NARBERTH. ON Friday last the anniversary of the Sunday School connected with the Independent Chapel in this town took place at the Tabernacle, but in consequence of the un- favourable state of the weather the usual procession did not take place. The children, upwards of 300, together with their teachers, took tea at the Chapel at 3 o'clock, when aU were plentifully supplied with tea, cake, &c., subscribed for by the teachers and others. In the evening the public meeting took place. Several pieces of Scrip- ture were recited by the scholars with very great effect; the choir sang several pieces from Handel's Messiah, and other authors, which was acknowledged by competent judges to have been executed with great ability and judgment. The Tabernacle was densely crowded, and the whole proceedings seemed to give general nitis- faction.

Parry, Esq., Dr. West, Mr. Husband, and Mr. Morris—was then deputed to read the address, nnd did so with such clear enuncia- tion that every word word was audible even in the furthest extremity of the room, and that considering its extent, is saying a good deal. Address presented hy the Inhabitants of Pater, otherwise Pembroke-dock, to THOMAS MEYKICK, Esq., [For- merly Thomas Charlton, Esq.] MK. MEYRICK, The Inhabitants of Pembroke-dock, almost all of whom are your tenants, desire to offer y ou their warm congratu- lations on the attainment of your Majority, and to bid you a hearty welcome to the Town. Until now, few of us have had the pleasure and good fortune to make your acquaintance, but henceforward, and having regard to our relative positions, we hope to be united with you in bonds of mutual respect and regard. We cannot, on this auspicious occasion, refrain from adverting to the past history, the present condition, and the future prospects of this important Town. Within the memory of many of tho3e who now surround you, on the banks of the magnificent and classical Haven of Milford, but a few years since, were quict green fields, the property of your ancestors and there is now situate the finest Dock-yard in Her Majesty's dominions, where are built, and launced those mighty vessels of war, which, under Providence, arc the surest safeguards of Peace. Take your stand on the heights that overlook tha Town, regard the extent and importance of the Royal Dock-yard,, survey tbe broad noble expanse of the Haven, observe the fleets of vessels moving to and fro in safety on its deep blue waters, and say if you can refrain from admiration of the scene. The Town itself, commenced by one of your ancestors, has, under the fostering care of those worihy men to whom your Estates have been entrusted, gradually be- come more and more extended and important. The days of its infancy are numbered. The Town, like yourselt has attained its majority, and is now, as it were, in the, vigour of manhood, and we venture to predict that every succeeding year will witness its growth, improvement, and prosperity. To such improvement and prosperity your presence may give a powerful impetus, and for this reason, and others more generous, the Inhabitants congratulate them- selves on your arrival. Once more bidding you welcome to the Town, we con- clude by expressing our earnest hope that Divine Provi- dence may guide you in all your laudable undertakings, and that wisdom, health, happiness, and prosperity may always be your companions. This eloquent and admirable address, which is from the pen, we believe, of Mr. Mason, who is mentioned as one of the guests, was received with the heartiest demon- strations of applause at nearly every sentence. At its conclusion, Mr. Meyrick replied as follows:— Mr. Mc'Lean and Gentlemen—The kind and handsome way in which you this day welcome me upon my arrival in this neighbourhood, and the feeling address Mr. Mc'Lean has just read, ought, and I trust will, stimu- late, and encourage me with a sincere hope, and desire, that though naw a comparative stranger amongst you, you will ere long regard me in the light of a friend and neighbour, (applause.) And believe me it shall always be my study, not only to promote the welfare, and hap- piness of my tenantry, but of all who are engaged in the improvements of this important, and increasing Town and Dock-yard, (applause.) I can assure you that I feel fully aware of the serious duties devolving upon me, on this, my new, and responsible position; and my object shall be to support the different Institutions estab- lished in Pater and its neighbourhood, and to promote the moral and social welfare, of those around me; and believe me I shall always feel grnteful to those kind gentlemen, who have for so many years had the manage- ment of the Bush Estate. Gentlemen, allow me once more to thank you, and to assure you that the address now presented to me, shall have a prominent and con- spicuous place on the old walls of Bush. [Mr. Meyrick resumed his seat amid rapturous cheers.] The Chairman rose and said: Gentlemen,—You will have the kindness now to fill your glasses a bumper. I rise with great pleasure to propose the toast of the even- ing, which is the health of our valued, respected, and honoured Guest—the heir to the Bush Estate, Thomas Meyrick, Esq. (Applause.) I am very sorry that he was detained by unpropitious and boisterous weather from coming amongst us at the time he intended. Had he done so he wouid have seen even better than he cou:d have seen to-day, the many heart-felt, heart-uttered ex- pressions of welcome which every house, almost, showed towards his approach, and he would have found that in Pembroke Dock he had not serfs to meet him, but hospi- tality, and kindness, good feeling, and good-will, on coming amongst those who wait for a friend and pro- tector. (Applause.) He encountered very severe storms in his passage, and I trust in God they will be the last storms that will ever be encountered by him on sea or land-(applause)-hut I wish to impress upon him that it was not only the tenants of Bush who came to render the welcome he has received to-day, but men of all grades, ranks, and professions, who combined and joined hand- in-hand to welcome him, and conjointly in the hope that he might be their friend and protector if they needed a protector. (Loud applause.) For fourteen years I have been a resident of Pembroke Dock and am naturalized amongst you. (Hear, hear.) I have seen marvellous im- provements—I have seen a large increase to the popula- tion, but amid it all we always looked forward to having a head restored to us. (Applause.) I must say that during Mr. Meyrick'a minority those who have represented the estate have shewn the greatest kindness, but the constant cry was, 'When will he come of age? when will he take up his residence amongst us?' Gentlemen, he has this day done so, and in the name of the parishioners, in the name of the inhabitants, and in the name of his tenants, I welcome him amongst us to his home, to our hearts, and to the affections and good feeling of his tenantry. (Immense applause.) I have heard many and various reports about our worthy friend who now sits be- side me, and I must say that a more gentlemanlike, in- tellectual, and intelligent person I never met. (Applause.) I don't mean any flattery, but I have heard it asserted that he has a noble, generous, and amiable heart, and if such is the case we should all do everything we conld to welcome him amongst us, and bless that hour when he came amongst us to reside. (Applause.) If I should say more, there are many unkind persons watching our words and the acts of our lives who might accuse me of being fulsomenessand flattery but all I can say is, that I pray to the same Almighty Power that has just enabled him to arrive at his majority that the same power and protection, and the same goodness, may enable him to arrive at a good old age; and that he may not only be a comfort to his own family, and enjoy those blessings and those riches which it has pleased Heaven to entrust to him, but that he may diffuse comfort, happiness, and peace amongst his tenants. (Loud applause.) I therefore, my brother parishioners and brother inhabitants of Pembroke Dock, give you from .my heart, and all your hearts will respond with mine, the health of Thomas Meyrick, Esq., the heir to the Bush Estate. The toast was pledged amid fervent and protracted cheers. Mr Meyrick briefly but effectively replied to the toast. The Rev. Chairman here called upon the vice for the next toast. Dr. Thomas immediately rose and said, Gentlemen you perceive I am called upon fcr a toast, and like a good soldier I at once obey orders. The toast I am about to propose is one in which we are all more or less interested, and no one more so than our respected guest himself and as one of the far famed personages—the oldest inhabitant —it may well emanate from me. I have known the town and its unrivalled dock yard from their earliest origin, and, applying the translation of a latin line—the recollection of the classic days of my youth substituting Pembroke Dock' fer Rome' I can from personal know- ledge say where Pembroke Dock stands was once a corn field.' Yea gentlemen for I recollect the time when corn grew on the site of Commercial Row, now one of the principal streets in the town, and was present at the cutting of its last crop. And see gentlemen to what an extent both the town and arsenal have grown in the com- paratively short space of forty four years—aye and with the fostering care of its present proprietor in paying attention to its efficient drainage—supply of water and so forth it is impossible for the most fertile imagination to say to what an enormous extent it may attain in the next forty four years. I give you then gentlemen Pros- perity to the town of Pembroke Dock coupling with it, as another of the oldest inhabitants the name of my old friend Mr Robertson (loud applause.) Mr Robertson: I rise to respond to this toast with very great pleasure. Although very incompetent to do justice to the sentiments it contains, I presume I have been ex- pected to reply to this toast from being a very old inhab- itant of this town I have been here a long time; before one stone was laid upon another. I recollect travelling over fields before we could get to Pembroke. This town has now, however, arrived at great prosperity; but stiil, with all its great resources and all the advantages which it has, I do not think it has attained the prosperity it ought to have done (hear, hear). I think with proper representations to the authorities this harbour ought to become not only junior in point of work, but ought to have the precedence (hear, hear). We haveheardthisevening of magnificent men-of-war being built, and so there have; and I believe the mechanics of this noble arsenal li^ve turned out some of the finest ships which adorn the British Navy, but immediately on their being launched you hear no more of them—they are sent off to Plymouth danger which they would incur should a gale arise while or elsewhere to be fitted out, and, not to speak of the great they are being conveyed round in such a state, 1 can see no reason why these things should not be done equally well at Pembroke Dock as at other places; why we should not have riggers equally competent here with those at other shipyards (hear, hear). I repeat, that these mag- nificent vessels run very great risk in going round Land's End and to the English Channel, on their voyage to their destination, and why are they not fitted out here? Why only for want of representations (hear, hear). I only hope that our respected guest, whom we have this day met, will, from the manifestations he has seen from his friends and tenantry, take up his abode in this neigh- bourhood (hear, hjear). Absenteeism is a great curse, and when we have a gentleman whom we so much respect, and whose advent to the home of his ancestors is wel- comed with such fervent manifestations of enthusiasm, I hope these will induce him to take up his residence amongst us (applause). I have heard people say this was a very stupid place, but I never heard any one refuse to admit that it improved on acquaintance (hear, hear). With regard to this harbour, it is the finest in Great Britain—and I believe that there is no harbour in the world can surpass it. Captain Jackson will probably tell you that there are only two or three equal to it (applause); therefore I cannot see why we are not further advanced. Now with regard to another point. You are all aware, probably, that under the National Defence Act, a portion of the Bush Estate was taken by compulson, for the pur- pose of building barracks between this and Pembroke. The site, however, favourable as it is to the accommoda- tion of troops—and it is one of the most splendid places in the kingdom for the purpose—has not, notwithstanding all the compulsory powers employed, been rendered avail- able, and the result is that the troops, whose position might be rendered so comfortable, arc obliged to continue in huts, in the winter drenched with rain, in the summer burned with the sun. I say, that with our advantages we have not progressed in the ratio we ought to have done (hear, hear). There are a great number of other circumstances that deteriorate from the advantages and prosperity of this town. We have no custom house; when a vessel comes in she must go to Milford; that involves a serious inconvenience, and, moreover, all thc money is expended there, which might he expended here. There is another point to which I should wish to refer (a voice: 'The town should be lit with gas'). That will be referred to, no doubt, ata later period of the evening. I wish now to address myself to another matter. We have now the advantages of railway communication almost to our own houses, and happening to bring the subject before the directors of the South Wales Railway at a recent meeting, I told them it was a shame to subjcct females to the in- convenience of crossing the haven by night in an open boat (hear, bear), and that they should put on a steam boat tQ convey passengers across. The answer of the Chairman to my observations, was, Will the Admiralty give permission?' 1 say they ought to give permission (hear, hear). They have done so at Portsmouth and Plymouth, and other places, with no harm consequent on it. With a steam bridge you could cross just as if it were a highway ferry or a highway road. All this ought to be conceded, and with representations from our friend, Mr Meyrick, the Admiralty must give way to the common wishes of the public. Whenever the public requires any- thing—though there may be motives, sinister motives for opposing those wishes—"they must give way (hear, hear). In conclusion, sir, I am very happy to welcome our worthy guest here this evening, and only hope he will live many, many years amongst us. The prosperity of the town is accelerated even from his appearance amongst us (ap- plause). With regard to Captain Superintendents, although some of them have not given that facility for rec- tifying the wants of the town that they might, I am only too happy to say, from what I hear of the present Cap- tain Superintendent, that he is anxious and desirous of doing all he can to benefit the interests of the pubiic in this town (hear, hear). Therefore I am glad he is amongst us. and J hope and trust that anything that may be re- quired may be brought forward when he is amongst us; and I am sure. from all I hear, he will do all he can to benefit the inhabitants of this town (applause). Dr. Thomas again rose and said I have another toast to propose which I am sure you will respond to with equal lvarmth, being that of a gentlemen lately come to reside amongst us to whom we are indebted for the resto- ration of what we have so long been deprived. I mean the reestablishment of the communication with the Emer- ald Isle. The benefit this confers on the town is incalcalable and very thankful ought we to be to Captain Jackson (great applause) for investing such an amount of capital in the speculation, already we have steamers run- ning twice a week to Cork and three times to Waterford and it is expected that very shortly the transit will he daily. Captain Jackson bids an important situation also in the port, that of agent to Lloyds in which he, like his im- mediate predecessor is doing everything towards bene- fitting the port generally. It was only the other day their iron ship from Glasgow to Calcutta with a cargo insured at no less a sum than jE90,000 put in for repairs. The talented gentleman had at the time some efficient boiler makers employed on one of his steamers. These he brought to Milford—had the vessel on shore—effected the repairs and sent thc noble ship off the next day with- out incurring the expense of discharging one pounds worth of her valuable cargo. I give you then gentlemen the health of Captain Jackson and success to the com- merce of the port, (boundless applause.) Capt. Jackson, after an acknowledgment of the com- pliment paid him, went on to observe: I can only say, for one, that nothing will give me greater pleasure, so far as my little abilities go, than to promote the commerce of Milford Haven. (Applause.) It is true I am but a very young resident amongst you, but I believe there is no one here more interested in the prosperity of Milford Haven than 1 am myself. (Hear, hear.) I came down here about two years tlgo as a perfect stranger; I brought a very large capital for a man of my means, to invest in the haven, and—for I have no means of taking it out—I must put my shoulders to the wheel and work it out energeti- cally, but only for my interest, but the benefit of the place. (Hear, hear, and applause.) I must agree with my worthy friend Mr Robertson, that the longer a stran- ger lives at Pembroke-dock the better he will like it. (Hear, hear.) When I came down here, about two years ago, the boys pointed me out as 'the man that was coming down to bring steamers,' as if it were an extraordinary thing (Laughter.) But such is the in- creased activity of the place that strangers come now and are no longer objects of curiosity, (hear, hear,) and I believe and trust that, with good fortune, we may see something in Milford Haven that none of us have ever seen yet. (Applause.) You have heard an allusion to the new Captain Superintendent—I believe he is very anxious to support the interests of the place, and to a certain extent he has the opportunity of doing so; if not that, he has the power of throwing a great many obsta- cles in the way,, and I think he is not a person of that kind-—quite the contrary. (Hear, hear.) Capt. Jackson concluded hy the expression of a belief in the future pros- perity of Milford Haven, and the reiteration of his thanks. The Chairman, in highly complimentary terms, pro- posed the health of St John Chiverton Charlton, Esq. Mr R. D. Jones replied to the toast as follows. Gen- tlemen,—I must explain to you why I find myself in the position this evening on the left of the Chairman, to which I am hardly entitled when I see a son of Mr Charlton's here (in allusion to Capt Charlton), but I must explain that I am deputed, as Mr Charlton's son- in-law, to express to you the very great regret he feels at not being able to meet you here this evening. I assure you he was perfectly overwhelmed with the kindness that his son received from the inhabitants of the town of Pembroke Dock. (Hear, hear.) I know, I feel confident, I am addressing men of more than ordinary intelligence. I feel quite satisfied upon that point. I perfectly agree with you in tbe words of the address, that Pembroke Dock is no longer in its infancy—at the same time a great deal must be done. (Hear, hear.) It strikes me you will have to get something like a Town Improvement Act. (Hear, hear.) I speak as a stranger; I know there arc often wheels within wheels and petty jealousies, but I don't understand how a water supply, and proper drainage, and, as a gentleman remarked, how gas can be got into the town without an Improvement Act. (Hear, hear.) You may possible feel it right to put yourselves under the Sanitary Act, but I would not re- commend it. I am the chairman of a local board under that act, and have been for many years, and I assure you except for large towns, Manchester for instance and towns of that description, the machinery is much too cumber- some. particularly with regard to the keeping of accounts, which are to be kept asunder the P 'or Law Board, which you know are very cumbersome. I feel satisfied that my brother-in-law will throw every facility in your way—he will be guided by you—you of course know better than he. and if you think proper to take steps for any improvement of that kind, 1 know he will go hand and heart with you. (Applause.) Gentlemen, I will say-with regard to my bro- ther in law that you will find him one of the most generous, kindhearted,good.benevolentindividuals that ever existed. (Applause.) I could give you many instances of it, but I will merely mention one. I happened to meet him in London the other day upon some legal business con- nected witn taking possession of the Bush Estate, and I suggested that we had better order a few things for the festivities to come off at Bush. He said 'I wish to order everything from Pembroke and Pater that it is possible to order.' (Applause.) Now it is said you cannot put old heads on young shoulders, but there is a great deal of forethought in that, and it shews the kind feeling of the heir of Bush. (hear, hear.) I beg to return you thanks on behalf of my father-in law for the very kind manner in which you have proposed his health. (Applause.) The remaining toasts were the healths of the Chairman (proposed by Capt. Kenion), Sir John Owen, Mr. Lewis Mathias, Mr. Thomas Lewis, the Vice Chairman &c. The Chairman, with Mr. Meyrick and his friends, left the room about 10 o'clock, but conviviality was kept up by the remainder 01 the company till a late hour. We may mention here that the great length of the room necessitated a toast-master, whose duties were efficiently discharged by Mr. George Arber. BUSH TENANTRY. On Thursday afternoom the Pembroke-dock Tenantry of the Bush Estate invited to dine with Mr. Meyrick, formed into procession, headed by the Dock-yard Band, marched from that town to Pembroke, where they were joined by othera-unitedly numbering nearly 1,000, and after perambulating the streets, returned to Bush, to partake of Mr. Meyrick's sumptuous hospitality. [We have a fuller report of this written out, but it must stand over till next week.]
