A meeting of the inhabitants of Tenby, con- vened by public notice, was held in the Town-hall on Tuesday last, for the purpose of taking measures for establishing a public Reading Room by subscription, the town being at present without one. The chair was taken by the Rev. W. 11. Cox, who opened the proceedings by reading the notice convening the meeting. After a lengthened conversation, it was unaniinouslv resolved that a Reading Room should be established, and that the chairman should apply to the corporation of Tenby for the use of a eoom for that purpose. The meeting then separated. NEWPORT.—Among the several municipal elections that are now taking place for mayors in the various cities and boroughs of the united kingdom, not one of the least inter- esting occurred in the littlcfseaport town of Newport, on Tuesday, the 2Gth ult., and a brief account of it may per- haps not prove uninteresting to some of our readers as affording one of the most curious relics of feudalism still extant. This town and castle situated on the coast of Pem- brokeshire, twenty miles from Haverfordwest, was founded by Martin de Tours," a companion in arms of William the Conqueror, who obtained by conquest a large tract of coun- try called Kemes," which by the permission of his sove- reign he erected into a Palatine Barony, exercising within his jurisdiction (subject to feudal homage to the Crown) all the Juria Regalia, that at the time appertained to the English Monarch and his successors as Lord of Kernes sat for many generations in Parliament as Peers of the Realm in virtue of this tenure, as their writs of summons in the tower now prove. Martin made Newport the head place in his barony, where he built a castle and granted a "Chartcr of Incorporation" to his burgesses, reserving to himself and bis heirs the appointment of Mayor." On Tuesday, the 26th ult., the Mayor, Aldermen, and Burgesses of the bo- rough assembled in Council, and according to the custom of eight centuries submitted the names of three gentlemen to the present Lord of the Barony of Kemes, Thomas Davies Lloyd, of Bronwydd, in the County of Cardigan, Esquire, the 23rd lineal descendant and representative of Martin de Tours, who by virtue of the original charter still in Mr. Lloyd's possession, and which he kindly produced at the meeting, has appointed John Llewhellyn, Esq., mayor of Newport for the ensuing year. The Council which was attended by several of the leading clrrgy and gentry of the neighbourhood sat down afterwards to an excellent dinner at the Llwyngwair Arms. After the usual loyal toasts on such occasions, were drank, the speeches subsequently made, alluded to the municipal privileges, the Council and Burgesses enjoyed, the more peculiar as being the gift of a feudal noble at a period coeval with the earliest dawn of constitutional freedom, but singularly well adapted, still to the erer-expanding wants of the times we live in. SnirwRDCK.—On the 28th ult., the schooner Hawk," of Milford, William Harries, master, sailed with a prosperous breeze from Saundersfoot for Penzance, wind being from the N.E. At 12 o'clock at night tL wind came more to the southward and she could not make her course for Long- ships, the next uay at 3 A.M. the Captain put the ship about for the Welsh coast. The gale gradually increasing from the S.S.E they reefed sails on occasion, the sea running high and the ship making much water, the gale increasing thronghout. At meridian, the foreyard broke in two, the foresail and topsail were blown completely off the bolt ropes at the same time both pumps were constantly going and the sea making a complete breach over the ship. They observed a ship on the wind under close reef canvass, and hoisted a signal of distress, but the ship passed within a quarter of a mile to windward, and rendered them no assistance, the water still increasing on the pumps, which were also choked, and the crew quite exhausted. The wind then split the mainsail, which rendered the ship unmanageable. At 3 40 r.M. the wind shifted to the W.N.W., with a clearer sky, and they observed land about 3 miles off, to the great delight of all on board, the ship still gaining on both pumps and sinking fast. At great risk of their life the crew took to the longboat and landed on the beach under St. Gowan's Head, where they had to remain for upwards of three hours in a hole, in an exhausted state, and could not go to the main land owing to the tide being in. In about three hours, however, they came safe to the main land having saved but very little of their wearing apparel. NARBEnTH.-At a Special Sessions, held at the Town-hall on Wednesday, before W. B. Swann, G. L. Phillips, J. L. G. P. Lewis, and S. P. Allen, Esquires.—Mr. John Thomas, District Surveyor of the Narberth Board, was summoned by W. Gwynne, Esq., of Lampeter, for the non repair of a certain highway in the district. Mr. Davies contended that the road in question was not a highway, and the case was dismissed. Mr. W. Davies, of the firm of Rees and Davies, Solicitors, Haverfordwest, appeared on behalf of the parish officers. Mr. Edward Jones, District Surveyor of the Llaw- haden Board, was summoned by S. P. Allen, Esq., of Cres- selly, for the non-repair of a certain highway in, the district. Mr. L. Phillips opposed this case, contending; that the road was not a highway; but the bench ordered the road to be indicted. These cases excited great interest owing to their being the first under the new Act. AN INVOLUNTARY BATII.-Between 11 and 12 o'clock on Monday night hst, Mr. residing not a hundred miles from St. David's, being on business at Haverfordwest, was returning to his lodgings on the Quay, but having made too free with the juice of Sir John Barleycorn, he wended his way in mistake along Victoria Place to the New Bridge, and having turned towards the new Quay at the end of Vic- toria Place, he walked from the pavement into the river Clcddy, a fall of some twelve feet. Fortunately the tide was full at the time, and being a good swimmer, he swam along the Quay for a considerable distance, calling aloud for help, and his calls having attracted the attention of a man help, an d Iiis calls liav i n.- named Venables, the latter succeeded in rescuing him much exhausted from his perilous situation, and ouce more landing him on terra fir ma. RUAEON.—TESTIMONIAL OF RESPECT TO A CLERGYMAN. —A handsome piece of plate was presented by a few of the parishioners on the 12th ultimo, to the Rev. J. Jones, as a token of respect on his leaving the Curacy of Ruabon, for the living of Nevern, Pembrokeshire. KILGARRAN, PEMBROKESHIRE.—At a Petty Sessions for the Hundred of Kilgerran, held at Pontselly, Manordify, on Tuesday last, William George, and David Evans, late over- seers of the 'parish of Manordify, appeared to answer the complaint of Thomas Bowen, Esq., the Auditor of the Cardigan Union, for not paying a balance of jE45 15s. found by him to be due from them as overseers. Mr. W. G. George, of Cardigan, appeared as Attorney for Major Bowen and called witnesses to prove the necessary facts v to support the complaint. The Defendants were ordered to pay the amount chimed with all costs incurred, and in default of the money being paid, to be imprisoned for six months. NEWPORT.—On the 29th ult., a seizure of 13 bushels of smuggled malt was made by Mr. Bridger, Supervisor of Inland Revenue, and Mr. Morgans, officer of the same department, (the latter stationed in this town,) in an old building situate in the parish of Eglwyserw, formerly used as a dwelling for the poor of the parish, part of which is occupied by a pauper named Ann Shelby, who acknowledged that some of the malt belonged to her, and was intended for brewing against Eglwysei w fair. We are told that she is an old offender, but had hitherto escaped detection. We congratulate the above vigilant officers on their success, as they are indefatigable in their exertions to put down smuggling. HAVERFORDWEST MUNICIPAL ELECTION.—The annual election of Town Councillors for this Borough has seldom been characterized by a greater degree of excitement than was evoked at the' recent election for municipal honours. This arose from its being made quite a political affair-a trial of strength, in fact, between the Conservatives and the Liberals-the former no doubt presuming upon their victory :.t the late parliamentary contest, whilst the latter, stung by defeat, were anxious to show their opponents that they were still capable of battling with their foe. Hitherto these municipal contests have been conducted without reference to the political opinions of the different candidates, the persons chosen being generally those who were considered best qualified by their capacity for business, and by their attention to the local interests of the town and these, no doubt, were the proper considerations by which -the electois should be guided in the election of men to represent them at the Council Board. The outgoing rne rubers this year were Messrs. John Phillips, druggist, Walter Reynolds, auc- tioneer, Geo. Parry, solicitor, and John G:ceu, draper. The three former offered themselves for re-election, but Mr. Jno. Green having ceased ts be a resident of the town was ineligible to serve again. Mr. Joiin Harvey, land agent, and Mr. Geo. Phillips, surgeon, were induced to offer them- selves as canditates, under the auspices of the Conservative party, and from the high estimation in which these two gentlemen are held by all classes of their fellow-townsmen, they had no doubt reasonable grounds-that they would have met with success; indeed, the only objection which, we presume, the Liberals could have had to their being returned, was that they differed from them in political opinion, and that they believed the aim of the Conservative party was to gain an ascendancy in the Town Council, To thwart them in this respect, the Liberals organised a Com- mittee, and canvassed tne town in favour of Mr. Alfred Bey- non, Maltster, lIlr. Joseph Marychureh, Mr. John Phillips, Druggist, (the only Liberal of the outgoing members), and Mr. James Phil1ips, Ironmonger. It is right, however, to state that neither of the three last named gentlemen solicited personally a single vote, and it was only a few days before the election, that Mr. Marychuich and Mr. James Phillips were known to be in the field. The tug of war" com- menced on at a Court held at the Shire-hall, before the Mayor, Capt. Butler, and Messrs. Win. Marychureh and John Dawkins, the two Assessors. The polling continued until 4 o'clock in the afternoon, at witichhourhtsWcrshipstatsd"thepoiIwasc)osed." The Hall was by this lime densely crowdcd by a rather noisy assembly, anxious to hear the result of the day's proceed- ing. They were not long kept in suspense ou this pk)iiit. The Mayor and Assessors having, by a judicious arrange- ment, examined the poll-book as the poll was being taken, his Worship was in a position to declare the result within a few minutes after the poll had closed, which was as follows: I Mr. Alfred Bey non 259 Mr. John Phillips 235 Mr. John Harvey 221 Mr. Joseph Marychureh 217 Mr. GrorgePhillips 188 Mr. Walter Reynoids. 165 Mr. James Phillips 127 Mr. George Parry. 110 The Mayor then declared the four first-named gentlemen duly clectcd, and they severally returned thanks for the honour conferred on them. Of the unsuccessful candidates only one, Mr. Walter Reynolds, appeared to thank his sup- porters He attributed his defeat to the voters being tam- pered with. "Orator Thomas" then attempted to address the audience, but as they would not hear him, the Mayor announced that the meeting was dissolved, and it then separated. The Liberal party are proud of the success which has crowned their efforts by returning 3 Liberals against one Conservative. 'J

CARDIGANSHIRE. ABERAYRON.—Mary Evans, who was apprehended on the charge of the wilful murder of her illegitimate child, and remanded till Saturday last, was on that day brought before J. B. Lloyd Philipps, Esq., Mabws, and T. H. Winwooù,! Esq., Tyglyn-ayron, when after a most careful investigation which lasted four hoars, she was committed to Cardigan gaol to take her trial at the next assizes for Wilful Murder. ABERYSTWITII.—A fire broke out on Saturday morning, between the hours of 12 and 1 o'clock, in a cottage adjoin- ing this harbour in Drefechan, in the occupation of Edward Humphreys (mariner). On enquiry it appears that Mrs. Humphreys, and her three children had retired to rest, but between the hours above mentioned she awoke, almost suffocated by smoke. Iler cries brought imme- diate assistance, and they found the bed, mattress, hangings and floor burning. The fire appears to have been caused by the flat iron and stund, which were rolled up in a blanket, the mother having been ironing in the evening previous to retiring to rest. The mother and infant were sadly burnt, and if assistance had not instantly been afforded all four must have peiished. The fire was extinguished but with great difficulty by Mr. Jones the master of the Ann" and John Davies (Pier Man), who had just returned from the Pier. CHARGE OF RonDElty-A petty sessions for the borough of Cardigan, was held at the Town Hall, on the 1st inst., before the Mayor, Thomas Edwards, Esq., and R. D. Jen- kins, Esq., when Sarah Griffiths, the wife of a farmer resid- ing in the parish of Meline, was brought up in the custody of P. C. Robert Harrison, charged with stealing two shawls on the previous Satuiday, from the shop of Mr. William George, Draper Cardigan. It appeared from the evidence of several witnesses; that the prisoner went to Mr. George's shop on Saturday last, and requested to see some shawls, when several parcels were shewn to her by Mr. George's assistant, but, as her conduct excited suspicion, a careful watch was kept upon her, and she was seen to pass something, very rapidly into her pocket. The prisoner declined making any purchase and left the shop precipitately, but was followed immediately and brought back; and upon re- entering the shop part of a shawl was seen appearing from under her dress, and she threw it to a different part of the shop where is was afterwards found, and a smaller shawl was found in her possession. The shawls stolen wete worth sixteen shillings. The prisoner was com- mitted for trial at the next Cardiganshire quarter sessions, but substantial bail was accepted for her appearance. The witnesses were all bound over to prosecute. Messrs. Thos. and Wm. George appeared as attornies for the prosecutor. —Mr. William Jones, of Pendre, Cardigan, afterwards appeared before the same magistrates to prefer a complaint under the act for the recovery of small tenements, against Mr. Nathaniel James, of Pendre, Cardigan, his tenant. Mr. Smith appeared for the defendant. The witness to prove the service of the notice to quit, for the non-observance of which the application was made, failed to prove that the notice to quit was properly served, and Mr. Smith objected to the mode in which the service was statad to have been effected, and that consequently the magistrates had no jurisdiction in the case. The magistrates were of opinion that Mr. Smith's objection was fatal, but adjourned the hearing of the case in order fully to consider the point raised. COMMISSIONS BY THE LOUD LIEUTENANT OF CARDI- GANSHIRE.—ROYAL CARDIGAN AIILITIA.-Secorid Lieute- nant Pierce Evans to be First Lieutenant, vice Watkins, retired Edward Percival Vaughan, Gent., to be First Lieutenant, vice Brinlee, retired Alexander Richards, Gent., to be First Lieutenant, vice Watkins, retired; Richard David Jenkins, Gent., to be First Lieutenant James Morice, Gent., to be Second Lieutenant, vice Evans, promoted; Thomas Dayis, Gent., to be Second Lieutenant.

Several important matters connected with the welfare of the Borough were discussed, and Mr R D. Jenkins introduced two memorials, one to the Post Master General, for ail alteration of one hour, in the departure and arrival of the North Mail, and the other, to the South Wales Railway Directors, for the establishment of a station at Llandissilio, Carmarthenshire; both memorials were cordially approved of, numerously signed, and forwarded for presentation. Mr. David Thomas of Quay Street, was appointed captain of the life boat, for the ensuing winter. It was stated by a' gentleman well qualified to judge of such matters, that the life boat, and all its appliances, are in perfect working condition. ABERYSTWITII.—The Monthly Commissioners' Meeting was held on Tuesday last, Charles Parry, Esq., in the chair, when a full board of Commissioners attended. The only business of any importance was entering into a fresh con- tract with the Gas Company for the ensuing year. At a former meeting, held by adjournment, it was resolved that certain Commissioners be a Committee to meet the Gas Company in order to ascertain their views on the subject. Mr. John Mathews, one of the gentlemen forming that Committee, informed the Commissioners that the Gas Com- pany would furnish gas for Si lamps at f3 5s. per lamp per annum, the Gas Company paying the wages of one lamp- lighter, and the Commissioners to pay the wages of the the second. Mr. Hackney then proposed that the Commis- sioners do not accept the oifer made, and that no gas be consumed for the next 6 months. This was seconded by Mr. Richard Watkins. An amendment was then proposed by Mr. John Cox, and seconded by Mr. John Rees, that the Town Commissioners do accept of the Gas Company's offer of to as. per lamp. The amendment was carncu by a ma- jority of eleven, and this terminated the business.

OVERTON, ESQ.—On Friday, at the Black Bull, on the body of Ellen Collins, aged 32, who was burnt to death on the morning of that day, whilst gathering coals on Cyfarthfa cinder-tip, near Nantygwenith. It appeared in evidence that the bottom of the burning tip gave way, and though the haulier on the top called on de- ceased to run away, she paid no attention to him, and the consequence was that she was buried in the tip, the tram from the top having fallen upon her. It was with great diffi- culty she could be extricated, and she presented a fright- ful appearance. Verdict, "Accidental Death," On Sat- urday, at the Railway Inn, on the body of Griffith Thomas, aged 31, who was killed by a stone in No. 3 pit, Coedcae, Plymouth Works. Verdict, "Accidental death."

I PRESENTATION OF A TESTIMONIAL TO A CLERGYMAN. On Thursday evening, the 28th ult., the congregation of the Welsh established church in Birkenhead, held a meeting for the purpose of presenting their worthy and indefatigable minister, the Rev. J. P. Davies, with a handsome gown, as a mark of their appreciation of his valuable labours in the promotion of their spiritual interests. It being the appointed evening for divine service, the Rev. gentleman read prayers, and the lit" T. Jones, Welsh Minister of St. Paul's, preached an eloquent and appro- priate discourse. A meeting was afterwards held, the chair being occupied by the Rev. Dr. Baylee, principal of St. Adan's College, to whose unwearied exertions the members of that church are indebted not only for the appointment of a minister among them, but also for the fabric in which they assemble. The Rev. Chairman, in the course of an impressive address, said that the chief difficulty he had met with in connexion with the Welsh church, was that of obtaining ministers on the preferment of those labouring among them. But notwithstanding the many changes, he rejoiced, that he had one who, after four years of pious effort as pastor of that interesting ilock, had given encouraging evidence that his labour had not been in vain in the Lord. He need not search for the fruit, it was before him—and it gave him great pleasure to add to their expression of respect, one from himself by the presentation of a surplice; and he prayed to God that his life might be spared to use them in the sacred offices of the church, and that after a long and valuable life, he might close the career of his earthly ministrations with the exclamation of St.Paul-" I have fought the good fight, I have finished my course; I have kept the faith hence- forth, there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day." The Doctor then read the following address from the congregation: To the Rev. John Peter Davies, Clerk. Rev. and Dear Sir,—We, the undersigned members of the Welsh Established Church in Birkenhead, with feelings of gratitude to Almighty God for that measure of success and of His approbation which the great Head of the Church has been pleased to vouchsafe on your Ministerial labours, and for your personal zeal and indefatigable exertions for the promotion of our moral and spiritual welfare, beg most respectfully and cordially that you will accept of the accom- panying gown as a maik of our respectful esteem, and as a taken of our affectionate regard. Praying that God, who is the author of every good and perfect gift, ill leiigtlien your useful and valuable life, and that your labours will be more abundant; that He will continue to bestow a larger measure of His Holy Spirit on all your future ministerial labours, so that thousands will be the seals of your ministry, ayd crowns of your rejoicing on that day when the Judge of fill flesh shall summon you to receive your final reward. We are, on behalf of the Church, your grateful and affec- tionate hearers, John Rathbone Eilis, Robert Hughes, John Jones, William Parry, John Jones. The Rev. J. P. Davies replied :—Dear Dr. Baylee, friends, and fellow countrymen,—I can hardly express in words my deep-felt aud grateful acknowledgements for the handsome and pleasing testimonial jou have just presented me with. When I look back on my ministerial career among you, and rcflcct on my imperfections and numerous deficiencies, I must confess that I ftil inyselsvery unworthy and highly un- deserving to receive such an expression of love and kindness from your hands. At the same time it is very gratifying to my feelings to observe from your conduct this evening that you have appreciated my labours. And if my ministrations have b°on blessed to your immortal souls, it has been because God of His unbounded gooduess has been pleased to perfect His strength in my weakness, and I do hope that my future conduct will be such as to give you entire satisfaction, that you have not conferred this honour upon ail ungrateful ser- vant. And it is my prayer to God that sympathy aid perfect good will may always exist between u, and that, by the grace of God, both you and I, as members of the Catho- lic Church, may be enabled to hold the faith in unity of spirit, in the bond of peace and in righteousness of life. And now, Dr. Baylee, allow me, in the name of this congre gation, to return you our most hearty and grateful thanks for this fresh token uf your kinùnes5 towards the Welsh people, in presenting us with this beautiful surplice. We can never feel too deeply our obligation to you, sir. Had you been born upon some spot within the borders of our dear country, had you been brought up in the custom and habits of the principality, had the pure blood uf the ancient Britons been flowing in jou veins, I firmly believe that we could not have I experienced more sympathy and kindness from your hands. And as regards my own expeiicnce, I am happy to say that your kindness has been unifoim towards me, and I shall be very sorry to see the day dawli when we shall be separated. And now allow me to give my best thanks to the English Sunday School teachers for this kindness, as well as for the great assistance they have given me in the School. I hope that the words they speak to the children placed under their care may take root in their infantme minds, and be nourished and preserved there, that, in time, they may be delighted in observing the fruit of their labouts in seeing them growing as among the grass and as willows by the water courses. The proceedings of the evening were greatly enlivened by the Welsh Choral Society, who sang three fine pieces of music with much taste and precision. After the usual votes of thanks the meeting broke up highly delighted with the evening's proceedings.

MURDER AT PAISLEY We are sorry to hear that a murder was committed in Paisley on Wednesday forenoon, under the following circumstances. A weaver of the name of Andrew or M'Andrew, residing in George-street, having come home tipsy, had been abusing his wife in a most brutal manner, when her cries brought the assistance of an old man of the name of M'Nee a baker, who lived in the same tenement with theni. He ,vas proceeding to remon- strate with him, when M'Andrew attacked him, and having struck him repeatedly in the region of the throat, the old pired. On see i ng the fatal man fell back and instantly expired. On seeing the fatal result of his infatuated conduct the murderer immediately fled, and although the alarm was quickly given, and the police had been out in pursuit of him, we understand he has not yet been discovered.— Greenock Advertiser. TIlE MeRDER OF MR. l\L\.NIl'OLD.-A full meeting of the magistrates of the southern division of the King's County was held in Parsons town on Thursday, the Earl of Rosse presiding, to consider the measures to be taken in referrence to the recent under murder of Mr. Manifold. The proceedings were strictly private. A sum of 9300 was subscribed by those present, in addition to the Government reward of E100, for information which would lead to the conviction of the assassins. A gentleman named White, residing near Parsonstown, has been served with a notice to quit that locality, and give up his employment under Lord Rosse failing in which, he is candidly warned that the fate of Mr. Manifold awaits him. A reward of JL20 has been offered for the writer of the precious document. MELANCHOLY DEATH OF A FELLOW OF NEW COLLEGE. -Int(elligence reached the Warden of New College Oxford, on Monday, of the melancholy death by accident of W. II. M. Colston, Esq. D.C.L., one of the senior Fellows of New College. The nature of the accident, as far as the informa- tion received, was. that the unfortunate gentleman was residing at his father's house, the Rev. W. H. Colston, D.D., rector of West Lydford and Clapton, Somersetshire, and that in company with several other gentlemen, on Saturday last, he went out for a day's shooting, and while enjoying the sport he was accidentally shot in the leg by one of the party. DEATH OF A WHOLE SHIP'S OFFICEIIS.—The Dover steam vessel, from the coast of Africa, arrived here on rri- day to be paid off. Her crew consisted wholly of Kroomen, except four "Lite men, and she came home under the charge of the chief engineer, it being understood that all the officers died oil the coast.—Kentish Mercury. MUNIFICENT BEQUESTS.—The late Mr. J. Terrett, for- merly a prosperous and industrious cotton hosier at Tewkes- bury, Glocestcrshirc, but who retired from business a quarter of a century ago, aged 81 years, has, by his will, bequeathed the following sums I to public charities, subject to the life interest of his sister in the property :—Church Pastoral Aid Society, El,000 Church Missionary Socitty, EI,000 Gloces- ter Iliftriiiai-y, El 000 Society for the Promoting Christian Knowledge, £ 500 Society for the Propagation of the Gos- pel in Foreign Parts, 1;500 Deaf and Dumb Asylum, Birming' ham, £ 500 Malta Protestant College, E500 Friends of the Clergy Society, E500 Medical Benevolent Fund, £ 500. HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS PRINCE ALBERT AND THE ARMY. —The reported change of the army agents for the Rifle Brigade, and the many other instances of Prince Albert's recognition of the responsibilities as well as the honours of office are well known, but we scarcely thought it would be our duty so soon to add another to the already ex- isting proofs of his royal highness's laudable activity in that direction. The lamented death of the late Duke of Wel- lington vacated the colonelcy in chief of the Grenadier guards, and the appointment was very properly bestowed upon the prince consort. The third battalion of that dis- tinguished regiment is now quartered in the Sheet street barracks, and the other day both officers and men were taken completely by surprise when the prince paid them a visit, went over the work-rooms, the laundry, and other places. We hear that his royal highness made minute in- quiries respecting each, and suggested alterations and im- provements little dreamt of by his astonished attendants. Windsor Express.

I POACHING IN THE TIVY. I To the Editor of the Welshman. SIR,-In what part of the world is the Tivy situated? Does it run through any portion of Great Britain ? You will excuse my question when I tell you that an act was passed not many years ago enforcing the observance of cer- tain fence months, so that in the autumn the salmon might unmolested go up the streams to spawn, and in the spring the young fry might go down to the sea. Now as I was aware that this act applied to England and Wales, I was nigh coming to the conclusion that the Tivy was in some foreign land, as it seems entirely exempt from this law. On the Tivy, the fence months are in no wise regarded: coracles may be seen daily trying for fish from Cilgerran to Newcas- tle, they are daily speared in a pool near Cenarth, and a week or two ago young salmon from two to four pounds weight were selling at Llandyssil. When again the young fry attempt to go down to the sea they are caught in baskets, and marvellous if one in a hun- dred escapes and what do they do with them ? they actually feed pigs upon them Supposing a few hundreds out of as many millions to escape yet when they arrive at the shallows under Rosehill, one mile from Cardigan, about the month of May or June, they are taken in shoals, and thus the self-deluded fisherman kills that, which if left alone, would in a few years ani ply retíay his toil. The Tivy was formerly one of the most celebrated rivers in the kingdom for salmon, but now it has fallen to nothing. And how can we expect it to be otherwise if miscreants are allowed to kill wholesale the old fish going to spawn, and the young when spawned. Now, Mr. Editor, it is not one of these places that is injured, but every one of them and at the mouth of the Tivy, there is a village, the inhabitants of which used to subsist almost entirely by this fishery-and now that this is destroyed, what is to become of them ? The question recurs where is the remedy ? I propose that superintendents or keepers be appointed during the fence months over certain districts, to be paid either by the county or by the contributions from the several places through which the stream passes, for I believe every man would rather pay 6d. towards keeping his fellow-creature out of the workhouse than Is. to kerp him in there, Cutting a long matter short, I remain, VINDEX. P. S. If public meetings on this subject were held at Cardigan, Newcastle, and Lampeter, they might have a good effect.

CARMARTHEN MUNICIPAL ELECTION.—The election of Councillors for this Borough took place on Monday last. Considerable excitement prevailed throughout the day, in consequence of there being an opposition in each ward, but no political party feeling was manifested. There was an unusual number of canvassers for the retiring municipal re presentatives, and Guildhall-square bore at one period of the day the appearance of a life and death contest" for su- periority we believe, however, that much of this display of zeal was uncalled for, as from the termination of the first hour's polling the issue was not at all in doubt. The poll was on Wednesday declared by the presiding Alder- men, E. H. Stacey and W. G. Thomas, Esquires, but none of the elected parties attended to return thanks for the quasi 11 honour" conferred upon them. The numbers for the respective candidates were declared to be as follows EASTERN WARD.—Dr. Bowen, 122 Mr. P. G. Jones, 121; Mr. Geo. Davies, 112; and for the extraordinary vacancy occasioned by the death of Matthew Wayne, Esq., Mr. Valentine Rees, 104 and Mr. John Williams, (who started at the heel of the hunt,") 24. WESTERN WARD. Mr. Jas. Rowlands, ly9 Mr. Lewis Morris, 149 Dr. Law- rence, 142 and Mr. John Nathan Roberts, 83. The three first named in each ward, and also Mr. Valentine Rees, were declared duly elected. We were much pleased last evening in attending a lecture by Dr. Lloyd at the Unitarian chapel, in aid of the Sunday school connected therewith. The subject of the lecture was Astronomy," the principles of which were explained in the doctor's usual lucid and popular manner. Several of the leading phenomena connected with the solar system, eclipses and their causes, tides, &c., were beautifully illus- trated by illuminated diagrams, showing the movements of the heavenly bodies in a very perfect manner. The chapel was densely filled by a respectable and attentive audience. We understand that the lecture will be repeated at Lainmas- street school-room in the course of next week. CARMARTHEN MONTHLY MARKET, on Wednesday last, was very numerously attended, and a large business was transacted at remunerating prices. A quantity of stock was purchased for transmission to Glamorganshire by railway, and there can be no doubt that this trade will very largely increase. CARMARTHEN PETTY SESSIONS.—On Saturday last, be- fore D. Prytherch, and J. G. Philipps, Esquires, John Lewis Llwynybedw, Penboir, was charged by P.C., Thomas Richaids, with riding on his cart, but it being a light cart and driven with reins the case was dismissed. On Thursday, (yesterday) Dennis Sullivan Mathias, and Daniel Murphy were charged with having stolen a brass pan on that day, from Henry Davies in the parish of Treleach-ar-Bettws, and were this day committed for trial at the Quarter Sessions by D. Prytherch, Esq. KIDWELLy.-On Friday last, a case of some importance to the public was heard before Mr. David Williams, Mayor, and Mr. Edward Rees, one of the Borough Magistrates, fVm. Hart, a pointsman, in the employment of the South Wales Railway Company, was charged with having absented himself from his duty at the Kidwelly station for more than an hour on the previous Monday morning. It appears that it was his duty to attend to the switches, and he had left them in such a state that if a train had passed by, an accident would have been inevitable. The justices saw at once the great importance of the case, and inflicted a fine of £ 2 and costs, being determined to aid in the preservation of human life by all the means in their power. LLANELLy.-The Baptists held their annual meeting on Wednesday last, at Velinvole Chapel, near Llanelly, when sermons were preached by the Revds. Nathaniel Thomas, Benjamin Thomas, Hugh Jonss, and J. Jones, Merthyr Tydfil. LLANELLY MECHANIC'S INSTITUTION.—The first lecture of the Winter Session 1852-3, was delivered at the rooms of the institute on Tuesday evening last, by the Rev. Henry Griffiths, Principal of Brecon College, to a numerous and respectable audience, on the Steam Engine." The learned lecturer having traced the origin of steam from the days of Hero, 120 years before the Christian era, and enumerated the subsequent discoveries of Agari, in Spain in 1570, of the Marquis of Worcester, in England, in 1650 (who while confined in the Tower of London, on a political charge, had been bereft of his dinner by the explosion of a saucepan on the fire, to which incident England is mainly indebted for the impetus given to the public mind regarding the important subject,) and a host of other inventors, down to Watls, who might justily be styled the father of the modern Steam Engine, proceeded to explain the general principles of Steam, that is to say, the expansion of bodies by heat, which con- tract on the withdrawal thereof, and the action of the at- mospheric air thereon, and illustrated the matter by about 50 diagrams, with several models, of every variety of steam and locomotive engines. The lecture was listened to with deep attention, and the audience seemed highly gratified. The next Lecture was announced to be delivered on the 16th November, on Astronomy. LLANELLY.—The annual meeting of the Llanelly mecha- nic's institution, was held on Monday evening last, at the rooms of the institution, the president, Wm, Chambers, Esq., junior, in the chair—who addressed the meeting on the occasion in bis usual practical and humourous manner he congratulated the ii-eiiibcis on the fiouiishing state of the societ) 's finances, and suggested the establishment of botanical and musical classes, and also strongly impressed on their attention the necessity for a r.ew and more com- modious building, towards the erection of which he promised modious bui l 6 i i-,r, to,.va- the munificent sum (,f ;CIOO. Our worthy member has also subsciibed the handsome sum of 1:150. The treasurer having read his report by which it appeared there was a balance of £3 8s. in hand, and the president, vice presidents, committee, and officers, having been re-elected, Mr. Jel- linger C. Symons, Inspector of Public Schools, then addressed the meeting with reference to establishing an elementary school of drawing and painting at Llanelly, under the auspices of the Board of Trade, the benefits "rising from which would be incalculable. A committee was appointed for considering the proposition. A building committee for carrying out the suggestion of the president was also formed. Owing to the unpropitious state of the weather, the attendance was not so large as usual. LLANELLY PETTY SESSIONS.—On Saturday last, before Rees Goring Thomas, J. H. Recs, and Wm. Chambers, jun., Esqrs.— The complaint of Mr. Benjamin Thomas, surgeon, against Mr. Wm. Walker, fur feloniously detaining and concealing a dog, was owing to the complainant's continued bad health, adjourned for a fortnight.-P.S. Lewis charged D. Evans and D Badger, of Llanelly, with riding on a cart on the turnpike road without reins. It appeared that Mr. Elkington, of the Pembrey Copper Works, was riding in his phaeton from Llangennech Park to Pembrey, on the night of the 20th ult., and when near Llandafen toll gate, two carts (which were going at a furious rate), drove against his phaHon and caused considerable damage thereto. The shock threw Mr. Eikii.gton and the driver fro:n their seats in to the road, and it was fortunate that they did not receive more bodily injury the horse in the phaston was however severely cut. The drivers of the cart, although called upon, refused to render any assistance. The defendants were found guilty of causing negligent damage, and Evans was fined ;El, -id Badger 2s. Gù. Credit is due to the police for their energetic efforts to ascertain and bring the offenders to justice.—Maria Sullivan was charged by Mary O'Brien, both daughters of Erin," with violently assaulting her by throwing stones. Fined Is. and costs.—As usual, two orders of affiliation were made.—Thos. Phillips, of Llanelly, was fined 5s. on the complaint of Sergeant Lewis, for being drunk and disorderly in the parish church on Sunday last. A case of assault was settled between the parties before the case was called on. LLANDILO MECHANICS' INSTITUTION.—On Tuesday last, the 2nd inst., Dr. Lloyd delivered a lecture at this Institute to an influential and crowded audience. D. Prothero,Esq.,M.D., having been voted to the Chair, the Lecturer made some pre- liminary remarks upon the importance and utility of Literary and Mechanics' Institutions, when he then entered more particularly upon the theme of his Lecture, which was the 11 Relation existing between the Plant and the Animal;" and as a basis to this consideration the lecturer cleared his subject most happily by defining the accepted terms of a Law of Nature. Proceeding more into detail, he viewed first the part played, and also the chemical composition of the mineral world, showing its adaptation to organised struc- tures. The Plant followed in this harmonious chain vivified by the vis vitce as the future requirement of the animal economy. In this instructive and interesting Lec- ture the good judgment and happy allusions of the speaker were at periods loudly acknowledged by responsive applause. After entertaining his audience for an hour and a half, the Lecturer closed his remarks, when J. Prothero Lewis, Esq., moved a vote of thanks for the generous and philanthropic manner with which the lecturer had responded to the call of the committee in gratuitously attending at that distance, which was unanimously agreed to.
