T E N B Y. SA UNDERSFOOT. -On Tuesday week a lad of the name of -t rah erne, who was engaged in driving a waggon on the tramway, laden with pig iron, narrowly escaped a very fierious, if not fatal accident. We learn that the lad was "ding on the waggon, and in getting down put his foot on one of the wheels. His foot slipping, it went between the flat of the wheel and the rail, breaking the and crushing the fore part of the foot; providentially fe escaped the flange of the wheel or the foot would have °een amputated. On Tuesday evening week a boat, with ten young men, from Saundersfoot to Tenby. They started on their j^urn voyage at 3 a.m. of the following morning, and as *Qey bad not reached thoir destination by the following considerable anxiety was felt by the relatives as to «eir safety. About three o'clock of the afternoon it was tbnerally believed that an accident had happened, and Wh y*10'6 party had met with a watery grave, and the 'e °f the neighbouring coast was scoured with eager ba? the wives, mothers, and sisters of the missing At last when hope had almost died away from most sanguine, a boat was seen some eight or nine the l distam> which, on its nearer approaoh proved to be tvei ones. A crowd met them on their arrival and (w £ 0me<I their return with cheers.

We can only say that by reason of the running from Carmarthen to Whitland being over the South Wales the inhabitants of the district and of Carmarthen in particular will have to regret the loss of a great many advantages which a separate line would have afforded them. The following is the telegram to which we refer above :—'Pembroke and Tenby bill; preamble proved. But promoters have agreed that the portion between Whitland and the junction of Pembroke and Tenby into Carmarthen shall not be made if Great Western Company lay down the narrow gauge immediately and concede full running powers. Great Western Company have agreed to do this.'—Carmarthen Journal.

CARDIGAN BARONETCY OF PRYSE PRYSE, ESQ., OF GOGERDDAN. -We perceive by the London Gazette of Tuesday week that the Queen has been pleased to confer the dignity of Baronet of Great Britain and Ireland upon Pryse Pryse, Esq., of Gogerddan, in the county of Cardigan. Sir Pryse Pryse's name is among a batch of other gentlemen, this dignity being one of the last acts of Earl Russell frior to his retirement from power. MONEY STOLEN BY A FOWL AT LAMPETER.—A strange occurrence happened on the evening of Wednes- day last, at the Fountain Inn, Lampeter. Mr John Price, the landlord, was asked by his wife to test the genuineness of a J-a)f.sovereign which bad been given her to change. Mr Price did so by striking it against a stone on the floor; the coin rolled about on the floor, but could not afterwards be found. There was no person in the house at the time, but it was observed that a hen belonging to Mr Price strolled about at the time, and suspicion fell on her of having appropriated the missing article to her own use. She was therefore condemned to die, and on a post mortem examination being made, the stolen property was found.
CARMARTHEN.
CARMARTHEN. CHURCH CHORAL UNION OF THE ARCHDEACONRY OF CARMARTHEN.—The choirmaster, Mr Scotson Clark, late Professor of the Royal Academy of Music, organist of Exeter College, Oxford, has begun his rounds training the choirs of the Union. Twenty-five choirs have been enrolled, of which twenty-two are receiving instructions, the others declining to be trained till next. year. Those who have had opportunities of hearing Mr Clark teach consider him most successful in imparting instruction. He has great skill in managing a large class, possesses a clear and pleasant voice of great compass, is able to sing any part, and has evidently an excellent ear. In short, the choral Union of the Archdeaconry appears to bave been particularly fortunate in securing his services. He would seem to possess all the essential qualifications of a good choirmaster. The Festival Service of the Union is, we understand, fixed for Oct. 3rd, and the Lord Bishop of the Diocese has promised to preach on the occasion. The book of music to be sung at the festival is expected to be ready in less than a week, and may be had of Messrs Novello, 69, Dean-street, Soho, for 6d. The work of the Union is now going on in a most satisfactory manner. If a few persons at first erroneously supposed that it was the movement of a party in the church, that error, it is hoped has now been completely dispelled. Clergymen and laymen of every variety of religious opinion have promised zealous support. The list of patrons of the Union contains the names of nobility and gentlemen of the highest position atid influence in the Archdeaconry, such as Lord Dynevor, Lord Cawdor, Sir James Hamilton, Bart, Mr W. Morris, M P., Mr D. Pugh, M.P., Mr L. Dillwyn, M P., Mr David Jones, M.P., Mr T. C. Morris, high sheriff for Carmarthenshire. The president is the Venerable the Archdeacon of Car- marthen. We understand the movement is warmly sup- ported everywhere in the archdeaconry, and that there is every prospect at present that the work will be more successfully done than migbthave been anticipated under the circumstances. The choirmaster reports favourably of most of the choirs he has visited.

DR JOHNSON'S LAST INTERVIEW…
DR JOHNSON'S LAST INTERVIEW WITH WILLIAM WINDHAM. In the recently published Diary of the Right Hon. William Windham we find under date 7th of December, 1784:— After waiting some time in the adjoining room, I was admitted to Dr Johnson in his bed chamber, where, after placing me next him on the chair, he sitting in his usual place on the east side of the room (and I on the right hand), he put into my hands two small volumes (an edition of the New Testament), as be afterwards told me, saying- Extremum hoc manus morientis habeio (Take thou this last gift from the hand of a dying friend.) He then proceeded to observe that I was entering upon a life which would lead me deeply into all the business of the world that he did not condemn civil employment, but that it was a state of great danger—and that he had therefore one piece of advice earnestly to impress upon me—that I would set apart every seventh day for the care of my soul; the one day, the seventh, should be employed in repenting what was amiss in the six preceding, and fortifying my virtue for the six to come that such a portion of time was surely little enough for the meditation of eternity. He then told me that he had a request to make to me, namely, that I would allow his servant Frank to look up to me as a friend, adviser, and protector in all difficulties which his own weakness and imprudence, or the force or fraud of others might bring him into. He said he had left him what he thought an ample pro- vision, viz., zC70 per annum; but that even that sum might not place him above the want of a pro- tector, and to me therefore he recommended him, as to one who had will, and power, and activity to protect him. Having obtained my assent to this, he proposed that Frank should be called in, and desiring me to take him by the hand in token of Z!l the promise, repeated before him the recommenda- tion he had just made of him, and the promise I had given to attend to it. I then took occasion to say how much I felt, what I had long foreseen that I should feel, regret at having spent so little of my life in his company. I stated this as an instance where resolutions are deferred till the occasions are past. For some time past I bad determined that such an occasion of self-reproach should no longer subsist, and had built upon the hope of passing in his society the chief part of my time, at the moment when it was to be apprehended we were about to lose him for ever. I had no difficulty of speaking to him thus of my apprehen- sions; I could not help, on the other hand, enter- taining hopes; but with these I did not like to trouble him, lest he should conceive that I thought it necessary to flatter. He answered hastily that he was sure I would not; and proceeded to make a compliment to the manliness of my mind, which, whether deserved or not, ought to be remembered that it may be deserved. I then stated that, among other neglects, was the omission of introducing of all others, the most important, the consequence of which particularly filled my mind at that moment, and on which I had often been desirous to know his opinions. The subjects I meant were, I said, I natural and revealed religion.' The wish thus generally stated was in part gratified on the in- stant. For revealed religion, he said, there was such historical evidence as, upon any subject not religious, would have left no doubt. Had the facts recorded in the new Testament been mere civil occurrences, no one would have called in question the testimony by which they are established. But the importance annexed to them, amounting to nothing less than the salvation of mankind, raised a cloud in our minds, and created doubt unknown upon any other subject, Of proofs to be derived from history, one of the most cogent, he seemed to think, was the opinion so well authenticated and so long entertained, of a Deliverer that was to ap- pear about that time. Among the typical repre. sentations, the sacrifice of the paschal lamb, in which no bone was to be broken, had early struck his mind. For the immediate life and miracles of Christ; such attestation as that of the apostles, who all, except St John. confirmed their testimony by their blood; such belief astheir witness procured from a people best furnished with the means of judging, and least disposed to judge favourably such an extension afterwards of that belief over all the nations of the earth, though originating from a nation of all others the most despised, would leave no doubt that the things witnessed were true, and were of a nature more than human. With respect to evidences, Dr Johnson observed, we had no such evidence that Ctesar died in the Capitol as that Christ died in the manner related. A LADY ABBESS of a convent at Acquaviva, where a body of Garibaldians was lately quartered, has addressed a letter to Colonel Nicotera, thanking him and the men under his orders for their exem- plary conduct during their stay in the convent. The nuns,' she adds, were all greatly edified at; their conduct; the night passed in the greatest quiet, and not a fly was to be heard. It looked not like a soldier's quarters, but like the lodgings of men who sleep in the peace of the Lord.' SERIOUS ACCIDENT TO A TOURIST AT LOCII Lo- MOND.-On Tuesday forenoon three young gentle- men after viewing the scenery on Loch Lomond, resolved to proceed from Tarbet to Inverary on foot. After passing Arrochar a short distance they changed this resolution, and turned to their left with the view of crossing the summit of the range of mountains lying between the road they were traversing and Lochgoilhead, which they hoped to reach before night, one of the party being pretty well acquainted, it seems, with the geo- graphical position of the locality. A close mist rested on the upper portion of the mountains, and the travellers became bewildered. On however, they wandered, until they became completely ex- hausted, and to add to their uncomfortable posi- tion, the shades of evening came on. About nine o'clock one of the party, a draughtsman, we be- lieve, named Shepherd, belonging to London, on passing the brink of a ravine, his foot slipped, and rolled down the steep bank for a distance of about forty yards. With difficulty his companions cau- tiously wended their way circuitously to the bottom of the ravine, fully expecting to find the dead body of their friend. Fortunately their fears were not realised: Mr Shepherd escaped with his life, but was found lying insensible, and bleeding from several severe injuries which he bad received. Mr Shepherd recovered consciousness in the course of half an hour, when it was resolved to make the best of it they could where they were till daylight, when they wended their way down the ravine, Mr Shepherd being supported by his two friends, when Z, they ultimately, about six o'clock on Wednesday morning, reached the road which they had left the Z, previous forenoon—the party returning to Glas- gow, in order that Mr Shepherd, who was unable to pursue the journey farther with his friends, might have his injuries attended to.-Noreli British Daily Mail. About 250,000 oysters have been laid down on the new oyster beds at Pooie, in Dorsetshire. The beds are now covered with spawn. A singular case of juvenile crime has been tried at Warwick assizes. A boy of sixteen, named Warwick, deliberately shot a companion a little older than himself, with whom he bad always been on good terms, in con- sequence of a slight misunderstanding. He was found guilty of manslaughter only, and was sentenced to twelve months' imprisonment, which the mother of the deceased boy, who was her only son, declared in court was inadequate as a punishment for his crime. A SOUND SLEEPER ON A RAILWAY,—The Senonais relates a singular accident on the Lyons Railway, near Mormant (Yonne). A watchman named Pres- tat had returned to his post about three in the morning, after having accompanied his wife to a neighbouring fete, and feeling fatigued he sat down on the top of the embankment which skirts the line. There he fell asleep, and slipped on to the permanent way in such a manner that his right leg lay across the outer rail. While in that position a train passed and severed the limb below the knee, and also injured the left heel. Strange to say, the man does not appear to have been immediately aware of the accident, and only discovered his situation when he awoke and attempted to get up. He then called for assistance, and was removed to the nearest hospital, where the amputation of the right leg was found to be necessary. The man is t, going on well. SERIOTI3 OFFENCE.-At the Berks assizes, at Abingdon, on Wednesday, Neville Masklyne Toomer, a widower, was charged with committing a rape upon Georgians Partridge, a young lady who had resirled with him as housekeeper. When be engaged Miss Partridge he told her that he had a daughter, and that he occasionally let apartments; but she found that the daughter was away from home, and that no one occupied the apartmants. After she had been in the house a few weeks, Mr Toomer took advantage of being alone with her in the drawing room toattemptan assi'iilton her. She successfully resisted him. Miss Partridge packed up her clothes the next morning, and would have left the house had not the prisoner by threats and promises of better conduct in- duced her to stay. A few nights afterwards he made his way to her bedroom and committed the offence with which he now stood charged. A servant, who was in the room adjoining heard knocks on the wall, but no screams; and a. iauudry woman gave evidence to the effect that the prosecutrix had stated she would have said nothing about her master's conduct if he bad given her ,£20. The case occupied the court a long time. Mr Justice Shee hummed up very carefully; and the jury, after having been locked up tor five hours, returned a verdict of guilty. The prisoner was sentenced to fifteen. years' penal servitude.

LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.
brought up before the magistrates on the 4th of November. I don't know the prisoner had been a tailor. Men in the yard frequently work in jackets made out of that material. When men want jackets, they must apply to the boatswain in the stores. William Wakeford, examined by Mr De Rutzen: On the 1st of November I was superintendent of Metropolitan police at Pembroke Dockyard. I saw the last witness and the prisoner at the Station. I asked the prisoner to account for the possession of the canvas: he said he had found it under the brow of a building slip, and that he was making a jacket out of it for a boy. I received the articles from the last witness, and handed them over to Mr Payne when I left. C. H. Payne, examined by Mr Bowen: I am Inspector of Metropolitan Police. I received the canvas from Mr Superintendent Wakeford. John Radmore, examined by Mr De Rutzen The material produced is hammock sacking: it is old. There are two pieces of old canvas. They have the Government marks on them. On certain employ- ments the men are allowed to have jackets made of old canvas. I will not say they are never made of -old sacking. The jackets are lent to the workmen It is issued as a made article. 'Cross-examined by Mr Alien When launches take place stages are erected. A good deal of the material is laid down to carpet the gallery. They are old sails which have been condemned. Re-examined by Mr Bowen The material is re- turned to store. The whole of the old jackets are supposed to be returned it is possible a man may cut up an old jacket with which to mend another person's jacket. This was the case for the prosecution. John Davies, of Pembroke Dock, deposed that he had known the prisouer for 18 years, and that his character was very good. Mr Choncher, Mr Thomas Green, and Mr Birchin also gave the prisoner a good character. The Jury found the prisoner Not Guilty. GADSDEN V. POWELL. In this case, which involved a dispute between landlord and tenant, Mr Bowen, on the part of the plaintiff, applied to His Lordship to name an arbi- trator under the terms of an order made by Mr Justice Willes. Mr Gifford, who appeared for the defendant, opposed the application, stating that notice of trial had been served upon the defendant, who was prepared to proceed with the case. After some dis- cussion, His Lordship stated that he was inclined to the opinion that under the terms of the order an arbitrator was to be named by the Judge of the Assize, 'but that he was willing to hear the case. Ultimately, Mr Bowen withdrew the record. PEMBROKESHIRE QUARTER SESSIONS. An adjourned meeting was held at the Shire Hall on Saturday week, before John Harvey, Esq, J. P. Jones, Esq, and the Rev P. Phelp3. LITTLE NEWCASTLE FAIR. A license was granted for the holding of this fair, Which accordingly took place on the 10th instant. THE CATTLE PLAGUE. The following letter, received by the Clerk of the Peace, was laid before the Court PRIVY COUNCIL OFFICE, CATTLE PLAGUE DEPARTMENT, 7, Westminster Chambers, Victoria Street, S.W. 3rd July, 1866. Sir,-Several cases having come to the knowledge of the Privy Council, in which licences for the removal of cattle under the provisions of the Order in Council of the 24th March and 11th April, have been improperly granted, either through misapprehension or want of proper care on the part of those who granted them, I have been directed to request you to bring the subject under the notice of the Local Authority, that they may take such steps as may appear to them most desirable to prevent the movement of cattle, except in accordance With the spirit of the provisions of those Orders. In one locality it appears that 'fat stock' Jicences have been granted to a railway station, and that on arrival at that station the licence has either been revised, or a new one granted, enabling the animals to be moved to some other place than that for which the original licence was granted. In other cases the date has been omitted, the declarations detached and retained by thegranters of the licences, or the place to which the cattle are to proceed, too generally described. The restriction placed on the movement of cattle by the system of licences was imposed after very careful con- s'deration of the Privy Council, and it is in accordance Jjith the recommendations contained in the Reports of the Commission of Inquiry, into the origin, propagation, Mature, and treatment of the Cattle Plague. The Go- vernment may fairly expeot that all persons will endea- vour, in their several capacities, to give full effect to the Measures which have been deemed necessary to eradicate It disease which has proved a serious national disaster, and not permit those whom they can control either to infringe the law, or to be careless of their administration Of It. A licence for the removal of store stock can only be Slanted in England by a Justice of the Peace, and an in granting such a licence can only be supposed to the result of some misapprehension, or of some deceit £ a*ing been practised upon the Justice granting it. And fences in Scotland and the licences for fat stock in f'hgland can only be issued by those appointed by the tocal Authorities and removable by the Local Authori- ses if found to perform that duty carelessly. There appears, therefore, to be sufficient security that licences not be improperly issued, and it is hoped that on the attention of the Local Authorities of the district being ailed to the question, no further complaints will be re- Reived of cattle being removed with defective licences. I am, sir, your obedient Servant, H. D. HARNESS. The Clerk of the Peace, County of Pembroke.
