SINGULAR CIRCUMSTANCE.—A short time since, a calf belonging to Mr. Stephen Evans, of Cilcnrw, near Pontvberem, was slaughtered, and upon being anatom- atized the blade of a penknife was discovered embedded in an excrescence of fleshy matter within the sto- mach. It had evidentally been there for a considerable time as the flesh had completely grown over and enclosed it. The singularity of the affair is not di- minished by the knowledge that the calf was never ailing. INQUESTS.—An inquest was held on Monday last, before W. Bonville, Esq., at Coed Adam, in the parish of Llangcndeirne, on the body of Evan Richards, aged 15 years, a farm servant in the employ of Mr. Thomas Peregrine, who hanged himself on Saturday last in the hay-loft above the cowhouse, by means of a rope used for fastening up the cows, and which he attached to a beam. There being no evidence to account for the rash act, the jury returned a verdict of temporary insanity." On the same day, an inquest was held by the same coroner on the body of Mrs Anne Morris, of the New Inn public house, in the parish of Llanedy, who had been in respectable circumstances. It appeared from the evidence of a sempstress, who was at that time working for the deceased, that last Friday night, witness was lighting the deceased down stairs from her workroom, and when deceased reached the second step, she suddenly fell as if in a fit, and rolling down the stairs to the kitchen floor, was taken up speechless. It was discovered that blood was issuing from her nos- trils and ears, and that her collar bone was broken. Medical assistance was promptly rendered, but it proved of no avail, as the ill-fated woman survived the accident only a short time, and did not speak afterwards. The jury returned a verdict of "died from concussion of the brain." On the following day, an inquest was held by the same gentleman, at Llanelly, on the body of Mary Anne Howells, an infant, a natural daughter of Mr. William Howells, of that place, who was, on the previous morning unfortunately choked by a piece of bread sticking in her throat, while partaking of some bread and broth at dinner. She expired before any medical aid could be procured. The jury returned a verdict accordingly. 'o.r-

PEMBROKESHIRE. The Sheriff of Pembrokeshire has appointed Arthur Lort Phillips, Esq., of Basinghall-street, London, to be his Deputy. The acting Deputy is Thos. Gwynne, Esq., Haverfordwest. PEMBROKE ROYAL DOCK YARD.—On Saturday last, the Captain Superintendent and officers of the yard mustered the workmen of the above establishment pre- paratory to a reduction being made. Upwards of 100 workmen of all grades were picked out by the officers as entitled to superannuation. P A TER.-A Tea Meeting in behalf of the school be- longing to the Wesleyan Chapel took place on Tuesday last, in the school-room of the chapel, which was nume- rously attended; after tea the meeting was addressed by several gentlemen belonging to the connexion. It is understood the proceeds were very liberal. HAVERFORDWEST LITERARY AND SCIENTIFIC IN- STITUTlON'On Monday evening last, Mr. Jas. Saies delivered a lecture to the members of this institution at their rooms, in Victoria Place, the subject le age of England's escape from Barbarism. The lec- turer embraced a very interesting account of the pri- mitive state of the inhabitants of Great Britain, at the time of its invasion by Julius Cffisar, their habits, dress, and state of the country, down to the Norman conquest, which shook the whole fabric, and prepared the way for the succeeding age of civilization. At the conclusion of the lecture, which was listened to with much atten- tion, a vote of thanks was unanimously given to Mr. Saies. _M

HAVERFORDWEST PETTY SESSIONS. On Wednesday last a Petty Sessions was held at the Shire-hall, before James Owen, Esq., Mayor, the Rev. Thos. Martin, and Wm. Walters, Esq. H. E. Pyne v. James Thoinas.-This was an iriforma- tion laid by the complainant as sergeant of police, against the defendant for kicking foot-ball on Shrove Tuesday last, through the public streets of the town, contrary to the provisions of the Gas act. Wm. Williams, being examined, said :-1 am a police constable, and was on duty on Shrove Tuesday. I know defendant, who is a painter. I saw him in Shut Street on that day there was a large number of persons kicking foot-ball there. I saw defendant run after the ball and kick it. He went after the ball, and joined in the sport, and continued doing so for 10 minutes or a quarter of an hour. Defendant offered no defence, and was fined 6d. with 6s. 6d. costs. Same v. James Evans.—A similar charge was pre- ferred in this case, Mr. Cozens appearing for the de- fendant. Wm. Williams, police constable, ectmined, deposed as follows — I was on duty on Shrove Tuesday last. I know defendant, who is a cork cutter. I saw him in Shut-street, that day, kicking the ball. He followed it along with the others, and continued kicking it. I was there all the time. I was walking about and told him to "drop it." I told him it was forbidden to kick. Cross-examined by Mr. Cozens:—I saw him in Shut- street about half-past 11 or a quarter to 12 o'clock. I saw him for about three quarters of an hour afterwards. On behalf of the defendant, Mary Rogers was called. She said :—I am the wife of T. Rogers, cork cutter. Defendant is a journeyman with my husband. On Shrove Tuesday defendant was at work with my hus- band. He came to his work at day-light in the morning and left at one in the afternoon. He was there all the time, save at half-past eight he went to breakfast, and returned at 9 o'clock, and from that time until one o'clock he continued at his work. The case was dismissed, not as their worships ob- served, from any moral doubt entertained by them of the defendant's guilt, for of that they felt satisfied, but because Williams, the constable had evidently mistaken the time when he saw the offence committed. Same v. Thomas Bowen.-A similar information was made against this defendant, who appeared by Mr. Cozens The offence being proved, he was fined 6d. and 6s. 6d. costs. Same v. John Bowen, for the like offence. 'This case was withdrawn, in consequence of an error in the information. Same v. John Harries and Thos. Edwards, for like offences. The defendants pleaded guilty, and were each fined Cd. and costs. ,v-vv,VJVV' ,r.J. 'V"¿'

Thev were received with the greatest a a lity by Mrs. Pryse and other branches of the family, and were requested to sing some of their favounte hymns, which they did with great spirit and taste, lea was ordered in the hall with an ad libitum supply of bread and butter, with plenty of pressing and kind words from the lady of the house and her friends and servants; hut sooth to say the urchins required very little pressing, as the length of their walk made them pretty sharp-set. Mrs. Pryse made many kind enqui- ries as to the studies pursued in the school, and kindly promised to be present at the next examination with some prizes for the most proficient in the different departments of study. When this was announced and it was thoroughly understood that Mrs. Pryse, of Goger- ddan, was to be present herself at the next examination, the chuckling and crowing amongst the young group was most delightful to witness. The expressions of delight was sotto voce while in the hall, but the instant the lawn was gained and the green lanes of ?

CARDIGAN LIFF. BOAT.-The most active exertions are being made in this town by the honorary officers and committee appointed to carry out the project for the establishment of a Life Boat on this coast. On Tuesday, Capt. Steward, one ofstiie Government Super- ntendent.s, arrived in the town for the purpose of adopt- ing measures to carry the design into operation, ern- ciently. In a short time we trust to be able to inform our readers that this desideratum is accomplished. CARDIGANSHIRE MINES. I LEAD Olm jiiiCKNTLY SOL]) AT ABF.KYSTWI rit. I Minos. Tons. Amount.

Frederick Rowland Roberts, Esq., of the firm of James Hughes and Roberts, Solicitors of Aberystwith, has been appointed deputy-sheriff for the County of Car- digan, by H. Hoghton, Esq. VERY ACCOMMODATING.—On Monday last, two tramps called at the house of a clergyman who is known bv the whole country to be charitable to the full extent t-,i,; ineans if not a little mure. It was the old storv- not a penny to buy a bit of bread or pay for lodgings, and please your honour's reverence those precious beaks the p'lice and the Aberystwith magistrates have made a new law making it a crime to bes an honest penny, and you are clapped in Cardigan gaol for a month merely for doing nothing at all—at all." The clergyman during this appeal, was fathoming the depths of his capacious pockets for the purpose of seeking for ha -pence, but whether there were none to be had, it is but soothe to say he did not bring any to light, but instead of them he pulled out a shilling. Holding the coin in his hand, his head came to the rescue of his heart, and he was in the act of consigning the glittering treasure into its former place, possibly thinking of some poor sick parishioner for whom the shilling had been hoarded. One of the tramps seeing the struggle and unwilling that such good intentions on the part of the man of God should be frustrated, very condescendingly told him, please sir if you want change for that ere shilling I can give it you no, my friend, you will not" replied the clergyman, buttoning up his pocket, while at the same time he called one of his servants to go for a constable. It need scarcely be stated that the rascals did not wait for the servant's return, but decamped with all imaginable speed. This occurred about 10 miles south east of Aberystwith, and the fact was communicated to the writer by the clergyman himself. ABERYSTWITH.—HOUSE WARMING DINNER.—Mr. John Evans having taken the Talbot Hotel, his friends and neighbours on Tuesday week assembled together for the purpose of partaking of a dinner as a house warming on the occasion. About half-past 5 dinner was on the table, which together-with the wines, &c., reflected great credit on the establishment. The chair was ably filled by Capt. W. R. T. Powell, of Nanteos, with Mr. Thomas Wells, as an excellent croupier. Amongst the company present were Cornelius Powell, Esq., Nanteos, John Miller, Esq., Mayor of Aberyst- with, Josiah Berry, Esq., Charles Parry, Esq., James Davies, Esq., Aberystwith, &c., together with about 35 of the principal gentlemen and tradesmen of Aberyst- with. The usual loyal and patriotic toasts were given by the chairman and others and duly honoured. The health of the landlord Mr. Evans was drank, and success to him in his undertaking was heartily wished. Several other local toasts were given and duly responded to. The party did not break up till a late hour the whole evening having been passed in the greatest harmony and good fellowship. REFRACTORY PAUPERs.-At a Petty Sessions held for the borough of Cardigan on Wednesday last, before William Phillips, Esq., Mayor, James Broders, aged 20, Henry E,ws Querepel, aged 18, and John Dixon, aged 15, three vagrants, were brought up in the custody of William Allen, the superintendent constable for that part of the county of Pembroke in which the Cardigan Union Workhouse is situated, charged by Mr. Thomas Lundy, the master of the workhouse, with violent and outrageous conduct, and with having broken seven panes of glass in the workhouse windows. The offence having been fully proved, the defendants were ordered to pay the expense of repairing the windows and costs of com- plaint, and in default of payment were each committed for one month with hard labour to Haverfordwest gaol. At the same sessions, Mrs. Jane Maria Phillips appeared to complain of threats and violent language used towards her by Mrs Frances Bevan. The offence having been proved, the defendant was ordered to enter into recog- nizances herself in 920, and two sufficient sureties of £10 each to keep the peace for six calendar months, and to give twenty-four hours notice of bail, and in default to be committed to Haverfordw-est gaol. CARDIGAN. A correspondent writes us that some time ago a master mariner was fined for selling coals and culm by measure, before the County Magistrates, who gave positive orders to their Clerk that precau- tionary bills were to be printed, requiring every person to sell the same by weight, or they would he subject to a penalty of 40s. for each offence, agreeable to the Act of Parliament, 5 & 6 Wm. IV. This is done at other places, why is it not acted upon at Cardigan ? GOLD MINES IN NORTH WALES.—A correspondent of the Mining Journal writes thus ;-Sir,-I have lately noticed in your journal several very interesting remarks on the gold mines at Cwm-heisien, and have, as a native of the principality, felt much interest in this important discovery. I am fully convinced that the operations of smelting and refining the precious metal has been carried on at Cwm-heisien in a most masterly manner by Mr. Edward Baldwin and, far from any mismanage- ment, I can with perfect confidence state that nothing could surpass the systematic and careful manner in which this and every other branch of the workings has been carried out. Although Mr Baldwin had great difficulties to contend with, I am happy to state that by his untiring perseverance, he has overcome them all, and there is now produced upwards of 7 lbs (troy) of pure British gold, which I believe to be the first ever known to be found in Wales. I now find that a great part of the 10 1 tons, spoken of in your journal of the 10th Jan., was not smelted. The whole of the concentrated ore would have been refined had not the works been unavoidably suspended, in consequence of the unprecedented wetness of the season. The slight and temporary manner the smelting and refinery houses were constructed in, rendered a continuance of the operation impossible, the wet penetrating to such a degree as to prevent the working of the furnaces. So far from there having been any waste, it is my belief that every care was directed in a manner that could have been effected under very able and judicious man- agement.-Dolegelly, Feb. 20. CYJIRO.

?, 'I -I- 1.1.1111 GLAMORGANSHIRE. I NEW MIKE VENTILATOR.—A very ingenious ma- chine, invented by W. P. Struve, C.E., Swansea, has been erected at the Eaglebush-colliery, near Neath, by which the use of furnaces is superseded, and an increased quantity of air circulated through the mine. In the specification he states that it may be so constructed as to draw an almost unlimited quantity of air out of the mine wi'h the least possible resistance, and which, of course, will be as quickly replaced through the down- cast pit." LLYNVI VALLEY RAILWAY.—The annual half-yearly meeting of the above Company was held on Tuesday last at the Great Western-oiffces in the Strand; Mr. Matthews in the chair. The report stated that traffic on the line had been greatly reduced during the past half-year, owing to the stoppage of some iron works in the district, and the directors were, therefore, only able to pay a dividend of £ 3 per cent. The old proprietors, however, claimed the full £ 5 guaranteed, but that question stood in abeyance for the present and the divi- dend would be paid, to them pro rata with the other shareholders. From the statement of the accounts it appeared that the revenue of the past half-year amounted to E3,241 0", ",d., and the expenditure to E2,228 3s. 2d., leaving £ 1,016 2s. Id. in hand, which, added to the previous surplus, made EI,339 18s. 8d. The report was adopted after some discussion, and the dividend having been declared, thanks were voted to the chair- man, and the meeting terminated. VALE OF NEATH RAILWAY.—The sixtll half-yearly meeting of this company was convened for Tuesday after- noon at the Great Western Offices, but as there was not I a sufficient number of shareholders present to constitute a meeting Viscount Villiers, M.P., the ch?rman, ad- journed the meeting sine die The the substance of the directors' report :-Duri.ng the past half-year two fresh contracts, which would complete the communication between Neath and Hirwain had been let to responsible contractors, who had been put in pos- session of land to commence their work, The works on the other portion of the line had been proceeded with satisfactorily. The proprietors would see by the state- ment of accounts that the sum unpaid upon the call due on the 12th April, 1847, amounted, on the 31st Decem- ber £ 11 696. The directors had hesitated, during the late severe pressure, to enforce by legal means the pay- ment of these calls; but they were now prepared to take immediate steps for their recovery, in every case in which there was a reasonable prospect of success. The directors would use every effort to complete the lower portion of the line, in order that it might be opened simultaneously with the South Wales Railway The traffic on this section would contribute to the de- duction of the amount of interest which would other- wise be chargeable against the capital of the company, and would also afford satisfactory exidence of the value of the undertaking, and tend to confirm the opinion which the directors had always entertained of its ulti- mate success. The balance-sheet represented the re- ceipts to amount to £ 109,244, of which ;CI,240 ivas for the past half-year, and the expenditure to L71,263 98. 10d., of wliicii C25,596 was for the past half-year, leav- ing £ 37,930 9s. lOd. in hand. GLAMORGANSHIRE SPRING ASSIZES. The commission for holding these assizes was opened at the Town-hall, Swansea, on Tuesday evening, before Mr. Justice Erie. The sheriff's usual ordinary was held at the Mackworth Arms, when several gentlemen dined together. The attendance, however, was not so large as expected, Mrs. Jones having made arrange- ments for a much larger company. Capt. Boteler, the High Sheriff, presided, and T. Evans, Esq., of Cardiff, Deputy Sheriff, occupied the vice-chair. The dinner being over, the High Sheriff proceeded in his carriage, accompanied by J. If. Vivian, Esq., M. P., C. H. Si-iiith, Esq., IL H. Miers, Esq., and other gentlemen, in their carriages, to meet the Learned Judge, who was ex- pected to arrive from Gloucester. The procession, which was comparatively a small one, was preceded by a leiivnie of javelin men, mounted, and weaving the High Sheriff's very elegant and chaste livery. Tile pro- cession met the learned Judge a short distance out of town, on the Morriston road. His lordship was ac- companied by Lady Erie. The learned Judge entered the High Sheriff's carriage, and the procession returned to Swansea, when his Lordship at once proceeded to the Town-hall, for the purpose of going through the for- mulary of opening the commission. His lordship attended St. Mary's Church, on Wed- nesday, when the Rev. Mr. Knight, the High Sheriff's chaplain, preached the assize sermon. There aie 2.5 prisoneis for trial, including J. Connors, railway laboiirer, chargcd upon the oath rif NVin. Williams, and others, for having on the 11th of Nov., at Cardiff, murdered one Ihomafc On Monday last, a boiler belonging to a steam engine, burst at the Tonmawr Colliery, near Neath, by which considerable damage was done; it is said to the amount of E600 to EIOOO. Fortunately no injury happened to any one. NEATH PETTY SESSIONik- On Friday last, before Griffith Llewellyn, and R. IT. Miers, Esqrs —John Dories, of C'winavon. was charged with assaulting Mary Evans of the same place.

Committed for trial at the assizes.— Thomas Cooke, mason, was charged with threatening to kill his wife Bound over to keep the peace for 3 months.—Henry Lewis was charged with being drunk in court. Fined 5s.

BRISTOL SUGAR MARKET, FEB. 28, 1849.—We have still to report a market very scantily supplied, con- sequently the sales since this day week are but trifling prices are without alteration, but the market to-day closes with a still firmer aspect,-Bristol Gazette. TELEGRAPHIC COMMUNICATION BETWEEN AME- RICA AND EUROPE.—Amongst the miscellaneous proceedings of the United States Congress are projects to establish a telegraphic communication across the Atlantic to Europe, to form a similar line across the American continent, and also a project to form a line of railway from the Lakes of Michigan to the Pacific.

SOUTH WALES RAILWAY. The eighth half yearly meeting of Shareholders, took place on Wednesday, at the Paddington Station of the Great Western Railway, Mr. C. Russell, in the chair. The Report of the Directors stated that steady progress had been made in the construction of the line between Newport and Swansea, and that out of 60 miles (the entire length of that portion of the railway), 20 miles were prepared to receive the permanent way, The Glo'ster and Dean Forest Railway works were also pro- gressing simultaneously. After announcing that 1261 shares, on which jE4137 10s. had been paid, were declared forfeited for non-payment of the 2nd. and 3rd. calls, the Directors express a determination to proceed for the recovery of these shareholder's liability wherever practicable. They also purpose borrowing money on bond or mortgage, as half of the capital has been paid up. Mr. Brunei's report confidently states that the line between Newport and Swansea, will be ready for opening by this time twelvemonth. From the statement of ac- counts there appeared a balance in hand of £ 60,595 5s. The report was at once adopted, the retiring directors re-elected, and thanks voted to the Chairman and Directors. [We regret that the late hour at which we received the report of this meeting precludes the pos- sibility of giving more than the above outline this week. ED. W.]

IRELAND. Lord John Russell's proposition of a sixpenny general rate in aid has evoked a storm of indignation throughout the length and breadth of Leinster and Ulster, and indeed in every quarter where the rates are low. There are 1000 men in the Cork workhouse without a shirt; It would require 22,000 yards of calicosays, a member of the board, to give the paupers a single change of linen The Liverpool Mercury suggests that in future her Majesty's home dominions shall be styled Great Britain and Idle-land"—not Ireland. Mr. Thomas Connelly, son of the late member, was elected on Tuesday week, without opposition, for Donegal. In the case of Mr. Duffy, whose trial for sedition has been going on at Dublin, for the last seven months, the jury were on Thursday discharged without returning a verdict. The prisoner is to be tried again on the 9th of April. The court refused to accept bail. THE IRISH POOR-RATE.-The ministerial scheme for regulating the poor-rate collection in Ireland is, shortly, as follows :-The rate of any electoral division, as such, shall not exceed, in future, 5s. in the pound in any one year. If the five shilling rate is not enough for the necessities of any such division, a rate not above 2s. in the pound shall be imposed on the whole union to make up the deficiency. If this even be still not sufficient, a general rate, not exceeding 6d. in the pound, is to be levied over the whole of Ireland. More than half a million, according to the estimates quoted in the House during the late debate, will be required to carry the insolvent unions over the present year. The 6d. rate, it is anticipated in Ireland, will not produce more than E250,000, leaving a deficiency of nearly three hundred thousand pounds to be provided in some other way. THE LATE LEADERS—Mr. Eugene O'Reilly, the young gentleman who figured rather prominently in the councils of the late Irish Confederation, has entered the service of His Majesty the King of Sardinia as a lieutenant of Lancers, with pay at the rate of 180f. a- month. Mr. O'Reilly, it may be recollected, was one of the deputation which accompanied Mr. Smith O'Brien in his mission of congratulation to the French Repub- lic; subsequently he became president of one of the war" clubs and, having rendered himself obnoxious to the Irish Government, he was arrested and impri- soned for several months under the provisions of the Suspension Act. The Irish bar was his original destination, but an expressed determination never to take the oath of allegiance compelled his friends to abandon the law as a suitable profession for the juvenile recusant. THE LATE SPECIAL COMMISSION IN TIPPERARY.— The Clonmel Chronicle contains the following:—" The expenses of witnesses at the late Clonmel Special Com- m i ss i on amounted to EI,515, in the first instance, were paid by the county treasurer to the order of the Clerk of the Crown, subject to the opinion of the Judges in Dublin their lordships decided that the prosecutions being for high treason, not for mere felony, the expenses were chargeable, not on the county, but on the govern- ment. The amount paid, therefore, has been refunded to the treasurer by the Crown Solicitor." RUMOURED VISIT OF THE QUEEN TO IRELANP.- Rumours are abroad that it is the intention of her Majesty to visit Ireland during the ensuing summer, and we observe that a northern contemporary has sanctioned a report that a royal marine residence is about to be purchased at Itostrevor.-Eve?zi;zg Mail.

WEST INDIA MAIL. I SOUTHAMPTON, TUESDAY MORN IN G.- The Royal Mail steam-ship Severn, Captain Vincent, arrived here at 9 o'clock with a portion of the West India Mails, principally from the Leeward Islands, &c. She has no mails from Mexico, Honduras, Jamaica, or Havannah, which were to have been brought up to Bermuda by the l'orth. The Severn sailed from Bermuda on the 13th inst., after waiting nearly eight days for the Gulf steamer. No intelligence of the For th 's loss had reached Bermuda the fact, however, of the mails being so long delayed is almost a confirmation of the unfavour- able news. The Severn was dispatched home, in consequence of having broken her starboard paddle shaft between St. Thomas and Bermuda. The Avon met with a precisely similar accident near Demerara she will consequently be the next ship home from Chagres and Bermuda. The Severn came across the ocean with only one paddle, and performed the vo)age in 13 days; she has a very trifling cargo, and only £ 3,000 specie on freight. There is very little news of importance from the various islands. At Barbadoes the weather was fine and the crops fa- vourable business was dull. The fever had re-appeared in St. Ann's Garrison. PENINSULAR MAILS. SOUTHAMPTON, TUESDAY MORNING—The Peninsu- lar and Oriental Steam Navigation Company's ship Indus has just arrived with the heavy portion of the In dian Mails, and dates from Alexandria 10th February, Malta 16th, Gibraltar 21st. She brings seventy passengers; specie on freight, value E24,300, and a large general cargo. Her Majesty's ship Gladiator had arrived at Gibral- tar. A detachment of Marines were embarked on board seven of the steamers of Sir C. Napier's fleet, which sailed to the eastward on the 19th to chastise the pirates on the Moorish coast, under the command of the Admiral. As, however, no boats or piratical vessels could be dis- covered, the squadron re-entered the bay without being enabled to accomplish its design. By the Atalanta steamer, which has just arrived here from Havre, we learn that yesterday the Cotton market opened very brisk, and sales amounted, up to two o'clock, to 1,256 bales, which were disposed of at ad- vanced rates. In other articles little is doing.

MORE COUNTY BRIDGES. To the Editor of the Welshman. SIR,-I presume that Mr. Penson, the Bridge Sur- veyor, has not been to the upper part of the county, consequently, I think I shall be doing an act of kindness to inform him that Pumpsaint bridge has been for some months in want of some such treatment as that pre- scribed for Lash bridge, by your correspondent, a Rate- payer, in the Welshman of last week, and also that a great part of the weir under Twrch bridge has been carried away by the water, and the bridge stands a very good chance of being undermined unless the weir is repaired. Perhaps I should say that both bridges arc on the road leading from Llandovery to Lampeter. I am, sir, your obedient servant, GHEY COKT. Glanyrafon, Feb. 26, 1849. GUEY COAT.

COUNTY BRIDGES. To the Editor of the Welshman. SIR,-In your last paper there appeared a letter res- pecting Lash Bridge, Llandebie, from one who styles himself "A Ratepayer" which could result from nothing but ill-will. My contract for that Bridge expired in October last, and it was only on the 19th of February last, I received orders to continue, and as no attention had been paid to the road during that time, it must, of course, be in a bad condition. I am happy to inform you, however, that before "A Ratepayer"'s insinuations had appeared, the work- had actuallv been completcd. Had your correspondent been A Ratepayer" he cer- tainly would have known that what is received for the work is not more than one-third of the sum he men- tioned. I am sir, your's faithfully, THE LATE CONTRACTOR.

By SAMUEL LA'MERT, M.D., 37, Bedford-sq., London, Doctor of Medicine, Matriculated Member of the Uni- versity of Edinburgh, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, &c. &c. Marriage requires the fulfilment of several conditions, in order that it may be really the cause of mutual hap- piness. Could the veil, which covers the origin of Ilomestic wretchedness, be raised, and its true source in every instance disclosed, in how many could it be traced to physical disqualiifcations and their attendant disappointments. Es'cesscs are always injurious; the gift, which when used in moderation is fraught with ad vantage, becomes, when abused, the prolific source of mischief, and of greater or less injury to the constitu- tional and vital powers. The particular excesses, on the nature and consequences of which this Treatise pro- fesses to dilate, are productive of greater misery to the human frame, than any other to which it is subject. This treatise is the result of a long course of study in a peculiar and much neglected branch of medical practise and the author having obtained the highest medical honours is aguarantee for his professional ex- perience, which has reference almost solely to the treat- ment of these diseases.
