PEMBROKESHIRE QUARTER SESSIONS. These Sessions commenced on Tuesday last, before the fullowing niagi.,itrates :John H. Philipps, Esq., Chairman Earl Cawdor, Viscount Emlyn, M.P., Geo. Itoeh, J. P. A. LI. Phiiipps, Owen Owen, J. L.Morgan, G. Rowe, G. L. Phillips, G. J. Harries, G. D. Griffiths, N. Roch, E. T. Massey, Xavier Peel, M. Griffiths, and J. Propert, Esquires; The Revds. T. Martin. S. W. Saunders, Canon Melvill, Canon Harries, and William IVatts Harries. The following gentlemen were sworn on the Grand Jury :-T. Griffiths, Lowlands, Carew, G. Llewellin, Wiliiamston, H. Cousins, Castlemartin, T. Hall, Pater- noster, Geo. Harries, Sommerton, Geo. Davies, Little Leonardston, W. Rees, Middle Scoveston, T. Richards, Norton, G. Whittow, Syke, J. Griffiths, Hasguard, J. ^Vathen, Middle Hill, J. Huzzy, Pembroke-ferry, T. Hitchings, Rosemarket, J. Morris, ditto, John Davies, Hilton, and E. Lewis, Hill, ditto. The Chairman in charging the Grand Jury, said it was a matter of regret for the county, the jury, and the court, that the calendar contained so large a number of prisoners for trial at the present sessions but although numerous, it was gratifying to find that the offences presented no feature of an extraordinary character, but were all of the usual nature, so that it might be hoped that the general state of the country as to crime was satisfactory. That opinion was also confirmed by the reports of the Superintendent Constables of the various districts but there was one subject of much inipor- tance referred to in nearly all the reports which had been received, and which had, no doubt, come under the observation of the jury-namely, that of late, vagrancy had been very much on the increase. This was a sub- ject, to the inconvenience of which it was, unfortunately, more easy to allude, than to remedy. There were only, to far as he knew, two courses open to them for remedy- ing this evil. The first was to increase the number of the police force, but this step would involve a very con- siderable augmentation of the expenses of the county, a course which on every hand it was most desirable to avoid, and one which the magistrates would be most reluctant to adopt without a full expression of opinion in favour of it on the part of the inhabitants and rate-payers of the county. It was possible the evil was only of a tran- eitory nature, and was occasioned by the temporary depression of trade if that were the case it was to be hoped that a better state of things would soon take place, and the evil he removed. The other recourse which was open to them was to take advantage of the powers afforded by the Special Constables' Act, which authorised any two or more magistrates, where any riot or tumult took place to appoint special constables for preserving the peace of the district, and to order the payment out of the county funds. The evil was of a Aery serious nature, and if it continued, all he could say on behalf of the magistrates was that they were fully prepared to take any steps that were necessary for the purpose of removing it. In conclusion, the Chairman referred to a few of the cases in the calendar, and called the attention of the jury to their particular circumstances and the law applicable to them. Tue jury then retired. COUNTY ACCOUNTS. On the motion of Lord Cawdor it was ordered, that a Finance Committee be appointed, to consist of all ma- Ristra! es who may attend on the Monday previous to each Quarter Sessions for the purpose of auditing the county accounts, and that all persons having demands nRainst the county he required to attend suca committee on that day in the Grand Jury-room, and that the Irea- furer and Clerk of the Peace be desired to attend with their accounts, and with the returns of all fines levied in the different Hundreds, in order to afford information on all points connected with the finances of the county COUNTY TREASURER. ATie County Treasurer gave notice that in consequence the duties of the office having greatly increased since his aPpointment. in the year 1826, he should at the next Quarter Sessions make application to the magistrates tnen assembled for an augmentation of salary. POOSF LOCK-UP HOUSE. Un tile motion of Geo. Roch, Esq., it was ordered, that the offer of Edward Leach, Esq., of a piece of land Little Ha ven, for the purpuseof the Lock-up House, for the term of sixty years at a rent of £ j os. per an- num, be accepted. REPORT OF THE FINANCE COMMITTEE. The magistrates have audited the accounts, and find a balance due from the County to the Treasurer, of £ 393 14s. 4d. They have also examined the demands upon the County, and suggest that the attention of the County Hall Committee should be directed to the great con- sumption of coal. court 0 Tlwy also beg to draw the attention of the court to the renewal of Mr. Bowen, the coroner's claim for £ 2 12s. 8d. which sum was expended by him, in hold- ing inquests on two men drowned, and which was dis- allowed at the last Quarter Sessions, when Mr. Boweil was not present to offer any explanations. Also to the charge of the superintending constable of the Fishguard district, for horse-hire, to enable him to aftpnd the petty sessions at Eglwyswrw. The County Ireasurer has suggested that a salary should be paid him in lieu of charges which he now makes, for certain extra duties performed by him. TilE SHIRE-HALL. Mr. Rees applied to the Court on behalf of the Town Council of Haverford for authority to the Mayor of the town, to grant permission from time to time for the use of the Shire-hall for holding pubiic meetings. Mr. Rees said it was well understood that the Old Hall belonged to the Corporation of Haverfordwest, and was repaired at their sole expense, but that the County of Pembroke for about 100 jears had enjoyed the un- interrupted use of it for all purposes without beimr called upon to pay anything towards repairs, and he thought that that fact was a reason why the ma- gistrates of the county should delegate to the mayor of the town the power of granting the use of the Hall for public meetings for moral and scientific purposes. Mr. ojd not at all complain of the mode in which the lie;. i lr. Martin had exercised the discretion and a tuorit) entrusted to him by the county magistrates, to I grant or refuse permission for the use of the hull on the contrary, the manner in which Mr. Martin had acted was roost satisfactory to all parties. All that he (Mr. Rees) applIed for, was, that the mayor of the town should have a concurrent power with Mr. Martin. Dr, Morgan supported the application. lie thought that the fact that the Corporation of Haverfordwest had for a great number of years granted the use of their Hall to the County of Pembroke, was a sufficient ground for the county granting to the mayor the privilege now asked The Rev. Thomas Martin said, that, ever since the court of Quarter Sessions had delegated to him the authority to grant permission for the use of the Hall, le had endeavoured in all cases to exercise a proper dis- cretion, and had rever gi-aiied permission i" a;iy instance where he thought the magistrates would disapprove of the Hall beiug used for the puipose. lie had often felt it a delicate and difficult task to deter- mine when to grantor when to refuse permission, but he had invariably refused permissioll to make the Hall the aiena for political discussion, and had felt no hesitation in granting it when the meeting to be hold was for the promotion of any object of a religious or moral nature. I He confessed that on a recent occasion when was made for the use of the Hall for a mus.c.l a<;«t dramatic entertainment, he immediately granted it on the ground that he was informed the performance II a. for the benefit of a poor widow with a large family whose husband had been unfortunately drowned, but lie was not informed that it was intended for scenic operations Oil the occasions, otherwise he should not so readily have assented to the application, and he had since heard that some of the magistrates had complained that the Hall had been used for such a purpose, but lie trusted it was for the best as a large sum had been made for the relief of the necessities of the poor woman and her children. He was now very anxious to resign to the court the authority with which they had invested him, and was desirous that some other gentleman should be appointed. Dr. Morgan and several other magistrates expressed their high satisfaction of the maimer in which Mr. Martin had exercised his authority in the matter, and strongly pressed him to continue, but on Mr. Mar- tin's persisting in his wish to resign, a committee was, on t\" motion of the Chairman, appointed, con- sisting ft ?.< r. Martin, Dr. Morgan, J. Lloyd Philipps, George :1" and John Henry Philipps, Esqrs., to consider of and make regulations for the use of the Hall. The committee to meet on Saturday next. TRIAL OF PRISONERS. Margaret Bowen was indicted for stealing, on the 3rd of December I-ist, at Newport, ten sovereigns, and other money and goods, the property of John Griffiths. Mr. John Lloyd appeared for the prisoner, and stated that he believed she was of unsound mind. After some con- versation, the court ordered a jury to be impannelled to try the question of the prisoner's sanity, who, after hearing evidence, unanimously agreed that the pri- soner was of unsound mind, and returned a verdict accordingly. James Fisher, a tramp, pleaded guilty to an indict- ment for stealing, on the 15th of December last, at Narberth, one "hawl, the property of Richard Phelps. Sentenced to three calendar months' with hard labour. IVm. Vi'arren, a tramp, pleaded guilty to an indict- f, a property of Thomas C;oa :b o the 19th of December last. Sentenced to t%N, z iyiontlis' hard labour. was indicted for stealing, on the 21st of November last, at the parish of Hodgeston, one silver watch, one waistcoat, and other goods, the pro- perty of James Lewis. This indictment was, by order of the court, left for trial at the next assizes, as it appeared, from the depositions, that it was a case of burglary. James Beams, was indicted for having, on the 5th of December last, at the parish of Hasguard, stolen two bushels of barley, the property of Vim, Richards. Mr M. R. James appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Lloyd for the prisoner. Several witnesses were called on the part of the prosecution, one of whom, G. Rees, a labourer with Mr. Richards, deposed that about 4 o'clock in the morning of the 5th of Dec. he went to the haggard to fetch straw for the cattle and saw the prisoner there. He was raising a bag to his shoulders. He ran between two stacks of barley and threw the bag down. Found the barn door open after the man ran awav. Mr. Lloyd addressed the jury on behalf of the prisoner and called Elizabeth Evans, aged 1-3, the prisoner's daughter, who said, my father and mother and I sleep in the same bed. My brother sleeps in a bed in the same room. On the nig-lit it, question, my father went to bed about nine o clock. lie got up til e next morning about six o'clock and went to work. He did not go out during the night. William Evans, aged 12, corroborated the evidence of his sister. The Court then summed up the evidence, and the Jury, after short deliberation returned a verdict of Guilty. was indicted for obtainin" Peter Murray (a tramp), was indicted for obtaining from Mary, the wife of John Morris, of the parish of St. David's, one hat, the property of Jolm Davies under false pretences. The defendant pleaded guilty, SeH- tence—One calendar month hard labour. John Eynon, indicted for stealing, on the 29th Nov. last, at Llanychare, one pair of stockings, the property -d guilty. Sentence, two of Ja,nes plet d ,? month's hard labour. The same John Eynon pleaded uilty to an indict- meo nt for stea lin,, a p,-tir of i)oot.9, tli Ie pv(,petty of John Thomas. Sentence—twocalendarmou'h'shard iabour. Joseph Timmins (a traiiip), charged with stealing on the 4th Dec. last, at Fishguard, nine Jim Crow hats, the property of Thomas Morgans. Pleaded guilty. Sentence—Three calendar month's hard labour. William Broadhurst (a tramp), charged with re- ceiving six of the hats stolen by Timmins, knowing them to be stolen, pleadpd guilty. Sentenced to three calendar months' hard labour. Thomas Jenkins, was indicted for receiving a quan- tity of bread, the property of Thomas Brown, well know- ing the same to be stolen. He was further indicted for stealing the bread. Mr. Morgan R. James appeared for the prosecution. A deposition was put. ill, containing a statement made by prisoner. I am only guilty so far as the meal is concerned." Mr. Lloyd then addressed the jury in a short specch for the prisoner, and called several witnesses who gave him a good character. Verdict.—Not Guillv. Sarah Williams indicted for stealing a quantity of garden produce, and several articles, the property ofThorna Brown. The evidence was similar to that given in the last case Verdict.—Guilty. Sentence, —Three calendar month's hard labour. This concluded the business. HAVERFORDWEST LITERARY AND SCIENTIFIC IN- STITUTION.—On Tuesday evening last, the first of a series of lectures on the history of the middle ages in Europe" was delivered to the members of this institu- tion by Richard Harvey, Esq. The subject was treated in a very able manner, and was listened to with marked attention by the audience, which we are sorry to observe was not so large as might have beeli expected. At the conclusion of the lecture a vote of thanks was unani- mously given to Ir. Haney. WESLEYAN MISSIONARY SOCIEfY,-Th e annual Tea Meeting in aid of the funds of this society, was held on New Year's Day, in the Wesleyan School-room Haver- fordwest, and was attended by a numerous assemblage of both sexes. The arrangements were excellent, and were admirably carried into effect under the superinten- dence of a committee of ladies, through whose exertions the meeting was rendered one of a most agreeable cha- racter. At the conclusion, the company adjourned to the chapel, when addresses were delivered by the Revds. J. Bytheway, T. Heely, Mr. W. Morgan, and others. Biir-rr AND FOREIGN DIRLE SOCI ETY.-A meet- ing uf this society was held at the Town-hall, Fishguard, on the 3rd instant, the Rev. Thomas Luke in the chair. Several addresses were delivered by ministers of dihc- rent denominations. In consequence of the resignation of Col. Hugh Owen as president of this branch of tie societv, it and seconded that John Evans M. p", should be appointed president, which was cairieu with acclamation. FISHGUARD CHURCH SUNDAY SCHOOL.—On the 1st instant, the children of this school were examined 111 the church by the pastor, the Rev. Henry Nathan, Rec- tor of Jordanstone, and afterwards walked in procession, headed by music, to the residence of the rev. gentleman, where they were abur^lantlv regaled, with tea and buns. The renast being ended, the evening hymn was song by he children ait I te aohers after which they separated highly delighted.

Tr!c MinillY JOllntrt! of last week states that in Car- diganshire, several mines have been put. to work of late, among the principal of which are Cwuri Eiifn, Lwlch, Nant-v-cri, and Bodcall. The operations, excepting at Bwich, arc not at present on an extensive scale, but show favourable indications of remunerating the share- holders for their outlav; indeed, it would seem that the attention of miners has not hitherto been sufficiently directed to the mineral wealth of this county. The same number of the Mining Journal states under the title of Gold Mines in England, whtcn properly speaking should be Gold Mines in Wales h.le we hive American returns of Rold mines in California, and mineral riches abroad, we are well pleased to find that at home parties do not lost siajht of the precious metal. It is well known that our metalliferous locks and lodes yield gold and silver, although, in most instances, too minute to render them of any commercial value, and, pern-rally speaking, being found in the gossans. It is now some months since that attention was directed, through our columns, to the produce of g,.Id in Merionethshire, and although the question may be open, as to whether the sovereign is obtained minus or plus the value, yet the fact has been elucidated, that the mineral lodes in North Wales yield gold, a bar of whic.i, weighing 2 l'os. 7 ozs., has been placed in our oicn hands, as the product of the East Cwm-hesian, ilmo, near Dolgdly. The mine is worked for lead, and the lo.*c is represented to us as being inte-laced wit!) stiinga of gold. Sollie G lbs. or 7ibs. of the precious metal have been obtained, and theore at bank will, we are infoimeu, yield at least 200 ozs. of gold. We merely mention the circurnMance, with th" view of diieeting the attention of our readers who may possess information on a suoject so important, as that mooted—the extraction of gtdd from our mineral veins. We are well aware the question is of pounds, shillings, and pence, and having noticed it, we leave it to others to enter into further detail. CHARGE OF DRUNKENNESS AND ASSAULT.—On Thursday last, John. Evans, of Cardigan,was charged before Wiliiam Puillips. and T. G Nugent, Esquires, with having been drunk and disorderly, and assaulting the complainant, Police Constable John Li<>yd. The defendant was fined -5s. and costs for being diunk. and cautioned as to his fu'.uie conduct. j CARDIGANSHIRE QUARTER SESSIONS. Tile General Quarter Sessions of the Peace for this County, were lv ld at the County Sessions House, A bcr- ayron, on Ttiesd iv and Wednesday last, before the fol- lowing magistrates — D. A. S. Davies, Esq., M. P., Chairman, Col. Powell, M. P., Major Lewis, Dr. Llewellin, Capt. Lewes, Capt. Prichard, Captain Saunders, Capt. Gwynne, It. Wil- liams, M. I)., W. H, Lewis, James Bowen, (f. T?. J. Jordan, Cornelius Powell, J. Hughes, G. W. Parry, J. B. 1.1. Philipps, J. Bonltbee, D. Davies, W. Buck, and T. O. Morgan, Esquires. The Grand Jury (of whom Mr. J. Matthews, draper, Aberystwith, was foreman) having been sworn, the learned Chairman addressed them very hripflyon the nature of the cases in the calendar, which were four in number and of the ordinary description, two of them being for house-breaking, and the two others for larceny. W. Buck, Esq., qualified as a Magistrate for the County. TRIALS or PRISONERS. William Bishop, of the parish of Llannhagel-gene'r- glyn, miner, pleaded Not Guilty to an indictment, for breaking into the dwelling-house of the Itev. John Jones, Vicar of Llanfihangel-gene'r-glyn, and stealing therefrom money, consisting of sovereigns, shillings, about 40 sixpenny pieces, and some pence, also one cotton purse, and a leather watch case. Mr. Lasee lies sta ted the case to the jury, and from the learned counsel's statement, and the evidence for the prosecution, it appeared that on the evening of Sunday, the 2Gth of Nov. last, the rev. prosecutor left his house for the purpose of performing divine service at the parish church, and was followed by his servant maid, the only other inmate of the vicarage—that before they went, they took the precaution of locking the doors and fastening the windows. On their return they found that one of the parlour windows had been forced, and the purses and monies which were in a table drawer in the parlour were missing. It was by this time dark. As soon as it was daylight next morning, the rev. gentle- man traced a man's footsteps from near the house across some nelds through which there was no path, into the road and along the road (which was then very soft) for a short distance, to the prisoner's house, about a quarter of a mile from the vicarage. The prisoner's premises were subsequently searched, and on a shelf in an out-house, P. C. Sieholas Davies (who seems to have acted with his usual activity and acuteness, and was presented with E3 by the prosecutor for his exertions) discovered the leather watch-case (which the prosecutor identified) with 19 sixpenny pieces in it; and also 1-5 sixpenny pieces and 3 fourpenny pieces, wrapped up in a piece of rag. The leather case was the only thing that could be iden- tified but there was a peculiarity about the money in- asmuch as it consisted of so many sixpenny pieces, which had been collected at church from the communi- cants on the previous Sunday. The police constable also found a nail which corresponded with some marks made in forcing the drawer which had contained the money. A girl named Mary Hughes, living in a cottage on the road side, also proved that about the time in question, hearing the dog at the vicarage bark, she went out of her house, and saw the prisoner passing by rather fast, and as if out of breath, and she thought he must have come through a gap from the field where the footmarks were traced, and not along the road as she did not hear the sound of his footsteps before she saw him, and she thought she should have done so if he had come that way. This witness also deposed that prisoner in going alon g the road from her house to his own, kept near to the hedgp. The footsteps traced by the prose- cutor corresponded with that account. There were, however,some circumstances favourable to the prisoner. No shoes belonging to him could be found to correspond as to the nail-marks with the foot-prints traced, though the shoes he wore corresponded in size. The marks of tile nail on the drawer also were not noticed until several weeks after the robbery was committed, and it appeared that the drawer had been ultimately forced by some more powerful instrument than the nail in question. Several tramps also had been seen in the immediate neighbour- hood on the evening in question, and in the first instance the constable went in pursuit of them as far as Machyn- Iletli, but found nothing upon them and the outhouse was so situated that the money might have been con- cealed there without the knowledge of the prisoner or any other inmate in his house. It further appeared that the girl did not mention having seen the prisonpr pass by until the following morning, though she was at the vicarage on the previous evening. Mr. Berry addressed the jury for the prisoner at con- siderable length with great ability. The learned Chairman summed up with liis accus- tomed care and perspicuity, and the jury after a short de- liberation returned a verdict of Guilty. 8entpl\('e- 18 calendar months' imprisonment with hard labour. Attorney for prosecution, Mr. James Ilughes. Thomas Roach pleaded Guilty to the charge of break- ing into the dwelling-house of Richard Jones, of Cwm- saeson, in the parish of St. Mary's, Cardigan, on the 17th of September last, during the absence of the in- mates, and stealing therefrom 4s. 6d. in silver. Sen- tence-12 calendar months' imprisonment with hard labour. Attorney for prosecution, Mr. R. D. Jenkins. David Jones was indicted for stealing a pair of trowsers and a pair of braces, the property of Daniel Evans, of Penrhiw-Aberbedw, in the parish of Penbryn, from an out-house on the said premises, and pleaded Not Guilty. The prisoner had every appearance of being of weak intellect, but he defended himself with considerable astuteness, and succeeded in eliciting that a boy, the grandson of the prosecutor, had given him the articles, and though the boy denied it on oath yet the police constable proved that the boy had ir. answer to questions put to him by the prisoner, admitted hav- ing done so in his hearing. Verdict, Not Guilty. Attorney for prosecution Mr. Benjamin Evans. Jane, the wife of John Broom, pleaded Not Guilty to the charge of stealing one flannel petticoat, the property of Mary Davies, of Pcnrhiwffocsrhyd-galed, in the pa- rish of Lhinychaiarn, on the 7tli of September last. The proseeutiix hung up the garment to dry after washing and went on a message about a quarter nf a mile from home, and on her return it was gone. Police constable Nicholas Davies having received information the same day, went in pursuit and overtook the prisoner, and and found the petticoat in a bundle under her arm. The prisoner pleaded that she sat down on the road side to finish a cap to pay for her night's lo(1gin, with her three orphan children around her, and whilst so em- ployed a strange woman came. and offered her the petti- coat, but she declined it, saying she had nothing to give for it, but the woman replied, that she wanted nothing but her blessing, and when she again declined to take it, she put it on the ground by her side and went away, and she afterwards took it up. She called her daughter, a girl of about 14 years of age, who repeated the same story on oath, but the jury without hesitation returned a verdict of Guilty. Sentence—Six calendar months' imprisonment with hard labour. Attorney for prosecution, lr. W. Miller. APPEALS. I John Evans, appellant, and Churchwardens and Over- seers of Trejilan, j'esjJondenfs; Thi WClS an appeal against a poor-rate assessment. On the 30th of December, notice was served by the re- spondent parish that they would submit to the rate being quashed, and Mr. John Morgan now moved that the same bo quashed with costs. Mr. \V. Miller, for respondents, stated that the two nrst grounds of appeal were on technical points relating to the formality of the assessment, on which the appel- lant relied, and not on the merits, and submitted that the appellant could have obtained an adjustment of his grievance at the Special Petty Sessions, and that it was not a case for costs. late quashed, with costs to be taxed by the Clerk of the Peace.

Lloyd, of Dolhaidd, (who was prevented from attending by a severe cold), and stated that he peisona took no part in the question, but brought it on a., tie I request of Capt. Lloyd, who felt interested in the ma tr, aiic'i Nvlio, it was weil known, was an active magistiate, and always anxious for the irterests of the couuty. He calied the attention of the Bench to the 2nd section o. c?i l ie( I tli ti1c, );I(, S" the 11 and 12 Victoria, c. 101, commonly called Lord Morpeth's Act, bv which they were enabled (if they thought it expedient) to agree with the justices of the peace for the County of Carmarthen for the ercctlTlg" and maintaining a Lock-up-IIouse at Newcastle Emlyn ,t tll(, joint expense of the two counties. The first question they had to decide was whether it was expedient to agree with the justices of the peace for the county of C-aimar- then, for the erecting aiid at Newcastle Emlyn, at the joint expense of the two eouuties, awl if that was decided in tlie affirmative, then to appoint a Committee of not less than three nor more than five, to treat with any similar Committee for Car- mart 11011 S hire. Mr. G. W. Parry enquired if the Quarter Sessions had the last voice as to confirming or rejecting the agree- ment ? The learned Chairman read the 4th section of the Act, which provides that the agreement is to be submitted to the Court of Quarter Sessions, who may send it back to be reviewed by the Committee, and so toties quotics till it be finally approved of or rejected. Captain Gwynnc wished to know if they could have an estimate of the expense. Mr. John Hughes observed that the Committee would obtain onp. Dr. LcweHin remarked that they neednot hesitate to leave all details to the Committee, as the Court would not be irrevoeab'v bound by the Acts of the Committee, but would have the revision of them and the last voice in the matter. .r, In answer to a question from Mr. G. Yv". Parry, Captain Ereeman, Chief Constable, stated that there was an order atready existing for £ o0, for eroding a Lock-up at Ithyd Lewis, and that in eass of one being erected at Newcastle Emlyn, the intended one at Rhyd- Lewis would not be requisite; ;itl I o!'the twosites lie preferred Newcastle. lie estimated the joint expense atabout £ 3-50. The Chairman observed that in the event of ■ ':p pre- sent question being carried, the order for Riiv«l-LCwis ought, to be rescinded. Mr. J. Ilughes questioned whether under the Act a separate superintendent would not be required for the ?lid ll;)t 1);, for 11)(, Lock-up house, but the Bench appeared to agree with Capt. Freeman that it would be competent for the county superintendent to act. I for tile Jot,(I:lll %If; L'50 illtOT)d(?ct f,)t- R^ hyd-Lewis should be laid out at Newcastle Emh'n. Capt. Gwynne said that if an outlay of £ 50 at Ithyd- lewis would suffice he did not see why they should <jo to Newcastle. To this, it was observed by the chairman anI otiiefs, that Newcastle Emlyn was a populous place, and .1 great many fairs were held there. Capt. Gwynne adhered to his former opinion. On the motion of Capt. Lewes, seconded by Mr. G. W. Parry, the question was then put, whether it was ex- pedient tiiat the proposed agreement netwecn the iw.» counties should he entered into; when there appeared •or the caution 12, and agitÎ1h.t it, 2.

COUXTY LTOAUS UOAKL). Captain Prichard was re-appointed member of the Board. On the motion of Dr. Llewellin, Capt. Gwynne and J. B. LI. Philipps, Esq,, were also appointed members in lieu of E. LI. Williams, Esq., and Matthew Davies, Esq. DISCONTINUANCE OF m-UAL POLICE. The Clerk of the Peace explained that the Home S- cretary of State had been consulted, and that an estab- lishment of police for the upper district could not be engrafted on that already existing in the lower distriets of the county,-end that the only plan would be to give six months' notice to discontinue the present Consta- bulary force; and to give another notice of three months to establish a Constabulary Force for the whole County. In answer to a question from the Bench, the Clerk said that Sir Geo, Grey declined pointing out any course for the adoption of the magistrates. The Chairman remai ked that he understood they had the sanction of the Secretary of State for the plan pro- posed, and thought they ought to be very cautious, as the act was a complicated one, and they ought to be N-ell informed of its provisions. If the Secretary of State had given his sanction they would be perfectly safe. The Clerk of the Peace observed, that there was no doubt as to the feasibility of the plan (legally speaking) but another question arose, whether the Secretary would sanction the establishment of a police force over the whole of the county. Major Lewis suggested that they had better first as- certa ill that from the Home Secretary. Capt. Gwynne wished to know if they could not in- cieasc the police force in the upper district. The Clerk of the Peace replied, that as they could not change or add to the districts, it would be very in- convenient. Capt Freeman doubted whether he would be justified in employing men from the other districts to aid in the upper districts, and if lie did so he did not know how to obtain payment of expenses for such aid from the dis- • trict requiring it. It was then suggested that if the first notice was given and the second omitted, it might leave the whole county without a police force. Some further irregular discussion ensued, and it was ultimately arranged that the sanction of the Secretary of State should be requested to the establishment of a Constabulary Force for the whole of the County, and that afterwards the two requisite notices should be given simultaneously. OLD GAOL AT CAltDIGAN". On the suggestion of Capt. Freeman, noticc was ordered to be given for an application at the next Quarter Sessions, for a sum not exceeding E20 for converting the old gaol into a lock-up and station house. CLERK OF THE PEACE s SALARY. A letter from the Clerk of the Pence was read, repre- senting the inadequacy of his salary (£300 per annum without fees), and requesting an increase or a return to the former system of payment by fees, which still obtained in all the other counties. Ordered to be taken into consideration at the next Quarter Sessions, and notice to be given. KETIUEMENT or GOLEn. In answer to questions from Mr. Jordan and Mr. Geo. Williams Parry, the gaoler's deputy, Mr. Evans, jun., stilted that his father had no intention of resigning, his health being much improved lately. Mr. Penson, Inspector of Bridges, read his report. CHIEF CONSTABLE'S REPORT. From Capt. Freeman's report it appeared that there was an actual saving to the County of EGO for the year 1848, arising from money saved in thc conveyances of prisoners, and from monies for services of notices to Co- roners, &c. received by the Police Constables, and credi- ted to the County: The Treasurer's Accounts were then examined, and a rate of one penny farthing in the pound was ordered, which terminated the business of the sessions.

L!.A NDEWI BRErI -On Monday last, the Benefit Society in this place held their annual festival, at the Voclaflt Ai-nis. The iiittnljers proceeded in procession to the parish chureh, where the Rev. Timothy Evans, curate, read prayers, and the ltev. John Griffiths, vicar of Trevilan, preached an impressive sermon from Ro- mans 12th chap. 10th verse.

CARDIGAN POLICE COURT. -CIIAR(;F, OF ASSAULT. —On Wednesday last, Elizabeth Jones, of Cardigan, was brought before William Philipps, Esq., Mayor, and T. G. Nugent, Esq., Borough Magistrate, charged with having committed an assault on her mother, with a heavy wooden stooi. Ihe offence having been fu.lv es- taodshed, the defendant, was ordered to find sureties to keep the peace, and in default to be imprisoned.

G L A M O R G A N S III It E SWANSEA TOWN AND QUAY DIES. — A special meeting of the Swansea Town Council was held on Fri- day last, for the purpose of letting these dues for the ensuing year. Previous to the admission of the com- petitors, the Council fixed as a reserved price on the tolls, the sum of E91,5, the amount at which they were let last year. The competitors having entered the room, the bidding proceeded slowly for some time, Mr. Lewis, Alr. BLilleti, and Mr. Johnstone being the only competitor, although there were others present. The last bidding (previous to the announcement of the reserved price) fell far short of the mark, but on the sum being named, Mr. Lewis said he would take the tolls at that price, and they were accorliingly knocked dowll to him for £ 915. NIJATU PETTY SESSIONS were held on Friday last, before Ilowel Gwyn, Esq., M.P.,and Griffith Llewellyn, Esq.—Mary Evans of Cwmgraigvach, was charged by Thomas Clerk with having unlawfully rescued some cattle, her father's property, from being impounded, complainant ha k ing taken charge of them with that in- tention, as he found them trespassing on his property. The evidence having been adduced, defendant, who made a most, vituperative defence, was discharged on paying 8s. (id. costs.— Charles Burking and Thomas Hopkins were charged by Jenkin Price, of Aberpergwm, with having severely assaulted him on Saturday, the 2.3rd ultimo. Complainant, on being sworn, deposed that he was pmpbiycd'by Mr. Rees Williams to protect the fisheries at Maesgwyn. About 11 o'clock on the Il1ornin" of the above day, he saw two defendants on the grounds engaged in spearing fish. When they saw witness, Burking called out to his companion to assist !'ill, in ttiro%vi!i(,r into the pool,.iiear iihicli they were standing, and which was about four feet deep. Burking then seized witness and endeavoured to force him into the water, threatening to drown him. He, however, failed in his attempt. Hopkin came forward, and violently struck complainant on the eye. They then had a general setifip, and shortly afterwards defendant left. Burking stated in his defence that they had autho- rity to fish on that property, and that the complainant. Price, who was also fishing at the time, had not the slightest right to do so, neither was he employed by Mr. Williams to prevent parties from fishing. Hopkins ad- mitted having struck complainant, but stated that they had what they termed a fair figlit." The defen- dants were so obstreperous in their conduct, constantly interrupting complainant in his evidence, that their worships gave instructions to the police to remove them out of court, provided they did not behave more or- derly. I hey were ultimately fined 2Rs. each and costs, or 21 days' imprisonment.-Eran Richards, of Skewan, was charged by David Evans with having fraudulently removed his furniture, &c., from a house in which he resided, with the view of evading a distress for payment of a balance of rent. Fined 24s., or imprisonment for 10 da vs. 'I'llontas, was charged with having stolen a shovel, the property of A'ssan Jones. Prosecutor deposed that prisoner and himself worked together at the Bryn. On Thursday week he missed a shovel; it was marked sq that he could identify it. Some days afterwards, he saw the shovel amongst others Le- longing to siime fellow-workmen, lie then gave infor- mation to the police, who apprehended prisoner. Mr. .Randall, who appeared for Thomas, called David Eras- mus, Pcmbrey, who stated that, some time since, he lodgf-d with prisoner; and when he removed,he left behind him his shovel, giving prisoner permission to use it until called for. Witness described the shovel most minutely. It was then produced, together with two others. The one alleged to have been stolen was directly singled out by witness, and the marks en it were found to correspond with the description given by him. Mr. Randall then addressed the bench on prisoner's behalf, after which he was discharged. JIar- garet Williams was brought np on suspicion of hav- ing stolen a quantity of bedclothes, the property of Lewis Thomas. No one appearihg to prosecute,pri- soner was discharged. Samuel Davies, a carter in the employ of 2\Jpssrs. Arthur and Eustance, brewers, was charged with having, on Monday, the loth inst., unlawfully driven a waggon, drawn by four horsl's, on the turnpike road in the parish of Baglan, without reins to guide the same. Defendant was convicted in the costs. Jlees John, butcher, was lined os. for drunkenness in court. Being a constable, iiavit), sc-rveo, a summons, he appeared in court in that state for the purpose of receiving the usual fee, which the magistrates also disallowed.

Considerable difficulty was experienced in nominating a Committee as nearly every magistrate present declined its onerous duties, Mr. Lloyd Price rather indignantly, and Mr. Campbell Davys thankfully exclaiming that he had hitherto remained absolved from any participation in the aflairs of Llandilo Bridge, and he purposed to continue in the same happy condition. Eventually, the following were named a Committee:—Messrs. J. Lewis, J. L. Thomas, G. B. Jones, and the Rev. T. B. Gwyn. A rate of twopence in the pound was then ordered, one half to be devoted to the general purposes of the County, and the other half to the repayment of the debt on Llandilo Bridge. The Treasurer having suggested that it would be con- venient and advisable for Clerks to Unions to pay in their quotas a week before each Sessions, Mr. John Jones gave notice of his intention to move the adoption of such an arrangement at the next Sessions. A police rate of one halfpenny in the pound was or- dered. The Chief Constable's Report was then read, and also his summary of the police accounts, and the balance, £ 184, was ordered to be paid over to Capt. Scott. Mr. It. G. Thomas stated that he had been requested by Dr. Bowen to bring before the Court the case of John Thomas, late bridge surveyor, who in his old age was turned adrift in absolute poverty. He merely brought the subject forward to be dealt with as the Court thought fit. The Chairman said that when this subject had been brought before the Court at the last sessions, an at- tempt had been made to institute a comparison between this case and that of Mr. Burnhill, the late gaoler, who had been pensioned. It appeared that for a bridge surveyor no Act of Parliament provided a pension, but a gaoler could be pensioned for age, sickness, or infir- rnity. He had made enquiries and was told that Mr. Burnhill was not at all incapable, nor ever had been from natural infirmity, to perform the duties of his office. Such being the case, be thought the matter Ought to be fully investigated, and it would be found the Court had no more power to pension Durnhill than "><\V had to pension Thomas. No motion bring before the Court the subject, dropped. The Bridge Surveyor's report was then delivered in, and the Court adjourned until this day.

The Court then proceeded with the County business. The Clerk of the Peace read the reports of the Visit- ing Justices of both prisons. In reference to the Swansea gaol, the report set forth that the additions, improve- ments, and alterations recently made therein had been satisfactorily completed. The report likewise recom- mend the court without delay to purchase a piece of land adjoining the House of Correction, with the view of preventing the erection of cottages on the spot. The Chairman proceeded to state his reasons for con- curring in the recommendation of the Visiting Justices. With the exception of the piece of land in question, the county possessed the land surrounding the House of Correction, and unless this land were purchased, cir- cumstances might arise in which the non-possession of it might give rise to much inconvenience The price was £ L50. The recommendation was then agreed to. The Clerk of the Peace read the report of the Finance Committee, and the various bills which had been allowed were passed. The Clerk of the Peace read the report of the Police Committee, which set forth the expenditure for the past quarter, including the sum of £ 1-50 for the Aberdare station. The committee likewise recommend that Mr. Superintendent Carr, who had been disabled by a severe blow received in the execution of his duty, should be superannuated at E25 a year, and the committee re- gretted that the state of the superannuation fund would not admit of a more liberal allowance. This was agreed to. The estimated accounts required for the ensuing quarter were for Merthyr district, £ 330; New- bridge, £ 113; Ogmore, jElGG; Swansea. £ 89. The ltev. Robert Knight then brought forward his motion that the next sessions should be held at Bridgend, instead of at Cowbridge as usual. He believed that by the removal of the sessions to the former town, they would be taking a step in the right direction, although it would be a short one. He regretted that this question had been made a party, he had almost said a personal question. He disclaimed being in the slightest degree influenced by local considerations, but brought forward the proposition on public grounds only. The Chairman offered some observations to the magis- trates, and concluded by moving an amendment, to the effect that the sessions should be held as heretofore at Cow bridge, until the opening of the South W ales Railway, He thought it proper to move the proposition, for the purpose of not inducing the inhabitants of Cowbridge to incur any additional expenses under the supposition that the sessions would be continued in that town. The Rev. R. Knight offered to withdraw his proposi- tion on the grounds stated by the Chairman, but the question was eventually submitted, and the Chairman's amendment carried. The Court then proceeded with'the'trials of prisoners I
