in sight of their own homes; but a harbour of refuge at Cardigan they could reach with ease; and should contrary winds continue, they could dis- charge their cargoes and the same be conveyed by means of ;be South Wales Railway to either of the great towns, north or south. I think the Directors of the South Wales Railway are alive to this, as they give the project their cordial sup- port, and no doubt beljeve it will be a good feeder for the South Wales Line, Our merchants are entirely prevented from exporting grain, butter, cheese, &c., to any extent, in consequence of the uncertainty of water conveyance. We have now vessels loaded with corn, 4c., laying in the river this last month, waiting for weather to go to sea, and in all, probability, by the time they reach the place of destination, the cargo in a great measure will be spoiled, thus prnying a c disappointment to the purchaser, and also a tremendous sa- f :rifice to the exporter. Bat with railwaycommunication, the game capital could be turned half a dogen times to the mutual I benefit of the parties concerned. I therefore trust thisschetpe will meet with tne support it deserves in the proper quarter, and that all Unded proprietors will do what they pin to f assist the Directors in so laudable an undertaking. At present I shall say nothing as to the facility it would afford Govern- ment in transmitting troops in case of a visit from our French friends. You remember the time they came without being j sent for, and landed upon our shores but a little to the south | of this place. Also, many other cpnsideratipns which could I be urged in favour of this line, but must now beg pardon for troubling you at such length, and remain, eir, ] Cardigin, Jan. 12, 1852. Amicus. <

SAINT DAVID'S COLLEGE.—The late Mr. Thomas Phillips of Brunswick Square, has left by beqnrest a sum of aboo £ 6t000, for the purpose of founding's profes orship of the physical sciences in this college. Fflora a considerable num-, ber of candidates, the principal and professors have elected to the office the Rev. Joseph Matthew, M.A., of Saint John's College, Cambridg", whose recommendations are of a very high character. With this handsome bequest Mr. Phillips closed a series of munificent donations, which for several years have testified his interest in the colleges of the principality. To his generosity it has been indebted for the enlargement of the library,, by the addition of more than 22,000 volumes, in- cludmg among them many works of costly price and high literary value, A few years before his death he also conveyed to Saint David's College, by deed of gift. the sum of £4.800, to found six scholarships, tor the benefit of natives of Wales and Monmouthshire. We conclude from the following order (which is followed by many others), that the proceeds ot the livings, now held by Saint David's College. are to be disposed of in a manner which will be more advantageous to that InstitutionTHE ECCLESIASTICAL COMMISSIONERS.—By an Order in Council. olated Windsor, the 28th of December, Her Majesty has been pleased to ratify a scheme, proposed by the Ecclesiastical Commisioner for England, for authorizing the sale of the ad- vowsons of certain benefices therein mentioned, now belong- ing to the principal, tutors, and professors, of Saint David's College, at Lampeter, in the county of Cardigan, and for the investment of the proceeds of such sale in such a way as shall be approved by Her Majesty—Merthyr Guardian.

"ACCIDENTAL DEATH FROM THE KICK OF A HORSE.— On Friday last, as Mr David Hugh, of Bryngwynmawr,near Velinfole, was driving an eld farm horse before him towards the yard, he happened to strike the animal with a small twig >n his hind quarter, when he kicked out and struck liirn in ;he abdomen mortification ensued, and he expired last Sun- lay morning. PRAYER FOR TltB EXTIRPATION O? HERESY BY CHRIS- TIAN PRINCES.—A correspondent sends us the following literal translation of a notice affixed at this moment on certain churches of Paris:—"Plenary Indulgence accorded by our Holy Father, Pope Pins the Ninth.-A plenary indulgence is accorded to all the faithful who, having confessed and com- municated, shall visit the church where the holy sacrament is exposed, and pray during a certain time for an agreement among Christian princes for the extirpation of heresy, and for the exaltation of our holy mother Church." This indul- gence has been, at the request of the Archbishop of Paris, extended from the churches of Rome to those of Paris, by letters apostolic from Pope Pius IX, dated July 16, 1851.— Annates du Christianisme, Dec. 25, 1852. THE OLD TRICK AGAIN,—Last week, a genteel looking man, representing himself a tnteller in the tobacco trade, called in a shop in the neighbourhood of Tregarron, which is kept by an aged maiden, and offered her a package ot the weed for X5. After some talk a bargain was made for X2 and after receiving the money wished her a good day. On opening the parse), to the great disappointment of the poor waman, she found that it contained nothing but sawdust and a little tobacco on the outride. A CORSAIR.—The captain of the Prussian brig Flora, which arrived at Marseilles on the 22nd December, reports that on his way to that port with a cargo of coals from Shields in England, he was stopped in the Straits of Gibratter on the 7th by a strange vessel manned by ten men, who immediately fired on the crew, and going on board ordered him to direct his vessel on the coast ot Morocco, and to run it on shere. From the calm which prevailed he was unable to do this; whereupon the pirates, thinking the fault was in the helms- man, shot him dead and threw him overboard. This murder terrified the crew, and they went into the hold, leaving the captain and his mate on deck. The pirates then pillaged the effects of the crew the stores, and provisions after which they quitted the vessel and sailed towards Morocco. ESCAPBFROM A. TIGBR.— FEMALE HEROISM.—On the evening of Christmay Day a young woman was carelessly gaging at A leopard m Batty's menagerie, now exhibiting in Huddersfield she sauntered within the reach of the tigers' den, when one of the ferocious animals thrust forth one of its paws through the wires, and seized her by the coil of plaited hair behind the crown of her head. Fortunately a female of slender frame, but of heroic fortitude, was standing by. and saw the tiger seize its intended prey. This woman, with extraordinary presence of mind, seized the girl by the waist and, notwithstanding'the terrific growling of the beast, maintained her hold and pulled with masculine vigour. The tiger's lusty sinews still retained their grasp, and it roared and plunged terrifically. At this moment the struggle was a tearful and awful one. The people inside the menagerie set up shouts of alarm, which communicated with the crowd outside, and produced a scene which may be better imagined than described. At length the comb dropped from her hair, the coil unfurled, and the young woman was rescued, leaving the tiger's paw full of her hair, and a silk handkerchief which she had thrown over her head when the tiger seized her. The unfortunate girl fainted, but soon recovered again, and we are happy to add without having sustained any injury beyond the fright, ani the loss of about a handful of halr.- Leeds Intelligencer. EXTRAORDINARY LAUNCH.—The gate ef Monday appears to have subserved a good purpose at Troon. A clipper was on the blocks at one of the building slips ready for launching. The tide rose a great height from the violence ot the storm, and flooded the clipper off the blocks. She was intended to have been launched during next week, but this occurrence anticipated the day, and rendered a more formal launch unnecessary. She was floated into the harbour, and there moored in perfect safety.—Edinburgh Witness From the ship Brandscompt, at present unloading Peruvian guano at Leith, there were, a few days ago, exhumed the remains of three persons, evidently Peruvians, buried in the guano, and which had apparently not been disturbed in the process of loading the ship. The remains illustrate a curious property in the guano in preserving bones, hair, and clothes, while completely decomposing flesh. It is not known when the bodies were originally interred, but the bones were all found as entire as if they had been preserved in a museum, the hair remained upon the skull, and the clothes were very little decayed.—North British Mad. Reuben Ingham, a boy six years of age, has died in Man- chester, of venous congestion of the brain, produced by a shock in the system from seeing a mask belonging to another little boy. AYR CoLUERY.—RME OF W AGM.-A few weeks ago J. T. Gordon, Esq., the proprietor of these works, advanced the wages of his colliers sixpence per day; and on Thursday last again advanced them sixpence per day.

,MILORD.—CASE OF SALVAGE."
C. A. HAHEIEs, Esq., was gazetted on Tuesday last a First Lieutenant, and J. James, Esq., Secoud Lieu- tenant. in the Pembrokeshire Militia. NARBERTH, January 7th, 1852.-This being the 41st anniversary of the Friendly Benefit Society held at the Bush Tavern, in this town, the members met at the clnb. room at 11 o'clock, and formed themselves into procession, and, with the Narberth brass band, proceeded to the Ta- bernacle (Independent) chapel to Divine Worship, when the Rev. Joseph Morris delivered a most appropriate dis- course from 23rd Psalm, v. lst, The Lord is my shep- herd, I shall not want." The members then walked through the principal streets, and on their return to the Bush mine best and hostess had prepared a sumptuous repast, which did them great credit. The cwrw da was also tint rate. Mr W. Phillips was unanimously elected chairman. On his health being drank, he stated, that he was most happy to inform the members that the society was in a most flourishing condition, the funds at present amounting to upwards JE900. Mr John Roblin, currier, in a neat sperch, in which he threw out some ex- cellent remarks on the management of the society, returned thanks for the arbitrators. Mr Arthur Williams followed in the fame course. Mr John Lewis, maltster, responded to the prosperity of the town and trade of Narberth. Mr John Griffiths, butcher, in a hnmourous speech, returned thanks for the mrrried ladies. Several other toasts and speeehes were delivered. We must say that the singing on the occasion was the best we have heard for some time. The evening was spent to every one's satisfaction. The company separating at an early hour, highly delighted with the day's entertainment. LLASSTADWILI. SCHOOL.—The children of this school were examined on Tuesday, the 4th instant, by the Rev. J. Tombs, of Llanstadwell, the Rev. James, Brown, late of Narberth, aed Mr. Hughes, of Milford. The subjects in which they were examined were Scripture, Arithmetic, Geography, Mensuration, and Mechanics; and it is gratifying to state, that the answers of the children were highly satisfactory to those who were examining and also to the parents who had come there to witness the progress the children had made, during the short time the school had been established. The good order which prevailed, and the correctness of the childrens' aaswers, reflected great credit upon themselves and also upon Mr. C res wick, the master. During the afternoon the children were regaled with tea and its usual accompaniments, plum cake, &c.. at the expense of Mr. Tombs, who with Mrs. Tombs, with their usual kindness took an active part in the proceedings.1 The room was tastefully decorated with fiowers and evergreens, which gave the festive board t cheering aspect, and seemed much to interest the party assembled. At the conclusion the children and parents were addressed by the Rev. J. Brown, and the Rev. J. Tombs, in which the Rev. Gentlemen pointed out the value of education, and its effects upon the morals of the children. After the children had sung, and a short prayer have been offered by the Rev. James Brown, the -company separated, highly pleased with the proceed- ings of the evening. YEOMANRY CAVALRY.—We are glad to find such an im- provement in the arms and accoutrements of the Yeomanry Cavalry of our county is about to take place. To render aucb corps efficient, they should in every respect be furnished as the regular troops,- a circumstance too much neglected in this force in general, Another great evil in some of "these corps, is that of gentlemen lending their horses to troopers in order to avoid the horse duty. There are cases where officers of good salaries under the crown, actually thus elude the horse tax. Not only is the nation saddled with the expense of the corps (we do not for one moment luppose that the parties receive any portion of the troopers pay for the loan of their horses) but that legitimate duty evaded which the country legally enforces and which, at least, those holding lucrative offices under the crown should be the last thus to evade. The commanding officers of these corps will both gain the approbation of their fellow subjects by dis- countenancing such practices, and at the same time render the force much more popular than it is at present throughout the kingdom. CHRISTMAS BOUNTIES.—The poor of the parish of Saint Ishmaels beg to return their best thanks taJL J. Allen, Esq., of Bedford-row, London, for £5, and to G., Roch, Esquire, of Butter-hill, for money and clothing distributed among them during Christinas week.
