PEMBROKESHIRE COUNTY ROADS BOARD.-The General Annual Meeting of the Members of the Pem- brokeshire Comity Roa d s Board, was held at the Shire- ball, Haverfordwest, on Thursday, the 13th instant. The following members were present:—J ohn Henry Philipps, Esq., Chairman James Higgon, J. P. A. Li. Philipps, James Griffiths, Nicholas lioch, George Roch, Robert Brough, Richard Ormond, Esqrs., and Lieut.- 'Col. Wortliati), General Superintendant. The Cierk reported that the Right Hon. Earl Cawdor was, at the General Quarter Sessions for the County of Pembroke, held on the 17th of October, 1848, elected a member of this Board, in the place of II. D. Ackland, Esq., who had become disqualified through non-attendance. The Clerk also reported that the Clerk to the District Road Boards had notified to him the election by those Boards the following gentlemen, to serve as members of this Board for the present year:—Narberth District—Mr. Ichard Ormond and Mr. Robert Brough. Haverford- ?est District—The Rev. Thos. Martin and James Esq. The abstract of the Treasurer's Account, fro^^ °? December, 1817, to the 31st of Decem- ber is^'Was examined and audited, and a balance of £ 78 lq >» L7 8 99, ?' found to be due from the Treasurer to the Boa And it was ordered that the Clerk cause the ame WIth the vouchers for the year 1848 to be bound toO'(' I\¡ 'h k ?c'her in p,,? ?,?? and that he keep the book thus Allied, open for inspection, as directed by the 7 1 st ?-oftheS.uth Wales Turnpike Act. The General ?Permtend.tnt subuiiu.-d to the meeting a statement of the receipts and expenditure for the year ending the 31 st December, 18-48. and an estimate for the year ending the 31st of December, 1849, and upon his recommendation it was ordered that the sum of fi19 should be placed at the disposal of the Haverfordwest District Board, and the sum of £G98 lGs. at the disposal of the Narberth District Board, for the repair and maintenance of tlif, toll-liouses, anti gates, within their respective districts, for the year 1849, and that, Unless otherwise ordered at future meetings of the fioard, one-fourth part of those sums to be carried to the credit of the respective Boards, in their account With the Treasurer at each of the following dates :-Ist "f January, 1st of April, 1st of July, and 1st of October, 1849; and also, that an additional sum of E50 be placed at the disposal of each of the said District Boards, for the purpose of erecting milestones, finger-posts, and -aking stone depots. By the estimate submitted by the General Superintendant, it appeared that a sum of £ 804 1,5s. 2d. would be required from the county in aid of the County Road Fund for the present year, and a certificate, according to the provisions of the 95th clause of the South Wales Turnpike Act, was signed by the chairman and directed to be transmitted to the Clerk of the Peace of the County of Pembroke, stating that that sum would be required to be raised by a County Rate. The Clerk stated that as the next Quarter Sessions for the County of Pembroke would not be held until April next, the County Road Rate could not be received until May. It was therefore ordered that a request be made to the treasurer to advance the half- year's annuity, which will become due to the Public Works' Loan Commissioners on the 25th of March next, and that interest be paid him for making such advance. J. H. Philipps, Esq., having at the last meeting resigned the office of Chairman of the Board in consequence of his election as Chairman of the Court of Quarter Ses- sions, several members expressed their regret at his having taken this step, and hoped he would still con- tinue to render the Board his able assistance in the capacity of their chairman, and after some conversation, it was proposed by Geo. Roch, Esq., and seconded by J. P. A. P Philipps, Esq., that he be re-elected, which proposition was carried unanimously. It was ordered that a renewed application be made by the Clerk to the next Court of .Quarter Sessions, for an annual com- position of £ 100, to -be made by the County to this Board, for repairing and keeping in repair the portion of turnpike road over and at each end of the several County Bridges now repaired by the County, and that an explanation be given of the grounds upon which that estimate was made; and in the event of the Court refusing the application, the Board would be willing to accept a sum of 1:84 in lieu of the aforesaid sum of £ 100, thereby deducting seventy pounds, the amount included for putting the road way into present repair. The report of the committee appointed to investigate the charges prefei-re-d against James James the surveyor of the Northern Division of the Haverfordwest District having been read, from which it appeared that he had in two instances given incorrect certificates of stones supplied on the road; and he having, at the recommen- dation of the Board, tendered the resignation of his "Ituation it was ordered that such resignation be accepted. The General Superintendant recommended that the whole of the roads in the county should be Placed under the control of one surveyor, and he sug- gested that Mr. Thomas, the present surveyor, should take charge of the district hitherto under the surveil- lance of Mr Jones, and that his salary should he lncreased from £ 90 to £ 12-5 per annum. In compliance With that recommendation, Mr. Thomas was appointed It as also considered that Jas. James would be of great assistance to Mr. Thomas for a short time, and in consideration of his affording that assistance for two onths, he was ordered to be paid E-1 4s. as a remunera- on for his services. It was then directed that the tolls be let at the next letting for 15 months, and after that time, from the 31st of December to 31st of December yearly- A proper fence for the protection of the public Was ordered to be erected round the Treffgarne Quarry, ? the Fishguard road undor the direction of the "'1.Ve f d for d iv t District Board.

I the prospects of Mr. Pryse continue to improve here, n'u\ no doubts are entertained by his Committee of 1;tÏ¡Uqle success. Having alluded to tile Coliiiiiiitee, an act of justice due to those gentlemen to lite a (-alt4rlljy iviiieh appeare d in the columns of a c'temporary of last week, though the paragraph in II Ilich it was cunveved was evidently written at Aberyst- It alleges that upon the refusal of the Hun.

It ;1\ be further stated that so utterly disgusted are Pryse's professional agents at Aberystwiih, ;>t the total absence of all right, and justice in the Aberaviou Junta in forcing Mr. Harford again to come forwurd and destroy the peace of the Cardiganshire Boroughs, that in assisting Mr. Pryse to defeat the conspiracy against him, they are also giving their professional services gratuitously. "Rapacious few," indeed! Can the attorneys of Mr. Harford's Committees say that they are acting gratuitonsly--that there are no "rapacious few among them—no hundred pounds retainers, &c. In your advertising columns will be found Mr. Pryse's reply to some rambling charges published here accusing him of favouring a grant of the public money to the Roman Catholics and also of being an enemy to the shipping interest. To both the charges Mr. Pryse replies with a contemptuous No." This short way of dealing with the Tory charges is anything but plea- sant to the uble array," alld some of them have, it is said, entered into a solemn league and covenant" never to dine at Gogerddan or Peithill again, never to I make uso r»f dr. I'ryse s larder and wine cellar as their own er !.i s uiot or ush on his lands, or follow his houuus r.ii'ii'd on Jus horses, mares or geldings, or in fact net er agnin to make use of Mr. Pryse's Veal and personal property. But to be more serious. The con- duct of a few of the gentry and clergy of the neighbour- hood has been the theme of considerable remark amongst the Abcrystwtth constituents, who are too unsophis- ticated to perceive how an action may not be very immoral and yet very genteel. These few have raised a war-whoop against the eldest son of a deceased gentle- man whose remains they so lately followed to the grave, and call upon a stranger from Bristol to fill his place and the only two charges they have ventured to make are about the catholics and shipping interest. Those two charges Mr. Pryse positively denies would it not have been more generous to have put these questions to him before the Aberayron meeting, than to have sent them forth to the world as truths. In our impression of last week, the services of the Honourable George Lawrence Vaughan to the Liberal cause was not so prominently as they deserve. Not only has he contributed liberally towards the ex- pense of the contest, but exerted all his influence by canvassins: and otherwise, to secure the return of Mr. Pryse. On Thursday he was out all day with Mr. Pryse's committee canvassing the Aberystwyth constituency, and both by the cogency of his arguments and the suavity of his miiuuers, gave a decided heave- ahead to the cause. During the early part of the week, Capt. Pryse was indefatigable in the Committee Room, as well as in the canvass, and shewed that he was heart and soul in his brother's cause. Mr. Pryse having been absent during the best part of last week, can- vassing the lower part of the county, it was expected he would enter Aberystwith on Saturday, and an immense number of the inhabitants were waiting in all the avenues expecting to cheer him on his return, and great was the disappointment at his non-arrival. However, on Monday, (having arrived at Gogerddan, in the mean- time, it was intimated that he would shortly visit Aher I ystwith which was no sooner understood, than there was a movement from all quarters of the town towards the North Turnpike Gate. Several flags belonging to vessels sta; tioned in the harbour were carried by the mariners of the port, who are with him "uue and all, and offer a practical refutation of the Tory calumny that Mr. Pryse is not a friend of the shipping interest when he was seen coming down Rhiw Glais on horse-back, the interest felt by the dense crowd was extreme, and vivas so loud that nothing but the great docility of the gallant grey could have saved many of the urchins who were constantly between his legs. Mr. Pryse repeatedly cautioned the embryo electors in W elsh to take care of the ceflil. Never minú us sir replied one of them, the ceflil glas cites (the beautiful grey horse), will do us no harm as we are all on the same side as he is. Mr. Pryse came to the town much earlier on Tuesday than he had promised, and entered his Com- mittee Room, and immediately proceeded to business. Early in the forenoon, accompanied by the principal members of the committee and several friends from the neighbourhood, he called upon the electors at their re- sidences, and the result of this canvass was most flattering. ABERYSTWITH, TiiuusrAY.—The friends of Mr. Pryse have been gaining ground rapidly here from the first, and the accounts from the other Boroughs were looking brighter every day, when some i technical objections have been started as to the list of j voters, which may have the effect of postponing the election until next October or November but as counsel's opinion upon the point will not be received till next week, the constituencies here are in intense suspense. On Tuesday night, the lead coffins enclosing the bodies of Mrs. Elizabeth Clarence, (the unfortunateWife of the Captain oi the brig Agnes Lee, which was wrecked on Cardigan Bar last week) and her infant child, were brought to Carmarthen by the Cardigan carrier, and shipped for Bristol by tilo- Torrid;;e steamer, en route for Shields. CHARGE OF IIOBB~;IY AT CAUPIGAX. — On Thurs- day, the 18th instant, Mary Griffiths was brought before Charles Arthur Prichard, David Davies, and William Buck, Esqrs., having been remanded from a former day, charged with stealing a large quantity of bedding from the residence of Captain Jenkins, of Penrailt, in the paiish of Aberporth, Cardiganshire. The evidence was fully gone into, and the prisoner was committed for trial at the ensuing assizes. III con- sequence of some very suspicious circumstances attend- ing the case, two of the witnesses were bound over in heavy recognizances with sureties to appear, and the requisite bail having been entered into, the persons in questions were permitted to depart. BIRTH 05. TRIPLFT.S.—On Saturday, the 20th inst. Margaret Peter, a pauper, of the parish of Pembryn, gave birth to three children, two boys and a girl. The mother and children received the kindest attention from Mr. James Thomas, of Newcastle Emlyn, who was the accoucheur on the occasion. Atthough the poor woman was in a state of extreme destitution, being wholly unprovided with the necessary clothing, yet we are happy to state that she and her progeny are procceùing most favourably.

GLAMORGANSHIRE. COACH Ac('IDI,'N-T.-All accident oceitrrc,l r)n qun(lay morning last in connexion with the mail coach running between Swansea and Bristol, which ought to operate as a caution to all ostlers and attendants upon coaches, The mail, as usual, had been brought opposite the Coach-office, in Wind-street, Swansea, previous to starting from thence towards Bristol, and no sooner had the town clock struck six (the unnl hour for leaving than off the animals started at full pace, before the coachman had mounted the or the guard taken his seat. Of course there was no person at the liol-ses, heads or the accident would not have occurred. The coach proceeded through Castle-street and High-street with as much precision as though there had been an experienced whip" on the box. The horses c.osred the town without coming in collision with .nytuinsi, and passed through the Havod gate, which (as is customarv) had been left open for the coach. It was not until the horses had reached MornVon—a distance of three miles-that anything occurred to arrest their progress. Here the coach was upset by coming in contact with the bridge. Fortunately there were no passengers in the vehicle, and consequently no in- jury was sustained beyond the damage done to the coach, and to some of the horses, which were injured to some extent THE LATF, DISPTTE BETWEEN THE 1.GRD CIIAN- CELLOn. All) THE Bisnor OF LLANDAVE. 1 he dis- pute which it will be recollected took place between the Lord Chancellor and the Bishop of Llandaff, relative to the presentation of a clergyman, said to be a relative of Lord Cottenham, to a benefice in the Bishop's dio- cese, has been for the present settled, although there are circumstances connected with the matter which will in all probability ere long re-open the controversy. The rectories of Lldnilid and Llanharan, it will be re- membered, became vacant in the early part of last year by the death of the Rev. Dr. Griiffths, and in dne course the Lord Chancellor nominated as the new incumbent the Rev. II. Sampson, M.A., Vicar (if Cudhain, Kent. The Bishop of Llandaff refused to institute Mr. Sampson, as the rev. gentleman proved to be utterly ignorant of t'tie Welsh language. The Lord Chancellor, after a protracted discussion with the bishop, withdrew his nomination of Mr. Sampson, and on the recommendation of Sir J. Guest, presented the i Rev. Thomas Morgan Davis, M.A., Fellow of Jesus College, Oxford, to the livings. As Mr. Davis is a native of Wales, and thoroughly acquainted with the language of the country, the Bishop of Llandaff made no objection to the nomination, and instituted the rev. gentleman forthwith. A difficulty of a somewhat dif- ferent character has arisen, The Bishop of London has called upon Mr. Davis to proceed at once to one of the colonies in the capacity of a missionary, inasmuch as the Fellowship of Jesus College, which lie has held for some years, and which he has expressed his deter- mination to retain, was founded for the express pur- pose of providing for the support of a missionary abroad. Mr. Davis positively refuses to proceed to the colonies, and, oil the other hand, the Bishop of Lonaon has resolved to bring the question to an issue. Mi, Davis, it appears, held the curacy of Ramsajate, but was removed from it in consequence of the representations of thc Bishop of London. Almost immediately after- wards he obtained a naval chaplaincy, but when the facts of his connexion with the Oxford fellowship were made known to Lord Auckland, the appointment. was cancelled. The gentleman who stands next for the fel- lowship in case of Ir. Davis's removal or 1 csignation, is Mr. Ilowel Edwards, B. A., of Jesus College, who has intimated his intention of proceeding to the colonies on being put in possession of the emoluments Ihe case has created considerable interest at Oxford, and the result is looked forwaid to with much anxiety. SUDDEN DEATH.—On Monday evening, a trawiling iclassb lower, whose name cou ld not be ascertai ned, en- tered the White Lion public house, Neath, and after amusing the company by blowing glass pipes, &c.. requested the landlady to allow him to sleep on the "settle" during the night, a request which was com- plied with. On the inmates coming down slabs ill tile morning, thev found the poor fellow cold and lifeless. He appeared to have been in good health, and was perfectly soner on the previous evening. An inquest, was hel;ll1p"'D. view o; t body before A. Cut ;¡ icon Esq and a '.l'rrl1c:J, f),cu bv tLc Visitation of (7. 0" was returned.

V¡CE-CIIA:\CELr.O¡,'s COURT, TUESDAY, JAN. 23.— Before Sir J. Wigram.—Evans v. Prothero. This case, which has been severii times before the court, and in which the subject in dispute is a cottage of small value in Glamorganshire, came on for further directions, after the trial of an issue at the assizes for Glamorgan, and the finding of the jury that the plaintiff was the pur- chaser of the cottage in question. There had been three actions of ejectment before the bill was tiled, and two subsequently. The Solicitor-General (with whom was Mr. W. M. James) asked for the decree of the court, declaring that tiie plaintiff was entitled to speci- fic performance of his contract; that Richards,the de- fendant ill whom the legal estate was vested, might be decreed to convey the property to the that the injllnction against further proceedings at law might be made perpetual, and the defendant ordered to pay the costs of the suit, of the trial of the issue, (,f the actions at law, and of the motion f(ir a z-.eiv ti,iul of the issne which had been refused. Mr. Walker opposed the claim to costs, on the ground that the bill had asked other re- lief in addition to that of specific performance, which the plaintitIdirl not now require. The Vice-Chancellor made the decree in the form asked for by the counsel for the plain till. -U_ THE BRECON MURDER.—The Secretary of State has declined to exercise the privilege of the Crown in the removal of James Griffiths, otherwise Thomas Williams, from Ipswich to Brecon; consequently he must undergo the month's imprisonment for stealing the cake, at the expiration of which time he will be apprehended on the most serious and awful charge that can be brought against any one, and transferred t,) Brecon.

J Bank St 0 ek 1921 India Bonds 100 J — Consols for Op S9| FRANCE.—The accounts from Paris repeat the oft- told tale of the growing dissatisfaction at the way in which the public affairs of that country are conducted. There is a want of stability and confidence which no- thing but a Government founded upon the affections of the people can produce Ilence schemes and plots to overturn each succeeding Cabinet are of frequent occur- rence. At the present moment, it is well known that the Ministry and the National Assembly do not work together; and while the latter are endeavouring to oust those in power, the former will not yield to any vote which may be passed by that body against their mea- sures, upon the ground that it sits in opposition to the declared wishes of the country. Such is the strug- gle now going on between the Assembly and the Go- vernment, which cannot fail of proving greatly in- jurious to all classes of the community. The debate on the project of law for trying the prisoners of Vincennes, before a high Court of Commission at Botirges, was re- sumed oil Monday, M. Bonjean, M. Dupin, M. Bouker, M. Cremieux, and M. Odillon Barrot, took part in the discussion. The latter expressed regret that any oppo- sition had been made to the Government proposition, because it cast a slur upon the Constitution from which it proceeded. Besides which he maintained that minis- ters had a right to select the tribunal at which con- spirators should be tried—a rule which had always been exercised with sound discretion, and without detracting, in the least degree, from the pure administration of justice; thereby securing the prisoners, at the same time, from all partiality or prejudice. M. J. Favre opposed the bill, and contended that the Court would be considered a political institution by the people of France, from which a just verdict could not be expected. The question was then put to tiie vote, when there appeared —For it, 468; against it, 288. The Government pro- position was, therefore, carried by a majority of 180. It was then agreed that the National High Court of Justice shall meet at Bourges in -10 days aiter the pre- sent bill is promulgated. The election for Colonel of the Second Legion of the National Guard of lhc bun/icu terminated in favour of M. Napoleon Bonaparte, the son of the ex-King of West- phalia. He had 3,9G'2 votes, 31. Milchel, 1,9,31, and Barber only 137. The Paris papers of Monday arc again occupied with the expedition preparing at Toulon. The National announces that the intervention of Sardinia and Spain has been rejected by the l'ope, who has demanded that of Austria. The Credit states that the expedition is to proceed immediately to Civita Vecchia. AUSTRIA.—We learn from Kremsier that MM. Bach and Stadion had resigned their offices in the Austrian Cabinet, the President of the Council having determined to tile Diet. PRUSSIA.—It was rumoured at Berlin 011 the 13th, that Count Brandenburg had given up his l'reuiier- ship, and that M. Camphausen had been called upon to fill the vacant post, but the statement stands in need of confirmation. At Dusseldorif the state of siege has been. C His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Orange arrived at Blackwall on Sunday last, by the General Steam Navigation Company's mail steam-ship Ocean, from Scheveling.

Three labourers were killed on Saturday by the falling of a railway arch at Manchester BAIL COUUT, TUESDAY.—(Sittings in Banco,)—I N ItE JOHN EVANS.—Mr. Robinsou moved, on behalf of the Incorporated Law Society, for a rule to show cause why he should not be struck off the rolls, lie having been convicted of obtaining money under false pretences.

John Watson, butcher, Blackheath. The prisoner, who had given himself up to the police, made a voluntary con- fession of his guilt and was remanded. Silt Jous FRANKLIN'S; EXPEDITION.—We regret to announce, by accounts from \Ia7.atlan, under date Nov. 29, that Her Majesty's surveying ship Herald, 22, Capt. Kellett, had arrived at that port from Behring's Straits, without having been able to obtain any intelligence of the expedition under Sir John Franklin. DEATH or Mit. R. CADELL, THE PUBLISH ER OF SIR WALTER SCOTT'S WORKS.—We {Edinburgh Ere- mng Cour ant) sincerely regret to announce the death of Robert Cadell, Esq., the eminent publisher, which took place at liatho House, on Saturday, at half-past three o'clock. Mr. Cadell has for a long period carried on the business of a publisher in this city; first as a part- ner in the well-known firm of Constable and Co., and subsequently by hims<f. lie was a gentleman of the highest integrity and honour in his profession, and a most patriotic and public spirited citizen. TIIE BRIGADIER GENERAL CHARLES ROBERT CUREUIN, C.B.—This gallant officer originally enlisted in the IHil lJraglwus, in luOK, as a private, under the assumed name of Roberts. He immediately piocceded to the Peninsula with his regiment, and served to the I close of the war, and was engaged in the battles of TaI.tvera, Busaco, Fuentes, d'ünor, aud the siege of Badajos. in April, lSU; at the battle of Salamanca, capture of Madrid, the battles of Vittona, Orthes, Tarbes, and Toulouse. During those hard-fought en- gagements the brave private and non-commissioned officer did not escaped unscathed, as lie was al.vays in the hottest of the fray, and owed his future advance- ment entirely to his gallantry. He was wounded in the right leg by a rifie ball on crossing the Mondego, near Cnimbra, October 1,1810; at the battle of Fuentes d'Onor in May, in the following year, be received a ¡ severe sabre cut on the head,and another on his rein hand. In February, 1X14, he was promoted to an ensigncy in the 141i 1 Dragoons, without purchase, in consideration of his gallant behaviour and serv ices. He subsequently proceeded to the Lust Indies, where he has been employed nearly 30 years. He served under General Viscount Combermere at the siege and capture of Bhurtpore in 182o-i5, and there displayed his usual courage and ability,having attained the rack of captain, by purchase, in the first mentioned year. Colonel Curetou remained in India, employed in the routine duties, up to tiie breaking out of the war in the Punjaub iu the autumn of 1845, when he was called upon to take active servic" with the armies which achieved the glorious victories of ferozeshah, Aliwal, and Sobraon. He did not share in the glories of the first named battle, but in tfie two latter he was in com- mand of the cavalry corps.

IHE DEATHS OF PAUPER CHILDREN AT TOOTING. —The inquests held by Mr. Waklev upon the bodies of the pauper childieu who died frum cholera in the Pauper Asylum at Tooting, kpp: by Mr. Drouet, terminated Oil Tuesday night. The disclosures of neglect and ill- treatment, wire shameful in the extreme. The jury retired at a quarter before ten o'clock, to consider their verdict, Mr. SY akley's address to them having occupied nearly two hours and three-quarters in its delivery. At a quarter before eleven o'clock the jury communicated their wish to consult with the coroner. The lion, gen- ) tleman immediately left the room, and remained in conference for a very short time. The jury returned at a few minutes before eleven o'clock, and the foreman delivered the following verdict, the names of the jury having been first called over. We, the jury, impanelled to inquire touching the death of James Andrews, unanimously agree to the following verdictThat Bar- tholomew Peter Drouet is guilty of Manslaughter; and we beg to add, as a rider to that verdict, that the guar- dians of the Holborn union acted most negligently in their engagements with Mr. Drouet, also in their visits to his establishment; and we regret that the Poor Law Act is quite insufficient for the purposes for which it was intended; and we hope that the time is not far distant when the necessity for such establishments as that of Mr. Drouet will entirely cease." Upon the verdict being given, the Coroner said, is Mr. Drouet here? Tell him he is in custody. The Constable.—He is not here, sir. The Coroner.—How do you know that ? Go and search for him. The constable* retired, but did not find Mr. Drouet. The Coroner here observed—I think in a case of this kind I should flinch from my duty it I were to refrain from expressing my opinion "that' your verdict is strictly just; and if I had been a juryman my verdict would have been the same (cheers). The Fore- man begged to state that it was the unanimous opinion of the jury that Mr. Winch had done his duty as far as lay in his power, in bringing this case before the coroner. Strangers were ordered to withdraw. The Constable made inquiries for Mr. Drouet, but he was not to be found. The proceedings, in reference to the public, were closed at about a quarter past eleven o'clock, the jury remaining to sign the record of the verdict. AN INCENDIARY SHOT.—One Saturday two men named Stevens and Smith, were brought up for exami- nation, before the justices of Cobham, Surrey, on the charge of having caused the incendiary fires that have occurred in that locality. Lord Vaux deposed that whilst at dinner, between 6 and 7 o'clock on the night of the 4th inst., he was informed by one of his servants that there was a fire about a mile distant he went out, taking with him a double-barrel gun, in consequence of observing the bad disposition of the people at a fire the night previous. He found the fire to be at Mr. Ilobb's. On his return from it, he saw the fire break out on his own premises. He saw a man, and called out to hiru four or five times to stop, but he would not, and lie then fired at his heels, thinking that he would do so, and having called out a second time, exclaiming, By G- he would shoot him if he did not stop," he fired a second time, being then between 30 and 40 vards from him. lie, however, still kept ou, and he lost sight of him. He could not recognise him. Smith stated on Thursday, the 4th instant, that Stevens came to him about half-past five, and asked him to go with him to a "flare up." He left his house with him at a quarter to six they went up Mr. Hale's field to Mr. Ilobb's, when Stevens set fire to a barn with a lucifer match they then went to another field of Mr. Newman, across Lord Vaux's park at the corner, over a gap into the turnip field, down the hedge by the side of the road leading to Cobham. They stopped near a gate, and not seeing anybody Stevens set tire to the barn. Stevens jumped into the road, and turned about two yards to the right, and then he supposed he saw Lord Vaux, when he turned back and ran towards the heath, when his lordship said, Stand, or I will shoot you dead if you do not." Stevens did not, however, stop, and he heard the report of a gun, and knew by the voice that it was Lord Vaux who had spoken. Stephens still kept Oil 1 unning, and his lordship, in the same direction, called out again, Stand, or I will shoot you dead." He heard the report a second time, but Stevens still kept running. lIe iost sight of Stevens and his lord- ship he then jumped into the road and got home. The magistrates at this stage of the proceedings retired and after an absence of some time they returned, and stated that Stevens had made a full confession of the whole of the fires, and added that 011 the night of Lord Vaux's and Mr. Hobo's fires it was the intention of himself and Sti-itti to have three otlier,-viz., two at Mr. Gude's and one at Mr. It. Lee's—had Stevens not been shot. Both the prisoners were fully committed for trial at the next assizes, and Stevens was removed in a fly shortly afterwards, by Mr. Ritchie, the Governor of the Kingston House of Correction. GovynNL,sf,s' ball was given on Tuesday night, at the Hanover-square Rooms.London,in order to augment a fund, the basis of which has been formed by several influential and distinguished individuals, for the purpose of securing an annuity to the foundress of the institution. It Ilnfur. tunately happens that the lady in question,a Miss Jane Tucker, needs this assistance, for although it is to her th It the Governesses' Institution owes its origin—that she conceived and digested all its details of operation long before they took a practical and available shape- and that for years she was busily engaged in the slow and laborious work of soliciting and consolidating sym- pathy,she is now dependent for her support upon the eleemosynary assistance of a few casual friends. The committee have published the report of a meeting recently held at the house of the treasurer of the insti- tution, wherein the history of this amiaMe and excui- plaiy lady is set fn: th, coupled with such tributes of eulogistic respect as this extraordinary instance of self- denying diligence in a good and pious object would natuially suggest. The Governesses' Benevolent Insti- tution has now become firmly established, and, we need hatdiy remark, is proving a daily source of blessing to those %vlio, witll()Iit its shelter and maintenance, might at this moment be suffering the sharpest pangs of des- titution the more bitter because of the contention with the remembrances of bygone affluence, domestic enjoy- ments,of family affections, of early hopes — now, alas, s.t-ittered for ever Many have been rescued from this hy the patient and earnest perseverance of the venerable lady whose case now pleads for the humane consideration of the community. Let those therefore of her own sex vve.ose lot was Vnt of the poor governess, but who, t.irough the ace.dents of fortune, have exchanged it for tiie happnr and mote consolatory conditions of life, more particularly remember the benefactor that was secietij toiling for their welfare in her days of health and st length, and co-operate with the committee iu the pn. sent work of gratitude and charitv. The ball was preceded by a concert, in which Miss Bassano, Mddle. isspn, Miss Rainsforth, Mr. Sims Reeves, Mr. Bodtia, and I iss Kate Loder, took part. This delayed the d,,ii)(! i n, until dancing until an unseasonable hour, but the company graduaily arrived the while, and by the time the ball A' •'e Wi,s a considerable attendance of visitors. A:1 the immediate friends of the institution were pre- sent, juc tiding of course Luke Hansard, who has, ever since its commencement, taken the warmest interest it¡ it:) fr°?IC;,S| ilUl^ strengthened its resources most li? -icrallv \,ith his Nil i-.ira y with his purse. We' make no doubt that the reunion passed off with great eclat, and we trust that tiH lesu ts were satisfactory to the stewards under w hose auspices it was promoted and carried out. llow TO GE" A DINNER.—List week, a gentleman went to Coventry by railway, and put up at the King's lleau Inn. \> hen snugly seated in the commercial- room,with the good things of this world before hill1- including a fine piece of beef, about lOlbs weight—it was seen by a man with a keen appetite, who, watching his opportunity, opened t.he door very slowly with Beg pardon, sir," and drew back again. lie shortly re- turned to the charge, saying Have you done with the beef, s'r ? May I take it away ?" Oil, yes, take it away," said the gentleman, who had just fortified his inner man, and was unwilling to withhold from any feliow-travell'u" the means of doing the same. The beet was t ik TI out of the room, and the dish left on the mat at the dour. After a little while the bell rung for the waiter to clear the table, who, with a puzzled coun- tenance, inquired, here 's the beef, sir ?" The gentleman replied, Tu. master has taken it." The master was called. jfe is not the person," said the traveller. It was then discovered that some hungry conveyancer." having no connection with the pre- mises, had taken advantage of the absence of the waiter, and can it d otf tht. meat.

THE SUICIDE AT CRYSGOEIJ -On Wednesday, the lilh instant, an inquest was held before W. Bonviile, Esq., upon view of the body of Mr. Itichard Edwards, of Cryngoed, in the parish of Llangendeirne, a very res- pectable farmer and in good circumstances, who com- mitted suicide the day before by hanging himself in his stable by a plough line fastened to the tie beam, which circumstance we briefly alluded to in our last publica- tion. It appeared by the evidence that the deceased had been subject to fits of melancholy some years ago, hut not lately and from the evidence of his man and maid-servant, that he had been ailing the day before, and that he complained of pains in his back and head, but no reason whatever was assigned for committing the rash act, and the jury therefore returned a verdict of" suicide while in a fit of temporary insanity."
