The jury returned a verdict of Found dead, without marks of violence". The circumstance is involved in mystery but the prevailing opinion is, that the deceased was intoxicated, and fell over the precipice overhanging Llechryd mill stream while on his way home in the night.

ABERYSTWITH AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY. I The annual show for the northern difiion of Cardigan shire took place at Aberystwith on Wedrieisdtty last, and the weather being most favourable, the attendance was noti) jj numerous and respectable. Contrary to anticipations We show was eminently successful, and a marked improvement was apparent in almost every department over those et former years-increased interest, seemed slpo to be taken by tenant farmers, who were more numerous by for thin at the last show. The arrangements were carried out in the beet j possible manner by the officers of the Society. The horses, as asuali were ranged on the Marsh, and the cattle, sheep, and pigs, penned in the Show yard. The butter and cheese were shown at the Town Hall, and Agricultural Implements ranged both in and out of the Show-yard. The judges cofumenced their duties at 11 o'clock. Those of the Cattle, Horses, Sheep and Pigs were-F. R. Roberts, Esq., of Penywern, David Lloyd, Esq., of Oswestry, and Wil- Ham Jones, Esq., of Llwyngroes The judges of the Butter and Cheese were Mrs. Col. Philipps, Mrs. Davies, Erglodd; Mrs. Edwards, Argoed and Mrs. James, Pencwm. After the judges had completed their duties, the vard was thrown open and soon filled with those who were anxiously waiting for the opportunity, and whose curiosity to ascertain who had won the prizes was exeited to the highest pitch. On entering the yard it was evident that every pen was occupied in the class of two-year old Welsh Bulls, six animals were exhibited, and the prize card was pasted above that of Mr. Jenkin Owen, Pwllpridd, the other animals were of a very superior description. The judges judiciously refrained from commending any second in merit, though their doing so, perhaps, would have been satisfactory to some parties. In Class 3, there were some very fine milch Cows of Welsh breed, especially that of Col Powell, which, we understand, was considered equal in merit to the one of Mr. Owen Jones, which obtained the prize; but a rule of the society provides that where there was anything like equality of merit, preference should be given to tenant farmers. In Class 10, Mrs. Marshall's fine Durham Cow attracted much atten- tion, as did also the two Cows of Mr. Loveden, of the Devonshire breed, which were generally commended, but they could not compete with Mr. Miller of Morfa's Short- horn, which took the first prize. Capt. Pryse's heifer in the next class (Short-horn), and Mrs. Marshall's (Ayrshire), were considered splendid beasts, the prize being taken by Mr. John Miller. In Class 7 (Ayrshire Cows), in which Mr. A. P. Davies took the prize, there was another excellent heifer of his, and a very handsome one belonging to Mr. Todd, of Aberbrwynu. Mr. Todd also showed a very superior Ayrshire bull. Mr. Thomas Jones's white cow of the Durham breed deserved commendation. Mr. Loveden exhibited some excellent yearling bulls of the Devonshire breed. There were altogether 53 animals exhibited in this department, which were almost all of very superior merit, and demonstrated the tendency of these meetings to im- prove the stock of the country. The show of horses was about the same as last year as to quality, but more numerous. In Class 15, Mr. M. D. Williams's mare was considered of equal merit with that of Mr. William Jones, Pwlly, but the latter being a tenant farmer, was of course pre- ferred. The sheep department was very full. Mr. F. R. Roberts's prize ram was universally admired that of Mr. John Miller, in the same class, was considered next in merit (Southdown). The LeiceBters of Mr. Loveden were also commended, and Mr. Roberts' pen '.of Leicester ewes were very superior, as were also a pen of Mr. Loveden. Mr. M. D. Williams's five black faced sheep were very pretty animals. The pig department also showed great improvement. A real guinea pig, belonging to Mr. J. W. R°es, was con- sidered an object of great attraction. Mr. Job Jones exhibited a fine sow with ten pigs. Agricultural imple- ments were not wanting. Mr. Thomas Halford, of New- town, exhibited a patent light trap, some patent churns, patent stiles, a patent kneading machine, and various other small and useful articles; Messrs. Ellis, of this town, also exhibited some chaff-cutters. In the show yard and at the dinner we observed—Col. Powell, M.P. Capt. Pryse, M.P., Lord-Lieutenant; Mr. Pryse Loveden; the Right Hon. the Earl of Lisburne; Lord Vaughan and Lady Lucy Vaughan Mr. and Mrs. Fryer; Major Phillips; Mr. G. W.

At four o'clock, the dinner was served at the Belle Vue Hotel, in the style for which Mrs. Marshall is so justly celebrated. A large number of gentlomen sat down, and it is needless to state that full justice was done to the good things which were abundantly provided. The chair was occupied by Capt. Pryse. M.P., Lord Lieutenant, and the vice chair by G. G. Williams, Esq., Cwmcynfelin. The chairman gave The Queen," which was drank with enthusiasm. The chairman then said, that before calling on the secre- tary to read the names of those who had been successful, he would make a few remarks on the day's proceedings. It appeared to him that they had been very successful, when oompared with last year's show, both as to numbers and quality. The pigs and sheep especially were very superior, but he could not flatter the tsnant farmers upon the quality of the Welsh cattle exhibited. He did not consider them anything better than what he had seen exhibited there be- fore. The opinion of the judges, however, would be given by and by, and he should be glad to find that he was mis- taken. The other stock was well worth looking at, but he did not think that the tenant farmers had shewn any im- provement. He trusted that henceforth the experience of this show would urge them on, and that they would enter into the contest heart and soul. He hoped that the opinion of the jndges would be more favourable than his own. He then called upon the secretary to read the award of the prizes. The following is the list.— CATTLE.

The Chairman said, that the prizes at the bottom of the list given by .Lord Lisburne, would go with the show prizes. One of the judges stated a$, to class six, that there was some double entertained as topwbether the bull was of pure breed. The chairman decided that it should rest with Mr. James, to prove that it was so. Some diccussions also ensued as to whether Ewes with mottled or spotted face? and legs could bs considered as pure Welsh, and it was considered that this question should be decided before the next show, or that a separate prize be gire n. The Vice-chairman then gave the successful competitors, coupled with the name of Mr. John Miller. 1 Mr. Miller, in returning thanks, observed that he con- sidered the show of Welsh cattle superior to last year. The numbers were certainly few, and he fintieipated greater im- provement. The entries for horses for agricultural purposes were small, but .there were some yearling Colts of a very good character.-lfhe rest he considered as second class. In the Sheep department, and also in butter and cheese, there was a remarkable improvement. There were no entries for draining, and it showei a great want of enter- prize, gmoni the tenant farmers The green crops had not been judged but as soon as he had an opportunity he would do so There had been some difficulty as to the extra classes. He thought that if they bad a good show, and were desir- ous to improve the cattle of the county, they should give good prizes, and let them be open. and not give a number of different prizes for similar ( lasses. Ic gave the judges a good deal of extra trouble, and was a source of much dissatisfaction. He thought it best for gentlemen iuten iiug to give prizes to give the money to the society to be disposed of as the committee thought best. Some discussion then took place on the subject of the extra prices, and it was generally concurred in that the prices should be given to the society to be disposed of as Mr. Miller suggested. The Chairman then proposed The Judges," and bore testimony to their strict impartiality and superior judg- ment, coupling with the toast, the name of Mr. Lloyd. Mr. Lloyd returned thanks, and demonstrated how the Welsh cattle were capable of improvement. There was a better class of Welfli at this show than when he was here two years ago, aud he wished very much to see the Cardigan- shire blood more improved. He recommended fanners to look more to the quality of the cow than to the one which yielded most milk. The short horns exhibited were very good. He also made some remarks as to the dispute regard- ing the pure Welsh Ewes. 0 The Vice-chairman appropriately, proposed the health of the chairman. Captain Pryse, in returning thanks, observed that the manner in which they drank his health, was qnite an ova- tion. He had lived amongst them for a great protion of his life, and whatever might be his remaining years, he hoped still to continue amongst them, whether in connection with fox hunting or agriculture or anything else. He would always endaavour to perform his duties for the benefit of all around him, and he should be the last to leave the ship. Mr. F. R. Roberts, stated that there was one feature connected with the day, which had hitherto passed unnoticed. He referred to the show of agricultural implements. There were several excellent implements exhibited, and amongst others some Chain Harrows, which offered many advant- ages to farmers iu this district. He would propose the health of the gentleman who had had the pluck to bring his implements here from a considerable distance. He was the first gentleman who had had the courage to come here and exhibit at their show, and he must say, that he deserved the thanks and encouragement of every gentleman connected with the agricultural interest of the district, and of this society in particular. Mr. Halford Newtown, appropriately returned thanks, for the kind manner in which his health had been proposed and drunk. Mr. Holmes proposed the unsuccessful competitors. Mr. Thomas Jones, responded. The Chairman gave the health of the secretary. Mr. John Davies, returned thanks, and proposed the health of the Lady Judges, which was drunk with enthusiasm. Mr. Thomas Jones, pro osed 11 The Vice President." Mr. Williams, returned thanks. The Chairman, gave the health of Mr. John Miller. Mr. Miller, duly responded. These toasts were all drunk with the greatest enthusiasm, and after some others of a local character, the meeting broke up. "J' V'VVVVV'V" 'V.

LAmPETER.-On Friday last the Court Leet and view of Frankpledge for this borough was held before Richard D. Jenkins, Esq., Steward, when Thomas Lewis, Esq., of Bank House, was unanimously eleoted Portreeve for the ensuing year. The Jury perambulated the borough, and presented several nuisances that require removing. PONTRHYDFENDIGAID.—A few days since, as reapers were at work on the farm of Pencefn, near Tregaron, the property of Mr. Charles Jones, of Measelwad, they disco- vered the extraordinary number of six ears of barley upon one straw, and all of mature size, the straw being not thicker then the others which only held one ear,. but waa solid, and not tubular as ordinary straws are. LAMPETER.—THE SANITARY CONDITION OF THE TOWN. A meeting was held on the 30th ult. at the Black Lion Hotel, for the purpose of improving the sanitary con- dition of the town. J. Battersby Harford, Esq., was unanimously called to the chair, and said that the sanitary condition of the town of Lampeter is at present so sad that there can be no doubt much of the fever and sickness lately so fatal here must be attributable to want of proper sewerage and water supply. The existing drains, such as they are, are for the most part choked with filth, and in many places exposed to view so as to infest the air with their fatal exhalations. Some steps were taken about two years ago to meet the evil, whioh now again so pain- fully forced itself upon the attention of all, both proprietors and residents. The movement to which allusion was made failed for want of energetic and united action. It is now proposed to make another effort to remedy the nuisance com- plained of. Tho proprietors of the Peterwell estate are prepared to enter warmly into the matter, and they invite co-operation from other owners and occupiers of houses and land. In order not to attempt too much at first it is proposed to construct a reservoir for the town sewerage in the rear of the town, and from it to carry a brick culvert of about 18 or 20 inches diameter, as far as the funds will allow. The levels have been taken so as to ascertain that the proposed plan is feasible, and the object of this meeting is to obtain opinion upon the subject. Several gentlemen spoke at great length, intimating a hope that the improve- ments would be effected. In answer to Mr. D. J. Jones, Mr. Harford said it is suggested that proprietors might agre to assess themselves rateably according to the number and the rental of houses they are interested in. This meeting was a very select on.), and the resolutions passed are to be submitted to a more general meeting to be shortly convened. The following gentlemen were present-J. Battersby Harford, Esq the Very Rev. the Dean of St. David's, Thomas Hughes, Esq., Noyadd-fawr Richard D. Jenkins, Esq., Cardigan, Thomas Lewis, Esq., Lampeter, and Mr. Samuel Davies and Mr. D. J. Jones.

J. Hamilton Bart., Capt. David Davies, and Gnsmond Philipps, Esq. Joseph Gilliver, hawker, was charged with passing through the turnpike gate without paying toll. Margaret Rees, mother of the Toll Collector at Cwmduad, stated that her son was unable to attend to give evidence; and that on the 29th ult., the defendant passed through the Cwmduad Toll Gate, without paying the legal toll de- manded of him. He was driving a gig drawn by one horse. Her son being engaged with a cart that was pas- sing, she demanded 6d. toll of the defendant. He refused to give more than 4d., saying that he would pay 6d. if it were right, Or if that was the amount stated on the ticket. He would not look at it when produced, and struck her with the handle of his whip across the face. Her nose bled profusely. He drove off as fast as he could, and her son, who went in pursuit, overtook him at Conwil. He there refused his name, telling her son it was on his trap."

THE LATE SUSPICIOUS DEATH FROM DROWNING.—Last week we gave full particulars of the circumstances connected with the melancholy death from drowning of John Evan, and the suspicion that he was driven to put an end to his life from the treatment he had received at the bands of a notorious prostitute who it was supposed had robbed him of a large sum of money. Very little light has been thrown upon the mystery during this week. On Friday the two brothers of the deceased and his employer Mr. Jones, horse dealer of Tregaron, came to Carmarthen and identified the body, which they subsequently removed from Llangunnor church to Tregaron for interment. Mr. Jones gave the unfortunate deceased an excellent character, and states that be was a valuable servant of sober habits, and that the loss of the money ought not to have driven him to suicide for he should have known that under the circumstance no serious consequence would have ensued. It is not accurately known what amount of money the deceased had in his possession, but Mr. Jones had given to him ten five pound notes and some loose cash. He did not take the numbers of the notes and consequently payment cannot be stopped. The police have been unsuccessful in obtaining any facts likely to convict the parties who are suspected to have robbed the deceased, but there is no moral doubt in the matter. The woman refuses to give up the notes which she admits to have had in her possession she denies having received them of the deceased, whom she persists in asserting she did not see during the night preceding his death. Her statement is, however, con- tradicted by others who saw the poor fellow in the street where she lives, and he was then in a melancholy state, of drunkenness with his clothes disordered & his shoes down at beel, muttering to himself as if in great distress. The man to whom the note was traced, which the police had in their possession, said that if pressed he would make a clean breast of it. Still nothing can be elicited of him, but on Friday it is said he returned the note to. Mr. Jones, a most signifi- cant confirmation of the suspicions entertained. It is a difficult case with which the police have not yet done. CARMARTHEN POLICE COURT. — At the Town Hall, before H. Norton, Esq., mayor, Capt. Davies, Dr. Law- rence, E. H. Stacey, Esq J. J. Stacey, Esq., and J. Hughes, Esq. Thomas Thomas, mason, Lammas-street, was charged with drunkenness. P.C. Evans, stated that the defendant was drunk in Water-street on Saturday. He prevailed upon him to go towards his home several times the last time when he returned he was so noisy and unmanageable, that it was necessary to take him into custody. The defendant, who stoutly denied being drunk or noisy, was fined 5s. and costs. On the application of the overseers of Newchurch, an order was made, on the (evidence of Mr. Lloyd Releving Officer, for the payment of 3s. a week by David Thomas Ystrad, towards the main- tenance of his father.-Margaret Thomas, was fined Is. and eosts, for offering fowls for sale out of the market. On Tuesday, before E. H. Stacey, Esq., and J. Hughes. Esq. William Williams, was charged with drunkenness and assaulting the police. It appeared that P.C. D. Davies, found the defendant lying on the road at Tenerdy in a state of drunkenness, and to preserve him from injury, he endeavoured to remove him to a place of security, and for doing so the defendant assaulted him. On his way to the station house he resisted, and it required several men to take him from Wood's Row where he made a most deter- mined stand. This was the fourth charge of a similar nature which had been preferred against the defendant within a very short time. The defendant was convicted in the penalty of £1 and costs. CARMARTHEN MUSICAL SoCrETY.-The Annual General Meeting of the Musical Society was held on Wednesday evening last at the Assembly Rooms. There were present -Mr. B.Jones in the chair, Mr. J. Thomas (maltster). Mr. Spurrell, Mr. W. Warren, Mr. H. Hughes, Mr. F. Williams, Mr. Regis, Mr. W. J. Morgan, Mr. J. Hughes, Mr. Dyer, Mr. Barker, Mr. Benifold, and Mr. Allard. The Finanoial Report, showing a small balance against the Society, was passed unanimously, 4he financial position of the Society giving great satisfaction. The Secretary's Report, which passed unanimously, showed an increase in the number of subscribers for the season 1858-9 over the season 1867-8. Votes of thanks to the Treasurer and Secretary were unanimously passed. The meeting then re-elected J. T. Alcock, Esq., President, and William Morris, Esq., Vice-President.

Baker re-engaged, and Miss Burnett engaged for the coming season. A vote of thanks to the Chairman having been passed mem. con., the meeting terminated. CHARGE OF STEALING SEVERAL WATCHES.—On Mon- day last, in the County Gaol, before T. Powell, Esq. WilUam Jones was brought up under remand, charged with stealing five watches. Mr. Parry appeared for the prose- cution. The evidence in this case was very long and singularly uninteresting. The simple facts are that the prisoner lived at Pentre, Llan hangel-Abereowin, or its immediate neighbourhood in the early part of the summer just ended, and procured a livelihood by repairing watches, clocks, and other mechanical work. He was in the habit of travelling through the district in search of work, and in this way he obtained five watches to clean from different persons, promising to return them when done. With these watches in his possession he left Pentre in August, and at Swansea, Neath, and Merthyr he pawned them for various sums under the name of William Coates. The pawnbrokers proved advancing money on the watches to the prisoner, and the persons to who the watches belong identified them, and Serjeant Saer proved apprehending the prisoner at Merthyr on the 24th of September. The prisoner was committed for trial at the next Quarter Sessions. ACCIDENTAL EXPLOSION OF OUN-POWDM.-On Tuesday last an accident occuraed at Abernant Tynk Cutting of the Carmarthen and Cardigan Railway, about three miles from this town. About twenty men were at work in the cutting; two of them, Benjamin Jones and Thomas Owen were preparing two holes for blasting. The fusees were put to, but Jones delayed lighting the touch Owen inquired whether Jones was ready. He said he was, and in the hurry of lighting the fusee, the touch fell from his hand into a small quantity of power at his feet which exploded almost simultaneously with the blast. His escape from fatal injury was almost miraculous, for he was not only blown several feet from the ground by the explo- nifin, but exposed to the stones which were scattered in every direction by the blast of the rock in two places. He was very much burnt on the whole of one side, particularly on the neck and face which were uncovered. Owen escaped with some trifling burns. Mr. Williams surgeon, was soon in attendance, and applied the usual remedies. ST. CLEARS.—The ancient Corporation of St. Clears held their annual feast on Monday last, being the first Monday after the 29th of September, on which it is held from time im- memorial.

This promotion is the more creditable to Mr. Williams when it is considered that it was the very highest that could at present be obtained under the orders of that could at Williams has conducted the Boys' School since its establishment in 1847, with ability and success. Two pupil teachers educated there have since obtained masters' certificates, and are now conducting flourishing schools at Beaufort and Dinas; and those who know the nature of the education imparted at the Copper Works' School, as well as the zeal and perseverance of the master, will cordially approve of the minute passed by the Council. THE WËttíK WESLEYAN CHAPEL, CAltMA-RTHEN.-The Anniversary of the above place of worship, was held on Sunday last. The Services were as follows :-At 10 in the morning, the Rev. J.

KIDWELLY.-Monday last was the day for the election of mayor for this borough.

Dr. Roberts was also unanimously elected to serve the office of justice for the ensuing year, being his fourth year of office, and in which he has given very general satisfaction. LLANELLY MECHANICS' INSTITUTE.—A General Com- mittee Meeting was held on Monday last, J. N. Buckley, Esq., in the chair. An excellent programme of lectures for the ensuing winter was submitted to the committee and appfoved. In addition to tha ordinary course, the com- mittee have agreed, in conjunction with the Carmarthen institute, to engage four eminent professional lecturers. r e r a. FLOODS AT LLANELLY ON THE FAIR DAY.-The Sep- tember fair was held here on Friday last, and a more meagre one can scarcely be conceived, in consequenoe of the heavy ram which fell during the day. It had been showery weather most of the week previous, but on Friday it poured down so heavily and uninterruptedly, as to pre- vent almost the possibility of a fair being held. Very little business was of course done in the sale of cattle or pigs. There was hardly a stall to be seen, and very few people, and about 4 o'clock p.m. the river had risen to such a height as to become alarming. The streets and premises near the Falcon Bridge were flooded. At the Falcon Hotel, the butchers market, Llanelly House, and market-streeti the water was from 6 inches to 2 feet deep, the greatest height was reached about 6 p.m. after which the rain abated, and the river gradually fell to its more usual level. On the Falcon bridge, the mill and other points, crowds of people were gathered to witness a scene which had not occurred for many years. A large quantity of timber was washed down from the different weirs bridges &c., and the scrambling for them produced a great deal of meriment, many of the poor people collected a large quantity of trees and planks. The bridge at Llanarth farm, was completely demolished, another at Penybinglawdd, was all but Annihilated, a great quantity of the adjacent land was submerged and covered with large numbers of ducks and geese that seemed to enjoy themselves. The scene was at some points quite exciting and made many forget for the time all about the fair. It was well that the waters subsided when it did, for had it con- tinued to rise at the same rate an hour or two longer, the greater part of the town must have been flooded, and much damage probably done. Besides the destruction of the bridges we have not heard of further damage. LLAN,ELLY. CAPEL Ziox.-The quarterly meeting of the Sunday School, in connection with this chapel, was held on Sunday afternoon last, when the children were examined by the Rev. J. R, Morgans. Several recitations were given by the children, and pieces were sung by the choir. Prizes were awarded to the most proficient, and the meeting was an interesting one. LLANELLY; ACCIDENT.—On Monday last a serious acci- dent occurred near the Blue Anchor public house, on the Pembrey road, by which a valuable mare, the property of Mr. D. Evans, Gower Park-street, was killed. The driver was proceeding to Pembrey with a cart-load of goods, and at this point was met by a pony phaeton, belonging to Mr. Maclaren, Dafen Tin Works, who bad taken his children out for a drive. On his return the pony took fright and ran away, and came in contact with Mr Evans's mare, when the shaft of the phaeton entered the breast of the mare with such force that she died in a few minutes. There was a woman on the cart, who was thrown off with great a woman on the cart,_ i n j ure d as did every one else, but violence, but escaped uninjured, as did every one else, but it was a narrow escape for them, the wonder being that they were not all killed. The mare is stated to have been valued at JE30 to J635. LLANDILO.—AP TEWDWR LODGE.-On Monday last the members of this lodge held their annual dinner at the Castle Inn. About 0 o'clock about 60 of the members and friends sat down to an excellent dinner prepared by Mr. John Thomas. The chair was occupied by N. Rees, Esq., and the vice-chair by Mr. G. Williams. After the cloth had been removed and the usual and loyal toasts given, the health of the Chairman, Vice-Chairman, and "Success to the Manchester Unity of Odd-Fellows" were proposed and-responded to. Several songs and toasts were given, which enlivened the evening. LLANDILO COUNTY COUEtT.-On Tuesday last, the usual County Court was held before John Johnes, Esq., Judge. There were 84 plaints entered for trial, among which were the following:—Anne Williams against James Thomas. This action was brought by the plaintiff, who is a widow, residing at Hafod Bettws, against the defendant, who is a solicitor in this town, to recover the sum of £50, for money had and received by the defendant for and on behalf of the plaintiff, from persons purchasing goods at a sale made by the plaintiff at Hafod, m the year 1847. Mr. Thus. Parry, of Carmarthen, appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Charles Bishop, of Llandovery, for the defendant. The defendant pleaded the usual pleas and statute of limitation.

Mr. James Thomas appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. J. P. Lewis for the defendant. His Honour having very carefully summed up the evidence, the jury retired for 15 minutes, and found a verdict for the defendant.—George Evans of Cwmcerrig, Llanegwad, farmer, against William Davies, of Pentredavies, Llangathen, aad David Davies, of Abersanan, Llanfynydd, for that the defendants had, on the 1st day of Jnly last, at Dryslwyn fair, violently assaulted, beat, and kicked the plaintiff, whereby he sustained damages to the amount of £10. Mr. J. P. Lewis appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. J. Popkin for the defendants. After a large num- ber of witnesses had been examined on both sides, a verdict was found for the plaintiff against David Davies for zCl, each party to pay their own costs, and judgment for defendant William Davies. This case occupied the Court from ten o'clock until about one o'clock on Wednesday morning, when His Honour adjourned the Court until the 22nd instant, there being seven other cases to be tried.

The room was not full, but amongst the audience were some of the elite of the neighbourhood. The various pieces were performed with great accuracy and taste, reflecting credit on the conductors under whose tuition the choir have attained their present position. Some of the choruses were executed with marked precision and effect, and were highly appreciated by the audience. Miss Griffiths, Myddinfych, possesses a sweet voice, and has established a title to the good opinion enter- tained of her. The ABC duet, sung by Miss Griffiths and Mr. R. Evans, was performed in first-rate style, and was most deservedly encored. The singing of Messrs. Evans and. Anthony was greeted with an enthusiastic burst of applause and a unanimous encore.
