KXl'MVTTS FR T-! T.v"rT:?WP.l TEX IN AUSTRALIA. "In the steamer, we are now making monthly voyasres f > and from Port Phillip, Sydney, Twofold Hav, and I/iuncf- ton in Van Dieman's Land, a round of some 1,600 miles. and are at all times crammed to excess with both cargo and passen- gers the latter, especially those from V an Dieman's Lan\ being very select and AttoJittplished indeed. In a future letter 1 must try to describe them to you. "The colonies ate, at present, in a perfect fever of excite- ment, owing to the Home government's having intimated to the Governor of Australia their intention to resume transpor- tation to Sydney. "I ;mist tp11 you that Australia is divided into three distinct colonies; viz., the island of Van Dieman's Land, Sonth Ans trails, and New South Wafea; of which New South Wales is tl.e largest and by far the most important, being the seat of gd«wnnient, having Sydney for its capital, and one of the flr.est harbours in the world. Van Dieman's L >nd has al- vays been a penal colony—New South Wales, also, was one Jt first; but several years ago, that colony, in consequence ot so many free emigrants going thither, petitioned the Homo Government, praying that no more prisoners shon'd be sent there, to contaminate and pollute their beautiful land, and corrupt the morals of the free settlers. Since then transporta- tion has been confined solely to Van Dieman's Land, with the exception of a few cargoes of exiles and better class pri- soners who, from time to time, have been sent to Port Phillip. Transportation to New South Wales being, thus. almost en- tirely stopped, the colony very rapidly began to purge itself of its felon population and things to improve. Time has rolled on—convicts' periods ot sentence have expired—others have died, until a few only remain. The old, and deadly hatred, that existed between the convicts and the free emigrants, was healing up, and the colony was almost free, when out comes an order in council from Home, informing the unhappy colo- nists that all their work and gratulatioiis were in vain, as Imperial Britain was again going to send them her convicted felons, aad taint their society with an annual, and inestima- ble lot of some 3,500 prisoners. Government can have no idea of the dreadhd state of alarm and indignation all the pettple out here are In about it, for the Home Government's having given an official prumi»e that no more convicts should be sent hither, has induced tunny highly respectable families, ir emigrating, to seiect this colony, who certainly would not 'mve come tl) it, had they the remotest anticipation that Go- vernment would resume transportation. Public meetings are held abettt it almost every day the walls of the city of Syd- n y are completely covered with placards, variously headed— 'No Transportation;' 'No Pollution,' &c., &c.: every day deputations wait upon the unforturnate Governor, who must be well nigh werked to death, if he reads even half the peti- tinns that incessantly pour in upon him from all parts of the colony, praying him to repressin tbe strongest terms, the reluctance of the colonists to receive prisoners, under any re- gulations whatever. At some of the public meetings the most seflitiows language is used they threaten to take for a prece- dent the illustrious Y ulkee exploit of scattering the Tea in Boston harbour, by passing resolutions to go down in a body to the wharfs upon the arrival ot the first convict ship, and, by force, to prevent the convicts from landing. The thing is *ijy no means impossible to do; but all loyal men feel (wisely too) that submission to the orders from Home is by far the best policy: rC1!istllnce would ouly provoke detennination and punishment. You would really be surprised to witness the excitement ail this has caused. The colonists say that, instead of 'send- ing the nnvicts llere, the Government should send them away to the other parts of Australia, where there are no settlements, ant there, under proper military supervision, havtithemem- ployed in bringing into cultivation a portion of the mIllIOns of acres of this cotwtiy, and thus acting as pioneers to future and mce extended colonization and improvement. livery man's pedigree gets searched into out herd, and proving his character, is as trying an ordeal as getting an entrke to Almacks. The grand question—the touchstone— is. Did Y°lt make your advent as a free man or as a convict? Were either of your parents convicts ? Has any of your fa- nllly intermarried into a convict family, or the descendants of convicts?' All these little agreeable items and distinctions must be plainly and clearly made out before yun can enter into society, or axsociate, however slightly, with the little knot of wel'-breds who make up the 'haut noblesse'' of the colony, and with the other grades of the free society. Until you can prove yourself of different feather from the jail birds, you find yourself in the very agreeable position eitner of being taken for a convict, or, at least, of being suspected as one or, what IS here the more polite tnrn, 'A Govpmment man.' Captain G 's kindness in introducing me has saved me all the de- lightful sensations of being plac-.nl thus, so my path has beeu t'3'r. When 1 look at the coast, as we steam up and down, a distance of/jliO miles, I am forcibly struck with the reflection, that all the vast region before me, with the excpptkm of II small section about Twofold Bay, is lying uncultivated and almost uninhabited, awaitipg -the energetic and b, autilying hand of wmi to raise it to its true end—the glorious home of millions otrationa) beings. There it rests, far extending and magni- ficent—not mere 'Antres vast and deserts idle,' but in lovely land cape of spacious and luxuriant valleys, and gre n sloping hIlls. Yes there, in unredeemed grandeur, thrown out by the prodigal hand of Nature, vivified by a generous climate, wnd basking under a blessed sun that rolls through the clear, .cerulean blue of an Italian sky; it almost seems to cry aloud to 1he eager and distressed poor at home, 'Come, cultivate us from our bounteous bosom may you draw all your cruel and remorseless physical wants require. Follow out then the wise designs of Providence, and be happy.' Emigration appears now to be all the rage at home, if I may j'ldge from the English papers. I am glad that the crowded population of England begin, really, to see the quick- est and most efficient remedy for their distress, and have set to work in earnest at wholesale emigration. Let them come on in hundreds of thousands; aye, in millions, if they can. Millions-of acres on which none but the foot of the Savage has yet trodden, here lie wide outspread before them, requir- ing only slight and easy cnltivation to change them into smiling gardens of fertility, whose abundance in turn would transform the hungry labourer and starving discontented arti- zans or the mother-country into happy, well-fed colonists. Let them come to spread the language and religion of their own country over the vast tracts of Australia, thus aiding, under God, to maintain Great Britain—in this how truly great—in her signal position as the Judea of the modern world, diffusing the divine light of Christianity and striving to work out the restoration of fallen and teeble man.

DEATH FROM SUFFOCATION.—A distressing occurrence took place in Glasgow on the morning of the 21th ult., hy --which the life of one person was lost, and that of another is. still despaired of. The locality in which the catastrophe took place was in a house in Grove-street, New Citv-road. The house, not having been previously occupied, was very damp, being but newly plastered, and in order to dry it a fire had been put in the room. Two young lads lodged in it, and at the time they retired to rest at about midnight the fire was kept on. The landlord rose early on the following morning in order to go to his work, but before leaving went in for the purpose of wakening his lodgers. When he opened the door of the room the first thing that struck his attention was that a favourite lark whieh hung up in a cage lay dead at the bottom. He hastened to waken and inform the young men of this, but to his surprise and horror, he found that the lad nearest the wall Jay cold and dead. The other he tumid alive, insensible. Medical aid was with all speed procured, bat for one of them, alas it was too late,— Gltsgoicpaper. CONDITIO V OF THE INDUSTRIAL POOR.—The Mum in g Chronicle has instituted a searching and comprehensive in- quiry into the moral, intellectual, malarial, and physical condition of the industrial poor, throughout England and proposes to give the results of its inquest in a series of com- jnuniiations, which will equal, perhaps surpass, official or .'Parliamentary reports in impartiality, authenticity, and com- prehensiveuestu" The duty of preparing these reports has been confided to a chosen body of practised writers and tinkers, admiralty qualified, by prior knowledge and habits of observation, for their task, who will pursue the investiga- tion on the spot." The Chronicle promises that the metro- .polis and the provinces, the town and the country, the manu- facturing. commercial, maritime, mining, and agricultural po- pulation, will be equally included in the fllan; OJ and "wherever an estate, establishment, or IfIstitution shall be thought to present any marked feature of good or bad manage- ment the public shall benefit hy the example to the full."

There, ladies and gentlemen, is the wonder hoy constructor, so called because he constructs many pleasing images with his serpentile form. The constructor is a long animal as you will perceive, and is very long-lived, llj lives a hundred years or more, if he don't die before- hand. lie is of the wormy species, and worms himself alorg the gnund without leg! He is capable of climbing the highest trees, in which he is found concealing himself in the branches whereof, that he may impose upon the benighted traveller or other beasts, whereby to assatiate his hunger, lie inashes his viciuala before he eats 'em, and th -n swallows Vm head first. The sea serpent is much larger, yet I think the boy constructor would lick him: tor he is full ot pluck. Prick him John, and make him hiss. When he hisses he is very angry, and cares very little what becomes of him. This is because he is weak minded, and has a small head. He has, however, a very large belly, and when it is full he is good natured. He has a lovely skin, but is very ugly tempered. H", is very sulky and lazy, and he is so spiteful it's a mercy he can't talk. 1 have taken care of this mighty snake for three years, but he shows no gratitude. He is a glutton, and likes to stuff himself, and then go to sleep. If John don't stir him, (stir him again John !) he would never wake iip except to his victuals. I don't know I ought to blame him though because nature is nature, whether in Boston or the rrude'valleys of Bengal. I have an uncle who has lived in ;B»ngal, and a brother who has never been there. My uncle talis me he has seen ten thousand boy constructors at one time, a frolicking in the forest and eating each other up. My broth. r does .Jot believe it, hat then he had not seen it. My uncle may be depended upon. He was a missionary once, .and sold rum and sugar to the Injuns. He was the only man in the world who ever sold liquor to the boy constructor. This is the one he gave it to He first got it tight, and then boxed iiim up. The boy will never forgive him. INDIAN MODE OF DISCOVERING A BODY IN THE WATER. —I had two parties out dragging all next day about the spot where Lavery waa last seen, but without success; on the second day the trapper, MacConnell. went down and watched tb.e proceedings, and he said "try the Indian plan, float a chip of cedar down the stream, watch where it turns round,! and drag there." It was done; the chip floated down for some distance, then stopped, and then turned two or three times. One of the men looking over the side of one of the boats tried in some alarm, "j see him!" The great body, appearing larger than life, in twelve feet of water, lay imme- diately under the cedar chip. It was speedily dragged to the surface. The Indians imagine that a particular vapour rising from a drowned body occasions the chip to circle over It, hut it is more likely to be occasioned by the body at the bottom ot the stream producing an eddj on the surface. W hatever is the cause, the fact is singular. Alexander's British America. DRXADVUL SHIPWRECK — LOSS OF ONE HUNDRED AND FORTY-FIVE LIVES.—We regret to find, from the American popers receive) by the America, that another most calamitous shipwreck has occurred on the American coast, which seems to have involved the sacrifice of upwards of 140 lives. The passengers were emigrants, and composed chiefly of women and children. The following particulars are taken from the Boston Journal of October 8:—The British brIg Smnt John, Captain Oliver, from Galway, Ireland, anchored inside Minot's nidge, about six o'clock a.m.. on Sunday, dragged Mchor, and struck on the Grampus Rocksabaut nine a.m. Tbe captain, officers, and crew (with the exception of the first trade), took to the boat and landed safe at the Glades. The passengers who were saved got on pieces of wreck, a id landed n"1\r Whitehead, north end of Cnhasset Harbour. 1 he number of passengers on board was about 164, out of which about one hundred and forty-five are supposed to have been lost. There were f,")t)fte.ft cabin passengers, mostly women and children. Another account states that the cap- tain took to the jolty-boat, and was saved with ten others.

THK remarkable trial which has just come to a conclusion in the case of the Mannings, the perpetra- tors of the Bermondsey murder, presents some points of great interest and importance. It is another signal instance of the difficulty -the almost impossibility— which now exists as to the concealment of a crime of this description. The eagle-eyed pursuers of the criminal appear to be gifted with an almost supernatural power of ferreting out the murderer from whatever spot he may have imagined himself to he in a position to baffle pur- suit. The discovery of the body of O'Connor was itself a specimen of what sagacious and keen research can accomplish. A slight and scarcely perceptible dissimilarity in the cement of the flagstones in Man- ning's kitchen gave the hint as to what was under- neath. But for this, no one might have known to the present day what was become of the missing indi- vidual or had the removal of the stones taken place a few days later, the identity of the body might have lateen rendered so difficult as to rob justice of its claims, though the public would have found it easy to decide the question. A murder being thus dis- covered, the next thing was to track the supposed culprits. How speedily and effectually this was done. need not be related. Mrs. Manning, under her new cognomen of Smith, in her comfortable lodg- ings in the Scotch metropolis, and in all the easy cir- cumstances which plenty of cash and abundance of scrip could supply, was soon waited on by a gentle- man whose visits she would rather have declined. Manning, though not so easily scented by the blood- hounds of the law, was tracked to his lair with the same unerring aim. The chances, in fact, of a mur- derer in the present day eluding justice, are so infi- nitely small, that nothing hut the most besotted stupidity can account for the daring which can accomplish a cool and deliberate homicide. The admirable character of the English trial by jury is strikingly manifested in this rase. Had the practice been followed which some governments would have deemed sufficiently pure, that of instantly executing the two parties, no one could suppose that any risk had been incurred in sacrificing innocent beings. But the noon-day clearness of the evidence which pointed out the Mannings as the perpetrators of this deed could not prevent the culprits from having the benefit (if such it may be called) of the best counsel that could be procured. The counsel, indeed, were in awkwaid predicament. They had to prove that black was white, that round was square. and that the plainest guilt was consistent with inno- cence. Yet it was too great a stretch for their powers of imagination to go upon the hypothesis of the mur- der having been committed by neither husband nor wife. One of them was guilty but which ? It could not be the husband, said Manning's counsel, and therefore Mrs. Manning was the criminal exp t- tiating at the same time upon various circumstances which pointed out the latter as a person every way capable of such a deed. But it could not be the wife, said Mrs. Manning's counsel leaving it to the intelligence of the jury to find out who, in that case, it really must be. Both gentlemen felt that they had neither of them a peg on which to hang the poorest resemblance of a defence, and that all their clients could expect of them was to exhibit the best speci- men of that peculiar art which can gloss over the plainest truths by the most transparent sophistry. All the advantages, however, which the utmost forms of law could give the murderers, they had and it was,not until every title of evidence had been adduced and tested, that the jury pronounced the prisoners at the bar to -be guilty of the murder of Patrick O'Connor. The extent to which consummate depravity may put on the outward appearance of guilelessness and honesty, has scarcely ever found a parallel to the case of Mrs. Manning. A deed of such a character that its commission, under all the circumstances, conlct not but argue a mind abandoned to the last degree of un- reflecting wickedness, would not have been charged upon Maria Manning had not the evidence been too strong to he repelled by even her ladylike and gentle demeanour. Her policy was to stagger conviction it- self, by her meekness, and courtesy, and confident expectation of a certain acquittal and by aping, to the very life, that outward serenity by which con- scious innocence maintains its dignity, in the midst; of what appeared to be so numerous and appalling testimonies to her guilt. From the hour of her arrest in Edinburgh to the termination of the trial, no ex- pression escaped herindicative of fearful apprehension, or of villany disappointed in its dark purposes. But when all this mildness and gentleness had no longer an object in view—^when the counsel and jury had finished their proceedings, and nothing remained but the pri- son and the gillows-then the lady exhibited herself in her true co!ours. fivery fierce and malignant pas- sion started up in a moment, and that voice which execrated the court and counsel, and consigned to damnation the officers of justice, revealed at once the murderess in her own character. No one could doubt that the woman whom they saw and heard when led away from the dock to the prison, was quite equal to the work for which the public bad, with one voice, condemned her. She told the court that she regretted that she was not sufficiently master of the English language to express herself as she wished to do; bat from the specimens of plain English with which she favoured those around her, one is rather at a loss to imagine what kind of eloquence she would have indulged in had her acquaintance with the lan- guage been less imperfect. In the last place we cannot but condole with Mr. Ewart and the old women whom he has the honour of representing, that two such illustrious subjects for philanthiopical experiment are again to he put by our barbarous statutes out of their reach. What fine sub- jects would Rush and the Mannings have made for the anti-hanging system. That system may possiblj become the law of the land, but it is almost too much to expect that three such heroes will, for a long time, appear to give it grace and lustre. The ordinary race of murderers are poor and vulgar people com- pared with these celebrrted dealers in blood and the potent effects of solitary confinement will lose one half their splendour from the comparatively low scale of depravity with which they will come into contact.

THE ANNUAL KI.KCTION OP TOWN-COUNCII.LOKS for the Dorough of Haverfordwest took place at the TOwrthall yes- terday, when the following gentlemen were returned :— Mr. John Green 2('7 Mr. John Phillips 191 Mr. Walter Reynolds I CI Air. George Parry l'!2 As usual, upon these occasions, the Mayor, Jaaies Uwen, Esq., presided, assisted by the asessors, Mr. Gwyune Harries and Mr. George Palmer, and the Town-clerk, James Sum- mers, Ksq. Af the close of the poll, the four gentlemen elected severally returned thanks. The election of Mayor, Sheriff, &c., will taite place an the 9th inst., at the Council Chamber. ACCIDENT.—On Saturday last, as a carriage was passing through Bridge-street, in this town, the horses struck against Mrs. Edmunds, of Saint Martin's, an elderly person, on her way from market, and knocked her down. The first wheel passed over her body, hut the driver succeeded in stopping the horses, and she lay between the fore and after wheels till assistance carne and rescued her from her perilous situation. She was, fortunately, not much injured. We hope this will be a warning to persons driving at a quick pace through towns, and that the police and other authorities will use every en- deavour to restrain a practice so often attended with fatal consequences. ACCIDKNT.—On Saturday last a cart passed over a child of Mr. William Reynolds, nearly opposite his father's house, in Hill-street. The cart was loaded with corn at the time. The eti ild sustained severe injury, several of his ribs being broken, lie is now in a fair way of recovery. POUTKIKLD.— At the meeting for the election of Councillors, held vesterday in the Townhall, attention was drawn to the present useless state of the race course and the area thereof. In the evening, at a meeting of the Freemen's Trustees, the subject was resumed, when it was resolved that the Trustees should memorialise the Town Council to assist in carrying out the desirable object of inclosing and cultivating that part of the a ea of the race course lying to the north of the Dale road, and of having powers granted to let for shw-p grazing only that part devoted to the amusements of the town. 11 R NOKKD oF KOO.SE.—At a Petty Sessions held at the Shire-hall, liavertoul west, on the 27th ult., before James Higgon and John Linyd Morgan, Esquires, Thomts Llewlutl- lin v.

By Mr. Parry: I wrote the items in the book on the 3rd ot December, 1843. The bill delivered was for goods. I copied it from the state on which my mother had entered it. I cannot tell what the goods were. I have been to school. I "saw the goods delivered when I came home from school. My mother told me she received 4s. 6d. and 3s. 6d. 1 made no entries on the slate. I never saw the defendant on the subject of my father's claim. Mr. Parry contended that the entry on the bill of particulars of Bill dehvered" would not do,—every article should he enumerated.

Mr. Parry The first article entered, your honour, is a bill delivered." I contend we ought to have the particulars of the articles delivered. Mr. Lanning: I can shew specific evidence. Judge: That will not do, I can- not go on with the case without a proper bill of particulars.

William Greenish v. J 1m Furlong, balance of a bill. Mr Lanning appeared for the plaintiff, Mr. Parry for the de feud ant. Robert Lanning: I am an attorney in the town of Pem- broke. I saw John Furlong the defendant, sign the note now produced. He has paid £1 los. on account. Sarah Morgan I am the defendant's sister, and reside at the East End, Pembroke. He told me he owed money to Mr. Greenish. He gave me two half-sovereigns to take to Mr. Lanning's office, on the 9th October, 1847, to pay on ac- count of the hill. I accordingly went to Mr. Lanning's office. I saw Mr. Barnikel there, Mr. Lanning's clerk. I said. I am come with a pound from John Furiong, to pay to Mr. Greenish of Cleggers,—he said What is it for?" I did not answer him. Mr. Husband of the Clarence Inn, Pembroke- dock, was present, who said it was concerning some malt that John Furlong had of Mr. Greenish. William Barnikel took the money out of my hand. I asked him if he would please to give me a receipt. He said he could not give me a receipt, but that Mr. Husband was quite respoiuible for the money I gave him I turned round to Mr. Husband and said to him, will you he kind enough to go to my brother and tell him I paid the money. By Mr Lanning: I brought the raonpy on the 9th October, Hj*7- I had great reason for know- ing the date so well, as I thought I had fallen into rogues hands. W illiam Barnikel I mean. I gave the money to Mr. Barnikel m your office I do not know Mr. Husband is here. Mr. Barnikel did not Icok at a book—he said "for who," and I told him over and over again. He did not tell me to take it to Mr. Lock. John Furlong: I am the defendant in this caution. I re- side at Pembroke-dock. I was formerly an lnukeeper there. I gave a note to Mr. Greenish, formalt. I have paid £2 j js" on account. I sent in 15s., and £ 1 by my daughter, and on a Saturday after my sale took place two years ag0) I sent in by my sister, two half-sovereigns. I did not owe Mr. Green- ish any mone\ except the bill for malt. Atr. Husband is not here, he is very ill. I saw him this morning at nine o'clock he was in bed afflicted with the gout. By Mr. Lanning I paid nothing myself. I s-ent 15s. and a sovereign by my daughter, and two halt-sovereigns by my sister, to pay on account of the bill. William Barnikel: I reside at Pembroke, and was clerk to Mr. Lanning in October, 1817. J recollect Sarah Morgan coming to the office to pay some money. She said she had a sovereign to pay towards her brothers debt, to Mr. Greenish. I referred at once to the action book, and found there was no Ciuse mentioned. She put down a sovereign, j told her tf¡ t ihe must make a mistake, as Mr. Lock does a great deal ■ f i business for Mr. Greenish. She took up the money and went awctY. I have seen her since, and told her she had not jaid the money. I am quite positive she did not p;iy utt:- iad I received it I should have entered it in III)" account. Judge: It is hard to say to whom we are to rely. Let the i idginent go for the p'aintiff, and II. a new trial i» applied for, [ 8h ,11, in all probability, grant it the parties seem res- )i3Ctable, and they way think they are right.

T^awveitce Roie- lan<s, executor of George Rowlands, deceased, specific legacy Mr. Lock appeared for plaintiff, and Mr. Lloyd for defendant. Air. Doyd The defendant is not fully indebted no effects and denies being an executor. I also take an objec- tion to the summons, provided the case is made out. It is not a specific legacy. Rev. Thomas Owen I reside in Pembroke. I am treasu- rer ot the Pembroke Savings Bank. George Rowlands was a contributor there to a large a.nount. Oil the 30th of J!ia 1848 therl' was £140 6s. Oil his account. On the 2"th u' I was withdrawn, and on the 21st January, 11 f ^124 14s. was withdrawn bv the executor, the defendant. The piobate was produced'. Mr. Lloyd the entries were made in any presence. WiUinm Barnikel, Pembroke: lam Secretary to the Old Union Benefit Society. George Rowlands was a member in that society. He died in the year 1848. As a member of that club, his representatives were entitled to £11 IOs. The money was sent in July to his executor Lawrence Rowlands. 1fr. Lluyd: I know nothing about hiVsrepresentative. I know that the defendant was the executor, because 1 made the will. Mr. Lock here wished the probate to be produced. Air. L oyd YY e say that we are not bound to produce the probate, but we leave it entirely in your Honour's hands. Kobert Lock I am a solicitor in the town of Pembroke. I produce a copy of the will of the late George Rowlands, whtc.) 1 obtained from the Registrar of the Consistory Court at. rma. !eiV carefully examined it with the original will, and it is in every respect a true copy. The will was produced to me at the office, by the deputyLregistrar at the toot ot the copy there appears this entry, "22nd day of August, 1848, before the Rev. Charles Phillips, clerk, surro- gate, on the oath of Lawrence Rowlands, labourer, the natnral and lawful brother of the deceased, and the executor in the said will, to whom administration arant d effects, sum under i,,}00, and that testator died Kith July, 1840. (Signed) Valent lie Davies, Deputy registrar." I never saw the original will before it was in the handwriting of Barnikel, who altered it. I am certain it is not a forgery. I am not acquainted with the signature of the testator. Mr. Llord: I submit that this is not the best secondary evidence; as there is a will that must be secondary evidence. Judge: It is held that no degrees are necessary in secon- daryeodence. Mr. Lloyd Now Mr. Lock has produced a paper, but we hay" to notice that this is a genuine will. Judge; What; from the Registrar's Office? I think it qnite sufficient. Mr. Gibbon read that part of the will (put in by Mr. Lock) thiit bore on case. Mr. Lock I contend that this is a special legacy, not liable to abatement; the fund must be applied to this purpose and no other. Catherine Thomas I am the wife of William Thomas Oiie ( fthe plaintiffs in this action, and sister to thedetendaot. George Rowlands was my brother. I was at the sale of his household furniture; Mr. Thomas was the auctioneer. I cannot say who ordered the sale. I purchased articles to the amount ot £ 2 17s. fid. I required payment of the defendant of what was due from the sale to me. He said that as soon as Mr. Thomas received the sale-money, he would give me what he could. He has paid me £ t>. My brother told me that Thomas had made an objection to pay the money. Defen- dant, however, gave him orders to take my bill, and he took that on account. WWiam Thomas: I am one of the plaintiffs in this action, living in Pembroke, and husband to the last witness. The goo Is were sold by auction a' that sale my wife purchased to the amount of £2 17s. 6d. I met the detendantand asked him to take the sale-bill on account of the money left my wife, and take it off the sale-book. He said he would, but afterwards refused to do it this was about seven or eight mouths ago. Alter that I called at his house, when he first offered me £ 12, and then £ 15, but would not take it. He told me i sh mid be settled on Monday. He came to me on the evening of that day he was very abusive, and wantel to fight me. I did not see him afterwards. I never spoke to him about 1.1(' Lawrence Rowlands: lam the defendant in this action. I reside at the East End, Pembroke, and am a labourer in her Maj g:y's Dockyard. Catherine Thomas is my sister Geo ^e Rowlands was my brother. He died on the 26th ot .Ju.i",lli-P:. I ordered a sale of his effects, and they were sold y pub ic auc ion. At the sale my si»t. r purchased to the amount of £ H i7s. 6d.. and that sum is still owing. It is part of my iat,; brother's estate. She had not t'le money to pay, so I lent her the amount. By Mr. Lock: I have made a return to Government of £17 Os. 41. I received the Savings's Bank money, £ 31, from George Hughes, who lives with Canon Pltilipps. There was £41 in cash in the house at the time of my brother's death. part ¡n notes. 1 will not swear what notes they were. I will not say what notes were in the house. My wife and brother were in the lious-^ they had one each, which they said were .€) notes. By the Judge: I did not Jook whether they were £5 or .CtOnotes. By Air. Lock: I found £J 1.. I cannot say how much was in gold; there were about six sow reigns in gold. I do not want to know how many £10 notes were there. The furniture amounted to £;3B. I have received part of the money. My brother had seven houses one lets for jE4, four at £4 2s. 7d, one at £3 1:3" and one at £3 10s. per year. I have received these rents. I have expended most of the money it is impossible to settle with my brother and sister. I did not say I would not uive them anything. I will swear I did not tell you everything belonged to me. My brother has a large family, and my sister has a large family. I am a single man, and have no family. Judge: The only question is, how much has been paid ? The doubt is as to the household property. These rents were not expended, nor is it likely they will be. Lawrence Rowland recalled Each of my brother's relations took money out of the house, W m. Thomas had £ 7 4s.; my father died ten weeks before, my brother Wm. Thomas had £ (i and £ 2 17s. fid. the sale bill, no more as I know of. I think the things they had out of the house were worth £12. Wm. Thomas recalled The day my brother-in-law died it was supposed George Lloyd was the executor to the will each of the relatives present wanted to see what money was in the house. I refused to do so but to put some tape over the drawers and seal them up till the executor came. Down they all went to a room where there was a chest of drawers, which was opened, they m"t money in many places The defendant was present, he unlocked the drawers and took out the money. In a foot of a stocking were some bank notes what they were I do not know. The defendant took them out, he said they were £5 notes, and it was better for George LloyJ to have the handling of so much money, and as they were all brothers and sifters he thought it would be best to divide the money. I objected and said ihat George Lloyd ought to be present. Defendant said his biother Gpoge had authorised him to pay the £ 5 on his fathers will, to make like their sisters in Bath. I signed as havii g receive.) the £5 on the day my brother-in-law died. My wife was given some silver and some half-pence out of a basin they all had alike, but I do not know how much. The defendant came to me a few days afterwards and wanted to sign for £10 instead ot £5. as he said he had paid £lJ instead of £5, due from my father-in-law's will. The defendant then handed in a book containing his expenses as executor, which we are comielled to omit for want ot space. Judge: I cannot come to any other conclusion but that this £.5 was on account of the father-in-Ia w's estate. Judg- ment for the plaintiff's £20 and costs to be paid in a fortnight or an execution to issue.

PEMBROKE-DOCK. — In consequence of the destruction of the ricks of hay belonging to Major Bowling, a considerable increase of the business of the Fire-omce in this town-the Scottish Miner"-has taken place for not only have agri- culturists nocked to it, from its known integrity and liberality but many house-proprietors have taken advantage of its pro! tection. Its benefits both on life and against fire have, in several instances, already been proved the directors having on every occasion, met the demands made upon them without the slightest demur or hesitation. Of insurance societies ge uerully too much cannot be said ill their praise. They are frequently the means of providing resources for the widow and orphan, and. in cases of fire, the tradesman aad lease- jtr' w,len» without them, ruin would be the inevitable PEMBROKE FARMERS CI.UB. —At a quarterly meeting of this society, which is to take piaje on Saturday, the 3rd of November, an implement of husbandry will be given by the Club to be raffled for by the members actually present on the occasion. The incident affords a fund of considerable amount. After dinner, each, on the command of the President, eagerly opens his ticket, in search of the talismanic word "prize." THE WEATHER.—The weather at Pembroke, for the last fornight, has been exceedingly variable, though the mercury in the barometer has remained unusually high—30 2"10. Its having fallen, however, within the last twenty-tour hours more than an inch, wind and rain may be very safely prog- nosticated. ° HOUSE-WARMIXG.—Captain Morris, of the "Cambria" steamer, having become "mine host" of the Musical Hall Pembroke-Dock, gave an opening banquet on the 26th ult.' consisting of good old English fare. A numerous assemblage of the most respectable inhabitants of Pembroke-Dock, and places contiguous thereto, partook of the liberal repast. The chair was taken by Mr. M'Lean, and most ably was it filled by that gentleman. The duties of the vice were admirably performed by Mr. Painter. After the removal of the cloth the usual loyal and patriotic toasts were given, and responded to. The cheerfulness of the evening was very much enhanced in consequence of the company consisting of Freemasons, Odd-Fellows, Foresters, and others, who appeared to exert themselves in vieing with each other to promote harmony and good will, and they fully succeeded in their laudable endea- vours, so much so that the evening passed off with unbounded glee. The company reluctantly separated, individually de- lighted with the excellent cheer they had received, and ex. pressing themselves highly pleased with the attention they had been paid in every respect by the worthy host and hostess of the Musical Hall. DEATH FROM DROWNING.—A fatal accident occurred at Pembroke-dock, on Friday last. A seaman belonging to the schooner Maria, of Bidetord, named John Wood, went out on the jib-boom to furl some sails which had been loosened for drying, when he unfortunately fell from the spar into the water and was drowned. The vessel was at anchor and not far from the shore. The body did not float, but on its being brought up by creeping grapnels the vital spark was extinct. From some contusions on the body, it is supposed it must have struck the cable in falling and stunned the poor fellow He was a single man, about twenty years of age. and had been but a very short time at sea. He was a native of Bideford. A coroner's inquest was h- ld the following day and a verdict of accidentally drowned was recorded. RKVISION COURT.—This court was held on Tuesday the 23rd of October ult., at the Town-hall, Pembroke, before W. R. Groves, Esq. The overseers of the parishes of Stack- pole Elidor and Upton, did not appear, and the revising bar ri ter stated that unless they attend the Revision Comt at Kilgrrran, on Tuesday the 30th day of October, he should !| "ne them for their neglect, and the parishes through such neg-' act would be disfranchised. ffomis Por NT. -The premises at Hobbs Point, erected j, r the accommodation of the Mail Steam Packets, which used to ply between that place and Waterford, but which—from th( want of due interferance on the pal-t 01 the Welsh public- have unfortunately bi-en removed to other places, to the sad inconvenience of the surrounding districts, have lately been handed over to the coast-guard department, and are now occui.ted by Lieut.

THA-iKSGIVIN(; FOR TH« HArVEST.-Wednesday, the ^'ctobir was observed m the parish of Penally as a day of thanksgiving to Almighty God, for the blessing'of the late abundant harvest. Owing to the very unfavourable state ot the weather on that day, the attendance at Church was not so numerous as itf otherwise would have been, still there was a large congregation present, and many came from a great distance. Among the attendants at Church were Pr'"cll»al fanners and their labourers. The vicar (R v. John Hughes) took his text from the one hundredth Psalm • and after pointing out the gratitude due to God as the giver r 11 u',an(* a ffeneral review of manv recent causes "l tliaiiktnlness, he proceeded more immediately to impress nJr°n.i J ? Parishioners the special cause for thanksgiving afforded by the late abundant harvest, and concluded by ev- horting them not to allow the plenty and bodily comforts by which they were surrounded to steal away their hearts from higher objects, and render them callous and insensible to the richer blessings provided for their souls.

CARMARTHE.V PKTTY SKSSIOV.—On Friday last David Davies appeared before the Mayor, D. Davies, Esq H L uvrence, M.D., Capt. J. G. PhilIpps. W. Morris, and E. 'k-tirejj Ks<trs- t0 answer a charge of allowing the game of billiards to be played in his billiard room on the previous Sunday morning. P.C. Jones stated that in consequence of information he received, he went to the billiard room kept by the defendant about half-past 4 o'clock on the previous Sunday morning. He found the door locked he knocked with his stick, but was not admitted. He afterwards went into the yard of Mr. Evans's house which adjoins the yard of the billiard room. From a ladder placed against the house lie saw the shadow of two persons in the room. The blinds were down which prevented his recognizing the parties who were within. From their motions and the noise he thought they were playing. Mr. Evans who resided next door said he had been often annoyed by the noise which proceeded from the billiard room at night, but this was the first time he had made a complaint. 011 Sunday morning he com- plained to P.C. Jones, and took him into his yard where, by placing a ladder against the wall they could see the windows of the billiard room. He saw three persons in the room but could not identity them. About 7 o'clock the same morning he saw Mr. Davies's son and another person come out into the yard, and he spoke to them. Mr. Parry, who appeared for the defendant, said he did not see how their worships could convict in this case. No person felt more sorry than ii 1 1 s,l0"ld have occurred. The facts were that Mr. Davies was at the time very ill, and bad not been at the room for some time. The key was taken to Mr. yavies s house, which re at some dis ance from the billiard room about quarter past eleven on Saturday night, and put in Us usual ulace. After this Mr. Davies's son, without the Knowledge of his parents, took the key and went out. Not Deing returned when the house was closed for the night he was locked out, and then went with some of his companions to the billiard room, where they lit a fire, and remained till aLni0n.g\ T° c:orr,obornte this he called Mr. Davies's son said he took the key, but could give me no reason for so doing, and swore that no game was played after the room nad been closed at quarter past eleven.

HYMN.-BY LORD BROUGHAM. "There is a God," all Nature cries; A thousand tongues proclaim His arm almighty, mind all-wise. And bids each voice in chorus rise To magnify his name. Thy name, great Nature's Sire divine, Assidiotts we adore Rejecting godheads, at whose shrine Benighted nations blood and wine In vain libations pour. Yon countless worlds in boundless space, Myriads of miles each hour, Their mighty orbs as curious trace, As the blue circle studs the face Of that enameWd flower. But Thou, too, madest that floweret gay, To glitter in the dawn The hand that fired the lamp of day The blazing comet launch'd away, Painted the velvet lawn. As falls a parrow to the ground, Obedient to Thy will, By the same law these globes wheel round, Each drawing each, yet all still found In one eternal system bound, One order to fulfill.

The lawyers, preachers, and public orators of to-day might take a hint from Scarlett's account of his success with jurors: :-1 took care (said he) to press home the one principal point in the case, without paying much regard to the others.

Heritz Ben Pinchaq, a learned writer in the Jewish Chronicle, says: It requires not the gift of prophecy to fore- see that, in less than a century, France will behold a Jew seated in the presidential chair of the Republic we need not the skill of a soothsayer to foretel that, in tes9 than half a century, the United States of America will own a son of Abraham for their ruler and we need not look to the plan- ets for the assurance that, in less than a quarter of a century, the Lord Mayor of London will warship his maker at the altar of the synagogue." DEFEATING AN INDICTMENT. -Lord Chief Justice Wilmot gave to a party of us one evening a curious account ot an inn- keeper at Warwick who had been tried for having poisoned some of his customers with his portwiii,, aad that the in- dictment was quashed by the impudence of the fellow, who absolutely proved that there had never been a drop o! port wine in the hogshead ,Cf<t</M'&'s Memoirs.

A PIG'S THROAT TtN-PLATEn.—As Mr. James Empson, of Gloucester-street was cutting up a pig, On the 19th ult.. weighing seven stone and a half, he found a hard substance in the throat, which proved to be the top of a tin box, six inches in diameter, with the rim off, and the convex part as bright as silver. It appeared to have been no obstruction to the fattening of the pig. as it did remarkably, only it had a I peculiar manner of sucking down its food. The substance must have been there a considerable time, as it was com- pletely imbedded about half-way down the wind-pipe.—Cam- bridge Chronicle.. TOLERATION IN FRANCE.—VVre read in th Boulogne, Gazette.,—" It appears that the Rev Mr. Burgess, so well known in Boulogne, was on Sunday week last in company with the French Protestant Minister of Paris, nt A'encon, for the purpose of inquiring into the condition of their co- religionists in that locality. There is, it would seem, noresi dent Pritestant clergyman at Alencon, but the two reverend divines above named succeeded in getting the Protestant flock together, and celebrated divine service to the edification and delight of the hearers. As soon, however, as the service was concluded, two gendarmes presented themselves, and took the astonished ministers into custody. Taken before the local authorities, the rev. gentlemen were ordered, under, certain pains and'penalties in case of refusal, to quit the town within two hours—which they did. We merely record the fact as we have received it." THE SHE OF LLANDAFF —Dr. Ollivant is to be nomi- nated by the Crown to this bishopric.

Dr. Sumner, it appears, considers that his right of veto is not conditional, but absolute, and purposes to withhold his license in every case where the stipend of either living amounts to a thousand a year. The point at issue will probably be tested by an appeal to the Privy Council.

The whole might have been from 300 to 500 feet at base, by about 250 of extreme elevation; and one side ol more abrupt portion, near the summit, was a slng0^ •pa- sha ped mass, which required scarcely any effort of tion to form into a gigantic white bear, crawling down side of it. There was something extremely majestic .foe lemn in its aspect as the chill wind swept from it, and deep, dark green waves rolled and foamed beneath and ar?" gj The thought of striking against such a mass in the darK and tempest, and being suddenly sent by the shock depths beneath, seemed enough to curdle the very 'life-" in our veins, and afforded a vivid idea of the perils by the Polar voyagers and whalers. Whilst we gazed Hj-jje it we encountered a most lovely and agreeable surprise. 9 sky cleared brightly blue overhead, and the magnificent i immediately took the tint from the heavens, assuming softest cerulean hue that the imagination could conceive- exquisite apparent smoothness of it was also another for which I was not at all prepared.

ABKRYSTWYTH—A few days since, an accident of rather a serious nature, but fortunately unattended by any loss of life, occurred to the Gloucester and Aterystwith Royal Mail while leaving the town. A nobleman's family, residing 01 the Marine Terrace, having taken the principal number of places on the coach, the vehicle, in consequence of the great weight of luggage, &c., was conveyed to the nobleman's residence. Everything having been properly arranged, th"y proceeded up the whole length of the Terrace in order to start from the original place—the Gogorddon Arms Hotel. Matters had thus tar gone well, when about halfway up Pier-street, the cioss-bar gave way, falling of course on the leader's hind legs, which caused the frightened animal to rear and plunge in a violent manner, and eventully bolted. With that judgment and precision so eminently conspicuous in the driver, Mr Finch, he instantly endeavoured to pull them up, in doi; g which one tof the reins broke, and away they dashed.,at a furious rate right into the shop of Mr. Cox, printer and postmaster, two of the horses being actually in the shop, which at the time contained a number of ladies. The sudden appearance of so vast a body endeavouring to effect an entrance naturally caused them great alarm—two lalit's fainted, which put the gallantry of Mr. Cox, jun., to a severe test. Considering the immense weight on the coach, the damage (taking all into consideration) was trifling indeed, t' e front of the shop window only being dashed in. From the shttp window being a corner one every facility was afford- ed for the overturning of the mail. Too much praise cannot be awarded to Mr. Finch, the coichm in, who by his coolness during the whole time, was no doubt thi, prevention of much loss of life. After a short detention, and a change of the rusty leader, the coach proceeded on its journey.
