TO CORRESPONDENTS. K. K., HAVERFORDWJ;sT. — \\re do not think it necessary to publish your letter, as a correspondence in reference to that matter has already appeared in a daily contem- porary. Time and opportunity are only necessary, and the same idiosyncrasy will develop itself in the same party at Merthyr. A sermon on that character is not necessary it will suffice to give your text—John viii. 44.

THE MERTHYR DRAMATIC SOCIETY propose to give an entertainment on Thursday next. They deserve success, and we hope an effort will be made by the public to secure it for them. PETITIONS have recently been forwarded from various places of worship in the town, to the Houses of Parliament, in favour of the more perfect closing of public-houses on the Sabbath, a bill to that effect having recently been in- troduced to the House of Commons. MR. LIVSEY'S CONCERT.-On Thursday evening last this benefit concert took place at the Drill Hall. We anticipated it would be a success, and it has decidedly proved so, com- mercially and musically. The hall was crowded by a fashionable audience, and the performance of the pro- gramme gave unbounded satisfaction. ;;ROYAL COLLEGE OF SURGEONS.—We notice with pleasure in the Times of the 8th inst., that Mr. J. J. Gabe, formerly pupil of the late Herbert James, Esq., has successfully passed the examination for the diploma of the Royal College of Surgeons of England. We wish Mr. Gabe every success in his profession. THE SILVElt CUP, which has so frequently been shot for by the members of the 12th Volunteers, was on Thursday won, in the first stage of shooting, by Sergeant F. Davies, who made 38 points, with 20 rounds, at 200, 500, and 600 yards- The second highest was Private Barnard. We are unable this week to find room for the score. THE SLAVE TROUPE.—We observe that an entertain- ment by the American Slave Troupe is announced for the 13th and 14th instant, at the Drill Hall. The criticisms of the press are highly favourable to the performances of this sable troupe, and we have no doubt but that they will do their utmost to merit good houses on their visit amongst us. Mit. VIVIAN, the Surveyor of Assessed Taxes, has just removed from Merthyr to High Wycombe Station. During his brief residence here his courteous and gentlemanly manner won for him many friends, and it is a gratification to know that on his departure, about his last remark was, thnt although he expected High Wycombe was a more agreeable place as a residence, yet he knew he could not meet with a kinder hearted people than he left at Mer- thyr. He has been succeeded here by Mr. Jackson, late of London. NARROW ESCAPE.—On an evening during the early part of the present week a child of Mr. Betts, photographist, accidentally fell into the pond, near the lime-kiln, adjacent to the Goitre Tramroad. It was, with others, in the care of a nurse, but through some misfortune fell into the pond, and as the water was very deep, would undoubtedly have drowned were it not for the courage displayed by a man who happened to be near, and who jumped in, and succeed- ed in bringing the child out. The child was taken home, and is now, we believe, quite recovered. A DEAD SHOT. On Wednesday last, Mr. John, a private of the volunteer crops, went to the targets for rifle practice, and passing a pond near the 200 yards range he observed something skimming along the water, with its head about two inches above the surface. On close scrutiny he saw that it was a water snake. He immediately loaded his rifle, and taking careful aim shot it through the head. It sprung out of the water about two feet, and then gave up the ghost It measured nearly three feet in length, and was rather more than an inch in diameter in the thickest part. It has since been-put into a bottle of spirits of winé, to be preserved as a. memento of the deadly effect of Mr. John's rifle. THE IRON TRADE.—With respect to the iron trade in South Wales, the Iron Trade Circular says Iron pros- pects are reported as 'looking up.' Not satisfied with having secured the 14,000 tons of East Indian rails, the Welshmen are now grumbling that they have lost the order for chains. Trade shows signs of a healthier condition. Pigs are more in sale and steadier. Bars, generally, in moderate enquiry. Rails inclined to be easier. Tin plates show no change. An attempt is being made by the Man- chester Centre of the Iron-worker's Associate and the Welsh Iron-workers, with the North of England Association, under pretence of an equalization of wages, but in reality to get hold of one or two thousand pounds which they are not disposed to lose in a strike. The folly of the Trade Unions' system is now so rrominently before the public, and it has so conspicuously failed, that it is hardly necessary to advise against tlieui, otherwise than to bring their doings and intentions as much as possible into the light." V U J PARISH OF VAYNOH.—A parish meeting of the rate- payers and householders was held according to legal notice on Friday evening, at seven o'clock, for the purpose of settling a church rate, or to adopt some other means to defray the legal expenses of the churchwardens. It was moved and carried ""That the Rev. Eichard Griffiths, Independent Minister, preside over the vestry," and after reading the notice, it was moved and seconded, and agreed unanimously, to do away with the sexton." and that the church party ought to pay for cleaning the church, and to light fire in it if they wanted, the same as other religious denominations in the parish. It was afterwards proposed and ceLlTied that the newly-elected churchwardens should not attend the Visitation of the Ordinary at Brecon, as it was understood that they could not be compelled to attend, and finally it was proposed, but not seconded, that a church rate should be made. This proposition falling through, it was subsequently suggested that the churchwardens solicit free-will contributions towards paying the sexton's salary, repairing the church, maintain- ing the churchyard in proper order, and in defraying the churchwardens' expenses to Brecon last year. The meet- ing was adjourned for three months, but not without giving the chairman a hearty vote of thanks.—Communicatcd. 0 BETHANIA, DOWLAIS.— On Thursday evening, May 2nd, a Welsh lecture was delivered at the above chapel, on the Elements of Happiness,'? by the celebrated and talented Miss Sarah Oranogweu Rees. The extensive chapel was crammed to overflowing by an assembly eager to have an intellectural treat, and certainly no one was disappointed. Miss Rees's exquisite delineations of character showed a deep and thorough insight into the iutricate labyrinths of the human heart. Every one listened throughout with wrapt attention, and undisguised pleasure, and all must have felt elevated into a new atmosphere of truth. The chair was most ably tilled by Thomas Williams, Esq., Peny- darren. The second united choir of Dowlais, conducted by the well-known Eos Morbus, acquitted itself with great eclat. The following master-pieces were suug —" Halle- luiah to the Father," "When winds breathe soft," and "Ar y don o flaen y gwyntoedd." At the close the Chair- man proposed a vote of thanks to Miss Rees for her eloquent lecture, which was seconded by the Rev. J. Thomas, Towyn, and carried amid deafening and long-continued cheers. After responding. Miss Rees proposed a vote of thanks to the worthy Chairman, it was seconded by the Rev. Mr. Lloyd, Hermon, and was heartily accorded. The Rev. J. H. Hughes proposed a vote of thanks to the choir, which was seconded by Rev. J. Jones, and unanimously cheered. This terminated the proceedings. A BANQUET, 011 a scale of magnificence seldom seen "t Merthyr, was given on Wednesday last, to about thirty Merthyr! 'Mre^t^x'V^v ;u.ld T- EcJw^rds' °(f Cow Inn, and it is no exaggeration to state, that a+finer or more luxurious repast is but rarely placed before the public, than was presented on this occasion. The clifc was laid in a convenient room near the ''ourt jp„- bill of fare comprising soups of various Uescnpuons. lamb, beef, poultry, tongues, kc., kc. salad ^e"a'^ofuse. from Gloucester, and accompanying these was I' ness of chami)a»ne port, and sherry, or me most approved vintages John ^hapton, Esq..

Complimentary speeches and harmony were the order of the evening, and to these nearly all the gentlemen contributed. Altogether, a more agreeable meeting—a meeting distinguished by gentlemanly conduct —praiseworthy in every detail—could not be enjoyed, and we are quite sure that [the almost princely hospitality shown on this occasion by Messrs. Hopkins and Edwards will long be remembered with feelings of pleasure by those who werepresent. COUNTY COURTS AND IMPRISONMENT FOR DEBT.—Some years ago a committee of County Court judges was appointed to inquire into the advisability or otherwise of the power of the judges to imprisonment for non-payment of debts. The committee consisted of Messrs. Manning, Koe, Cooke, Worlledge. and Fullner and their report is now for the first time published. They say that they have received replies from fifty-nine judges, and that twenty-four of them think that the power of a judge to send a person to prison for disobedience in not appearing in court to an after- judgment summons should no longer exist. In this opinion the committee concur. The committee therefore recom- mend that the law should be altered accordingly, so that no person who neglects to appear to a judgment summons should be committed unless the judge is satisfied that the person is liable to be committed for some one of the causes mentioned in sec. 99 of 9 and 10 Vict., chap. 95 but the committee think that no other alteration should be made in the law. Any limitation as to the number of times for which a debtor could be imprisoned for non-pay- ment, or any limitation as to the sum for which he could be imprisoned at all, they think would act most deleteriously for the interests of the working classes, since these would have to pay an additional price for their goods in order to compensate for the increased risk of loss which the trader would incur. It should be borne in mind that no debtor can be imprisoned twice for the same debt, unless it is shewn that he has the means to pay and will not pay. Formerly, under the old Courts of Request, men could, by remaining in prison a certain time, rid themselves of their debts, and they used to do so. The committee recommend that no debt incurred for beer consumed on the premises where sold shall be recoverable at law after the lapse of fourteen days. They do not make any recommen- dation with regard to the travelling drapers, because they think that tl,1e judges of the courts, by carefully weeding from the accounts of such persons all sums charged for goods supplied to a wife on the credit of her husband, not befitting her station, or which he has not sanctioned, can prevent any ill effect which would otherwise arise from this system of trading, and because when so restrained the system is not disadvantageous to the working classes. The answers of the fifty-nine judges are given, and occupy about seventy pages. A "SMART" THEFT AT DEVYNNOCK, BUT A "QUICK" APPREHENSION.—On Sunday night last, at Llwynon Cray— a farm-house, about four miles from Devynnock—a sin- gular occurrence took place. It appeared that a mah named Crockett, an itinerant labourer, who had been in the employ of the occupier of Llwynon (Mr. Price) about three weeks, was discharged on the Saturday night, but yet was allowed to partake of the hospitality of Llwynon until Monday morning. Mr. Price, having occasion to rise a little earlier than usual on that morning, whilst paying his customary visits to his stock, &c., found, to his great dismay, that his riding cob, together with saddle and bridle, were missing from the stable, and the man Crockett was also nowhere to be seen. His suspicions were aroused, and he immediately proceeded to Devynnock, and gave information to Sergeant Gabriel of what had occurred. That indefatigable officer, with the greatest alacrity, pro- ceeded at once to Brecon, riding a small mountain pony of Mr. Price's—having first ascertained the tracks of the cob's hoofs, which, with some difficulty, he was able to trace. He found, by making enquiries at the Brecon turnpike gate, that a man had ridden through about two a.m., desirous of making his way to Liverpool. He (Sergeant Gabriel) first searched the various public-houses, where the offender was likely to stop thence proceeded to Builth (it being fair-day),' where he arrived about nine o'clock, a.m. In walking through the fair, he immediately perceived the mare, which he well knew, and saw Crockett, who rode it, in the act of dealing with a man from Llangammarch—the prisoner's selling price being £8 10s. The sergeant, quite up to snuff," stood by till the usual conversation between persons in vainly endeavouring to do such bargains was ended, walked up, and asked his price the prisoner asked jE9, the officer offered £8-the prisoner hesitatingly said, "I won't lfave it." The P.S. simultaneously sprang for- ward, and collared him and the mare, accompanied with the appropriate remark, I'll have you and the mare," and then charged him with the theft. Crockett made an attempt to start off, but the police officer's grasp could be likened to nothing less than the blacksmith's vice," and straightway walked him away to the police-station, where he was safely lodged within less than 31 hours after the information was first given at Devynnock, and at a distance of 30 miles. The prisoner is an old offender, naving lately served his two years' imprisonment for a felony committed at Abercar, in Taf-fawr. He had on his person, when apprehended, a double-cased Geneva watch. Great credit is due to that expert officer of the Breconshire constabulary —Sergeant Gabriel—for his dexterity and skilfulness in this apprehension, and his experience and uprightness as an efficient and quick official will not be for many a day forgotten by the inhabitants of that locality. THE MERTHYR BOARD OF GUARDIANS. This Board held their weekly meeting at the Board- room on Saturday, Mr. G. T. Clark presiding. Present, Messrs. D. Williams, Rosser, Kirkhouse, J. Edwards, J. Matthews, J. Smith, D. Rees, E. W. Scale, Rev. J. Griffith, J. W. Russell, Davies, and Rees. The minutes of the last meeting were read by the Clerk, and confirmed. The Clerk read a letter he had received from the Poor Law Board, calling attention to the report of Dr. Smith, medical officer to that Board, relative to the dietary best for adoption in the various Unions in the country. The report was a long one. The Clerk said he had read it through, but he did not think there was much in it that affected the Merthyr Union, as the dietary recommended by Dr. Smith was very closely adopted here already. With the consent of the Board, the Chairman ordered the Clerk to procure six copies of the pamphlet. HDIN BOOKS PRESENTED TO THE UNION. Mr. Edwards presented, on behalf of the Hermon Welsh Calvinistic congregation, Dowlais, two handsomely-bound hymn books, one in Welsh, by Williams, Pantycelyn, and the other in English, by Dr. Watts. Rev. J. Griffith approved of both of them; nothing could be better; they were each founded on the common prayer-book. The Board having unanimously approved of the books, The Chairman proposed that the Clerk be instructed to write to the Hermouites, Welsh Calvinistic Methodists, Dowlais, thanking them for the hymn books, and to inform them they should be laid upon the desk for use, if the ministers chose to use them. The Clerk said he had been endeavouring to get the Rev. Mr. Johnstone, who wrote to the Board ou this subject, to say what books the ministers would agree to but he bad not yet been able to get that gentleman's decision. The following is the inscription inside each of the hymn books:—"Presented by the members of the Hermon Welsh Calvinistic Methodists, Dowlais, to the Merthyr Board of Guardians for the use of the Union House." LETTER FROM DR. THOMAS. The Clerk read a letter he had received from Dr. Henry Thomas, pointing out the necessity for the scavenging operations to be continued at the Cefn. The Chairman enquired of the Clerk whether the Board possessed the legal power ? The Clerk quoted the Nuisance Removal and Diseases Prevention Acts, and thought the Board had power. The Chairman said if they did so it would be necessary to rescind the late resolution of the Nuisance Committee on this point. The Board could do so, though he thought it might be better for them to refer the subject to the com-* mittee. After some conversation, it was moved by Mr. Kirk* house and seconded by Mr. Rosser, that the letter be con- sidered this day week. THE NEW SCHOOLMISTRESS. The Master said that Miss Hogs:, the new schoolmistress, had objected to conform to the rules of the bouse she had refused to breakfast in the dining-room with, the children, and to inform him when she went out. Miss Hogg said she had not done so at Darlington. The Master said it was the rule for all the officers to inform him when they went out—not to ask his permission, but merely to let him know. The circumstance having been lengthily discussed, and the regulations, according to Act of Parliament, having been read, Miss Hogg was called before the Board, and informed by the Chairman what the rules were aud to these she then gave her assent. THE MASTER'S REPORT. The Master reported that there were ,52 inmates in the bousre; cttregponding week last year, 105.
