The defen- dant's brother was then in custody on a charge of stealing timber. The police-officers had from that time been endea- vouring to apprehend the prisoner, but he had contrived to keep out of the way. Defendant stated as follows:— I told him he should not take my brother, unless he took other parties. He left my brother go, and ran after me. I said if lie collared me, I would strike him, and he said 'strike me 8everal times, but I did not strike him." Fined I Os., and costs. MAY 20.-Before Edmund Hills Stacey, and David Davies, Esqrs.—John Evans, a tall blacksmith, known in Carmarthen by the cognomen of The Old Offender," was brought up from the station-house, where he had indulged his sober moments in cool reflection from Sunday morning, was charged with being drunk and disorderly in the public streets, late on the Saturday night, or rather early on the morning of the Sabbath. The evidence against the Old Offender" was short and concise. The policeman being sworn said, that the defendant was drunk as usual, in Lammas-street, on Sunday morning, that Miles Davies, another police-officsr, had taken him home •nee during the night, and that he had acted in the same courteous spirit towards him a second time, but that kindness had no effect on this worthy, as he was no sooner in than Out, creating a disturbance in the public streets.—The magistrates, after hearing a half Welsh and English defence from their old acquaintance, taking into consideration his having been in durance vile from Sunday morning to the Monday morning, reprimanded and discharged him.— John Davies, miller, of Catherine-street, was charged with an assault on the person of Jane Jones, wife of David Jones, hatter, on the previous Saturday. Complainant said that she took some wheat to the defendant's mill, on Saturday last, to be ground, that during the time she was in the mill, defendant who was drunk, came up stairs and caught hold of her by the arm, pinching her, asking at the same time what she wanted there, telling her to go down orhe would kick her over the stairs. Complainant -said she complied with his request, and came down from the mill, when defendant came after her into the •treet, calling her back to weigh th« proceeds of the corn, fhat she went out a third time, when defendant again ran after her, and kicked her. Mary Lewis sworn, said that she Was standing by her own door, and saw John Davies kicking complainant violently, and trying to choke her. Defendant was drunk at the time. Defendant said he committed no assault, but thnt he suspected complainant had made free with the corn in the mill, as on its being weighed after grinding, it turned out to be more in weight than when the grain was brought to the mill. This statement was, _to some extent, proved but the magistrates blamed the miller lor taking the law into his own hands, and very considerately fined n im 'one shilling, and the costs. May 23.-Before Edmond Hills Stacey and John George Philipps, Esqrs.—Sidney Smith, John Jones, Charles Hooper, Thomas Candy, John Biyan, and John Phelps, part of a gang of vagrants who were admitted on the previous night; into the Union Workhouse, were charged by John Jones, the master, with refusing to work on the morning of the aay in question, and were severally committed to the treadmill or fourteen days each. TOWN COUNCIL.—-On Saturday last, the 18th instant, Henry Norton, Esq., brewer, of Carmarthen, was elected Common Councilman for the Western Ward of that trough, vacant by the lamented death of Richard Edward Jones, ^*&ILITARY CHANGES.—Captain Halkett's troop of the 14th Light Dragoons, heretofore etationed at Carmarthen, left that I ce,, en route, for Ipswich, on Tuesday morning last; and on Wednesday moroipg, Captain Dixon's troop of the I3th Light Dragopns arrived in that town to replace them. SKBIOUS ACCIDENT.—On Saturday evening la6t Mr. John Hancock, a respectable farmer, Irongr at Nantyrhebog, near Carmarthen, was journeying homeward, and when near the ftnn of Pontgarreg the mail-coach overtook -him. A person <? the name of Jonas was on horseback, and bis horee toning suddenly round ran against IlancocK, knocking him down. when the jnail horses, if not the majl itself, passed hinh—breaking several of his nbs, and otherwise doing lam STeerions injury. He was immediately conveyed Wck Wthe DwverV Anns, Camarthen, where be now lies in a very precarious state. ECLIPSE.—A total eclipse of the moon will take place on the last day of the present month, the 31 st instant. It will commence at fourteen minutes after eight in the evening, and end at twenty-six minu es after one. This eclipse will be-visible in the United Kingdom. It is stated on good authority that Mr. Faiikland Lewis is preparing, by the direction of the Government, a bill for regulating turnpike trusts in Wales, in conformity with the commissioners' report.—Globs.

PEMBROKESHIRE TRUE IVORITES.—A turn-out of the brethren of the Corner ap Japheth" Lodge, took place at New Chapel, near Cardigan, on Thursday, the 9th instant. The pr cession, preceded by a band of music, with splendid banners, on which were appropriate devices and mottos, were allowed to perambulate the beautiful walks of the mansion of Kilwendeage, and were entertained with every mark of respect by Miss Jones, who presented them also with a handsome donation for the benefit of the Lodge. The procession also visited the seat of John Colby, Esq., Ffynncnau, and Clynfiew, the seat of W. Lewis, Esq., from whence W. H. Lewis, Esq., joined the procession to Manor- deivy church, where an appropriate sermon was preached by the Rev. Mr. Jones, of Newcastle-Emlyn. After divine service, the procession returned in the same order to New Chapel, where an excellent dinner was provided them by the worthy host and hostess Mr. and Mrs. Charles. After the cloth had been removed, the usual loyal and patriotic toasts were proposed with spirit and received with applause. W. H. Lewis, and John Colby, Esqrs., honored the brethren with their company, after dinner, who upon returning thanks in excellent speeches for drinking their healths, observed, that as long as the brethren proved faithful and constant to their rules, they would at all times continue to patronise and support them. The example of these gentlemen on this occasion is worthy of imitation. The health of Miss Jones, of Kilwendeage, with thanks to her for allowing the procession to perambulate the walks of Kilwendeage, and her very handsome donation was also proposed and received with loud cheering. The company broke up at an early hour, and it is well worthy of remark that not one appeared in the least intoxicated. ABERYSTWYTH.—On the 20th instant, as a little girl, named Ann Davies, was passing by a pool near Llanbadarn, known in this part as Pwll Simon, she saw a bundle in the water, she called to several men who were working in a field near the place to pick it up. When taken out of the pool it was discovered to be a fine new-born child. A girl has been taken up, by Mr. J. Davies, superintendent of police, who lived in the neigh l ourhood; she was this day examined at Llanbadarn, before the coroner Richard Williams, Esq., Capt. Davies, of Crigie, and R. O. Powell, Esq. She was remanded to the house of correction, Aberystwyth, until Saturday next for further examination. Great praise is due to Mr. Davies for his activiiy.

MELANCHOLY AND FATAL ACCIDENT.—On Saturday last an inquest was held before Charles Collins, Esq., on the body of John Harry, of Rhosilly, Gower, who met with his death in the following manner he left his home on the Wednesday morning previous, and was seen in Reynoldstone village the same evening, where he called at a public house for some beer; after which, he left the village for the purpose of gaining permission from John Lucas, Esq., of Stouthall, to get some young rooks from the trees adjoining his park but not being able to see him on his arrival there, be was re- quested by the housekeeper to call some other day, when he would be able to see her master, and in all probability gain his permission; he accordingly left the house, and it is supposed, proceeded immediately to the trees to climb, and there is not the least doubt that in so doing he must have laid hold of a decayed branch, a considerable height from the bottom of the tree which gave way, as a decayed branch was discovered by his side, also the place where it had parted from the tree, and he was consequently precipitated to the bottom- his head must have come in contact with a sharp stone near the spot where he was found, as the grass which grew partly over it, appeared to have been cut by the fall—in all proba- bility death was instantaneous, as there were no appearances of his having struggled. His friends had missed him from Wednesday morning, until the following Friday, during which time they had been making a very diligent search to no purpose; but discovering, at last, from some persons who had heard him say that he intended going to Stouthall for some rooks, they proceeded to the spot, where he laid, in the same position as when he fell. He has left a family of seven children, destitute.—Swunseu Journal. A BE4ST-HOUSE WILFULLY SET ON FIRE.—We have to record a most diabolical act, which was committed by three young men, named NVm. Edward, Richard Thomas and William Thomas, colliers, at a place near Merthyr, on the night of Monday se'nnight, by which a cow was des- troyed. It appears that they had been drinking freely, and on returning from their debauch, had amused themselves by committing this wanton act. They were committed to prison for the offence by the stipendiary magistrate, but were admitted to bail, in £ 200 each, and themselves in £ o0 each. BODY FOUND.—On Monday evening last two men, in search of cattle on Palleg Common, near the Black Mountain, discovered the body of a man lying with his face down wards It was in an advanced state of decomposition, having been dead apparently upwards of a month. It was dressed in a dark brown cloth coat, the sleeves of which had been mended at the elbows, fustian trousers and waistcoat. One of the shoes were found at a distance of twenty yards from the body. There were no marks of violence. An inquest has been held on the body before Mr. Maybery, but no clue to its identity obtained. SHIPWRECKS. Information of the total wreck of the New Volunteer, of Swansea, the property of Mr. f. B. Essery, was received during the week. She sailed from Swansea about two months ago, laden with coals for Malaga, where her cargo was delivered. She was wrecked in the Malaga Straits, while on her voyage to Cadiz, in ballast. All hands were saved. The vessel is partly msured.-A report of the total wreck of the brig Helen, J. Simpson, master, belonging to the Messrs. Richardson, of this town, appears in a New York paper, which states that she went ashore at S. Edisto, South Carolina, was water logged and abandoned by the crew, all of whom were saved. She left Swansea on the 24th of January, and sailed about the beginning of February, from Newport, with iron, for Charleston. Nire understand she was only partially insured. The Welsh are indefatigable in many parts of the princi- pality, in getting up petitions to the Legislature, to have a judge, conversant with the language of the people, to preside over the courts intended to be established by the County Courts Bill. SUDDEN DEATH OF AN ACTOR.-On Monday se'nnight, the family of Mr. Nantz, an actor, were thrown into the greatest distress, in consequence of his almost sudden demise, ft appeared that Mr. Nantz had on the Saturday evening previous sustained his character at the Victoria Theatre, when he appeared in his usual good health and spirits. On Sunday, however, he complained of fever, and medical assis- tance was called in, when it was thought that he would have been able to resume his professional duties, but he died on the evening following. Mr. Nantz was about thirty-three or thirty-four years of age, and has been considered one of the greatest audience favourites of the establishment. The de- ceased it is believed, was unmarried, and resided with his mother in Stamford-street. He was much respected by his professional brethren—Mr. Nantz was engaged at the Swan- sea Theatre a few seasons ago, and was then considered a very promising actor.

BIRTHS. On the 16th instant, the wife of Mr. Lloyd, ironmonger, Bridge-street, in this town, of a son. On Sunday morning last, at Carmarthen, the wife of Mr. John Lewis, ot the King's Head, Bridge-street, of a son. On the 18th inst., Mrs. Jones, wife of Mr. Thomas Jones, ropemaker and timber-merchant, Aberystwyth, of a daughter. MARRIAGES. On Sunday last, at St. Mary's Church, by the Rev. D. Adams, Mr. T. James, to Miss Cole, both of this place. On the 21st inrt., at the Tabernacle, Milford, by the Rev. W. Warlow, the Rev. Joseph Rees, to Miss Robbin, both of Little Haven.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR. Snu—I have Reen a public notice posted on the walls of the town, directing that the public streets shall be kept clear from rubbish, &c.: I wish that the Back Lane, or Dark- street as they call it, came under the same act, (as it is almost the greatest thoroughfare in town), so that it might not be allowed to be blocked up as it is at present and has been for some time past No carriage or cart can pass at night, when the gas is out, without a great. risk of upsetting and perhaps causing loss of life. The gas commissioners ought to look about them, and not allow «ich obstruction? to be left so long in the street without an indictment being brought against the pasties scr gffending. « • MR. EDITOR,—Mr. William Cozens, sir, like Mr. Peck- sniff, in Boz's new work, Martin Chuzzfewit," has an- nounced himself the Shield of Virtue I might almost say, a very Don Quixote which gentleman, it is well known, set out as a knight errant, travelling through solitudes and deserts, seeking adventures, with a determined resolution to oppose his arm, and his person, to the most perilous that fortune should present, in aid of the weak and the needy." Hear, oh ye Roose Justices, what your champion, Mr. Cozens, tells you For you, who courteously admitted, and acted 10 upon, my representation of a jurisdiction being in you, upon some occasion when I appeared as an advocate before you," I do now, unasked," wage battle on your behalf; but, at the same time, be it remembered, that I am the scourge and terror of all magistrates who act improperly; that in fact I am their public denouncer and prosecutor." I am led to bring this important fact to your notice, from having read a letter addressed by "The Champion" to the Editor of the Welshman, a copy of which appeared in last week's publication of that journal. He refers to a letter of mine that appeared in your paper about a fortnight before, on the subject of a magisterial decision on the claim of two mates of the ship Cabotia," for non-payment of wages, which was allowed on the ground that the ship's flooring not having been taken up, and the ship making an inch of water per hour, the seamen had a right to presume that the ship was not seaworthy, and had therefore, also, a perfect right to leave her and enforce their wages whenever they thought proper. Their decision, made on that ground, was of so much importance to persons engaged in the repairing ships at Milford, that, with your assistance, I published it in the form of a letter for their guidance in all future cases of the sort. The justices themselves have said nothing contrary to what I have stated, nor has their clerk, by whose advice they acted but Mr. Cozens says they were right in their decision; and who will presume to doubt the dictum of so learned a personage! Surely, sir, if Mr. Cozens had rested on his bare assertion, it would have been madness in so humble an individual as c myself to presume to dispute so high a legal authority: I should have deemed it wise to remain satisfied that Mr. Cozens, like Dan O'Connell, could drive a coach and six through any act of Parliament, and that he had discovered some knotty point in 5th and 6th Wil. 4, c. 19, that my comparatively obscure vision could not reach but, sir, now that I have found that he puts himself forth to the world as a resurrectionist—a raiser of the dead, what otherwise can I do ? Sir, he has offered to do what no man else could by any possibility; and which, if he does, will entitle him to hold a higher station than the Queen, Lords, and -Commons,—> taking them as separate estates. He has declared, sir, that the provisions of -an act of Parliament, called the 59th Geo. 3, c. 58, are still in existence, though our late most revered Sovereign, in conjunction with his faithful Lords and Com- mons, did, nearly nine years ago, consign them "to the tomb of all the Capulets." After this, sir, I have done. Mr. Cozens's power and ability are, by his own shewing, so exceedingly transcendent, ttiat, as a laii,yer, I feel myself sunk into utter insignificance before him. If, however, sir, it be found that Mr. Cozens has no more power than other men, over the laws of his country, he should, before entering" the arena" on behalf of the virtuous portion of the Pembrokeshire magistracy, arm himself with other weapons than his own unsupported assertion, a defunct act of Parliament, and two obsolete cases, "The Edwins" and Test," neither of which can be found in the modern books of practice. I am, Mr. Editor, Your obliged and obedient servant, GEORGE P ARBY. Ilaverford vVest, May 21, 1844. SOUTH WALES RAILWAY. SIR,—Nothing can more plainly prove the strength of the arguments used in my last letter, than the circumstance that; Observer'" does not attempt attacking one of them, par- ticularly when it is recollected, he unhesitatingly avows his intention of doing so, whenever my weak points" afforded him an opportunity. In the present controversy, these he will have a difficulty in discovering, and I caution him to beware, lest fancying he has hit upon one, he unguardedly makes a thrust, which being dexterously parried, lays him open to my weapon, carte over the arm, and becomes the first to loose blood,—his vitals are greatly exposed. From his concluding observations, however, I am almost inclined to opine that he is already "tired of the fight," fearful per- haps the discussion may elicit facts anything but favourable to the Fishmiard route, in this he is right, for my argument like the alpine avalanche must acquire strength as it advmices. 11 Vires acquirit emido." I am taunted of being ubiquitous to this I plead not guilty,"—mere reference to my first letter will acquit me of the charge, therein I stated that a railway terminating on the banks of Milford Haven, must ultimately become the route to the whole of the South and West of Ireland, vjâ. Waterford as a matter of course, but even supposing the charge substantiated, I maintain Milford and Fishguard are not alone to be taken into account in the selection of a terminus other ports—those on the opposite side I mean- must be included in the consideration, before the whole question can be fairly and properly decided for instance, Milford with all its unrivalled advantages would not be so truly desirable for the purpose as it is, if it had such an ineligible port as Wexford instead of Waterford—for its vis- a-vis. Observer" speaks of vessels taking shelter in Fish- guard, and being able to put to sea again with any wind." Suppose a fleet bound to the West Indies,—nay, not a fleet, for Fishguard could never he made to accommodate a sufh- cient number of West-Indiamen to be accounted a fleet. Suppose then an equal number of vessels detained by south- west winds at Milford and Fishguard the wind shifts to almost any point that those vessels can lay their course, but still blowing a gale—what would be the result ? W hy, those from Milford would make their passage, while these at Fish- guard would there be obliged to remain until a further change, as every practical sailor must at once admit. The very winds favorable for the voyage must of necessity detain them at Fishguard, while it favors them from Mil- ford. The disadvantages of a sou-wester, to vessels thus situated are alike to both places. Hear what Blackford, the Hydrographer, says in his sailing directions, third edition. Milford Haven is considered to be the niost secure and commodious harbour in England, its entrance is s6 wide, and the water in it so deep, that you may, even with a contrary wind, and without the assistance of a pilot, go either in or out with the tide, as well by night as by day, with the greatest safety. If a ship should happen to come in without having either anchor or cable on board, she may run ashore on soft ouze in Nangle bay, and lie there without danger." Again, at page 105, lie says, "There are no pilots to be met with on the the look out for this Haven, it being so easy of access, their assistance can seldom be wanted. Large vessels can run up to Neyland in one tide, and return even from Lawrenny in another, and should the wind be north, south, or east, this passage may be made in two hours. There is no difficulty to be encountered in entering the harbour, and in fine weather you can scarcely miss it." The authority must be great to contradict this statement. Yours obediently, VERITAS. May 20th, 1844.

FISHGUARD.—At a meeting of the Kemes and Dewsland Agricultural Society, held at the Castle Hotel, Fishguard, on Thursday, the 16th inst., which was well attended, some iterations were made in the rules of the above society. was resolved that the next Annual Cattle Show shall be f a t^le Market Place, Fishguard, on Tuesday, the 13th August next. The committee feel perfectly convinced, owing to the exertions of the different competitors at their annual ploughing matches and cattle show, that this society effected as much good as any similar one in the princi- P.ty, in proportion to its funds and, therefore, do not j te'm ursinK '^s claims, and requesting the continuance ^further support of the gentlemen and landed proprietors m the above hundreds. TKNBY is now beginning to wear its most attractive np- its beauties of situation, and scenery height- by radiant skies and unruffled waters.
