CONCERT.—On Friday evening a concert was given at the Temperance Hall, by the band of the 13th depot battalion. assisted by the amateurs of the town, for the benefit of the widow and child of the late Corporal McEntee, 95th regiment. The programme was very fairly rendered, especially the part singing, but some of the songs were indifferently sung. A trio by Mozart, for clarionet, viola, and pianoforte, was the gem of the evening, and was splendidly executed by Band-Sergoam Me Entee, Mr W. H. Ribbon, and his sister, Mrs Davies. The entertainment, which was under the patronage of Colonel I. Moore and the officers ot the garrison, was numerously and respectably attended.

MISCELLANEOUS. ROYAL VISIT TO WALES.—Carnarvon, Thursday. -It is stated that the Prince of Wales has graciously acceded to the wishes of the inhabitants of the Principality.

The High Sheriff, Idt Parry, and all the county magnates will be in attend- ance to receive his Royal Higness, who will proceed from Carnarvon via Bangor to Rhyl, and thence to Wynstay, upon a visit to Sir Watkin and Lady Williams Wynn. PAINFUL SUICIDE.—Shortly after midnight ôt1 Thursday a young woman, the daughter of a city tradesman; committed suicide by leaping into tbtf Thames from the steps (if London Bridge. Her name was Eliza Packer, and she was only seventeen years of age. She resided with her parents at Milton- street, Fore-street. For some time past she had kept company with one Albert Smith, who was employed at an outfitting warehouse. On Thursday evening they went together to some place of amusement, and when returning home they had a quarrel. This so excited the girl that she declared she would not lilo any longer, and rdn away from her lover towards her London Bridge. He followed and caught hold Of shawl as she nyf down the steps of the bridge. With a quick action of her hands she unfastened the shsWt at her breast and flung it off, at the same time dr scending the steps rapidly. She leaped into the water her lover leaped after, but failed to reach the girl. The tide swept her away at great speed down the river, and it was with difficulty that the young man was rescued. When he learned that it was irn. possible to gave the girl he became overwhelmed with grief, and mourned that he had not also perished. THIRTEEN NEGROES DROWNED ON THE POTODfAc. —A Washington despatch reports that a terrible accident occurred at Arkandale fishing shore, on the Potomac river, about four miles above Aquia Creek, early on the morning of the 5th inst, which resulted in the drowning of 13 coloured men. A party Of co'oured men were employed at this place in fishirfC with seines, and a boat containing 18 men went oit to the middle of the river to set the seine. A, s-trong gale was blowing at the time and the rivef was exceedingly rough. Having adjusted the net, the look-out boat put off from the shore, took fiVe men from the seine boat and carried them to the shore, after which the look-out brat started for five more of the men. It was deemed prudent that but 6V0 men should go in the boat at a time, owing to the smallness of the boat and the roughness of the river. When the small boat reached the seine boat, however, the men who were left in the latter, feeling very cold, and not agreeing among themselves as to which of them should go over at that trip, all leaped into the look-out boat together and swamped it. All of the men, 13 in number, were immediately drowned. Most of them leave families. When the Aquia Creek steamer reached the place of the dls" aster next morning boats were dragging for the bodies, but up to that time none had been recovered. RAILWAY COMPANIES AND THE PACKET PAItCI5 QUESTION.—A case—' Sutton v. the Great IVeiteri2 Railway Company '—of some interest was hearàl0 the City of London Court on Saturday. It WAS aO action to recover jElO damages sustained through the loss of two parcels from a hamper delivered to the defendants in January last for carriage to Lon- don. PlantifTs agent said that on the 27th January last a hamper, containing nine parcels, was con- signed from Gloucester to London by the defend- ants' line. When the hamper was opened it was fjund that two of the parcels, containing good (partly silk) to the value of jElO, had beefl abstracted. His Honour said that Mr Clark was entitled to put the plaintiff to a strict proof as to the contents of the parcel in the hamper. Mr plaintiffs agent at Gloucester, said he nine parcels, and packed them in a hamper. He did not know the contents of the two abstracted, excep" from advices he had received. It was urged plaintiff was entitled to show what were the con- tents of the two packages by the written particular^ supplied by the owners of goods. Mr Clark objected to this, and said he should require a full proof 0 the contents of the parcels. Plaintiff's agent then claimed an adjournment, which was granted upon payment of the usual costs. LORD LICHFIELD ON COMPULSORY EDUCATION. The Lord-Lieutenant of Staffordshire presided at meeting in Bursleni on Wednesday evening, in of the ragged schools in that town, and in his addresS advocated the extension of the discretion allowed tQ guardians of the poor to require the children of door paupers to be educated, and making their edu- cation a condition of the relief granted to the parent. Where this discretion was not exercised by guardians, he would have the State step in and provide a con- siderable portion of the expense of educating tbese children. If such a system as this were carried out, very few of the class of children requiring the inter- position of the ragged school would be found in the streets, and those that were found there should •> sent to industrial schools, and the parents compe»e to contribute to their maintenance. He could 1,0 help thinking that those who had latterly taken s, much interest in the subject of education, and ha taken a prominent part in discussing it, had come a somewhat hasty conclusion in saying that the on remedy was compulsory education. He was ve j much inclined to think that compulsory e^ucaV^tf ought, at any rate for the present, to be confined the class he had been referring to, and as far as coDjL pulsion in other cases was in question, he could °n^ say that he should not be satisfied of the necessity it until he saw the appliances already in existed made better and more efficient use of than had oe the case, and until then he should not be an ad cate of compulsory education. They had skew system of indirect compulsion in the Factory< A and that was as far as he was disposed to go in direction, but he looked forward to the tinie Wi" as the result of the system, employment would 0 be given on the condition that the child should na^ received a certain amount of education. He add that, highly approving the principle of th» direct compulsion, he was inclined to think it to be considered as only a temporary fxPe'act because he thought that the right principle 0oa- upon was that the should only be employed dition of having received a certain amount of e .j tion- That, under the present state of th"lg t appeared to be impossible to carry out, and tne^ and most effective system that could be w-aS under existing circumstances was that lC:n(jus* now being generally applied to the trades an tries of the country. At the same time he oUld clinced to think the time would come when i ^e be possible to fix the amount of education condition of employment, tut it appeared o eDts be a hard case to take off the shoulders o P the responsibility which in many cases e) willing to bear.

LOCAL INTELLIGENCE. WRECK AT ST. BBIDE'S BAY.—On Tuesday I»rning the Diligence,' of Aberdovy, ran on shore at l!Rslick, in St. Bride's Biv, and became a total wreck.

On Tuesday it blew a heavy gale, during which the Diligence became unmanageable, and ran aground, and was speedily dashed to pieces. THE PEMBIV-XBSHIKE COURSING MEETINO.-ft will be in the recollection of our readers that the prize of £ \6, given for competition between the winners of the Puppy and All Aged Stakes at the last Pembrokeshire Coursing Meeting, was won by Mr D.Williams's dog 'Willie Dear.' It was open to the owner of the winning dog to take the prize in money or a Silver Cup of the same value. Mr Williams 'elected to take the Cup, which has been provided by Mr T. J. White, jeweller, of Market Street, at whose establishment it is now on view. The cup is a very handsome one it has two handles, and a lid, sur- mounted by a greyhound, and bears a neatly engraved inscription recording the victory of Willie Dear at the Pembrokeshire Open Coursing Meeting, 18G8.

Walters delivered a lecture on this subject at the Wesleyan Chapel, on Wednesday evening last. The Rev Dr. Davies presided. It should be stated here that the object ofthe lecture was to obtain funds for some exten- sive and necessary repairs new being effected in the small Wesleyan Chapel at Merlin's Bridge. Dr. Davies referred to this in his speech with which he introduced the lecturer, and stated as a proof of the friendly feeling which exiated between the several religious bodies in the town, that the Rector of Prendergast has been, and ia now, using the Baptist chapel in that place once or twice on the Sunday, and also during the week, whilst his church is being rebuilt, and at the Merlin's Bridge he was equally glad to find that the Wesleyans were also making use of the Baptist chappl in that village. Mr. Walters's lecture occupied a little over an hour in its delivery. A very succinct and graphic view of the life and labours of the philanthropist was given, and many useful lessons to be learnt from a consideration of such a life were pointed out. There was a large and respectable audience present, and the lecturer was frequently and warmly applauded, and we believe the lecture was in every sense a great success. HAVERFORDWEST PETTf SESSIONS. These sessions were held at the Shire Hall on Thurs- day, before the Mayor, J. W. Phillips, Esq, T. Rule OweD, Esq, and John Harvey, Esq. DRUNKENNESS. Charles Thomas was charged with being drunk on the 1st of April, he havinc been previously convicted of drunkenness on the" 17th of October, 18G7. On the application of the defendant the case was ad- journed till next sessions. REMOVING NIGHT SOIL IN THE DAY TIME. Thomas Handcock was charged with removing night SOiL in the day time. The defenriam did not appear. The case had been before the Bench at the preceding session", and had been adjourned on the understanding that it should be withdrawn on payment of costs by the defendant. It was stated that the defendant had not paid the costs, and that he declined to do so. Superintendent Cecil proved the charge, and the de- fendant was fined 6d and costs. NON-PAYMENT OF RATES. James, Criddle, of Bridge street, was charged by Mr Warlow, ussistant overseer of St Martin' with non- payment of poor rates, amounting to C3 8s 101.

The Tknrh ordered payment to made in three weeks. Ellen Griddle was charged with non-payment of rates amouritif e to £1 3s. The amount was ordered to be paid in three weeks. THE VISIT OF THE PRINCE OF WALES TO IRELAND. It must be remarked, in justice to the British Court, that the traditions which made England the exclusive seat of the Monarchy and the residence of the reigning House did not spring frum any assumed superiority on the part of this portion of the" United Kingdom, but have triaen merely from the inactive habits of past generations. George the Third, in all his long life and reign, never visited Scotland or Ireland, and never, we believe, was even ncrth of Worcester. George the Fourth did not aet foot in Scotland or Ireland till he was almost sixty years of age. Our present Queen has extended the cir- uit of Royal life to the Scottish Highlands, and it may he hoped that the younger generation will carry it be. yond St. George's Channel. That unhappy strait has, indeed, been the chief obstacle to the progress of Ireland, and has kept it from the Royal favour as from other benefits. But now that it is traversed by some of the finest and fastest boats in the world, there is nothing to prevent Princes and Peers from finding convenient re- sidences in the Green Isle." How much modern science has done for the union of the two islands may be judged from the contrast between the voyage of the Prince and Process of Wales and the return of King George the Fourth in 1821. The King left the bar. hour of Dunleary, which then received the name of Kingstown, OBk Wednesday, the of 5th September but, owing to contrary winds, the squadron was forced to put back again. "It sailed," says the Annual Register, "un the Saturday following, and arrived at Milford Haven on Sunday, the 9th, where it was detained by contrary winds until Monday night. The squadron sailed next day (Tuesday), with in tent, to beat up the Channel to Portsmouth, and had reached to within thirty miles of the Land's End, when, from the boisterous state of the weather, it was obliged to put about and return to Mil- ford Haven, where it arrived at four p.m. on Wednesday. At five next morning His Majesty landed, amid the cheers of thousands of spectators." Thus, after having been eight days on the passage between the two islands, the King was obliged to post to London from the re- m6test point of Wales. No wonder that great personages travelled little in those days. George the Fourth told the Dublin people that his heart bad always been Irish, and that from the day it first beat he had loved Ireland. Rank, station, honours," said the King, are nothing; but to feel that I live in the hearts of my Irish subjects is to me the most exalted happiness." Yet with all this abundant sentiment he never went to see them again, and we may find some excuse for him when we remem. ber that his return journey was as long as a voyage from New York in the present day. But no such obstacles now interpose, and we hope that Ireland will often have the opportunity of receiving a British Prince with the same cordial welcome as was exhibited yesterday.- The Times. ROOSE PETTY SESSIONS. These sessions were held at the Shire Hall on Saturday before A. B. Starbuck, Esq, S. Harford, Esq, 0. E. Davies, Esq, J. P. Jones, Esq. and Rev P. Phelps. NON-PAYMENT OF WAGES. David Jenkins, master of the I Turtle Dove,' was sum- moned by George Thomas for non-payment of wages, amounting to t3 14s 6d. The complainant deposed that he shipped on board the I Turtle Dove' on the 3rd of March, having been en- gaged by the defendant at Is a day until the vessel, which was undergoing repairs, should come from the carpenter, and when the vessel left the carpenter's hands and was ready for sea, he was to be paid at the rate of X2 15a a month. He worked thirty- one days at Is, but when the vessel was ready for sea, the defendant discharged him, and he now claimed a month's wages at R,2 15s, and the balance due to him nn-ier the agreement for Is a day, making altogether £ 3 14s 6d. In cross-examination, the complainant said that be did not engage to go at so much for the trip, but at C2 15a. The defendant bad had the benefit of his ser rices at a low rate, and when the time came for him to receive the higher wages, he discharged him. He was told to go on shore and make his bill out: the bill was made out for him, and he claimed for two days at £ 2 15s a month. The person who made out the bill did not un- derstand the matter, and did not put in the whole month. The defendant was then sworn, and deposed that he 3id not engage the complainant at £ 2 15s per aonth, n' r lid he discharge him. The complainant went away ot his own accord, and the vessel was not at that moment ready for sea. The Bench ordered the defendant to pay the com- plainant 19s Bid, remarking that they were ot opinion that there was no contract at the rate of X2 15s a month. rhe defendant was ordered to pay the costs. STEALING TWO TABLE CLOTHS. William Lewis, of Llanstadwell, was charged with stealing two table doths, and one check apron, the pro- perty of John Sinnett. Sarah Sinnett deposed that she lived at Pembroke Ferry. On the8th inst, she placed two table cloths and a check apron in the garden to dry. A neighbour called ber out to the garden, and the articles were then missing, and she bad not seon them since. They were worth 6s. Eliza Roblin deposed that about half-past four o'clock in the afternoon she went into her garden, which was separated by a path from Mrs Sinnett's, and saw the prisoner taking Mrs Sinnett's table cloth off the hedge, and put it into a field adjoining. He had seized a pillow slip, when she called out, and he, seeing her, ran away. She called upon Mrs Sinnett, who went after the prisoner, but could not overtake him. She and Mrs Sinnett searched for the cloths, but could not find them. John Sinnett, son of the prosecutor, deposed that he saw the prisoner In the road, not far from his father's house, about ten minutes after three o'clock in the afternoon. John Evans, a waterman living at Neyland, deposed that about a quarter past five in the afternoon the pri- soner asked him to put him across the Ferry. He had a white bundle with him, about three feet long. The articles were white, as if they had just been washed. This was the case for the prosecution. • The prisoner pleaded not guilty, and stated that he was at Haverfordwest, enquiring after a vessel, at the time mentioned by Mrs Roblin, and that the bundle he had with him when crossing the Ferry in Evans's boat, consisted of trees which were tied up in a handkerchief. The prisoner was committed for trial at the next quarter sessions for the county of Pembroke The Bench ex- pressed their willingness to accept bail for his appear- ance, but, not being provided with sureties, he was committed to prison.
