NAREERTH STEEPLE CHASES.—These sports, as pre- viously announced, came off on Tuesday last, not unaccompanied with the usual" moving accidents of flood and field." The first race an Open Stakes" was won by Caliph, with Squire Ugly, second, Maid Lawrctvny, third, Esmeralda, fourth, and the others tailed off. Charity, upon which the Carmarthenshire gentry had staked their faith, fell several times, and, although acknowledged to be an excellent horse, lost all chance of success, A second race, for a Hack, (JI Scurry Stakes, was won by a horse named Mifo, who like his Grecian antecedent, distanced all competitors. "r e rrrct that the enjoyment of the day's proceedings was marred by several serious and well-nigh fatal occurrences. THE WONDERS OF THE SEASON.—Three ewes, the property of Mr. Thomas, Llecha, near St. David's, Pem- brokeshire, together brought twelve lambs the first five lambs, the second four, and the third three THE LATE RIOT IN KILGERHAN.—On Saturday last, Win. Bowen, was charged before James Bowen, W. D. Jones, and W. H. Lewis, Esq., with unlawfully carry- ing a wooden horse. The defendant admitted the offence, and was ordered to find sureties for his good behaviour the required bail being furnished, the de- fendant was discharged.
HAVERFORDWEST -COUNTY COURT.I
HAVERFORDWEST COUNTY COURT. I The usual Monthly Court was held at the "Shire-hall, in this town, on Friday last, before John Johnes, Esq., the judge. RE ELIZABETH GIBBON. Mr. Parry presented a petition for protection from process, on behalf of this insolvent, who keeps the King's Arms Inn, in this town. An interim order of protection was granted, and the 29th of April next, at nine o'clock, appointed for the first examination. RE CHARLES DAVIES. I Mr. Parry also presented a similar petition on behalf of this insolvent, who is a butcher residing at Hakin. His Honour observed that it appeared from the insol- vent's schedule that there were several unsatisfied County Court judgments against the insolvent. Mr. Parry stated that that was the; case, but his application was that the interim order of protection might be granted, on condition that those judgments should be satisfied previous to the insolvent's first examination. His Honour said he could not accede to the request. John James v. Lambert Baillietc.-In this case an interpleader summons had been taken out by the high- bailiff, so as to obtain the decision of the Court on a claim made by Mr. E. P. Phillips to a pianoforte, levied under an execution in this action, and which Mr. Phil- lips claimed as a security for El lent by him to the de- dendant, and for medical attendance upon the defen- dant and his family. The case was heard at the last Court, but his honour deferred pronouncing judgement until this day. After adverting to the facts of the case, his Honour said he considered that the claimant was en- titled to retain possession of the instrument in question until his lien thereon was satisfied, and that the amount of such lien should have been tendered to the claimant at the time the levy was made; he therefore gave judgment for the claimant, the costs of the proceedings to be paid by the plaintiff. William Jenkins v. Robert Purnell.— The plaintiff claimed 12s. lid. for the board and lodging of the de- fendant's son. The plaintiff, who is a tailor, residing at Saundersfoot, conducted his own case, and created considerable amuse- ment in Court, by the self-importance and legal know- ledge which he displayed. The defendant, well known as the late driver of the mail coach, in this town, was represented by Mr. G. Parry. It appeared from the evidence that the boy for whose cost of board, this action was brought, is a nephew to the plaintiff, and that the idea of making a charge upon his visitor was an after thought. His honour gave judgment for the defendant. The plaintiff, whose physiognomy betrayed evident marks of disappointment, rose and told his honour he should PROPOSE (post-pone ?) it to the next Court, but his motion was not granted.
I CARDIGANSHIRE.
I CARDIGANSHIRE. The Rev. E. Harold Browne, Vice Principal of Saint David's College, Lampeter, has contributed E5 towards the fund for defraying the cost of erecting a new Church at Llanelly. CARDIGAN.—SEIZURE OF MALT.—On the 21st inst., Mr. Henry Stephens, assisted by Mr. James Davies, officers of the Inland Revenue, made a seizure of about five bushels of illicit malt at the residence of Mrs. Sophia James, the wife of Mr. Evan James, of Cardi- gan.—On the 24th instant, as Mr. Stephens and Mr. Heale were proceeding on their duties, and when near the gaol, they observed two women, named Alban, daughters of Owen Alban, of Verwick, who were car- rying bags full of grain, and from their suspicious de- meanor they stopped them, and found them with about a bushel of malt each. On a recent occasion Mr. Ste- phens and Mr. Davies discovered a large quantity of illicit malt in an empty coal-house, near the mill, Car- digan, belonging to the Rev. Mr. Miles, to which access had been obtained by means of false keys. Informations have been lodged against all the parties. HOUSE BREAKING.—On the night of the 25th instant, between the hours of six and eight p. m., the house of Mr. David Evans, farmer, of Penrhiw, in the parish of Talley, in this county, was broken open and entered whilst the family were in chapel, and the sum of two pounds five shilling and twopence halfpenny stolen therefrom. There was a very suspicious person seen near the premises during the absence of the family, and David Evans lost no time in giving his description to the police officers at Lampeter. The next morning police constable W. James, of the Cardiganshire con- stabulary had a clue of the described person, who had passed through Lampeter, and immediately proceeded in search of him. He was apprehended near Llan. rhystyd, and on his person was found two pounds and one shilling; the remainder it is supposed, he had spent on the road. The prisoner was taken before Dr. Lle- wellyn, and after several witnesses had been examined, he was fully committed to take his trial at the next Quarter Sessions for the county of Carmarthen. The prisoner says his name is Thomas Jones, of Abercrigie, Montgomeryshire. ABERYSTWITH MUNICIPAL MATTERS.- A meeting of the Commissioners under the Local Act, took place at the Town-hall on Tuesday last, John Miller, Esq., Mayor, in the chair. Besides several other Commis- sioners, there were present David Edwards, Lewis Jones, and Thomas Jones, Esqrs., Municipal Magis- trates. After the routine business of the town had terminated, the magistrates proceeded to appoint two overseers of the poor for the town of Aberystwith for the ensuing year; prior to which, his worship the \ravnr sup-nested the propriety of appointing an assistant overseer, as is the case in most other parishes. This proposal was received with considerable approbation by several rate-payers who were present, especially by Mr. Robert Edward, who, in the course of the morning enquired whether the Court was competent then to enter into the discussion as to the propriety of engaging an assistant overseer of the poor ? Mr. W. H. Thomas, Clerk to the Commissioners, was of opinion that it was not competent; it must be discussed in vestry. The matter then dropped, and the magistrates appointed as overseers for the next municipal year, Mr. David Lloyd, of Great Dark Gate Street, and Mr. John Jones, of Pier Street. SHIPWRECK. About a fortnight since, off the Wick- low bank, the Ocean Child, from Aberystwith, was wrecked with a cargo of rock salt for Holland, Mr. AVm. James, master, crew saved but the whole of the cargo was lost with everything except a part of the crew's wearing apparel. Fortunately the vessel was insured to nearly its full value. LAUNCHES AT AilERYSTWITH.-On the 26th instant, was launched from the slip-way of Mr. John Evans, a fine modelled schooner, of 100 tons burthen, rigging set and sails bent, ready for sea. She is to be commanded by Mr. Doughton, late of the smack Excellent, of the same port. Also on the same day, the smack Dilipence was launched, it having, been lengthened and completely repaired. On the 27th instant, the schooner Commerce was launched after having been lengthened and under- gone a thorough repair. CAUTION TO MARINERS.—The following paragraphs appeared a few days since in a London print; and which we transfer to our columns for the benefit of our nau- tical readers:—"NARROW ESCAPE FROM SUFFOCA- TION. —A vessel from Wales, laden with Welsh coals, a few days since arrived in the river, and was moored off Topping's Wharf, where she remains. The evening being very cold, the crew, consisting of five men, made up a large fire in the forecastle, and before going to bed put down the forecastle hatch. The watchman, in the morning, was surprised that no one appeared on deck he,called, but received no answer, and, on going below, found the five men in their berths apparently lifeless, itnd blood issuing from their mouths and noses. He Immediately had them conveyed on deck, and two me- dical men were speedily in attendance, who soon saw they were labouring under the effects of some deli- terious vapour he proceeded accordingly, and after a lapse of 12 hours they were pronounced out of danger. On examining the Welsh coal it was found to contain much sulphur, whichr, on combustion, had filled the cabin with sulphurous acid gas and caused the accident." "NARROW ESCAPE FROM SUFFOCATION. Sir,—In a paragraph in your last number, which is thus headed, the all but fatal effects are ascribed to sulphurous gas" — a most erroneous supposition. Anthracite is found in Wales, and the products of its combustion are car- bonic aoii gas and carbonic ox ide-both act as narcotic poisons on the brain, and soon suspend the vital func- tions. The agency of carbonic oxide, from its being more subtle than the other, is, perhaps, the more promptly fatal of the two, though the least suspected. A precisely similar occurrence took place some time ago among the shipping in the port of Iinll but the issue was fatal, for the entire number perished. In cases of apparent death fiom such causes, cold water should be thrown on the body, and poured from a pitcher on the back part of the head, and the usual excitants and stimulants employed.—J. MURRAY, Portland-place, Hull, March 20.—[We wrote the paragraph alluded to by Dr. Murray from the information afforded us, that the coals were a highly sulphurous, bituminous coal from Wules, and not Welsh anthracite. Still carbonic or carbonic oxide, might have formed part of the narcotic vapour, Lut not to the e:tf¡t which would have been supplied by anthracite.]

I GLAMORGANSHIRE. EMBEZZLEMENT.—Mr. George Thomas, Solicitor, Clerk to the raving and Lighting Commissioners, Sivansca, has been apprehended and remanded on a charge of embezzling money (nearly £250) belonging to the Commissioners. NEATII PETTY SESSIONS.—On Friday last before G. Llewellyn, and H. 1-1. Miers, Esqrs., William Thomas, Ystallyfera, was charged with assaulting Elizabeth Gape, of the same place. Ordered to pay 5s. and costs. NEATH POLICE.-On Monday last, before R. P. Leyshon, Esq., Mayor, John Protheroe, alias Jack Mackcrcl, was brought up in the custody of P.C. Wm. Rees, (who had arrested him in Swansea) and charged with obtaining eight pounds from Mr. Phillips, grocer, Neath, representing the money to be for Mr. Henry Hancock, innkeeper, Cwmavon. Committed for trial at the Quarter Sessions. Elizabeth Protheroe, was charged with stealing a shawl, the property of Mrs. Jen- kins, of Neath. Committed for trial at the Quarter Sessions. NEATH.—Mr. John Sharp, the spirited contractor on the South Wales Railway, has had two valuable horses killed, and one seriously injured within the last fort- night, on the works, near this town. Six vessels laden with permanent iron rails for the Vale of Neath Railway, arrived at Neath pn Friday afternoon.

FRANCE.—The Paris journals contain speculative articles upon the war with Austria and Piedmont, but as the facts upon which the writers reason are so limit- ed and unauthorised, their conclusions cannot be sup- posed to be altogether decisive. The Socialist papers in Paris assert that the insurrectionary movement, which was intended to break out in that city, was plan- ned by the police. The government officials have, therefore, summoned the proprietors of those periodicals, to communicate the grounds upon which such charge has been made. Sir Charles Napier left Paris on Mon- day, for Marseilles, en route for India. ITALY.—The Piedmontese Gazette of the 23rd gives an official report of two battles, signed by the Minister of War, Ratazzi," which, as might be anticipated, boasts of the great valour, and decided success, of the Piedmontese arms in the first combat, at La Sporzesca, near Vigevano. In the second engagement, which took place in the environs of Mortara, it is stated that the conflict was but of short duration, and that the Pied- montesee troops retired, owing to the shameful dis- persion of the first division," who fled at the commence- ment of the attack, and who are to be proceeded against with the utmost severity of military law. Gen. Ramorino, too, has been arrested for neglect of duty in not guard- ing with sufficient alertness the frontier, which was entrusted to his care. He is to be tried by a court- martial. These accounts, it must be remembered, are entirely one-sided. CAPE OF GOOD HOPE papers to the 25th of January have been received, but they contain no news of general interest. The colony was tranquil, and Sir H. Smith, the Governor, was proceeding most satisfactorily in the discharge of his important duties, devoting all his at- tention to the social, moral, and religious improvement of all who are placed under his rule. THE STANFIELD HALL MURDERS.-A letter from Wymondham states that Mrs. Jermy has lost her reason and will not be able to attend the trial. Eliza Chestney will, it is said, be taken to the court, on a kind of litter, to give her evidence. Rush has subpoenaed Mrs. Bryant, the matron of Wymondham gaol, under whose charge Emily Sandford, or Widow James," has been since her having been committed by the magistrates and a private room has oeen nttect up at Norwich Castle for Mrs. Bryant, Emily Sandford, and her nurse. The trial was expected to commence yester- day. THE MAIL ROBBERIES. -THE CONVICT POOLE.— We hear that Poole is nothing daunted by his sentence. He was heard to say, I played for a high stake, and I have lost, but I am not such a fool as to regret it. If I had the same opportunity I should do the same again." He paid great attention to the witnesses on the trial, and wrote notes to his solicitor, suggesting questions incessantly. A quire of paper, we should say, at least was consumed in this way. His wife was not affected on hearing the sentence. She was in court the whole day.-—Devonshire Chronicle. SIMPLE CAUSE OF DEATH.—We regret to announce the death of Philip Duncombe, Esq., of the Manor House, Great Brickhill, and which is rendered very re- markable by the circumstances under which it occurred. Mr. Duncombe was 64 years of age. The accident which led to the death of the deceased gentleman was the falling of a pair of scissors on his foot about ten days previous to the melancholy event, and although the first medical and surgical aid was procured, it proved unavailing. His loss will be long felt by the poor of this village, to whom he was a kind friend and bene- factor. His only son, who married, we believe, a few years ago, a daughter of Thomas P. Mansell, Esq., one of the members for Northamptonshire, succeeds to the property and estates.—Bucks Advertiser. FRATRICIDE AT LEEDS.—On Monday, an inquest was held at Leeds on the body of William Proctor, who died on Sunday in consequence of a wound in the ear inflicted by a younger brother. The jury found a ver- dict of Manslaughter against Thomas Proctor. JOSEPH HUME'S LIBRARY.—The parliamentary library, in Bryanstone-square, is a perfect phenomenon in extent, methodical arrangement, and accessibility as to what is inside, as well as to the outside. Every blue-book, every stray leaf of every vote-paper, and every scrap of a return, classified, indexed, and annotated in the veteran's own hand for forty years back; so that there is not a single circumstance which has occupied the legislature in any shape during the whole of that period, upon the record of which Hume cannot place his finger on the instant. Long distant be the day, but, when it comes, the sale of Joe's library must challenge national attention, and secure the nation for a purchaser of materials that will feed whole wildernesses of future Macaulays with data for what may be called the private history of the public events of the first half of this cen- tury—data of unimpeachable accuracy, and indubitable honesty, for no man has ever yet been able to impeach the political probity or personal honour of the member for Mon ti-ose. -Liverpool Albion. ADVICE TO YOUNG BARRISTERS.—During the trial of a prisoner for burglary last week, before Mr. Baron Alderson, Mr. Harrison, of Staleybridge, was called for the prosecution (it being the first brief he had held); and in consequence of the mode in which the learned gentle- man examined the witness his Lordship observed, that he wished all his young friends would follow the advice which was given to him by the late Sir William Garrow. When he (Mr. Baron Alderson) first appeared at the bar, he told me," said his Lordship, that no one ought ever to examine his witnesses and look at his brief at the same time. A counsel ought to know from his brief what a witness will say, and then look at the witness as he examines him, and arrange in his own mind, as the examination proceeds, the whole of the facts so as to form a complete and connected narrative. That learned judge was the most exquisite examiner-in- chief that ever appeared at the bar, and it was infinitely more useful to be a good examiner-in-chief than a good cross-examiner the one is useful every day of the week, the other only occasionally." Mr. Overend, who ap- peared for the prisoner, said, I don't think it would be useful to cross-examine now, my Lord;" to which his Lordship replied, He defends a prisoner best who asks the fewest questions." -Globe. A LITERARY CU ItIOSITY. Our Sunderland contem- porary the Herald," says the Gateshead Obserrei-, has received a report in rhyme of the opening of a slit mill" at the Shotley Bridge Iron-works. Those of the London reporters who are paid by the 'line' may borrow a hint (if they will condescend so far) from this pro- vincial performance. A report in short metre' will be, to them, a more profitable production than one in solid prose." We give the closing stanza as a speci- men The plains are covered for miles all round With iron all complete Its magnitude is wonderful, To see it is a treat. The manager, Mr. Forster, We one and all agree, The discipline in the works Is CREDIBLE TO Hr AN OBLIGING WTIITF.WASIlrit.-While at Windsor (United States), I took cold, and was laid up with a fever. I had been in bed three days, when my landlady came into the room. Well, captain, how do you find your- self by this time ?" "Oh, I am a little better, thank you," replied I. 11 Well, I am glad of it, because I wint to whitewash your room for if the colourman stops to do it to morrow, he'll be charging us another quarter of a dollar." But I am not able to leave my room." 11 Well, then, I'll tell him I dare say he won't mind your being in bed while he whitewashes."—New York Paper How TO IloAST PORK.—Mrs. Rock, an actress, be- longing to Covent Garden, about half a celit-urn, ago was very fond of reading novels in bed during the greater part of the day. Her husband brought home a piece of pork on one occasion, and requested that it might be dressed for dinner. What was to he done ? Mrs. Rock could not desist from rending her interesting book, so she pulled the bed close to the fire, and pushing her feet. out at the bottom of it, lay devouring the novel, and, every now and then, made the pork twist round with her great toe When this got the wind of the theatre, there was no end to the gibes and jokes of the actors, and poor Rock was almost roasted to death by them. WAR V. RAILIVAYI,The money annually expended in preparation for war would make 10,000 miles of rail- way a year, at a cost of E20,000 per mile.

The soldier who planted the British colours on the breach of Mooltan, was Colour-sergeant John Bennett, of the 1st Bombay Fusileers, -a volunteer on the occa- sion, who rushed up the breach, planted the union- jack on its crest, and stood beside it until the whole brigade had passed." Fortunately, he escaped with life, though the colour and staff were riddled with balls." At the last meeting for this year of the Board of Guardians of the Aberayron Union, held at their Board Room at Aberayron, on Wednesday last, the 28th inst. It was unanimously resolved that the thanks of the Board be voted to Mr. John Lloyd, of Wernddu, who has been some years guardian for Llanbadarn-tref- Eglwys, and Vice-chairman of the union, for his valua- ble services and regular attendance in the chair during so long a period, with the confident hope that he may enjoy health and leisure to continue such desirable assistance for a long time to come. It was also stated at the same meeting that the Aberayron Union had never once since its formation over-drawn its treasurer, or failed to meet every pecuniary demand (inclusive of the heavy annual instalments of the work-house loan) on the day it was due.
To the Editor of tho Welshman.I
To the Editor of tho Welshman. I SIR,-I was somewhat astonished on reading a letter signed 11 A Ratepayer" inserted in the columns of last week's impression" of your useful paper, suggesting the propriety of building a Lock-up-House at the Ferry Side, and at the absurdity of the reasons urged for doing so for why ? Because two women stole two pennyworth of turnips from a field in the neighbourhood To build a Lock-up at the Ferry Side to scare thieves from a turnip field at Penallt ? What a ludicrous idea! Sir, I am a Ratepayer myself, and a very heavy contributor to the County Stock, and have some recollection of the cost of building the present Llandilo Bridge, which, possibly "A Ratepayer" has already forgotten. Where, let me ask, is the necessity for a Lock-up-IIouse at the Ferry Side more than at Llanstephan, Llanarthney, and Conwil ? I know, though a Ratepayer probably does not, that the: fees for police services in those places respectively are unfortu- nately double what they are at the Ferry Side, thus showing a greater amount of magisterial business in those localities. There is no Lock-up-House at Laugharne— none at St. Clears and Llanboidy, although Petty Sessions are held at the two places, and why there should be one at the Ferry Side I am at a loss to discover, unless it be to saddle the already heavily burdened ratepayers with the payment of a few more hundreds of pounds, besides the keeper's salary, ihe Justices delayed the erection of a Lock-up at the Ferry Side, no doubt wisely considering one was not required, and that if they built one there, they would be called upon, and with better reason, to erect one at each of the places I have mentioned, where the necessity is not named, except at St. Clears. Let their worships hire a house for a Lock-up during the construction of the South Wales Railway if they will, but to purchase a site and build one or to rent one perma- nently is wholly unnecessary. I see no objection to prisoners being kept by the police in custody in their own houses or elsewhere (which is seldom the case), so long as they are kept safely; it is far preferable to immuring a perhaps innocent person in the cell of a Lock-up, certainly a more humane method of treating an unconvicted prisoner, and less objectionable to the party apprehended, while it prevents persons clothed with a little brief authority from exercising, as it sometimes happens, a too harsh contrcul over the liberty of others. Yours, & c., GREY COAT. [The above was unavoidably omitted last week. — ED. W.]

In this case the party went was T. T homas, Esq., Llanfair, Llandissil, executor 'of the last will and testament of Capt. David Thomas 13"yen Dades, of Maesyoigiau, in this county. The Dar^i ?Pondent, Margaretta Bowen Nicholls, wife of Da V\ Fryer Nicholl, Esq., and sister of deceased, en- tere a ???'cat against the will, and the party agent th ? f cited her to show cause why the ?'" ?'?'"? tao/ be Proved per testes. Accordingly both parties at- tenft ? P???? ??- <M<?. Accordingiy both parties at- At 12 "I?IOCI, the proceedings were commenced, and on the Part of the party agent, Mr. Ben Evans, Newcastle- ji jn, deposed that he drew up the will in question. e proved the due execution of it, and that deceased of sound mind and memory at the time. The other eS^lnS fitness to the will was WIHiam Davies, a sh ? ?? ?' in the ?'"P?y of Mr. Marshall, of the Belle V-e ll-t('l Aberystwith, who deposed that he was at Maesycrigi. on the 17th of May last, and that he went to on that niaht. After having been in bed for a short t' night. After haviiig been in bed for a short "16' was aroused and conducted to the par- OUr Wh h 1 I.. l°Ur wk"ere he saw two gentlemen, one reclining on a gQja' apparently unwell, and the other standing near him. Th ???eman on the sofa, whom he did not know, t0 Identified the gentleman who was standing "I if Mr. Evans,) took a pen, and witness saw tlis hand ?o?'?g over the paper, as if he was wri- tl. llg* "?P!*per was then handed by the sick gentle- ftiin t the other gentleman, and the former then said 'som ?* ?-S. but what it was witness was unable to catch. jjr p a«s then signed his name on the will and witness ajgQ si re his name both signatures being made in te reSenCe of the testator, and in the presence of each ^her ?? cross-examination of this witness, he sai A. ?? could not swear that he saw testator sign hia ?e, but that he saw a pen in his hand, as before ? ed, moving above the paper. He, however, identified his 0VVn handwriting on the will, and also swore that 5jla^ Was the ?entical paper which was signed by Mr. Eva *?' and over which he saw the sick gentleman move t he pen. Dr. Lawrence, John Thomas, Esq., Surgeon, D Llandissi), R. J. Dansey, Esq., Glanyrafon, Li"ndissil and George Wood, Esq., St. Clears, were also severally examined as to the capacity of the tes- tat ?? each proved him to have been of sound and disn °S mind. One of the witnesses declared that Cant' D avies was a person of great natural ability and ?nd ?"'?ce of character, and observed that he was the ???rnanintheworld to be persuaded contrary to his '?? deliberate opinion, or conviction. Mrs. Nicholl, it f v. be stated, opposed the probate of the will, ,ill'OrL three distinct grounds. First, that it was not a fre spontaneous act of deceased, but procured by cot?'°" and undue influence. Secondly, that the tes- th'°<li ?? not in a capacity to make a will at a!) and tt?h. ?")i that the will in quetion was not properly exe- cut fi according to the 9th section of the statute of W1 s> After the testimony on behalf of the party sent had closed, comprising as it indubitably did the eVence of gentlemen of the very highest respectability d credibility, Mr. Rees, who was proctor for the party Pendent, (although 12 witnesses had been sworn on ? s)de) abandoned the two first objections, and rested his ?upon the third, being the assertion that the will Snotduly executed. This course was adopted upon th e assumption that the testimony of William Davies Proved that the testator had not signed the will in the Presence of two witnesses, as required by the Act. Mr. LL ,,via Monis, in reply, argued that the will had been it°erly executed in the presence of two witnesses, and cit J several cases to that effect.
