iuscal information. THE ASSOCIATION OF THE WELSH CALVINISTIC METHODISTS met this w eek at Pwllhely, and several of that persuasion have gone from this place by the Steamer Victoria to attend the same. THE CAMBRIAN ARCHÆLOGICAL ASSOCIATION, which met last week at Rhyl, have fixed upon Cardigan as their next place of meeting, the neigh- bourhood of which is said to abound in objects of antiquarian and historical interest. EXTRAORDINARY !-A day or two ago we were shewn a sprig, hardly 9 inches in length, taken from a tree in the hedge of a garden at Rhydyfelin, near this town, with the extraordinary number of 75 plums clustered together in one mass! TEMPERANCE.—A second lecture on this subject, in connexion with the working class, was delivered on Monday evening last, in the large room over the Cambrian Foundry, in this town, by the Rev. Owen Jones, Dowlais, Mr. John Matthews in the chair. The meeting was well attended, and the address gave great satisfaction. LLANGOLLEN EISTEDDFOD.-T. 0. Morgan, Esq., of this town, has been appointed one of the judges of Composition at the forthcoming National Eis- teddfod in the Province of Powys, on the 21st inst., and four successive days, which meeting is expected to be on a very magnificent scale, and at which it is said his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales will be present. THE TOWN CLOCK.—Since our former notice, the works of the Clock to be put up in the new Tower in the centre of the town,—the gift of Pryse Love- den, Esq.have arrived per the Plynlymon Steam- er and the tone of the Bell has been tried and proved to the satisfaction of the inhabitants, by various juvenile and other amateurs. Mr. Russell, the maker, is expected next week to put the whole together, when we shall know the time by day as well as by night, and no mistake, as the dial will be illuminated. TOWN CocNdL.—A special meeting of the Council was held on Tuesday last, at the Town Hall. Present -T. Jones, Esq., (Ex-Mayor,) in the chair, Messrs. J. Miller, T. W. Wells, J. Matthews, J. Roberts, L. Pugh, J. Davies, G. Thomas, R. Watkins, and C. t, Marshall. The draft conveyance from the Corpora- tion to the Welsh Calvinistic Methodists of a certain piece of land, on the Sandmarsh Road, was perused, and the external plan of the new Chapel intended to be built theron examined. Beside which no busi- ness of any public import was transacted. PETTY SESSIONS.—On Tuesday last, at the Town Hall, before David Edwards, Esq. Ellen Williams against Mary James, alias Mary Lletty'rgegin, who had been summoned to appear for having used abusive language towards her. The defendant not appearing, the magistrate ordered the case to be adjourned for a week. COMMISSIONERS' MEETING.—The usual monthly meeting of this body was held on Tuesday last, at the Town Hall. Present-Messrs. Charles Hackney, (in the chair,) E. Jones, J. Hughes, E. W. Jones, D. Jenkins, R. Selby, J. Watkins, Evan Jones, E. Rowland, D. Williams, T. Cleaton, C. Marshall, D. Jones, Evan Jones, (spirit dealer,) R. Morris, L. Jones, Joel Evans, R. Watkins, and T. W. Wells. Several of the newly-elected Commissioners took the necessary oath of qualification. Certain bills were examined and passed. The Rate Collector informed the board that upwards of £ 179 was now owing by the Commissioners to the Bank. It was ordered that the street committee should visit the North Parade and Terrace Road, and report at their next meeting the state of the pavement in certain places. Complaints were made of the Nanteos gardener depositing his vegetable store in front of the Clock Tower, and refusing to remove therefrom at the bidding of the Surveyor. It was decided that Mr. Wells should be seen and spoken to on the subject. Mr. Cleaton complained of pigs being allowed to be at large in the streets, which indeed was of daily occurence, and wanted to know whose duty it was to see them secured or otherwise im- pounded. The Surveyor considered it was not his province to clear the streets of pigs or donkeys. Resolved that the street committee should wait upon the Mayor to request his ordering the police to im- pound these straggling grunters wherever fonnd. The Surveyor was empowered to treat with Mr. Hugh Hughes for a part of a yard in Moor Street, wherein to keep materials belonging to the Com- missioners. CORONER'S INQUEST.—On Thursday last, an in- quest was held at the Town Hall, before J. M. Davies, Esq., Coroner, and a respectable jury, Mr. David Jones, foreman, on the body of Miss Frances Barnard, aged 55 years. The deceased it appears arrived in this town on Saturday last, as a visitant, and on Wednesday last, as was her usual habit, she retired to her bedroom after dinner, about 3 o'clock; and about half-past 5, on a person proceeding to the bedroom, deceased was found lying on the ground quite dead. A verdict of-Found dead was returned.

— TOWYN, MERIONETH. FATAL GUN ACCInENT. On Saturday last, a young man, aged 20 years, named William Davies, residing at Gwyndy, near this town, met with his death under the following circumstances. He went out shooting, with a friend, on the eveng in ques- tion and after a short time they separated, the one going into another field. William Davies, in getting over a hedge, put his gun on the bank, with muzzle up, and at full cock. After he got over, when in the act of dragging the gun after him, it went off, and the contents were lodged in his breast! He was killed on the spot. A coroner's inquest was held on the body, on Monday, before G. J. Williams, Esq., and a respectable jury, Mr. A. Hunt, foreman, when a verdict of Accidental Death wys returned.

CORRESPONDENCE. To the Editor of the" Aberystwith Observer." SIH,—When at Aberystwith my attention has often been directed to the searciiy of water prevailing there. I found certain people complaining that although they were charged a heavy rate, they could get no water; others that, although they obtained a scanty supply by dint of sinister appliances, occasion- ally; yet it was red, muddled, and unfit for human use. Struck with the peculiar position of the place, and the configuration of the surrounding lulls, I asked myself, Can it be possible that Aberystwith is naturally denied this great blessing-an element so desirable with reference to the health of the inhabitants, to say nothing of their necessities? From enquiry to enquiry I found that the rivers that flow into the town fall I in 70, or 754'28 feet in a mile. I began to consider that the reservoir that supplies the town was placed about 150 feet above its average level. I know, from travelling over the great engineer- ing works that supply the mines, all situated many hundreds of feet above the town, that the declination of their watercourses was only I in 720, or 7'54 feet in a mile; and by a parity of reasoning, I could clearly see that if undereourses were extended 2 miles and a fraction from the reservoir, they would as a necessity intersect the waters of the Rheidoi, Lery, and Ystwyth, and consequently intercepts'1 the intervening streams arising in the high ground, and failing into these rivers. I also observed that, the quantity of wafer the mining engineers brought to their wheels, was at least lOOt) gallons per minute, and that for making a watercourse 2 feet wide in the bottom, they usually pay f22 per riiiie. Jfotv o"ly supposing a watercourse was cut in this manner for 2 miles from the reservoir, it would not only bring arj ample supply of water for the use of the people, but a quantity that might be used for iounta^ns and waterfalls, or otherwise embellishing the town. The cleanliness, the health, the beauty of this delightful little watering place is concerned in having this work speedily effected and without wishing to disparage the ability of my fellow medical men in Aberystwith, I must an<^ I ?ay it in sorrow, that the absence of a fair supp.y 0f water to Aberystwith is a reflection upon the faculty caterers for the public health. And if I were living in the .own, and considered myself a guardian of its salubrity, I would never cease agitating until I had obtained for it the copious, supply which it is so easy to secure. But it should not be merely for the utilitarian purposes of beverage and household requirements, but it should administer as well to the higher considerations of health and ornament; it should be a monument to ttie reflective faculties of this generation. I mention this the Tuore earnestly as I have heard strangers hesitating in their in- tended visits to Aberystwith, hinting at encountering a mephitic or scanty supply of that element that we are now in the habit of looking upon as essentially efficacious to our comfort and health, and that in aU civilized communities is now-a-days looked upon as "free as the air we breathe." I hope this hasty note will awaken attention to this all-important matter, and be the means of removing all difficulties militating against the inhabitants of Aberystwith obtaining in future an abundant quantity of pure water. I am, Sir, Your obedient Servant, EVAN ROWLANDS, Surgeon,
