MESSRS MASKELYNE AND COOKE. Messrs. Maskelyne and Cooke during their stay in Tenby varied their programme considerably, making an expose of Spiritualism a prominent fea- ture, and, on the evenings of Friday and Saturday, they gave two dark seances a la Brothers Daven- port. On Friday evening the performers were specially engaged by to give a private seanee, that gentleman causing invitations to be issued that drew together the elite of Tenby and neighbourhood. As spiritualism has lately occupied so much at- tention in the public mind, a brief description of wliat took place will doubtless be acceptable to our w readers. The performers entered the room in their ordi- nary evening dress, and obtained the assistance of two gentlemen to act as a committee on behalf of the audience; they were then seated one on either side of à small table, on which were placed several musical instruments, bells, and speaking trumpets. The performers, the room, table, chairs, and instru- ments having been thoroughly examined by the gentlemen of the committee, the lights were ex- tinguished. The pianist, Mr. W. L. Faust, then played Sweet spirit hear my prayer," and as it was quite dark it was, of course, played feelingly. As soon as this ceased, a very pleasing cornet duet was heard, doubtless emanating from two instru- ments placed on the table; no sooner was this finished, and hardly allowing an individual, under ordinary cireu IinstAnces-ie., perfectly free,—time to replace the instruments, when a light was again struck, and the two performers were found securely fastened with ropes to the chairs, their legs tied most securely to the front legs, their hands pinioned behind their backs in a manner most extraordinary; the very moment the lights were again extinguished, the instruments became agitated, and.a little phos- phorus having been placed on them, they were seen floating in mid-air round the room; spirit hands, likewise illuminated, were seen and felt; gentle- mens' hats were taken off, and placed on the heads of other gentlemen; flowers were distributed freely to the most remote corners of the room in fact, some of the most extraordinary manifestations took place. Suddenly a light was called for by one of the performers, which having been struck, the instruments suddenly stopped in their aerial flight, and fell in different parts of the room; a coat be- longing to a gentleman in the room was found on the back of Mr. Maskelyne; and the two gentle- men were found secured as at first, although a member of the committee had sealed the knots and placed his private crest thereon, which were found intact, and the performers feet were found In exactly the same place as in the previous inter- val of light, chalk marks having been made round the feet in order to ascertain. The audience were again placed in darkness, and after a lapse of about three minutes (during which the Spirits ? were very active with the instruments, &c.) the performers were found released from their bonds, although their hands had been filled with flour, not a par- ticle of which was found to have escaped, during the process of untying. The room was so arranged that confederacy appeared impossible, the committee blocking up the only approach to the performers, and every member of the audience receiving an invitation from The performance was repeated on Saturday evening.

PROMENADE BAND—The following subscrip- tions have been received since our last issueC. Allen, Esq., £2; — Stainforth, Esq., 5s.; Mr. B. Phillips, Deer Park, 2s. 6d.; Captain Mogg, 10s.; C. T. Evans, Esq,, 10th Regiment, Lancaster Buildings, 10s. We understand that the second ball of the season will take place at the Royal Assembly Rooms on Friday, August 16th. PIAKO-FOBTE RECITAL.Master Jeffery'sPiano- Forte Recital will take place at the Assembly Rooms, on Tuesday next, under the patronage of the Mayor of Tenby, and T. Meyrick, Esq., M.P., and we doubt not, from the well-known talent of the youthful performer, a good attendance may be anticipated. TENBY V OLUNTEBRS.-This corps went out for practice on Monday evening, under the command of Lieut. W. O. Hulm, accompanied by their band. Captain Montgomery, R.A., from Pem- broke-Dock, was again present. Eight shots were fired, when rain beginning to fall heavily, put a stop to further practice for the evening. The tar- get was moored off Giltar Point, at about 1800 yards range. The muster was not large. We hope that on Monday next the attendance will be better, and thus encourage Captain Montgomery in his endeavours to make the corps really efficient, and pass the annual inspection, so that they may obtain the Government Grant. NARROW ESCArE.- Yesterday evening, a little boy, named Jones, had a narrow escape from drowning. It appears that he got into a boat moored at the slip, and by some means fell over the side into the harbour. On coming to the sur- face he caught hold of the rope, and held on until assistance came, when he was taken out very much exhausted. The little fellow had been in the water some time, as there was no one near at the time of the occurrence. POLICE COURT, July 4th, 1869.-Before the Mayor, Dr. Dyster, and W. Rees, Esq John Gifford, jun., fishmonger, was charged by Malcolm Harries with an assault on the previous Wednes- day evening. Defendant pleaded guilty, and was fined £2, with 7s. cost. Money paid.-Evan Jones was charged by P.C. Carew with not being sufficiently near to his horse's head to have control over the animal, while on the stand in South Parade. Case adjourned for a month, defendant ordered to pay costs.

GAME OF ROUNDERS—A match for £ 5 a side, at this old game, was played on the Barrack-hill field, on Saturday evening, between Deptford at d Woolwich men, recently transferred to this dock- yard, and eleven men of this dock-yard—the dis- tance from the gaol to each mark being 25 yards. The entire circuit being 100 yards, this distance (For continuation see page 12.)

We are glad to find the Band is going to play again for Promenade this evening, if wet, in the Assembly Rooms. Subscribers cannot grumble at the moderate charge for admission, as the Band is only engaged for playing on the public promenades if dry, and now those who like to hear a good se- lection of music can do so, and we think the Committee have fairly given Mr. Wallace permis- sion to demand a small entrance fee.
