The Hee of Commons sat at 12 o'clock, tor the purpose of proceeding with THE committee on the Poor Law Amend- ment Bill. FJATTFE, Mr. Christopher URGED the espeai?hey f establishing in each MION workhouse a ward for those Houseless poor who were journeying in quest of employment -or of their parishes. Sir J. Graham was favorable to this suggestion, though he considered it not to be strictly connected with the clause in 'discussion. At present it was noV unusual to commit these Wanderers to prison but he thought it much better to pro- vide them with a temporary asylum than to send them to £ aoi. Three or four of these asylums, in well-selected locali- 1ieø, would enable the police to bring such persons where tbey might hare shelter for a right, cr even reiuge tor three OR four ciays, AND due care in case of sickness, L&'uch an ,U- rangement would Fuitil the duties of Christianity and humanity, which he feared were neglected under the present system. 1ú. Cochrane expressed his delight at the speech of the ^FRT^Y of State. He doubted whether anything was saved by the present Poor Law the rates now showed a tendency to gradual increase. There was a division upon the 36th clause, which was ABSTAINED by a large majonty. "he next C anSe gay? risc to more objections in the cottroe of WblCh, Mr. H. Fitzroy observed how little the conduct of mem- bers was calculated for encouraging the ministers to introduce measures of improvement. He disliked the existing Poor JLAW, and w.)u)d support this bill as a mitigation upon it.

He charged the government with having been themseives the founders of Mr. O'Connell's importance, and finished with some warm remonstrances and admoni- tions to the government. Lord Ehot argued that this motion ought not to succeed, nmess it could be shown that there had been some frudulent tampering with the lists, whereov some unjust effect had been produced against the traversers.

The nohle LORD introduced his motion h. a speech, in which he iauded out the steps taken by the late Government, with a view to the suppression of the slave trade, intimating that the present Government, ill following out the same ouject, was beset by dilhculties oi" its own cR»«tion, though itil avenue to feme was sti-L open to them it, notwithstanding those difficulties, they could put an end TO A traffic denounced by every friend to the welfare of the human race. Sir li. Peel had not expected such a display of rhetoric from the noble Lord, as a consequence of the harmless notice he had placed upen the matter. The noble Lord appeared to have roused hiiuseti at that iate period of the session to make an attack on the government, by means of oneof those ingenious d-vices which saved him calling tor any test of tbe teelings ofthe iiou»e-. lie quite concurred, howvvvr, in all the repro- bation which the R.O' le Lord bad poured upon the slave trade ana two countries alone, Spain and the Brazils, were resp'msi le hr aU the horrors consequent upon the perpetua- tun) of the traffic, and without their cordlai CG-CP-RNTIOU it would be impossible to SUPPRESS it eff-H-tualiy. While he gave full credit to the noble Lord for his exertions when in urfice, he yet claimed for himself and colleagues quite as much earnestness to etlect the same object. The right hon. Baronet then replied to theto'.irious points urged by Lord Pa:merston, ASSURING the house-that the present Government was prt-j.ared to avail itscli of the nniy avenue to fame which the noble Lord said was open to them, by taking advantage of every opportunity to suppress the traffic in slaves. lie had no objection to the production of the papers, which he had alreai'.y given directions to have prepared. After some observations from feir C. 'Napier, Mr. BortTi- wick, Captain Pechtll, and Lord Palmerston, in reply, the motion was agreed to, with an additional return suggested by Sir R. 1'eei of the number of slaves liberated in Sierra Leone and other places, between the years 1813 and LF!44. Un the motion of Mr. II uine, an address to her Mpjestv was agreed to, for the appointment of a commission to inquire into the past and present state of the tidal harbours, ports, and creeks of the United Kingdom, for the purpose of ascertaining the state, of the navigation, &c., with a view to future improvement. Mr. E. Deniaon moved for an account in detail of the sums cf money received and expended by the Ecclesiastical Commissioners for England. Mr. Elphinstone wished to have the return enlarged so as include the actual amount paid to the bishops. Sir James Graham agreed to the motion, but opposed the amendment, which, after some discussion, was defeated by a majority of 5.5 to 27. 'L"he remaining business on the paper was then disposed of, and the house adjourned;

SOUTH WALES TURNPIKE TRUSTS BILL. (Continued from our lust.) Clause IJI) vests in the county hc"rd the right of appointing officers to the several district boards. Clause 87 defnps th" powers and duties of district boards. These consist in providing for the maintenance, repair, and draining of the several main andr branch reads within the district. They are A'so n-q'.iired to'keep an account of their expenditure, which they have to transmit through their clerk from time to time to the county board. CLAUSE S3 enacts that it snail be lawful for the County Roads' Board of ench county to place at the disposal of riu several district boards a sufficient siii-r, OUT of the County Tol; Fund, together with a proper quantity cf materials and other necessaries for carrying on their repairs. CLAUSES and iJO provide for the first meeting of the dis- trict board, constituting three members a quorum. Clause 91 empowers each district board to elect two of its members to serve on the county T oard. Clauses 92—93 prohibit members of county and district boards from being interested in contracts. Members of either board however MOV act as justices in any matter relating to the execution of the Act. Clauses 94 and fJ5 appropriate the tolls collected upon the main turnpike and branch roads. The former are to be con- solidated in e&ch county, oni to be called the County Roads1 Fund, to be chargeable in the first instance with the annuity J due to the Public Works Loan Cumntit-sioners and after j that deduction has L>eeii made they are to go to the repairs and maintenance of the roads. TH» TOLLS UPON the branch ¡ roads are io be paid to the district BOA;DA, to LS. applied LLR the purposes before explained in the Act. I C'auses 96 and S7 direct that if the County Roads' Fund prove insufficient for the purposes required, the county board shall certify the amount ^-QUIRED t.; THE QU::R">R SESSIONS and the justices at quarter sessions are to make a rate to supply the amount required. Clauses £ 8—301 authorise the justices to assess and levy a road rate in places not contributing to the county rate, and give the right to inspect the rate to the county treasurer, or ANY one having his order. Clause 102 confers upon the occupier of any lands under freehold, or for a term not exceeding thirty years, the right to deduct the amount cfruad rate he has paid from the rent due to his landlord. Clause 103 directs the county treasurer to pay over any road rate to the treasurer of the County Roads' Board. Clauses 104—1G6 confer upon the County Roads' Board the right to make orders on parishes to carry materials for the repair of their turnpike roads. The surveyor of high- I ways is directed to deduct from the highway rate for the work done in carrying these materials and ip case of any dispute between the i-urveyor and the inhabitants, the matter is to be referred to two or more justices. Clauses 107—112 contain some special provisions. Llan- di'o Rhrnws bridge, Towy suspension bridge, and Wreh Tree bridge, are to become county bridges. Lloughcr bridge is to be maintained as a county bridge between the counties of Glamorgan and Carmarthen jointly..A part of the debt of the Rumney bridge trust is to be borne by the Newport turnpike trust, and Rumney 1 ridge is to be maintained as A couiity,bridge between the counties of Glamorgan and Mon- mouth jointly. This act is not to apply to Hay bridge, and BoughrOod bridge. The road in Bayader and Llangerrig trust is to he annexed to the adjoiTiir.g district of roads in the county of Montgomery but the trustees of a local act passed in the 4 and 5 YY illiain 4th, relating to the roads of this county are not to be allowed to erect A toll bar across or at J the side of this road. Clausfe 113 extends the fines and penalties* imposed by the General Turnpike Acts to the several c)au;.ps and provisions contained in this Act.

A MOVKAHLI: METHODIST CHAPEL.—The Wesleyans of this circuit (says a correspondent at Bingham, Notts), have erected an elegant moveable wood chapel upon wheels, capa le of seating about 120 persons, at a cost of about £ 6'0, for the accommodation of small villages in the remote part of their circuit, where no site can be procured, owing to the land being the property of noblemen or other large or adverse proprietors. It was opened for Divine worship, on Monday, the hit instant, by Mr. Jobu Shelton, of Nottingham, who preached two sermons upon the occasion. 011 Sunday, Mr. Thomas Harwsod, Wesley an town missionary, of Not- tingham, preached two sermons in the above chapel, and collections to the amount of jC5 were obtained, which, toge- ther with preceding donations, amounted to the handsome sum of £ 5o.— li'esleyan C/irorncle.

■ *>» r, U— SPAix.—The Madrid Gaze/Ire of the 5th con'nins three financial decrees: the first 'sanctioning the revUien of the tobacco contract, the ss< ond approving of the arrangement made by Senor Mon with the Bunk San Fernando for a monthly advance of sixty millions of reals, and a third pres- cribing- the mode of liquidating the different pending con- tracts. The parties interested in the tobacco contract are to be repaid their advances and expenses, with interest at the rate of six rter c^nt., and two per cent, commission on the amount of tne tobacco sold by them whilst in possession of the monopoly. A portion of the tobacco revenues to be specially assigned for th" payment of their claims. The arrangement with the Bunk S<m Fernando is oni," from month to month, Itit there was little doubt of its being made permanent, as no measure had yet been adopted for many years that would so fully tend to ameliorate the ad- ministration of the revenue. It was expected that in the decree of the dissolution of the Cortes and convocation of others, ministers would explain their policy and the line they proposed following. Some allusions would be made to national property of such a nature to calm anxiety which h,te reports might have created among purchasers.

The party in the boat consisted of Mrs. Bennett, two of her daughters, one about, tun and the other about eight years of age Mr. Rolling, a young gentle- man sixteen years ot age, and the two men who were in charge of the boat. The beat was under sail, and tacking about a mile ort the land, when she was observed to upset, there being rather a brisk breeze of wind blowing at the time. On observing the accident several boats were immedi- ately launched from the beech, but before they could get to the sufferers, a fishing smack that was about half a mile to windward bore down and sent her boat to the spot. The fishermen fortunately picked up Mrs Bennett, and the two men who were in charge of the boat, but Mr Rolling and the two young ladies had disanpeared. The boatmen saved tlieni- selves by swimming, and it is supposed that Mrs. Bennett's clothes kept her above water. Mrs. Bennett was brought on shore almost lifeless, hit, on llcing taken t > Mn Marsh's intti-house, she was plaeM in a warm bath, and by the ap- plication of the means recommended by the Humane Society, she was fortunately recovered. None of the bodies have been found. DEATH or THE EARL OF KINTOUE.—We regret to an- nounce the death of this nnb'eman, which took place on Thursday night last, at his lordship's seat.

THE WEATHER.—On Saturday night and during the greater rart of Sunday, the metropo-is was visited hya heavy «a'e, which prevented the departure of several vessel ready ibr sen. The gale having, however, moderated late on Sui day ni^Jit, the weather-bound vessels proceeded to sea at high water yesterday morning. The shipping on the river did n i* .;p.y ,d"niai'->. The cale was experienced a'ort; ti.c coast, ai.u several •uixaiitk-s v :r~es'.

It*, was represented to him that the deceased had been 1 aptise^jjt that church; still he declared that no dissenter should mingle with church people. The friends of the deceased, however, got a trave dug in the spot pointed out by the young woman, and the clergyman got another grave dug at the extremity of the churchyard. The corpse wag hrought to the ground, and Mr. Allies became maniacal in his opposition to the internwnt of it in the selected spot but, being ouptsed by nearly all the inhabitants, lie at last permitted them to do what they liked with it." He, however, refused to officiate, and when the body had been interred, and a hymn sung over the graw by the friends of the deceased, he put on his surplice, went to the grave which he had caused to he dug, and, with his footman acting as clerk, read the burial service over the tenantless grave Aft°r an investigation of three days into the cause of the explosion of the steam boiler at Mr. Brooks's mill, at Bohon, the foi1owil;g are unanimously of opinion that the death of James Swift, Bridget Hart, and James M'Donald, was caused 1>y an explosion cof the steam boiler at l Mr. Brooks's mill. That the said boiler exploded from the reSi\J1re of steam being too great: and that George Brans- come has caused the explosion. We are also of opinion that due care has not been used in the general superintendence of the steam engines and boilers. Georee Branscome was thereupon committed to take his trial for Manslaughter."

TO CORRESPONDENTS. We have, ns usual, through the kindness of different corres- pondents, received two accounts of the same transaction. The reason in most cases why some articles are preferred to others, is that the first received are put in type.

It affords us much pleasure to be able to redeem the promise which we made our subscribers a short tim.. since, that it was our intention, owing to the rapidly increasing circulation of our paper, to add considerably to its size. Having completed our arrangements, we now, without fear of contradiction from any quarter, state that, the PEM- BROKESHIRE HERALD is Id once the lir<je>t 1/1/f/ cheaj>es( paper in the;Prii,cipal ty and we trust that the public will not think us arrogant in believing that we have contri- buted our mite towards their information and amuse- ment. Owing to the great enlargement in the size of our paper, it will be necessary that a corresponding sti- rnulus should take place in the increase of our matter- To such a course we pledge ourselves, and though we cannot boast of being gifted with as many eyes as Argus, i or as many hands as Briareus, yet nothing worthy of notice shall escape our glance. It shall always be our duty to avoid hurting the feelings of any person, or class of persons, by inserting offensive reports of any local proceedings. Yet, while we make this assertion, let us be thoroughly under- stood, in holding in abhorrence a cringing servifity, in the remotest possible manner. The system of politics, which we commenced with, we still adhere to, Rnd which enahles us to. steer clear of violent party feeling, which, if carried to excess, invariably warps the understanding. While taking a mode- rate view of the political horizon, our grey goose-quill is ready to give its mede of praise to those who have earned it, be their opinions those of WMg erTftry: While ourdfsappro- bation, should it be called for, shall never be withheld, when our d'ttyto the public requires it. As a word of advice to ourselves, in our editorial capacity, nothing perhaps will be mcre beneficial than the request of the Moor of Venice :— "Nothing extenuate, nor set down aught in malice."

THE "HERALD" AND ITS CORRESPONDENTS.—Among the many difficulties that encompass the conductors of a provincial newspaper, not the least arduous is that of selecting from the numerous articles, reports, contributions, &c., with which their office is daily inundated, these which, for their fidelity and disinterestedness, are likely to be most favorably received by their sul scribers, and of rejecting those that have no such claims to public estimation. It very frequently happens however, that they have no choice left them. Articles are sent in on the same subject, which are all equally reprehen- sible, or perhaps one only is received, which, though in some rebpccts objectionable, most be sorted for lack of better, for the public will have news—whatever form it n^>y assume- [f indeed, all tastes were similar, if that rut tie imh'fjestuqzH moles, the public could be moulded into an intelligible and tangible shape, the task of catering for its amusement, its instructien and improvement, would be comparatively easy hut so numerous are the phases ofhnman character, so diver- .ifiec1 tbeir \st(,8, and in many ijjstances 50 utterly at variance 011e with tbc other, that to endeavour to 1'1eal\e everybody \0 pteace nobody.

It may then be urged, why not appoint proper correspondents in every town and place where the newspaper is circulated, or where interesting news may be looked for wh i.se ini.obr:ty cav be relied on. We answer, such has been and will be our constant aim but then are the communi- cations of such accredited correspondents to be made use cf to the entire exclusion of all ether contributions? We opine not. Indeed, we conceive that the essence of newspaper literature, is its freedom from exclusiveness. No doubt restticuons ::re necessary, but these carried too far are almost, if not equally, as bad as extreme licentiousness. We wish to be distinctly understood, that v. e do not identify our views with those of our correspondents; nor are we to be supposed to be so intimately acquainted with the feelings and prejudices of individuals, or of pub- lic bodies and societies, as at all times to steer clear of unmerited odium. If parties feel themselves aggrieved by any remarks made in our columns, they have an opportunity of vindicating their conduct, and correcting any misrepresen- tation for the Herald is essentially an impartial paper. High and low, rich and poor, are equaUy at liberty to make their grievances known through the medium of its circulation. If we at any time are inadvertently led to give offence by unjust remarks, or are imposed upon by unfounded reports, we arc ever ready to make reparation fcr our error as soon as it is pointed out. We would add, moreover, that the most effectual way of preventing any unpleasantness in the minds of our readers, which some of them may be occasionally exposed to, is this: let those parties who are the most interested in any occurrence, and who are best qualified from their knowledge of the subject to give it publicity,—let them, we say, be our correspondents. Surely no person or persons should be surprised it, after allowing, by their own negligence, an uninterested lookcr-on, or fer ought we or thev know, an enemy, to depict a scene in which they are the principal actors if after this their solemnities are made to appear ridiculous We trust our remarks will be taken I your readers in good part. We can assure them now, on the enlargement of our paper, being as it were a new era in our public existence, of our strict adherence to the principles with which we launched our bark on the sea of public opinion, and that nothing shall deter lis, as far as our humble abilities extend, from pursuing a line of condnct which lias already afforded such unequivocal success.

—• Few events have caused greater sensation through Mei- lie England" (the land of liberty), than its having been maGe known that the PO>ót-office was not such a.safe means of transmission as was generally thought; and that Sir James Graham, or his functionaries, were in the habit of occasionally i:i.;u'gii)g themselves with the contents of any L,tters th:tt might strike their fancies. The feelings of Englishmen do not accord with this system it might pass on the Continent. During the dynasty of Napoleon, it was carried to an extreme length, and the contents ofletters were warded in any direc- tion to suit the tyrant's will. The press of England is almost unanimous, in loudly crying against this in.ringement of private right. If the Home Secretary is innocent of this flagrant charge, why not have courted public inquiry? Was the daylight too strong for him, that a secret committee must he packed. Punch (the Charivari -of London) revels at the expense of the Right Hon. Bart. In his examination before the secret committee, and his explanations of the different letters opened, that which struck 11s most forcibly was the -tie from Geu -ral Tosn Thumb to his i rither in Yankee land. The General's opinion is rather shaken as to the superiority of his countrymen over the Britishers, while he confesses President Tyler "arn't no rowdy" in comparison of Queen Vic. This Sir James states is downright treason, as attack'ng the character of the president of a country, with whom we are at perfect peace. In sober sadness our own opinion is formed and so averse are we to the maxim of res' ting to evil that good may come of it, that after looking at both sides of the question, we ere, however unwillingly, compelled to record our verdict against the Home Secretary.

♦— HAVERFORDWEST LUNATIC ASYLUM. In consequence of a report made to the Lord Chancellor by the Metropolitan Commissioners in Lunacy, in which, amongst other asylums, that situated in the town of Haver- fordwest has been the subject of very unfavourable remarks, we have thought it right in justice to all parties concerned, to publish the following documents. The first refers to the actual state of the asylum at the last visit of the commissioners, and is an exact copy of the obser- vations entered by them in the book kept at the asylum, and which seem rather inconsistent with their statement of its condition at that time, as contained in their report of their second visit, page 52. The second is a memorial addressed to the Secretary of State for the Heme Department, by the magistrates in quar- ter sessions for Pembrokeshire, 1842, which contains an account of the efforts made by them, to improve the condition of pauper lunatics, by combining with other counties of South Wales, to provide for tbeir support. It should be observed, that after the failure of these efforts, considerable alterations and improvements were tnadein the asylum, to render it as comfortable as its situation and circumstances would permit,- and those persons who recommended the j .outlay, think that the observations of .the Commissioners, made on the spot, warrant them in believing that it was not so fruitless a one, as the terms in which it is mentioned in their subsequent report, might lead the readers of it to suppose. HAVERFORDWEST LUNATIC ASYLUM, SEPT. 8, 1843. The undersigned Metropolitan Commissioners in Lunacy have this day visited this asylum. They are glad to find that considerable improvements have been made, both in the management and comfort of the establishment, since the last visit of the commissioners. The beds are clean and fairly supplied with bedding, and the rooms sweet and well venti- lated. Two new sitting rooms of considerable dimensions (which are much wanted), with two rooms of corresponding size, to be used as dormitories over them, are in progress. They found no person under mechanical restraint, and under- stand it is rarely or never employed, and the patients appear to be kindly treated by the present governor. It is to be regretted that no means of regular employment cither for males or females are provided they trust this defect will be remedied. It appears that prayers are read every Sunday to such of the patients as are capable of attending, with advan- tage. The commissioners examined at considerable length Mary Davies, Robert Butland, John Smith, and Mary Phillips. They recommended the cases of Mary Phillips and Robert Butland to the favourable consideration of the visiting magistrates and their respective parish officers, as proper to be soon liberated upon trial. The other two cases, ui th of which appear to be much improved, are deserving of particular attention. J. N. MYLNE, II. H. SouTHEY." EPIPHANY QUARTER SESSIONS, 1842. The magistrates for the county of Pembroke, in their Court of Quarter Sessions assembled, respectively submit the fol- lowing memorial for the consideration of her Majesty's principal Secretary of State for the Home Department. 1 he pauper lunatics belonging to the county of Pembroke, are confined in a building within the town of Haverford west, which was formerly used as a gaol for the prisoners of the said town; but under the provisions of ail Act of Parliament, passed in 182*2, the town prisoners are committed to the county gao', and the town gaol appropriated to the reception of the pauper lunatics, of the county of Pembroke, and of the town and county of Haverfordwest. The control of the Innatic assylum is vested in the magistrates for the town of Haverfordwest, but the magistrates for the county of Pem- broke are empowered to visit it: In the month of October, 1338, the asylum was visited by the Earl of Cawdor and other county magistrates, and in consftptence of the Htpcrl'atLlBtate'of accommodation for its inmates, which in their opinion it presented, a representation 111 the su'ject was made by the Earl of Cawdor to the Secretary of State for the Home Department, who imme- diately directed Sir Alexander Morrison, M.D., to inspect ind enquire into tbe state of the asylum, and to report the result of such inspection, to her Majesty's Secretary of State for the Home Department. Sir Alexander Morrison accord- ingly visited the asylum on the 9th of November following, and without imputing any blame to the parties immediately connected with its administration, reported that "the asylum I was unfit for its purpose, and that the erection of another building more appropriate was imperatively called for." At the first ensuing, court of quarter sessions, the suf jec* of the lunatic asylum "was discussed, and a committee of magistrates appointed to give to the consideration cf the matter, that specific attention which its importance demanded. The committee felt that, before finally recommending a mea- sure likely to involve the ratc-pnyers in so heavy an expen" diture as that of building a new lunat'c asylum, they were bound to ascertain from the evidence-t general statistics on the su1j?' t, whether it was probable that the anuuJ r.uir.Lr.r of patients supplied by Pembrokeshire alone, would at a fair weekly rate of payment, furnish such a sum as would main- tain the asylum when completed in an efficient state, as otherwise a very M-fiona expenditure might 1.0 incurred without any material improvement in the condition of the patients. It appeared to tbem after cftrcfu1, examination of 11\11 tbe facts tbey were able to collect, that. the proportion of eaJM>" Ukr'y t-~< 'K- .ouNÜif'<1 hy Pembrokeshire (tbp. papulation being between 80,000 and 30,0^0, and tbe ascertained num- ber of lunatics 40), would not supply null a fund; un,der these circumstances, the only course which in their judgment it seemed advisable to pursue, was to endeavour tit form an union, under the provisions of the Act 9, Geo. jV, c. 40, 'I between the county o^ Pembroke and other counties of Soutk(Wales, for il.be purp.Vse of mainlining n joint centra 4^C ,T-N I • The committee put themselves in communication with the j chairmen of quarter sessions, and other magistrates of the different counties in South Wales, but they received no encouragement to hope for any immediate co-operation from any excepting those of Cardigan and Carmarthen, where TLI £ RE SEEDED to be a general feeling of willingness to combine V ith the county of Pembroke. With a view to call general attention to the subject, a public meeting was appointed, and took place at Carmarthen, on the 7th of November, 133.9, at which the Earl of Cawdor presided, and several magistrates from the three counties attended. Here a series of resolutions was unanimously agreed to. declaratory of the expediency of forming an union of counties for the aforesaid object, and these resolutions were published in the principal local journals circulated in South Wales. As the union contemplated could only be formed under the provisions of the Act 9th, Geo. 4, c. 40., in conformity with the said act, notice was given at the courts of quarter sessions for the three counties of Carmarthen, Cardigan, and Pem- broke, of the appointment of committees at the subsequent sessions for the purpose of settling the terms of union between tbe counties. The committees were accordingly appointed for the three counties. In Pembrokeshire and Carmarthen- shire no objection was raised at the time of their appointment; but in Cardiganshire some discussion took place, and some of the magistrates, whilst not opposing the nomination of the committee, still protested against their assent to this prelimi- nary beins; considered as binding them to approve of the union recommended. After two meetings of the members of the three committees for the purpose of preparing a report, and discussing different details of the union, a general meeting of the three committees was fixed for the 14th of October, 1840, to be held at Car- marthen, for tl.e purpose of finally agreeing on the terms of union. After considerable difficulty in securing the atten- dance of the prescribed number (for the Act 9th, Geo. 4, c. 40, limits the number of each committee to five, and requires the attendance of three from each), the meeting took place at Carmarthen on the 14th of October, 1840, the Earl of Caw- dor in the chair. Here the terms of the union were settled, the proportions of cach county calculated in pursuance of the act, and the vicinity of the town of Canrarthen named as the most advan- rpg 'ous site for the erection of the proposed building. The ) nsiness of the conurittees was thus brought to a conel jsion and all that remained was to submit the agreement made by them on behalf of their respective counties to the magis- trates assembled in quarter sessions. As the ensuing quarter sessions succeeded by so brief an interval of time to the meeting at Carmarthen, it was pro- posed that the final consideration of the agreement by the magistrates of the respective counties should be deferred to the subsequent sessions to be he'd in January, 1841. In the counties of Carmarthen and Pembroke, no objection was made to this proposal, but in Cardiganshire, the majority of the justices assembled held that they were bound to take the agreement into consideration at the sessions immediately ensuing its being made, or at some adjournment thereof, and that tii-y were precluded from any adjournment of the con- sideration of the question to another sessions. As the rnajn- rityof the justices assembled were decidedly opposed to the proposed union, it was deemed useless by the supporters of it to move an adjournment of the sessions for the consideration of the agreement. So far, therefore, as the county ofCardif *nri concerned, the measure was abandoned, and the j t -«M* of union AGREED to by ;i: r,p, the supposition of three counties uniting, null and void. The opinion of counsel was subsequently taken 1st. as to whether the magistrates were precluded from adjourning their final decision of the agreement submitted to them ana 2ud!y, whether any means could be suggested of renewing the nego- ciation between the three counties, without commencing the proceeding entirely de novo. The opinion of counsel in answer to the 1st question was, that the magistrates were not precluded from adjournment of the question, and to the 2nd I that proceedings must be entirely recommenced. As the magistrates of Pembrokeshire were unwilling to abandon the project ot forming an union for so beneficial a purpose without a fresh effort, it was resolved to propose the re-appointment of the committees to recommence proceedings fur negociating the union but, with a vicw not to engage the magistrates forming the committees in a fruitless discussion about the details of the union, the chairman of the quarter sessions in Cardiganshiro, was requested to impress on the minds of the magistrates attending, that the fairest course for them to pursue, would be to assent to, or dissent from the appoint- ment of the committee for their county, according as they felt disposed to sanction or reject the general measure. Under these circumstances the opinion of the magistrates was taken en the question of giving notice of THE^PPOINTMENT of a committee, and the motion was negatived The magistrates of Pembrokeshire have deemed it right to draw up this memorial of their proceeding-, N^T .merely to justify themselves frrm any imputation of indifference on a matter of such importance as the treatment cf rnnper lunatics, but also in 'the hope that the record of the difficulties they have experienced may be of seme use in the event of any new legislation en the sulject. They fed themselves at present in considerable embarrassment hew to act. The existing lunatic assylura is situated within the town of Haverfordwest in a very inconvenient position, both as regards the jemns crrfned there, as well ns the inhabitants of the town, many of whom have often complained of it as a nuisance. Some improvement might unquestionably be made in it, but no amount of expenditure could render it, what medical experience would pronounce adequate to its objeetS of restoration to reason, as well as a mere place of confine- ment is sought for besides, the county magistrates, have not the power of ordering ary alteration in it, as by the Act of Parliament before referred to, the town of Haverfordwest is liable to the repairs. If a new asylum be constructed else. where, it is very doubtful if the limited num1 er of patients supplied from Pembrokeshire alone, would at any reasonable rate of payment for their support, by their respective parishes, provide such a fund as would maintain the assylum in an efficient state. Under these circumstances, a sense of what they conceive, due to the rate payers of the county, makes the magistrates hesitate before they recommend an expenditure of public funds which would probab'y be found inefficient. The magistrates having made every effort which the existing laws on the subject permit, to obtain that amount of co-operation, which in their opinion is necessary to secure any permanent improvement in the condition of the pauper lunatics within the limits of their jurisdiction, and having failed of success in all their attempts, without any reason to expect a more favorable result in the event of their renewal, solicit the attention of her Majesty's government to the case of this unfortunate class of persons, when belonging to counties of limited resources and population, in the hope that some N[PANS may be devised for improving their treatment more effectual than those possessed by the local authorities.

We have the painful task of announcing the death of an officer of Royal Marines, who, notwithstanding a servitude of forty years, had not reached the head of the Captain's list, and who, from a constitution worn out in the service of his country, has been incapable of active duty for more than twelve months. This is an additional instance of the neg- lected and inefficient state of the corps, and it becomes daiiy more imperative on the executive to repair the injury which is not only inflicted on this particular arm of the service, but in- jurious to the country.

The member for the borough, Sir R. B. P. Philipps, occupied the chair. The meeting was addressed by clergymen and gentle- men from the neighi ourhood. The principal speaker was the Rev. Mr. Brown, who dwelt on the success and prospects of the parent society with much pleasure to the audience. A collection was made at the clone of the meeting. Two sermons were preached on the preceding Sunday, in aid of the above society, at St. Thomas at St. Martin's—the former in the morning, and the latter in the evening—by the Rev. Mr. Drown, who attended as n deputation from ihe Parent Society.

The com- plainant, who has been a member upwards of twenty years, had recently broke his arm and injured his hack, and disabled himself from folk-wing his occupation, by which he obtained I a livelihood, and had applied to the institution for the allow- ance usualty given on such occasions, but was refused, on the ground that the accident happened through misconduct, and wns therefore not entitled to any allowance from th -ir funds. The magistrates ordered payment, however, of X2 Bs. to the said complainant, and 10s. costs.- The other matters before their worships consisted of signing a few removals of paupers.

NEWPORT, I*K.UBROKKSHIKE.—<!» the night of Monday, the 15t;1 instant, the premises of Mr. Maurice Thomas, clothier and dyer, situate about one mile and a half from Newport, were entered hy some person or persons, and property to the amount of near thirty pounds stolen there- from; cOllsistÏ111; of twenty-one scarlet whittles, fourteen and a half yards of blanketting, fourteen yards of blue cloth. i from twelve to fourteen yards of flannel for petticoats, one I large lamb's wool plaid shawl, and various other articles of home-manufactured flannels, Sec, The burglars had dropt several pieces of cloth and lfannels in a field c'ose to the F-hop, having IN the hurry to escape left it behind them. They effected nil entrance at the back of the premises by removing one of the windows, which they they had taken oil altogether and laid against the waU outside without any injury. Informations were .given to the different police stations of the robbery, and the police constables stationed at Newport having scoured the country, where any suspicions could have fallen, but to no effect up to Wednesday, the 17th inst. They went to the country yesterday to make further search, and it is to be hoped the thieves will be taken and brought to justice. The whole of the property stalon be- longed to different persons in the country, and v;Mh was in a finished state, ready to 1 e forwarded to the different owners, having only been packed ready on the Monday from which it is presumed the thieves "must have KNOW^ of the circumstance. v T ENBY. — Tuesday the 16th inst. being the usual day for the anniversary of the St. Bran's Lodge of True Ivorites, this bright and lovely watering place (where so many of the g'U and fash ion a' LE resort TI, for the purpose of inhaling the hswect sulubrious breeze that wafts itself over the troubled ocenn and clears the atmosphere in which we breathe), was on the tip-toe of expectation, and all seemed anxious to wit- ness the procession of this Welsh and phi'anthrepic institu- tion. At an early hour the brethren began to in great numbers, several from the neigh 1 curing lodges. The necessary preparations being made, the lodge was opened, an j t'E president of the DI'.ngleddy district lodge had the plea- sure of initiating several candidates into the mysteries 0.' True Ivoritism. At eleven o'clock the brethren formed into procession, they paraded the front street and proceeded to the Independent Congregational Chapel, where there was an eloquent address delivered by the Rev. Mr. Roberts from I the I Cor. 13 chap. 13 verse. After divine service they again formed into procession and perambulated the principal streets, surrounded by hundreds of spectators, who appeared highly gratified with their proceedings they then returned to the lodge-room, where one hundred and twenty sat down to a splendid dinner, served up in the usual good style of the worthy host nnd hostess, Mr. and" Mrs. Adams, ofthe Butch- er's Arms. The chair was taken by' Wilbraham Falconer, Esq., M. D., and the vice-chair by John Phelps, Esq. After dinner the usual loyal and patriotic toasts were drank several most alee and eloquent speeches were delivered in Welsh and English, some proving the utility and necessity of the gentle- men of the principality coming forward to support this and kindred institutions, and if they were one and all combined, pauperism and beggary would be a novelty, and union work- houses might be converted into national schools, for the training of the young and rising generation. During the whole ofthe proceedings there appeared to be great harmony of feeling and brotherly love existing. The afternoon and evening were spent in the most convivial manner, and the company broke up at an early hour, expressing themselves highly gratified by the proceedings of the day, also, feeling determined to unite their efforts in carrying out the benevo- lent and philanthropic principles of the glorious institution of True Ivorites. I TENBY.—DINNER TO JOHN REBS, ESQ.—On Thursday, the 12th inst., John Ilees, Etq., chairman of the committee for reducing the fares of the steam-packets paying between Tenby and Bristol, was invited by the committee to a dinner at the White Lien Hotel. About forty gentlemen, com- prising the members of the committee and other friend" o! MR. Rees were present on the occasion. The chair was ably filled by Wi'braham Falconer, Esq., M. D. the vice chair by Mr. William Harries. After the usual loyal and patriotic toasts, the chairman proposed the health of John uecs, Esq., and in doinc so, dwelt upon the energy, impar- tially, AI'L decision which that ger.th iue-' shown in the clis;J;• C OF hi-- '.I- A- chairman th- t ieeettee on the pubiic advantages derivable from his residence in this place and incidentally referred to the new buildings, Lexden Terrace, lately erected by Mr. Rees on the South Cliff. The toast was received with reiterated cheers. Mr. John Rees acknowledged the compliment in a brief, but appropriate and expressive manner. Several toasts of a con- vivial native followed, and the evening was enlivened by the strains of vocal harmony, vo'untecrcd by Messrs. William Harries, Bollaud, Ilenton. J. Owen, J. Smith, Capt.

The speech of the latter gentleman was highly interesting and made a deep impression on all present; CAUTION.—-It is a matter of surprise, where serious acci- dents are daily oecuring, that the law of self-preservaticn does not teach men to use a necessary eautio!1. On Men- day last an accident occurred, which though not attended with loss ol lite, was accompanied with serious consequences. A man, named John Alien, descended one of the pits at Johnstone Colliery, when an unguarded light, lie carried in his hand, coming in contact-with the fire-damp, £ N explosion took place, and the poor man was seriously burnt and injured. This ought to prove a warning to others.
