PEMBROKE AND PEMBROKE DOCK.
PEMBROKE AND PEMBROKE DOCK. A most imposing and impressive ceremony took place on the parade ground, at Pembroke-dock, last week.. It wAs upon the occasion of the presentation of four medalf, for good and long service, to four soldiers of the 31st regi- ment, who are at present under orders for active service in the Crimea. Major Kelly, who is in command, and who is not only respected by the inhabitants of Pern- broke-dock, but justly respected and beloved by the troops under his command, delivered the medals to the a ildiers, and upon doing so addressed to them the follow. illg truly impressive and sensible remarks:—" Soldiers— By order of the General Commanding in Chief, I have .9 this day assembled the troops in garrison, for the purpose of witnessing the distribution of four medals for good conduct and long service, under the provisions of the Royal warrant of the 13th of April, 1854, Of all the duties that fall to the lot of a commanding officcr, there can be nono more gratifying to his feelings than that of I bestowing rewards from her most gracious Majesty, for good and faithful service. The honourable and well- earned badges I have now affixed to the breasts of you soldiers will, I trust, he a sufficient proof to the young soldiers now present, that merit will never be overlooked, )nd I hope will serve as an inducement to you to en- deavour, by steady conduct and willing obedience to your superiors, to obtain similar distinctions and I ne- wish you many years of health and happiness to show to t ie world at lun>o your well-deserved honours. MECHANICS' INSTITUTE. — On Thursday evening, the lth instant, the ltev. T. T. Thomas delivered a lecture >n Electricity to the members of the Pembroke-deck tlechanics' Institute. Mr. Thomas illustrated his lec- ure by many interesting and amusing experiments, with nis double-plate electrical machine, which periormeu admirably. The members present were highly gratified with their treat. Mr. Thomas has kindly promised tu repeat his lecture, and has also promised to delivei another on the Planetary System, to be elucidated by means of his orrery. Several other gentlemen have enRaged to give lectures shortly, on various subjects. ROYAL DOCKYARD.—The Apprentice School in this establishment, which is conducted by Mr. S. A. Good, Licentiate of the Royal College of Preceptors, was visited last. week by the Rev. Joseph Woolley, L.L.D., the Admiralty Inspector of Schools, on his half-yearly tour. He examined the senior students as to their pro- ficiency in pure mathematics, mechanics, hydrostatics, &c. The junior apprentices were, ir. addition to the elements of a plain English education, examined in geometry, algebra, and rudimentary mechanics. The inspection occupied two days. This school has secured a high character in the published report of the former inspector, Professor Moseley. It is hoped that it will not obtain a less distinguished position in the reports of Dr. oollcy, his successor. The names of students who may have distinguished themselves will not be known, until the appearance of the official report on the whole of the Dockyard Schools. LAUNCH OF HER MAJESTY'S STEkNf YACIIT. The launch of the Victoria and Albert," royal steam yacht, took place on Tuesday last, at Pembroke-dock, under circumstances particularly auspicious. Before proceeding to describe the launch itself, it mav, perhaps, be as well to give our readers who were not present a faint idea of this very beautiful ship we will, therofor •, begin by giving her dimensions — ft. in. Length over all 536 9 Ditto between perpendiculars 300 0 Ditto keel for tonnage. 275 3 Breadth extreme. 40 3 Ditto for tognnage 40 0 Depth in hold. 24 0 Burthen in tons, No. 2342 52-94. Horse Power, 600. When looking at her" high and dry," she give us the idea of an immense eight-oared racing wherry, with the difference (if any) that she is proportionally sharper, and the most beautiful model of a ship that has yet been sent afloat. Upon ascending to her deck, the idea of an im- mense wherry is still carried out—her extreme length taking off from the appearance of her width. Her deck is flush from stem to stern, and beautifully put together. There is a spacious "cabin on deck," which does not, how- ever, interfere with the effect of her long flush deck. Her internal arrangements are in quite an unfinished state, so that we cannot gratify our friends further than to say that the "State Rooms" already formed are of very spacious dimensions. After being launched, her appear- ance on the water, from her light draught, was not what it wiH be when she is brought down by her machinery, ballast, &c. She will then be a perfect specimen of naval architecture. We are not aware by whom she was designed, whether by Jír. Lang or not; she has, however, been entirely built under his inspection, and that, too, in an incredibly short time, having only been commenced in May last. Indeed, the expedition with which the work has been completed reflects alike credit upon all classea of iirtizans in the establishment. Of course, the materials used in her construction are of the very best description, her timbers being almost altogether )f mahogany and teak, whilst all her bulkheads are lined with felt, for the purpose of deadening, as much as possible, all sound. Her capstan, her brass fittings, her carpenter's work, all reflect the highest credit upon those who were employed upon her. Everything in her construction has been attended to in order to secure ightness, strength, accommodation, ease, and great speed. It is confidently hoped that she will attain .wenty knots. We shall be anxiously looking out for ler trial in Stokes Bay. We are sorry that our imper- 'ect knowledge of nautical affairs prevents our being nore explicit in our description this, too, must be our ixcuse to our nautical friends for any impropriety that ve may have been guilty of in her description. The day (Tuesday) opened "all beautiful and bright," ;he sun, contrary to his usual custom at this season of rear, shining out with summer brilliancy to do honour o the occasion, and, no doubt, in a great measure tend- ng to increase considerably the numbers of those who vere "there to see." We can assure our readers that dthough there was a certain amount of Royalty attached o the event, we were much surprised to see all the ivenues leading to the scene of action so densely crowded, md that too, not by an everyday crowd, but by thou- iands of elegantly dressed ladies and gentlemen-not to nention the carriages belonging to the Aristocracy of the leighbourbood. At a little before three o'clock the yard ^ate was opened, when an orderly rush took place, all :onfusion being avoided by the judicious plan of Tickets, ettered to correspond with the letter on each gallery. Ground the ship were arranged these galleries, from each )f which a fair view of the launch was to be had. At he head of the ship, touching her, was erected a plat- 'orm for the accommodation of the Lady who named her md a number of the principal gentry, naval and military )fncers, &c., the varied uniforms of the latter adding sonsiderably to the animated concourse. There might be seen The Earl of Cawdor, Lord and Lady Milford, The Baroness de Rutzen, the Hon. Captain Dcnman, R.N., r. II. Philipps, Esq., M.P. & lady, Sir B. Walker, Sur- veyor of the Navy, Captain Smart, R.N., Superintendent )f this Yard, Major Kelly, Commandant of this Garrison, VIr. Lang, Master Builder, and a number of ladies and jentlomen whose names we could not obtain. For an lour before the launch the Band of the Dockyard and the Fife and Drum Band of the 11th Regiment alternately jave forth their strains, the soft waltzes &c. of the for- ner contrasting pleasantly with the heart-stirring rolls of he latter. Of the music wo can but say, it was very jood. Just before four o'clock The Captain Superintendent, eading forward Lady Milford (who was to name her), explained to her the manner of launching and the modo )f naming; immediately after which Her Ladyship, lamed The Victoria and Albert," at the time gracefully jreaking the bottle of wine attached thereto against her cutwater. The war pipes ceased; but lake and hill Were busy with their echoes still," ivhen a shout arose from the assembled multitude, which :old of hearts who loved their Queen. Lady Milford low, under the direction of Mr. Lang, divided the cord wit'i a neat chisel and hammer, and after a few moments lelay away she went, acquiring greater speed at every inch she moved, until thrown upon the bosom of the iear old Cleddy. She was "brought up" amidst the continued and hearty cheers of the thousands who beheld her, the band appropriately playing "God save the Queen," whilst those around stood "uncovered." The Dragon steam sloop, whose appearance told little of the rough usage she had met with (her fires not having been out since March until her arrival at Pem- broke on Sunday last), with other steamers of a lesser description, were in attendance. As the concourse was leaving the yard a light shower fell, but not sufficient to cause uneasiness, almost im- mediately clearing up. The weather' throughout the lay (considering the time of year) was all that could be wished.

LATEST INTELLIGENCE. BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH! PBMBROKBSIIIRB HEIIVLD OFFICE, HAVERFORDWEST, FRIDAY, JANUARY 19, 5, A.M. MARSEILLES, Wednesday Morning.—The Euphrates, which left Constantinople on the 8tli has arrived. Des- patches for the Government left at at 7 45. The news from the Crimea is to January the 3rd. The French batteries were daily approaching nearer Sebastopol. The weather was still very bad. Only two Russian ships remain now armed. Omer Pacha has returned to Varna from Eupatoria. The Chronicle says the snow has ceased for tho mo- ment. and that the last English battery was in course of construction. At a dinner given by the Austrian Envoy at Constan- tinople, he gave as a toast The Sultan and his brave Army who are the admiration of all Europe." He ex- claimed they have in every action defeated the Russians, and they were able gloriously to defend the rights of Turkey against Muscovite ambition. Like the Western Powers Austria was willing to fight for the rights of Turkey and of Justice, whatever might be the result. He concluded by remarking with great energy that Rus- sia was no longer to govern, she must yield. This speech made great sensation, and the Grand Vizier warmly thanked the Envoy,, VIENNA, Wednesday.—Baron Bourquery and Lord Westmoreland received on Wednesday by telegraph orders from Paris and London to open the Conference. The dispatches to this effect were on their way. The Moniteur contains the following telegraphic des- patch — PRRA, January llth.-On 5th inst., Omer Pasha ar- rived at the Camp before Sebastopol. Having made himself acquainted with the intended movement of the Allied Armies, Omer Pasha departed on the 6th for Varna, and after having giving his orders at the latter place he will proceed immediately to take direction of the opera- tions. The Russians made another sortie on the 8th, but were vigorously repulsed. VIENNA, THURSDAY MORNING.—The English and French Ministers have received powers enabling them to treat for peace with Russia No later news from the Crimea, and the French mail had not arrived.

FUNDS AT THE CLOSE.—English securities rallied this morning, and were maintained with steadiness till towards the close, when, on a pressure of speculative sales, prices receded i per cent., closing lower with tolerable steadiness. In Railways transactions, on the whole, were not important, and opening prices were barely maintained. Land, Bank, and Foreign descriptions are not mate- rially altered. LONLON PRODUCE MARKET.

After otficc hours opportunity was taken of a further fractional decline in Consols to circulate the periodical rumours of dissentions in the Cabinet; but their effect was partially neutralized by the receipt of higher quota- tions from Paris Consols. Close 91^ 2 for account, and 911 q for money. No importance attached to the Vienna news respecting instructions having been sent to tha British and French Ministers, empowering them to treat for peace.

A SAILOKCHKATING A JEW —This modern miracle waN revealed on Saturday. John Rottenbergh. a seaman, was brought before the Thames Court on remand, charged with victimising a Jew, named Samuel Prohownky, and others, in a very aittul-rrianttcr. It appeared that 'h" pri son-r had lately come home as a_passfngrr in a ship which had ma tea 16 mouths voyag". bu: the prisoner bad onlv been on board four months. Hs »v,ent to Pro hows k.v, who is an outfitter, and represenfedhe-tiad 16 months' wages to take nnd that he had been in the ship all the time V'roh- owsky ascertained he had come home in the ship, and. tnxinus to do business wMi a "homeward-bounder," who, he supposed, had 16 months wagrs to teke. supplied him with slops to the amount of. £ 7..The prisom r made simi- lar representations to a vf»ry knowing crimp and lodging house keeper, mined Jones, who expected to make a good thi>>[r of the piisoner when he -;is pad off, and on the f«iti" \f hi* represent.iiions, that he had 16 months' wi-jcf !o receive, supplied him with £ 10 in monev, and provider him v.ith ho;ird I:nd lodgings. Toe prisoner had no wages to receive. Mr. Corrie thought the victims had been ver; easily duped, and said it wo.ild be useless to commit tin prisoner for trial, for "o joiry would convict him. HI -hcrefnre orderjd turn to be discharged. ¡ THOHNHILL V. THORNHILL.—DISALLOWING COSTS.— It will be recolleeted that Mr. G. A. Hamilton Chiches- ter who had been committed to prison for contempt of' Court in attempting to induce Miss Clara Thornhill, a ward in Chancery, to marry him, was discharged on cer- tain conditions, one of which was the payment of the taxed costs. An application was now made to the Court on behalf of the young lady's guardian, to review the Master's taxation, he having disallowed several items of costs as not being covered by the order of the Court. Among others were the costs of the affidavits on which an injunction had been obtained in the first instance re- straining Mr. Chinchester from attempting to marry or have any communication with Miss Thornhill.-The Lord Chancellor said the Master had mistaken his duty in disallowing the costs. It was fallacy to suppose that the affidavits which were used in moving for the injunc- tion were not connected with the proceeding for obtain- ing the commitment, for they were in fact used for and were applicable to the whole proceedings, therefore the taxation must be reviewed. "NAILED TO THE COUNTEK."—Shortly after 11 o'clock on the evening of Saturday last (says the Glasgow Daily Mail) a spirit dealer in Glasgow closed his shop. and, in company with his wife, proceeded to make some pur- chases previous to returning home. On passing their. shop a short time afterwards, they were astonished to observe the front door open, and two men and two women standing inside. They closed the door, and called for the police, when the intruders were apprehended. It then transpired that an old offender, named Janet Hay, whose husband had been transported lately, had suc- ceeded, by false keys or otherwise, in gaining admittance to the shop, and, before she had time to make a lift, a decent man, who had neglected to purchase a supply of liquor in time, seeing the door partly closed, opened it, entered, and asked for a bottle of spirits. Hay replied, The family are in bed; don't speak loud," and pro- ceeded to execute the order. Before the bottte was filled however, a man with a woman also seeing the door open, entered, for the purpose of getting a supply but were surprised by the police before they received any article. The housebreaker Hay, on being discovered, concealed herself in a back closet, where she was found the other persons, who entered merely for the purpose of pur- chasing spirits, stood in the shop amazed at the turn things had taken. They were liberated, however, on the above explanations being made, and Hay has been committed for trial, together with a man and woman who have been silspected to have been confederates. At Bow-street, Ann Swatkins, describing herself as a servant-of-all-work, has been committed for robberies on the following plan. Proceeding to houses where a servant was wanted, she was in the habit of representing herself as come for the place, and whilst the servant who opened the door went to make inquiries, she managed to slip inside a very capacious gingham umbrella she always carried, any of the smaller and more valuable description of the same article which happened to be in the hall. A peculiar kind of pocket to contain three or four more was found in her dress. An amusing circumstance connected with Lord Elgin's visit to New York, en route, has transpired. His lordship was in want nfftjrrif to settle his hotel hills and so forth, and presented at the Bank of Commerce a draft from the B:.nk of Montreal, ordering the first named institution to pay to the order of the Right Hon the Karl'of E'gin and Kincardine the sum of £ 250., &c. The teller of the Bank of Commerce demurred to paying the draft on the plea that he could not say whether he was the person I will endorse it," and forthwith wrote" Elgin and Kincardine,, on the back of the document. The teller was still incredulou*. That sort of thing had been done bv several confidence men before, and the Hank of Commarcp ciH}!d not pay this money until the claimant of it had proved his identity by some persons known to the bank officers. Here was a fi x Lord Elgin looked about in vain for some person who could testifv that lie was really himself. He was finally obliged to depart without the money, there not being sufficient time previous to the sailing of the steamer to allow him to send for a person to identify him. THE TELEGRAPH Fon THE SEAT OF WAR.—AH the preparations for this most important auxiliary to the cam- paign are now completed, and the wires, with a very efficient staff for laving them down, were to leave Sunder- land this day. The telegraph wires are upwards of 130 mitec long, and will be sunk between Varna and Cape Chersonese, or Balaklava. The Admiralty have deputed Captain Ro- bertson to accompany the expedition from England; and Captain De Cane is to join it at Constantinople. Friday, 500 barrels of winter boots, each containing 30 were shipped from the Tower-wharf, to be put on bo.ird the transports at Woolwich for conveyance to the Crimea. These boots are made for the upper leather to reach the top perfectly waterfroof, and are met at the tops by a waterproof cape, the ends of which strap to the trunk of the boot, completely shielding the wearer from all outward i moisture. There is now in Southampton dock a screw, steampr called the Loire, loading with wine for Balaklava. A machine with wire rope is to be sent out in the Loire to draw the casks and barrels of wine up the sides of the rock at Balaklava. Lord Westmoreland, oil the pait of our government, made acontraet six weeks ago with the house of Weikersheim and Co., at Vienna, for an immediate supply of fur;< and winter clothing for our troops in the Crimea A large portion of the goods has already reached its destination via Trieste. A letter from Meiz says "During the last mouth we have sent by railway for Mar- seilles and Toulon, for the army of the East, upwards of a million ofJCongreve rockets, large bombs, and howitzer- shells, and 150,000 kilogrammes of gunpowder. A new description of rifle, called the "Fritehett," is in course of manufacture at the Government works, Enfield. An American journal, the New Orleans Picayune, denounces a novel system of barbarity, not surpassed even by the horrors of the slave trade, which has come into practice in connexion witTi the guano at the Chimha Islands. It appears that a contractor has imported six hundred Chinese, who are driven to their work with whips and kept at it without intermission, Sundays as well as week days. The consequence is that disease is making great havoc among them, while many are driven to the commission of suicide by the most horrible methods, in order to escape from the intolerable thraldom into which they have been entrapped. The American journalist invokes the voice of the civilized world against these un. heard of atrocities. MAT RIMOSIAL ALLIANCES OF THE RUSSIAN IMPE- RIAL FAMILY.—The German States, whose reigning families are most closely connected by single and double marriages with the Imperial line of Russia, are Baden, Oldenburg, Wurtemburg, Electorial Aesse, Grand Ducal Hesse, the Duchy of Warsaw, Taxe Altenburg, and Meclenburg Strelitz; but'' where there are no intermarri-.iges with the Imperia! family, there are princes, dukes, and archdukes, attached to the Moscovite army by military dignities and emplov ments. It is startling to see how many chiefs of Russian regiments & colonels of Russian dragoons and Uhlans there are among the haughty nobles who surrounded the German Sovereigns." In short, it would he exceedingly difficult to find any German family of note that is not connected with Russia by marriage or military and civil employments. JfornÙlg Advertiser.

TENBY. t
TENBY. t TEXBY LITERARY ASSOCIATION. On the evening of Thursday, the 11th instant, a most important meeting was held at the Infant Schoolroom, to take into consideration the best means for promoting the formation of a Literary Association in this town. I The meeting was numerously and most respectably attended, all classes interested in it having their repre- sentatives. F. Dyster, Esq., proposed, and seconded by II. Wedg- j wood, E-q., "That the Rector the Rev. G. Clarke, M.A., ( preside over the meeting." -Carried unanimously. f The Rector, in opening, expressed his approval of the proposed scheme, which had for its object the mental f improvement of his parishioners, and remarked that, as ( knowledge was the thing aimed at, it might be as wel { I ar to give an opinion on secular knowledge. Secular knowledge, he observed, is a thing we, as Christian men, J ought not to be afraid of; although, when unsanctified, it was capable of doing, and productive of, much mis- chief. He did not think that secular knowledge leads 1 necessarily to religion (history shows that knowledge has too frequently been perverted, and used by evil- j minded persons for evil purposes, and, like all good things, is liable to be abused); yet he thought that man, being given mental faculties. by the Almighty, is hound to use, exercise, and improve them. Should tho Istitu- tion prove as beneficial as he expcctcd it would, he would assure the members of his cordial support. He ¡ would not attempt to explain all things connccted with I the proposed Institution, but would say that the princi- pal objects would be, that all may have access to news- ( papers, periodicals, and a library of books of reference, ( which we individually could not purchase; and to hear lectures on the various topics of the day, of which there were sufficient without intruding on religious topics, on ( both of which subjects men felt too deeply and too strongly for them to be made the subjects of discussion. 1 Thus mutual improvement would be obtained by lec- 1 tures and discussions. The reverend Chairman con- ] cluded by hoping that those present would lend a helping hand towards the formation of such a desirable < institution. i The following resolution was then moved by the Rev. < J. B. Smith, R.A., seconded by H. Wedgwood, Esq.:— That it is desirable to establish an Institution, to be called the Tenby Literary Association, for the purpose of providing a Reading Room, a Library, and other means of instruction for its members. ] Carried nem. eon. 1 The reverend gentleman, in moving the foregoing resolution, stated that a neighbouring clergyman had 1 intimated a willingness to give a series of lectures on Geology, should the association be established. This announcement met with great applause. F. Dyster, Esq., moved, and Colonel Wedgwood seconded, That the present meeting constitute them- selves members of the said institution." F. Dyster, E-q., observed that if the association was intended to be a permanent one, those who have the greatest interest in its establishment, and whom it is most likely to benefit, must bestir themselves and take an active part in the committees, &c. He knew some who thought the gentry (as they call them) ought to do so but if each and all of the members did not take an active part, relying on their own resources, the associa- tion would utterly fall to the ground. 1"0 The Chairman, in putting the resolution to the meet- ng, enforced the opinion of the mover, by mentioning ,he rise and speedy decline and fall of a similar instiu- ;ion, from the want of the individual interest referred to. It was then proposed by Captain Brett, and seconded by Mr. T. Purnell, That Colonel Wedgwood, Messrs.. fl. Wedgwood, J. Thomas, J. Rogers, and T. Purnell [secretary), be a committee. (Mr. L. P. Barnaschone was ldded to the above committee) to prepare rules, &c., for the government of the Tenby Literary Association; and that they are requested to report tho same at their earliest convenience, to a general meeting of the members." This resolution being carried, the Rector observed that those who had assented to the second resolution might withdraw such assent, as the present proceedings were not irrevocable, many persons having a great objection to take a "leap in the dark therefore, nothing would be considered obligatory until tie provisional committee had laid its plans before a general meeting of the mem- bers, and a permanent committee formed. Mr. Purnell remarked that he thought a committee could not be appointed except as members of the Asso- ciation, which they at present were hot. The Rev. Mr. Clark said, the meeting, by accepting unanimously the second resolution, had constituted them- selves members, and could therefore nominate a com- mittee. The names of a great majority were at once entered as members, and a vote of thanks being passed to the I reverend Chairman, the meeting separated. Thus ended one of the most important meetings ever held in Tcnby. and one, the object of which, if persevered in, will be replete with intellectual blessings to succeed- ing generations.

GALLANT RUN WITH THE SotTH PEMBROKESHIRE.— The meet on Friday last, the 12th instant, was at Sodge- aton Mountain and, after drawing Llandigwinet blank, found at Somerton, and dashed away, at a slashing pace, through the fog for Jordastone, across Coal Lane, sly Reynard trying for the earths at Copy Bush, but like many more, he was lost in the fog, and missed them he then troddled across the Ridgeway, skirting Norchard, turned back to Sunny Hill, and though his path was un- cheered by a single ray of the Solar beam, pushed on for Manorbier Newton, Hodgeston Hill, Lamphey Coombs, Lamphcy Park, crossing the lawn in the front of Lam- phey Court, in first-rate style; then over Lamphey bridge to the Cleggars, Westhill, Alleston, and Launces- ton; struggled on for big Trewent, the merry pack running the whole distance without a check, and into the Varmint about a hundred yards beyond Trewent village. Mr. James Roch, of Steven's Green, carried off the brush, which, no doubt, he will preserve as a trophy of one of the smartest runs on record. George, the Huntsman, broke his stirrup leather about the middle ef the run, and was last seen scratching his head at the accident, like the Knight of the Woful Countenance. Major Leach, D. Byers, Esq., Mr. John Davies, of Hayes, Mr. George Ormond, of Williamston, Mr. T. Llewellyn, the young Squire of Welston, and several other-gentlemen were well up at the finish. AT A PETTY SESSIONS, held at the Town Hall, Pern- broke, before John Adams, Esq., Mayor, Thomas Lewis, 1 Thomas Mansel, and William Hulm, Esqs., on Saturday last. John Allen Harris, tho turnpike gate keeper at Biers- I pool Gate, appeared to answer to a complaint laid by Major Kelly, of the 31st Regiment of Foot, stationed at Pater, for having demanded and received the tolls of hi3 horse, he (Kelly) then riding past, and being exempt I under the Statute of Tolls. Convicted and fined 2s. 6d. I and costs, with a caution from the Mayor not to commit < the like offence again. — Qcorge Owyther was summoned on a charge, laid by Major Loach, of Corston, for killing a pig on the Highway within the Borough, contrary to Bye Laws. &c. Convicted and fined Is. and costs. -Seve- ral transfers of alehouse licenses were granted to parties within the said borough. On Saturday evening last William Lewis was brought before M. Davies, T. Mansel, andJ. R. Bryant, Esquires, and fully committed to take his trial at the next Assizes, for stealing miscellaneous articles from the vessel which he was mate of, lying at that time at Pembroke Quay.
CARMARTHENSHIRE.
CARMARTHENSHIRE. FELONY.—John Davies, a lad in the employ of Messrs. Warren, merchants, of Carmarthen, was brought before the Borough Justices, on Monday last, on a charge of folony. From the evidence taken it seems that the pri- soner was engaged by the prosecutors as an errand boy, that the prosecutors having missed money from the till, suspicion fell on the prisoner, whose movements were watched. On Saturday last, a certain amount of silver was deposited in the till and the prisoner when alone in the shop was observed by an assistant to open the money drawer, and take money out. A policeman was thereupon sent for and the boy given in charge. He was fully committed for trial. PoucE.—On Wednesday last,, a man named William Evans was apprehended by P.S. Buckley, on a charge of being a deserter from the tith Regiment of Foot. The prisoner's description corresponding with that of the Folicc Gazette, he was committed to gaol to await further directions from the War office. CONCERT.—The Drury Lane English Opera Company give a second concert in this town, on Tuesday lasi. This time the prices of the second class seats was reduced •md the result was a full house. Tho singing was of the first class, nnd appeared to give universal s CHILD BUUNT.—An inquest was held before Mr. John flushes, coroner, at Carmarthen, on Monday last, t,) in- quire into the death of a child named Ann Jones, daugh- ter of Daniel Jones, hatter. It appears that the child ."]10 was live years old. was left in the house, with an- other about the same age, and got accidentally scalded by overturning a kettle containing hot water, from the effect* of which it shortly after died. The jury returned a verdict of accidental death. (
--, CARDIGANSHIRE.
CARDIGANSHIRE. CAEDIOAX MECHANICS Lirr.a.vaY INSTITUTION.—The Annual Meeting of the this Institution, took place on the 12th inst., at the Town-hall, Cardigan, R. D. Jenkins, Esq., in the chair. The report of the Com- mittee of Management, and the accounts for the past year, were read and unanimously approved of, from which it appears that the affairs of the Institution are in a highly satisfactory condition. Thanks were voted to Mr. Morgan Rees, the Honorary Treasurer, Mr. Lowther the Honorary Secretary, and Mr. D Jones, the Collector for the services rendered by them during the past year. The Chairman in the course of the proceedings, stated that it was with much regret, he found that so many tradesmen and influential persons residing in the town in no way supported the Institution, although many of them had youths in their employ who were members of it, and partook of the numerous advantages which the Institution afforded, its establishment being the means of keeping youths and others from being forced to walk the streets, after the close of business at evening, or resorting to public houses; by which evil companions were avoided many bad examples were unseen and unknown, and habits of reflection and study were cncouraged. A pub- lic vote of thanks was most warmly and unanimously awarded, amidst much applause to Mr. A. J. Cawood, of Cardigan, as the originator and sole proposer of the In- stitution, and by whose exertions, upwards of seven years ago, aided by the valuable assistance of the gentle- men who were then selected, and constituted the Com- mittee of Management, the Society was established, and, up to the present time, has continued a benefit to the town, which all those who avail themselves of it, fully acknowledge. The members of the Committee of Ma- nagement for this year were chosen, and the offieers were re-elected, and the meeting separated much gratified with the results of the proceedings. SINGULAR DISCOVERY.—On Saturday week, as a ma- I son, named David Jenkins, was employed in some build- ings at the Station House, Kilgerran, which is near the ruins of Kilgerran Castle, on removing some ground for a foundation, he discovered a large quantity of human bones, of an unusually large size. They had evidently lain there for a great number of years, and it is difficult to imagine by what means they got there. The bones were re-interred. SERIOUS ACCIDEST.- On Friday last the 12th inst, an accidont, which was near terminating fatally, occur- red to a farmer named Evlan J ones, of Sarne, Pembryn, I n, Cardiganshire. A horse and cart was standing in Mwl- dan, Cardigan, which from some unknown cause, knocked down and seriously injured Evan Jones, the hoise trod upon his head, and the cart passed over his body. Mr. Beviin and Mr. Mathias, surgeons, promptly attended, and Mr. Jortes is now recovering. KILGERRAN PRrTY SESSIOSS.- The monthly Pettv Sessions for this hundred was held at Newchapel on the 9th inst, before John Colby, Walter D. Jones, James 8 Bowen, and W. H. Lewis, Esqs. The adjourned case of Abraham Morris v. John Thomas for malicious injury to property belonging to Mrs. Gower of Castle Malgwyn, by throwing slate rubbish from Kilgerran quarries over young oak trees, was called on for adjudication. The case had been adjourned for the decision of the justices upon questions raised by Mr. Asa Evans, the defendant's attorney, as to the power of the justices to convict under the Malicious Injuries Act, and as to the ownership of the property by Mrs. Gower. The complainant appeared in person; the defendant was represented by Mr. Asa Evans. D. Jones, Esq., in delivering the decision of the court, stated that the justices were satisfied the offence complained of was within the Malicious Injuries Act, and also that Mrs. Gower had such a right to the property as enabled her to cause the defendant to be pro- ceeded against. The defendant was fined Is. for the damage, 2s. 6d. penalty, and 13s. 6d. costs, and in default of payment in fourteen days ordered to be imprisoned in the common gaol at Haverfordwest for fourteen days. -Elizabeth Williams v. Alban Griffiths. This was an affiliation case. Mr. Asa Evans appeared for complainant, Mr. Mitchell appeared for defendant. Mr. Mitchell be- fore the case commenced, stated his intention to apply for an adjournment until next month as his witnesses were absent. Mr. Asa Evans, however, preferred to go into the complainant's case, and have the evidence on her behalf taken, which was accordingly done and the case adjourned until the 6th of Pebruary. Mary Evans v. Jonathan Morris. This was -an affiliation case. Mr. Asa Evans appeared for complainant, and Mr. Mitchell for defendant. There was nothing in the casa deserving notice, and the defendant was adjudged the father of the child.-Jane Jones v. David Phillips. This was an affiliation case, Mr. Mitchell, solicitor, ap- peared for complainant, and Mr. Asa Evans for the defendant. The case lasted several hours, after a full investigation tho case was dismissed without the defend- ant's witnesses being examined: The first Tuesday in the months of February, May, August, and November during this year were fixed for hearing appeals against poor rates in the hundred of Kilgerran.

Pair of the Approachos,was unanimously adopted. THE SURVEYOR'S KEPOllT. 1 report of Mr. Gibbon, the Surveyor, was read, ( it stated that tho nightly consumption of gas in the was 18,000 feet; it required the whole of the six ] rt/^rta to keep up the supply, and he called the attention of Commissioners to the fact, and the difficulty which °^d arise when either of the retorts should get out of air; the consumption of coal is 17 tons weekly. The t ePort further stated that there were but two stokers and .;b° lamplighters, and the latter were obliged to assist former; in consequence of orders having been given Q *t the lamps should bo lighted so early that those in ^lay-Street might be lighted before dark, a difference of ilay- 'Vo hours and a half was made in the nightly con- bUtnption. It also stated that the consumption of gas y the church clock last winter amounted to 20,100 feet. Mr. Smith said it was clear that there was an extrrva- Bant expenditure of gas, and the income did not meet it. ne expenses of the last year amounted to £ 727 8s. 7d., of interest, and tho receipts amounted to only *590, ldr. Marychurch asked what were the amounts of the Previous, year ? Mr. Smith said the expenditure of the previous year ,^8 £ 448 17s. 4d., and the receipts were £ 448 3s. Gd. *Tiey were in arrear £ 35 on the 31st December last, and *as necessary they should devise some means of re- ducing the expenditure, or they must increase the cost to private consumers. The only means open to them for decreasing the expendtiure would be to put out the 'treet lamps at an earlier hour. Mr. Marychurch said he found the difference between the expenditure of the last year and the previous one Unouated to £ 279, and the difference on the receipts was t142; by taking the latter sum from the former the amount was £ 137, and out of that they saved £ 80 by Interest of their money, so that there was left after all a deficiency of only £57, and no doubt a little careful max- ftgement might easily remedy that. In the course of a conversation which ensued some remarks were made upon the desirability of an increase Wnong the private consumers, upon which Mr. (). E. Davies observed that it was useless to talk Of that as a means of gain, as the present consumers had difficulty in getting a sufficient supply. The fact was there was something wrong; of the cause of which they yere not at present awaro, for in High-street, in adjoin- ing houses, one house was well lighted while the next nould not got enough. The same thing had oocured in Carmarthen, and there they had resolved on bringing down a scientific gentleman to try to find out what was the fault. He (Mr. DaTies) thought their best plan 'Y"Ould be to nvail themselves of the opportunity oftered at Carmarthen and get the same gentleman to corao down here, as the expense would not be great. Mr. Smith suggested a committee oithe Commission- era should be first appointed. Mr. W. Reynolds moved that Messrs. O. E. Davies, James Owen, and John Phillips, bo appointed a com- mittee for the purpose. Mr. James Owen declined to serve. jJr. Brown proposed that Mr. Marychurch should 1)(;> appointed together with Messrs. Davies and Phillips. Agreed to. TIIK MATERIAL GROUND, The attenrion of the board was called to the state of the Material Ground which it was Baid was encumbered with rubbish and mixens, Mr. Marychurch said it was the duty of Mr. Gibbon to look altar that. He was the Surveyor for the Com- fuissiooers and paid for looking after the state of the town, and the Material Ground, too, he ought to look after. Mr. Gibbon said a commitee had been appointed, of which Mr. Marychurch was one, who had taken it out of his hands and directed him not to interfere with it. Mr. Marychurch said that committee had only ordered that they should be applied to for leave to occupy the ground by shows, but it was Mr. Gibbon's duty to see that it was kept in proper order. The Rev W. W. Harries said he thought it was an ac- commodation to the public to keep that place for the standing of carts on market days as it would be a relief to the streets and public thoroughfares of the town, and the police might range the carts there in proper order. Mr. Smith said the country people might pay a small toll for it. If they were to go into a field they Would have to pay for the accommodation. Mr. Marychurch said going into an enclosed place would be a different thing, but this being an open piece of waste ground might b-' made a place for the carts to stand without charging any toll for it. Mr. W. Reynolds said he had often tried to make people take their carts there when they had come in front of his house, and had threatened several times to get them fined for it, but they would not go into the ground. After a few more remarks it was agreed that Mr. Gibbon should attend to it. THE ACCOUNTS. Mr. Smith nsked if the accounts should bu handed over to the Auditor. The Rev. W. W. Harries said it was important tlint the public should know how their money was expended, and, therefore, the accounts ought to have been audited and published before this time. Mr. Smith said he could not help it, as the last meeting on the first Tuesday of the month, and the Quarter Ses- sions being held on the same day, no Commissioners came to order the accounts to be audited, and that was a most particular reason why he had introduced them into the notice for this meeting. The order was then made for them to be audited. TIlE ROAD TO THE GAS WORKS. The next subject was the state of the road to the Gas Works, which is in a very bad condition. Mr. W. Reynolds moved that notice be given to Messrs. Goode and Conder to put the road in a proper state of repair; according to their agreement. It was stated that Messrs. Goode ond Conder would in a very short time have completed their work, and would then no doubt fulfil their agreement. After a little con- versation Mr. Reynolds withdrew his motion, and it was agreed a note should be forwarded to Messrs. Goode and Conder, calling their attention to it. This concluded the business of the day, and the meet- ing broke up.
