Le satisfactory for you to know that you will shortly relieved from the discharge of your duties. The Z., t"'t circuit of one of Her Majesty's Judges has re- le a4"'l you from duties which you are ordinarily called ?o ? ? Perform. At present there are but two prisoners f0f *?1: one only appears on the calendar, the other is Out °? bail; and I do not think it necessary to call ? a Particular attention to either of these cases-one a charge of stealing a turkey. Now, a turkey being kr, ?'Oal fit for the food of man, the stealing of it is b ? declared to be larceny the evidence will be L;yf,te you, and if it be satisfactory, you will of course ?rao f true ??! the other is a charge of stealing some 4tic 'es belonging to a colliery, I thought on the first ?6? °? this, it was so connected with machinery, as to b,.rl ?

"wen, Vice-Lieutenant, said that in pursuance "f j °? iven at the last Quarter Sessions, he moved ?P h?? .? Rural Police for Pembrokeshire, to be sta- ttern ? ?our districts, namely, Narberth, Kilgerran, ?  ?ad ungleddy: that it was the intention of the Ieerl,t ar0t ate to withdraw the Metropolitan Police, HoSe erV'Ces he had employed for the last six months, t?e county—their services were wanted elsewhere letter Confirmation of his statement he would read a 'etter ?'? Col. Love, directed to him as Vice-Lieute-  the county. He thought it probable that an ?Uth might be raised that day that we were not in ,tkr,tOf such a force from the present apparent tranquil %tat Of the country. He acknowledged with great M*?? t re the present peaceable state of the country, and ^at ;t ?s not likely to see the same outrages as those to, '?itt,d last winter. But for this were we not in- ?bt? t, the metropolitan police? they had acted most ?o??° 8. showing great patience, good temper, and a illI. n 9 aehnty; but they were to be withdrawn, and ?1{? ?'?y; but they were to be withdrawn, and ?? should be taken for the maintenance of the ?lie ??' He doubted whether the peace could be ?Per Woj.?d "Pt with the ordinary constabulary force, and rteIV 1efor the magistrates to say whether by the 's t??a) °f the metropolitan police and the rejection of p,. ??R, they would not be subject to similar n??a ts those which had produced such calamities to andL neighbouring counties. Unless they could the; Iear on this point, they would support his ?OsRit'°?' The counties of Carmarthen and Cardigan ?? Ural Police. Was this county a better one ? It tru he himself had clung to the idea that the .'?*<} ? sl?i" people were better than their neighbours  Wit I great reluctance he got up to make the r?, t ?Position. He was aware that it was an un- 41 a'r "I I ?? what alternative had they? It was t??tel??"??' t the parish constables were inefficient— th ey Were not worth their pay; and unless some fh?'?t .??edy were adopted now, he feared at some ??e '? they would say they regretted they did not kRrt,,to  Proposition in the early part of 1844. He .?1? 4 4Ned lem how they took the responsibility of the al- h^Miv ad concluded by leaving the matter in their ??.t)??S they would give it their best consideration. L 13. Allean' Esq. seconded the proposition, saying, ^t jt as a Matter that required a good deal of con- ? ?i,, ? "Ptore rejected. As far as his judgment t?? he 10uRht the country in favor of police; and n? t? °"ly objection was the expense. He admitted ?? it t it' 8areat objection, but at the same time ^40t llg!!t j, t'Ir the circumstances it would not do to t))? ?ad Ountry an unprotected state. Gross out- Cfi ?

In ? ?'? °?1 ? ?'S?hourhood a clergyman is shot at by an '))?in. ??y they could not for one moment say ?a ?Cou,? m llich such things as these took place, 'k It i11 a state °? Perfect tranquillity. His belief was th ;,t a Uurai hPo]¡ce "'°"? be the best plan, and ulti- ?t ?y the ch P?? plan-it would limit the expenses "f -'?t???Y should meet the evil in the mode most applicable to the outrages committed. It was a matter of great importance, and he hoped it would have the impartial discussion of the county. The Rev. T. Martin said, the Vice Lieutenant had discharged his duty by bringing forward to their con- sideration the question of a Rural Police. He knew that the Colonel would not but on peculiar grounds have given notice of his proposition at the last Quarter Sessions. It was an undeniable fact that scenes highly discreditable—outrages truly disgraceful had been wit- nessed in this part of the country, but they had va- nished, and were now the things of by gone days and the idea that might was right had entirely fled. The Colonel had alluded to the County of Carmarthen as having a Rural Police—but there the whole county was subject to the burden of that body—Cardigan was in the same position. The county now was peaceable and tranquil. Men were coming forward voluntarily offering their services to preserve the peace. It fell to his (Mr. Martin's) lot in one district to enroll 100 men, he found them determined to abide by their oath and he would ask the magistrates now under these circum- stances, and when all was peace and tranquillity, would they call on this county, burdened as it already was with taxation and agricultural depression, to pay f2000 a-year to preserve its peace. The Rev. Gentleman concluded by negativing the proposition, and proposing the folbwing amendment. The magistrates having been invited to decide upon the propriety of the introduction of a Rural Police, feel themselves called upon to decline such a measure on the present occasion. Perfectly well aware of the depressed state of agriculture they are averse to impose any heavy additional burden upon the yeomanry and industrious' population of the county until they receive such information as shall clearly demonstrate the im- possibility of preserving the peace and security of society without the introduction of the expensive agency of Rural Police." J. P. A. Lloyd Philipps, Esq., seconded the amend- ment. John Henry Philipps, Esq., could not agree to the introduction of a Rural Police. It fell to his lot 5 years ago to make a similar proposition to the one he now held in his hand. It was rather singular in the course of a man's life that having made a proposition which was rejected, he should five years afterwards be called upon to make a similar one. The sentiments he expressed on that occasion were still his. If he could not remember the precise words of that proposition yet his memory served him in essentials. He was not prepared to go the lengths to say that a county limited in its population was in the position to pay so large a force as that contemplated by Col Owen, yet he would not say that it was not necessary to do anything at all: he thought the provisions of the act 5th and 6th William the 4th, if carried out, sufficient to preserve the peace of the county. And then there was the difficulty of aban- doning a Rural Police. He did not see if it were once established how they could retrace their steps. And what could a Rural Police do of themselves ? Why, nothing at all. The preservation of the peace of the county, would depend upon its good inhabitants: and no good could be effected without organization of the whole. Mr. Philipps read his proposition, which was as follows :— The magistrates though they do not feel themselves called on to impose such a burden on the rate-payers as the Establishment of a Rural Police would involve, are of opinion that the altered state of society arising from increased population and more rapid intercourse with other parts of the Kingdom demands some correspon- ding alteration in the constabulary force and they are prepared to give their best attention to any measure for its improvement which may be found consistent with the maintenance of local control, and removing of local taxation." H. Leach Esq., complimented the meeting on the honesty, candour, and good feeling, which prevailed during its discussion of the Vice Lieutenant's propo- sition. He would give the Vice Lieutenant full credit for the honesty of his intentions, and for the ability which he had exhibited that day. The matter in question was most important; and he (Mr. Leach) had given it his mature consideration and if he could not boast of equal consistency of opinions with his talented friend Mr. Philipps he felt he could boast of equal honesty of intentions, and could not support the proposition of his friend Col. Owen. He (Mr. Leach) was free to admit the inefficiency of the present constabulary force to com- pete with evils similar to those which had recently exis- ted but those evils had passed away, never—he hoped —to return; and he held in his hand a declaration signed by 1,700 of the yeomanry of the county by which they pledged themselves to the utmost of their power to preserve and protect the public peace and this was no small matter. He knew the yeomanry of this County well they were not given to lie.—He would take the declaration of these seventeen hundred farmers as a guarantee for the fulfilment of what they pledged. Let the magistrates be true to themselves. The country was already heavily taxed, and in its present depressed state of agriculture he could not vote for the estab- lishment of a force which would subject the county to an additional tax of about £2,000 a-year. The Chairman then directed the Clerk of the Peace to take the sense of the meeting, when there appeared— For Col. Owen's proposition, 3 for Mr. Martin's amendment, 28; majority, 2o. Mr. Philipps's propo- sition was then put as a substantive motion and agreed to. —————— TENBY STEEPLE CHASE.—The projected grand Steeple Chase came off on Monday last, about four miles from Tenby, and afforded to thousands of spec- tators a highly exciting and interesting sight. The day proved auspicious, and being a holiday, half the population of the neighbourhood were assembled to witness the race, which was very well and closely con- tested, and finally won by Smolensko, in consequence of Gipsey-Girl falling, in the act of clearing the last obstacle in her progress to the goal. But for this un- lucky accident, the honour of the day had been hers. From the fact that some of the horses had contended together before, both at Haverfordwest and Cardigan, the thing excited great interest, not only in the neighbour- hood of Tenby, but also in the sporting town of Haver- fordwest, and many were the conjectures and beta as to the result. The entries were more numerous than at any previous Steeple Chase, there being fifteen in num- ber, but it damped the spirits of many when it was known that the favorite mare Kitty was not to go," as she was objected to on the ground that her being en- tered with Mr. Seymour Allen, of Cresselly, one of the stewards, instead of at the Coburg Hotel, as specified in the bills, disqualified her; her withdrawal, however, detracted much from the interest of the race, as she would have here met some of her previous companions in the field; and it was considered would have pressed them close. The morning of the race was lovely, but at 8 o'clock a dense sea haze came on, which rendered it doubtful whether the performers in the race would be able to see much farther than their noses; about twelve, however, the sun dispelled the mist, and a cloud- less sky and a hot sun put every one into good spirits. The scene of action was close to the residence of J. Myers, Esq., at Ivy Tower. There were altogether about 45 leaps, distance 4 miles, and the whole of the course, which was circular, could be seen by the spectators. At three o'clock, 10 came to the post, and having first paraded in front of the spectators they proceeded to the starting field. Having formed in line the word off" was given by Mr. Seymour Allen. They all took the first bank steadily, Giraffe slightly in advance. In this order they proceeded to the turning flag, Mr. G. Lock on Gazelle having first measured his length on the ground, Giraffe then led at a good pace to the road followed by St. Botolph, Gipsy Girl, Dr. Faustus, and Smolensko the rest well up, they all got safe across the road. Giraffe cut out the work across the first field, and at a racing pace into the St. Florence Lane. They all got across the first ploughed field in the order mentioned into the large field on Mr. Lock's farm at Jordanston. This was rather swampy galloping ground, and through this John Davies led them at such a rattling pace, as to raise doubts in the minds of some, whether Giraffe could live through it. At the next fence Smolensko, who was close in his rear, fell, cut his rider's (Evans) head, whose wits in consequence went wool-gathering, and nearly all the horses passed him through Somerton big field pace was the order of the day, Giraffe still first into and out of the Carew road. St. B. fell on getting into the ploughed field. As to the rest the pace had been so severe that they ran out of the race, the race however is not always to the swift, as the sequel will prove, for Oil getting into the uphill field at Cotchilard, Giraffe cried "Hold! enough" the opinion of all is, either as John Davies said, the breastplate choked him, or the pace, it was certain that at the next fence into the clover field he fell, as did Dr. Faustus, Smolensko here came up with them, and into the ploughed fields towards Redbert. They went as follows: St. Botolph with a very strong lead, Gipsy Girl 2nd, Smolensko 3d, the rest we believe thought they might as well get home by the nearest cut near the turning flag at Red- bert Court. St. B.'s rider mistook the flag, and had to turn back, by which he lost ground, and shortly afterwards fell at a bank, which enabled Gipsy Girl to overtake him, she was on his quarters when Griffiths remounted. Smolenslw also fell and was some time before he took his leap which to all appearance threw his chance away. The race was now between St. Botolph and the Gipsy Girl, they took their banks nearly together, being alternately a length in advance. The Gipsy fell, but Davies was at work in an instant, overtook St. E., and at the last fence but one they were together the field before the winning one Gipsy Girl was slightly in advance, and tried the last bank first, but failed, it was evident she had nothing left in her. St. B. now tried, failed once, but on the second attempt took it well, but on landing Griffiths fell off evidently exhausted, for he had not strength to catch his horse. In the mean time Davies tried the Gipsy, she failed again and sent him a purler over her head into the winning field. The crowd now rushed in, and loud were the vociferations not to catch St. B. During this excite- ment, with St. B. in the winning field, and Davies on the other side, Smolensko came up and cleared his last bank in excellent style and came in the fortunate winner, Confidence 2d, Gipsy Girl 3d, the rest at their leisure. After the chase had concluded, an excellent dinner was served at the Cobourg Hotel, which was attended by most of the gentlemen, and several trades- men of the town. On Tuesday last two boys, aged respectively 4 and 5 years, sons of William Morgan and Rees Jenkins, of Langum, Pembrokeshire, were poisoned by eating hemlock one was discovered by his mother lying out- side the door apparently lifeless, when the mother caught him up thinking he was in a fit, and he breathed his last in her arms the other seeing his playfellow ill, had gone about a hundred yards from him by the parent's direction to get some assistance, when he also fell on his face and soon expired. The Petty Sessions for the hundred of Kemes was holden at the Castle Inn, Newport, (Pembrokeshire,) on Thursday, the 4th inst., before the Rev. John Pugh, Clerk, Chairman, James Bowen Bowen, Esq., Troed- yr-aur, J. T. W. James, Esq., G. D. Griffith, Esq., and James Bowen, Esq., Newport. The different overseers of the Poor for each of the parishes, in the hundred were appointed also the parish constables nominated, and also a return made of the surveyors of highways for the ensuing year. An order of removal was granted to the overseers of Llanychllwydog to remove Thomas Reed, and his wife to the parish of And an order of affiliation made upon Mr. John Owen, of Graig, in the parish of Mount in the county of Cardigan, for the expense incurred and maintenance of a bastard child begotten on Hannah Christmas, of the parish of St. Dogmels the sessions were then adjourned. On Monday last a meeting was held at the vestry of St. Mary's Church, Tenby, in order to elect the church- wardens for the ensuing year. The persons chosen to fill this responsible office were Mr. Clark, who was re- elected for the third successive year, and Mr. King, in the room of Mr. Walkinton. NARBERTH UNION.—J. H. Allen, Esq., of Cresselly, has been elected chairman of the Narberth Board of Guardians. The Rev. R. B. Jones, and James Stretch, Esq., were elected vice-chairmen.
,CARDIGANSHIRE QUARTER SESSIONS.
CARDIGANSHIRE QUARTER SESSIONS. These Quarter Sessions were held at the Aberystwyth Town-Hall on Tuesday last, and the attendance of ma- gistrates was greater than has been known for many years. In the absence of D. Saunders Davies, Esq., M.P. the regular chairman, E. Lloyd Williams, Esq. was ap- pointed Chairman. The other magistrates present were Col. Powell, M. P., the Right Hon. the Earl of Lisburne, Pryse Pryse, Esq., Lodge Park; George Parry, Esq., Llidiade John Hughes, Esq., Alltlwyd; John Boultbee, Esq.; Matthew Davies, Esq.; John M. Davies, Esq.; Penpomprcn Matthew D. Williams, Esq., Cwm: C. R. Longcroft, Esq.; D. Davies, Esq., Coedgain; D. Davies, Esq., Crigie James Bowen, Esq.; R. O. Powell, Esq.. Capt. Jones, Gwynfryn George Jeffries, Esq.; C. A, Pritchard, Esq.; John Lewes, Esq.; J. W. Lewis, Esq.; A. L. Gwynne, Esq.; Jordan, Esq.; W. Griffith, Esq.; Rev. Mr. Morris, Ystradmeurig; H. W. Howell, Esq.; F. D. Saunders, Esq.; Thomas O. Morgan, Esq.; W. E. Richards, Esq.; W. C. Gilbertson, Esq.; J. Ll. Phillips, Esq.; A. A. Ll. Williams, Esq. The Grand Jury having been sworn, the Chairman addressed them briefly, and having congratulated them upon the calendar being so light, he stated that their function was not to try the prisoners but to consider whether there was pro- bable evidence to justify putting them on their trial. John Williams, aged 21, was indicted for having, on the 25th day of March last, stolen one pair of trousers, the property of John Evans, of Penbryn-bach, in the parish of Llansantfraid. He was also indicted with having, on the 26th day of March last, entered the house of Mary Jones, and with menaces, demanded money from her, with intent to carry it away. The prisoner pleaded guilty to both indictments. Sentence—Two months' imprisonment for the first indictment; for the second, four months' imprisonment with hard labour, and the first and last week of the four months to be in solitary confinement. Hugh Davies, a hatter from Tre-Taliesin, was charged with having, on the 16th of March last, stolen 2 donkey cart loads full of turf, the property of Thomas Thomas, also of Tre-Taliesin. The principal witness against the prisoner was William Jones, a servant at Gelly, a farm in the neighbourhood of Gors-fochno or Turbary, where the turf was stolen from. This witness stated, that on the day in question he saw the prisoner take away the turf from some stacks belonging to the prosecutor on the said Turbary; and a few days afterwards the pri- soner came to him and confessed having done so, and requested the witness not to inform against him pro- mising him in case he would be silent, to make him as good a hat as any Welshman need to wear. This wit- ness was cross-examined by Mr. W. H. Thomas, but nothing material was elicited to shake his testimony. The Chairman summed up, and said if the Jury believed the witness Jones, they could do no otherwise than find the prisoner guilty. The Jury, after a short consulta- tion, found the prisoner Guilty. Sentence—Two months' imprisonment; last week in solitary confinement. The Right Hon. the Earl of Lisburne appeared in Court, and qualified as a magistrate for the county. In pursuance of an order made at the last Quarter Sessions the motion for removing the Quarter Sessions to Aberayron was mentioned. But Dr. Llewellyn, the mover of the measure, was absent. A letter being read from him stating that a domestic affliction rendered his attendance impossible, it became a question whether the court should proceed with that business in the absence of the mover, or adjourn it, or allow it to drop altogether. There appearing no disposition in any of the magistrates to proceed with the measure in the present Sessions, the question was thus narrowed into whether it should be dropped altogether so that it could not be brought forward again without giving fresh notice, or whether it should be merely adjourned. After some discussion it was put to the vote whether it should be dropped altogether or be adjourned to the next Quarter Sessions at Lampeter, and the question of the adjournment was carried, Col. Powell stating that he voted for the adjournment from courtesy to Dr. Llewellyn. Mr. Matthew D. Williams then brought forward his motion upon the subject of the Rural Police. The worthy magistrate at the outset stated with considerable minuteness the circumstances connected with the meet- ing of magistrates at Aberayron, in November last. That meeting he stated was one of the largest ever known, there being 35 magistrates present. Its object was to place the Rural Police over the whole county. As the upper district was perfectly peaceable, he and the magistrates of that district went down to that meet- ing for the purpose of remonstrating against the injus- tice of saddling the peaceable district with a tax which could only be justified by their misconduct—to prevent in fact the innocent from being punished for the sins of the guilty. At that meeting they did not come to any vote, but he had no doubt that if it had been put to the vote the question as to doing away with the Rural Police altogether would have been carried. The arrangement then made was that suggested by Mr. John Lloyd Davies the question as to the Rural Police was post- poned for two months, until the next Quarter Sessions in the meantime special constables were to be sworn in for those localities when they were required, so that the county should be thrown 011 its own resources for the preservation of the peace. But if this plan should be found unavailing, then a Rural Police might be had re- course to—the people being during the probationary period as it were on their parole, and the Rural Police being held in terrorem over them, and to be made the penalty of misconduct and not without. Mr. Williams went on to state that he and the upper district magistrates consented to this arrangement, and congratulated them- selves that justice was done to the inhabitants of their district, and felt themselves quite satisfied with the pledge of the magistrates that the alternative of a rural police should not be resorted to so long as peace was preserved. Well, then, in the upper district peace was pi-escrved, for it had never been broken and he and all his friends reposed the firmest and most undoubting confidence that no Rural Police should be introduced so long as peace was preserved. What then was his surprise when he found that at the next quarter sessions at Car- digan, the measure for establishing a Rural Police for the whole county was carried, and this included the peaceable upper district without the shadow of an alle- gation, that there was or ever had been any tumult or disorder in that upper district. This was carried because the majority of the upper district were absent, and they were absent because they reposed the most implicit confidence in the Aberayron manilcstoe, that no Kural Police should be imposed" upon the upper district so long as they remained peaceable. Here Mr. Williams in the most solemn manner said, I fearlessly assert that by the conduct of the magistrates at Cardigan, in bringing the Rural Police upon the whole county, the people have been taken by surprise, and so far as I understand the nature of an obligation, breach of faith has been commit- nature of an o ted with the county. The upper district were given to un- derstand. that so long as they remained peaceable they should have no Rural Police. This was the feeling throughout the whole district. He reposed the most profound confidence in the honor of the magistrates, not a single petition was sent to Cardigan, when so many were sent to Aberayron. And how was this ? Why, because they knew they were peaceable, and they con- fided in the Aberayron pledge, that so long as they re- mained peaceable no Rural Police should be placed over them. If they felt otherwise, they would have sent petitions to Cardigan as they did to Aberayron. In this part of his speech Mr. AVilliams, repeatedly told the Bench, you have broke your faith with the people of the upper district, and I beseech you to make amends by exempting the Hundreds of Geneu'rglyn and Upper liar from the presence of this police, unless you mean the innocent should suffer for the guilty. If any part of the county require rural police, let them have them and pay for them. Let it not be said to the disgrace of an innocent and widely scattered population that they require such a force to keep them quiet. They have now no grievances—their peaceableness proves it; then do not supply them with a grievance by forcing this police upon them (Loud applause.) Mr. Williams then stated as a proof of the peaceableness of the upper district, that while all the turnpikes in the lower part of the county had been destroyed, the 7 gates belonging to the upper district had not been touched. He doubted the effectiveness of a Rural Police even in a disturbed district. Look at the recent outrage at Cardigan there the turnpike was demolished in spite of the presence of the military, as well as the London police. No, it is moral force alone that can restore and preserve the peace of the county. As this is a court of justice, let them act with justice, the mam characteristic of which is to discriminate between the innocent and the guilty. And he concluded by moving, that the Hundreds of Geneu'rglyn and Upper liar be exempted from the Rural Police. The Earl of Lisburne seconded the motion, and stated emphatically that a Rural Police was not required for the upper district. Here a discussion took place as to whether Mr. Williams's present motion was in accord- ance with the notice of motion he had given. At length Mr. Williams withdrew his first motion, and proposed another :-that the county should be divided into two districts, the first of which should consist of the Hun- dreds of Geneu'rglyn and Upper liar; and that only one Rural Police constable should be placed over and paid by the district consisting of those two Hundreds. This being put to the vote, was carried by the majority of 2. While Mr. Prysc Pryse recorded his vote in this majority, he stated that by voting on that occasion he did not preclude himself from following up his notice of motion to do away with the Police Force altogether, which is to come on in October next. In discussing the question respecting the defraying of the expenses of the Rural Police, it was decided that the town of Aberystwith is not liable to the Rural Police rate. On this occasion a penny rate was appointed to defray the expense of the Rural Police. APPEALS. I Kilger?,an Y. Lleclt,-yd. -Touching the removal of Mary Jenkins. Appeal lodged, and hearing respited.

The following is an abstract of the published account for the year ending 25th of March. 1843:- In-door establishment, including interest on 4 s. d. Exchequer Loan and Money repaid for building. 474 9 3 Clothing and Maintenance of Paupers in Workhouse. 403 1 11 JE87711 2 OUT-DOOR DEPARTMENT.

Id. or 6s. per week; cost of working in-door machinery, 1117 i per cwt.; cost of working out-door do. 11 per cwt. A few days since a meeting was held at the Tabernacle Chapel, Aberystwith, for the purpose of Discharging the debt of the Chapel, and for building a School House, in connexion with it. The collection made on the occasion amounted to upwards of E800. SWANSEA.—As Mr. Ward was leading his horse down a hill the carriage coming against the animal's hocks made him take fright; the pheeton was dashed to pieces, but Mrs. Ward, who was in it, was not at all hurt. There's still a good deal of bother about the bill, the anti-bill petitioners, and all that.-Mesmerism has been amusing the scientific; a Foolometer was wanted. -The Cambryrarian keeps itself to itself, and won't have nothing to do with the other journal; the latter has at last got a subject (roads) of which it knows some- thing, and on which its sayings are sensible enough, though not very smart or original either.-The water- works are in a swimming not a sinking state; so are the tiii-works, ditto lead, ditto copper.-The Com- missioners, in their Report, say-" It is important to observe, with reference to the Swansea district, that between that town and Llanelly four tolls are paid on eleven miles of road, two to the Swansea Trust, one at Loughor Bridge, and one at the Kidwelly Trust. The trustees had been deterred from any attempt to diminish the amount of this acknowledged pressure by consider- ations which were stated to us by Mr. Vivian." Mr. Vivian, however, distinctly enough said that any arrange- ment which would tend to reduce the tolls between Swansea and Llanelly, or between Swansea and Carmar- thenshire would certainly be an advantage to the country. GLAMORGANSHIRE QUARTER SESSIONS.—The Gene- ral Quarter Sessions for this county, were held in the town-hall, Cowbridge, on Tuesday last, before Dr. Nicholl. Amongst the county business done prelimi- nary to the trial of prisoners was the granting a rate of three farthings for the quarter ;-also a police-rate to raise the sum of JE664 on the Merthyr district-a rate to raise E303 15s. 9d. on the Newbridge district—a rate to raise E221 9s. lid. on the Ogmore district—a rate to raise E179 9s. 6id. on the Swansea district—a rate to raise £ 150 for the Merthyr stipendiary magis- trate district. It was resolved that Barristers only should have au- dience at Quarter Sessions, when 4 attended. It was also resolved that the fees for the future for each pro- secution should be-attorney E3 barristers El Is. barrister's clerk 2s. 6d.; and clerk of the peace El 6s. It was understood that when the debt due on Wych Tree Bridge was legally secured to the Swansea trust, the county would take the bridge provided it was in good repair. The prisoners were then tried :-MartAa Harries, of Swansea, aged 16, indicted for having stolen a gold breastpin, the property of Bartholomew John Josling, of Swansea, cabinet-maker, was found Guilty and sen- tenced to one calendar month imprisonment in Swansea house of correction—the first and last three days to be passed in solitude,-Anne Richards, of Swansea, aged 25, a singlewoman, charged with stealing a watch from the person of Henry Eaton, of Swansea, an attorney's clerk, of the value of two guineas, was found guilty and sentenced to three calendar months' imprisonment with hard labour in Swansea house of correction.—John Griffiths, aged 32, labourer, indicted for stealing coal, the property of Mr. Samuel Jenkins and Mr. Edward Browne, ot Swansea, was found Guilty; but recom- mended by the jury to the mercy of the court on account of his previous good character. Sentence- One month's imprisonment, with hard labour, in Swan- sea house Of COTrection.-Joh?t Evans, aged 21, labourer, indicted for stealing a hat at Llandilo-talybont, from William Williams, a servant at Llandremor-fawr. He was found Guilty and sentenced to two months' impri- sonment, with hard labour, at Swansea house of cor- rection-the first and last week to be in solitude.— William. Preest, aged 15, was found guilty of having stolen two cross turrets, value four-pence, the property of Mr. Culverhouse, of Swansea and sentenced to three weeks' imprisonment, with hard labour, in Swan- sea House of Correction, and to be once privately whipped.-Atine Thomas, of Swansea, single woman, was found guilty of having stolen eight pounds of bacon, the property of John Jeremy and sentenced to six weeks' imprisonment, with hard labour, in Swansea House of Correction.—John Ilowells, aged 29, carpen- ter, (a very old offender,) was found guilty of having stolen a waistcoat, from Stephen Jones, Garden-street, Swansea and sentenced to seven years' transportation. JVillam Thomas, aged 32, labourer, was found guilty of stealing a mare, value JE3, of the property of Jenkin Evans, of Llangevelach, and was sentenced to ten years' transportation. MERTHYR.—Three inquests were held here last week, before W. Davies, Esq., coroner; one on the body of Giles Williams, collier, aged 25, who was accidentally burnt to death on the night of the 3d instant, whilst in in a state of intemperance. Verdict-Accidental Death. -Another inquest was held on view of the body of Richard Davies, collier, aged 33, who died from injuries he received by a fall of rubbish in a level at Plymouth Iron Works. Verdict as before.-An inquest was also held on the body of William Thomas, aged 21, who died from injuries sustained from an explosion of fire damp at Plymouth Works. Verdict as before.-The teetotallers of Merthyr and neighbourhood held their annual festival at Dowlais on Monday last- Theinqucst held on the colliers killed by the slipping of the engine tender off the plates last week is adjourned to Thursday next; five unfortunately are dead already.-At our police Court on Wednesday, two men were committed for trial for stealing two fire stands.On Tuesday last, the drift boiler at Dowlais burst. It is not ex- actly known at present how many are killed; some say two others three. Puddlers and rollers are wanted at Rhymney and o her Iron Works on the hills. Should that be come general, an advance will inevitably take place. WELSH RAILWAY.—The talk about a railway from London to Hobb's Point, so as to bring the former place and the South of Ireland within a 15 hours rail-ing is of a rather ancient date. If the project should ever emerge from paper to even the formation of a company only, some surprise as well as satisfaction will be ac- knowledged. A railway of course-with or without traffic-would be the" rnakillJ" of Carmarthen nothing is required but the making of the rail, and it would cost next to nothing as there are no hills in the way, not a single mountain; all is as level as a bowling green. CAMBRIAN PROVIDENT INSTITUTION. [Advertise- ment.] During the last fifteen years the science of life assurance has made great progress in England and Scotland, and the more its merits are enquired into, the more rapid will be its advance among all classes in society. The inhabitants of the northern portion of the kingdom, have hitherto engaged the greatest share of the benefits accruing from life assurance, in consequence of having almost universally appreciated and supported the system upon which it is founded. The Ancient Britons, the natives of Cambria, are not inferior to the Scottish nation in habits of carefulness; they being proverbially known to be eminently provident, but hitherto no exertions have been made to establish for the Principality a life assurance association which should be directly applicable to that important portion of the united kingdom. The Cambrian Provident Institu- tion," has been created to supply this omission, and we hope that every Cambrian will consider it his duty to bestow upon it his support, and exert his influence to sustain it, as by so doing he will assist in the ameliora- tion of his native home. The preliminary advertise- ment of the Institution appears in another part of our paper, and to which we invite attention.

They give out twice the heat with half the fuel, and will burn ten hours without replenishing. Ten years' experience in churches, chapels, private dwellings, warehouses, and public offices fully confirm this statement. They cannot possibly explode or give out offensive gases, as many others do. They are adapted not only for warming the apartment in which they stand, but for the circulation of hot water to conservatories or any distant part of the building.—Orders addressed to Nott's Stove Company, 80, Great Queen's-street, Lincoln's Inn-fields, will be attended to.

ODD FELLOW'S FETE.—Last Monday was ^ffrand day with the Odd Fellows in Carmarthen. The W?a?her was magnificent, and the sun reflected with .?Stderable effect the varied hues of the costume, "hioh it is customary for the Odd Fellows to wear on si- ? "ar high-days and holidays, Some superfine folks ? sneered at the fancy dresses and processions which  t part and on^ a part of Odd-fellowship, forgetting ? the while the valuable objects sought to be attained ? y a club, or combination of men for their mutual J ?atage and support in sickness and distress. But to ?evolent mind even the procession with its showy ? ??paniments affords satisfaction, and also suggests r eCbons of the value of combination as well as .??olence, and of the provident habits which it is ?he object of all benefit clubs, properly so called, ?"?ate. To come down, however, to particulars, ?tn ""t-Mye?a of Monday last, the Odd Fellows of Berlin, Ancient Briton, and Vale of Towy Lodges, krr,larthen, made a magnificent display, went to t. ^ch in the morning, then dined at the Cooper's *?s, Old Ivy Bush, and Angel, the respective Lodge- ??t and had a glorious evening of it. V T"H METROPOLITAN POLICE.—Last Tuesday the re- II.i. llder of the London Police force stationed in the tj?y of Carmarthen left for the metropolis. In jus- t|c e to Inspector Tierney and the men under his com- u?, it is but right to state that the arduous duties at were exacted from them during their stay in Wales ^e Performed with much credit to themselves and jlt^action to the magistracy of the county. Without ? ??ledgp or the language or the country, the difficul- b' ,they had to contend with nay much more easily ty ??gined than described. There can be no doubt th *1 had the assistance of the London police been called in ? an earlier period, there would have been no occa- >i J\to baddle the county with the enormous expense -?ed by the establishment of the Rural Police force.
