George 1\1 organ, The Deputy Clerk of the Peace having read the usual procla- mation against vice and immorality, the Chairman brieH v ad- dressed the Grand Jury, remarking that he was happy to observe that, on the present occasion, their labours would be neither heavy nor prolonged, as there were no more than seventeen or eighteen prisoners for trial, and none of the cases were of such a character as would be likely to present any difficulty. Tlie Learned Chairman concluded by requesting the Grand Jury, first to proceed with those cases from distant parts of the county, and return any bills to court as soon as they were found. The Magistrates then adjourned to an adjoining room, for the transaction of COUNTY BUSINESS. The first business transacted was passing the Journals belong- ing to the Cardill' Gaol, and those belonging to the Swansea House of Correction.—Mr. Dallon, the Deputy Clerk of the Peace, then read the report of the Finance Committee, which contained several suggestions with regard to the better management of the county funds. Among other matters, the Committee recom- mended that an alteration should be made in the method of ad- vanciug sums of money to the Governors of both prisons on ac- count of alterations, &c. It was also recommended, that the wages of the head turnkey in both houses should be 18s, weekly, with rations, and clothing not amounting to more than 4l annually. The report contained various other recommendations with regard to the management of expences conuectcd with the Comity Con- stabulary Force, and the erection of station-housfs.&c. The total amount of the costs of prosecutions was 20261.—Mr. Vivian observed, that, while there was a diminution in the number of prisoners tried, as compared with former years, the expences of prosecutions had increased.—A Magistrate stated, that the in- crease WAS occasioned by the great expence attendant upon one or two heavy prosecutions tried at both assizes held daring the year. The trial of the Laieston poison case had of itself incurred con- siderable expense.—A short conversation upon the subject took place, at the conclusion of which the Magistrates unanimously agreed to a resolution adopting the recommendations of the Com- mittee. COKONERS BILLS.—The bills of expenses attendant upon inquests held bv Messrs. Collins, Reece, Cuthbertson, and Davies, were then passed.- The Chairman then said. that for the guidance of Coroners, and the information of the public, he would state, that, by the decision of the Court of Queen's Bench, it had been held, that if coroners travelled from their residences to any place, to hold inquests, they could recover no more than one mileage, whatever number of inquests they held. If a coroner residing at Cowbridge proceeded to Bridgend to hold an inquest, and went from there to Margam, he would not be entitled to mileage from Cowbridge to Bridgend, and also from Cowbridge to Margam, but only from Cowbridge to Margam for both inquests. COUNTY RATE.— A county rate of three farthings in the pound was then declared, which, the Chairman said, would produce 16911., the amount which would be produced by II five farthing rate at the old valuation of the County property. THE ARMORY AT CARDIFF.—The Chairman next stated that at the last Sessions a notice had been given with a view of giving up the armory at Cardiff, for which the county now paid an annual rent of 311. There were in the possession of the county certain stands of arms, an:i it would be necessary to apprise the Deputy- Lieutenant of the County of the intention of the Magistrates to give up the armory, in order to enable them to provide another at a much lower rent than the present armory. CAPT. NAPIER'S REPORT.—This report was next read. It contained nothing of importance or interest, but consisted princi- pally of suggestions, relative to a better method oi keeping tue accounts of the expenses of the police force. POLICE RATE The following are the amounts ordered to be raised in the various districts towards the police rate —Merthyr district, 06,11.; Newbridge district, 3031. 15s. 9.1.; Ogmore dis- trict, 221/. 9s. l^d. Swansea district, 179/. 9s. G|d. The ex- pens'es connected with the Merthjr Stipendiary Magistracy were ordered lo be paid. NEATH STATION-HOUSE.—A conversation took place between Mr. Coke Town Clerk of Neath, and the Chairman, relative to the above station-house. The Neitth Town Council had authorized Mr. Coke to offer the County the use of the building (with the exception of one part of it) for 31 vears, at a rent of 121, per annum, giving the County the power of giving up possession on a six months' notice. The question was postponed for luture con- sideration. „ EXCLUSIVE AUDIENCE TO BARRISTERS AT QUARTER SESSIONS. Sir GEO. TYLER said, that he rose with considerable diffidence'to bring forward this subject, especially as it had already been before the Magistrates but taking into consideration tha importance of the measure, as it regarded the interest of the Countv and keeping in view the support it received on the last occasion on which it was brought forward, he flattered himself t) at he was not doing a work of supererogation in again bringing the question under the consideration of the Magistrates on the present occasion. But h>-begged lo observe, that, in advocwting exclusive audience for barristers at Quarter Sessions, he did so without the remotest intention of casting any reflection on the conduct of those gentlemen who had hitherto practiced in the Court, for he was bound to admit, that those gentlemen, for some of whom he u personally entertained the highest regard had, on all occasions, in theexerciseoftheirduties, discharged them with zeal and credit. ( Hear ) Still, he could not retrain from expressing his conviction, that if those <rentlemen who were permitted to practice in theQuarter Sessions formed the branch of that learned profession, whose pre- vious education, station, and experience,so eminently qualified them for the performance of the duties, it would have been decidedly preferable. In those views, he was happy to find he was sup sorted bv the opinions of their excellent Chairman and those gentlemeu who had given the subject the greatest consideration, were of opinion that, amongst other advantages, it would be at- tended with a decrease in the expenses of the county-would add trreater efficiency to the Court, a„d inspire greater confidence in the various classes of suitors. He would make a few brief ob- servations relative to the expenses of prosecutions. In lo.35 they l,d fiftv-one prosecutions, the average cost ot which was 13/. hut in 184'' the number of prosecutions had doubled, thereby doubling the amount of expenditure According to lus ideas, the savin" of exnense would he effected in this way, end he satd it Liiho^.l anv'intention of casting reflections upon the present '■ £ «|IP Courts. He, as aiMinlearried jucUe, experienced practisers appealed lo by barristers, who would guide the advantage of be.n„ M _w cases w|,ere them co.rr^ prisoners for trial, whose trials, according to 1 b-'nrTsent course "of business, would occupy three or four days, •r « A efficient barristers, he was convinced a saving of one- k they ua would be effected, which would amount to pre- third the thine as a saving of one-third the money so that c.sely the same thing County 400/ lhat sum would he it t.io>e !>r,'se rfbat was one advantage which could not be decreased by > po.)Ulation increased, thev most naturally lost sight ot.

It should also be considered, that the sessions of this county were held in four different places, which would incur additional expense, and,would form another reason for the non-attendance of a London bar, and leave the business in the hands of a few country barristers, residing, as he had before observed, at Swansea and Merlin r. Sir George Tyler j had stated, that as many attortiies retained others, and gave them a fee of a guinea, it would cause no loss to those attornies to re- tain barristers. If the senior barristers were to have a fee of a guinea, what were the juniors to have? He confessed he thought that a rather extraordinary method of inducing a London bar to attend.— [Sir GEO. TYLER here said that Mr. Hill had put a wrong construction on his observations].—In appeal cases, they would have merely junior barristers, wiio had never previously COII- ducted an appeal case in their lives. Mr. Hill concluded bv ad- vising the Magistrates not to pass this measure, witLout giving the subject more mature consideration. Mr. L. LL. DILLWYN agreed in all the observations made by Mr. Ilill. He hid always been of opinion, that tlie Magistrates had better adhere to the present practice, and that opinion had been strengthened by Mr. Hill's remarks. He thought it unfair to brinsr forward the subject on the present occasion, as it had j been before twice decided upon. O,te decision was not satisfac- torv to Mr. Robert Oliver Jones and other Magistrates, who said that the meeting was too thinlv attended. The proposition was again negatived at a fuller meeting. — [A Magistrate And b- a verv small majority].—His opinion remained the same as it for- merly was, riid he hoped the Magistrates would not p.tss the resolution which bail been proposed. The CHAIRMAN felt some difficulty in expressing an opinion upon the question before the meet!{, in consequence of the úJ- servations which had fallen from Sir George Tyler and Mr. Bruce rryce. lIe did not wish any Magistrate to advocate this mea- sure from any personal respect to hi.-n.se! lie thought the adoption of the proposition would be of general advantage to the couuty. Notwithstanding what had been said by Mr. ilill and Mr. Dillwyn, be still remained unconvinced oftheconfrary. I) i had been said, that none but country barristers would attend. Let them look at the list. There was Mr. Wilsoa, as able a barrister and amiable a man as he 1 practised in any county. Mr. Grove and Mr. Benson, he beii o -c"-rv practised ill the London Courts. I.fr, dy ie.- .d .Swansea. But, in his opinion, the question was not, who are to practise in our Courts at present?"—(hear, hear)-bllt wtiat descrip- tion of a bar are we to I:ave at Assizes ? and, lie was of opinjo/l that unless the younger barristers were allowed to practise at the Quarter Sessions, it would be a great inducement for them to go to other circuits during the Assizes. Nobairisters who practised on the South Wales circuit during Assizes could practise at the Sessions in other counties. Previous to the abolition of the Welsh judicature, barristers on this circuit could practise at Sessions on the Oxford Circuit; but those since admitted coukt not do so. He therefore thought our bar would be considerably weakened by not admitting them to exclusive audience. ÎI1:. Hill had said, that we should experience considerable difficulty in procuring the attendance of an efficient bar but how did they manage in Mon- moutbshire, and other places? No difficulty presented itself there. With regard to abridging the business, he did not refer to the speeches alone, but the manner of examining witnesses, &c., practised by those brought up to, and experienced in it, tended to a speedier discharge of the business. Still, his prin- cipal reason for advocating the measure was, for the purpose of getting a more efficient bar at the Assizes. Now, he would wish his Hon. Friend would allow a clause to be added to his resolution, to the efleet, that should the number of barristers attending the Sessions be reduced to below four, then the Court w ;tild not refuse to hear attornies; for he (the Chairman) thought the public should be allowed to have some choice. Ile thought Mr. Ilill was greatly mistiken with respect to the fees. The County had nothing whatever to do with fees in appeal cases. Mr. HILL:—You have mistaken me. He ( Dr. Niclioll) understood the Learned Gentleman to say, that, if the senior barrister received a guinea, what inducement would there be for barristers to attend. :\1r. HILL explained. The CHAIRMAN proceeded to show, that the fees would not be higher than they were at present but. on the other hand, rather lower. Attornies were now allowed 41, 5s. fid. on briefs. They would still have 3/. for preparing instructions, the barrister It. Is., his clerk, 2s. 6d., and Cbrk of the Peace's fee would be reduced from ll. 7s. 6d. to 1/. 6s. Thus, in cases where true bills were found, the expense would be 41. 5s 6d., and where no true bills were found, it was 41 Is. 6d and as the proportion of bills found were much greater than bills ignored, the difference between those two amounts would be saved to the County. Certainly, the amount saved was not very considerable, but it served to prove that there would, at any rate, be no increase of expenditure entailed. The Chairman concluded by protesting against wishing to influence a single individual to support the measure on account of personal convenience to himself. The liev. ROBERT KNIGHT offered a few observations in support of the measure. Sir GEO. TYLER made an explanation on account of the ob- servations which fell from Mr. Hill. The proposition, with the addition suggested by the Chairman, providing that, sliould the number of barristers who attend be reduced to below four, attornies also shall be heard, was then put to the Magistrates and carried by a very large majority—three or four Magistrates only holding up their hands against it. The CHAIRMAN then proposed that the altered table of fees be adopted.—This resolution was unanimously agreed to. LAW LIBRARY.—Another resolution was carried, authorising the Chairman to select such books, law reports, &c., as he might think fit for the foundation of a County Law Libran. WYCH TREE BRIDGE.—Mr. VIVIAN brought forward the subject of jhA Wych Tree Bridge Trust, and expressed a wish that the Mapstrates should agree to a resolution taking the bridge upon themselves, the Swansea Trust having agreeffto lake the road opon themselves, together with the debt of 3,0001. Mr. Vivian entered at some length into the circumstances under which the Swansea Trust took the road under their management, for the purpose of doing away with the gate, and how thev found it necessary to apply to Parliament for a new Act. Tile delails have so often appeared in our paper in the reports of the various Trust Meetings, that it is unnecessary to repeat them. The CHAIRMAN thought it impossible to pass the resolution at this meeting, as the arrangements referred to by Mr Vivian had not been completed. He thought Mr. Vivian would be satisfied, if a resolution were passed, approving of the measure when completed. Mr. VIVIAN having expressed his concurrence in that opinion, such a resolution was put and carried unanimously. LOUGMOR AND RIIYMXKY HKIDGES.—The CHAIRMAN stated, that, in consequence of information he had received since the last Qoarler Sessions, he had decided upon not bringing forward the measure of which he had iriven notice relntjveto the above bridges. NOTICES FOR SEXT SESSIONS,-The Rev. ROBERT KNIGHT gave notice, that, at the next Quarter Sessions, he would propose: a resolution, providing for the appointment of an Inspector of Weights and Measures for the Cowbridge and Bridgend districts. -The liev. Gentleman handed in another notice relative to the Bridgend station-house; after which the Magistrates adjourned to the Court-house. TKlAL Ut i KISON KRS.

Bv the prosecutor's evidence it appeared, lhat on the 7th of March the prisoner accosted him in the street, and asked him to come with her to drink, which he declined doing.

IVil/'lIIn Walts,s ( 17 ). butcher was arraigned upon an indict- ncnt charging him with having stolen a quantity of tallow (401 bs. ) he property ol Mrs Jane Elias, of Neath. It appeared by the ■ vidence. lhat the tallow was missed from the prosecutrix's store uoni, in the corner of which was a bole large enoogh to admit of I the entrance of a man, and from that hole to the end of the garden were seen traces of tallow. The evidence which bore Hgainst the prisoner was, that he had sold Mr. Cook, grocer, of Neath, a quantity of tallow of Ihe same descripiion as that lost, and about the manner in which he btcatne possessed ot it he had given some contradictory accounts. Verdict, Not Gniltv. Mr. Coke, ol Neath, conduotnl the pi osecution, and Mr. Melvin, of Swansea defended the prisoner. John Richards (45), cordsv aizier, was tried on a charge of having stolen three cheeses, the property of Richard Smith, of Merthvr. The facts in this case were exceedingly simple.

David Ed-vards, the prosecutor, was first called, and stated in evidence that, on going first out of bis house o;) the morning of the 5th of March, he found that the door of his bam, which I. hud locked on the previous night, had been broken open, and he missed a quantity of unwinnotved wheat from a heRp which was on the floor. He judged the missing quantity to be about :!tri e bushels. He then discovered near the barn the footsteps ofa person, which lie (raced from ihe barn over the lields towards Panllyiionan, where the prisoner was a servant. lie subsequently saw. the prisoner going towards his master's barn with a nag in his possession. Witness went i"le the barn after him. He loilowed him to the barn for the purpose of examining his shoes. The prisoner's person and clothes were eo. ered with chaff. Examined his f iotmarks in going to the barn, and found them corresponding with those near his own barn. He subsequently applied for a search warrant.— Pniilip Bailard, policeman, corroborated the prosecutor's evi- dence relating to the footmarks, which he traced from the prose- cutor s bam to within about fifteen yards of Pantfynona'j. He saw the prisoner in his trusler's field. On being asked if witness sheuld search Inn, prisoner said witness bad no h:lsines5 to do so. He took off prisoner's shoes, and thev corresponded with all the distinct shoeinarks in the fields, which were ploughed.—The prisoner's fellow servant corroborated the policeman's evidence.

David, of the parish of fiadtr.—The Cbuirman ohseri ed that the prisoner had committed three distinct feionies at three dillerent limes Two of them were cases of stealing from dwelling-houses, which aggravated his offence. Prisoner was then sentenced to Six months' imprisonment with hard labour, part of the time to be spent ill solitary confinement. Sarah Dailies, 20, and Jane Thumai, 27, charged with having feloniously stolen one box an I a sum of money in silver, were discharged oy proclamation, no bills having been returned against them. John Davies and David Lewis were also discharged by procla- mation. One of the jurymen said that there were four persons on the jury who did not understand a word of English. How was it possible for them to return a correct verdict The Chairman said that was a question replete with diflicaltv. The Act of Parliament required that the j"ry should be se!ected from a certain class of persons, and tie did not see how they could supersede an Act of Parliament. He hoped the day was not far distant when every person could speak English as thev could not hope for getting rid of the English language, he strongly advised all parties to make themselves acquainted with it. This concluded the business of the Sessions. PEMBROKESJIRILK RVSTER QUARTER SESSIONS. These Sessions were commenced 011 Tuesday last, the 9 h instant.

TheCHAIRMAN addressed ihe Gr-t^nd J urynearlvns follows:— I Gentlemen.—The observation* I am called oil to make to vou are very few, and considering Ihe great value of vour time al this season of the year, it will be a satisfaction lo you, lhat vou will | be released vei3 shortly. The lale deli-ery of tlae gaol has re- lieved lOll from those duties you are generally called on to per- lorii) at Qijatter The calender presents only one case; there is,liowever, I utiderstand.iitiol lier case that will be submitted to \ou, the party charged in which is out on bail hut I do not imagine that in either 01 the cases any difficulty will present itselt lo you. If any should arise, it will be the duty of the Court to nfford JOII every information in their power. After the (ii and J urv had retired, iVl i. J ON N HRNRY PHI LIPPS, in the absence of Lord Cawdor, proposed the following motion, of which his Lordship had, at the last Quarter Sessions, given notice Tint all persons having any demands upon the Conntv, be required to transmit 'heir bills lo the Treasurer, at least '21 it ays beture each Quarter Sessions, without which they will not he paid until the following Qtiaiter; — that ihe Treasurer do make ont an abstract of ail demands upon ihe County, and transmit prin *•»! copies theieof, by post, to the Clerks of the Petty Sessions ot ea< |t Itnndre't, at Ifast ten days before the General Quarter Sessions, to he forwarded l>y ihein lo each of the Magistrates wiihin their (IMricls ami that it be recommenced to the Magistrates each division, lo holtl a meeting in the week immediately | preceding the Quarter Sextons, in urdei 10 examine into the legality and allc1 propriety o charges contained ill suon abstract." The motion was seconded by the CHAIRMAN, and carried unanimously. The Grand Jury then returned a true bill against JfTrn. Butler, aged 17, for stealing, on the 13th March last, a turkey, the pro- pertt ot Stephen Itoberls. — The prisoner was then put on his Irial be pleaded Not Guilty. Verv clear and satisfactory evi- dence of the the 11 was produced, and the Jury returned a verdict of Guilty. Sentence, Oue month's imprisollllleal, the last week. solitary confinement. The Grand Jury ignored a bill against William James, for larcenv. RURAL POI.ICK.—The CHAIRMAN read the notice signed by Col Owen and tour other Magistrates, of their intention to move for Hie establishment of a Rural Police Force for certain districts 01 rue UOUIIIJ. Col. OWEN rose, pursuant 10 the notice, to move that a Rural Police Force be established in the districts of Naiberth, Kernes, Dungltddy. and Kilgerran The Hon. Vice- Lieutenant said, he took that opportutiiiy of informing the Court, that the Secretary of Slate had intimated that he Intended shortly withdrawing the Metropolitan Police Force, now located in the counlv, as their services were required elsewhere, it was not compatible with the Government arrangement that they should be any longer employed here. In confirmation of which, Col. Owen rearl a communication he had that day received from Col. Love, the military commandant for South Wales, stationed at Carmarthen. He (Col. Owen) thought it probable that an argument would be raised—and it was ceriainlv entitled tll some force-againsl the necessity of the establishment of the Police Force, from the present comparative safety of the countv. He was very happy, allll no one rejoiced more than fiedi'l, 'hat tlie county had returned lo peace and tran- quillity but he could not disguise from himself, lhat tor the last few months, we had had the assistance and exertions of an able Police Force, ",110 ha,1 always displayed great moderation, firm- ness trood temper, and vigilance, in the discharge of their duties. He acknowledged with pie isdre the fact of an altered state of the country. It now remained for the Magistrates lo say what steps they would take to preserve the peace to which it had returned. He did not think any gentletu iii present woul,1 s.-u that it would lie to return to the old system of the county constabulary. What oiher force, then, did the stale of society render it neces- sart to establish, in order to preserve peace and pre\ ent a repeti. tion or those outrages which had produced such calamitous re- sult. ? He reminded the Magistrates that the con lilIes 01 Car- marthen and Cardigan had established a Itural Police, and he thought that if similar stells were not taken í!1 thtscountt, the Magistrates would be indirectly aiding anil assisting wrongdoers in ihe adj Hiring comities to escape into thi, where they would be heyond Ihe reach of apprehension, and have greater lacilitief, af- forded them of committing offences here with impunity. He thought they most not consider the state of the county the s-mie now as it was a few vears ago he was formerly always glad 10 acknowledge that the Pen.hiokeshiie people were proverbial for peace and good order but w >s sorry that the late disturbances had put it out ot his power to say so any longer, and he did not see how it would be either prudent or sate to a ow the Metropo- litan police force lo he withdrawn without placing another efficient force it. their stead, and he warned gentlemen ot lie responsibility of remoi in" thai force and not replacing it b> another, unless tliev were fullv convinced that another was unnecessary. MR. I, BKAIIGH AlI,EN seconded the motion. He was not prepared to more than to expre-s his strong opinion of the necessity 01 doing somelhing to preserve the peace and >ecuritv of the countv. It was true that the county at present was in a state of security, but the experience of the last few months had con- vinced him that it was possible another ombteak might lake place before long. He bad always been in favour of a rural po- lice for, but admitted lhat the most serious objection to it was the expet se attendant on it, and that objection was enhancerl at Ihe present lime, when the county was in a poor and depressed slale. Y.-t he thought that something must certainly be done, and tha it was impossible to leave Ihe peace of ifce county in the hands of those who formerly had the care of it. He could not help drawing the attention ot the Magistrates to the outrages that had recently been comniined. Not long, ago, a poor mail wrts murdered in bis own house, because he faithfully pe, formed his nnty to his employer. Il was Irue the prisoners werr brought lo trial, but it was through ihe assistance ol policemen from London that thev were apprehended, because the parish constables would not do their dun. Nearer liO'ue, a Clergyman was deliberately shot at in the dead of night, but no person had been apprehended on file charge, and if seemed now 10 have been almost forgotten. They could not sav, under these circtim.tances, that the count, was in a stale of safelv. He believed that. notwithstanding the expense of a rural police force, it would be the best, and, on the whole, the cheapest plan that could be adopted. Whatever the expense might be. be thought it would he cheaper than, after offences had been committed, to spend money in the prosecution of the oflenders. The Rev. Tlios. M ah TIN rose to propose an amendment. He said the Hon. Vice-Lieutenant had thought proper to bring for- ward the subject of the introduction 01 a rural-police. It was in ihe recollection of every individual present, that scenes of dis- grace had been witnessed in the county. but those scenes, be was happy to say, had gone by-the county had now recognized the doe ayll oritj of the law, and bad returned to peace and tran- quillity. He reminded the Magistrates of the memorials which had been presented by a lar¡,;e portion of the yeomen of the county, declaring their willingness to serve as special constables, and assist in preserving the public peace. Not loLg ago, he ad- dressed a body of 100 of this ciass, and he felt convinced that tliey were ready, at al) times, to come forward and prev* nt any ■ te.sli outbreaks. He thought that, at present, when the county was burdened with heavy taxation, and laboured under great agricultural depression, it would not be light to impose an addi- tinnnl burden of 2n01/. a-year, by the establishment of a police, forc-j. He tlierefore had thoughl proper to move the fol u»ing amendment :— llie M..i:tstiates of the County, in Quarter Sessions assembled, haying been invited to deceit upon tiie propriety of tilt:" iniro.iiir' ion of a iJitt <! i'l.lice, ft'tl' themselves C,1lierl upon such a measure on the uteseiit occasion. Perfectly well aware of tiie depressed state of agriculture, iliey are averse to impo-e any heavy a-tflitional burdens up 'h ihe yeomanry and indnstiious population of tin- County, uiikI llity lereivc s!ic;i ioror-rtation as 5h-dl clearly demonstrate the impossibility ut preserving the peace au I »er uriiy oi s>Ki«ly, without the im;i.dact:on ot the expensive agency of a Hural P ■it i." Mr. JOHN HENRY" Phu.IPPS tli^.i addressed the Tiench. lie felt nirnseif called on to say a lew words on tire pteseal occasion, because five vears ago it was Li, lot, in con:iiction with another .Magistrate, Mr. Adam-, of Holy land, to take tome steps on the subject ui the Couiily Constabulary. The subject then under thv consideration of the Sessions, was the eliiciencv ol the cotisia- buiary force that then existed and an opinion appeared to pre- vail among Ilie Magistrates, that an alteration was called for. He at Utfil time, iu oonnecfioj) wjjJj Mr. Atkins, moved Ui? o?t- ponenient of the question till the following sessions, and it was accordingly postponed hut when he had returned to the coantrv, after the sessions to which the question was adjourned, he found that the Magistrates, in their aversion to a rural police, had come to the opinion Inaltlle existing constabulary force was sufficient. fit fact, they had at that sessions gone so far one way :is they at the prel iOlls sessions were disposed to go the other. The senti- ments which he then exptessed were those which he now enter- tamed, tint withstanding ail thiit happened in the mean time. H.? then thought that the constabulary required sosue amendments, and oe tuought so still: but lie was not prepared to go so far as to vtv tfiat the iiighly-wrongbt system of a rtiia! police was called for in this county. He hoped that, although moderate views were seldom tooled aI, and although the advocacy oi inoderuiiou never made a man popular, yet that, Oil ihe present occasion, sentiments of moderation would be entertained by the Magis- trates, and that all would agree that somelbi.-ig was necessary to improve the coustaoulary force and if s ."h a ieyv of the matter were taken, he thought that their intentions might be carried into effect under the pro' isions of the->lh and liin virloria, for the improvement of parish constates. That Act enables M agistrates to establish lock-up houses in i|,e various districts of llufcounty, and lo appoint a superintending poiice-constable over the other constables oi the parishes included in those districts. One great advantage of adopting this course was. that there was no clause in the Act preventing the Magistrates from abandoning it when- ever they thought proper, but « itb reference lo a rural police, he believed there was great difficulty in breaking it up after it had been established, the consent of the Got eminent iJeiug neces- sary before that could be done. He therefore submitted, that of Ihe two measures which were proposed for adoption, both of which were matters ot speculation, and one onl > of which admitted of Magistrates retracing their steps, if tliev should so think proper, it would certainly be the most prudent to adopt the one which alloyved of such a course. He would f irlher unserve, that with regard to the improvement of the constabulary, under the 5111 and Gth Victoria, Sir Jones, ihe Chairm in of the Breconshire Quarter Sessions, in his evidence before the Conirnissione. s of Enquire in ales, had stated thai such a course had been insli- toted in thai comity, and had ivo ked ,yel! and he nmended it to small counties in pr-^eieirce to II rural p.olice. — Mr. Poiiipps then read and moved his amendment :— The Magistrates, though lirey do not feel themselves called on to impose such a tiuiden 011 the ratepayers as lhe estabIishnio.it of a Krnal Police wot.Iti involve, are of opinion that the alitred state of sori- ty, arising from increase of population ami tnoie rapid iute.course 'n i'h other pa.Is uf the Kinxdo demands some corresponding aiteiation in the Constahtilaiy Force, and they are prepared to give iheir b. si a lell tion to ;10) measure lor it- improvement ythich may be consistent Willi the maititeiiaiire of local control ind economy ul Mr. JR-XCU, the Chairman, then addressed the Bench. M-said Col. Owen had observed ibal nobody would oppose a rural police on tile g\ on nd of I lie siillioiency ol t he existing constabulary. He agreed with the Colonel in saying, that the existing force WHS most inefficient be thought ali would admit lhat it yvas in truth a per I ect nuisance. He did think that some additional force was necessary, but the question WIIS, what a-dditional force are we 10 have? Were thev prepared lo a U.pt a rural police? From his knowledge of the coonty. lie was fully convinced that no such force was necessary. He believed that no fresh oul breaks would lake place, and that the county had now returned to that state of tranquility and good order for which it had all nlong, until the late unhappy disturbances, been remarkable. He held in his hlllld an absiract of the petitions presented 10 the Cojrt at the fast sessions: there were no less than 19 frotn file hundred of Dews- land, 9 from Dungleddv, 17 from Kemes, 1 frotn Narberth, and 9 from Roose, signed in the aggiegate by 10/5 persons, princi- pally composed of the respectable yeomanry of the county; they protested against a rural police, and dec ared their yvillingness to come forward to act as special constables, and assist in prestrv ing good order. He was persuaded that the Pembrokeshire y eomanry were not apt to lie, and lie could rely on them for their support. What xvould the expense of a rural police he ? Already upyvards of 1000/. had been paid for the small force of .Metropolitan police noxv in the county, and up to that day the expense altogether in- curred was not less than 1520/. He understood lhat if a rural police force, consisting of an inspecto 25 constables, and 4 horses, were established, the annual expence of its support would be not less than 2400/. How could this large sum be raised in the present state of the county, burdened as it was with heavy taxes and local rates? He admitted that the end to be obtained by the establishment of such a force was admirable, but the means were not proportioned to it thererore, other and less expensive means must be devised, and he had no donbt that the end wlluld be attained without liat ing recourse to such expensive machinery. He trusted that the days of lumalt were over, and he fully relied Of) the 1700 persons who had signed the memorhllo the Court anil if they were only true to themseires, lie was convinced that it would be quite unnecessary to burden tue county with such etiorraons expenses. Col OWES shortly addressed the bench in reply. A frer sOllie discussion, Mr. PH 11. IP PS withdreyv his amendment, on the understanding that he was to put it as a distinct inoiion in the event of Col. Owen's motion being negaliy ed. The question was then put, and the votes taken, when there appeared for Col. Owen's motion. 3; for Mr. Martin's amend- nient, 28. Majority against a rural police, 25 We understand the gentlemen composing the minority were the honourable mover and seconder, and the Rev. J. W James, of Robeston Walfiau. Mr. J. HENRY PHtLirrs then moved a resolution affirming the principle embodied in his amendment, which was seconded by W. H. LEWIS, Esq., of Clvnfew, and adopted unanimously. The Court ihen adjourned till Wednesday, on which day the only business done was the examination of the Treasurer's accounts. BRECONSHIRE EASTER QUARTER SESSIONS. These Sessions were held on Monday and Tnesday last. before John Jones, Esq., Chairman, and other MagistrHtes, among whom we noticed Penrv Williams, Esq.. the Lord Lieutenant. On Monday, after the Countv business was transacted, the appeals under the rules settled at'the previous Quarter Sessions were called on. The ollly appeal tried was the parish of Llanthetly, Brecoushire, appellants, and the parish o fLliinzlitiof-k, in the same county, respondents, touching the removal 01 Rees Evans.

Appeal lodged, and respited until the next Quarler Sessions.—On Tnesdav morning, Ihe Grand Jury, of whom Evan Williams, Esq., of Pipton, was foreman, were sworn. The calendar contained fhe name of one prisoner only, Mary Lewis, who was charged wit. siealing vari- ous articles, the properly of her master, Henrv Jeffreys the I younger, of Crickhowell. She received a most excellent clia- racier, and the jury immediately returned a verdict of Not Guilty. The business of the Sessions concluded about two o'cluck on Tuesday.

The drapers of Monmouth have determined upon opening their shops at eight o'clock in the morning, and closing at the same hour iiTthe evening. COAL DELUSION.—About ten months asfo, five colliers with the consent of his Grace the Dnke of Cleveland, com- menced boring for coal in the Flalfs, near Barnard Castle, and after exioriing large sums of money from the coal- anxious inhabitants, IIntllalwlllin" about fifteen weeks, thev nt length came to the ''black tieasure" at a depth of 21 fathoms. News was quickly brought to the town; tlie Church bells were rung, and all seemed to rejoice at the intelligeiic,e. A day was appointed for boring through the seam and, in the presence of the Duke's viewer and many of lie respectable inhabit ants, coal was draw n, and the seam declaied lo be three feet six inches thick.

"NEW PRISON REGULATION.—By the recommendation -of the Inspectors of Prisons, the Magistrates at our last Quarter Sessions ordered that, for the future, the Turnkeys of Cardiff Gaol and Swansea House of Correction should wear an uniform 01 green, trimmed with red, with the letters C. G. on the collars of the foiiner, and S. G. on those of the latter. The intention of the change is, that the circumstance of these ofncials being every where known and recognised, may operate as a check on their behaviour. THE IRON TRADE.—The quarterly meetings of Iron- masters during the present week will take place under circum- stances more cheering and with prospects more favourable than liave existed (or sereral years past. Calling to mind our obser- vations made upon the trnde in January last, it appears that the Maintenance of prices at that time has been fully justified by the results during the p-st quarter. The orders have been larg-e and steadily increasing during that period; and notice of an advance ot ten 'shillings per ton has been given bl inanv of the principal makers to their customers in tha course of the last month, on all orders received subsequent to that notice, accompanied by an intimation that the limitation to that advance was extended only to quarter-day. At the preliminary meeting of the principal Ironmasters, which is always lie'd t":1 days or a fortnight before the close of the quarter, it appeared to be fully understood that a further and general advance would be justified thers can there- fore be little doubt tint the rate a-reed upon this week for Staf- fordshire iron will be fu) v twenty shillings above that of last quarter and thai this will be well sustained there can exist no doubt, as tite orders already in the hands of some of the prin- cipai fi, OTIS are sufficient to Inke oii the full amount of their pio- dnction.—The demand for Railways has been an increasing one; and thecontrac's which were made a few months since on belialt of some of the Rail way Companies upon terms very favourable to their interest, will lead the Ironmasters to exercise much camion as to what extent they may commit themselves even at the advanced price. The favourable state of the public Revenue, one of the main causes which tends to re-establish public confi- dence, must be felt in a favourable operation upon this bianch of trade.—While the iniprovenient of the prospects of a most im- portant branch of our manufactures is a subject of congratulation to the commercial community generally, and to those who are e'igqtjrpd in it in particular, it ought to be stated that during the long- and trying depression under which their tn.de has laboured, 110 elass oflhe manufacturinginterest has more manfully struggled against tbeirdiilieulties, more honourably met their engagements, or moie equitably and kindlv considered their workmen, than have the Ironmasters of this district. It is only to he hoped that no over-sanguine expectations may be indulged on the part of the producers, nor encouraged hv rasli speculation on the part of the purchasers but that a supply adequate to the demand onh mav be furnished on the one hand, to in et a bona fide. demand for con- sumption on the other; on those principles only can it be ex- pected that re'ruuer-itng prices can be permanent, and learlul reactions avoided.—iris's Birmingham Gazette. LAUNCH AT PI-MBKOKK DOCK-YARD.—ON Wednes- day se'nnight, a splendid gun brig, called the Flying Fish was launched at Pembroke. The event excited considerable in- terest from the fact of her being one of those vessels constructed hy the Surveyor of the Navy for the experimental squadron. This beautiful vessel was named by Miss Butler, the daughter *»f Captain Butler, of Haverfordwest. VESSI-.L FOUNDI.RED.—Duriritr the dense fo £ on Mon- day se'nnight, the schooner Ada, of Penzance, Calit. Curnow, struck on a sunken rock near the Land's End, and went down in about ten minutes aiterwards. She wascoa) taden, and bound to that place from Newport. The crew took to •lie boat, and fell in with the schooner Byram, of Triuo, Curtis, master, on board which vessel they remained till the following moinirg, when they Iftt in their boat, and landed at Penzance about twelve o'clock. The vessel belonged to three or four gentlemen of Penzance, who, we understand, are not insured. ILFRACOMBK.—'Wednesday morning, a messenger from Morthoe brought intelligence that a large vessel had Come on shore about ten o'clock on Tuesday night, in a dense fog. She was a vessel of abollt 600 tons burden, from 'lie Hay of Honduras, laden with logwood and mihogany, bound to London. The master states that they discovered a I'glit, through the fog, which they took for the Start Light, Consequently thought they were in the English Channel, '"stead of which it must have been the light on Lundy Island. The crew were all safd bat the ship is quite jammed be- tween two rocks, her bottom nearly beaten out, and there 's no hope of getting her off. Her name is the Francis, of "Whitehaven, Captain Mc Lean. RESTITUTION. —A few days since a parcel was left at the residence of a gentleman, near this city, by a person Unknown. On opening it, it was found to contain a 5/. note snd some silver, together with a document stating that the Writer had some vears before defrauded the gentleman of sum mentioned, which he now begged to return with ,crest.— Bristol Mercury. SorTIl WALKS AND SOUTH OF litFLAND RAILWAY.— important line of railway is to be laid down from Stone- ''ouse, on the Great Western line, across the river near ^'•irton to Carmarthen. The route will be through the Forest °f Dean, opening the vast mineral ot that distiict, to Mon- mouth, thence down the vale ofUsk, to beyond Brecon, and by the river Towy to Carmarthen. Although "°'ith Wales is so mountainous in character, nature seems have provided a level line of country for a railway. 1 wo R'eat interests will be materially benefitted by the projected hne, viz.:—the Great Western railway and the mining pro- perty on "the hills." The traffic on the former will, of cotirse, be extensively increased.—Bristol Gazette. Nhw RAILROAD.— Among the numberless specula "°ns of the day, one of the most novel is a project tor pnr- S-sitig one-half of the great lurnpike-road from London to 'istol, to lay down a wooden tram-way or rail, and to tun st<;am.carri3ges upon it. The speed, it is stated, will be ac- ^•nplished with ease at fiotn 18 to 20 miles an hour, and t h.e tares are to be at least 25 per cent. under the present ttllway charges. We have heard, but we cannot vouch tor 'e t nth of the assertion, that a company is already formed, in the course of fo'niition, for carrying the scheme into *^cntioti.— Bristol Times. Lusus NATUKJE.—On Tuesday las', A cow, tlie pro- fe.r'y of Mr. Price, Vcnnv Vach, near Brecon, biought foi th *ln calves united from the shoulder to the tail, but with j^Opefpg, |ieaf|s, (W0 tails, and eight legs; two of the hind °§s being also joined but separa'iugat the knee. — Silurian. p.
