Ihe Netie Fene Presse of to day says: —" Earl Clarendon bis explained to Count Rechberg the necessity for bringing the peace negociations to a speedy issue He also advocated the early inauguration of the rule of the Duke of Augustenburg, who would be reoognised by England Earl Clarendon further ex- plained that the Italian question urgently required a solution, and that should Austria form a Northern alliance to oppose the latest movement of the Franco- Italian policy, England would not co-oporate with her, although the latter was ready to support Austria should she lean towards the policy of the Western Powers. To these overtures the Austrian Government reserved its reply." PREFERMENTS AND APPOINTMEETS.—Rev W. Anden Vicar of Church Broughton. Derby.—Rev S.

SCHOOL TREAT. — On Wednesday the Carmarthen Church Schools paraded the town in procession, atten- ded by their teachers, about sixty in number, and by the resident clergy, on their way to the Junction Station, where a special train was in waiting to take them to the Ferryside, where they had a treat of tea and cake. The weather was glorious, and the juveniles and friends, over one thousand in number, enjoyed the excursion immensely. On their arrival at the Ferry they dispersed lover the sands, and amused themselves with cricket, and a variety of other games. Shorly after three o'clock they assembled at the first headland, where they sang a hymn, and were addressed by the Rev. Chan- cellor Williams, after which they returned in procession to the Ferryside school-room, where they were plenti- fully regaled with tea and cake, and reached home in safety, and shortly after seven o'clock, after a very pleasant trip, which gave general satisfaction to all who attended it. The procession as it perambulated the principal streets of the town attracted crowds of specta- tors, and the scene was both animating and suggestive of the kind interest taken in the welfare of the children of the poor by the numerous staff of teachers and clergy who accompanied them to the train and to the Ferry. UNIVERSITY EDUCATION FOR WALES.—North Wales is moving earnestly in this work. On Tuesday evening we see an influential meeting was held at the National schoolroom, Llandudno, John Williams, Esq., Bodafon, agent of the Mostyn Estates, in the chair. All de- nominations were represented The Rev. Dr. Nicholas, of London, the secretary of the general committee, attended as a deputation, and at considerable length explained the nature of the institutions proposed to be established, and the plan of operations pursued. G. Felton, Esq., architect, Dr Ellis, Rev R. Parry, Mr Evans, and other gentlemen also spoke. A good local committee was formed with James Williams, Esq., a secretary, and resolutions were cordially adopted, pledging the meeting to the support of the movement. Several other meetings have been held in North Wales, not reported in our columns, and altogether the pros- pects of the work in the North seem to be very pro- mising. THE MARKET.—The inhabitants of this town and the district generally are very much indebted to the Mayor for the new arrangement in the market, which is not only a great convenience to the public, but to those who have various commodities for sale: The main thorough- fare through the centre of the market has gradually been encroached upon, principally by fruiterers and greengrocers, so that at certain seasons it was almost blocked up, and it was extremely difficult to get into the sheds where the hatters, weavers, and others, stand. In order to remedy this grievance, the Mayor has admirably re-arranged a large portion of the market, keeping together as much as possible those things that are allied to one another, and affixing a sign board to each shed, indicating what is sold there. The thorough- fares are now free from any obstruction, and there is ample room for everybody who has anything either to sell or buy. POLICE COURT.—At the Shire Hall, on Friday, before Valentine Davis, Esq., mayor, and J. Hughes, Esq., David Jones, alias Dai Dolaith, was charged with drun- kenness and assaulting the police. He was fined 40s. and costs, or one month's imprisonment with hard labour.—On Saturday, before the same magistrates, Magaret Jones, a prostitute, was committed to gaol for three months for being drunk and riotous.—On Monday, before Valentine Davis, Esq., mayor, and Capt. Davies. Thomas Price, St. Catherine-street, was charged with drunkenness and riotous conduct on Sunday, the 18th instant. He was fined 2s 6d and costs, or in default seven days' imprisonment. -Margaret Davies, sister of the defendant in the previous case, was charged with the like offence. She was reprimanded and discharged. —J ohn George Lewis, of Bridge-street, applied for a warrant of ejectment against Thomas Jones, of Dame- street. Applicant said I am the holder of some lease- hold houses in Dame-street. I let the defendant a room about two years ago, for one shilling a week. He has not paid me anything for ten months. I have given him notice to quit, but he will not leave.—David Evans said: I serve 1 a copy of the notice produced upon Thomas Jones on the 27th of August. Defendant said, "I will do very well about this again."—P.O. James said: I served a copy of this notice upon Thomas Jones, personally in Dame-street, on the 9th instant. I read it to him and explained it. He said, I will see about that again "—Order for ejectment in 21 days issued.— Mr. W. Morris, collector, applied for warrants of dis- tress against two persons for non-payment of poor rate, which were granted. ORDINATION.—At a General Ordination, held by the Right Reverend the Lord Bishop of St. David's, in the parish church of Abergwili, on Sunday, the 25th Sept., the following gentlemen were admitted into Holy Orders:—Deacons: David Jones, St. David's College, Lampeter; Daniel Owen Davies, St. David's College, Lampeter; David Henry Davies, St. David's College, Lampeter; Edward Edwards.

CARMARTHEN TOWN COUNCIL.—A special meeting was held on Monday last, in the Council Chamber. There were present Mr Valentine Davis, (Mayor,) Mr George White, Mr E. B. Jones, Mr W. Jones, Mr W. J. Morgan, Mr Adams, Mr J. N. Buckley, and Mr John Lewis.—The Mayor said he would not have given them the trouble to attend this meeting, to consider the reply of Earl Cawdor to the resolution come to at the meeting last week, if there had been any probability of an early meeting for some other purpose. He had con- sulted the Town Clerk, who thought there would be no meeting before the 9th of November, and he had there- fore taken on himself the responsibility of calling this special meeting. He then read the following letter:— "Stackpole Court, Sept. 22nd, 1864. Dear Sir,—As the Council does not feel justified in giving more than a nominal rent for the Castle Green property, I shall take no further steps in the matter. I have the honour to be, your obedient servant, CAWDOR. To the Mayor of Carmarthen."—The reading of this letter gave rise to no discussion whatever, the council having agreed at the last meeting that they would give no more than a nominal rent for the property.-The Mayor said that although this was a special meeting they would perhaps allow him to thank them for the confidence they had placed in him, by authorizing him to make certain arrangements in the market for the convenience of the public. He had now completed those arrangements, which, he believed, gave very general satisfaction. His attention was first drawn to the subject by the hat and flannel dealers, who justly complained that the avenues to their stalls were choked up by the vendors of fruit, who stood on Saturdays in the main thorough- fare of the market. This was, no doubt, a nuisance, but it could not be abated without providing a proper place for the fruiterers. That led to a re-arrangement of the stalls, and a whole shed was now appropriated to the fruiterers, which he was sorry was not quite large enough on Saturday last. That was however a full mar- ket, just at the height of a season unusually productive in fruit. Ordinarily the shed would be found sufficiently large. The vegetable people were delighted with the place allotted to them. In fact, there were no com- plaints worth noticing. He had, with the Surveyor, spared no pains in perfecting the arrangement, which he believed would be found as advantageous to the holders of the various stalls as it was to the public He had also put up sign boards over the sheds that strangers might know where the various commodities are sold.—Several Councillors expressed their approval of the new arrangement.—The meeting then terminated. THE NEW ENGLISH CHURCH.—The bazaar held in this town last week to promote the building of a New English Church in this town fully answered the expec- tation of its projectors, and will add a considerable sum to the fund in hand, Everything was conducted with the strictest propriety. The Mayor, who was a liberal supporter of it, contributed much to the eclat of the proceedings by his attention to the fair saleswomen, and his generous patronage of their exertions. On Friday evening there was a prominade concert, at which Miss Edith Wynne (Eos Pencerddes) and Miss Fanny Williams were the principal vocalists. Mr Brinley Richards (Pencerdd Towy), and Mr John Thomas (Pencerdd Gwalia), were the instrumentalists. The merits of these artistes are so well known that any eulogy on our part is as unnecessary as a detailed critique. We may observe that Miss Wynne has greatly improved since we last heard her in her style of singing, which shows very careful cultivation, while her articulation is as perfect as ever. Mr Brinley Richards displayed all the mastery over his instrument, which has made him so renowned a pianist. The pieces played by him were his own com- positions, including some of our national melodies. Mr John Thomas, too, played on the harp his own com- positions and arrangements of our fine old national airs. Through the instrumentali'y of these distinguished 1 musicians, the music of Wales has been more promi- nently brought before the English people, who are now wondering how such beautiful music bearing such dis- tinct nationality should have been so long neglected. Mr Brinley Richards's "Recollections of Wales and other arrangements of Welsh airs for the pianoforte, and Mr Thomas's splendid edition of Welsh songs supply a desideratum long felt; while the performance on the pianoforte and harp of the airs, together with the singing of the songs by our singers at the London and Welsh festivals, have created a furore in favour of Welsh music. Mr Thomas deservedly holds a first place as a harpist, and his performance at Carmarthen was fully equal to his reputation, being characterised by a delicate appreciation of his subject and faultless ex- pression. Miss Wynne, Mr Richards, and Mr Thomas very generously and liberally placed their gratuitous services at the disposal of the building fund committees, both here and at Neath. The Messrs. Broadwood, also, with great liberality sent at their own cost one of their grand pianofortes for the use of Mr Richards. The room was not so full as we expected to have seen it from the celebrity of the performers but no doubt it was owing to the unavoidable shortness of the announce- ment and the inclemency of the weather. RELIGIOUS TRACT SOCIETY. — A meeting in aid of this society wa3 held at the Assembly-room on Wed- nesday evening, and was presided over by Mr J. Adams, Dark-gate. The attendance was larger than former occasions, and increasing interest in the opera- tions of the society seemed manifested. The mepting was addressed by the Rev. E. Crisp, of Reading, the deputation from the Parent Society; the Rev. Mr Little, minister of the Congregational Church, Lammas- street the Rev. J. Evans, minister of Zion Chapel; and the Rev. Mr Phelp Wesleyan minister. It was stated that during the past year the best possible feeling had existed on the question between the mem- bers of all denominations, and tract-distributors had regularly gone their rounds, a new feature in the operations of the Carmarthen Auxiliary, which had hitherto contented itself by sending its contributions to the Parent Society. At the close of the meeting a liberal collection wns made. CARMARTHEN PETTY SESSIONS.—These sessions were held at the Shire Hall on Saturday last, before Col. Sir J. J. Hamilton, Bart., Capt. Davies, J. G. H. Philipps, Esq., Grismond Philipps, Esq., and Richard Jennings, Esq.—Mr Evan Evans, clerk to the Board of Guardians, against the overseers of the Poor of the parish of Llanfihangel-Abercowin, for not paying the treasurer the sum of j6140, amount of call due 6th August last. The overseers were ordered to pay the treasurer on or before the 29th inst., otherwise to be levied by distress.—A similar complaint against the overseers of Mydrim was settled, the overseers having paid the money.—Bridget Donovan, of Dame-street, Carmarthen, charged Jahanna Connor, of Goose-street, with an assault. Complainant said There was a drill. of potates at Green Castle, Llangain parish, belonging I to my husband, and Paddy Connor dug them and took them, and because I complained his wife assaulted me. She struck me. It was on Monday, the 19th of Sep- tember. Her sister threw a stone at me, but it did not touch me. There was no witness but the Lord and myself, and myoid man. Defendant's sister said I should go home a dead corpse.—Cross-examiaed by defendant: Defendant did strike me on the side of the head with her fist, but there is no token of the blow now. John Harvaty was on the field.—Dennis Donovan, complainant's husband, said: I saw Johanna strike my wife as she said.—John Harvaty, who was examined for the defence, said I am a ragman, and am neither kin, friend, nor relation to any of them. I was in the field at Green Castle at the beginning and the end of the row. They were quarrelling about a drill of potatoes, and I saw Johanna put her child down between the drills and go towards the old woman, but I saw no blow struck. I was in the next piece to them, about the length of this room away, and if a blow had been struck I must have seen it. They wore quarrelling for more than an hour, and when the row waxed very warm we ceased digging and looked on.—Both parties were bound over in j60 to keep the peace towards each other for six months, and each party to pay an equal share of the costs. The recognizances were entered into by their husbands. —Thomas Lewis, postboy at the Cawdor Arms Hotel, Llandilo, was fined 56 and costs for being drunk and incapable of managing a horse and trap, of which he was the driver.—J urors' lists were verified and allowed. SAINT CLEARS.—PETTY SESSIONS.—These sessions were held at the Swan Inn, St. Clears, on Tuesday last, before Capt. Beynon, Rev. Thomas Evans, and Timothy Powell, Esq .—Margaret Williams, Picton Ferry, St. Clears, charged David Williams, a sailor, who had served on board the notorious Alabama," with an assault. Defendant appeared, and said he struck her accidentally. Complainant said: Last evening, between six and seven o'clock, defendant assaulted me by striking me on my face, until I nearly fell. Ho has threatened me, and I am afraid of him. He did not appear to be enough and he said if I uttered a word he would do so again. Three women saw him strike me. I want surety of the peace. Defendant was bound over to keep the peace for six months, himself in £5, and one surety in £5. Jurors' lists were verified and allowed. CHARGE OF HOUSEBREAKING.—On Wednesday last, at the County Gaol, Carmarthen, before Grismond Phi- lipps, Esq., James Brown, Frederick Frank, and Thos. Williams, were brought up on remand, for having, on the 23rd instant, at Cwm, in the parish of Eglwys- cummin, feloniously entered the dwelling-house of one Joseph Davies, and stolen various articles therefrom. The prosecutor deposed that on Friday last he discovered that his house had been entered through the dairy window, which had been broken, and found that a waistcoat, a flannel shirt, and two pairs of shoes had been stolen, value about 21s. There was also some bread and cheese missing. The prosecutor identified the articles mentioned, and which were produced by Serjeant Saer, as his property, with the exception of the smaller pair of shoes, which he could not speak posi- tively to. His daughter, Anne Davies, was next exa- mined, and she corroborated her father's testimony, and also identified the smaller pair of shoes, and said that she was the last person leaving the house on the day in question; that she locked the door, and that the articles produced were then in the house. Some cheese and plank bread were also stolen, but she could not swear that what was produced was part of it. Benjamin James, a carpenter, living at the Red Roses turnpike-gate, said that he saw three men resembling the prisoners in height passing through the gate about five o'clock on Friday evening, and the shortest of them walked barefooted, having a pair of shoes slung over his shoulder. P-C. William Francis, of the Pembrokeshire Constabulary, stationed at Tavernspite, deposed that he apprehended the three prisoners at Narberth Workhouse on Saturday morning last, and charged them with having broken into the prosecutor's house at Cwm, which they denied. He found upon the prisoner Brown the flannel shirt, on Frank the waistcoat, and on Williams the largo pair of shoes produced. He took the prisoners into custody, and on the road they admitted the offence and showed witness where they had hidden another pair of shoes, and assisted him in searching for them. They were found in a hedge. Witness handed the prisoners and things over into the custody of Serjeant Saer. P.S. Saer pro red receiving into his custody from the last witness the three prisoners and the articles produced on the 24th instant. The prisoners, in answer to the usual caution, replied they did not wish to say anything, and were committed for trial at the next Quarter Sessions. LLANBOIDY.— NATIONAL SCHOOL.—TEA PARTY.— On the 23rd inst., the village of Llanboidy was the scene of much mirth and gaiety occasioned by the generosity and munificence of W. R. H. Powell, Esq., o £ Maes- gwynne, and his kind lady, the pupils of the new school lately erected by Mr Powell, being on this day regaled with a sumptuous tea, &c., in the schoolroom. On the arrival of the squire and his ladies at the scene about mid-day the children were marched through the village to a neighbouring field in the rear of Mr Richards'* house and shop, when a series of rustic sports ensued. Mr Powell with that kindness so characteristic of him en- tering heartily into the amusements of the young ones himself distributing the prizes, &c. In the meantime the tables, &c., in the schoolroom were being plentifully supplied with the good things of this life, under the im- mediate superintendence of Airs Powell and Mrs Ed- wardes, of Castlegorvod, assisted by Mrs Richards and Mrs Davies, the schoolmistress, and to the sumptuous spread the young ones after their exertions in the field did ample justice on their return. The thanks of the scholars were tendered in suitable terms bv one of the pupil teachers, to which Mr Powell replied with some very excellent observations. Cheers t-u for L Squire and his family, for the m re en. gIven and for the committee.

WIS es or elr FERRYSIDE.—On Tuesday evening last a concert m aid of the Carmarthenshire Infirmary, was given in h N. 1 S h I. e n rmary, was gIven III the National Schools, m this charming l'ttl t. I b th g I e Wit erlllg place, by the PatronageofMrsGori? £ 2 conductor was Mr A. Bowen, and his son Master A. Bowen pressed at the pianoforte with considerable taste and ability. The programme consisted ot sacred and secuiar music, and as all the performers were amateurs, it would be invidious to single out any of them for any special mark of approbation aumce to say that all did their best to delight a fashionable and crowded audience. Mr. J. Evans was very amusing in his comic singing, and contributed in no small degree to the success of the evening. We are happy to hear that Mr. W. Richards, solicitor, to whom the getting up of this entertainment is mainly attributable, will not only be able to hand over a handsome amount to the funds of this excellent institution, but has besides obtained two annual subscri- bers of £1 Is each, in aid of the charity. LLANELL Y. THE TREE PLANTED IN THE PEOPLE S PARK. — Last week, in our report of the in- teresting proceedings which took place at Llanelly on the 20th lIlst" we inadvertently ommitted to mention that the tree planted in the People's Park," by H. Thomas Howell, Esq., was grown at Mr. Joseph Coysh'.s Nurseries, Llanelly, and was kindly presented by him for the occasion. It is a handsome young tree from 4 to j feet high, and is of the WeUingtonia Gigantia species and grows in California to the height of 360 feet. It has not yet been ascertained to what height it will grow in this country. LLANELLY LOCAL GOVERNMENT BOARD. The elec- tion of members took place on Tuesday last. There being no opposition the retiring members, Mr R. T. Howell, Mr W. Thomas, Mr George, and Mr D. Morris were returned. EXCURSION. On Saturday last the third excursion of the workmen in the employ of Messrs Sims, Willyams and Nevill, took place. The men accompanied their families, filled sixteen carriages on the Llanelly railway, and proceeded to Llandovery, where they spent the day. The men are indebted to their employers for the treat. LECTURE. On Monday evening last a lecture was delivered at the Athenjeum by the Rev. Llewellyn Bevan on the Life and Writings of Thomas Hood," for the benefit of the Wesleyan Sunday School. The lecturer commenced by giving a very interesting and amusino- history of Hood's family, their struggles in early life his marriage, and first removal to London. He referred also to the irrepressible" humour which characterised all his writings, even his letters to his wife. After speaking of bis visit to Amsterdam, and his subsequent removal to Ostend, the lecturer went on to say that owing to his illness he was soon obliged to leave and he once more came to London. In 1844 his first magazine came out, of which 15,000 copies were sold. The lectuier then read a nnmber of Hood's most popular pieces of poetry, and concluded by speaking in high terms of the fortitude which he maintained in his last illness. At the conclusion of the lecture a vote of thanks was proposed by C. N. Broom, Esq., who spoke very highly of the lecturer, and thanked him for his kindness in coming forward to assist in so good and useful a cause. The motion was seconded by Mr S. Bevan, and carried amid applause. The Rev. M. Ingle occupied the chair. NEWCASTLE-EMLYN.—A.v AMATEUR CONCERT.— A concert was given here on the 12th inst., in aid of the funds for re-building the parish church of Llangol- man, in the county of Pembroke. The ladies and gentlemen of Tivy-Side kindly threw the whnln weight of their talent and influence into the work, and the result was, as might be expected, a complete success. The programme was well selected, and each performer strained every nerve to execute his or her part with the greatest care, so as to produce the effect of an harmonious whole. Many of the solos and part songs were vociferi- I ously encored, especially those of Miss Elliott, Mr Square, and Capt. Howell, the former dwelling on her Iiil',h notes with thrilling effect in her songs of "Tears, idle tears," Has sorrow thy young brow shaded," and the latter delighting the audience with his inimitable comic songs, producing bursts of applause and laughter. Mrs Elliott, of Dolhaidd, the Misses Lewes, of Llys. newydd, the Misses Ho wells, of Glaspant, and Mr Puddicombe, also largely contributed in the success of the concert by the cheerful and ready manner with which they volunteered their services. The national school room, where the concert was given, was decorated with artistic taste by the Misses Fitzwilliams, and the other young ladies of Newcastle-Emlyn, and was filled to overflowing with all the beauty, rank, and fashion of the Tivy Side. A very considerable sum was raised i tor the laudable purpose for which the concert was given. ^TESTIMONIAL.—A short time ago Mr Pierce, the road surveyor for the Newcastle Emlyn district of the Car- digallshir-3 Roads Board, was summarily dismissed by the County Roads Board, although at the time he gave the greatest satisfaction to the Guardians of the respec- tive parishes, who nearly all signed a memorial begging that he should remain in office; but it was not allowed to be presented. His friends deeply felt that indignity, although gratified to find that he soon succeeded in get- ting a more lucrative situation. Having been for eight years in the office, and his strict business habits and kind deportment winning universal approbation, it was resolved to present him with a testimonial upon leaving the neighbourhood. On Friday last his friends met to- gether at the shop of Mr James, jeweller and watch- maker, and selected a very handsome time piece, and had the following inscription engraved upon it: Pre- sented to Thomas Pierce, the late Road Surveyor of the Newcastle Emlyn District of the Cardiganshire Roads Board, as a mark of personal respect and an acknow- ment of the improvement in the roads in the last 8 years under his superintendence." -Communicated.

LLAN DO-VERY- -ARC NERY. -A-prize meeting of the Carmarthenshire Archery Club, being the last meeting of the season took place on the club ground of the Castle, near this place, on Friday last. This is now the third year since the establishment of the club, and tho' hitherto confined to the upper part of the county, its existence may be pronounced as fairly established, and its pros- pects of success for the future more promising, since it is intended so soon as railway communication along the entire length of the Vale of Towy shall have been com- pleted to remove the head-quarters of the club to Llandho, as a more ?entral and more convenient place of meeting for the residents of tho County. By the open- ing of the Llandilo and Carmarthen railway, the nume- rical strength of the club must increase in proportion to the facilities of access thereby afforded to its members. The shooting comuieilced at 1 p.m., and continued until half-past; five, with. an interval of one hour allowed for dinner, provided in one of the tents on the ground. During the day little or no rain fell, and the weather was as fine as could have been expected, with the ex- ception of the wind,which blew across the targets, and stronger than was conducive to long scores by ladies. The number of arrows shot were 12 dozen, and the following were the successful candidates GENTLEMEN'S PRIZES. hits value total Mr L. G. Lewis, for highest gross score 104 490 594 Mr C.

"I ?'. "I'll'.1-?'I'l CARDIGANSHIRE. I TIYY SALMON FISHERY ASSOCIATION. From the statement of accounts just published we learn that the receipts by subscriptions for the year ending the 6th of August, were £ 130 10s, including a balance of £49 9s in the hands of the Treasurer at the beginning of the year. The payments were £ 112 9s Id, leaving a ba- lance of X] 8 Os lid. The report, signed by the Hon. Secretaries, Mr J. P Pryse and Mr W. O. Brigstocke, is as follows" We regret to state that the finances are in a very impaired state, there being only a balance of X18 Os lid. We are, however, glad to say that the impossibility of carrying on the preservation of Salmon Fisheries by voluntary contributions has been at length acknowleged by Government, and a bill has been pre- pared by the Home Secretary, and will be introduced early next Session; it is so moderate and fair in ita provisions that there can be no doubt of its being passed into law. The chief points in it are-Ist. A local system of management; 2nd. A means of raising funds by licenses on all ongirief 3rd. More extended powers to water-bailiffs. There have been twelve convictions ) under the Salmon Fishery Act, 1861, during the current year. A very important question as to the interpreta- j tion of the J. I th Sec., has arisen with respect to certain nets used in the tideway, and the case will be decided by the Court of Queen's Bench in November. There arc only two watchers employed now, the funds of the Association being so low. Two men arc, however, wholly insufficient to thoroughly preserve even the lower part of the river. Most efficient aid has however been rendered by the police of the three counties adjoin- ing the Tivy. The large number of fish caught in the tideway during the summer assures us that the effects of partial preservation are already showing themselves. If however, we are left without means of paying the watchers during the ensuing winter, all the good effects will be destroyed by the wholesale poaching which is sure to ensue. We therefore beg you will at once pay your subscription either to one of us, or Messrs Wilkins and Co., Cardigan."

Jane Jones corroborated the complainant's statements. The defendant was bound over to keep the peace.—Robert Sweeny, cabinet-maker, of this town, was charged with having stolen a shirt from the bed- room of Mr George Rae, book-keeper at the Belle Vue Royal Hotel.-Mr Jonathan Pell, said: I am the pro- prietor of the Belle Vue Royal Hotel. About a quarter past eleven o'clock, on the night of Saturday last, I was called to the bedroom of George Rae, and informed that some boys or boy had been there and escaped. I then communicated with P.S. Thomas, and at the same time I met the defendant, John Williams, and detained him until the police arrived. I charged the defendant with having been in my house, when he said that the defendant Sweeny had taken him there. Williams has been in my employ, but he had ceased to be so for the last six months. I caught the defendant at the corner of Terrace-road. He admitted he had taken off his boots in the hayloft. The front and back doors of No. 30 were closed at the time.—David Richards, ostler at the Belle Vue, said-About 12 o'clock last Saturday night I was called to the house No. 20 on the Terrace, which forms part of the Belle Vue Royal Hotel. I went to Mr liae's bedroom, when he told told me there was a thief in the next room. I went in search of the thief. I heard a noise in the hayloft. I entered the loft and asked, Who is there ?" when the defendant Williams said, Don't say it is me and Bob Sweeny." Before another ostler came the defendant went out at the back. I was present when Mr Pell caught him at the corner of Terrace-road. The defendant had no shoes on. I did not see the defendant in Rae's bedroom, but I followed him quickly.-Georgo Rae said- -I am a book-keeper at the Belle Vue, and sleep at No. 20. I was laying on the bed, and heard a noise at the door. I saw a boy's head, looking into the room. The last witness came to me, and then went in search of the thief. On Sunday morn- ing I missed a linen shirt. The shirt now produced is my property. It was brought to me by one of the servant girls living at the Belle Vue Royal Hotel.- Jane Morgans, servant at the Belle Vue Hotel, said On Sunday morning last I found a shirt in the Terrace which adjoins tho Belle Vue. I immediately gave the shirt, as I found it, to Elizabeth Williams, my fellow servant.—John Williams, one of the prisoners, being sworn, said On Saturday last Robert Sweeny offered a shirt to me on sale, and at the same time showed me part of it onder his coat. He wanted a shilling or two for it, to have some beer. He told he had it in Rae's bedroom. Elizabeth Williams said: I am a servant at the Belle Vue. The shirt I had of the Witness Jane Morgans I gave to the bookkeeper, Mr Rae. The shirt is the one now produced. -Sergeant Thomas said The shirt now produced is the one delivered to me by the wtiness George Rae.-J ohn Williams was committed to the House of Correction at Cardigan for one calendar month, with hard labour, for being found in the house for unlawful purpose, and Robert Sweeny was committed for three months, with hard labour, he being guilty of stealing the shirt. A PREACHER IN TROUBLE.—The Rev. Mr Davies, alias Johnson, a young man, we are informed, from the neighbourhood of Lampeter-Pontstephen, who is known in some parts of South Wales as a travelling preacher, the sect or denomination being not as much an object as maintenance. This young man came to this town about twelve months ago and pretended to belong to the Independents, representing himself to be a student in Carmarthen College; he preached several times at the Independent Chapel, in this town, and was well received, until he became tiresome. lie then began making acquaintance with the members of the Baptists at this place and was baptised, and actually allowed to preach for that denomination before he had left tho town he has been since travelling the country and playing similar tricks at various places, and has been brought before the public more than once in the Welsh papers as The Welsh Turpin." And to conclude, this bold and daring young fellow is now in prison in this town, charged with stealing a pair of stockings in the neighbourhood of Pontrhydfendigaid, and will be ex- amined at Llanilar on Friday, the 30th instant (this day). TOWN COUNCIL.—At a meeting on Tuesday last, T. O. Morgan, Esq (mayor), in the chair, several lots of the land belonging to the Corporation, situate on the Marsh, near the Town Hall, in this town, were leased for build- ing purposes. The inilux of visitors at this place during the summer, was so great as to call attention to the want of better accommodation. We are glad to see men of enterprise speculate in building.

MONEY AND RAILWAY MARKETS. WEDNESDAY.—The Funds continue to suffer from the unsettled state of trade and mercantile failures. Busi- ness was generally languid throughout the day, and prices receded till at length a general depreciation was apparent The fall was most intense towards the close of the afternoon, when the dealers and jobbers were in a position of general confusion. Foreign stocks were, on the whole, pretty steady, and Spanish improved. The great change was in bank, finance, and credit shares which fell upon every transaction. There was a little more steadiness in the after hours, but still the latest values exhibited much depression. English Securities were generally dull, but the market was not violently agitated. Consols for money were negociated at 87 and 87g; for the account the trans- actions ensued at 88 88 and 88; Reduced and New Three, per Cents, were purchased at 85g to 86 Bank Stock, 243 India Stock, 209 to 0 India Five per Cents. 0 to 0 Rupee Paper, 0 to 0; Exchequer-bills, 12s and 4s dis. for March, and 23s to 13s dis. for June and India Bonds 20s dis.

LLECHRYD CHURCH. TO THE EDITOR OF THE "WELSHMAN." SIR,—Having occasion to stay over last Sunday at II Llechryd, and being a churchman, I went to church, where I was glad to find several improvements, such as new seats, new windows, &c. But I was greatly sur- prised to find the attendance so very thin—a few gentle- men, their families and servants, constituted the whole congregation. Being one of those who believe there is a cause for everything, I enquired after the service was over of a person on the road what was the cause of the scantiness of the church congregation, and he shaking his head informed me that there was neither Welsh service read, nor Welsh sermons preached within the holy precincts. You may imagine my horror when I learnt this fact, whereby above one fourth of the parish- ioners who do not understand English, and know not the difference between 11 yes" and a mountain, are thus excluded from hearing the sweet message of the Gospel. Is is strange that the people wend their way towards the two chapels in the village to seek what they cannot have in church ? I am, sir, yours obediently, PEREGRINUS.

REPRESENTATION OF THE PEMBROKE BO- ROUGHS. TO THE EDITOR OF "THE WELSHMAN." SIR,-I know you will be pleased to learn that the return of Mr Potter for the Pembroke Boroughs is re- garded here as certain. We seem all agreed that he will, more fitly than any other gentleman who has been named, represent the commercial interests of Pembroke- shire, and more especially of Milford Haven. We have no wish to put politics altogether aside, and in selecting Mr Potter we have not done so, for he is a Liberal-Con- servative. Whatever that may mean in other places we understand it here as meaning a moderate politician- one who stands aloof from the two great parties in the state, and who is prepared to give an independent vote on every question as it arises. Some of us would, per- haps, prefer a more decided Liberal, but we cannot get him, with the other, and for us the higher qualifications Mr Potter possesses. I take it, that Mr Potter as a politician is not objectionable to the great body of elec- tors in these boroughs. Let us hear no more, then, about our want of consistency. It has been said that Mr Potter is made the instrument of a Tory clique. Now, that is really not true, for he is supported here, in greatest strength by the Liberals who fought hard for Sir Hugh Owen at the last election. I declare most solemnly that we have not been influenced by the Conservatives in our choice. Sir Hugh has dis- appointed us. We hoped he wonld have turned out very differently to what he has done. We have lost confidence in him, and we are satisfied he is not the man to serve us. That is why we turn to Mr Potter, who we believe will have the support of the Conserva- tives, and we hope, too, the support of Mr Meyrick, who some half dozen people delight to lampoon. Mr Mey- rick is a young man who can afford to wait until he is better known by the electors. By supporting Mr Potter he would consolidate his own political influence, and show that he is not moved in this matter by purely sel- fish interests. I must acquit him and his friends from any complicity in the so-called Tory Plot, which has in fact no existence whatever, except in the imagination of two or three partizans of Sir Hugh Owen, who are vexed that they were not censulted by the supporters of Mr Potter. It is worthy of remark, that when you first noticed the candidature of Mr Potter those vexed electors who said, "Pooh! pooh!! we don't believe a word of it," now admit the truthfulness of your statement. It is clearly understood that Sir Hugh Owen has displeased his constituents and that they intend returning Mr Potter at the next election. A LIBERAL. Pembroke-Dock, 28th Sept. A LIBERAL.
