Henry Wybrow, Deputation from the Parent Society, when the following collections were made.- 4 v Llswdewi •. 2 Lhingennith, including 1/. 4s. 6d. contributed bv the Children belonging to the School kept in the Parish, and 17s. l()id. collected e I after an Address given in tbe School- roolll 910 1 Total 17 14 2i ST DAVID'S COLLEGE.—The examination ot tne Students terminated on the 23d nit., when the Principal expressed his satisfaction at the very great progress made bv the members in general, in the intricate mazes of literature." Thev were examined in the ancient Clsssics, Divinity, Mathematics, and Logic. From this we can easily percfive the advantages which accrue to Wales in aeneial, through the instrumentality of the late erudite Di. Burgess, liishop of St. David's, by founding a College, with able and learned Professor?, instead of the country schools which formerly were licensed to educate Clergymen. Hence- forward we can safelv assert, that St. David's will not snc- cumb to the English Universities, as regards Pastors suited to their sacred offices. PRESBYTERIAN COLLEGE, CARMARTHEN —The annual examination at this College, took place on the 23d, 24th, and 25th ult., Dr. Hntton, Garter lane, London, an:1 the Rev. William Davies, Froodvale, being the examiners. In the Senior Class, the two first prizes, being considered of equal value, were awarded to Mr. J. Hughes and Mr. Simon Evans, and the two second to Mr. William Jones and Mr. David Griffiths. In the Junior Class, the first prize was given to Mr. Michael Jones and the second to Mr. Walter Jeremv. ST. JOHN'S DAY.-Friday last being the anniversary of the Festival of St. John, the Members of the Beaufort nnd Indefatigable Lodge of Freemasons dined together at their Lodge-room, in the Bnsh Inn, High-street, Swansea, where the Brethren spent a most pleasant and harmonious evening. Among the toasts given on the occasion were the following:—The Queen and the Craft—the Duke of Sussex, G.M. of Enltland-the G. M. of Scotland—theG.M. of Ire- land—the P G.M. of South Wales-the D.P.G.M. of South Wales-the P.G.C. of South Wales-the W.M.and Officers of the Beaufort and Indefatigable Lodge—the W.M. and Officers of the Carmarthen Lodge, &c. MR. FARNDELL'S CONCERT OF SACRED MUSIC, which took place at the Town-Hall, on Tuesday iast, proved eminently successful. Long before the performance com- menced every part was literally crowded, and numbers went away unable to obtain accommodation. Some of the finest Choral compositions, duets, and solos were selected for the occasion, and executed in a style that reflects the highest credit on the performers generally, many of whom had but recently practised the various parts under the tuition of Mr. Farndell, who has given the best proof of what can be done by his judicious system of instruction. The opening semi and filII chorus of the fine well-known Old Hundred" gave excellent promise of what was to follow. Kent's exquisite duet, Hear my Prayer," must be noticed for the charming expression with which Mrs. Farndell gave the recitative, My Heart is disquieted," and also the feeling solo of "Take heed," sung by Miss Davies, the chorus of which was also given iu a most prompt manner. Mr. Farndell was much applauded in Haydn's song from the Creation, "In Native Worth." The passage of the recitative" And Man became a living soul," and the air He stands a Man," were finely given. The duel, trio, and chorus, The Promised Land," principal parts by Mrs. Farndell, Messrs. W. Bowen and Butchell, deserve to receive honorable mention indeed, we may at once observe, that all the choruses were powerful and remarkable for smoothness. "Universal Praise" introduced to our notice Messrs. Edmonds, Evans, Stevens, and Jenkins, and we admired it much for its decision. In the piece of Miriam's Song," we were much pleased by the counter- tenor solo given by Mr. Stevens, a young man of very con. siderable promise; and Martin Luther's Hymn" by Mr. W. Bowen, was sung in a chaste manner. This gentleman possesses a fine rich tenor voice. The Thanksgiving," in. troduced a duet for two trebles, by Mrs. Farndell and Mr. Edmonds, whose voices blended beautifully, and we must not omit to notice a duet also by the same lady and Mr. Dolling, whose voice is a smooth and rich baretone. When the Son of Man," by Mr. Middleton if is indeed a noble anthem, and Mr. M," did it justice. The trio of the same was well supported by Messrs. Lewis and Farndell. The gem of the evening was Angels ever Bright and Fair," by Mrs. Farndell; it was given with that touching sweetness and expression so peculiarly her own, and received the well- merited compliment of a rapturous encore, scarcely escaping a third demand. We must not omit to notice the able manner in which Mr. Barree presided at the piano-forte. It is pleasing to see the readiness with which this gentleman ever contributes the aid of his valuable services in the cause of his brethren in the art divine." Thus should it be with all professions. We most not omit to notice, the violoncello of Mr. Coates, and the flutes of Messrs. Thomas and Jenkins, and Master Harman. The whole of the arrangements were admirably conducted by Mr. Farndell, who most feel highly gratified by the unqualified success of this his first experi- ment. We trust others will follow at no very distant period. The performance closed with "God Save the Queen," when the following words written for the occasion were right loyally sung GOD save our noble Queen, Each heart's deep prayer bath been, God save the Queen Let grateful strains prociaim, Heaven's mercy hath again. Turn'd the assassin's aim From ear loved Queen. Thy shield, Ob! God. still deign- Long be her happy reign, In peace serene: Strike to the dust each foe, That would fell discord sow, And lay the glory low Of Country and Qaeen. Bless the free land she sways, While future glorious days Time's hand unveils: Of Britain's bright renown, Ne'er shall the sun go down, While lives to weac its crown, A Prince of Wales. The following letter addressed to Mr. Farndell by a gen- tleman of first-rate musical talent, we readily insert, as corroborative of our own humble opinion of this musical treat: -Si R,-The manner in which the arrangements of your excel- lent Concert wall got op reflects considerable credit on your taste. Your own and the singing of your higbl^-reijiected ladv proved (if farther proof were wanting) that you each possess professional attainments of a high order. I was happy in seeing your an- nouncement responded to by an OVERFLOWING bouse-unpre- cedented here for its GENERAL respeotability. I am still more happy in knowing that YOin efforts to please were crowned with most triumphant success. You cannot bot feel pleased at such an unequivocal mark of public respect from the reflecting portion of society. I hope that you may be induced to afford the inha- bitants of Swansea hereafter similar enjoyments—enjoyments where all classes of creeds and opinions can meet without scruple. The excellent and faitbrnl manner in which yon were sustained by the different aasistents merits, and no doubt has, your entire approbation. I am. sir, yoars, most sincerelv, Swansea, June 28TH, 1812. A SINCERE FRIEND. TENBY.—( From a Correspondent.)—At ft meeting of the TownConncil on Monday last, the tenders were opened for the contracting for building a new Quay for the further accommodation of steain-packefs, which will (when completed) have at all times sufficient depth of water to come alongside the quay, and will effectually remedy the inconvenience so much complained of by being obliged to use boats for the landing and embarking passengers at neap tides. There was great competition for the work, thereby showing the advantage of advertising in your widely-cii- culated journal, as there were three tenders from persons residing in Glamorganshire. Mr. J. Douglas was -the suc- cessful competitor, his tender being cotisitierikbly the lowest, who has just finished the contract for the extensive reser- voirs at Pater dock.yarrt.- The total subscriptions collected in this town for the distressed poor in the manufacturing disrricts amount to 411. U. 6d. Cowbridge fair, on tne 24th tilt., proved a dull one. Cattle were in partial demand, and a few lots were sold at moderate prices. Horses of which there was a scanty supply, wete not inquired after. There was a lot of fine Irish sheep at the fair, poor in condition, with heavy fleeces, that were bought tip quickly. The average price was not more than thirteen shillings a head, much lower than lambs sold for at Lantwit fair a short time since. Only one or two dealers were present, and those who remember the fair in its palmy days could not help noticing the bad state of things. A good looking horse is now a rarity at this fair. Business was very flat at Newport market on Mon- day week. Heavy depression and light sovereigns formed the subject of universal complaint. e At Bristol and Clifton the collections in the different churches for the British distressed artizans and poor have amounted to the noble sum of 5141. lis. Oid. and there are other sermons still to be preached. On Wednesday se'nnight, Llangarran Church, near Monmouth, was ie-opened, after some extensive repairs which it has recently undergone, and in the introduction of anew organ. Services were performed morning and after- noon, upon which occasions two sermons were preached that in the morning by the Bishop of Hereford, and that in tbe evenmg by the Incumbent, the Rev. H. H. Morgan, B.D., Canon of Hereford and Vicar of Lugwardine. The Ross Choir assisted on the occasion by performing two cathe- dral services, which were most effectively given. The retired village of Llangsrran assumed a very animated ap- pearance from the influx of visitors, which also thronged the church. The collections amounted to upwards of sixty ponnds. We understand that the appointment of a younger Mn of Mr. Thomas Jones Phillips, of this town [Newport], to • cadetship in the East India Company's service, was not obtained by Government patronage, as was supposed by some ot our readers, but was solely procured by the influence of James Dnncnmbe Thompson, Esq., of Sunny Bank, Bre- ,cormbilre.

LONDON EPISCOPAL WELSH CHURCH,—On Saturday a meeting of Noblemen and Gentlemen connected with the Principality was held at the Thatched House Tavern, to re- ceive the report of a provisional Committee, which had been appointed some months back, with a view to building, or otherwise establishing in the English metropolis, a church or chapel, for the purpose of divine worship in the Welsh lan- guage. Amongst those present were the Earl of Powis, who pre- sided, Lord Dynevor, the Bishop of Bangor, Sir W. W. Wynn, Bart., Sir B. Hall, Bart., Dr. Rowland, Messrs. Jones, Richards, I Morgan, Hughes, &c. From the report it appeared that the suhscriptions amounted to nearly 2,2501, which would not be sufficient to build a Church. It being desirable, however, to make some provision for the spiritua) wants of the Welsh re- sidents of the metropolis, the Committee suggested the pro- priety of engaging a suitable huilding for temporary use. A negotiation had been set on foot to that end with the Trustees of the Episcopal Chapel, in Ely-place, Holborn, and there was every reason to believe that it might be had upon eligible terms. The project had been explained to the Bishop of London, whose sanction had been obtained, that Right Rev. Prelate suggesting that provision should be made for guaran- teeing a stipend of not less than 2001. per annum for five years certain, to the clergyman who might be appointed. The in- terest of the capital already subscribed would suffice to pay the rent of the chapel, and meet other incidental expences; but without sufficient annual subscriptions for the maintenance of the clergyman, the object could not/be carried out. Sir W. W. Wynn moved that the report boftdopted, and that the Earl of Powis, the Bishop of Bangor, theBishop of St. David's, and Lord Kenyon be the Trustees. Mr. Joseph Bloyd se- conded the motion, which was carried unanimously. The Bishop of Bangor moved the next resolution, "That a sub- scription be now opened to ensure a stipend of20(M per annum for five years to the clergyman who may be appointed." Sir B. Hall seconded the motion, which passed unanimously. After some other formal resolutions were agreed to, a sub- scription for five years certain was opened, to which the ban of Powis, Lord Dynevor, Sir W. W. Wynn, Sir B. Hall, and the Bishop of Bangor, were entered for lot. each; and, with other sums of less amount, upwards of 60/. per annum was guaranteed in the room. Thanks being voted to the Noble Chairman, the meeting separated. LANILTERN FRIENDLY SOCIETY.—PN 18th inst., the members of this old societv held their thirty-sixth anni- versary they assembled in great numbers at their club. room, and afterw ards walked in procession on Cardiff road, to meet Henry Lewis, Esq., of Greenmeadow, who, with his excellent band, sixteen in number, came to honor 4he club with his presence: they then proceeded to Lanilteru Church, where an excellent discourse was delivered on the good effects of true friendship, by the Rev. Mr. Thomas, of Peterstone; afterwards they returned to their club-room, at the house of Mr. John Morgan, Chapel, where they par- took of an excellent dinner, which did great credit to Mrs. Morgan. After dinner, Mr. Lewis took the chair, when several loyal toasts were given, and drank with enthusiasm. It was reported in the neighbollrhoorl that it was to be a Chartist meeting, which induced Police Constables No. 20 and 25 to attend, who found the report to be quite errurteous; for not a word transpired about Chartism, and a more loyal party of her Majesty's subjects never assembled. 'In the evening they all peaceably dispersed, every one feeling highly satisfied with the proceedings of the day. CORNWALL'S Cificus-We understand tb;tt Mr. Cornwall and bis respectable company will shortly close their season in Cardiff to open for a short period at Newport, where we hope he will meet with that success which he richly merits. This week's entertainments have been fraught with nnusna4 ability and splendour, and have drawn ex- traordinary full houses. Mondtty and Tnesdsy closed with that highly admired ■ representation of Mazeppa, which we consider was admirably portrayed to the very letter, and was in every particularcreditalile to the whole of the company. We again recommend our country friends who are lovers of wonderous fetes not to lose the opportunity which this fashionable Arena offers them, as it will positively close in the course of another week. SOLAR ECLIPSE.- The only eclipse of the sun visible in Great Britain until the 6th.day of May, 1845. and the largest until the 9th October, 1§47, occurs eSrty in the morning of Friday, the 8tli July next. WRECK.—The schooner &AR«A, ptork, James Nicholls, master, which sailed trom Falhiocith on the 19th ult., tor Newport, went on shore on the' morning ot the 21st ult., near the Lizard, and has become a wreck. The crew and part of the materials were saved.. ARRIVAL OF THE GHtAT WESTERN.—This magui- ficeut vessel came to anchor in Kingroatl on Wednesday morning at a quarter to eisht o'clock. She left New York on the afternoon of the 16th ult., and has made the passage by chronometer in 12t days, notwithstanding she deviated from tjjp direct line 200 miles to avoid the ice. She has brought home 99 passengers. THE MUKDER OF A POLICEMAN AT BmSTOL.—The inquest on the body of Roberts, as our readers are already informed, was adjourned to Thursday, when the Coroner read over the whole of the depositions, commenting on those parts of the evidence which appeared to inculpate any of the prisoners, and explaining that the law especially pro- tected police constables, and more particularly when they were in the execution of their duty, as in this case, and that, therefore, the crime was one of wilful murder. It would be for the Jury to consider how far the evidence tended to exculpate some of ihe prisoners from having par. ticipated directly in the attack dn the deceased, but if they were satisfied of their having been present at the time, the law considered them equally guilty, unless they had merely joined in the disturbance after the police were knocked down and injured in that case they would be dealt with by another tribunal. The Jury having retired, in about two hours returned a verdict of Wilful Murder" against Charles Dwyer, and Jeremiah and William Dwyer, as accessories; and acquitted Callagban, Donovan, and Regan, who will appear before the Magistrates to answer the charge of assaulting the police in the execution of their duly. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, 24TH JUNK. 1842.-Before Lord Abinger.—Downmnn v. Davies and others.-This action was bronght by Mr. Downman, of the Carmarthen Iron and Tin Works, against the owners of the John St. Barbe, John Richards, master, a trader from Carmarthen to London, to recover the damage to some tin plates, in De- cember, 1839.—The vessel took in the tin plate in December 1839 (after an expensive repair), for Loudon, calling at Saundersfoot to fill up with stone coal. On her voyage she sprang a leak near Lundy, and as the water gained on the pump the master put back to Tenby. She remained there ten days, during which a shipwright was emmployrd a few hour* only in stopping some seams, part of the tin plates were taken out only, and then replaced without communi- cation with the shipper or consignees. On the 10th Decem- ber she sailed direct for Milford, where she stayed three days, during parts of which a shipwright was employed as at Tenby in stopping open seams. On arriving in London the tin plates were found seriously damaged, the boxes broken, and saturated with salt water, and part of them under and mixed up with the coals, &c. The defendants refusing all compensation, this action was brought to recover the loss, on the ground of negligence, want of due care and repair, and a deviation from the voyage. The Jury found for the plaintiff on all the points, the defendants not offering evidence. Damages, 1751. 10s. and costs.-Connsel for plaintiff, Messrs. Shee and Hoggins; solicitor, Mr. P. G. Jones.—Counsel for defendants, Messrs. Et-le and Ogle; solicitor, Mr. Drewe, Bermondsey, London. COSMETICS.-Too much caution cannot be used by Ladies in the adoption of these aids to beaoty, many of them being very injurous in their ultimate effects To point out an innocent and eflicHcious ot,e, is therefore to render an acceptable service to the tair SEX. GODFREY'S EXTRACT OF ELDER FLOWERS has acquired great celebrity as well for its efficaoy as for pleasure in ils application.

GLAMORGANSHIRE QUARTER SESSIONS. The General Quarter Sessions for this County com- menced at Neath on Tuesday last, before the following Bench of Magistrates LEWIS WESTON DILLWYN, Esq.. Chairman. V iscount Atrare, M.P. Robert Lindsay, Esq. John Henry Vivian, E«q.,M.P. J. Dillwyn Llewelyn, Esq. J. Ebenezer Bi. henn, Esq. Griffith Llewellyn, Esq. T. W. Booker, Esq. G. P. Esq. Rev. John Collins. Colonel Morgan. T\ Fredricks, Esq. T. Edw. Thomas, Esq. Howel Gwyn, Esq. Henry Thomas. Esq, W. Ireland Jones, Esq. Kev. George Tlioitus. Robert Oliver Jones, Esq. N. V. E. Vaughan, Esq. Rev. Robert Knialit. Wm. Williams, Esq. The following Gentlemen were sworn on the Grand Jury :— MK. REES MORGAN, Foreman. Mr. Charles Hayward Mr. William Hicks Air. John Joiies Mr. Junes Keuway Mr. Leyshon Morgan Mr. W. T. Morgan Mr. Lewis Griffith Mr Beoj. Rice Mr. Jobn Grainger Mr. David Morris Mr. Janies Reynolds Mr. Edward Thomas Mr. Micholas Allen M Mr. C. R Harries Mr. Thomas Eustace Mr. J. S. F>>ar Mi. William Kirkhoose Mr. Tlios. Godfrey. The usual forms having been gone through, the Chairman very briefly addressed the Grand Jury. He said that the depositions had only then been put into his hands, consequently he was not able to direct the attention of the Grand Jury to any particular case. He was well aware of the intelligence and respectability of the Neath Grand Juries, and it was with the utmost satisfaction he left the whole in their hands, feeling confident that no assist- ance would be required by them. But if a difference of opinion should arise on any particular case, he would be most happy to tender them any assistance in his power. A considerable time was then occupied in hearing some appeal cases; but as the whole business connected with them appeared to be strictly confidential between the Chairman and the professional gentlemen employed, we refrain from pub- lishing the few broken sentences we were enabled to catch. In future, if the professional gentlemen wish to have their cases re- ported. that their clients and the public may be informed of what transpires in public Court, we would thank them not to whisper their remarks to the Bench COUNTY BUSINESS. The Court adjourned, for the transaction of the County busi- ness, to a small room adjoining the Hall. THE CORONERS. At the last Quarter Sessions, it will be remembered, a charge was preferred against one of the Coroners, of having withheld payment of charges connected with some inquests, and which charges the Coroner had declared were paid. The names of the parties were withheld by the Chairman. After a long conversa- tion, it was determined that E. P. Richards, Esq., and the Clerk of the Peace, should inquire into the matter, and report to the Midsummer Sessions. This morning, Mr. Dalton. Clerk of the Peace, informed the Magistrates that he and Mr. Richards had found it impossible, owing to the distance of the parties from Cardiff, and their ignorance of names, address, &c., to investigate cum' 'I the circumstances connected with the several Coroners' bills, as directed by the Magistrates but Mr. Reece, residing in Cardiff; enabled them to closely investigate all charges mude bv him. His bills for the last two years were perfectly correct; all charges were regular, and had been paid. Mr. Morgan, Coroner for Ogmore, suggested that the Coroners should be required to produce their vouchers at the Sessions. This suggestion was approved of by all the Coroners present, and we believe it will be acted upon in futnre. THE COUNTY GAOLS. The reports of the Visiting Justices were now read. With regard to Cardiff Gaol, Mr. Wyatt's plan for additional accom- modation was produced and read. Eight additional cells, toge- ther with other conveniences, would be provided by his plan, at an outlay of 1350/. Also, if at any future time it would be found necessary to make further enlargements, the present alterations would be no obstruction. The report of the Visiting Justices of Swansea Gaol was next read. Twelve additional cells, with all the necessary conveniences, might be provided at an estimated expense of 10001. Some gentlemen having objected to burthening the connty with such an outlay in the present depressed state of affairs, and when the farmers were suffering so severely from the effects of the police-rate, Mr. Vivian suggested that the necessary sums might be raised by an Exchequer loan, to be repaid in twenty years. His suggestion seemed generally approved of; and the Rev. George Thomas moved a resolution that the contemplated altera- tions in the two County Gaols should be made-that the required amount should be raised in the manner suggested by Mr Vivian -and that the Magistrates should immediately advertise for tenders. Mr. Booker seconded Mr. Thomas's motion Mr. R. O. Jones asked whether it would not be more prudent to defer making any alterations for the present until the Magis- trates had had leisure to decide upon the expediency of building a large County Gaol in the centre of the county Mr Wm. Williams said that at one time be had been inclined to think the erection of Cardiff' Gaol—being at the extremity of the county—an useless expenditure. He had now altered his opinion, as the facilities for conveying prisoners afforded by the railroad, had made it as much a gaol for Merthvr as for Cardiff. After some further conversation, Col. Jones moved that the report of the Swansea Visiting Justices should be adopted, and acted upon agreeably to Mr. Vivian's suggestion. Mr. Fredricks seconded the motion. Mr. R. O. Jones moved, as an amendment, that the further consideration of the question should be adjourned to the next sessions. The Rev. Robert Knight seconded the amendment. He con- tended that, as it was a question of very considerable importance, involving the expenditure of a large sum of money, the Magis- trates ought to have time for consideration, and not jump hastily to a conclusion. They had merely the reports of the Visiting Magistrates to go by bnt as it was a question affecting the whole county, surely some further enquiry onght to take place before any decision should be made. Mr. Fredricks, Mr. Vaughan, and Mr. Booker spoke in favour of the original motion. Mr. Henry Thomas supported the amendment. A division then ensued. We subjoin the names of the Magis- trates who voted :— for the Amendment. tor the Original Motion. Lord Adare Mr. Vivian Mr. Bicheno Mr. Lindsay Mr. R. O. Jones The Rev. George Thomas The R2v. John Collins Mr. G. Llewellyn Mr. G. Morgan Mr. Booker Col. Morgan Mr. J. 0. Llewelyn The Rev. R. Knight Mr. Fredricks Mr—Henry Thnraaa I Mr. Vanxhtn Mr. Howel Gwyn. Mr.T.E.fhorn!tt Mr. W. Williams Col. Jones. I tie original motion was then put and carried. A County Rate of one penny was ordered. COUNTY BRIDGES. The reports of several Committees were laid on the table. The consideration of Wyrfa Bridge was adjourned to next sessions. The repairs of Aberavon Bridge were progressing most satisfac- torily the whole expense would amount to 940/. A new iron bridge would have been erected, but the estimates amounted to 13701.-a sum far exceeding the amount allowed by the county. Mr. W. Williams regretted that it was deemed necessarv to take down the old Aberavon Bridge, as it was a fine specimen of Welsh bridge building. MERTHYR POLTCE. A petition, numerously signed, from the inhabitants of Mertbyr, against any further increase in the number of policemen, was presented. After seme few remarks, the subject was dismissed. COUNTY POLICE. The Bev. John Collins presented nineteen petitions from the Gower parishes, praying to be relieved from the police-rate, as they did not require the protection of the police. Mr. E. P. Richards assured Mr. Collins that the rate would be very much reduced in ftiture so that the grievance complained of would be much lighter. NEATH POLICE. The offer made by the Magistrates at the last Quarter Sessions for tbe consolidation of the Neath Police Foree, Mr. Fredricks staled had been refused by the Town Council; but they were still ready to enter into an agreement, upon condition of providing only two men. Mr. Vivian and Mr. Gwyn thought two men quite sufficient. FENCE MONTHS. The Rev. R. Knight's notice respecting the Fence Months of the rivers Ogmore and Ewenny was next taken into consideration. After a short discussion, it was unanimously resolved that the Fence Months should be from the 1st of Nov. to the 1st of March. Several gentlemen were appointed Conservators" of the river. POLICE CLOTHING. Mr. Superintendent Lewis attended, and satisfactorily ex. plained to the Magistrates all the circumstances connected with his order for clothing. The matter was being fully discussed at the last Quarter Sessions. It amounts simply to this—Lewis ordered one suit of uniform and one suit of plain clothes, instead of two suits of uniform but be had not exceeded the amount allowed him by the count v.

Evans took the prisoner into the Landore Inn, and tbe prosecutor, who kept the b,ue, immediately recognized tbe bat, which he had previously missed.

In the month of May, 1841, 1 was in tbe terries of Mr. DM. Popkin, of Coity, in this connty. I remember going to Bridgend, on a Sunday in May, to look for my master—I was sent by my mistress it was aboot four o'clock in the morning. I saw the prisoner at Bridgend, but I did not know him before. The pri- soner spoke to me, and we went afterwards together to look for Mr. Popkin we found him between four and five o'clock. I then left Bridgend, on my return to Coity. and the prisoner accom- panied me. We passed through three fields; and on the third field the prisoner took hold of me. [Witness then described the nature of the assaul.]. I cried out as loud as I could all the time and I escaped by my crying out, as he became afraid and let me go. No one was near, and the nearest house was three fields distant. I went back to Bridgend, to mention it to mv master the prisoner accompanied me bnck. I saw Mr. Popkin at Bridgend. The prisoner was in the house. I related lo .Mr Popkin what had taken place. Mr. P pkin .scolded the prisowi" tor attempting the offence. The prisoner confessed that he was l!1 fault. On the following .dav (Mondav) I went to te'l mv father of it. I old him the same story as I have told YOU here to-day. Alter seeing my father, I went and made a complaint 10 a Magistrate. A warrant was granted. The prisoner left that part of the country, and was noi seen till lateh.— Cross-exa- mined —I was conversing with him, as we went along. Init no sort of joke. When I found him accompanying me, I did not remonstrate with him, as I did not like to speak to a stratiger.— When the case had proceeded thus far, an arrangement was en- tered into. by the terms of which tne prosecution for the capital offence (which, we believe, noutd not be sustained), was aban- doned, and the prisoner pleaded Guilty to the charge of assault. He was consequently sentenced to Six months imprisonment with It hard labour, and to pay a line of 21. tOi) —The proseculrix gave her evidence in a very becoming manner, and sefmed a modest and respectable person -Mr. J R.

To the EDITOR of The CAMBRIAN SIR,—In the obituary of voar last weeks' journal was noticed the sudden demise of Mrs. French, the late landlady of the Globe Inn, at this place, whose departure from this life at so short a notice of only two days' indisposition, occasioned a general damp throughout the neighbourhood. It falls to mv lot again this week to record another and a still more striking proof" that in the midst of life we are in death," bv the awfully sudden death of another neighbour, Mr. Phillips, the senior partner of the firm M pani^ Andrews, maltsters and brewers, of this town. -ir S l>er'"or,ned his usual avocations yesterday, and went to Mertbyr, and retorned home bv the evening train, enjoying, to 1111 appearance, his aocusto ned good health and spirits, nor have I heard that any alteration appeitred in him. nor that be even complained of liLY illness up to the hour of his retiring to rest. This morning, at an early hour, his family were thrown into the greatest grief, it having pleased God to call him to another and a better world. YOUR CORRESPONDENT.
