CARMARTHENSHIRE. I John Wilson, charged with having on the 24th of October, stolen various articles of wearing apparel, the property of William Thomas and others of Abercrvrhan, in the parish of Llanfair ar-y-bryn, was enrnmivted on Saturday last, by John Jones, Esq for tri4 at the I next Quarter Sessions. MUNICIPAL ELECTION —The annual election of Councillors for this Borough took place yesterday, under more than ordinary excitement, consequent upon the the number of gentlemen offering themselves as can- didates for the most sweet voices" of the electors being more than usually abundant. In the Eastern Ward four candidates appeared to contest for the palm of su- periority, while in the Western Ward seven competitors canvassed the suffrages of the burgesses. The poll was opened at nine o'clock, the respective Wards being pre- sided over by Aldermen W. G. Thomas, and T. T. Webb, aided by Messrs. J Timniins, T. Wilton, R. Harries, and R. Chase as assessors. The contest continued with the most unabated vigour until four o'clock, when the poll was closed the following was the number of votes for each gentleman:- EASTERN WARD. Dr. Bowen. 195 Mr. P. G. Jones 191 Mi. Gp<>rge Davies .141 Mr. John ilowell 96 Mr. Thomas Jones 7-! WESTERN WARD. Mr. Lewis Morris. 136 Dr. Lawrence. 112 Mr. James Rowlands 106 Mr. NVilliam Jones 100 Mr. G. Goode. 84 Mr. John Davit's 71 Mr. John Adams. 19 The three first-named gentlemen in each list are accordingly elected. The excitement throughout the day in the neighbourhood of the Guildhall was intense, and has rarely been exceeded by that consequent upon a contested County or Borough election. Caj olery, treating, and manoeuvres of every description were openly resorted to by all parties, and a constant turmoil pervaded the town throughout the day. The poll will be declared on Saturday, and duubtless there will be a large attendance of the rate-payers to judge of the oratorical powers of the various successful com- petitors. A HINT FOR TOWN COUNCILS.-Last week, the Mayor of Lichfield, gave a sumptuous entertainment to the Recorder, in the Guild-hall, which was numerously attended-in fact all the noblemen and gentry of that ancient city being present. The Learned Recorder in responding to the proposal of his health, observed that it was a great evil in all communities for party spirit and personal rancour to exist." The Mayor, in reply to his friend's speech, expatiated upon the beneficial effects of Corporate feasting, as tending to develope harmony and good feeling. He continued by stating that he remembered very well at the time of the passing of the municipal bill, the old corporation were in possession of a vast many goods and chattels there was now nothing left but the mace" and the Ashmo- lean cup." There used to be a cellar, and many of them had heard, but very few tasted of the Golden-Sherry" (cheers ) but as soon as the bill passed,— A change came o'er the spirit of the dream," and everything was sold. (Laughter.) The old corpo- ration died sincerely lamented. (Laughter.) When the last bottle of old crusted port was brought into that room. so inspired was a friend of his, and an alderman of that day, that he exclaimed,— When shall we all meet again, Dead and dying Aldermen! Now's the time to floor the liquor, Drink the cellars dry the quicker Freemen, let us drink and die." (Laughter.) These words had been handed down as a sort of heir-loom, and to this day were upon the minute book of the present corporation. The Mayor concluded by saying it was a proud moment for him to see his friends met upon that occasion and he could say that the COllncilhad acted so harmoniously during the past year, that not a single division had taken place, which he thought would be considered a very great marvel in that city. (Great cheers.)" CARMARTHEN TOWN COUNCIL.-On Iloudaylast a Special Meeting of the Municipal authorities of this Borough was held in the Guildhall, at which there were present :—John Lewis, Esq., Mayor, Aldermen J. G Philipps, W. Morris, W. G. Thomas, J. Jenkins; Coun- cillors E. B. Jones, J. Howell, B. Jones, and J. L. Philipps. The meeting was called for the purpose of receiving tenders respecting the reparation of the Pa- rade Wall, and the various offers of the competing tradesmen having been read, it was ordered that the tender of Thomas Thomas, mason, of Lammas-street, be accepted, and the work performed in conformity with the surveyor's specification, and under his superintendence —so much of the wall as is in an insecure state to be pulled down and rebuilt. The tender of William Howell and Thomas Thomas, for repairing and altering some of the sheds of the New Market according to the specification of the surveyor, was accepted. The meet- ing then separated. WATCH COMMITTEE.—A meeting of the Watch Committee for this Borough was held on Monday last for the purpose of electing a Constable in the room of Thomas Burnhill, discharged. There were present The Mayor, Aldermen Win. Morris, W. G. Thomas Councillors J Adams, E. B. Jones, B. Jones, Charles Biigstocke, and J. L. Philipps. Upon the recommen- dation of Mr. Superintendent Kentish, John Phillips, cooper, of Priory Street, was appointed to the vacant situation. CARMARTHEN POLICE.—On Fiiday last, before J. Lewis, Esq., Mayor, J. G. Philipps, E. H. Stacey, W. Morris, and D. Davies, Esqrs.—David Davies, liquor merchant, Queen Street, was charged upon the com- plaint of P.S. John Davies, with allowing parties to play at billiards in his billiard room, on the Sabbath Day. P.C. Wm. Jones deposed that about half-past 3 o'clock on the morning of the previous Sunday, he received information, and in consequence of it he went to the Billiard Room kept by defendant- Hearing parties inside, he knocked at the door, and continued doing so for half an hour, but could not gain admission. About 4 o'clock, he went in through the house of Mr. Herbert Evans, to the yard, next door but one to the Billiard Room. He then heard parties playing and singing in the Billiard Room. He got upon a ladder, and could see the motions of persons playing billiards, and heard their voices. Herbert Evans threw a few cinders at the window, and called out that it was time for the persons to desist playing, as it was nearly half-past 6 o'clock. They then stopped playing. He (P.C. Jones) waited outside the door till past 6 o'clock, but no one came out, and he then went to report the occurrence to his Serjeant. On Cross-examination by Mr. T. Parry, (who appeared for the defendant), witness said that he was positive there were two persons in the Billiard Room. Defendant lived at a distance from the house in which the Billiard Room is kept. Herbert Evans, a shoemaker, residing next door to the rooms in question, fully corroborated the constable's evidence, and added that after his departure, he (witness) went to bed, but was disturbed at 7 o'clock, by parties singing in the yard. He opened his window and spoke to the persons, when defendant's son, who was one of them, told him he should like to have a slap at him." The other person was a son of Mr. Evans, of the Lamb and Flag, Queen- street. For the defence, Edward Davies, (son of the defendant,) deposed that his father was in bed on Sa- turday night, and had been so all that and the two previous days. The Billiard Room was closed on Saturday night at a quarter or half an hour past 11. He was locked out from home that night, and afterwards went to the Billiard Room in company with Isaac Evans. His father and mother did not know that he was there, and he had taken the key of the room from the window without their knowledge. Another person was there, and they lit a fire and one of the lamps. There was no playing at billiards, how- ever, as neither of the parties there could play, nor could billiards be played with one light. There was no game played after the room was first locked up. He did not hear the policeman. David Jones, marker at the billiard room, proved locking the door at the time named, and that he did not go to the room afterwards. Herbert Evans being recalled said that he saw the last witness passing from the billiard room to the yard on the Sunday morning in question about half-past three o'clock. Mr. Pope, the guard, also saw him. Edward Davies was inside the billiard room. He and the other young man had two cocks in the yard and were talking of challenging any cock in the town to fight, The case was then adjourned for a week for the purpose of pro-- curing further evidence on both sid. On Saturday, before the Mayor, David Jones, charged with drunken- ness, by P. C. Wm. Jones, confessed the fault, and was fined 5s. and costs. On Monday, before the Mayor, W. Morris, and J G. Philipps. Esquires, John Davies, was charged with drunkenness, and discharged with a repri- mand. Margaret Davies, charged with vagrancy, was committed to the House of Correction tor 14 days. On Wednesday, before John Lewis, Esq., Mayor, and E. H. Stacey, Esq., John Thomas, smith, commonly known as Jacky Llew, was charged with being drunk and dis- orderly, and violently assaulting P. C. Woozley while conveying him to the station-house. Fined 10s. and costs, and in default, committed to the House of Cor- rection for 14 days. CARMARTHEN PETTY SESSIONs.-On Saturday last, before J. E. Saunders, D. Prythrrch, David Davies, and J. G. Philipps, Esquires.-Elizabetl& Ed?vat-(Is, Closeuchaf, Llanddarrog, charged John Treharne with a breach of the peace on the night of the 20th ult. Complainant stated that defendant struck her on the head with a chain, and threatened to send her to eter- nity. Defendant was bound over to keep the peace for 6 rnonths.-Evan A?-thit?-, boatman, of the Ferry Side, was charged with having assaulted Henry Jones, of St Ishmael, on the 19th ult. It appeared that the quar- rel originated in a dispute respecting some fishing nets which defendant broke. Fined 5s. for the damage done to the nets, and 10s. 6d. costs. Paid. 0 Most of our readers will be glad to learn that Mr. E. Davies, the talented sculptor of the statue of the late Gen. Nott, whose Monument it is intended to erect in this town, and of the bust of the Lord Bishop of the Diocese of St. David's, recently placed in the Shire-hall, is reaping fresh honours, and deservedly gaining popular tributes of applause in other portions of the kingdom. From upwards of 30 competitors, he has had the distin- guished honour of carrying off the premium, and has been commissioned to execute a bronze statue of His Grace the Duke of Rutland, which is subsequently to he erected in Belvoir Castle. The models of the various candidates were exhibited at Leicester for 3 weeks before the day appointed for the decision of the Judges, and Mr. Davies had the satisfaction of carrying off the prize, in consequence of the extraordinarily st/iking likeness he had achieved. TABERNACLE BAPTIST CHAPEL.—On Sunday and Monday last, the anniversary services of the opening of this chapel were duly celebrated. The congregations were both numerous and respectable. The services were respectively celebrated by the Revds. Messrs. Davies and Evans, of Swansea, and Morris, of Betha- bara. The collections, which were in aid of the fund for constructing the Chapel, amounted to upwards of £50. UNION-STREET INDEPENDENTCH-IPEL —The second anniversary of the opening of the above chapel was held on Sunday and Monday the 28th and 29th ult. when Sermons were delivered on the occasion by the Re»s. J. Williams, Llangadock, J. Evans, Capel Sion, S. Thomas Newport, T. Davies. Llandilo, W. Jenkins, Capel Evan, and T. Jones, Hermon. The devotional parts of the services were conducted by the Revs. S. Thomas, Neport, J. Evans, Capel Sion, and J. Owens Peneadyr. The sermons were highly interesting and I impressive, and the different congregations evinced a deep christian feeling. The several collections amounted to £ 40 12s. 6d. I LLANDILO POLICE.—A LATTER DAY SAINT IN TROUBLE.—On Saturday last, Benjamin Evans, of Cwmaman, in the parish of Bettws, hawker, was charged before the-Rev. D. H. T. G. Williams, and J. L. Tho- mas, Esq., by John Edwards, Inspector of the Llanellv and Llandilo Railway, with trespassing on that line this Saint having a propensity to covet his neighbours goods, and had been previously cautioned by the officer, but Benjamin persisting in his prerogative as a Saint, he was fined five shillings and costs. BRISTOL BANKRUPTCY COURT.—In the matter of Grylls, Stubbs, and Cousens.— The audit meeting in this long pending matter came on for hearing on Wednesday, the 25th ult., before Mr Commissioner Stephen, when Mr. Wasbrougb, of Bristol, and Mr. Grove, of Llanelly, Solicitors, appeared on behalf of the estate. The object of the creditors being to prove that the estate had been most shamefully mismanaged, and a very great and un- necessary expenditure incurred. Witnesses were called to support the creditor's case amongst whom was Mr. R. W. Cousens, of Llinelly, one of the bankrupt's sons, who underwent a very lengthy examination, clearly proving that a considerable expenditure had been made over and above what was necessary, and that the pre- mises were kept open a far longer time than was requi- site for the completion of the work in hand. Mr. Link- later rose to address the Court, when the Commissiouer said that unless he had counter evidence to bring for- ward that it would be only wasting the time of the Court, and he could not hear him as a case of this kind could only be met by evidence. Mr. Linklater having stated he had no evidence to bring forward, immediately sat down when the Commissioner directed the assignee to file on or before the 14th day of day of November, a more correct account. The audit meeting was then adjourned to the 20th of November for that purpose, at the expense of the assignee. CATTLE FAIRS have been held at Narberth on the 26th, and Abergwilly on the 27th ult. An immense number of stores were shewn at each place fresh con- ditioned steers and heifers were in fair demand at a small advance in price, whilst small lean cattle were scarcely noticed; in fact those disposed of were at lower prices than they have been sold for .during the last fifty years. Fat cows and oxen continue compa- ratively scarce, and sell at late rates. We have no alteration to notice in horses, sheep, and pigs. THE NEW BISHOP OF LLANDAFF. The Globe of Monday announced the gratifying fact that a person possessing a knowledge of the Welsh language had been nominated Lord Bishop of Llandaff, in the fol- lowing terms We are happy to be enabled to state possitively that Dr. Ollivant will be the new Bishop of Llandaff." Some of the English newspapers, in no- ticing the appointment of Dr. Ollivant to the vacant Bishopric of Llandaff, do not notice the IMPORTANT fact that he is perfectly conversant with the Welsh lan- guage, and has held Welsh livings (those of Llangeler and Bettws-bledrws) for several years, when he preached in the Welsh language during his residence, at vacation time, at St. David's College.

N,, PEMBROKESHIRE. I PEMBROKE DOCK. -The following appointments have taken place here, consequent upon the paying off the Royal Sovereign, yacht, and commissioning the Saturn, 74, as a guard ship in her place. Capt. Sir Thomas Pasley and all the officers have been turned over to the Saturn, except the parser, Mr. Edward Harries (who has been succeeded by Mr. Horton, purser, R. N.), and Mr Bowen, the boatswain, by Mr. Easterhood. They have not yet commenced breaking up the Royal yacht, but will very shortly do so to the great regret of the numerous visitors to the arsenal, as she was one of the principal objects of attraction to pleasure tourists. Lieut. Hines, R.N and the coast guard party at this place under this command have been removed to Hobo's Point, where they are in future to be stationed, the Board of Admiralty having directed the premises con- structed for the use of the Mail steam-packets formerly plying between this and Waterford to be fitted up for their accommodation. What a serious loss for this and the adjoining counties was the abolition of the packet-station, and that too without a struggle by iu- fluential persons, concerned alike as landed proprietors, and in the accommodation of those engaged in com- mercial pursuits. The postal arrangements with the South of Ireland are sadly interrupted and delayed-in fact no letter can reach even-Waterford, not more than a hundred miles distant, but by the circuitous route of Dublin. Surely, when the opening of the South Wales Railway takes place, even to Swansea, some steps will be taken towards re-establishing a direct postal com- munication between this and Waterford. There can be no doubt that such will be the event whft the line is completed, for whether via Fishguard and Wexford or not, Milford and Waterford will be so united. But then it is hard to have to wait so long, for it must be years before the completion of the line is accomplished, and there can be but little doubt that a movement now in the right direction would effect desirable improve- ments. There is a tide in the affairs of man-(aye. and in those of principalities too)—which taken at the flood, &c." The Martello towers in progress of con- struction for the protection of the Dock-yard are not proceeding so rapidly as could be wished, from the una- voidable detention of materials. One, however, is up to the first floor, and the other to the basement line. The following are the officers in command at this ar- senal :—Capt. Sir Thomas Pasley, Bart., as Superin- tendent of the Royal Dock-yard Lieutenant-Colonel Pilcher, R-M. Commandant of the garrison, Lieutenant- Colonel Victor, R.E. of the Ordnance district.

CARDIGANSHIRE. LA.NIPHTER :-SUDDLiq DEATIIS.-OU Friday, the 26th ult., an inquest was held by William Lloyd, Esq., coroner, on the body of a child, the daughter of a la- bour residing at. Drefach, near Lampeter and on the following day an inquest was held by the same coroner, on the body of a sister of the same child. The jury in both cases returned a verdict of Died by thp visitation of God." These sudden deaths caused some alarm in the neighbourhood, it having been reported that the children had died of cholera, but it affords us great gra- tification to be able to state from the evidence of the medical men, that the cases were not attended by any of the symptoms of that epidemic.

AnERYSTWJTn POLICE COURT.-Before John Miller, Esq., mayor, anu David Edwards, Esq ex-Mayor.—- On Tuesday last, two working men, John Whitaker, and Wm. Scolefield, were brought before the above ma- gistrates, by P. C. J. Morgans, charged with being on Sunday night last drunk and disorderly, and having assaulted him in the discharge of his duty, from the effects of which he was lame. The constable stated that this was not their first offence of the same nature. The magistrates immediately fined the prisoners i£2 each, SINGULAR CAPTURE OF A CITA"B -Last week ayoung boy, son of a labourer, residing near Tregaron, placed a night-line in the Tivy for the purpose of capturing eels. Next morning some persons happening to pass by the place where the line was placed, pulled it up and threw it on the bank. Subsequently the boy going to seek his line, found it was gone. About two days afterwords the attention of some men working near the spot was drawn to a crane standing near. Perceiving that the creature scarcely moved, they went to it in order to ascertain the cause, and easily caught the bird, which had swallowed the boy's line and hook and all, for there was an eel fast to it, as also a large piece of wood stuck fast in his throat, which the crane could not manage to gulp so easily as the eel. LLANDWEYVI BflEFI CHARITY SCHOOL. A very numerous and respectably attended meeting was held in the School-room of the above place on the 27th ult. for the purpose of raising funds to erect a proper School- room in lieu of the present one, which is a disgrace to any parish in Wales. After several resolutions were agreed upon, a Committee was formed to obtain sub- scriptions W. Evans, Esq., Garth, was appointed treasurer, and Mr. Charles Morgan, draper, secretary. They will of course be thankful for any aid which may be forwarded by donations either to them or the Rev. Timothy Evans, officiating minister of the parish. ABERYSTWITII MUNICIPAL ELECTION.—On the 1st instant, an election of 4 Town Councillors of the above borough, took place at the Town-hall, in the room of Messrs. Wm. Williams, Joseph Roberts, and John Evans, St. Alichael's Place, u-bo were duly re-elected, and F. ll. Roberts, Esq, was duly elected in the room of Lewis Jones, Esq., who retires in consequence of ill health. SEIZURES OF MALT.—On Friday last, Messrs. Ste- phens and Monk, officers of the Inland Revenue sta- tioned in Cardigan, seized a quantity of illicit malt which had been deposited in an uninhabited house, the pro- perty of Missg Thomas, grocer, in that town. The officers were, however, perfectly saii.-stied that Miss Thomas had not the slightest knowledge of the circum- stance until they informed her. On Monday last, a very extensive seizure of malt was made by the same officers on some premises in the Mivldan in the occu- p" ion of Mrs. Hannah Davies, widow. CARDIGAN MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS.—The following gentlemen were elected without opposition, Messrs. J. L. Nugent, James Smith, Thomas Windsor, and J. S. Evans. NEW BAPTIST CHAPEL, CARDGAN.—On Thursday last, being the second anniversary of the opening of this chapel, public services was performed then and on the following day. Subscriptions collected for the benefit of the funds of the chapel, amounting to about £ 50. ACCIDENT.—On Monday last, a young man was driving a light cart and horse towards the Aberayron road, and oil approaching the turnpike gate, he lashed the horse in order, it is supposed, to evade the toll, when the horse sprang forward, from the effect of which the young man lost his balance and fell to the ground, the wheel passing over him. Fortunately the carl was empty, or serious consequences might have ensued. The young man sustained no further injury than being temporarily stunned, and soon afterwards resumed his journey. CARDIGAN HUNT WEEK.—The commencement of the hunting season with the Tivy-side hounds, took place on Monday last, when the meet was at Windy Hill, but after several unsuccessful efforts, they were unable to find, and the field returned blank. On Wednesday the hounds again met at Noyadd, with a very good field of the right sort., and after a short delay a small fox was started with the merry tones of the pack which caused the hopes of the votaries of Nimrod to beat high; but here again disappointment attended them, for the small fox proved much too great a fox, "^having succeeded in snugly ensconcing himself in a covered gutter at Noyadd, from which no efforts of the huntsman or hounds were sufficient to dislodge him. On Tuesday evening a com- paratively small but brilliant assemblage of some of the elite of the most distinguished families and residents of the three adjoining counties, took place at the Assembly Rooms of the Black Lion Hotel on the occasion of the first hunt week ball this season in the county. The rooms were elegantly and tastefully lighted up. Dan- cing commenced about half-past ten, and was con- tinued with much spirit throughout the right. Amongst the company present we noticed the following ladies and gentleman :-J. T. W James, Esquire, of Pant- saison, and Mrs. James Mrs. "V aughan, of Llangoed- more, and the Misses Vaughan, Mr. aughan Miss James, of Haverford west; Lieut. riopmns, lirecon; Capt.

Battersby, Esq., the stewards, W. H. Lewis, James Bowen, Trocdyraur, John Colby, Tho- mas Davies, R. D. Jenkins, Thomas Morgan, J. J. De Winton, William De Winton, Henry De Winton, W. R. H. Powell, Maesgwynne, Leach, Lewis, Harries, and D. Davies, Esquires; Captains Protheroe, Douglas, Prichard, and Lloyd, Lieut. Townsend, and Dr. Jones. The dinner, dessert, &c., which was prepared under the able superintendence of Mr. Watkins, of Ha- verfordwest, consisted of every delicacy of the season, A second dinner and ball took place yesterday, which we purpose duly noticing next week. CARDIGAN.—CHARGE OF SHOPLIFTING.-On Wednes- day last, two young men, tramps, were brought before the mayor Wm. Phillips, Esq., charged with having on the previous evening, stolen about forty yards of printed calico, from the shop of Mr. David James, a draper, residing in this town. It appeared from the tes- timony of Mr. James, that two men who he thought were the prisoners, came to his shop about dusk on the previous evening, and begged for some pence, and in turning to leave the shop, the taliest of the two took a piece of print from a pile of goods which stood in the shop. Mr. James stated he suspected the theft at the moment, and raised an alarm, but as there was no one in the shop with him, he could not go after them, and the men got away. He then gave information to the police, who informed him that they had apprehended the two prisoners on the Abcrayron road, with the stolen property in their possession. Mr. James identified the property. The prisoners were committed to the next Quarter Sessions for trial.

GLAMORGANSHIRE. THE ANNUAL PLOUGHING MATCH in connection with the Swansea Farmers' Club, took place on Thurs- day last, in a field at Parkyrhedin, Gower, a farm oc- cupied by Mr. Jenkins. Eighteen teams started-16 driven by men and two by boys. The judges were, Mr. Avery, of Yniscedwyn, and Mr. Gordon, of Llwynybwch. All having completed the tasks allotted to them, the judges then proceeded to view the work, nearly the whole of which was certainly executed in a superior manner. The first prize was awarded to Thos. Austin, ploughman to J. H. Vivian, Esq. the second pr:ze to David Long, in the employment of Mr. Wm. Davies, of Penyi-alit the third prise to Wm. TaU, employed by C. Morgan, Esq., of Caeforgoan. The judges commended the work executed by Stephen Jeffreys, Penywern, and John Ball, son of Mr. Ball, of Kilvrough.

NEATH PETTY SESSIONS.—These sessions were held on Friday, before G. Llewellyn and F. E. Leach, Esqrs. -John Dnniels and IV. John, masons, Neath, were charged with trespassing in pursuit of game, on the lands of T. Place, Esq. Convicted in the penalty of E2 8s. each, including costs. Paid.— Thos. Morgan, of Briton-ferry, sub-contractor, was charged by Francis Richards, Neath, with non-payment of wages, amount- ing to 18s. Gd. Ordered to pay 158., amount actually due, together with costs.—Defendant was also charged with non-payment of £1 6s. 9d. due to the last com- plainant's father, who stated that he agreed with defen- dant to work for 3s. a day, but defendant alleged that he only agreed to pay him 2s. 9d. a day. However, a witness was called, who deposed to hearing the agree- ment, that complainant was to receive 3s. a day. Ordered to pay the amount with costs, or three months impri- sonmt'nt.-George Walters, of Forehdwm, was charged by Wm. Adams, gamekeeper, to H. J. Grant, Esq., (itioll Castle, with poaching on the property of Mr. Grant. Before the case proceeded, Mr. Hargreaves, who appeared for the prisoner, asked permission to see the information, and made an objection, that inasmuch as the magistrates had not signed the information, the case could not he heard. Mr. Llewellyn But Mr. Hargreaves, it will save trouble to hear the case at once, instead of issuing a fresh summons. Mr. Hargreaves declined acceding to this, and the case was dismissed.— Caroline Morgans, a girl under 14 years of age, was charged with stealing a quantity of wooden patterns, the property of the Neath Abbey Iron Company. The magistrates did not wish to send her for trial, but find her 10s. and costs. The mother promised to pay the amount on Friday next, and the prisoner was given up to her mother, who promised to take care of her in future.— Wm. Oliver was brought up, and appeared in a beastly state of intoxication, charged with violently kicking a little boy in Church-place, Neath. Evan Davies, a special constable of the borough, proved that defendant was walking down Church-place, with a large bulldog following him; that the boy was passing when the prisoner kicked the little fellow in a brutal manner. On giving the boy 10s. the defendant was discharged. BRECON.—Our correspondent yesterday writes We are engaged to-day in the severest contest for municipal honours that has been experienced here for many years past. Several most amusing squibs have been issued, which have probably had effect upon the electors. Party strife, however, was rife throughout the day." A WHIPPER-IN DROWNED WHILE IIUNTINo.-On Monday the 22nd instant, when the houuds of Sir W. W. Wynn, Bart.. were hunting, the fox took the liver, and the whipper-in (Mr. James Shaw), who, with his horse, plunged into the River Dr-e, near Nant-y-bellan Tower, at New Bridge, for the purpose of crossing, the hounds being in full cry, was drowned. The horse, it appeared, jumped upon k large stone, and fell over into a very deep part of the river, throwing the rider. The body was soon after recovered and on that day an inquest was held before B. H. Thelwall, Esq. A verdict in accordance with the evidence was returned. Deceased was much respected by the gentlemen who hunted with Sir Watkin's hounds.

THOMAS MORTON.—The medical profession and the public generally will regret to learn that this estimable gentleman expired, suddenly, at his residence, Woburn-placr, Russell-square, on Tuesday morning, in the 36th year of Itis tge. Mr. MOrlon was deservedly well known to the medical profession by his numerous and valuable contributions to the advance- ment of science. The lamented deceased succeeded his illustrious relative, the late Mr. Cooper, the author of the Surgical Dictionary, as surgeon to the Queen's Bench rfison,and at the time of his decease held also the appointment of assistant-surgeon to the University College Hospital. Mr. Morton was admitted a member of the Royal College of Surgeons on the 24th of July, 1835, and so highly were this young man's professional acquirements esteemed that he was elected by the Council an honorary fellow of the institution. Mr. Morton leaves a widow, the only daughter of the lak Mr. Samuel Cooper, and a large body of friends to do pi o: t 111 e great loss they have sustained ia the death of 1\ i,»>• ia 1 v rising aud DIOt amiable mend er of the pruiesaion.

LITERARY NOTICES. I ELIZA COOK'S JOURNAL for November has the most powerful claims upon the sympathy of all true promoters of the progressive intellectual and industrial education of the working classes. Of all publications, (not even excepting perhaps that pioneer of advancement, Cham- bers' Journal), this is paramountly the most beneficial and amusing. Whether for instructive tales, amusing narrations, delightful poetry, or "diamond dust" of the first water, we can but look upon Eliza Cook's Journal as productive of the most pleasing and promising sen- sations. It is undoubtedly well contrived and excellently executed.. BENTLEY S MISCELLANY FOR NOVEMBER.—This is one of the most interesting serials ever published bv Mr. Richard Bentley. The lighter tales are exceedingly mtercstmg-morc so than usual-wlii.e the more serious portions of the part are peculiarly worth perusal. Professor Creasy's tales of the Battles of the World, increase in interest, as does also the Note Book of a Coroner's Clerk." The Bye Lanes and Downs of Merry England, are, as we have previously remarked, rather too replete with slang for general perusal. The Tales of Old" is a masterly production, and the various other articles in the Magazine, are each so peculiarly interest- ing, that we may be allowed to state that Bentley's Miscellany is in an evident state of transition for the better.
