They are prepared by an able and experi- enced chemist, and are acknowledged, by the faculty, to be the most valuable medicine for all disorders of the stomach and derangements of the liver ever prepared. It is a well-known fact that most of the diseases incident to the human race arise from a disordered stomach, and an irregular state of the bowels, and for want of a suitable remedy, taken in time, thousands of (at first) simple maladies become serious illnesses To guard against this great evil, and to preserve the blessings of health, these pills are confidently and earnestly recommended. They act generally on the constitution, cleanse the blood of all impurities; regulate the secretions, and give tone to the stomach; correct the morbid con- dition of the Ivrer, regulate the bowels, and, by, removing all impediments, restore elasticity and vigour to the whole frame.

PROFESSOR MORRIS AND THE BRECON COUNTY TIMES. Professor Morris has found his level,—and that in a newspaper the columns of which are peculiarly well adapted for his style of writing. Well does he know what would have been the result of his for- warding to us for insertion such a conglomeration of personal abuse and wilful mis-statements-as against any individual, or individuals—as he sent forth to the public last week through the medium of his favourite organ. If we mistake not Professor Morris has been in the mud before, and, as far as we are concerned, he may wallow to his heart's content, unheeded and unchallenged. Abuse (knowing the character of the individual), we expected—mis-statements (wilful though they be) we were not surprised at; but to find a man whom it would have been supposed, from his posi- tion, at all events, would have been amen- able to the usages of common decency, transferring bodily to the columns of a public newspaper a note written to him under the seal of privacy without leave or license, or without even asking it,—this we candidly admit we were not prepared for. Might not such a man be characterized as Shakespeare has characterized the man who hath no music in his soul ?" And this is the man, forsooth, who undertakes to teach others ethical principles; he who arrogates to himself the position of a censor of grammar, and writes thus (substituting our own italics for his) "What I required was the return of my letter according to the promise made by the Reporter in the Editor's name, and which I think the public ought to know is that the Editor won't stand to his promise The self-styled logician, who delivers himself in these words:— What consistency is there in rejecting the same matter in the form of a letter while accepting it in the form of a speech. There was no more obligation to report the -speech than to publish the letter." Well may it be asked, "Can such things be P" but- —— 'Tis true: 'tis true, 'tis pity; And pity 'tis, 'tis true. We should have much more to say to Professor Morris if we could meet him on equal terms; but this we are happy in saying we cannot do, especially after the conduct of which he has been guilty. A speech delivered at a public meeting of which we pub- lished afull and faithful report.

TOWN COUNCIL MEETING. On Monday, at noon, a special meeting of the Corporation was held at the Town-hall, "for the purpose of considering and taking such proceedings as, on the part of the said Council, are required for supplying the extraordinary vacancy in the said Council, occasioned by the disqualification of Mr. John Griffiths, as a member thereof." The Mayor (P. Bright, Esq.) presided, and there were also present Alderim n Thomas and Lucas, Councillors W. de Winton, J. Davies (ex-Mayor), G. Cansick, J. Prothero, A. A. Walton, and J. R. Cobb. The Town Clerk read the notice convening the meeting, and said it was necessary in order to found proceedings that the Council should formally declare the office void. Mr. Rich: Has he legally disqualified himself from serving? The Town Clerk He has compounded with his creditors. Mr. Rich Would a deed of assignment be suffi- cient disqualiifcation? The Mayor stated that his attention had been called to the matter some weeks ago, and he men- tioned it to the Town Clerk. He thought Mr. Griffiths bad legally disqualified himself, but it was thought more advisable to have the election to supply lhat vacancy and the usual election at different I inaes, because, if they took place at the same time, it would be necessary to have two sets of voting papers. He thought there was no doubt as to his having made an assignment, and thus disqualified himself from. sitting at that Board. Mr. Cansick had heard from professional gentle- men that he had not disqualified himself, because he had not made himself a bankrupt. The Town Cierk said the only question was whether the Council were satisfied that an assign- ment had taken place. Mr. Thomas would perhaps be able to inform them on that point. Alderman Thomas replied that he was profession- ally concerned, and therefore would not give any opinion. The Mayor said he had had to perform a most unpleasant duty in granting two search warrants, on the application of the trustees, and a still more painful one in an application for a warrant for his apprehension by one of the trustees, who distinctly swore that the property was that of the trustees. Mr. Rich The only reason I had for asking the question was that we might be acting perfectly right in what we did. The Town Clerk said they were not required by law to act according to the strict rules of evidence as io courts of justice. They should be satisfied with the moral conviction, which was the chief foundation of the majority of their acts in life. If in point of fact Mr. Griffiths bad not compounded with his creditors by deed, it would be competent for him to question the fact before a person be appointed to succeed bim. Mr. W. de Winton thought they were rather pre- mature. They appeared to have received no official or public notice of a deed of assignment. It was a hard case that a person could not compound with his creditors without appearing before the public in that way. The Mayor said if they thought they would add to the credit or respectability of the Board by con- tinuing a member one who had had bills all over the town advertising his furniture and effects to be sold under a deed of assignment, they could do so. He (the Mayor) had done his duty but probably they might, be disposed to take stronger measures if in a few hours Mr. Griffiths were apprehended and brought before the magistrates upon a more serious charge. Mr. W. de Winton Is there any need for taking those steps at once P The Mayor: I have no idea but this has occurred a long time. The ex-Mayor thought the Mayor had done his duty, and had acted as anyone else in his position woul4 have done. If, however, the Council took upon themselves not to take any action, that would be their own affair. Mr. Cobb Has this Board legal notice of the dis- qualification ? 00 The Town Clerk It has had no official notice. A good deal of conversation ensued amongst individual members of the Board, and after some time had elapsed Mr. W. de Winton moved that the matter stand over. Mr. Prothero seconded the motion. The Town Clerk asked if it were to be adjourned sine die. Alderman Lucas suggested it should be adjourned until they had legal proof of the disqualification. Some further discussion took place, and then that day three weeks was mentioned as the day to which the subject should be adjourned. Ultimately it was arranged that it should be decided upon at the usual monthly meeting in November. THE BOUGHKOOD CHARITY. The selecting then took place of six boys to be apprenticed by the Boughrood Charity, and the children of the following persons were chosen to be apprenticed to the masters named :-David Jenkins, blackimith Henry Price, carpenter; Elizabeth Herbert-r-J ohn James, Dainter Morgan Davies, sawyer Roger Williams, Libanus Wm. Wright- ■'°w'ii,0DeS| la'lor and James Williams, carpenter Williams and Sons. Each boy is apprenticed for five years, the master receiving £ 4 now, and £ 6 at the end of the apprenticeship. If the boy has con- ducted himself properly he receives X2 at the end of his term. This was all the business before the meeting.

THE QUARTER SESSIONS. A SUBJECT of some importance to the rate- payers, which was discussed at the Quarter Sessions for this county, held during the past week, was that of building a new gaol and also a gaol chapel. The county are in this unfortunate position, that the cells for the female prisoners do not come up to the require- ments of the Act of Parliament. This state of things has continued for some time, and has been reported by the Government Inspector, resulting in 'an intimation that unless the requirements of the Act are complied with, the allowance made by Government towards the expenses will be discontinued. This amounts to a considerable sum,—over £ 200,— and, even supposing that Government had no power to inflict any other punishment than the stoppage of this allowance for non-compliance with their order, it would scarcely pay—look- ing at the matter in the narrowest manner possible-for the magistrates to decline to do what they are required. But Government has other powers which it can exercise if the Court of Quarter Sessions is contumacious and if the cells are not put in the state required by Act of Parliament, it would be possible for Government not merely to refuse to pay the amount now contributed towards the mainten- ance of the prisoners, but also to shut up the gaol itself, and remove the prisoners to that of another county. This would be an indignity to which, we should think, the county would not be prepared to submit, and therefore the magistrates have taken preliminary measures to comply with the order of Government. It will be seen, however, from the report of the County Surveyor, and the dicussion upon the subject, that it is virtually impossible to alter the existing cells so that they may be of the proper size, since it would be necessary, in fact, to pull to pieces the old gaol and the gover- nor's house and after that had been done there is every probability that it would cost nearly as much as a new building, and be then but a patchy concern. It seems tolerably clear, therefore, that an addition must be made to the present building, and that new cells must be built for the accommodation of the female prisoners. But whether it be decided to alter the existing cells, or to build new ones, the magistrates are confronted by a clause in the Act of Parliament which says that wherever a new prison is built, or a prison altered, a chapel or suitable room shall be provided, easy of access, and strictly set apart for religious pur- poses, and for the moral and religious instruc- tion of the inmates. For a long time past Divine worship has been performed in the corridor, which many of the magistrates con- sider is well adapted for the purpose. Having ourselves seen this corridor, we must confess that we concur most unreservedly in this opinion. The place in question is light and airy, and in winter can be, and is, well warmed. Government requires, however, that a place should be specially set apart for Divine wor- ship and, of course, this corridor could not be so set apart, being used as a place for exercis- ing the prisoners in when the state of the weather will not allow of out-door exercise. A new chapel must therefore be built, or the old one made use of. The latter place is about as unsuitable as a place built for a chapel can well be; and the corridor is a much superior place in every respect-excepting, of course, its "secular" use. Notwithstanding this drawback, however, we venture to say that if the kind of place has anything to do with the state of a man's religious feelings, it would be far easier to cherish right thoughts in the corridor than in the so-called "chapel." In addition to this, there is at present no means for warming the old chapel, arid we think it must be admitted that if a prisoner be shiver- ing with cold, it is scarcely likely there will be much "warmth" about his devotions, or that he can give undivided attention to the truths sought to be impressed on his mind. But these are not the only objections to the use of the old chapel. The access to it is bad; and further, it being some distance from the new prison, it would be necessary to have one or two more warders, so that the prisoners might be properly guarded in the passage to and fro. As such an expense would be a permanent one, it would go a considerable way in itself towards erecting a new chapel. Taking all these things into consideration, it would appear that the wisest course, after all, will be to build new cells and a chapel over. To do this there will be no need to purchase ground there is sufficient ground at present owned by the county; and it will therefore only be necessary to knock down a portion of the east wall, and build the cells and chapel close to the new portion of the gaol. Communication from one part to the other will then be easy; and, as the Rev. Mr. Griffith pointed out, this arrange- ment will obviate the necessity for a second warming apparatus, and possibly a second stoker. Unwelcome as the thought is, there seems no way of preventing this additional burden being thrown upon the ratepayers; but in carrying out any scheme that may be resolved upon, the magistrates will, no doubt, have a due regard to economy and the pockets of the ratepaying portion of the community.

FASHIONABLE WEDDINGS. On Wednesday last was celebrated the mar- riage of Thomas Samuel Barrow, M.D., assistant- surgeon 23rd Royal Welsh Fusiliers, eldest son of Thomas Walter Barrow, inspector-general of hospitals, with Catherine Mary, second daughter of the late George Rees Bevan, Esq., of Pengay, Carmarthenshire. The ceremony was performed at the Priory Church, which was deco- rated with flowers, and triumphal arches were erected in the Priory grounds, under which the bridal party would have to pass, the arches bearing the inscriptions "Long life to the happy couple," and others of similar import. The hour fixed upon was half-past 10 o'clock, but long before that time a large number of persons had congregated within the walls of the sacred edifice. The bridegroom first of all made his appearance, attended by Lieut. Dawson, 23rd R. W. F., and the other groomsmen shortly afterwards followed, viz. Capt. Millett, Mr. John Barrow, and Mr. Edward Barrow, brothers of the bridegroom Mr. and Mrs. Barrow, Mr. and Mrs. Edward Williams, and Miss Sarah Lloyd were also present. The bridesmaids were four in number —Miss Bevan (sister of the bride), Miss M. A. Downes, Miss Leach, and Miss Moss (cousins of, the bride). They each wore dresses of white Japanese silk, trimmed with cerise satin, tulle veils, and wreaths of cerise verbena, mignonette, blackberries, and frosted leaves. The bride came into church leaning on the arm of Mr. Maliphant, who acted as father, and gave her away. She wore a dress of white silk, trimmed with white satin fringe, veil of Honiton lace, and wreath of orange blossoms, laurustinus, and pearl ornaments. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. Garnons Williams, M.A., of Abercamlais, assisted by the Rev. Chas. Griffith, M.A., of Glyncelyn, and at its conclusion the party adjourned to the Priory, where the wedding break- fast took place. Later in the day the happy couple departed for the Isle of Wight, en route for Paris, to spend the honeymoon. Throughout the day the bells of the Priory church rang merry peals. We understand that the bridal presents are unusually numerous and valuable, and include several from the trade, tenants, and servants. On Thursday morning was solemnised the nuptials of Colonel Bridgwater with Mrs. Jones Williams, of Coity. The ceremony was performed at Llanvigan church, by the Rev. Henry Bridgwater, brother of the bridegroom, assisted by the Rev. William Meredith, rector of Llanvigan, and the Rev. David Williams, vicar of Llanthetty. The wedding party were conveyed to church in seven pair-horse car- riages, and white favours were worn by the drivers The bride, who was given away by Captain Miers, was attired in a superb grey silk dress, and also wore a white lace mantle, and bonnet trimmed with jessamine. The bridesmaids were five in number— Miss Bridgwater, and Miss Ellen Bridgwater, of Broomfield, sisters of the bridegroom; Miss Jones Williams, Miss Annie Bridgwater, and Miss C. Lloyd. The two former wore white silk dresses, with lace mantles, and the three latter dresses of white tarlatan and Japanese hats. The groomsmen were Captain Jones, of Llandovery, and J. A. F. Snead, Esq., of Pwll Court. After the ceremony the bridal party returned to Coity, where a breakfast of a very recherche character had been provided. Amongst the company were Captain and Mrs. Perring, Miss Wheeler (London), Dr. Bridgwater (Harrow), J. P. Bridgwater, Esq. (barrister, London), Captain Miers, Miss Webb, Major and Mr. George Bonner (Deanery of St. Asaph), Captain Jones, J. A. F. Snead, Esq., &c. The wedding presents were extremely numerous, and of a most costly description, and included some elegant gifts from the tenantry and workmen. On the evening pre- ceding the wedding a large number of the gentry were entertained at Coity, and on the evening of the wedding the tenantry and workmen, besides the school children, were also hospitably received, and bountifully supplied with good things. In the grounds at Coity several very tastefully-constructed arches had been erected, and bore the inscription, God bless the happy pair)" and the general rejoicing in the neighbourhood proved that the deepest interest was taken m the event.

BRECON POLICE INTELLIGENCE. COUNTY PETTY SESSIONS, SATURDAY, before GEORGE OVERTON, Esq., Major CONWAY LLOYD, and the Rev. C. GRIFFITH. INFRINGEMENT OF THE DOG LAWS.-Dd. Edwards of Tanydarren, Llanthetty, was summoned for hav- ing a dog without a license on the 20th of August. In reply to the case, the defendant said he had taken out a license last year, and he intended doing so this year, but he lived seven miles from a church, and had seen no notice.—The magistrates considered that the defendant had incurred a penalty, and fined him JE1 5s. As an application had been made to the commissioners in London to remit altogether the penalties inflicted by the magistrates on Saturday week, no answer to which had yet been received, a month was allowed for payment of the money.
