BRISTOL SUGAR MARKET, MARCH 14. Since this day week a very brisk demand had been experienced for B P. Sugar, both for scale and pan purposes but business has been checked by the scanty supply, conse- quently the sales do not exceed 350 hhds. for the week, and the advance in price for that time is Is. 6d. per cwt. -Bristol Gazette. ILLNESS OF EARL FITZWILLIAM.—We are sorry to learn that this nobleman has been suffering for some days under a most painful malady, for which Sir Ben- jamin Brodie has been called in to operate. The noble earl is pronounced somewhat better since undergoing the operation. THB DUKB AND SIR C. NAPIER,-Sir Charles, at the late interview with the Duke, is said to have declined going to India. On this the Duke, in his customary curt style, responded, Then, sir, if you don't go, I must. United Service Gazette. A SUBJECT FOR TEETOTALISM.—On Monday, the 12th inst., before the Yen. Archdeacon Venables, and D. E. Thomas, Esq., John Jones, smith, and lately driver of the mail cart between Builth and Rhavader was holden in bail to keep the peace toward his wife and all, &c., &c.—in default to suffer three months' impri- sonment. The man being according to report, sane and sensible till (as Shakespeare saith) he puts a devil into his mouth to take away his brains, the constant result of which is that he comes home to knock out those of his wife. This being but one of a series of assaults and other outrageous excesses of drunken fury, what a pit) that some apostle of Temperance cannot make him a proselyte to humanity and decency, through its agency Not only liberty to himself and safety to his ivife, but peace to the town and a long holiday for his frequent visitor, the policeman, would be the fourfold benefit. BuILTH.-The Mechanic's Institute of this town, was some time ago enriched by the liberal present of nearly eighty books well selected, from the Lord Bishop of St. David's, who condescended to give an introductory Lecture on the occasion of its establishment. His Lordship's kindness having hitherto missed public acknowledgment, it seems proper to publish his laudable | example, although some months have elapsed sinne the establishment opene d. Preparations are now made to admit temporary subscribprs, among the summer visitors of the reighbourhood, who will be accommodated with loans of the books and periodicals. FATAL ACCIDENT AND CAUTION TO NURSE-S, &C.- A very fine boy, a bout three years old, son of Mr. Sheen, Church House, Llanvarith, lately lost its lifp through the apparently slight accident of a faU from a table, on which it was seated, the mother playing with it at the time, but unluckily failing to arrest its fall at the instant. The floor being of stone, a fracture of the base of the skull was the consequence, which (exhibiting no outward sign but a flow of blood from the ear) proved fatal in about four days, the sufferer never recovering its senses, though not wholly speechless. The practice of placing a child on a table is so very common, and indeed natural, that the publicity of this sad result of an inno- cent habit, may possibly save some child from an untimely death, and some doating parent from the sudden and unlooked for misery suffered in this instance.

A FREE TRANSLATION By Goronva Camlan," OF ARCHDEACON WILLIAMS'S ALCAIC ODE TO THOMAS PHILLIPS, ESQ., I And the Llandovery Welsh Educational Institution. Where Towy quits his rocky bed And swift descending, loves to spread In torrents on the vale; Where Bran, hoarse child of mountains grey, In gentle eddies winds her way Along her sylvan dale, Frowns a rude fortress-built of old Upon its scanty rock-and bold Defies Bran's circling flood; Its turrets show full many a scar, And, scathed by tempest, time, and war, Are redolent of blood. Oh warlike genius of our sires, Who cheered their hearts with patriot fires, Thine was no feeble hand; Inspired by thee, the Chieftain rose With sword, the spoiler of his foes, With clansmen true to death. Hence sprung, in danger nursed, a race, Who nothing dreaded but disgrace, Nor shrank from legal doom Not theirs in death the hopeless sigh, Whose faith beheld their God on high, Their home beyond the tomb. Religious fanes on plain, on hill, With labour raised and rustic skill, Our Father's faith proclaim; This massy fabric, hoar with time, That oaken grove, this town sublime, Bear Sainted Dingad's name. The mounds that swell on yonder brow, Of early deeds the traces show, When Claudius crossed the main No fear the swart Silurian knew When Rome's proud eagles hither flew, Vaunting their world wide reign. Her warlike chiefs with skill profound, Sunk the deep ditch and raised the mound, And fenced the rampart well; But vain their labour-short their day- The Romans fled-of Roman sway Nought but dim legends tell. We bless you, fathers, strong of hand, Your children still their mountain land, This day hold fast as then; So let them hold it, God, for ever, Nor e'er give tyrants might to sever Cambria from Cambrian men. Not vainly Taliesin spoke, The Briton free from foreign yoke, The Briton aye shall be," Hence past the Saxon-hence the Danes, Hence they who crushed the Saxon Thanes, The Norman Chivalry. Roll on, ye unpolluted rivers, Your mountain cradles God delivers From slavery and its stain Where spread these vales, where towers each steep, Whence your perennial waters leap, No alien race shall reign. Ask Crookback Richard, England's King, Who sought beneath Religion's wing His treason foul to hide, If either threats or gifts had power, To quench our love for Britain's flower, And quit young Richmond. What, though his stately shrine arise The cynosure of neighbouring eyes," His was thrown away; His gifts Demetia's warriors spurned, And every heart with ardour burned To terminate his sway. Then rose Sir Rhys, Stratowy's Lord, Buckled his armour, past the word, One Prince must be our own," To Bosworth rushed, assailed The Boar, From felon grasp the sceptre tore, And reared the Tudor throne. Sleep on illustrious shades—sleep on— Nor doubt, that from the Eternal Throne Grace visits still our land Your children of to-day can feel P.art in their çountrr'e_d.J!.e.ala., Like you, Heroic Band. Whose name, of all the Patriot throng, Shall claim to-day the Muse's song ? Thine Generous Phillips thine; Not on far India's sultry plain, Was once forgot the golden chain That linked thee to thy line. No pomp of selfish wealth thy prayer, No wish with vulgar souls to share The honours of a day; Thy wish—thy countrymen to raise, And in their weal of future praise, The broad foundation lay. Let others store their destined gold, Till death's chill touch unloose their hold— Thou in thy life hast given Here from thy liberal hands arise The towers whence students' watchful eyes May catch the light from heaven. Here learning opes her holiest page, Here seed is sown for future age, Hence blest by heavenly dew; A golden harvest, Autumn's pride, Children of promise, spreading wide, Burst on my kindling view. No longer they like Helot born, Children of ignorance and scorn, But rich with wisdom,s store; Versed in all arts Athena taught, See Roman Majesty of thought, And Israel's holier lore. Nor let them fail with loval heart To the due honour to impart, Oh dearest mother tongue Ne > er can those sacred lyrics die, Wilil-h minstrel, saint, and warrior high In harmony have sung. Blush, cringing slave, and fear to ow The words, the accent, and the tone With which Caradoc spoke; The spirit high, the brilliant thought, The burning word, which, ere she fought, From Boadicea broke. But as the harp, if o'er its string Some master hand enchantment flings., Makes every fibre glow; So in that tongue alone our care, Our thoughts, our passion, and our prayer, With full expression flow. Then seize the key, unlock the door, Which bars from Cambria's child the lore, Which children ought to know; Unroll before his eyes the page- Science and Wisdom's heritage, And Satan's deadliest foe. Then shall old Dyfed yearn no more, For all her mighty sons of yore— Men of eternal name Like Asser, who the Severn cross'd To raise the light in England lost, And hallow England's fame. Then shall Giraldus live again, Whose spirit true in dauntless strain Braved Norman Henry's rage The champion of St. David's shrine, And of our fame in lasting line, Herald from age to age. Kor e'er, while lives the magic spell, Which binds who hear the minstrel tell Of war on Ilion's strand Fail we in thought with thee to soar, Grey father of romantic lore, And Homer of our land. For them fair Chivalry awoke, When light on startled Europe broke From Geoflry's wondrous page When woman, raised to equal place, Gave Knighthood, courage, skill and grace, To rival Arthur's rage. But, buried deep in murky night, Has banished long that early light, And low the Briton lies Mv country bv the Mighty Sires, And by thy virtue's slumbering fires, Awake once more and rise! Oh! that a salient from our blood, Might rise to stem the foreign flood, Which inundates the land; Who versed ill Cambria's language, laws, Might Dewi's church, and Cambria's cause, Uphold with croziered hand. E'en now comes Hope onr hills among, For though a stranger tQ our tongue, Sits on St. David's throne He, versed in lore of ancient days, Has wisely learned to pray and praise With Cambria's words and tone. Oh! Pastor, great and eloquent, By no unfriendly angel sent, Play out thy glorious part; Let not Her languish in the dust Who aks but gentle rule and just, To lavish all her heart. Dare to str i ve" Say to young genius, Dare to strive" And keep the struggling flame alive, Which seeks its kindred sky So when our days are things of story, We and our sons may share the glory Of those, who Ilever die, I To the Editor of the Welshman. I SIR,-In consequence of a communication made to the Town Council at a meeting held on the 9th instant, that I was levelling the side of the road, part of the Corpo- ration property, I beg to acquaint them through the medium of your paper, that the spot of ground in question is the site of an old building and hav yard formerly 111 the occupation of the late -\j¡ehat.1 John, and has been private property during the last 411 or .50 years. If thf gentleman making the communication had first satisfied himself as to the boundary of the Corporatiou property by an enquiry in the immediate neighbourhood, he would have saved himself much trouble, and there would be no grounds for supposing that the property was then taken by stealth from the Corporation. I am, sir, your very obedient servant, Spilman-street, Carmarthen, l W. ROGERS. March 14th, 1849. )

LOCK-UP HOUSE AT THE FERRY SIDE. To the Editor of the Welshman. Sm,I hope through the medium of your columns to be enabed to show to the magistracy of this county that serious inconvenience is entailed on the inhabitants of the neighbourhood of the Ferry Side, and the distric t contiguous, as well as the Rural Constabnlary, by the want of a proper Lock-up House. That the necessity for the erection of a Lock-up House exists, has been I twice affirmed by the Court of Quarter Sessions, who I have voted a sum of money to obtain this desideratum but as yet no effectual steps seem to have been taken to carry out the wishes of the Court in consequence, it is said, of the difficulty of obtaining a lease of the ground on which it was originally proposed to erect the build- ing. As one instance out of many that might be ad- duced in proof of the urgent necessity that exists for the prevention of further delay in this matter, I may mention that during the present year, Mr. Davies, of Penallt, has night after night had repeated robberies of potatoes and turnips committed on his farm, and finding the depredations becoming rather too frequent to be pleasant, gave information of the circumstance to police constables Hart and Collins, stationed at Ferry Side, and who are probably two of the most efficicnt officers in the force. Accordingly, on Friday night, a wtlteh was set, and after waiting for some time, two women, named Elizabeth Evans and Margaret King, who reside at Kidwelly, and are well known characters, were appre- hended in the act of abstraction. On Saturday morning they were brought before the Rev. T. B. Gwyn, at St. Ishmael, and fined, including costs, 9s. 8d. The chief feature in this case on which I rely to prove the neces- sity of erecting a Lock-up House at the Ferry Side, is the circumstance that the policemen were obliged to shelter these two thieves for the night in their own dwellings, and keep them there until they were brought up for examination. Surely this state of things should not be allowed to exist longer, and I sincerely trust a remedy will speedily be provided. I am, Sir, Yours' obediently. A RATEPAYER. I

I ? *?d a dark black spot or bruise on the lower part of ?"?els extending upwards in a right line. She ? nered from great pain in the bowels. It appeared to a bruise caused by some hard substance coming ti: entJy in contact with the body. I visited her three tit? -?s at intervals of two days, and applied such remedies ? thought advisable. The part about the bruise was inflamed. I was not present when she died, but  Present at the coroner's inquest on the 13th Sept. ??? '?hitipps was present, and an assistant. I found e body in an emaciated condition, and opposite the *luse in a putrid state. The contents of the intestines ?" escaped into the swelling.

I am of opinion th'??? occasioned by some external injury on the M 8ht side of the groin She was apparently healthy, ? ?Pt in that situation. I think the injury was the O'llise of death. I should suppose from the state of 'vreakss she was in when I was first called in that the lni tiry had existed some days. There were no symptoms of hernia or rupture. Lrosa-examined:—Had there been such symptoms « ^6 bowels would have been constipated. I know they ?te not, because I was told the medicine acted. There n° swe^n8 at the time. I perceived a swelling on the '?h of September, the last time I saw her. I saw 'l';befre on the 6th; there was hardly any swelling then. The skin was discoloured. I thought her in the greatest 'danger all the time. I account for the swelling con- t'nin? a portion of the faeces by the destruction of the pa tOf the intestines by mortification, and occasioned y the injury. The contents of the abdomen were so far Putrid that they would scarcely bear handling; '°sy ua fallen to nieces. They were no symptoms of 11 rupture, There might have been one, and the person lUight have used a truss and the parts healed. I will "I' say they blight not heal without a truss. On the 30th of August she was apparently sinking. I applied atirnu lant" combined with aperients, and hot fomenta- ons to the abdomen. I did not see her till the 6th, ece ?? daughter told me the next day that the Seines H&D operated, and asked for more. t e-exmmed :-A rupture would not produce ex- tern a 1 hscolouration till the last stage, and it could T].

The cause of dent^ appeared to be connected with the external in- Jtnes she had received, and to have resulted from them. 'Olili-t:anuncd :-1 do not think the appearances could have been produced by strangulated hernia. They were not in a situation for it. Thomas Jones, Clerk to the Magistrates of Penrhiw-  district, examined:—I was called on the 6th of SI'Vle rber last, to take decased's deposition in the Presence of T. Davies Lloyd, Esq. She appeared in grg P?'n. I took down accurately every word she ad, and it is in the depositions. I do not think she g anything about dying, but after Mr. Lloyd went ;.RTNva Y. she told me she was afraid she would not recover. he Welsh words were-" I fear I shall not get better." The interpreter here explained that the meaning of the idiom was, 11 I fear I shall not recover." T. D. Lloyd, Esq., examined :-The deceased told tile she was very ill. The two words used were eitha C which means in English sufficiently ill. John Jones, surgeon, recalled :-She said she as Very ill and thought she would not recover. She shoke in Welsh, and conveyed to me the impression that 8 h e believed it was her mortal illness. D. Lloyd, Esq., examined by the Court :-She was rnoatij, g the whole time I was there and could hardly ijulate. I think she spoke in fear of death. dirr. Hall objected that the contents of the document did not show in themselves that the deceased was in fear of death, although she was sworn to it. Under th OSCci.rcumstances he wished for His Lordship's IDP. Oil whether it could be read as against the P lsoner. Ca Lordship thought the document admissible be- Ca) ?e sworn to.

On Saturday evening, the 27th January, Lyons called at my house. I gave him food and offered him a night's lodgings. I put him in the barn. My servants informed me next morning that their clothes had been taken during the night. Thomas Lewis, examined :-1 am a servant in the employ of last witness. On the afternoon of the 27th January, I had 2 pair of trousers, two pair of stockings, a sailor's hat, and 2 pocket handkerchiefs hanging up in my room I sleep in a room over the beast-house. I last saw the articles at 4 o'clock that afternoon. I recollect seeing Lyons there in the house. I went to get shaved, and when I got up next morning he was in the barn. I went to bed that night. The only way to my room is through the barn. On the morning of the 28th I missed my clothes, and gave information to my master. Lyons was then in the barn, and I detained him. I afterwards gave him into the custody of P. C. John Rees. P. C. John Ress produced one pair of trousers, the stockings, a hat, and 2 handkerchiefs, which witness identified as his. Thomas Lewis, cross-examined by Lyons:—I did not see you take the clothes. By the Court:—A man in the barn could get to the clothes without waking me. John Evans, examined:—I am a fellow servant of last witness. I was so in January last, and slept in the loft above the cattle. I slept there on the night of the 27th January. I had in my possession a pair of stockings, a handkerchief, and a jacket I saw them on the 27th January, about 4 o'clock in the afternoon. I saw the prisoner go to bed about 9 o'clock that evening. I locked the barn door and left the key in it. P. C. John Ilees produced a jacket, a handkerchief, and a pair of stockings, which witness identified to be his. On the next morning these things were missing. Daniel Davies, examined :—I also am in the employ of Mr. David Williams, and fellow servant of last wit- nesses. I sleep in the same place as they do. 1 had a pair of stockings, a pair of trousers and a hat in that room, and saw them last about 4 o'clock in the after- noon. I saw Lyons come to the house and go to the barn. I went to bed about 9 o'clock. I got up next morning between 7 and 8 o'clock, and missed the things immediately. Prisoner Lyons was still on the .premises. [Witness here identified his clothes, which were produced by Rees the police officer.] John Davies, examined :—I live at Aberporth, in this County, and my house is about a mile distant from Mr. Williams's. On the morning of the 28th January, Randall and Elliott called at my house begging. They had a sack with them. I gave information to the police officer who called just after. P.C. John Rees, examined :-In consequence of infor- mation, I went in pursuit of two of the prisoners. I had previously seen Edmund Lyons in custody. I went about 13 miles in pursuit. I went 6 or 8 miles along the sea side, and then to the road. At Syned Inn I took Randall andElliott in custody, and took them back, previously searching them. Randall had a pair of trousers, a handkerchief, and a hat, and Elliot had a sailor's hat, and all the other things that have been produced, and which were all identified by the various witnesses examined to-day. This closed the case for the prosecution. The prisoner Randall in his defence said:—"The clothes were given to us as we went along the road." Lyons declined making any defence, but Elliot added that he was with Randall when the clothes were picked up, thus creating a contradiction in their stories. His Lordship summed up perspicuously, and the jury returned a verdict of Guilty against all the prisoners. Sentence-Imprisonment for 6 calendar months each with hard labour. Attorney for prosecution, Mr. R. D. Jenkins, Cardigan. Mary Griffiths was charged with having, on the 15th of January last, at Penrallt, in the parish of Aberporth, stolen two blankets, a quilt, a boltster, and a boltster case, the property of Captain Thomas Jenkins. Mr. Grove appeared as counsel for the prosecution. The prisoner was undefended. Mr. Grove without addressing the jury, called the following witnesses:— David Evans, examinedI am a farm servant to Capt. Thos. Jenkins, of Penrallt. On the 15th January I missed a pair of blankets and a quilt, from the hay- loft, above the stable. I missed them about 8 o'clock in the evening, and had seen them before about 4 o'clock in the afternoon. I gave information to a policeman. Prisoner had been in service last year with Capt. Jenkins. P.C. John Rees, examined:—From information I received I went to the house of Owen Evans. I found prisoner there, and Owen Evans pointed out to me one quilt, two blankets, one bolster, and one bolster case. I took the prisoner into custody, and on the roads he asked me what it was best for her to do. I told her it was best for her to confess. [His Lordship decided that the remainder of this witnesses evidence would be inadmissible.] The first witness was recalled and identified the articles. Owen Evans examined:—I recollect prisoner coming to my house on the 18th of January. She brought something with her, and went into my house with it. I have known her some time. She offered to sell me some bed clothes. I saw them by the light of the fire; they were similar to those produced here to-day. I re- collect a constable coming there the next morning. When he came I pointed out the things to him. They were found on the floor. Prisoner said the bed clothes had been left to her by her grandmother. I refused to buy them. Cross-examined:—I do not know that my wife sent the prisoner to fetch them. I never heard my wife speak to prisoner. Mary Evans examined :—I am the wife of the last witness. On Monday, the 15th of January, prisoner asked me if I would buy a pair of blankets, and I told her I had no money to buy with. Prisoner left the clothes at my house on a Monday evening, and again asked me to buy. I said I had no money. She left the clothes that night and called the next morning, when she asked the same question, and received a similar answer. She said the clothes were left her by her grandmother. My husband did not offer her 4s. for them. We had not a halfpenny in the house. I did not tell her to. say they were left her by her grandmother. Prisoner told me so. Owen Evans recalled I offered her 4s. for the clothes provided she brought with her the person that brought her up. This closed the case for the prosecution. Prisoner declined saying anything in her defence. His Lordship summed up, and the jury returned a ver- dict of Guilty. Sentenced to two months' imprisonment with hard labour. n- _-n THURSDAY. I His Lordship entered the Court about 9 o'clock. Ellas Thomas was charged with having burglariously broken and entered the house of Samuel Davies, of Brynowen, in the parish of Llandissilio-gogo, with intent to steal therein. The prisoner pleaded Not Guilty. Mr. Hall addressed the jury for the prisoner very briefly, and called the following witnesses:- Samuel Davies, evainined: I am a watch and clockmaker, and live at Brynonwen, in the parish of Llandissilio-gogo. On Friday, the 28th of August, I was at the Crown public house, at Llwyndafydd, about three quarters of a mile from my house. Prisoner was present, and heard a conversation between me and Wm. Rees, and John Williams, about some watches. I asked them if thev wanted to buy watches. I went to bed before 11 o'clock. I sleep in my work room on the ground floor. It has got a window looking out, the size of the lower sash is 9 inches by 20. My work- table is immediately under that window. I keep my tools and finished and unfinished watches on that table. The window is usually fastened with a nail. The window was shut that night, but not fastened. After I had been in bed some time I heard the noise of the window being raised up. My wife asked what was at the window, and thought a man was there. I got out of bed immediately, and saw the right arm of a man through the window, the lower sash being open it was rather dark. I took my razor out of the table drawer, and cut a wound in his hand. He drew his hand out, and ran away. I then fastened up the window, and went to bed again. I heard the clock strike one. The hand was moving about, and moving my tools. I had no watch there that night. I got up the next morning before six o'clock, but did not miss am thing. I found marks of blood, and a piece of skin or flesh on the table. I put it in some salt and water into a bottle. I gave information to the police. I have three daughters. Sarah lives with me, but the other two Elizabeth and Hester are in service. I next saw prisoner before the magistrates at Aberayron with his hand bound up. Cross-examined :—Before I went to bed I locked the door, but forgot to put the nail in the window. I had shut the window before I left home, and went to the public house. I did nothing to the window when I went home. The window was shut, but I do not recollect when I shut it. My daughters came to see me in the day-time occasionally. Sarah Davies, wife of prosecutor, examined: I slept with my husband on the night in question. The window was closed safely. Cross-examined :—I merely looked to see if it was shut. Sarah Davies, daughter of the last witness, examined --I live with my father and mother at Brynowen, and was the only one of his daughters living with him on the 26th August last. I know prisoner at the bar, and have known him since I was about 10 years of age. He lives within a mile of my father's house. He has never paid his addresses to me. I never gave him any encouragement. Mr. Thomas Hughes, turgeon:-On the 28th of August last, the police spoke to me. I had not seen prisoner before. But on the 28th prisoner came to me with a wouud on his right hand about the size of a crown piece, and said it had been caused by a scythe. Next day he altered his story, and assigned a different cause. He said that a few days or nights before, he had called at Samuel Davies's house in company with two other persons, one was the servant of Jones, at Penrallt, and got the wound then. On the Wednesday when he was going before the magistrates I dressed the wound, and also on the Friday following. The wound was on the fleshy part of the thumb, likely to have been inflicted by a razor or some sharp instrument, as it was a clear Hal wound. Cross-examined :—I do not know Jones, of Pen- rallt. The prisoner said he had gone to court the daughter of the prosecutor. P. C- David Evans, examined :-In consequence of information I received from Samuel Davies I made en- quiries, and found that prisoner had a cut on his hand. Prisoner's friends brought him to me at Llanarth on the 23th of August, and I took him in charge. I held out no threat and made no promise to him. I asked prisoner what he was doing there. He told me he was going to court Samuel Davies's daughter. I asked if he went to the girl that night, and he said that he did not. Samuel Davies cut his hand. Mr. Grove, for the prisoner, contended that the pri- soner was paying his addesses to the daughter of prosecutor, and that the father being inimical to his interests, had cut him with the razor on the night in question. The Learned Judge most lucidly summed up, ana the jury returned as their verdict that the prisoner was guilty of opening the window, but not with the intent of committing a burglary. This was taken in court to be a verdict of acquittal, which was accordingly registered. This terminated the business of the Assizes. ABEHYSTWITH PLOUGHING MATCH.— A ploughing match for the upper section of Cardiganshire, took place on Tuesday last, in a field on Tan Dinas farm, near Aberystwiih. The field is under the tenancy of Mr. Joel Moruau, and is about 7 acres in area. About 10 o'clock 21 competitors started, and at 2 the whole ground allotted was turned up in splendid style. The judges then entered upon their duties, and a little after 4 o'clock, after carefully going over every furrow, gave in their decision as follows :-First Prize of £ 2 10s. to Morgan Parry, ploughman of Earl of Lisburne, Cross- wood Second do. of JE2 to David Williams, also ploughman of Earl of Lisburne Third do. of El 10s. to Lewis Junes, ploughman of Mr. Isaac Rowlands, Abermaide Fourth do. of El to Richard Morgan, ploughman of Pryse Pryse, Esq., M.P., Gogerddan. The judges on the occasion were Messrs: Wm. Jones, of Bryncastell, John Edwards, Nantseriol, and Wm. Evans, of Pwlly Issa, and their decision, it need not be said, gave unqualified satisfaction. The proximity of the scene of action to Aberystwith caused the ground to be visited during the day by an immense number of per- sons from the town. The appearance of the men as well as their teams, was altogether up to the mark," and the whole aggregate performance of the day highly creditable to the skill of the ploughmen, and proved very embarrassing to the judges to decide amongst so much excellence which candidates were entitled to the prizes. Amongst the company present and who took great interest in the days work, were Messrs. Miller, Williams, and Wells, the liberal and respectable agents of the three great landed proprietors of upper Cardigan- shire. The money for the above prizes was subscribed almost exclusively amongst the tenant farmers of the district, and great praise is due to the treasurer and secretary, Mr. H. Humphreys, Druggist, Aberystwith, who together with Messrs. J. Edwards, Nantsiriol, Wm. Jones, Bryncastell, Evan Killing, Llacbadarn fawr, and others, were the principal originators of the present meeting, as well as that at Llanbadarn on last Hollan- tide. Considering how ripe the tenant farmers are for an agricultural society in the upper district of Cardigan- shire, it is to be hoped the land owners will read the signs of the times, and lend them a helping hand in the affair. CHARGE OF ASSAULT.—At a special petty sessions, held for the borough of Cardigan, before the mayor, Wm. Phillips, Esq., and R. D. Jenkins, Esq., borough magistrates, Captain Poltnam was charged with having committed a violent assault on Ann James. Mr. W. E. George appeared for the defendant. It appeared from evidence, which was very voluminous, that the gallant Captain having been irritated by a want of attention and disobedience of his orders, became excited, and in a passion struck the complainant a blow on the side of the head with a small hearth-broom which happened at the moment to be at hand. Mr. W. G. George very ably addressed the bench on behalf of the defendant, and contended that no case had been made out from the evidence. The bench was, however, of opinion that a prima facie case had been established, which they re- quired the defendant to rebut. The defendant was ul- timately fined thirty shillings for the assault and costs, and in default of payment, three weeks' imprisonment. Subsequently Poltnam was summoned to answer the complaint of Mrs. Mary Williams, for threatening language and putting her in bodily fear. The offence having been fully proved, the defendant was required to enter into his own recognizances for £ 10, with sureties for E5, to keep peace the for six calendar months. The required bail was immediately entered into. CARDIGAN.—A meeting of the merchants, ship- owners, and inhabitants of the town of Cardigan con- nected with the shipping interest of this port, was held pursuant to notice given for that purpose, in the Town- Hall, on Friday last, when petitions against any alteration of the existing Navigation Laws were unani- mously adopted. The meeting was numerously and respectably attended, and great interest was manifested by the inhabitants of the town generally. The petitions to both Houses of Parliament were subsequently left for signatures, and in the course of Saturday a majority of the inhabitants of Cardigan had signed them. On Sa- turday evening the petitions were forwarded to the local members for presentation. ,# i_-
