OAR MAR THE N.
OAR MAR THE N. UNITED COUNTIES SOCIETY. SHOW OF HUNTERS. President: Right Hon. Earl Cawdor. Ron. Sec. W. E. B. Gwyn, Esq, Plas Cwrthir. To those specially interested in the breeding of horses, splendid sight awaited them on Tuesday last, in the Tyattle Market, Carmarthen, that day having been fixed for the second annual show of hunters and colts, which had been entered for prizes amounting to £ 200 offered by the United Counties Society. All horses competing ^ere restricted to Carmarthenshire, Cardiganshire, and ■Pembrokeshire, and must be got by thoroughbred sires, each entry to be accompanied by a certificate of age, weeding name of sire, breeder, &c, and when we state Jnat no less than eighty-nine animals were entered.it will well for the improvement of the breed of horses in South Wales, The Judges of the show were the Hon. Frederick Mor- Tredegar Park, Monmouthshire, Edward Bearcroft, Mere Hall, Droitwicb, Worcester, and William 2^1) Esq, Bubney, Shropshire. The weather was drA UnPropitious for tbe show; the rain fell in torrents, wenching one and all, but even the elements did not th« tlie Presence °f a host of laaies, who assembled on arid remained for hours in the show yard, wiring tbe ahimals OB they were being judged. 011 co.mPetit'ons f°r prizes were divided into eight T'z> 'or best Hunter, six years or aged, ditto yea„a f8» ditto four years, ditto three years, ditto two ttAtr.ij 'or Hunter Mare, four years and *i lor (be best fluuter, five years aai upwards, bred in the counties of Carmarthen, Cardigan, am Pembroke; for the beat hunter, four years old, restricte, to the same counties, and prizes of £2() and L5 given b.< the Earl of Cawdor. It will be seen by the list that two prizes (the Society's and Earl Cawdor's) were to bi awarded to the best four year olds, and a slight misun derstanding arose as to the distribution of these prizes The noble Earl did not intend that his prizes of £20 at" XS should go to the two best four year olds that won th, tociety's first and second prizes of X25 and £10, and it was very happily arranged that the best four year old should receive the society's prize ofj625, the second best. Earl Cawdor's prize of £20, the third, the socieyV prize of £10, and the fourth, the noble president's prize of £ 5. The first-class, for six year old and aged hunters, was very well represented, and contained eighteen entries. The judges however had not much difficulty in awardim; the prize to Fairyland, by Zouave, the property ot W R. H. Powel), Esq, Maesgwynne. As thoroughbred as Eclipse, and possessing a form perfect in proportions and symmetry, be was the admired of all admirers, and well earned his laurels. The class was all good Baron de Rutzen's Langton, by Langton, being highly commended, and Mr Lort Phillips, M.P.'s Hercules, by Anthracite, commended by the judges. Mr Morgan Jones's Sky- lark, by Langton, was also much admired, and is well known in the Tivy Side as a perfect hunter; and Daisy, the winner of the Open Steeple Chase at Carmarthen, last February, the property of Mr Powell, also came in for his meed of praise. The second class, for the best hunter, five years old, was not so respectable a lot as the last, the entries being only ten, and the style inferior. Major Lewis obtained the first prize of £ '20, with his mare Magic, by Touchwood, which we admired exceedingly, although we thought her rather small for a heavy weight. MrJ. Thomas, Glanyrhynys's took the second prize, with a very haDdsome and strong gelding, Hylas, by Cheops, and Air Essex Harries's Spinner, by Portobeilo, Mr F. Clarke's black gelding, by Confidence, and Mr R. R Carver's Tenpence, by Confidence, were much admired. The third class, for the best hunter, four years old, certainly contained a magnifictnt lot of animals, there being no less than thirty entries, and all beins good ones. The judges bad considerable difficulty in deciding the prizes. The number, too, was extraordinary, :or it is well known in this county that at this age horses are snapped up by English dealers and taken away to other markets. As the horses were led round the ring each one was carefully surveyed, and his respective points and merits discussed. It certain;y was a noble sight to see these thirty nags with their necks proudly arched and heads erect parading the ring, but the judges had a solemn duty to perform, and the string soon got smaller hy degrees and beautifully less until only six remained. Of these Mr Thomas Russell's Sportsman, by John o'Gaunt, a beautiful dark chestnut, and which gained the first prize last year as the best three year old at this show, sustained his well deserved reputation, and gained the first prize of £25. Mr H. G. Allen, of Cochyland, took Lord Cawdor's prize of X20 with Count Horn, by Trumpeter, a noble chestnut thoroughbred, with free and springy action, and splendid points. It was only after a considerable amount of hesitation that the judges were I able to pronounce their verdict between these two. Mr Arthur Jones, o fpenyrallt, took the third prize of £10, with his chestnut horse Rob Roy, by Pontifex, out of a splendid Yorkshire mare well known in Cardigan- shire. He was a large and powerful nag, and will become no doubt, a first-class weight-carrying hunter. Mr D. Thomas, Derllys, gained the 4th prize of £5 with Invest. ment, by Confessor, a very fine and handsome gelding. The other horses in thia class which received the more or less admiring criticisms of the spectators were Mr Allen's Cardinal, by Pontifex, Mr Madock's two, Stone Hall, and Railroad, Mr W. R. H. Powell's the Friar, Mr Par- ker's Bcllhill, Mr Saurin's St Coleman, by Pontifex, Mr Standerswick's gelding by Pontifex, and Mr Gwyther's Hoplas, by Sirius indeed, the whole lot were as we said before all good. Class four, for the best colt, three years old, also con- tained a splendid lot, Mr R. Walters carrying the palm with his magnificent colt The Watchman, by Pontifex, and Mr Daniel Roberts, of Newton, gained a well merited second prize with Master Jonathan, byCashbox. Out of the fourteen entries those most admired were Mr Owen Philipp's, Treriffith, Jacob, by Pontifex, Mr A. Lort Phillips's, Glanarberth, by Pontifex, and Mr H. Law's, Ffrwd, Luna, Urmston. Class five, for the best colt two years old, contained no less than seventeen entries, many of which were beautiful animals. Major Lewis, of Clynfiew, and Mr Powell, of Maesgwyn, put to the severest test the capabilities of the judges with their colts, Hotspur, by Hospodar, and the Abbot, by the Confessor. They certainly were two of the most perfect pictures, and although there were several other very good ones, a glance was sufficient that either of these must be placed 1st and 2nd. Eventually, Major Lewis was awarded the JE15 prize, and Mr Powell .£5. Of tha others which were considered worthy of ad- miration were Mr D. G. Davies's, Castle Green, The Doctor, by Hospodar, Mr Owen Philipps's Sarah, by Hos- podar, Mr D Thomas's, Derllys, Third Attempt, by Langton, Mr D. Jones's, M.P., Maida, by Langton, and Mr John Scourfield's Young Pegasus, by Pegasus. The 1st prize for the best hunter mare, four years old and a&ed, was won by Major Lewis's b.m., Magic, the heroine of class 2; and the second by Mr Geo Gwyther's Hoplas. A prize of X20 for the best hunter, five years and up- wards, bred in the counties of Carmarthen, Cardigan, and Pembroke, was given to Langton, the property of Baron F. de Rutzen, of Slebech, and bred by his brother Albert de Rutzen, Esq.

A SUBMARINE PRESCRIPTION,-—Amongst the uses to which the Atlantic cable has been put is one which would hardly be anticipated. A correspondent com- municates to us a telegram which he received from a patient who, being seized with a renewed attack of an illness from which he had suffered in this country, and for which he had been successfully treated, telegraphed to his old medical attendant for directions. These were returned by the same channel without delay, and we hope they may have prospered, and that the proper re- mittance will follow by an early packet. This prescrip- tion will rank among ths curiosities 01 telegraphy.— LanctU j. MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT ON BOARD THE GREAT ILASTKRN,—On Friday the Liverpool deputy coroner held III inquest on the body of John Marsh, late a seaman on loard the Great Eastern, who died the previous day from the effects of injuries received on board the big ship on the morning of the 21st. It appears that Captain Ander- son, on leaving his ship that day, granted permission to the crew to fire a salute, and while doing so one of the car- fridgeo exploded in the gun and fatally injured the deceased. A verdict of Accidental Death was returned. FATAL RESULT OF INTEMPERANCE,—On Thursday an inquest was held at the committee-rooms, Fountain-court, Winories, on the body of John Kennedy, aged one month. On Tuesday previous the parents of the child went to bed in a beastly state of intoxication, and some time afterwards the poor child was found dead on the floor near the bed. The cause of death was extravasation on 'he brain, the result of an injury. After some delibera- tion the jury returned the following verdict :-That the deceased. John Kennedy, was accidentally killed, and the jury desire to censure the father and mother of the child for getting drunk. A MAN BURIED ALIVE.-A man named Vaughan was engaged in getting stone from a quarry, at Lane Side, Forest of Dean, a few days aj>o, when a land slip took place, and he was buried beneath a mass of rubbish. At one o'clock in the day the wife of deceased went to the quarry with his dinner, but could not find her husband, she noticed his coat and the dog near, and endeavoured to get the dog away, but failed. She returned home. and in the course of the afternoon, a relation, apprehensive that something serious had happened, went to the place. The faithful dog was still sitting on the bank, occasion- ally howling. Having looked at the earth which had fallen, she felt convinced her brother-in-law was under it. Ultimately assistance was obtained, and after re- moving a few burrows full of earth the unfortunate deceased was found dead, with his head frightfully bruised. The poor wife on hearing of it became insen- sible. The dog. who had not forsaken his master, wailed in a most piteous manner. Deceased has left a large family. AN ECCENTRIC CHARACTER.—Mr J. Carlyon, one of the county coroners of Cornwall, held an inquest a few days ago on the body offienry Nicholls, a well educated man, who had for some years followed the occupation of a schoolmaster, but who for the last four years had secluded himself from the world in a moat eccentric fashion. Ha purchased a ship's launch, which be tieoked over and converted into a sailing boat, in which he lived alone, having no communication with the outer world except when compelled to go on shore for necessaries. During the summer months he cruised about the coast, and in winter he laid up in some creek. The boat was badly injured by the gales last winter,'and since that time he has lain in Myler Creek, near Falmouth. Not having been seen on deck for several days, the boat was boarded by a cousin of Nicholls, who lives at Mylor. On entering the cabin he found the deceased on the bed with his head hanging down on the floor. He was quite dead, and held a revolver pistol in his hand H-.i had shot himself in the mouth, and had been dead several days. The coroner's jury returned a verdict of I Terti- porary insanity.' DISGRACEFUL DISCLOSURES AT OXFORD -Some dis- graceful disclosures have been made in Oxford of the practice of sending new-born children to dry nurses, where they die of inanition and debility from being deprived of the natural support of their mothers. A nurse named Chard having applied for certificates and registers of death more frequently than usual, the case was brought under the notice of Mr W. Bruner, coroner, and an inquiry was instituted into the death of a female child, committed by its mother to h rcare. The inquest was opened on Tuesday, and adjourned for further evi- dence. The adjourned inquiry was held on Friday, when the registrar of births and deaths stated that his attention had been for some time directed to the mystery surrounding the births of children in the care of Mrs Chard, as also to their frequent death and disappearance. It appeared that the deceased was the illegitimate daughter of a respectable person, the father was un- known, and the baby was registered in an assumed name in order to conceal its parentage. The coroner's officer described the condition of the house to be filthy in the extreme, and the children there were so emaciated and dirty as to be scarcely recognisable as human beings. The jury returned a verdict to the effect that deceased was lound in a house totally unfit for habitation that it died from debility that the practice of medical men recommending children to be sent to such a place was censurable in the highest degree. THE PRISONS AT VENICE.—I have just visited the prisons for criminals here, the piombi poazi, and prigioni, as they are called, attracted principally, I must admit, by the extraordinary stories related of them. As is usual in such cases, I was greatly disappointed by finding, instead of the sombre dungeons I expected, only same very commonplace houses of detention. For example, the name of pozzi (wells) has been very improperly given to the cells of the Ducal Palace, as the lowest of them are scarcely deeper than the level of the court-yard of the building; they have, no doubt, been often occupied, as their walls are covered with inscriptions. From the pozzi the prisons are reached from the Palace by the Bridge of Sighs, which is also undeserving of the reputation it epjoys. It is indeed only a covered and closed gallery, which dates 1597 at the earliest; many archaeologists even declare that it was only terminated in 1610, so that in that case it is only 256 years old, and nothing in it reminds the spectator of the bloody tragedies said by certain authors to have taken place there. The prisons consist of a massive stone building. The front which looks on the canal, is of a heavy and severe aspect; the other, on the contrary, which faces the quay, is very elegant, and is composed of two orders of architecture- Doric on the upper story and Rustic on the ground floor It may contain 500 prisoneis, and 30 years ago was con- sidered as the most healthy of similar establishments in Europe. At present it is empty. I was anxious to visit the small chamber occupied by Silvio Pellico, and I cannot describe the impression I felt in finding it as it is described in the Miei J'rigioni, with its two windows, one large and the other small, looking on the private houses opposite, and on the patriarchal palace to the left, with a partial view of Venice and the lagoon in the distance. One might have supposed that the cell was just as he had left it; the bed, small table, and chair were still there, with the water jug in the corner. Poor Silvio! There it was that he passed the cruellest hours of bis confine- ment. As I do not profess an excessive liking for prisons I did not prolong my visit, and was pleased to find myself once more on the Piazetta. May the Italian Government, when it is at Venice, not employ the pozzi, piombi, and prigioni otherwise than as at present-that is, as a sight for strangers.-—Lyons Paper. FENIAN PLAN OF CAMPAIGN.—The Toronto Globe cor. respondent at the Troy Congress gives the following sketch of the Fenian scheme:—'There are hundreds of Fenians hanging around Canadian cities at the present moment. On a given day or night they will make a rising, certain towns will be fired, and wherever there is an ODportunity of doing so with success arms and military stores will be seized. At the same time feints will be made at Fort Erie or Windsor, and at some place on the upper St. Lawrence. As soon as troops are sent off to these points the railroads and telegraphs will be cut. It is calculated that by this means the country will be thrown into a frightful commotion, the troops will be scattered, all means of communication will be cut oft and the people will be in a comparatively defenceless condition. Then, and not till then. will the grand attack be made. Two armies will advance into the country-one in Lower and one in Upper Canada. The Lower Canada wing will advance with all possible speed upon Montreal, from which it is calculated all troops will have been sent to meet the raiders on the Upper St. Lawrence. The city captured, all public property will be seized, all vessels in the harbour taken possession of, and the Irish flag raised. The Upper Canada army will come in either at Godericb, Sarnia, Windsor, or at some point on the Niagara river; it will depend upon the feint. If it has been made at Windsor, the army will enter at Fort Erie, Goderich, or perhaps Collingwood; or it the feint be made at either of these places, the army will enter at some distant point. It will strike at once for Toronto, which, as in the case of Montreal, it is hoped will left undefended, the troops having been sent away to meet the feint, and being unable to ge: back on account of the railroad connexion being out off. With Toronto and Montreal as bases of operation, troops will be sent out and proclamations will be issued announcing the capture of the province and deolaring it to be the territory of the Irish Republic. The rights of private property will be respected, and all per- sons found plundering will be severely punished. Ail provisions and horses seized will be paid for when Fenian authority is completely established. Having thus gained a foothold in the country, they expect swarms of Ameri- cans to join them, with whose assistance the troops will be found in detail and overcome. Canada will then be thoroughly captured, a Fenian provisional Government will be established, local rulers appointed, and the peopl. lazed for the enppprt of the now order of things. A VEGETABLE KING. —Tne annual ceremony of crowning the king of the pumpkins at the Central Markets, Paris, took place on Friday. The vegetable which obtained the honour this year weighed 258 pounds, and measured 10 feet 4 inches in circumference. It waa grown at Gonease (Seine et Oise). THE SIGN OF THK WHITE HART.—The White Hart is a common sign enough, but it has a curious origin, which is thus described by the authors of t he 4 History of Sign- boards;'—The origin of this White Hart, with a collar of gold round its neck, dates from the most remote antiquity. Aristotle reports that Diomedes consecrated a white hart to Diana, which, a thousand years after was killed by Agathocles, king of Sicily. Pliny states that it was Alexander the Great, who caught a white stag and placed a collar of gold round its neck. This marvellous story highly pleased the fancy of the mediaeval writers, always in quest of the wonderful. They substituted Julius Ctesar for Alexander the Great, and transplanted the fable to western regions, in consequence of which various countries now claim the honour 01 having produced the white hart, collared with gold. One was said to have been caught in Windsor Forest, another ou Rothwell Haigh Common, in Yorkshire, a third at Senlis,in France, and a fourth at Magdeburg. This last was killed by Charlemagne. The same emperor is said to have caught a white stag in the woods of Holstein, and to have attached the usual golden collar round its neck. More than three centuries after in 1173, this animal was killed by Henry the Lion, and the whole story is, to this day, recorded in a Latin inscription on the walls of Lubeck Cathedral. THE FREEMASONS IN FRANCE.- The Paris Siecle says: —' The utmost latitude, up to the present day, has been accorded to Freemasons. They have been in the habit of discussing at their meetings all sorts of philosophical questions. The Avenir Lodge of Paris had instituted a committee of free-thinkers, whose opinions had been adopted by the whole body. They admitted no other truths but those that are demonstrated by reason; no other moral law but that which is sanctioned by con- science. They believed that truth and justice thus manifested were the only rules of life, an incentive to virtue, a principle of civilisation, the affirmation of human dignity, and a guide for the accomplishment of the progressive mission of man. They declared that, whilst they respected the liberty of every man on aU religious questions, they only repudiate dogmatic and revealed religions as being at the present day the negation. of conscience and reason. They took an engagement to die out of the pale of all religious creeds. In conse- quence of its promulgation of those views, the Grand Master of the Masonic Order in France, General Mellinet, has suspended the Avenir Lodge for a term which the council of the order has limited to six months. Tha decree is grounded on the following considerations: 'Freemasonry respects the religions laith and the poli- tical opinions of each of its members, but it formally ii)terdicts to its assemblies any discussion of religious or political subjects which may be calculated to give rise to a controversy on different religions, or to a criticism on the acts of the civil authority and the different forms of government. We can understand that lojges ought not to be transformed into clubs; but'the examination of philosophical doctrines has always been tolerated, even under the ancient regime. The most implacable enemies of Freemasonry arj the Ultramoutanes, who threw on them the responsibility of all revolutions and all ideas of progress. It is to he regretted that the Ultramon- tanes should find adherents among the superior authori- ties of the order.'

Thomas Butler, of Abys- tree, for taking salmon with an illegal net in the Eastern Cleddau, on the 8th inst. P.S. Irving, on being sworn, said: On the night of the 8th of September inst., I was near Liawhaden Bridge, at the river called Eastern Cleddau, about eleven o'clock at night, when I saw the defendant in company with another man with two cora- cles on their backs: the other man was William Phillips. I did not know him then, but I knew him afterwards. I watched them up to Llawhaden weir, and saw them put a net out and fish down to Liawhaden Bridge. I saw them take a salmon out on the Talybont side of tbe river near the arch. I saw them again fish near the Arch on the Mill side, and take another fish. I watched them fishing down near Abystree, I saw them land. I caught them after they landed, and Butler had in his possession the net now produced, which net is less than two inches from knot to knot. The coracle was on his back. I took the coracle and net from him. The per- son who was with him, William Phillips, had two salmon in his possession in a coracle on his back. I took pos- session of the coracles and salmon.-At this stage of the proceedings Mr W. V. James (who appeared for both defendants) said that the evidence was so strong against his clients that he would plead guilty to all the cases of fishing, except that of Thomas Llewellyn for having fbh in his possession for sale.

The Sanitary Committee was held at the Town Hall, on the 20th inst. Present: T. Griffiths, Esq, in the -chair, J. L. G. P. Lewis, J. M. Child, B. r. Williams, G. B. Allen, and A. Shield, Esqs, Messrs. Blathwayt, and Thomas Griffiths, &o. The different inspectors gave in their report, which showed a decrease of the disease in each district. Mr Lewis then explained the charge against Sergt. Royle at the last Board of Guardians, and called upon Dr. Richards to proceed with the business. There were two charges, one for inhumanity and the other for in- efficiency. The following is the evidence given by the witnesses Ann Thomas deposed: Sergeant Royle burnt a dust bed, two sheets, blanket, counterpane, a shawl, dress flannel shirt, drawers, flannel waistcoat, and some small changes of the children. They were burnt by the fluid that he put on them. They were not on my husband's bed. I did not see them, but when a neighbour went to wash them they were all to pieces. Mary Llewellyn deposed I was at my sister's house, Ann Thomas, who is now a widow. Mr Royle oame there and asked how the children were.
