If what everybody says is true, our town h: yet to have an institute. For ourselves, we had fai:ly been expecting to see the institute, and the: Greek calenus arrive together. But however incredulous we may be disposed to show ourselves, there certainly are existing tacts, which do look stubborn. Funds are raised, members enrolled, rooms hired, apparatus ordered. We congratulate our townsmen, on the event. The history of the past had been gloomy. A grand effort was made two or three years since, and an in- stitute there was to be and such an institute i The programme was truly magnificent. How and in what way its comprehensive objects were to be effec- ted, was a mystery, for it seemed almost to combine the benefits of an institute and a university. But while all were waiting to see the effects, one morn- ing the institute disappeared. The public was greatly surprised the printer particulaily surprised; but the face was unalterable 'twas gone, and 'twas seen no more. Not long afterwards, a band of youthful philan- thropists took pity on the town, and commenced operations in High-street. They resolved to proceed noiselessly, but effectively, and not to stop till Ha- verfordwest became morally and intellectually re- generated. So vigorously did they go forward in their career that their work was all done in six months. But they fell into a deplorable mistake They forgot that the means which had effected the great object, should be still kept up, in order to pre- serve and watch over the intellectual life of the people. Instead of duly remembering this, as soon as the town was regenerated, they shut shop. The consequence is; that all this work has now to be done over again. We arc, therefore, glad to find that something has been done, with an especial view to the permanency of the new institute. But we shall refer the reader at once to the subjoined communication :— t It may not be known to many of the public, and we fee! no j little gratification in announcing the fact, that steps have been taken to establish a permanent, and well-organised institution for the diffusion of useful knowledge, and the advancement of science in this town. It has been matter of just surprise tha', in a town possessing so much general intelligence and wealth, nothing of the kind has been hitherto established.. Attempt-, have, once aaain, been made but, from some radical error at the outset, the projects have been either fallen, still lower, to the ground, or have lingered, in great misery for a few months, and then perished. To those who were at all acquainted with the extremely crude and jejune manner in which those projects were commenced, we think it could be productive of no 3Urpr1!\C that the public, generally, displayed but little in- terest in the matter. Neither \Vfcs it to be wondered at. that former failures should have prejudiced the public mind to some considerable extent, against anything of the kind hut no pains hare been spared on the present occasion, so thorough' to consider the undertaking, and to lay a good foundation, as to distinguish it from alt the schemes which have before been submitted to notice. The names of the gentlemen, who have expressed tVir approbation of the plan, and have come forward most handsomely with their assistance, is quite a guarantee that it is a Dona-fide affair. It doubtless, well known that the various tradesmen in the town have come to a resolution to close their establishments at an early hour, in order to afford their young men an opportunity of, not only divesting themselves fay- an hour or two the care anù toil of bnMn?ss but, especially, that they might have opportunity of storing their minds with such information as may fit them for the various duties which, as citizens, it is presumed they ,v, i, I hereafter, be called u: on to undertake. Fully impressed, as every reflecting mind must be, with the debasing effect a life of drudgery must have on young men, whose minds are now. or never, to be cultivated, and whose habits are being formed for life deeply as every reflecting person, must fee! its importance, to the individuals themselves, we know of no- thing more pregnant with good or ill to the country, than the character, which is about to be stamped, by the present oc- cupants of the middle ranks of life, on their immediate suc- cessors. If the next occupants are to be introduced to the theatre of public life, with just so much knowledge of their political power, as they will, inevitably, possess and as little sense of their reapon"ihilít", as citizens, as, without some effort of the nreSI'J1t kind, they are likely to obtain we must confess, we tremble for the result. Even assuming that a man is not the worse, in private life, because of his ignorance, hstt* *mportant that, in the jury-box, in the and the various other stations filled, principally, btrades-i man, so much general information, so much knowledge, not to be acquired behind the counter or at the desk, should be broufrht to bear. Such are the views which are beginning-to obtain with the tnastcM snch the views entertained by the promoters of this undertaking. It only remains that tiie greatest care shall be taken so t,) cater for the members—so to combine gratification with solid information, as to stimulate a healthy thirst after knowledge. This department is to be confided to a select committee. One hundred guineas have been contributed to- wards th" purchase of a library newspapers, and periodicals, being procured by the annual income from subscribers. An eligible house has been taken on the New Bridge: one room is to appropriated for conversation and light reading, a:d other rooms are to set apart for the use of those who pre- fer to study in retirement. We doubt not that all success will be generally wished to the undertaking,

TO COKRESPuXDENTS. The demands unan onr space have prevented the insertion of several comm unications, which wit! appear next week.

THE presentation, by Lord Brougham, of a petition from the magistrates at Liverpool,—which petition asks for revision of the criminal law, especially in regard to juvenile offenders,-has led to some most important disclosures relating to this question. From reports made by inspectors of prisons, and from va- rious documents furnished by France, Belgium, and Germany, his lordship has gathered a mass of infor- mation on the subject upon which the petition hears. But Liverpool itself is a host of witnesses. The po- pulation is 300.009, and, during the last seven years, 51,000 person i have been committed for trial and out of this iJnmber 10,000 have been committed for the fifth time. The prosecutions for fourteen juve- nile offenders, committed, one with another, a hun- dred and twenty times, had cost £889. His lordship proceeded to show in what way these cases were managed f Isewhere. An institution has existed for ten years in Franca, where youthful pri- soners are trained in a community—a community made to resemble, as nearly as possible, the domestic relations of a family, supported by its own labor and by government grants. Now for the results. Of five hundred and twenty-one boys, received since its establishment, seventeen had died twelve had been sent'back to prison; a hundred and forty-four had been put out in situations, seven had related nine were of doubtful character but—a hundred and twenty- eight had conducted themselves to the full satisfac- tion of their employers. Then came the contrast, by a report respecting one thousand and fifty prisoners in the gaol at Preston. Of these, five hundred and twenty-seven did not know the Queen's name four hundred and ninety knew not the meaning of the words vice," vir- tue," "guilt' "si-i;" only twenty had received! anything like an education. Never did conclusion follow with greater evidence that the criminal law wants thorough revision," What a field for enlightened legislation is unfolded here What calculation, C<1n do justice to the amount of needless crime and misery which are abroad upon the land, merely through the want of a rational and careful treatment, based on the principle that young offenders should be taken care of, and not rigorously punished, and then, at once, turned loose Tipon society. A really sound and effective legisla- tion in this matter would, with all its comparatively unpretending character, confer a thousand-fold greater honor on the government than the most brilliant; measures of a merely political nature. In Lord Brougham's very telling speech, there does, at the same time, appear, occasionally, a bit of his peculiar logic. Thus he speaks of the insum- ciency of punishment:—" The effect of punishment j to deter from crime was a mighty failure, the fact. being that when a man was considering whether he would commit a crimp, he did not calculate what would be the consequence, as regarded himself, but that the entire influence of his passions arose from his closing his eyes to danger, and made him san- gnina as to the chance of escaping punishment." This is a difficult sentence to grapple with. The in- j ftnence of a man's passions arises from his closing his eyes to danger, saith his lordship. Would it not rather appear that this influence of passions is the -very thing that closes the eyes to danger ? Again j he makes no calculation about the consequences, being blinded to them and yet, he is sanguine as to the chances of escaping punishment. That is, he makes a calculation'that he shall escape a punish- ment, concerning which punishment he, through the 'blindne?3a»of his passions, has made no calculation whatever.

A nominal majority of three has carried the second reading of Mr. Watson's Catholic relief bill. Mr. O'Brien was, probably, not far from the truth, when be characterised the discussion of this measure as worthy of the dark age3. It was, in truth, the driest and dreariest debate that even a British parliament has succeeded in producing, They who opposed the measure had nothing to say against it; and they who were its advocates had nothing to say for it, save and except that such laws a3 Mr. Watson sought to re- peal, were useless and ridiculous. From the very nature of the subject, it was next to impossible to give it a shadow of interest as mathematical pro- blems which are nearly self-evident, are generally most difficult to prove, so in problems of legislation. Lord George Bentinck was the only one that threw around the question a few scintillations of genius Mr. Macaulay, who had before him just the kind of topic that he is fond of flourishing over, could do no- thing. Sir R. Inglis was only a repetition of his triteot bits of protestantism'; and Sir R. Peel, won- *erfni to relats, was very much in doubt whether *pabiic opinion was sufficiently favorable to the aboli tion of those protective statutes which guarded—or were meant to guard—the emancipation act. We have read some able articles on this question, from journals which are seriously disposed to regard th). measure a* another heavy blow, and great discouragement" to the protestantism of this country. We wigil cc heavier blows had ever been inflicted on it, and that no heavier blows were in contemplation. Where panai .aws are fairly based on political ground, they cannot Lc objectionable they cannot be called) persecuting. They are levelled at no religion, as to its confessicr of faith, but as to its mischievous po- litical tendencies. Bat these laws which are now to go from the stitite-book, though, professedly, of the latter character, are so vague and intangible, that I common consent has made them a dead letter. It is eorions to hear long and energc'ic speeches in favor «f retaining them as laws, by speakers who would t shrink with horror at seeing the laws enforced Of what earthly use can they be ? They are not so re- spectable as scarecrows, for they give no rebel Catho- 1'I eftQ the chtek of a salutary terror. Mr. Watson was porfectly ^rrect when he contended that they N fhoald he wiptc from the statute-book, out of respect J to protestantisr. Wa are puzzled, indeed, to tee- on what logical HP$rcnnd« the measure is to be prevented from being r made complete. Not even our higli-fiying radicals will to'^rate th procession of the h;"t through l."H1- 4on. Why 1 3 canse there is no intolerance in ^vbtiding for it weald endanger public tran- j Pot the qocstion cannot be disposed of :a nfiic Catholics are allowed the free cxer- I |fr-iT religion, they arc entitled to give it its ftagaankni exhibition, tn <lo witu it as thf.y Vi a papal nta?**— eine they ire "fiJy rvur'.aiK 'tcrsted. laivhi easily conce<>< of tha public tranquility being endangered by tho celebration 0f lb- ordinary Catholic services it has •jen so, and may he so aijv.n. Poor freedom for any religion, if it is obliged to adapt itself to every pos- sible state of public tranquillity. Mobs ought not to be parliaments. Those gentlemen legislators who appear so prodigiously sensible to public opinion and miblic feeling, may rest assured that the said public have net half as many objections to having the host paraded through their streets, as they have to being made to pay for upholding such solemn fooleries.

PEMBROKESHIRE COUNTY COURT. On Tuesday last, the first county court of the present sheriff, William Henry Lewis, Fsq., was held in the Shire- hall, Haverfordwest, before William Evans, Esq., the; acting county clcrk. There was no business of importance done. The usual entry of notices, and the furthering a step in the other proceedings before mentioned, took place, with seme notices of trial for the next court. At this, the first, court, the county clerk appoints the different replevin clerks for the county, for the ensuing year, who are as follows — Haverford west,M. R. James, Thomas Qwvnne, Thomas Morgan, James Summers, James Scow- croft, William Rees, George Parry, John Lloyd. William Thomas Heslop, William Cozens, and Henry Mathias, Esqs,; Narbi-rth, H. O. Martin, W. H. Owen, and Thomas Lewis, Esquires Fishgnard, Stephen Mathias, Esq.; Tenby, Wm. Lock, and John Gwynne, Esquires Pembroke, Robert Lock, Robert Lannine-, William Gibbon, and M. W. Owen, Esquires Cardigan, Thomas Morgan, Lewis Evans, Thomas George, William Amlot, Thomas Davies, R. J. Jenkins, and James Smith, Esquires. It is expected that this court, so far as the recovery of SffifllJ debts, will be entirely done away with as soon as the small debts act comes into operation, and which, no doubt, will be a great benefit to the county, as we have recently known an instance where the sum contended for only amounted to 5s., and that the question at issue was, whether or not a legal tender had been made that the costs of that suit, on both sides, amounted to upwarci6 of XID, whereas, under tha new act, such difference can be settled for less than 53.

Mr. M. R. James appeared for the prosecution, and stated the case to the jury. Thomas Georee. the prosecutor, examined I am a farmer residing in the parish of I"hnychllwyctcg. Some time ill tiw month of May last, I lost a "brass-pan. The pan now pro- duced by Lloyd, the superintendent constable, is the one lost by me. I am enabled to identify it by the number of places in which it has been repaired, Cross-examined The pan is not now in the saaw slate as wh"n I lost it but 1 know it is mine by the number of places in which it has been rr.er.ded. A boy slept upon my premises, about three months before the pan was missed, who had lost one finger from his right hand. 1 saw the pan last about three weeks before it was missed. It had then pota- t08S in it for planting. I never saw the boy referred to on my premises after the night he slept there nor did I on any occasion say that I suspected him of stealing the pan. The prisoner was never seen about ray premises, John Meyrick. superintendent-constable of Narberth, ex- amined I apprehended the prisoner, fit Narberth, from a des- el-i ptioii of him which appeared in the Hue and Cry, published in June last. I took him into custody on the 6th (It January, and on the following day conve)'ed him to r isnguard. 1 did not say anything to induce him to make any statement to me, lie said, he supposed he was apprehen ded on account, of a brass pail which he. had sold to Mr. Malt, of Haverford- west. I did not then know the charge against him, as it was only stated in the Hue (uztl Crll that he was charged with felony. He said he should not know the person of whom he purchased the pan if he were to see hirn again. Thomas Lloyd, superintendent-constable, Fishguard, ex- amined The wife of the prosecutor came to rne, in May last, and told me she had lost a brass pan, at the same time giving a description of the same. I made some inquiries at Fish. guard, and found that it bad been offered for sale there, hut had not been disposed oL I afterwards went to Haver- fordwest, and inquired of Mr. Malt if he had purchased a brass nan P He S'lid he boll. and shewed me several nans. I immediately identified "the one now produced from the others by the description given me by the prosecutors wife. Mr. Malt said he had purchased this pan from Cornelius Leary, at 5d. per lb. I knew the prisoner before, from having seen him travel the country with a basket, &e. Not being able to find the prisoner at the time in the county, I gave a dc- scription of him in the Police Gazette. \1]11a01 Ma't, examined; I have known th" prisoner for for some time, and, in May last, purchased the bra% pan now produced of him, at Sd. per lb., being what I consider a fair price for it. The pan is now in the samo state as when I purchased it of the prisoner. Cross-examined I have hHi dealings with the prisoner at different times, and always found him to be an honest man. It was daylight when I purchased the pan and he did not attempt to conceal t. Mr: John Llovd appeared for the defence, and addressed the jury at great length he then called the following wit- nesses Joseph Piotheroe, examined I am a 3chool-master resid- e 0 ing at Maenelochog, and likewise keep a lodging-house for tran,1!ers. In May last, I recollect a boy coming to mv house and asking it there was any person there who would buy a pan. I said there was not, but that I expected some men from Cardigan in the course of the week, and if they did not come I would purchase it mrse1f. He had lost one finger from his right hand, and had on a fustian jack et. I asked him where the pan was, ana he said in a quarry about five miles distant. I made him prolnise Tie that he would bring it. He slept there that night, but I never siw him again. I suspected that the pan had been stolen, which induced mo to make him promise to bring it to me. I have known the prisoner for snnw time to be a person travelling about the country with cutlery, &e. and purchasing old metal. I always considered him to be a very honest man. Martha Jenkins, examined: I keep a lodging house ta Fishguard, and have done so for the last twenty-nine years. A short time above Whitsun fair, which takes place on the 1st of June, a boy who had lost one finger came to my house for lodgings. There were men there at the time forom New- castle, who asked him if he was returned from Haverford- west already. He said he had sold the pan to an Irish lad on the road, which, saved him going to Haverfordwest. He was then asked where he had it from, to which he replied that he had it from a house about five miles from Fishguard. The men than insisted that he should be turned out, or they would not remain there that night, K3 they suspected };¡; had stolen the pan. He was then turned cut. Patrick Lpary, examined I am father of the prisoner, and a dealer in hardware. Sic. have been residing in this county for the last two years. In May last I was at Trevino, and met a boy there, who had lost one finger, and was dressed in a fustian jacket. He offered me a brass pan for sale, which I declined purchasing as it was not convenient at the time. The chairman then summed up the evidence. Verdict--Not guilty. Attorney for the prosecutian-fr. M. R. James and for the clefence- MT. John Lloyd. Thomas Smith, laborer, charged with having on or about the 28th of January last, at the parish of Dinas, felonious!}' stolen a handkerchief, the property of one Ann Davies. Ann Davies examined I live at Dinas. On the 28th af January last I put a handkerchief cut to dry, and in a short time missed it. My daughter then went to a neighbour's house to teii him of the robbery. neighbour said iie sir* a lnan coming from there dressed in a v21 ".pt jacket. The constable produced the handkerchief found on prisoner, which was identified by the prosecutrix as the one she had lost. Thomas Rees examined I live at Dinas. I recollect Ann Davies losing the handkerchief. I went to Fishgnad to the constable about it. He came down through the town with me, when we met the prisoner, and I pointed him out to the constable, who took him into custody. Thomas Lloyd, superintendent constable, examined On the 28th of January last, the last witness gave me informa- tion of the robbery. I went down through the town of Fish- guard in company with him when we met the prisoner. The last witness immediately pointed him out to me as the per- son who had committed the robbc-y. I found the handker- chief now produced, and which has been identified, in the hat of prisoner, It has been in my possession from that time. Ver.fict—Guilty. Sentence—14 days' imprisonment with hard labor. Attorney for prosecution —Mr. ;1. R. James. Ann \Villhm3, charged with having on or about the 6th of January last, at the parish of Walton West, stolen a quantity of oat meal, the property of one Fnncis Davies. Francis Davie1, prosecutor, examined I live at Fox Hill, in the parish of Walton West. The prisoner was a servant in my employ in January iast. She slept with another girl. I have at ditierent times lost artic»es of property. The oat- meal was kept in a chest in the room in which the girls slept. On the Sunday following the 6th of January I was called by Letticc Harries, who told me that the bundle was taken from the head of the bed. Lettice Harries told me of the oat-meal being on the head or the bed on the 7th of January. I left it there to try to detect the person who had put it there. I saw the bundle with the prisoner on the Sunday morning, when she was going to see her mother. I asked hert she had got in her bundle, and she confessed she had taken a handful of oatmeal. I opened her bundle, and found the oat-meal in it, which I believed belonged to me. Cross-examined:—I charged her with the robber. and asked her for the bundle. She said she had about, a handful of oat-me-,ii. I then said that I would take her ta 1Ir, Cozens, the magistrate, as I was determined to prosecute her. Lettice Harries examined I am servant with Mr. Francis Davies. I had suspicion of the prisoner having put some oat-meal upon the head of the bed, and told my mistress of it, on \Vedl.csday, the 7th she told me to let the bundle remain to see who would take it away. It was tied up in a linen-cloth. 0:1 Sunday following I found the bundle removed from the head of the bed, and went and told my master. Prisoner was then down stairs at her breakfast. She was going home to see her mother that morning. She soon afterwards got her bundle and brought it to the kitchen. I asked her if she had any oat-meal, as it was gone from the bed. She said "Oat-meal! no, I have none." Master asked her what she had in her bundle, and opened it, when he found some oat-meal and a pair of stockings in it. Mr. ilf. n. James addressed the jury for the defence, and contended that the indictment could not be sustained, (1S it had not yet been shewn that any oat-meal had been lost, which bhouid have been done in the first place, and with due submission to the court he would assert that the indictment could not be sustained. The chairman then directed the jury to return a verdict of acquittal. Attorney for prosecution—Mr. Cozens. Attorney for the defcnce— Mr. "J. R. James. This closed the business of the court. HAVERFORDWEST ADJOURNED QUARTER SESSIONS. An adjourned court of quarter sessions for this town was held at the shire-hall, on Friday last, before the Rev. Thomas ;\Iartin, chairman, and J. L1. Morgan, Esq., M.D. The following gentlemen were sworn on the grand jury.— Messrs. David Clare, John Green, William Blethyn, Rhys Jones, Joseph Marychurcb, John Richards, David Price Saunders, James Sales, R. B. Pratt, John Prickett, William Perkins, John Williams, Richard Rees, William Thomas (merchant), Thomas Lewis, and Walter Reynolds. The chairman briefly addressed the grand jury, and con- gratulated them on there being but two cases for their con- sideration, after winch they retired to their duties. It will be in the recollection of some of our readers, that at the last quarter sessions it was stated by the treasurer, that Mr. Thomas Rowlands, who had been appointed by the court, to levy, and collect, the county-rate, assessed on the J extra parochial district of Portfield and Furzy Park, had re- fused to comply with the precept addressed to him, inasmuch ;].5 lie maintained that the court was not legally constituted, and therefore had no power to make the order. The clerk of the peace was, on that occasion, directed to enforce obedience to the precept, in the event of Mr. Rowlands per- sisting in hi" refusal, and likewise to request his attendance at the present adjournment, to explain hia objections. Mr, Rowlands now attended, in compliance with the re- quest of the bench, and stated the V¡eWi! he oÜertamd upon the question, and contended that the municipal clIrporation act repealed their authority to hold the quarter sessions, he said he (lid not wish to exhibit any disaffection towards authority, but there was a hardship in hie ease; he had however, given directions for the collection of the ratei", which would be paid over to the treasurer immediately but he protested against the right of the magistrates to levy it. Dr. Morgan said other per-ons itad been appointpd at the last quarter sessions in Mr. Rowlands's place. The court had been driven to the necessity of appointing him more fre- quently than they otherwise would have done,in consequence of the small number of respectable residents m the dv.t'ic?, j and the act rendered it imperative that the parties appointed nssessors should be residents therein. Mr. W. Rees complained of the state of the haD. which was completely filled with steam, occr.sioned by the fires having been lighted only an hour or so before the opening of the court.

Since the practice had been abolished there had been a decrease of 50 per cent., in the number cf vagrants committed to iho house of correc- tion. Instead of passes they are now given a small amount in money. Dr. Morgan said dIe system operated as a on the parishes and, unless it was a relief to the county, there was no advantage in continuing it. It appeared the magistrates of the county had been iT1.iueed to discontinue it, at the suggestion of the magistrates of Gloucestershire. After some further conversation, the subject was dropped. A county rate, of one penny in the pound, win ordered to be levied on ail rateable property within the town THfAL OF PRISONERS. Wilh'arr. Pitt and William Jones, twr vagrants, were in- dicted for laving, on the 28fch of February last, at the parish of Prendergast, broker: into the dwelling -house of Thomas Phillips, and stolen a silver watch. The prisoners pleaded guilty. Mr. Rees, the attorney for tse prosecution. ^r->w the atten- tion of the bench to the statement made by the prisoners to the police on their apprehension, from which it appeared that they bad been recently discharged from prison, and committed the offence with a view of being sent back. This was a sad state of things and he asked whether it might not be cured by furnishing passes to discharged prisoners. Dr. Morgan said the subject had bf ft), talked of: but Mr. Jones said the system worked very bndiv, in answer to a question from the Chairman, Mr. Jones said the prisoners had received sixpence each when they were discharged. It was their second offence the last being ibr destroying their clothes in Narberth work- house. Sentence—Imprisonment in the house of correction for eight calendar months, and kept to hard labor during that time. V\ ilbam Rowe, saddler, a man of respectable appearance, was indicted for having, on the 8th day of February last, obtained sundry goods under false pretences from William Brown, currier. Pleaded guilty. The Bench inquired whether the prisoner pleaded guilty with a full understanding of the indictment. He was charged with obtaining the goods in the name of Mr. John Harries, without having his authority for that purpose. The prisoner said he had no authority. Mr. Rees. the prosecuting attorney, said the prisoner bad made all the reparation to ihe prosecutor in his power. He had paid him the amount of the bill for the goods. Several witnesses were then called by the prisoner, who gave him a good character. The prisoner was asked by the Court if he had anything to say in mitigation of the offer/cpo He said he obtained the leather to repair harness belonging to Mr. Harries, and had r.o intention to defraud the prosecu- tor, but intended to pay him as soon as the work was done. The Court relerred to the depositions of Mr. Harries, from which it appeared that he had desired him to come to his house and bring leather with him bnt ho did not authorise him to purchase it in his (AIr. H. ) name. Mr. John Lloyd applied to the court to allow the plea to be withdrawn, as it appeared the. prisoner considered that Mr. Harries gave him authority to take up the leather. The Chairman said the prisoner had been questioned whe- ther he understood the indictment, which he appeared to dc. The jury having been discharged, it was now too late to withdraw the plea. Sentence— Imprisonment in the house of correction for a fortnight. HAVERFORDWEST TOWN COUNCIL. An adjourned meeting of the council was held at the coun- cil chamber on Wednesday last. The f:J1!ow ing- 111 em h'rs were present:—Messrs. G. Parry (mayor), \V. R -es, J. LL Morgan. J. Griffiths, IV. Owen (aldermen), O. E. Davies, W. Walters, T. Rowlands, J. Llewliellin, W. Reynolds, J. Be vans, J. F. Robbin, J. Owen, and J. Phillips. WEIGHING MACHINE. The mayor reported that the committee appointed at the hst meeting had employed a person to erect a suitable build- ing for the machine, which would be fixed in a month; and had also made out a scale of for weighing, based upon those payable at Carmarthen, Ten by, ana Swansea, but being rather lower in several instances. The proposed scale was then revised and adopted, and of which the following is a copy — « A S. ll. i.

The salary of David Hughes, the weigher, was fixed at 8s. per week he is to find surety for the sum of X20 to the satisfaction of the mayor, for the due performance of his duties. The mayor read a letter from Mr. Adam Murrav, request- ing payment of his bill of ,£2.5, for valuing the bouses in Castle-square, sold to the improvement committee, which was ordered to be paid, NEW CORN-MARKET HOUSE. The mayor read the following report of the committee ap- pointed at the last meeting to select the best site for the erec- tion of a new corn-market house: i Your committee, appointed at your last meeting, having met this day for the purpose of considering and reporting on the question submitted to them, relating principally to the selection of a sue whereon to erect a new corn-market house, and having given their best consideration to the sub- ject. beg to report that-- "Thinking, as they unanimously do, that it is desirable that corn should be sold, not from the carts themselves, hut that the carts should be unloaded, and the corn be carried into a covered market-place, and then offered for sale that the ground contained in the plan produced to your committee, and which was shewn at your last meeting, is the most eligi- ble site for the purpose, and that they think it would contain all the corn that is row brought to market for sale, provided a loft above were made, where also corn could be sold. Dated, 1st March, 1847. Signed on behalf of the committee, (Y. Farrv, mayor." The site referred to in the above report, is that occupied by the present market house, Including the almshouses and gar- den contiguous thereto, claimed by the trustees of Tasker's charity. Mr. Alderman Owen said, as one of the committee, he begged to make a few observations. Before he asked them to agree to the report, perhaps it would be well to state the reasons which induced the committee to make it. After much consideration the committee agreed that it would be much more convenient to both buyers and sellers, for the carts to discharge in the market than to sell out of the carts. The site of the existing market house is sixty feet in length hy eighteen feet in width, which could contain -only about one- third of the quantity for sale, so that the residue was exposed in the street in carts. The area of the site recommended 1)}' the committee would afford six or seven times the space of the present market house, and give accommodation for 2,800 Winchesters, so that on ordinary market days there would be ample room. The committee also thought it would be advis- able to have a floor over the new market house for the sale of commodities, which might crowd the other market. The only difficulty in carrying out this scheme was the means of procuring possession of the almshouses, which formed part of the site. At the last meeting the town clerk read a letter from Mr. Bnrder, who gave it as his opinion that the trustees had no title to the property. But to settle the question, no doubt an arrangement cotild be made with the trustees. He then more l the adoption of the report, which was seconded by Mr. Robbin. Mr. Rees did ret agree with that part of the report which recommended that the corn be taken out of the carts. There would be considerable less labor to the seller if the carts were brought into the market, which would also be more convenient to purchasers. Mr. Walters observed that it would not be practicable to obtain sufficient room for one-tenth of the carts to be under cover. Mr. Rees thought otherwise, and said Bites might be ob- tained so that carts might go in at one entrance and out at another, sheds being erected for their reception at each side of the avenue. Mr. O. E. Davies said he agreed to the site proposed for want of a better one. He wished to have sufficient area for the reception of carts under cover. Mr. Rowlands moved that the matter stand over until some definite arrangement be made with the trustees of Tas- ker's charity because it would be useless forming schemes which could not bo carried out—if the property required to do so could not be obtained. He did not make the amend- ment with the iiiient.-on of frustrating the object, because he should he glad to see it proceeded with immediately. Mr. Rees said he was opposed to laving out some thousands of pounds on the present site, as it could not be large enough; and suggested that overtures be_made for the purchase of the late Aaron Rces's house, and Dr. Phillips's premises adjoin- ing, so as to enlarge the proposed site. lie seconded Mr. Rowlands's proposition. Most of the members expressed their concurrence in Mr. Kees's views, as to the expediency of obtaining the enlarged ■ike, but thought it could not be obtained. After some further observations from Mr. Owen, urging that no fiirLher deiay should take place, the propositions were put tu the vote, and the original was carried by a niaio- rityoftwo. 11 r. Rowlands moved that the /j 1,200 appropriated for the purpose of electing the new market should be made produc- tive, by investing it in exchequer bills. After some discussion on the subject, it was considered advisable, as the money would be soon required, not to med- dle with it in the mean time, especially as laying it oat in exchequer bills, or investing it in the funds, would not be free from risk. Mr. Rowlands moved that Mr. Jardine be appointed sur- veyor to the corporation, to superintend all repairs to be done to the corporate property, at a salary of ,£10 per annum. Mr. Rees seconded the motion. M; J. Phillips moved that Mr. James Lloyrl be appointed staff-carpenter to the corporation and tha different chrnitv trustees, as proposed by the trustees of Pcrroit's charity, at n salary of 15s*. per week, to be divided between the estates of '.he respective e.s>pl«ytra in ;,roï.orÙH¡) to tie work te le done for them. .Mr. Walters coo'le.i the mouon.

A discussion l1rOS,1', to the 1i:lhiEt". of the council to tho payment of a bill of £ ,12s. 6d. sent in by the magistrates' clerk of Haverfordwest, for fees in casps where information bad been laid by the sereeant of police against persons no! having their nnmrsp:\Í;¡ted on thpir carts. The mayor s'ated that be had given a general order to the sergeant police to by information against all persons who did not comply with tne stutute. Some of the persons in- formed against bad their names on their carts, but in wtong cnkro: and the Rev. Thomas Martin, who heard the cases with himself said, tint the spirit of the act had heen complied with, although not the letter, and the police-constables ou ght to have warned the parties of the fact before they made the complaint. Tb« parties were convicted, but as the act gave thp- magistrates a discretionary power as to costs, 7\1 r. Martin refu«ed to grant the complainant his costs, e<;pecia11y as it was stated by the magistrates' clerk that under a recent, decision (Reg. v. Gloucester. 5 Q. B., 862) they would be chargeable 011 the horOI1¡(: fund. After referring to the case alluded to, several members thought that as the convictions did not tab. 1'1'1(,(, before two borough justices, the borough fund was not liable the bill, however, was ultimately ordered to be paid. It was ordered, that on an arrangement being entered into with Tasker's trustees, relative to the proposed exchange of property with them, that phans and specifications for the nro- posed new market house he advertised for. The meeting was adjourned to Friday next (this day), to meet the trustees on the subject. — FREKMKX'S TRUSTEES, FLAVSH>itOWEST.—On Monday last, a meeting was convened at the shire-hall, to elect nine freemen to serve as trustees for the property on Portfield, which was"some y»ars since adjudged to them.

T. Watts, vicar, in behalf of the d- stitute Irish and SC'11ch, when the sum of XI-t obtained. It will be in the recollection of our readers, that these sums collected are in addition to the subscriptions already raised. On Monday last a meeting was held at the Shire hall, in this town, for the purpose of appointing auditors and asr.es- sors for the borough, for the ensuing year. Mr. William Phillips and Mr. M. Bevan were appointed auditors; Mr. R. B. Pratt and Mr. J. Potter, assessors. INQUEST.—An inquest was held at the New Inn, in the parish of St. Thomas, in this town, on the body of Margaret Uwen, an elderly woman, who, on Friday Jast, in company with another person, was crossing the street leading from the top of Shut-street to Rother-lane, was sir. posed to be knocked down by a cart. On the production of evidence, however, h"f(lre the coroner, it appeared that the deceased had al ways of late years been subject to fits, and have very often been seen ta fail down. The evidence of the person, Hannah Har- ries, who was in company with the deceased, proved that on Friday last she and the deceased were together in the road, when a cart came by at a middling trot as the cart passed, she saw the deceased falling on the ground she helped her to her sitting, but. found her insensible she then sent for further assistance, and she was conveyed to her house, after which she uttered a few words, but never afterwards spoke until her death, which occurred on Tuesday m0f¡¡ing about nine o'clock. A great many witnesses wore, examined, hut nothing material was. proved to invalidate the former evi- dence. Mr. Brown, purgeon, stated that he was called in to see the deceased he found her in a state of insensibility there was a bruise on her right hip-jcint, which might have been caused by a fall, without anything striking her he considered the fright might have caused the symptoms which occasioned death. Verdict—" Died by the visitation of God." ACCIDENTS.On Friday evening last, as a poor woman was returning from the coal pits at Nolton, near this town, with a quantity ofioose gunpowder in her she incau- tiously approached the fire, when it exploded and burnt the and her three children, who were standing by, in a dreadful manner. Mr. Brown, surgeon, was instantly sent for, who, on his arrival, applied the proper remedies, which greatly alleviated the sufferings of the poor people; it is hoped they will soon recover. This should be a serious warning to others who have powder in their possession.—On Thursday evening Mrs. Carter, the Towtv-hall-keeper, fell from the top to the bottom of the steps leading to St. Marc's churchyard from Tower-hiil, and was taken home in a chair, in a sense- less state. Mr. Brown, surgeon, was in immediate atten- dance, and found she had greatly injured her hip bone and one of her anns. She may, however, ultimately recover, not- withstanding her advanced age. FRAMPTON'S PilT, OF HEALTH—fir bilious or sick head- ache, indigestion, and for the whole train of symptoms arising from a weak stomach, or vitiated bilious secretion, are pre- eminently successful. For costiver.ess, either habitual or temporary, they are admirable, and for elderly persons will can taken.

MILFORD.—A very handsome little vessel, named the Albatross, of about 50 tons burthen, was on Tuesday even- ing, launched from the building yard of Mr. John Ilogan, of this place. She. is considered by competent judges to be the handsomest model'd craft that has been built at this part for many years. She is owned by Mr. S. Williams, merchant, St. Davids, and is intended for the Bristol trade. THE Two COMMITTEES—Time has been, when two educational committees, in a small town like Milford, would have been considered as great an anomaly as two suns but circumstances have proved that there is plenty of work for both. Instead of but one school for the public there are now to be two, and the prospects are equally flattering for both. The ground for each is already taken at either end of the town, and operations are busily proceeding, so that there is no doubt of both being completed in the course of the summer. PEMBROKE, FEU. 24, 1847.—JUBILEE OP THE SURREN- DEll OF THE FRENCH TROOPS AT FISHGUARD.—This event- ful circumstance has not been celebrated with so much edit for many years. The first and third troops of the 'Castle- martin Yeomanry Cavalry met at Pembroke, and repaired to the exercising ground in full marching order, where they went through the different manoeuvres with their accustomed precision. This being the fiftieth anniversary, the officers very kindly entertained the old veterans residing in the vici- nity of Pembroke (who volunteered their services at the time,) with a sumptuous dinner. They were twelve in number, averaging seventy-eight years of age, and marched thrruigh the town in such good order—really the old fellows appeared to be exhilarated with the same chivalrous spirit which, no deubi they fe!t fifty years ago when they made a foreign foe surrender. Their app-nrance and cleanliness were much ad- mired. About four o'clock, Major Bowling, with the officers, accompanied by the mayor and several gentlemen and trades- men of Pembroke and Pembroke-dock, proceeded to dinner, at the Dragon Hotel, where they were entertained by the host and hostess in their usual excellent manner. After the cloth had been removed, and the usual loyal and patriotic toasts being given, the following were proposed and responded i to with great enthusiasm — Ear! of Cawdor Lord Endyn Dowager Lady Cawdor Lord Auckland and the navy Duke of Wellington and the army the ladies Major Bowling Capt. S. P. Allen, and Mrs. Allen, of Capt. Henry Lpach, of Corston I<,rd-lieutenant of the connty mayor of Pembroke—Morgan Davies, Esq. mayor of Haverfordwest —G. Parry, Esq. town and trade of Pem- broke Lieut.-Col. i'iicher, R.M. Capt. G. T. Falcon, superintendent other Majesty's dock-yard, Pembroke-dock G. Loft Phillips, E:q. Col. Owen, vice-lieutenant of the county Qutricrrrr.tc-r John bergeant-major Ree& speed the plough Capt. Mansel Cap,. Leach. The harmony of the evening was Kept up with great spirit. The chair was filled very ably by Major Bowling, whose humorous wit kept the party in excellent spirits ;_and Capt. Leach, of Cors- ton, acted as vice. The livciy strains of the yeomanry hand, in responding to the different toasts, had a very good effect: they played several pieces admirably well, and with great taste too much praise cannot be bestowed on the conductor. The singing during the evening was particularly good. Time wore on in spite of all the enjoyments, and, as the major-, observed when he rose to dep;trt,"the best of friends, must part he was very sorry to leave so convivial a party nothing did him greater pleasure than being among th Castlemartin Yeomanry, whiie he commanded such a jolly set of fellows. The gallant major, after making an excellent speech, retired amid deafening cheers. Capt. Mangel was then voted to the chair. Cant. Turner, Lieut. C. W. Smith, and thirty non-coai- mie&ioned officers and men, of the royal artillery, have em- barked at Woolwich, for Pembroke, with the guns for the fortification at that place. Second Capt. Lyle, 3.1-:d L,enc. Co'omb, are to proceed to the same fortress next mouth, EXTKAOKOINAHY CIRCUMSTANCE.— A short.time since, a very fine ox the property of Air.

When the skin was takeo off, an im- mense live adder was icund coiled up between the flesh and the skin en the back, and when removed it immediate'}* d:ed, REMARKABLE CIRCUMSTANCE.—A fine ewe, the property of Henry Leach Esq., fit Corson House, near Pembroke* brought forth a lamb, Inst week, with five legs, Thyjtfaufc is perfectly sound and healthy, both are doing weH.
