He maue a step towards the girl, to prove her r features better. E 1 he reader knows already that we have Agatha before us. K But inieed, had she not worn Dame Birkenhoffer's medal, |t it would have puzzled not only Martin, but ourselves, to re- r cognise bis old f Inytellow and our heroine. The pale child p eight years w.i< eynnnded into a m.-nden of sixteen, who | wolfed not unlike a Madonna of one of the old masters. Eyes from which beamed a tender piety, of a Catholic stamp* a 7 cheek on which glowed the faint flush we associate with £ cloistered devotion, a mass of luxuriant raven hair-what ? more can I say ? The gentle Agatha was, strictly speaking, alreadv half lured but as Stoffel enjoyed that degree of influence in his jieighbourhood which was due to a man of so much worth, (read. jf rhe reader will, to a man worth so much money,) it was easy for him to carry Tiis point, and to secure any youth or maiden he might set his fancy on, even had the bar- gain which was to consign thi chattels in qnestion to another customer been a stage nearer to its completion. Agatha was therefore hired again for eight months, Vv'c will not describe the joy of the yonng Birkenhotfer, for, to sn- the truth, it ^ras somewhat rustical in its character: we will oniv remark that that of the young girl was not less. She turned, poor soul, now r«j, now rw,]P, and ber»""» re<* and mcr" con- •ur? :d:.tT )' There is no readier way to make two lovers than to take tWIJ play-fellows of "connoting ««• keep them assunder for eiBht or ten years, and then bring them into circumstances of propinquity again. The Hoffiauer had no intention of uiaking out of his first-born and the Vorarlberg maid a pair o, lowers cut as we often do not accomplish what we do intend, so on this StoflTel BirkenhofFer did accomplish what he did not intend. Martin and Agatha fell mutually in Jove. A loTe-afiair between equals is a tedious piece of business, taking some weeks or even months before it comes to maturity. First you Bee each other then you like each other then you 1 f 7~°r at least you, masculine reader, tell our fair reader ot the more interesting gendeT, that you like her then vou aT"* ^f" PwW", again and thenj 'vou make prettily turned alltisions to a certain holy state then the ladv understands these allusions, and Washes, or does not Hush, as the case may be then you lwnture on a declaration, which is of course met, the first time, with a degree of dis- tonraKcment which induces you to make a second this time the discouragement is so much more decided that you have no resource but to make it a third, when it is accepted, reci- procated, and when you get lettre to ask papa and then yon do asK papa, and papa asks you, for lie too has his ques- ion s tion, or auestions to pop then supposing papa's interrogato- ries satisfactorily nnswcred, your addresses receive the pa- rental sanction then follows a stage or two more, you and she are engaged ones, and so on. until the happy day can be put off no logger, and then you marrv. This is tiresome work Martin took a shorter cut to his end. He said "Thou" to her, she said Thou" to him: that was a matter of course, for in the Oberland one-Mvs You" only to one s elders. Of declarations of love, of proposals of! marriage, there was not a word, but the two kissed each « er whenever they had« mind, that is, whonever they saw themselves alone. They did not talk about their love, for ey did not think about it, but they thought a good deal about eaeh other, and therefore they talked a good deal ut each other, to each other,—for there was a certain methmg that made them shy about propounding their favourite topic to others. "OTer87 happily for themselves, did not employ their honghts much on the future, and thus were saved many an anxious reflection, many a care which the reader, no doubt, a ready lee is on their account..

The young people might, however, we loved on in great peace, but for one person. Fate generally provides a person to trouble the flow of a true love, c" Martin and bis and^our Agatha were not so insigni- an_ ^ate should have omitted this provision in their case., they algo had their weird to dree, wid a weird spirit, or mmlster of destiny, to direct it. ? ^ster of destiny in this case was the daughter of a ti J' bounng Hofbauer. When destiny will intromit with the concerns of mere Hofbauers and their sons, destiny ri s content herself with ministers of a vulgar stamp, tn „ n,^S8es are not to he expected to officiate as weird spirits 'c 1 artln of the Piirkenhof.

STEAM-BOAT EXPLOSION AT BLACKWALL.
STEAM-BOAT EXPLOSION AT BLACKWALL. An accident, in its effects fatal tn seven persons, and most serious to five others, and in its dptails shocking in the ex- treme, occurred off Bhtckwai) !ast Tuesday, in consequence of a steam explosion on board a new iron steam-boat, named the Gipsey Queen, built by the firm of Samtida and Co. (the senior of which is the chief victim), for the Waterford Na- vigation Companr. The Gipsey Queen is about 600 tons burden, and has paddle-wheel engines equal to 300 horse power. Iler en- gines are of a peculiar character, the invention of Messrs. Samuda. They are what may be termed "bell crancked" en- gines, and, as we are informed, instead of the ordinary beam, the beam of the Gipsy Queen is divided in the centre, each half being socketed in the other, with connecting rods at each end working at an angle, instead .of perpendicularly there beine; two bearings in the. mitre instead .'of one. Ano- ther peculiarity in these engines is that thev Wife placed fore and aft—one bof; -e the other, not sine b-y side, as is usually done. The boilers, which are tubular, were con- structed to bear 401bs. pressure -on the pquare inch, but du- ring the trial thev had not been workiug to more than half that pressure. As soon, however, as the vessel had arrived at Black wall, it was determined to 'try the boilers at a pres- sure of 25Ibs., ftnd it is said the safety valve was set accord- ingly, not the least danger being apprehended. Mr. Sa- muda, with the engineer, the foreman of his factory, and a number of fitters and others, were present in the engine-room to see the operation, when, about ten minutes after five o'clock, the unfortunate catastrophe took place. A slight explosion was heard by the persons assembled on the Blackwall Pier, and on all eyes being turned in the direction of the Gipsy Queen, the hissing of steam was heard, and the vapour was'seen issuing from all parts of the engine. As soon r.s boats could be obtained they put off to the steamer, and the result of the explosion was quickly known by the return to the pier of two boats, with five men in them dreadfully scalded and disfigured, and from them the intelligence was gathered that they had escaped up the ladder at the time of the explosion, and had left several of their companions in the engine-room, amongst them Mr. I Samuda, sen. On board the Gipsy Queen it was impossible, from the escape of steam, to descend to the en<ro»-ro«m. m,1 Jf ■ 1 ;< Sere cut up in order to allow the steam to disperse more rapidly, and thus half an hour elapsed before the fate of those in the engine-room was ascertained. When that place was sum- ciently free from steam for the persons on deck to descend into it, it disclosed the bodies ojLseven men in the most ghastly condition. They were nuiw dead, and lay in various positions. The unfortunate sufferers were— Mr. Jacob Samuda, Mr. Dodds, engineer of the vessel, Mr. ScholefieW, an engineer, James Slanders, fitter, Thomas Nugent, apprentice, John Newman, stoker, and another :n-n. whose name we coufd not ascertain. On examination, it would appear that the accident was caused bv the bursting of the steam from the main pipe at A Joint. The connection of the main steam-pipe with the foremost engine is effected by a stuffing-box," which ren- ders the joint, where there is any vibration, more secure. The pipe at this stuffing-box, which in its right place led downward to the floor of the engine-loom, is now turned up towards the deck- The steam in its course, it is evident, pust have found vent here, and, without any warning, must V"? bursting out have dealt the disastrous consequences which the floor of the engine-room presented. Mr. Samuda, with those who have perished, most have ) been standing near the stuffing-box at the time. Se»e**l had left the engine-room just before, for the deck, and the five who are so seriously injured were going up the ladder. The whole force of the explosion was therefore encountered by the seven deceased.
VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, Nov.…
VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, Nov. 9. (Before the VIC»-CHANCW.LOR OF ENGLAND.) PHILLIPS V. BARLOW. The Vice-Chancellor gave judgment in this case, reported I in the Globe on the 5th instant, and which was a petition presento'l to the court by Sir W. Owen Barlow, Bart., who is now tenant for the life in possession, without impeachment of waste, of certain estates in PenlbroVeshire, praying the payment to him of a fr.nd in Court of JPT,000, the produce of the sale of certain timber whirl; had. been cut down »pon the estates by order of the court, durirg the life-time of the first tenant for life, who was impeachable of waste. The timber in question, which was not ornamental, Lsd been cut down i in order to improve the growth of the young trees. The claim of the petitioners was resisted by the parties interested in the reversion in fee of the estates, contending that the fund belonged to the inheritance. The petitioner's claim was mninly supported by the authority of the case of Waldo v. Waldo, 12 Simons. His Honor, in driving judgment, after stating what had been the proceedings in the suit, said that this case could not be distinguished in substance from the case of Waldo v. Waldo, and Having reconsidered -the decision to ffiat ease, he was the more satisfied that. what was done therein was right, and he must treat that decision, as it had not been appealed against, as a precedent. The present case, in bis opinion, not being distinguishable from it in substance, the petitioner was entitled to have the fund in court paid out to Li in.—GLbe.
A BRIG SUNK IN THE MERSEY.
A BRIG SUNK IN THE MERSEY. A second edition of the Liverpool Standard gives the fol- lowing particulars The brig Blundell sailed from Liverpool for Trinidad on Saturday, at half-ebb, with wind about N.N.W. At mid- night the pilot left her, the N.W. Light-tfhip bearing at the time S. by W. Stood on for two houts, and chn stood towards the light. At two o'clock 'tacked ship, and stood four hours heading W. and W. 4 S. At eight o'clock made the Great Ormshead wind light. About eight on Sunday night a breeze sprung up from the northward and westward, which freshened till midnight, when a sudden gust carried away the jibboom. Tke bands were at the time reefing the maintopsail. At fofr atelock main made Lynas light, broad on the lee bow, distance about eight miles. Wore ship, and at half-past eight o'clock, the sea running tremendously high, and the ship laboring and strain- ing dreadfully, carried away the foretopmast stay, and fore- topmast, which, with all the gear, hooked the foreyard, and split the foresail to pieces. To save the vessel, the wreck was immediately cut away, when It was found necessary to kaep Ihe yumps constantly ffoing. Stood on till twelve o'clock, heading uorth-east, the wind still blowing tremendously in heavy gasts, when g I they spoke the fishing-boat Eliza and Betsey, which stopped by them. At ten o'clock passed the Rock Light; saw a ship to the eastward (the American ship Feroiria), and a collision took place before there was time to clear her. The brig had a fight up, and a watch was, we learn, on the deck of the Feronia. The Feronia's bowsprit hooked the mainmast of the brig, and her cutwater struck her just abaft the main rigging with Mich a tremendous crash that it carried away a great portion of her side. At half past ten the brig was cleared from the ship, and almost immediately went down, head foremost in 9$fathoms at low water. At this time the vessel was drifting bodily to leeward. About four o'clock a man came on board as pilot, the N.W. Light-ship bearing about S. distant about #w«»ty miles. Got the snip to wear at 8 a.m., and. ran her through Victoria Channel. The Feronia was inward boiwd from Quebec, and was anchored off the Magazines. Thti haftds-had barely time to save themselves. J' • 1 ■ <> >'YL

LATE FRACAS THE CARLTON. (Cj.I;B.-7-Tn a recent j number we explained the cause of the late hubbub in this club, in which Mr. D'lsitteH was implicated, bat which lie indignantly repelled. It seems the night porter had been in the habit, not only of listening to tne conversation of the members from the upper part of the house, first taking care to open a window partially, that he might hear. When the gentleman was dismissed, he not only refused to go, daring the club to turn him off, and threatened to expose the club if he was not provided for elsewhere. At length he was paid three months wages in advance, and prorided frith a berth in the Ordnance department. It is believed that be was for- merly a spy in the service of government. At all events, he knew more than the aristocrats wished to be known.— Durham Chronicle. SIR HENRY POTTINGKR.—Tuesday morning Mr. Gilpin, a master of the Merchant Tailors' Company, introduced by Major-General Dyson, waited on Sir Henry Pottinger, to tender him the freedom of that compaRy, which has been the first mark of mercantile approbation bestowed on Sir Henry. MOROCCO.—The following is an extract of a letter received it Lloyd's from their agent at Gibraltar, dated Nov. 4th :— By private intelligence received here faom Morocco, it ap- pears that the state of that country is very unsatisfactory, aarticularly in the neighbourhood of Mogadore, where there ivas a scarcity of provisions, owing to the disorders amongst ;he Kaliulep in the interior. However very little reliance :an be placed on such unauthenticated reports." Last Friday morning three men, named Martin Maher, the elder, Martin Maher, the younger, and William Maher, were fully committed to the jail, at Nenagh, by John Gore .Jones, Esq., R.M., and Major Priestley, to take their trials at the next assizes, for the wilful murder of Timothy Cleary, near Barnane. FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT.—On Tuesday afternoon a lad named Jeaae. Savage, 12 years of age, was holding a linhted candle to his father, who was trimmtng the naphtha lamps at a meeling-hnnse of the Teetotal Society, George-street, Sloane-street, when his attention was for a moment drawn otf, and the flare of the candle approaching too near the spirit, the latter ignited, and both father and son were instantly en- veloped in flames. The hands and other parts of the father iwere much burnt, but the unfortunate boy, over whom a great portion of the naphtha had been split, was obliged to be rolled sortie time upon the flooring before the flames could bfe extinguished. He was then wrapped up in a bbmket.and conveyed to St. George's Hospital, where he remains in a deploniLle state of suffering. be rolled some time upon the flooring before the flames could bfe extinguished.

--HER MAJESTY'S YISIT TO BUliGlILEY.
HER MAJESTY'S YISIT TO BUliGlILEY. At ten minutes to nine o'clock on Tuesday, her Majesty and Prince Albert, in a carriage and four, left Buckingham Palace for the Birmingham Railway station. The suite followed in two carriages Mill fGtlr. The royal cortege was attended by outriders and a party of the 17th Lancers, and proceeded through the iron gates, St. James's Palace, into Pall-mall, and up Waterloo-place and Regent-street. The royal party and suite arrived at the Euston-square terminus of the London and Birmingham Railway at a quar- ter past nine, in three of the household carriages and four. The Earl of Liverpool, Earl Delawarr, and the Earl of Jer- sey, had preceeded her Majesty and Prince Albert, and were, with some of the Directors of the Company, in attendance to receive them. Two rooms had been splendidly filicu up for the occasion, and to these the Queen and the Prince were ushered on their arrival, and remained there for nearly a quarter of an hour, while the special train wa$_beint: got in I readiness. The passages leading to the royal apartmrn s were covered with scarlet cloth. The Queen was dressed in a drab-coloured silk travelling cloak and black silk bonnet; and the Prince wore a long military cloak. It was remarked that both her Majesty and Prince Albert appeared in excellent health. The special train with its royal convoy started for Weedon at twenty minutes before ten. Upon her Majesty's arrival at Weedon, where she left the railway train, she was met by the Lord Lieutenant of the connty, the Marquis of Exeter, and by the High Sheriff, Sir Henry Dryden. Here were also assembled to receive her Majesty a immber of the leading gentry of this part of the county, and a numerous assemblage of the fair sex, who had congregated from Daventry and other places in the neigh- bourhood, who were accommodated with seats on platforms erected for the occasion. The 47th Regiment lined a portion of the road through Weedon, and a guard of honour from the same regiment, with its excellent band, was stationed at the terminus to receive her Majesty. An escort of the 7th lIus- sars was in attendance to accompany her Majesty. After passing through Bulwick, a village about ten miles from Burghley, which also had its triumphal arches and de- corations in honor of her Majesty, the royal cortcye was met by nearly seven hundred of the Marquis of Exeter's tenantry, who were mounted and lined either side of the road, at the commencement of the noble marquis' estate, nearly seven miles from Stamford. After the royal carriage had passed through their ranks, amidst the cheers of the horsemen, they filed two and two, and followed her Majesty to the entrance of Burghley Park, where they left and proceeded to Stam- ford. A dinner was provided for them by the noble marquis, at the several hotels and inns in the town. The poor inha- bitants, also, on his lordship's property, have not been for- gotten bv him, and various sums of money have been sent to the different villages for their benefit. The mayor and corporation of the borough of Stamford met her Majesty and Prince Albert at the boundary of the bor- ough. on the Wothorperoad to the Burghley Lodges. When her Majesty arrived opposite Burghley Lodge, the procession filed off on either side of the road. The poor of Stamford and St. Martin's were regaled at the expense of their more wealthy neighbours, who collected a fund for the purpose by subscription and at the town-hall, the Blue-coat School, and at a large and vacant house in Broad-street, committees have been sitting to carry out the arrangements. The lodges at the entrance to Burleigh have been hung with variegated lamps, which will be lit up soon as it is dark. There are two crowns—under one is the initial V., and under the other A. and immediately fee*cath them is inscribed, "God save the Qineen." During the period of her Majesty's stay at Burleigh, a number of the nobility and others have been invited to meet ber Majesty. When her Majesty arrived at Kettering, she alighted at the White Hart Hotel for a short time, in order to give the marquis time to reach Burghley in advance of her. 40
THE REPEAL ASSOCIATION,
THE REPEAL ASSOCIATION, ) The nsnni weekly meeting of the Association took place on I Monday in the Conciliation-hall, Dublin. The attendance was rather better then on the last day. On the motion of Mr. M. O'ConnolI, M.P., the chair was taken by Captain Broderick, ex-J.P. The chairman said that a repeal of the union, if well con- sidered, was one involving the interests of England as well as those of Ireland in the same beneficial decree, as the price of labour in England must tver fee regulated by its price in Ireland, as the means of conveyance between the two coun- tries was now so much within the reach of all classes that the starving inhabitants of this country were able to compete in the English labour market. The gallant gentleman pro- ceeded to state that he was happy to say that before long they would see parliament in Ireland, (cheers.) One of the V«t things that A Voice.—Ws wont take Federalism. The chairman was again prodding to carry out his obser- vations, when he was again interrupted by aether voice cry- ing out, We must have repeal, and nothing else. but repeal." The chairman then observed that England had recognised the principle of self-legislation, and nothing else than a re- peal could accord with their national honor. Mr. Ray, the secretary, made his second appearance in the association since his imprisonment. He read a letter from Mr. O'Connell. The letter was a vewr lengthy document, and stated that the Federalism to which Mr. O'Connell felt it preference, was one that meant something more than a simple repeal. Mr. O'Connell having declared his intention to meet the meeting of the association on the 25th instant, says that it is his design on that day to bring forward two topics of great and vital importance. The first involves the subject of an application to parli- ament for an impeachment of the persons principally concern- ed in the late monster prosecutions, otid in particular to con- aider deliberately the propriety of addressing the people of Great Britain, in order to procure their aid in enforcing on Parliament the necessity of such an appointment. If such an address shall be agreed upon, it will remain to be deter- mined whether It shall take place by personal attendance in England of a delegation of the Association, or through the medium of the press. The second great object for the consideration of the Asso- ciation on the 2.5th, is one which has engrossed much of my thoughts, anu from which my mind is foil of the anticipations of great utility, if it can be loyally arranged— I mean the appointment of a Preservative Society of 300. It is quite true that the legal difficulties are very great; the Irish people are oppwiised by the tyrannous weight of the Convention Act—an enactment from the infliction of which tfke peqple of England are perfectly free." Several sums of money were haiided in. Mr. Maurice O'Connell handed in C.500 forwarded from New York. (Loud cheefs.) The thanks of the meeting weie unanimously voted to the subscribers. Mr. O'Connell also read a letter accompanying the subscription. The letter promised that they would collect je2,000, the sum which was imposed as a fine upon Mr. O'Connell. The rent amounted to £ 838 16s. 3d. 0

I ITHE PEMBROKESHIRE HERALD.
THE PEMBROKESHIRE HERALD. HAVERFORDWEST, NOV. 15, 1R44. In the chapter of foreign affairs, France presents us with a royal ordonnance for a new organization of the Ministry of war of which new organization the principal feature relates to the department of military plans and statistics. It is also stated on the authority of the" Constitutionel" that the .French Govern- ment has forwarded to Spain the documents which were found in the possession of Amettler, by which means it is that the clue to the late conspiracy has been detected. The detection, however, of conspiracies in Spain, though doubtless important enough to that country, has ceased to occasion much excitement elsewhere. To hear of her new Ministries"—the new modi- fications of her constitution"the breaking out and the putting down of insurrections here and there— the unheard-of revolutions that are putting together and pulling to pieces, now, the schemes of Mode- rados, and now, those of Progresistas ;—the continent has been thoroughly satisfied with them long since. But here is another conspiracy at Burgos another conspiracy "apprehended" in Gaticia; Valencia is much agitated much disaffection is understood to prevail in the army;" the recruits complain of their floggings, and are sighjiig after Espartero, who would now be the very man for them. A more pitiable; spectacle than is presented in that peninsula, is difficult to imagine in a country professing Euro- pean civilization. Spain might go to the Punjaub and ask for lessons iB government. Worst of all, the confusion appears no nearer its termination than twelve months ago and no more does any avenue appear to be opening to a harmonious and peaceable administration of Spanish affairs, than if the Queen were to dismiss the whole clique of her political intriguers, and call to her councils the banditti that infest the mountains. It is rumoured that a Strang^ difference has already arisen between the Belgian Chambers that whereas it was the general custom for ihe Lower Chamber to prepare the address in replv, to the king's speech, w inch wisfadopted without ^h^ndment, the address has now been rejected by the First Cnamoer, tne reason of which, in consequence of its deliberations being secret, the Second Chamber could not officially know. The suspected motive is, that the address contained a paragraph desiring a reform of the Con- stitution, and which would bear upon the privileges of the Upper Chamber. The last news from Poland speaks of a secret association for political purposes being lately dis- covered, and of many arrests being made at Warsaw and other places. Twenty-two were subsequently set at liberty three were banished for life to Siberia and eighteen condemned to the same punishment for ten years. THE Calcutta Review" has lately been winding up the administration uf Lord Ellenborough. It regards him as a compound of contrasts—the inhe- ritor of propensities which make him do everything that should be done, and everything that should be left undone. He went to India to rival the magni- ficent benevolence of the Mohammedan conquerors, and also to govern it on the strictest principles of peace. He left India, declaring that his only regret was for being severed from the military the military being the only class; who felt the least regret at being severed from him." The Review" regards him as sincere in the main, but as a man who did not know himself. With great talents, he was not a strong-minded man the glare of pomp and circum- stance dazzled him he became a completely different ruler from that which he thought-he should be, when living under the smoky influences of a London atmosphere. His intense self-appreciation and abun- dant contempt of others, in due time wrought its own punishment; and when he fell, he fell a sacrifice to his own self-confidence and self-complacency, struck down by those whose power he had despised, and p whose opposition he thought he had demolished." This is sharp language, but probably not at all overstrained. »

The recent movement" at Oxford, with the train of anticipated consequences connected with it, has induced the Times" to favor its readers with a fresh recapitulation of its sentiments on the subject of Puseyism." It tells us that ten years ago there y 11 was a loud and violent clamor for Church Reform and that notwithstanding the medley motives in which that clamor originated,-—some sincerely wish- ing the renovation of the Church, some longing for her overthrow, and others joining in the attack for the mere gratification of a spirit that could be fed by nothing but restless ilanovation,-that much real good was yet the result. It allows that there was decidedly room for improvement; and that we are not the less to value a good result, because it has been produced by inimical agency. It goes indeed so far as to say that everything that was good seemed then in danger that there was lifelessness in the Church, neglect of the poor, luxurious living, abuse of authority, careless performance of duty, seeking after sinecures, and either feebly defend- ing, or altogether receding from the Church doc- .9 trines. Rather grave charges these. But the Radical revolutionists of the day, thinking that this was the nick of time to step' in and put an end to her very existence, did what they least ex- pected—certainly what they least desired, to accom- plish. They shook the slumbering Establishment, not with sufficient force to make it fall together, but to rouse it to the use of means for ensuring its fu- turestrength and stability. Hence the cry against the Church is as loud as ever for she has passed from one extreme to the other. In the first place her luxury was not to be endured now, she is disgus- ting them with herself-denial., Then, she was too lukewarm now, over-zealous. Another point in the winding-up of this climax, the Times" brings in-with an amttsing <caitioa; in the wording. Then, they clamored againsfher y..ealth; but now-, if a man seek voluntary poverty, they are scared to death at this his damnable irerefcy." The writer had evidently an awkward stumbling-block here in the way of rounding off. the paragraph. It would have read very neatly to say that the Church was then luxurious, now self-denying; then slothful, now laborious then ricA, now pOOr-but this would be writing too rapidly so that the neatest antithesis which offers itself on the occasion is that of contras- ting the cry against her former wealth with what will take place now if a man in her ranks should think of eschewing wordly possessions. The "Times" in disclaiming, as a public journalist, every attempt to meddle with matters strictly reli- gious, or with points of doctrinal controversy, thinks proper to declare here once for all, that it utterly denounces any sympathetic feeling whatever with any religious movement, which, however exem- plary and efficient in other respects, bears the slight- est appearance-mark that phrase, good reader-of tending towards a revival among us of the corrupt practices and hideous perversions of the Church of Rome." It would "oppose" such a movement, "if any such existed by every means in its power. And it is precisely because nothing whatever of the kind does exist, that its columns have but little to do with theology. No, no look at 1834, and then look at 1844. How marked a change. True, there may have been, indeed there is, much injudicious and hasty innovation externals have been foolishly and suddenly changed—surplices have been worn, and mere usages crudely revived, as if the symbol were the thing signified." But these are a few accidental evils that rushed in'for the moment with the new influx of life, power, zeal, laboriousness in duty; and purity in doctrine. Low Radicals, and milk-and-water Conservatives, with a deplorable want of tact in separating the grain from the chaff, have jumbled them all together in their distorted imagina- tions, and luiv e ignorantly and maliciously nicknamed the whole Puseyism." Amid all the impending calamities that threaten us as a religious and political people, it is, in the mean time, a rich consolation to know that when the storm breaks over us, efficient shade and shelter will not be wanting. Help will be forthcoming from quarters 'where it was little thought of. Should there be the most distant approaches to a separation between England and Ireland, Daniel O'Connel will at once nip the evil in the bud. Should there be in our country the most distant approaches to a spirit of free-thinking on religious subjects, Robert Owen will hasten back from America to vindicate the rights of Revelation. And should there be found in our establishment the most distant approaches to the hideous practices of the Romish Church, on our giving due notice of the same at the Times" office, the man of sin shall be impaled in a trice. «

Mr. Millard moved, and Mr. William Owen seconded, That Mr. O. E. Davies be elected mayor. Mr. Thomas Rowlands mOTed, as an amendment, That Dr. Morgan be elected to the office of mayor, but the propo- sition not being seconded, the original motion was declared duly carried.

Mr. Alderman Evans nftw fcanded a note to the mayor, and with Mr. Alderman OweTfthen withdrew, their term of office having now expired. Tb^jnayor then read the note, which was listened to with apparent regret by all, and was as follows:— Ha^erfitt'dwest, 9th Nov., 1844-.

With every wish for the prosperity of tne bordvtgh', ".J am, .dear sir, Very faithfully yours, « William Evans." To the mayor of Haverfordwest. The secession of so efficient a member as Mr. Evans was so deeply regretted, that the town clerk waa unanimously de- puted to wait on him to solicit hi,s permission to his being re-elected but be still declined.

The meeting was adjourned to the first Wednesday in December next. SPORTING REMINISCENCES. That this country fs a sporting one, no person with the least pretension to the possession of common sense can doub*. The habits of its people, if closely observed, will be a sufficient guarantee for the truth of this assertion. The highest and the lowest—the peer and the pauper—all seek their favorite amusements. Witness the former on some of our principal race-courses—although deeply engaged in affairs of state, pale with intense thought, and with a brow whereon wrinkles prematurely sit, intent on carrying out that measure whichf his ambition (or it may be his interest) has tied him to—even he may be found among the bijsy throng backing his favorite, and investing his capital on an Alice Hawthorn or a Foigh a Ballagh. Behold the latter-the child of penury and want, ignorant when and where the cravings of his appetite are to be satiated, his wardrobe in a most dilapidated state,—see him at the cover-side of some favorite meet of the bound* in his neigbbouriiuod. Ills looks betray the pleasure that h* feels. "Old Towler challenges-Tallyho is heard—aad: sway fliea the proprietor of the tattered habiliments, with an energy as great as if he were pitted agamst J ownselJd (the Idas of our day) tor .v tuou^and pounds. But hold hard, and let us jog aio"g in a more matter-of-fact form. Sea-side residellc.a have long since been vacated—the season of lassitude is over -yawning and yachting are past -and the manly sports of the field demand attention. The campaign of one thousand eight hundred and forty four opened with the Knights of the Trigger, and Scotland, so far back as August, was the scene of attraction. The moors (not the sable opponents of Do Joinville) were disturbed with the report of fire-arms. Game, including grouse, blackcock, and ptarmigan, were in abun- dance, and sport was in an equal ratio an almost incredible number of birds having been killed. Scotia, indeed, has not alone been favored with the presence of the aristocracy of this country in pursuit of their favorite pastime, even Royalty has made no scruple of relaxing from the cares attendant on a crowned head, and the present Majesty of vr1* Britain, emulous ot the days when the monarchs of Merrie England" enjoyed the pleasures derived from sylvan sports with all the ardour of enthusiasts. And it is question now perhaps difficult to solve, whether any previous Ruler over the destinies of this country ever witnessed such a magnificent sight,, as that collected at Blair Athol by its noble owner for the eye ot our own little Queen. Fancy » herd ot deer, amounting to some fifteen thousand, collected together in one common mass! There stood the antlered monarchs of the waste, in wild amaze, tossing their beamed frontlets to the sky, while cowering beside them crouched their more gentle companions. Royalty, which is accustomed to see things on a large scale, confessed its surprise. The Southerns were completely staypered, and the attendants in trading only Waited an opportunity to confess, that previous to that time they had not been sufficiently far North. Deer- stalking was enjoyed by the roval party with a zest not to be surpassed—her Majesty frequently leading the way over :mtres vast and deserts wild," to the astonishment of her mountain guides. But bidding adieu to the opposite side ot the Tweed, September and an early harvest invited the sportsman back to the sunny glades and more fertile plains of his more southerly home,—and a more prolific season for partridges it was never his lot to know: the merest tyro having by his exploits put to shame the veteran of former years. But all things are fleeting. Time and tide wait for no man and September and October have passed awav, having been superseded by that mouth which painters find so much difficulty to delineate. Its seared and yellow leaves, doffed of all gaudy exterior, have still their charms for at this period the sport of all sport should be at its zenith. And surely no one can doubt what that is but should there be any person whose attics are so scantily furnished as not to be cognizant by anticipation, then we must illuminate bis opaque understanding, and plainly state that we mean fox-hunting, with all its excitement and gentle or ungentle reader, as the case may be, when the grey goase quill, was seized to throw together a few wandering ideas, tluit was to have been the theme on which we meant to dilate; but on reflection, finding that sufficient rain had not fallen to soften the baking which the land received during the past summer, a wider range is necessary. Now, however, November, with its murky and moist atmosphere, having rolled on, better things may be looked for, and, as if responsive to our wish, an opportunity has at length offered itself for essaying our descriptive powers, in pourtraying a good and brilliant day with the PEMBROKESHIRE FOX-HOUNDS. This pack having met at Woodstock, on Thursday, the 7th inst., at the appointed time, Tew threw ljis hounds into this cover, which, with Velindre, were drawn blank but the plantations at Farthing's Hook held a fox, which was in, stantly obliged to be on the alert-the pack driving him through these covers at a tremendous pace; but pug would not be forced from the scen" of his juvenile recreations, and fell an ignominious victim to his obstinacy at Woodstock Mill. No tihie- was lost another of the Farthing's Hoolt covers was tried and a vigorous undulation of the brushy- wood gave note of something being on foot. No cheering was necessary. Crash Crash! and Hullah's instruction for the million was at a discount. The varmint had roused himself from his lair. Still for upwards of an hour he fol- lowed the example of his predecessor—clinging to his strong- holds; but the pack, now dashing with recklessness through every obstacle, at last forced him to the open. Tew, who was the first to see him, gave" the loud Tallyho!" and, as quick as thought, laid on his hounds—going off with him on excellent terms, and Gwynne (the whin) doing his business very creditably with the loiterers. Henry's Moat was now the cry, and away for Castlebith, leaving the Tufton Arms Inn, with its cu-rw da, to the left, and running close to th« village of Castlebith, nearing Puncheston. He made a ring pointing towards Ambleston; but, scorning the habitations.of man, he crossed the moors, at Wallis, with an undiminished vigor, a chorus being loudly chanted in his unwilling ears. The pace was now made good, and it was evident that he was for trying Woodstock. Passing the farmhouse, he entered the cover, from which be was speedily served with a most unceremonious ejectment, making for the village but being pressed so closely-tbe pack being fearfully"lessening the short distance that divided them. The old adage, "as. ennn ng as a fox," was thrown away on him—the boated; sagacity of his tribe had forsaken him. The sand in his, glass was fast ebbing, and like the gallant vessel, which. lately walked the waters like a thing of life," now tempest- tossed, and with rudder gone, reels to and fro,Hso he turned short for the cover, from which his pursuers were jost emerg- ing. Still he tried for safety in some one of its recesses, but he soon found that there was no abiding place for him there,. and, contrary to the expectations of a! he again faced the, open. One of the most exciting struggles ever witaessfcd now took place,—the pursuers and the pursued being fre- quently in the same field. But this game could not last long — the hounds getting a full view of their destined victim, ran into him, bringing to a conclusion the best day's sport of the season. The timej from his first facing the opeh, until his requiem was performed, occupied forty-five 'minutes. The field that enjoyed this day's sport' was not very numerous, but straight riding was the order of the day. BOROTOH or HAVERFORDWEST.—A meeting of the watclt committee was held the 14th instant,. O. E. Davies, Esq mayor, in the chair. The following regulations were adopted: —-That Henry Pyne be appointed sergeant of the police- force. That the town be divided into the following police- divisions, namely Central division —From the Corn-market house, along Market-street, and thence to the new bridge, Dark-street to the Mariners, Town-hall, and -around St. Mary's church, to the station-house: Southern division- Parish of St. Thomas, and that part of the parish of St. Mary not included in the central division .Northern divi- sion-Parishes of St. Martin, Prendergast, and Uzmaston- That a police-constable be stationed every day, in each dtvi- sion. That neither of the constables shall< on any account, go into any public-house, and drink intoxicating liquors therein, during the time of his being on duty, under pain of- being fined 2,. 6d. for the first offence 5s. for the second of-. fence; and dismissal from the police-force for the third of" fence. The fines to be awarded by the mayor, on proof of- the offence, by confession or otherwise, and shall be deducted; from the salaries payable to the offender. That neither 01 the constables shall leave his station during the time he is on duty, unless to his meals, or for a just or lawful cause. That daify reports of all disorders, breaches of the peace, nui- sances, felonies, &c., or any attempts to commit the wtlnfl shall be faithfully and correctly rendered by the constable.. en duty, to the sergeant, who shall immediately thereupon, record the same in the police-book. PEMBROKESHIRE HUNT MEETING.—We would direct- the attention of our readers to the advertisement in out! columns relative to the hunt meeting, which is held in this- town annually. The popularity of the stewards, and the attraction in the form of sport cannot fail to draw a large., meeting indeed the town is aireadv beginning to fill. The. meets of the hounds are the best in the county. The hounds from the able management of A. W. Peel, Esq., and th« care of lew, the huntsman, are in first-rate condition. D i-' not only their appearance but the wrvk that they are able ti perform > with a high scent, no hev.uls >"i faster or hunt better. Then there are to be balls, concerts, and parti-* without number, and we hope to see next week a brilliant hunt meeting, equal to anything that has ever taken place. DEATH OF A PENSIONER.—We have to record the death of an aged pensioner at Hook, hi this county, of the name ot Daniel Davies. He was present at the battle ot the N and was wounded in the engagement, for which he a pension. lie was of the advanced age of 87 years wh^n he died if which period he was 42 years an out-penBic^3C'r" nf that excellent establishment, Greenwich Hospital. õ <
