CARMARTHENS HIRE. CARMARTHEN AND CARDIGAN RAILWAY.—EXTENSION FROM KIDWELLY TO LIMESTONE ROCKS.-It is proposed to apply for a bill in the ensuing session for this exten- sion of the Carmarthen and Cardigan Railway. Such a work is calculated not only to benefit the district, but to promote the interests of the shareholders in the present line. The ascertained consumption of lime for agricul- tural purposes at the present time by carts along the route of the Carmarthen and Cardigan Railway, lately opened for mineral traffic to Pencader, is three hundred thousand tons. This, with the convenience of the Rail- way to the heart of the district, will, no doubt, treble the consumption. This traffic alone would make the Car- marthen and Cardigan one of the best paying lines in the country. The completion of the works would afford a good supply of coal to the whole of Cardiganshire and the upper part of Carmarthenshire, a luxury from which they have hitherto been debarred in consequence of its great cost.

AMERICA. NEW YORK, Nov. 2 (EVEKXKG).—An extensive con- spiracy has been discovered in Kentucky and Ohio, to liberate the Confederate prisoners at Camp Chase and overthrow the State Government. Numerous persons have been arrested. Another expedition has sailed from New Orleans to some point on the Texan coast. General Butler has superseded General Foster in the command of the Department of Virginia and North Carolina. At a Democratic mass meeting, held at New York, the Poles wore lustily cheered, and vigorous groans given for the Russians. Twenty thousand furloughed soldiers have left Wash- ington for New York. They received free transportation, it being understood that they would vote for the Republican ticket on the election day. NEW YORK, NOVEMBER 3, (EVENING).—Railroad communication has been re-opened between Alexandria and Warrenton. Mosby's guerillas are still operating around Warrenton. An engagement took place on the 28th at Chattanooga, in which General Hooker captured seven prisoners and 19,000 rifles, losing 350 killed and wounded. General Thomas reports that the Confederates attacked Geary's division on the 28th, but were repulsed and driven from their breastworks across Look-out Creek. All has been quiet at Chattanooga since the 29th of October. 15,000 Confederate cavalry under Wheeler, Forrest, and Roddy, are in the neighbourhood of Decatur, Courtland, and Tuscumbia, south of the Tennessee river, prepared to operate on General Grant's line of communication. General Burnside's forces have retreated from London, Tennessee, to the heights commanding the town. Charleston advices, received at Richmond to the 30th ult., state that the bombardment of Fort Sumter. on that day, was the heaviest that has yet taken place. From sundown on the 28:h to sundown on the 29th, 1,200 shots, from 15-ineh mortars and 300 lb. Parrott guns, were thrown against. Fort. Sumter. On the evening of the 30th the Federals opened upon the north-east angle of Fort Sumter from Forts Gregg and Wagner and two other batteries on Cumming's Point. Three Monitors were also engaged. The Confederate casualties were seven wounded. The bombardment continued, but was slackening. General Banks has returned to New Orleans, to com- mand the expedition which, it is reported, will laud on the Texan coast, and form a junction with Franklin, who is advancing via Opclousas. Franklin has occupied Opelousas after a slight skirmish. Guerillas still infest the ba" ks of the Mississippi, firing on passing steamers. General Butler's new command is said to include Balti- more, Fort Monroe, Norfolk, and North Carolina; Schenck and Foster being both superseded. Amass meeting of the United Tammany and Mozart Democracy has been held at New York. The Governor of New York made a speech, saying that it was statisti- caliy proved that every twelve months the Federal army lost, from various causes, one half of the men in service. He declared that war, as carried on by the Administra- tion, could only end in luin and national bankruptcy. Democracy proposed to adct conciliation to the power of force. He denounced the efforts of the Administration to centralise power and diminish State rights. The Administration had dealt unfairly with New York in regard to furnishing troops, and favoured New England. At a complimentary visit to the New Jersey munici- pality, Admiral Lisovski said he was sure that the Emperor of Russia sympathised with the North in the unjust rebellion, and hoped and believed, as he himself ) did, that the North would be successful. He should shortly take as many of his fleet as possible to Washing- ton to winter there. NEW YORK, Nov. 4 (MORNING).—The Republicans have gained their elections in New York State. Their majority is estimated at from 15,000 to 20,000. In New York city the Democrats have lost 10,000 votes since last year. The Republican ticket has been elected in Massa- chusetts by a majority of 40,000. The Arew York Times believes that the Confederates are executing a movement against General Burnside. The Confederates, in small force, are fortifying the approaches to the north bank of the Rappahannock. General Meade has obtained information concerning Lee's strength, which would enable him shortly to take active measures. All the troops in Washington are re-inforcing Meade, their place being supplied by invalid troops. Federal advices confirm the bombardment of Fort Sumter, the object being to prevent the Confederates constructing new batteries on the Channel side. The south-east face of Fort Sumter is much damaged by the bombardment. No more shells have been thrown into Charleston. The bombardment of the city is not ex- pected. It is reported that General Joe Johnston has ordered General Forrest to burn all the cotton in bis command. 800 Federal cavalry have been captured in Alabama. President Davis has been enthusiastically received throughout his tour. He made a speech at Mobile, asserting that the Southern cause was in a better con- dition than a year ago. He believed Bragg would strike a blow which would destroy Rosecrans's unwieldly legions or drive him for refuge to Ohio. Southern despatches from Chattanooga to the 29ib October state that Howard and Hooker's divisions had advanced from Bridgeport to Lookout Valley, where they were joined by Granger's corps, which crossed at Brown's Ferry, three miles below Chattanooga. Jenkins's division had attacked the Federals, capturing 25 prisoners. The Federals now occupy the west side of Lookout Creek, and Longstreet the east side. Considerable fiaudahave been discovered in the New York Custom House, by which persons shipping goods to neutral ports avoided furnishing bonds against reship- ment of goods to the South. The China, Germania, and City of Washington have arrived out. — DEATH OF THE KING OF DENMARK. COPENHAGEN, Nov. 14.—The following bulletin of his Majesty's health was issued this morning The erysipelas spread yesterday over the King's whole face, with increasing fever and continued slight deli- rium. No accession of erysipelas took place last night. Having obtained a little sleep, his Majesty is rather better to-day. COPENHAGEN, Nov. 1-5.—Intelligence received from Glucksburg to six a.m. to day announces that the erysi- pelas under which his Majesty is suffering has increased again, and is attended by violent fever, delirium, and want of sleep. The tumour on his Majesty's eye-lid has been opened. COPENHAGEN, Nov. 15, (Evening).-The King of Denmark died at Glucksburg at half-past two o'clock this afternoon. The grief and consternation which prevail here are in- describable. Frederick Charles Christian—known as Frederick VII -the late King of Denmark, was born on the 6th of October, 1808. He was the son of Christian VIII. and the Princess Charlotte Frederica of Meckleuburg- Schwerin. In his eighteenth year he set out on a tour through Europe, visiting various German States, Italy, Switzerland, &c. He remained at Geneva for a con- siderable time, pursuing political and military studies, returned to Denmark in 1828, and married his first wife, the Princess Wilhelmina Mary, the youngest daughter of the then reigning king, Frederick VI, on the 1st of November following. His father, Christian—afterwards Christian VIII., was at the time heir presumptive to the Danish Crown. There was no issue to the marriage, and in 1837 the Prince was divorced from his wife. The reigning king was not pleased with the divorce pronounced against his daughter, and a few days after the legal deci- sion, sent his son in law to the fortress of Fredrica in Jutland. There he remained until the death of the King in 1839, when his father ascended the Danish throne as Christian VIII., and at once set his son at liberty. The Prince married again in 1841, his second wife being the Princess Marianne of Mecklenburg-Strelitz. This union also terminated in a divorce in 1846, and there was no issue from the marriage. Prince Frederick next formed the design of allying himself to a Swedish Princess, but the negotiations came to nothing. Christian VIII. died in 1848, and was succeeded by Frederick his only son on January 20th of the same year. Here it is necessary to pause, and take a glance at a phase in the late King's life which is intimately associa- ted with his public history, and which is said to have had considerable influence on the policy he pursued since his accession to the throne. The phase alluded to was hia connection with Louisa Christina Rasmussen, Countess of Danner. This lady was born at Copenhagen in 1814, of parents in an humble condition of life. She received, however, a good education, her friends intending her for the profession of a governess. She discharged the duties of that profession in Norway for some time, but, not finding it remunetative, went to Paris, whew t for two years she was attached to one of the theatres of that metrop lis. She then returned to Denmark and entered a military establishment in Copenhagen, where she first made the acquaintance of the late King. not then called to the throne. An intimacy sprung up between them, which, although it at first appeared likely to be of short duration, and was in fact broken off for a considerable time, was destined to be of long continuance. On Prince Frederick becoming King, he contracted a 'left-handed marriage mith Mdlle Louisa-as she was then called—and she at once became a personage of im- portance it the Danish Court. She was created Baroness and subsequently Countess of Dinner, had a palace allotted to her, and was surrounded by nearly all the grandeur and slate belonging to the position of a Royal spouse. In 1850 her marriage with the King was re- celebrated in public in the church of Fredericksburg, and in 1852 and 1854 she accompanied his Majesty in his tours, and participated in all thp popular ovations. She was possessed of a firm and intelligent mind, was as jealous of her rank as a veritable queen, and is said to have had great influence in directing the line of policy which has of late years been pursued by Denmark towards the Germanic Confederates. Shortly after his accession, Frederick VII. promulgated a new constitution for his dominions. He appointed four commissioners to draw up the plan of a common form of government for the kingdom and the duchies of Schleswig, Holstein, and Lauenburg. The chief feature of this new organisation were as follow The Common Estates were appointed to consist of fifty-two delegates, of whom the sovereign appointed eight. The remainder were elected by the deputies of the Provincial Assemblies, and of the clergy, prelates, and landed nobility of the duchies, and the Consistories of the Universities of Copenhagen and Kiel. This arrangement dissatisfied the German inhabi- tants of the duchies, who reckoned upon being separated from the kingdom on the death of Christian VIII. The general excitement consequent on the French revolution of February, 1848, induced the revolt of the duuehies and it was not until after two years of hostilities that the movement-which had been supported by Germany- was, with difficulty, suppressed. In 1854 and 1855 the constitution underwent further modifications, tending to adapt it more to the different and conflicting parts of the monarchy. How far suecess has attended those and subsequent efforts at consolidation may be judged by the actual state of affairs between Denmark and the Germanic Confederation. The late King had, as already stated, no issue, and the question of the Danish succession was one which had long complicated the difficulties of the monarch. In 1852, however, a treaty was signed in London, by which Prince Christian of Glucksburg was recognised as heir presumptive to the Crown. The law confirming this set- tlement was passed on July 31, 1853. Prince Christian, now King Christian IX. of Denmark, is tie father of Alexandra, Princess of Wales. He was born April, 8, 1828, and married on May 26, 1S42, Louisa Wilhelmina Frederica Caroline Augusta Julia of Hesse-Cassel. The issue of that marriage were ihree sons and three daughters -Prince Christian Frederick William Charles, b )rn in 1S4-3 Prince Christian William Ferdinand Adolphus George (now King of Grece). born in 1845 Prince Waldemar, born in 185S; and Princess Alexandra Caroline Mary Charlotte Louisa Julia (now Princess of Wales), born in 1814; Princess Marie Sophie Frederica Dagmar, born in 1847 Princess Thyra Amelia Caroline Charlotte Ann, born in 1853. --AI'-

TO THE INDEPENDENT 13 TJ Jl Cr E S 8 E S OF THE TOWN & COUNTY OF HAVERFORDWEST. GENTLEMEN,— Having had an opportunity, at the close of the Poll, of addressing a large number of your body, it was not my intention to make any further reference to the Late Municipal Contest; but as the honesty of the Burgesses who honoured me with their votes on that occasion, has been publicly impugned, and their characters grossly maligned by certain parties, I feel it due to them to bear my testimony to the utmost fairness with which every vote on my behalf was obtained. You have been charged with receiving bribes from roe, and myself with buying your votes. I flatly contradict the charge; it is an entire fabrication, concocted out of spite by persons, who cannot conceal their mortification at the large amount of support I received from the intel- ligent and respectable inhabitants of the town. I never gave—nor authorised any other person to give—a single farthing to obtain a vote for me, and this is a declaration which those who conducted the opposition, cannot make, and at the same time maintain a strict adherence to Truth. Notwithstanding the personation of Voters, not only of the living, but even of the dead: notwithstanding the threats and intimidation used I> certain parties: notwithstanding the improper use by certain agents of the names of the gentlemen who employ them, in order to prevent persons fulfilling their promises to vote for me, t am proud to say that more than one-half of the total number of votes polled was recorded in my favour. Though unsuccessful, I am yet proud of the position in which your kindness placed me, for 1 polled 387 votes, 180 being plumpers; and had only fair means been employed by my opponents, I should have been returned by a triumphant majority. I came forward independently, and not under the auspices of any party; and I challenge any member of the dominant clique-even that most aristocratic personage, Mr William Davies,-to poll such a large number of votes without resorting to those disgraceful tactics by which they have monopolised nearly alldhe seats in the Town Council. I am an opponent of a Borough Rate, because I believe it to be unnecessary. I am one of the largest Ratepayers in the Town, and would therefore be affected by it nearly is much as any other Burgess. The income of the Cor- poration is more than sufficient for their public require- nents, if affairs were conducted with proper economy. Thooking you for the support you afforded me at tb" ate election. I have the honor to be, Gentlemen, Your obedient and obliged Servant, T. WHICHER DAViES. Gftstta Square, Haverfordwest, Nov. Iwh, l&Qi.

is not worth half, nor near half the sum asked for it These exorbitant, extortionate charges paralyse us. We cannot meet them-it would be impolitic-it would be absurd for us to try to meet them. (Applause.) Well, how does this operate? You have seen what it is doing for Pembroke in our inability to get a convenient site C'r the station, and in Pembroke-dock it was our inten- tion originally to go to the Pier, but we are asked such enormous sums for some property by the lessees as to imperil that scheme, and that the Directors are now actually considering wher they should carry it out. The owners of property embarrass us on every hand. I very much regret this. People ought not to take a limited view of the line. They ought to meet the Company and the contractors, to whose liberality we owe much, fair!y and honestly. The Directors have very properly deter- mined not to submit to the extortionate demands now made. (Applause). Every one should set his face against conduct which militates against the value of property in this district. The South Wales Company was not treated as we have been. I can speak with con- fidence on that point so far as Pembrokeshire is con- cerned. as I was professionally engaged in the matter. That company was treated fairly, properly, and honestly. The Directors of the Pembroke and Tenby line have wisely determined, rather than meet such exorbitant- extortionate demand., to divert the line. (Applause.) Mr Hulm: I understood all the land required had been purchased. The Chairman That is not so. Mr Davies I have referred to those whose land has not been taken. Mr Halm Why not ask a honest and respectable jury to assess the value, as you have the power to do. Mr Davies Because we wish to avoid law costs. The Chairman Perhaps it would be as well that we should to-day pass a resolution generally approving of the proposed extension. I will therefore move—'That the proposed extension of the Pembroke and Tenby Railway is desirable.' Mr C, Allen, of Tenby: As a resident of Tenby, I cordially approve of the extension, because it must benefit the town in which I live, and I have, therefore, much pleasure in seconding the motion. Mr Hulm Will you aliow me to add that the extension must be beneficial to the county and to the shareholders. It will afford al! who live in this district greater facilities for travelling into England and bring a large accession of traffic to our line. I most cordially assent to the motion. Mr Allen Long: The tradesmen of Pembroke Dock approve of the proposed extension. It is true we have the South Wales line to Milford, but goods suffer ma- terial!y in crossing the ferry. Hobb's Point, too, is a considerable distance from the business part of Pembroke Dock. The extension will shorten the distance for us to London and the principal markets in the kingdom, and it is looked upon as a great boon by all the inhabitants of the town. (Applause) Mr Thomas Lewis: As you have invited a free expres- sion of opnion you will perhaps allow me to state, as one who has a close intercourse with the people of this dis- trict, that this extension is most favourably regarded. We all see the immense benefit that will accrue to the county from it, and are consequently very anxious to see it carried out. We are ail agreeably surprised at the success of the line between Pembroke and Tenby. Many said, when the project was first talked of, A line to Tenby! why, it is preposterous, there won't be traffic enough to pay for grease for the carriage wheels.' These very men now say-, Well, who would have thought the traffic would be so great? One might have thought to see a large traffic when the extension was made, but now—it is really remarkable.' (Laughter and applause.) The motion was then put to the meeting and carried -two gentlemen only refusing to vote at this meeting in the absence of certain details. A vote of thanks to the chairman was carried by acclamation. The Chairman, in acknowledging the vote, referred to what had been done by the Company for Pembroke. At one time was intended to go through the Saint Florence Valley, leaving Pembroke altogether off the line. He was the main instrument in prevailing upon the directors to take the line over the route it now travels. He thought this fact alone was sufficient to prove that the directors would not lose sight of the interests of Pembroke, and it ought as well to induce the inhabitants of Pembroke to support the proposed extension. PETTY SESSIONS. WAGES CASE. William John summoned Captain J. Pearn, owner of the smack Mary, of Milford, for ba!ance of wages due to him. Captain Pearn said he knew nothing of the matter, as it was the master of the vessel, Captain Thomas, had engaged him, and he (Captain Pearn) thought he was not liable; the magistrates, however, said they thought differently. William John deposed that he shipped in the Mary at C2 10s per month, working coastwise; that he had served in her two months, save one day; had received E3 2s. on account, when Captain Thomas told him his services were no longer required he then asked for his money; Captain Thomas told him he could not give it to him until he bad seen the owner, also that he did not think anything was due to him went to the owner, who said he was willing to pay him only to see Captain Thomas first. Captain Pearn here said that he agreed to give plaintiffs wife 10s per week on account, but he did not engage him to serve in the ship, neither did he know the terms Cap- tain Thomas had shipped him for. Captain Thomas sworn, said plaintiff came to him and wanted a berth agreed to give him X2 5s. per month if he was competent; this was the amount he asked for; when we went to sea, I gave him the helm offSt Gowan's Head; found the ship out of her course; asked him how her head was; he replied he did not know asked him if he could box the compass; he said, no he was also sea-sick (this the plaintiff strenuously denied) we went to Brisiol; told him to furl the gaff-topsail, when he told me he would see me d- first; bad called at several places on the voyage from Pembroke Dock. to Bristol and back. The magistrates said that if the man bad been incompe- tent the captain could have shipped another man, as he had called at so many places, and, by keeping the man two months, they were clearly of the opinion that the owner was liable. Verdict for £1 6s and 5s 6d costs, to be paid im- mediately. BREAKING WINDOWS. Moses Oram charged Lettice James, an unfortunate, with breaking a window at his house, the Adelphi Inn, Pembroke Dock, on the night of the 7th instant. Oram deposed that the prisoner came into his house about 10 p.m.; had something to drink, and wanted to fight with a Mrs Ashton he desired her to be quiet, but she persisted in keeping a noise; he then pushed her out- side the door; she then picked up a stone, and using it as a hammer, struck him in the head and then broke the window; I then went out, but she ran away, crying 'murder;' prisoner denied the charge, but found her arm bleeding very much (prisoner's arm was bound up). Samuel Bagshaw, plasterer, sworn, said he was passing by the Adelphi, and witnessed the prisoner pick up a stone and strike Oram on the head, and then break the windows with it. Prisoner said that the witness was in the dancing-room all the evening, and could not possibly see what took place. This the witness positively denied, saying hat he never was in the house, and that he was no dancer. His Worship severely cautioned the landlord, Oram, about the disreputable house he kept, and told him he must be careful or he would lose his license. He then said: Lettice James, we are of opinion that you broke the window, but, taking into consideration the provoca- tion you received, we dismiss the case, each to pay their own costs. RECEIVING STOLEN PROPERTY. Sergeant Stephen Poplett, 85th Regiment, charged TPilliatn Roach, private in the 45th Regiment, stationed at the Curragh, with receiving a silver spoon, knowing it to have been stolen, about July, 1861. Sergeant Poplett deposed that he was in charge of the officers' mess, 8th depot battalion, hut encampment, Pem- broke Dock, in June, 1861; the same month he went to Penally, leaving Corporal Cooper in charge of the mess during the time he was away; had information when at Penally that a silver spoon was missing, the property of the 5th Regiment; heard that some silver had been found at Tenby obtained a warrant, and, accompanied by Mr Superintendent Kelly, went there Kelly went to Mr Truscott's shop, who produced the spoon (shown) broken as it is now; can swear to the identity of the spoon from the letter V being upon it, the Roman. numeral for the lumber of the regiment. Cross-examined: The silver is kept, when clean, in the officers' messroom; when dirty in an outer pantry; might got at without much difficulty. Thomas Kelly said he had a warrant; prisoner had left Tenby; went to Mr Truscott's shop, who said be bought 'be ooc-Saftcht o» the Sth^risoaer returned, and he apprehended him on the 10th at the Vine, he being on furlough. Alfred Truscott said that he asked the per- son who brought him the silver where he got it from; he replied that is was not his, but that it was all right; gave a trifle for the silver, and kept it, intending to give it to Dr Sutton Dr Sutton had had it in his possession sometime; cannot say the prisoner is the man, he is so much altered since that time; af that time he had neither' whiskers, or moustache, now he has both, so that I can- not positivelv swear. much altered since that time; af that time he had neither' whiskers, or moustache, now he has both, so that I can- Here Mr G.W. Dunn, the attorney for the prosecution) said I beg to withdraw the charge. Case dismissed. The prisoner was defended by Mr W. 0. Hulm in a very able manner. Mr Hulm applied for iloach's fur- lough to be restored to him, wbiijh his Worship imme- diately granted. (Before R. Dunn, Esq, chairman, Dr Mansell, and the Rev G. H. Thomas.) TRESPASSING. David Williams appeared on remand since last Satur- day, charged with trespassing in search of game on the land of N. Roach, Rsq, Paskeston, on the 30th ult. John Corain, coachman to Mr Roch, said he was driving the carriage down Blackberry-lane, with another servant by his side; saw two men catching rabbits; they had a lurcher dog with them when they saw me they gathered up their nets; I cannot swear the prisoner is the man I spoke to. William Cole, footman to thecomplainant, corroborated the coachman's statement in every particular, and said that he found a bag (produced) with two rabbits in it; could swear the prisoner was the man knew his name to be Williams, but when I asked his name in the field he said it was James Thomas. George Oakley, for prisoner, said that on the 30th ult himself and prisoner were engaged by Mr A. B. Harries taking over, in a barge, a boiler, from Neyland to Pater. A previous conviction for the same offence wa.s proved. ~The magistrates convicted the prisoner in 10s fine and 9s 6d costs, or one month's imprisonment. Prisoner was taken away declaring that he should try it in a higher court.
