CWMAMMAN RACES. Piirsuant to previous announcement, that a Steeple Chase and various other sports wore to take place near the Raven Inn, Cwmamman, on Friday last, a goodly number of spectators, consisting chiefly of visitors from Llandilo, attended at the place in question, but in consequence of the absence of proper arrangements, the sports were far less interesting than they otherwise might have been rendered in saying this we do not in any way attribute blame to the .stewards, George Parry, and Thomas Edwards, Esquires, who were amongst the visitors, and who at a moment's notice kindly consented to accept the office, rendering all possible assistance in the furtherance of the day's enjoy- ment. The race, consisting of a Steeple Chase, called "Cwm- amman Stakes," in heats over about one mile and a half of rough hunting ground, catch weights. There were but three entries, and the order of the race was as follows:— Mr. Williams's Little Rose F. Morgan 1 Mr. M. E dwards's Harka.way.Mr. E. Thomas 2 Mr. D. Tucker's Old Joe J. Smith 3 Little Rose had the start, followed by Harkaway, with Old Joe kicking up behind" him, but the old 'un couldn't come in," and was accordingly left behind altogether in the first heat, which was won by Little Rose, Mr. Thomas having vainly endeavoured to prevail upon Harkaway to make headway. The second heat was also won by Little Rose, Harkaway being evidently not up to his work against the pace of the mare. ] jazi excellent dinner was afterwards provided by host W. Jones, at the Raven Inn, of which a large number of gen- tlemen partook

COMMITTALS TO THE COUNTY GAOL.—On Friday last, Jonah Reynolds, for 3 months by D. Prytherch, and J. Bowen, M.D., Esqrs., for disobeying an order in bastardy.— On Tuesday, John Brown by D. Prytherch, Esq., on remand charged with stealing a pair of breeches at Bankyfelin.— Evan Jones, by the same magistrates, for trial at the assizes, for sheepstealing, near Brechfa, iu 1845. The prisoner was arrested on a Bench warrant, issued by the Court of Assize, in that year. He is brother to B. Jones, who was sentenced at that time to be executed for feloniously cutting and wounding the servant of the late Mr. Thomas, of Brechfa, whose body was found in a brook there—but which was commuted to transpouation for life.

PEMBROKE SH IRE. I THE HYDROPATHIC ESTABLISHMENT AT COLBY LODGE. —The announcement in our advertising columns that a Hy- dropathic Establishment is now open at Colby Lodge, near Tenby, affords us an opportunity for briefly alluding to the subject. This is.the first establishment of the kind opened in South Wales, and we freely confess that we were for a long period sceptics as to the beneficial results to be derived from the use of the cold-water cure, but having recently been enabled to witness the mode of treatment we have no hesi- tation in stating that there can be no doubt that much good has been derived from a judicious perseverance in this peculiar mode of treatment. The spot selected for this estab- lishment is in itself all that nature could concentrate. It is secluded and picturesque to a high degree, being delightfully sheltered from the north, east, and westerly winds, while from the south the balmy breezps of the ocean bring their reinvigorating influences to cheer and renovate the invalid. It may emphatically be denominated the Montpellier of Wales, and we much doubt whether any spot which can compete with it for salubrity or picturesque beauty is to be found in the Principality. In addition to the charm of scenery and healthfulness, the advantages of the Hydropa- thic system can be here delightfully developed, and we therefore confidently recommend the establishment to the notice of invalids. HAVERFORDWEST POLICE.—On Wednesday last, at the Shirehall, before Capt. Butler, Mayor.—Mary James, spin- ster, was brought up by the police, charged with feloniously stealing a gown, the property of one Martha Jones, of Pem- broke. Evidence of the facts were taken, and the prisoner was committed for trial at the next General Quarter Sessions for the county. WESLEYAN REFORM.—On Tuesday evening last, the Rev. Wm. Griffiths, one of the expelled members of the Wesleyan society, addressed a large and respectable audience at the shire-hall, Haverfordwest, on the abuses of Metho- dism and the necessity for a reform in the constitution of that religious body. The reverend gentleman treated the subject of his address in a very temperate and argumentative manner, and seemed to convince the majority of his hearers by the facts which he adduced in support of his positions, that the present agitation for a reform in methodism is imperatively called for. The thanks of the meeting having been voted to the magistrates for the use of the hall, the assembly separated. A cattle fair was held at Haverfordwest on Wednesday last. The supply scarcely amounted to an average one. The demand was rather brisk, and the prices realized were better than at the last fair. Cows with calves met with a ready sale sheep were in good supply, and a fair amount of business was done in them. The show of horses was very small and of an inferior description, and few sales took place. KILGETIRAN HUNDRED.—A special petty sessions was held on Saturday last at B:ide End, Saint Dogmell's, Pembrokeshire, before James Bowen, and David Davies, Esqrs., when Elizabeth Griffiths appeared to support an information against William Williams for disobedience of an order of affiliation. The defendant refused to pay, and was committed to the House of Correction at Haverfordwest for 21 days. A special petty sessions was also held on the 12th inst., before James Bowen, and David Davies, Esqrs., when an order was made for the removal of Maria Davies, widow, from the parish of Llantwood. NEWPORT.—On Friday last, two cases of Inland Revenue prosecutions came on for hearing at the Castle Inn in this town, before George Bowen, and G. D. Griffith, Esquires, on the prosecution of G. A. Evans, Esq., Collector of Inland Revenue, for smuggled nialfj, seized by Mr. Wm. Morgans, officer of the same department. Mary Nicholas, of penXte Rhostwarch, MeJine, was convicted and fined fri the miti- gated penalty of £ 50, and Thomas Davies, of Foxhill, St. Dogmells, convicted and fined in the mitigated penalty of £ 25, and were recommended to a further mitigation by the Board of Inland Revenue.

CARDIGANSHIRE. I LAMPETER.—A cattle fair was held here on Saturday last. There was a good show of cattle and horses, which realized high prices. LAM PETE a.-Duri ng the past week, William Jones, Esq., the respected banker, of this town, has been favoured by an invitation from his Grace the Duke of Wellington, to attend his ball, which is to take place this day (Friday), and to have the hononr of meeting her Grace the Duchess of Cambridge and Her Royal Highness the Princess Mary. LL,I,N ILAR. -SERIOUS GUN ACCIDENT.—We mentioned in our last impression a serious gun accident that occurred at the Falcon Inn, in the village of Llanilar, distant about six miles from Aberystwith. It seems that a neighbour came and begged the loan of a gun, (as it was asserted) to kill crows The son of the landlord of the Inn, a lad of from 17 to 18 years, proceeded to take the gun •down which was lying lengthways in a place above the mantle piece made for the purpose, and in so doing it discharged and shot his sister in the right arm above the elbow joint, several of the shots entering in the shoulder. Three other persons were in the kitchen who also received serious injury, one in particular, a servant girl who was shot about the lower part of her head, and the others slightly. The poor lad who was instrumental in causing this calamity, iode off immediately to Aberystwith where aid was procured, and everything that medical skill could devise was done. A ong. consultation took place between the medical gentle- men as (0 the propriety of amputating the young girls arm, but they unanimously decided that amputation should not take place. We are happy to say that the last ac- counts Waived of the unfortunate sufferers were that they were progressing fis favourably as could be expected. The .,Tppps ought to be in respect of event shows how carefu l ought to be in respect of keeping fire arms loaded in a hou^e, CARDIGANSHIRE.— CWMERE MINE WORKS.— A most cheering prospect is now opening for the village of Ystrad and ite vicinity, as a silver-lead ore mine is now being worked on Cwaifie, the property of Win. Jones, Esq., and is likely fc) prove 6o advantageous that it is more than probable that another will be sow commenced on Penywern, the property of J. L. Sogers, Esq., of Abcrpieung, under the able superintendence of an ejigifuje*. The vein -in both places is expected to juove "ery We ¡ heartily wish success to both the concerns. THE MARRIAGE OF THE REV. CHARLES MARRIOTT LEIR, OF CHARLTON MUSGROVE, WITH Miss F. RICHARDS, OF BKINKITIHN, NEAR ABERYSTWITH.—It is delightful to dwell u)M.'ji the Httle sunsliinings of nature, those bright spots upon the career of human existence, where the eye is unclouded by a tear, and no sigh quivers on the happy life; and how refined is that delight, when we glance at the mutual joy of two young and affectionate hearts, meeting the reward of long-cherished hopes, and aspirations crowned at length with success. The happiness of two individuals swearing to the holy nuptial compact before Ilim who holds the destinies of the world, it is indeed delightful to behold. The pictures of virtue and of truth are the most delightful that the human eye can rest upon. These remarks are made by our correspondent upon the celebration of the amiable and lovely daughter of William Eardley Richardes, Esq., of Bryneithin, near Aberystwyth, and nipce of the late esteemed Governor of Bombay, Sir James Rivett Car- nac, Bart., and the Rev. Charles Marrintt Leir, of Charlton Musgrove, a gentleman of acknowledged worth and probity, whose union with this accomplished lady promises the realization of the most perfect happiness. The ceremony WaS solemnized on Thursday morning, the 6th instant, at the romantic and picturesque church of Milford, near Lymington, Hants, in the presence of a large circle of relations and friends. At the conclusion of the ceremony the company proceeded to Rookcliff, the beautifui villa of Dowager Lady Carnac, aunt of the bride, which is situate not far from Lymington, where an elegant dejeuner was given by her Ladyship. In the afternoon the happy pair left en route for the Continent. May bright-winded mirth, with laugh, and joy and SOil" Sew fairest liowers life's radiant paths along And, oh, when bending with the weight of years, Ye journey onward through the vale of tears, May life's'delights, life's numerous cares assuage, And filial hands support the steps of age." ABERYSTWITH TOWN HALL.—On Tuesday last, before his worship the mayor, John Hughes, Esq., and David Edwards, Esq., borough magistrates.-His worship re- quested to know whether the keeper of the house of cor- rection acted strictly to the instructions received from the visiting justices as to the dietary of the prisoners he received into his custody ? The keeper, in answer, said that he did. His worship stated that one John Vdughan bad been committed for an assault, and that he was informed that the wife of the prisoner was in the habit of taking food to the house of correction. His worship hoped that it was not true, and impressed upon the keepers to be very careful not to allow anything of the kind to be done.— Margaret Williams alias Peggy C!arach, a poor miserable drunken wretch, was again brought up in custody of police constable Powell, for having been on the morning of Wed- I nesday, the 5th instant, drunk and disorderly, and con- ducting herself in a most unseemly manner, much to the annoyance of the inhabitants of the borough. The defendant, during the examination, conducted herself in a most shameful and abusive manner not only towards the police officer, but also towards their worships. She was ordered to find two sureties in C 10 each for six months to be of good behaviour, and not being of that respectable caste to procure them, she was locked up. We congratulate the peaceful inhabitants of the town thatthey will not have the annoy- ance of seeing Mrs. Peggy for a while, and we trust that the lesson she has received will be the means of working a change for the better.—Police constable Powell laid a com- plaint against Mr. D. Lloyd, of Great Dark Gate Street, vic- tualler, for allowing his house to be kept open on the morn- ing of Sunday last, the 2nd day of May inst., and permitting oue Thomas Jenkins to become drunk there, and that he allowed certain other persons on the Monday following, being of notoriously bad character, to assemble on his premises. The defendant appeared by his solicitor, Mr. C. Parry, who said that on behalf of his client he thought it a hard case that he should be summoned before any of the rest of the publicans in the town he Mr. Parry could state of his own knowledge that several houses were kept opened until later hours than that complained of by the police officer of his client, and this being his first offence, he trusted that their worships would, in this instance, reprimand the defen- dant instead of inflicting a fine. Mr. Parry also observed that he would be one of the first persons to put down these nightly houses, and: indeed he would not have appeared in this case had he not known the respectability of his client. The defendant was fined 5s. including costs, which were paid. His worship then drew the police officer's attention to what had fallen from Mr. Parry, and desired him to keep a sharp look out and not to select any particular house, but to inform upon all alike. This closed the business of the day. ABERYSTWITH TOWN-HALL, WEDNESDAY. — An ad- journed meeting of the Town Commissioners under the Local Improvement Act was held at the Town-Hall, Charles Parry, Esquire, in the chair. This being the day for letting the fish market, there appeared only one applicant for the same, the previous lessee, Mr. John Withall, but owing to his being in arrear the Commissioners did not think it advisable at present to let the market to him until all arrears should be paid, but on Mr. Withall promises to pay the half in a fortnight, and his having been a tenant for the last fifteen years, it was therefore let to him. Several applica- tions were made for the grass of the Castle Grounds, but the Commissioners present thought that as they only derived a small benefit from the sale of the grass, and parties who had hitherto contracted for the same, having cut the grass in so slovenly a manner, they were of opinion that as these grounds were laid out for a promenade for the public and visitors, the grass should be let to some respectable person who should be bound to keep it in a neat state. An order was made to the gentlemen forming the street committee, that they would erect posts and chains opposite the corn market, to protect the houses opposite from the market carts coming over the foot paths. ABERYSTWITH.—THE MINES. Owing to the gieat scarcity of rain, we fear that many of the miners at the respective lead mines in this neighbourhood will be thrown out of employment, although on Sunday last and during the night we experienced a few showers, which have already made a slight difference in the aspect of vegetation. ABERYSTWITH FISH MARKET has lately been very well supplied :withl brills,) soles,j gurrats, and other fish, and we never remember seeing such a quantity ai prawtm and shrimps as are daily caught here and at Borth7"a"fi^S°ld at moderate prices. Prawns, 2d. to 3d. per score; shrimps, 2d. to 3d. per plate. An extraordinary number of the several species of the gull tribe, together with Divers, Grebes and Sea-turns or Swallows, have for the past week been visiting our shores, within gun-shot, which is considered a sure sign that the finny tribe are plentiful. Several beautiful birds of a rare species have been shot. I ADERYSTWITII.-TI)is beautiful and truly romantic locality was the scene of great rejoicing on Thursday, the sixth inst., in honor of the marriage of Miss Richardes, only daughter of William Eardley Richardes, Esq., of Brineithio, with the Rev. C. M. Leir-to the solemnization of the holy compact we have adverted in another part of our columns. Early in the morning the sweet old Llanbadarn bells sent forth their merry and tuneful peals and the roaring of can- non, caused the inhabitants to rise in order to ascertain the meaning of the stir. The country farmers around the heights of our beautiful hills, were vieing with each other as to making the largest bonfires for this interesting event, and when darkness set in, at a given signal, the whole of the bonfires, eleven in number, were lighted, and we need scarcely inform our readers that it was a beautiful and magnificent sight. Several dinners were provided in the county. ABERYSTWITH TOWN COUNCIL.—An adjourned meeting of the Council took place at the Town Hall on Tuesday last, the mayor in the chair. Two small pieces of land were let, after which a committe, consisting of J. Hughes, Bsq., (Mayor), John Miller, Esq., John Roberts, Esq Thomas Jones, Esq., and Mr. Robert Edwards, was formed for the purpose of examining the new hall, with a view of as- certaining what money will be required in order to complete it, and to render it fit for holding assizes there. The com- mittee to make their report at the next meeting. Some conveisation ensued respecting the necessity of immediately checking the encroachments of the river Rhydol into the corporate property at Morfa Mawr, and it was determined that the committee previously appointed for this purpose should inspect the state of the same, and make a report as to the best means of protecting the property from futuie encroachments. Powell, the street keeper, was appointed inspector of lodging-houses for the borough, under the Common Lodging-houses Act, which terminated the business of the meeting. AN INQUEST was held by Charles Parry, Esq., deputy coroner, at a place called Castellcoch, near Plinnimmon mountain, on Thursday last, on the body of William Mason, a shepherd, who died suddenly on the evening of the 4th instant. The jury returned a verdict of natural death." Another inquest was also held by the same gentlemen a few days previous to the above, at Eglwys facli, on the body of an infant child who had fallen into a cauldron of boiling water, which caused its death. Verdict — "Accidental death." DEVIL'S BRIDGE.—This beautiful spot, the greatest sight in the southern Principality, has already been visited by several families. Amongst the company who have arrived we find on the visitor's book the names of Henry Hoghton, Esq., and his lady, the owner of that princely mansion, Havod, whose stay we regret to learn will not be long, as he intends leaving shortly for Leamington. TREGARON .-The lovers of the piscatory art are begin- ning to flock to this mountain retreat, and several good fish, we are informed, have been caught in the neighbouring pools, of which there are a great number. LLANrII-IANGEL-AR-AItTll--On Thursday, th.e 6th inst., the rate-payers of the parish of Llanfihangel-ar-arth, in this county, met at the parish church, for the purpose of electing a Parish Clerk there were two aspirants for the office- Mr. John Harries, of Riiywlwyd, a freeholder, and Mr. Evan James. Both candidates having been duly proposed and seconded, the show of hands was in favour of Mr James, whereupon a poll was demanded. The supporters of the respective candidates being sanguine of success, set to work in right earnest, and great was the zeal and exertion dis- played. The polling lasted three consecutive days. Saint Albans might be said to to fairly entitled to claim a repeal of their disfranchisement act, if the bribery said to be practised at this important election is to be tolerated, particularly when it is borne in mind that the emolument of the office amounts to no less a sum than £2 per annum Mr. James was elected by a majority of twenty-five, and great was the exultation of his friends, and equally if not greater was the mortification of the friends of his opponent. It is due to the Reverend and worthy Vicar of the parish who presided, and to P.C. Jeremy to say, that through their exertion, no breach of the peace ensued. ABERAYRON PETTY SasaiONS.-On Wednesday last, before Capt. Saunders, Tymawr, Capt. Gwynne, Monachty, J. n. Lloyd Philipps, Esq., and John Boultbee, Esq.—Daniel Jones, of Maesyreglwys, was fined Jas., including costs for riding upon a cart without any person to guide the same. Paid. Thomas Evans, of Lluest, was fined los., including costs, or 14 days imprisonment, with hard labour, for the same offence. Committed. Elizabeth Edwards, of Tyny- cwm, was fined 5s. including costs, for leaving her cart on the highway to the obstruction thereof. Paid. William Jones, of Tynywern, was fined £ 1, including costs, or 14 days' imprisonment with hard Jabpur for riding upoji a cart on the turnpike road without any reins to guide the same. Committed. John Evans, of Llanrhystid, was charged with using hot lime in the river Wirran for the purpose of de- stroying fish. Adjourned, David Evans, farm servant at Gafriw-ucha, for absenting himself from service, had 1:2 9s. uf his wages forfeited. LoWER TROEDYRAUR PETTY SESSIONS.—A special petty sessions for the lower division of this hundred, was held on Thursday last, at Cardigan, before John Griffith and David j Davjes, ^Sstjrs for the trangactipii of aJjcumpcJ hUsiPess> when an order for the removal of Hannah Thomas, widow, and her two children, from the parish of Yerwick, was made. On Wednesday, the 12th iust., a special meeting of magis- trates was held, at which Johr. Oriffithi; and'Pavid Davies, Etqrs., attended for the purpose of receiving certificates and other necessary documents, in order to apply to the Secre- tary of State for the home department, respecting three convicted prisoners at present under sentence in Cardigan iswl, > I -V..UJ| ABERYSTWITH AND SHREWSBURY RAILWAY.—We are informed on unquestionable authority, that this scheme which shared the fate of many other similar ones during the panic in lSlo, is to be revived under promising appear- ances of success. PROVIDENTIAL ESCAPE FROM DROWNING.—On Tuesday afternoon last, several children, a her leaving school, went down to the river by the quay near to Cardigan bridge, and as they were amusing themselves, a fine little boy Robert, the youngest son of Thomas Davies, Esq., sulicitnr, Car- digan, accidentally slipped off the quay into the river, and as the ebb tide was running strong at the time, there was great difficulty in rescuing him, but most fortunately by the assistance of some sailors, he was saved from a watery grave. SHORT WEIGHTS IN CARDIGAN.— On .Wednesday last, six tradesmen residing in Cardigan, were summoned before the mayor, Thomas Edvvards, Esq., and R. D. Jenkins, Esq., for having illegal weights and scales in their posses- sion. The defendants, in each case, admitted the offence, and there is good reason to believe that the weights were deficient without their knowledge, and that no fraud was intended. Each defendant was fined Is. and 6s. 6d. costs. The informations were laid by P.S. Robert Harrison, in each case. MACHYNLLETH.—Thanks are due to Lord Seaham for his indefatigable services in preserving that beautiful stream the Dovey from being poached. Several night netting marauders have been caught, and dealt with according to their desetts. Lord Seaham is determined to put down poaching, but a free leave will be given to the fair angler whenever required on a request being made at the proper quarter.

I BRECONSHIRE. 'IU,, BRECON.—In another column will be found the address of Col. Watkins to his constituents seeking a renewal of their support. The manly straight-forward tone, must be admitted even by his olitic,] opponents,, whilst his friends will doubtless be justly proud of their parliamentary repre- sentative. The gallant colonel has been daily amongst his constituents during the past week, and is in high spirits, confident of the unaltered attachment of his supporters. BRECON.—On Thursday, the 6th instant, John Jones, the landlord of the Cross Keys, at Penkelly, near Brecon, was brought up to the county magistrates' office, before John Lloyd, Esq., under a warrant' charging him with abusing and ill-treating his wife Margaret Jones. His un- fortunate spouse deposed that her iil-fated partner had recently entertained fits of jealousy towards htr, and declared that the child with which she waq then enceinte was not his. He had beaten her several timej, and threatened to kill her, so that she was obliged tq leave the house and take shelter with a neighbour. TIMI me having been proved, the magistrates ordered the defendant to find two sureties for hisjgood behaviour till the next quarter sessions, which not being forthcoming, he was committed.—David Lewis, of Devynnock, was brought up, in custody of Super- intendent Prothero, charged with breaking several panes of glass in the windows of John Jones, a poor old man residing at Scnny Bridge. The complainant proved that the prisoner came there on the previous morning drunk, and commenced demolishing his windows, and upon his attempting to stop him he (the prisoner) struck him and his wife. The police officer was sent for, and he was taken into cus- tody. Fined El 12s. Gd. including expenses, and in default committed to the House of Correction with hard labour for a month.—On Saturday, May 8th, before C. Miers, Esq., the Rev. T. J. Powell, of Cantref, appeared to prosecute one Thomas Davies, of Brecon, whom he had caught in the act of stealing wood on the 1st instant. The summons not having been served on the defendant, who it appeared had absconded to avoid the proceeding, the case was adjourned till a future day. BRECOX PETTY SESSIONS.—Tuesday last, before Colonel Pearce, and the Rev. Thos. J. Powell. Howell Williams was charged with assaulting Morgan Jones, Mr. Hill's rabbit warren keeper. From the evidence adduced it appeared that on the night of the 18th of August Ijtst, Howell Williams and another went in search of game to Mr. Hill's rabbit warren. Williams stood on the top of the waU, whilst the other man went to draw what they termed barrow," which is laid for the purpose of taking the rabbits. Whilst in the act, the two keepers came upon them, and a violent struggle ensued, in which Howell Williams took a gun from one of the keepers and pointed the muzzle towards Morgan Jones, and drew the trigger. The cap exploded, but the charge hung fire. Williams afterwards with the gun severely beat Jones until the stock broke. He then made use of the barrel, whilst his accomplice was also using an iron bar. So severe was the treatment the keepers received, that at last they became exhausted, having received so many blows on their arms, they were quite disabled and ran away. The assailants got off with their booty and absconded, but the wife of Williams becoming chargeable to the parish of Pen- derin, the parish officers of that place sent in search of him, and he was apprehended and committed to Swansea Gaol for two months, in the mean time Morgan Jones, one of the kcepers identified him and when released he was taken in charge for this offence, and was fully committed to the assizes to take his trial for the offence. THE YNISKEDWYN IRON COMPANY.—In our impression of the 30th ultimo, we stated in our report of the Defynnock Petty Sessions, that The Proprietors of the Company's shop at the Yniskedwyn Iron Works" were fined for using light weights and deficient scales. We regret that it was thus made to appear as if the Yniscedwyn Iron Company had been fined for this dereliction of the law, whereas in fact, John Bowen, the occupier of the shop in question, which is vulgarly termed the Company's shop," (which doubtless was the cause of our Correspondent's error) was the party upon whom the penalty was inflicted. We hope this explanation will have the effect of removing- any im- putation that the Yniscedwyn It-oit Comptny wefe 1 manner implicated in the transaction. ■

GLAMORGANSHIRE, j APPALLING COLLIERY EXPLOSIONS AT I MERTHYR. Tttg att-absorbfeg topi«M>f cWTc>wir«H «t -Mcrthyr, is the dreadfuTexplosion o? T36f" SfF Which took plSee between- 8 and 9 o'clock, on Monday morning, at the middle Dyffryn coal pit, Cwmbach, Aberdare, worked by Thomas Powell, Esq., of the Gaer, near Newport. It appears that about 120 persons went down into the pit on that morning, but before they had been long at work, the sound of the explosion extended far and near, and it was feared that all below were killed. As soon as it was prac- ticable means were taken to search for the bodies. By 5 o'clock in the evening, 63 were taken up dead, and by 12 o'clock on Tuesday 4 more had died, making altogether the large number of 67 human lives sacrificed during almost the same hour, mostly from suffocation, as there were new marks of their having been burned. Indeed three that were partially .burnt were alive on Tuesday, when our correspon- dent's communication left Merthyr. Eight horses were also taken up dead on Monday. Whether blame was attached to any one is yet enveloped in mystery, and will be so until the inquest is held, the jury for which was summoned on Tuesday. The Government Inspector, Mr. Mackworth, and the Coroner for the District, Mr. Overton, visited the pit on Monday evening. It is quite impossible to give sny idea of the feelings of the relations of the deceased, as the greatest number of them, as far as can be ascertained, have left wives and children to lament their premature deaths. An explosion that took place a few years ago, near the same spot, is fresh in the recollection of our readers, when about 30 lives were lost, and 8 or 10 died at a later period. As the frightful catastrophe will be fully and impartially investi- gated before the proper authorities, we abstain from all conjectures and comments, and shall in our next report give the substance of the evidence produced at the inquest. Another most dreadful explosion took place at 7 o'clock on the morning of the same day, at Gethin coal pit, about a mile and a half below this town, and what is remarkable it is nearly opposite the Cwmbach colliery, with the hill between them. This pit belongs to Wm. Crawshay, Esq., and, fortunately, only two men had gone down, who escaped unhurt, except one of them, who was slightly burnt, but the whole of the machinery was blown to atoms, and a large blaze was seen issuing from the pit enough to terrify the whole neighbourhood. From what we could collect the ig- nition commenced at the meuth of the pit, near, or at the lodge, and returned with terrific force down the shaft, which accounts for the escape of the two men who were at the bottom. The bodies of four of the unfortnnate men were brought down by the three o'clock train to Neath, on Tuesday after- noon. A vast assemblage met at the station and accom- panied the remains to their last resting place. Two of the men belonged to Ne.ath, and were buried at the Zoar Independent Chapel, the other two were natives of Pont- rhydyfen, and were takeu to that place for interment. The shipping wharfs at Swansea in connexion with the South Wales Railway may be expected shortly to be com- pleted, as we undestand a vessel has arrived with the patent stages and machinery necessary for their construction. Mr. Geo. Grant Francis, of Swansea, has had a writ of quo warranto made absolute against him as a Councillor of that Borough, because he had a contract under the Corpora- tion to bind and repair some muniments. OPENING OF CADOXTON SCHOOLS.—On Thursday, the 6th instant, this long-desired event took place at Cadox- tan-juxta-Neath, when tea and cake was given by subscrip- tion to about 2,000 children. It being open for all the poor children of the parish, and provided for by the sale of tickets at Is. each, of whiph-' it^js said the lady of the worthy and respected vicar alone disposed of nearly 2,000 The school- rooms were deoorated in a very tasteful manner, and a great number of ornamental arches with laurels, chintz, and flowers, were erected across the roa d in different places. A great number of the gentry and respectable inhabitants of Neath and the neighbourhood honoured the festive scene with their presence. For the visitors, cake and wine was provided in profusion. Some idea of the extensive prepa- rations may be imagined when it is stated that a waggon- load of cake of a ton weight was provided for the ocea- sion. After tea the committee and a great number of respectable persons and the children, walked in procession, preceded by a band of music to the station-house, and thence by a special train of twenty carriages to the opening of the new church at Aberdare, from which place they returned a little after 10 o'clock on the same night. The whole of the proceedings had a most imposing appearance. The shops with scarcely an exception were closed at Neath, and we are happy to learn that no accident happened. Too much praise can scarcely be given to the excellent vicar, the Rev. D. H. Griffiths and his lady, for their noble exertions in their laudable efforts to promote education amongst the poor. MERTHYR TYDFIL COUNTY COURT. This Court was was held on Saturday and Monday last, befure Thomas Fal- coner, Esq., Judge. About 220 plaints had been entered. The following were the most important disposed of:— Jones v. Forrest—-Plaintiff is a contractor and agreed to lay the Gethin Railway for Mr. Crawshay, whose agent defendant was. He now claimed Ell Is. 5d. for work done. Witnesses were called op behalf of defendant, who proved that |he work was improperly done, and that other parties were obliged to be employod to do it over again, owing to plaintiff's ignorance and neglect.

I To the Constituent Body of the County Of I GENTLEMEN, BROTHER FRUNHOLDERS, & ELECTORS, ANY of you have read and nearly all no doubt have heard of the address to us by way of Farewell that has recently emanated from our late highly esteemed Repre- sentative, now Lord Dynevor, and although as was observed by his Lordship, the course thus taken has been a departure from usage, yet I feel some degree of confidence you will agree with me that it is not on that account either the less acceptable, or the less flattering to our body; and I trust for the forbearance of those (small though I hope will be the number) who may be disposed to censure the unusual step I am also taking in putting myself forward to animate you to respond in feeling and in action to this warm and consti- tutional Farewell Appeal of my Lord Dynevor, breathing forth as it does a warmth of sentiment arising from recol- lections of the past, and evincing a depth of interest in your welfare for the future, benevolently and constitutionally set forth in the assurance that notwithstanding a link has unhappily been removed, your interests shall not remain unheeded by him in that branch of the Legislature in which he now occupies a place. Within the limits of the space allotted to me, where this will appear for your perusal, it would be barely possible for me to give a succinct sketch even, such as I would wish, of the many exemplary and high qualities of your late Re- presentative, and they are, I am sure, so indelibly impressed upon the minds of all of you, who had the good fortune to make his acquaintance, that I need hardly here remind you of hit unbounded charities, assiduous zeal in the discharge I of his varied public duties ia /BWnexiou with your county over a protracted period, and inherent solicitude for the well-being of the Principality generally, and for whatever conduces to its prosperity and to alleviate its wants. Believing then that the opportunity only is wantiug to you to declare as by common conaent your appreciation of his past services, and that also in some suitable and tangible leta, and finding likewisa to whomsoever I have mentioned the subject one sentiment to pervade all, though with diffi- dence as regards my own powers of appeal, I come before you, yet the cause itself being sa worthy, I feel every confi- dence that a generous and almost universal response will be made to it; let me therefore exhort you to take some speedy means of testifying the high sea" you entertain of the many estimable and emiaent qualifications of your late mem- ber, and of responding to his affectionate address; and in the fall assurance that an early opportunity will be embraced for that purpose, I now conclude, not however without expressing the hope that I may be fully acquitted of being an intruder upon your notice, And beg to subscribe myself, Yours faithfully, „ Maesd.eu.. o, Moy lith, 1852. JOHN MANSEL. I

I TO THE FRE E HOLDE RS AND OTHER INDEPENDENT ELECTORS OF THE OOUKTY OF CARMARTHEN. G ENTL'EXEN,-HjLvivg ultimately decided to abstain I from prosecuting my political enterprise amongst you to the last issue, I precluded myself from that further oppor- tunity of addrcuiug you from the Hustings, which I con- templated when I first announced myself as a Candidate for your suffrages. Desirous, however, of making some additional exposition of my political sentiments, I avail myself of this atediam for that purpose; the more promptly became I find that the principles indicated in my first paMished address have, to some extent, | been misconstrued. I repudiate the personal political appellation of "Whig," Tory," or ".Radical," but unreservedly arow that all my political inclina- tions and purposes attach to the cause of extensive Reform and progress. I condemn qualified and partial measures as mere political empiricism, and would deal with every admitted political evil with uncompromised determi- nation. The portions of my first address, referring to special topics, should be freely construed in favour of the most liberal legislation, and, probably, my further political con- fession will fully justify this suggestion. Briefly, then, in reference to some exciting topics omitted heretofore, I have to avow that I am a staunch advocate ia favour of vote by ballot, in order to protect the dependant ateetor in the honest exercise of his political privilege, xad annihilate as far as may be possible, the despotism now exercised by landowners and others of superior position and influence, who in counties more particularly — virtually vest in themselves the aggregate suffrages of their immediate dependents, and pitiably coerce ad degrade these aub- servients in fadoraing ad ratifying their unmanly dicta. I am favourable to a large extension of poli- tical suffrage, which shall include all citizens whose domestic position and responsibilities ia professional educa- tion and status, shall justify their enjoyment of this special political trust; at the same time I would insure power to punish delinquent constituencies when their crime shall be clearly proved. I would support a measure for the abbre- viation of* Parliaments, although I think that very short Parliaments are in some respects reasonably objectionable. I would aid in making Parliament accessible to men of talent and worth who might lack real estate and I am, in short, inclined to support every political movement designed to liberalise our institutions, but would carefully avoid that which would diminish the dignity of the nation in the ab- stract, or degrade it in the estimation of neighbouring countries. With this further epitome of my political sen- timents, Gentlemen, I bid yoa respectfully farewell. I do hope that the purpose of my sudden and unexpected appearance amongst you is now generally understood, and that I have not done anything in the course of this enter- prise to justify resentment or reproach. I can only with that the future may ratify our mutual fiiendly sentiment, and that I may visit your beautiful county often hereafter and enjoy largely the farther reciprocation of friendly coartesy. I remain, Gentlemen, Your very obedient servant, The Hermitage, North End, JOHN LEA. I 1 Fulham, Middlesex, May 14th, 1852. Fulham, Middlesex, May 14th, 1852.

TO THE INDEPENDENT ELECTORS OF THE Borough of Brecknock and Town of Llywell G ENTLEMEN,-IT was far from my intention to issue an Address, or disturb the tranquillity of the Town, before the announcement of a Dissolution of Parliament, had not circumstances rendered such a course necessary," Such, however, being the case, I for the Third time offer myself as a Candidate for the Representation of the Borough, at the ensuing Election. Since the year 1832-when first I had the honor of being returned as your member, unfettered by a single pledge, you have had ample opportunity of judging my political career. Precisely the same principles, bued on Liberality, which I then professed, remain unaltered in me, whatever others may entertain for the purpose of serving their private views, or clinging to the charms of office! From long experience and conviction I have no hesitation in declaring myself an uncompromising advocate of FBEE TIL.IDLI,indignant at the thought of the Poor Man's Loaf being taxed, while his wealthier, and more favored neigh- bour, indulges in luxury and superfluity GENTLMCEN,—I am of opinion that greater Reform in Parliament is desirable-eqwai&Uy in the County Franchise, where a reduction of the Qualification from £50 to E20 may with safety be introduced. Neither should any Candidate be Elected who was not prepared to support the strictes t National Economy. I ever have been, aftd shall continue, a Friend to Civil and Religious Liberty, anxious to reform all abuses, whether in Church or State! GENTLBMEN,—Though many important improvements in our Constitutional Laws may still be effected, you must be vigilant in preserving that Freedom already secured to you by the glorious Reform Bill, which, if duly protected, will save you from sinking into Thraldom, Servility, and Depen- dance!! You possess the same vigour of mind—the same resolute energy of purpose—you did in 1832 and must reflect, that a gradual and irresistible Reform is, day by day progressing heedless of the wily stratagems of its opponents, which mitstl and will develope itself to the strengthening of our Con- stitution. Now is the time for securing this great boon, provided for us by a Law framed for British safety. Take advantage o it; and, on the Day of Election, rally round the Standard Of Freedom Prove proudly to the Nation at large that the Independence of the old Town of Brecknock can be achieved: rrespective of intimidation or money Such, Gentlemen, is a brief outline of my political opinions. Upon no occasion haVe I neglected the trust eommitted to my charge, or been unmindful of your iatemm, and in a day or two, when I purpose calling upon yoa, I hope to be receiv- ed with the same cordial welcome I have &o often experien- ced at your hands. With gratitude for all your kindness, believe me, Gentle. men, with sincerity, To remaiu your faithful and true Friend, I LLOYD YAUGHAN WATKINS. Ponnoyre, 8th May, 1852.

TO THE INDEPENDENT ELECTORS OF THE CARDIGANSHIRE BOROUGHS. G EN.'TLEMEN,-I beg to return you my best thanks for the very kind and flattering promises of support at the approaching Election for your Boroughs, which have been made to me during my canvass, and since then to my Friends, who have so kindly exerted themselves on my behalf. I regret much that I have not yet been able to pay my personal respects to you all, but intend doing so before the Election occurs. Should I be placed in the proud position of being your Representative in the next Parliament (of which I feel most confident) no exertion shall be wanting on my part to pro- mote your general and local interests. I remain, Gentlemen, Your very obedient servant, London, April 30th ]8.') J. INGLIS JONES. London, April 30th, 1852.

tion from the Corparation when they recollected the high price she gave for the property. The required permission was then granted. The surveyor reported that he had received severa l appli- cations from Messrs. Davies, Guildhall Square, to value the dilapidations in the old Station Honse in Closemawr, which Was in their occupation, but he could get no documents to justify his doing so. Mr. Brigstocke raked if the Town Clerk knew whether there was any lease of the premises The Town Clerk :—" No, I do not." Mr. T. C. Morris suggested that Mr. Davies should be sent for, and that Mr. Spurrell should be requested to attend and produce his lease. Considerable amusement was created shortly afterwards by the Mace-bearer, somewhat abruptly entering the room, and saying, Mr. Spurrell can't come," many of the Coun- cillors being of opinion that the old ada^e respecting the non-somnambulism of "weazels" was again in this instance verified. Mr. Davies, however, attended, and said that the building required a new roof, and he wished to convert the lower part into a stable. The roof was completely decayed by age. Dr. Bowen said that if that was the case, he did not think the Corporation was liable to repair it. Mr. Parry observed that that was quite correct as between them and the superior landlord, but not as between them and the tenant, who might reasonably refuse to pay rent unless the house was in proper repair. Mr. Davies said that if a new roof was not shortly put on, the whole building would soon fall in. He had been unable to use it for the last three months in consequence of its dilapidated state. After some further discussion, the question was ordered to stand over in order that the Town Clerk might see Mr. Spurred, and asceitain if there was a lease, and what the terms were. The surveyor reported that he could erect an eligible building in which to keep the fire-engine, adjoining the station-house at a cost of E7. 10s. In answer to Dr. Bowen, Mr. Kentish said that the pipes of the engine were in good order, but the engine itself was not powerful enough, and a new one was required. This occasioned a desultory conversation, in the course of which it was elicited that the water-supply was not enough for the present engines, and that therefore it would be useless to obtain a more powerful engine before a greater supply of water was procured. It also transpired that the military anthorities had placed the Barrack engine at the disposal of the town. This engine it was stated, is im- mensely powerful, and required twenty men to work it. Finding that the question of obtaining a new engine was impracticable, Mr. T. C. Morris proposed that the contem- plated engine house be erected at a cost of £7 10s. This was seconded by Alderman E. H. Stacey, and carried unani- mously. The surveyor stated that he had made enquiries respecting the alleged encroachments on the river at the Pothouse Quay, and was informed that the frontage of the houses extended to the river. Dr. Bowen said that when he was Mayor, he particularly remembered being asked to perambulate the Pothouse as Corporation property. Alderman Stacey observed that Mr. Gulstone had on one occasion erected a railing on the Pothouse, and the late Mr. John Jones superintended its demolition as an encroachment on the Corporation rights. Mr. Brigstocke thought it was full time to consider the whole question with respect to the river. Some years since accummulations of rubbish had been thrown in by the Gas Company, who had then built a wall and constructed a Quay. At that time, however, there was a curve from the Gas Qnay to Mr. John Lewis's Quay, which latter had been built by Mr. Philipps and formed a very serious encroachment on the river. The graving bank, which then joined that Quay, now extended half across the river and occasioned a large accumulation of mud alongside the town Quay, which the Corporation were obliged to remove at an annual expendi- ture of JE13 or E14. Hundreds of loads of rubbish had lately been thrown over the Pothouse Quay, which had in several places been increased 40 feet in width. He would move therefore that the Town Clerk be directed to enquire into the title to the Pothouse generally, and that the surveyor summon the parties depositing the rubbish in the river, so as to ensure their conviction by a summary process. The right to the Pothouse was a question for an attorney and not for a surveyor. Mr. T. C. Morris said it was Mr. Collard's duty to have prevented the obstructions complained of, and how had it happened that he allowed them to take place. Mr. Collard replied that the people asserted it to be their own ground. The Mayor Why they are taking the river, which surely cannot be their own ground." Mr. Parry thought the Quay built by Mr. Philipps on the Pothouse was an improvement. Mr. Brigstocke asserted that no person had ever purchased the Pothouse from the Corporation, and the lime-kilns thereon had been mentioned in the Corporation rent-roll for years. After some further remarks, the motion was then put and carried nem. con. The painting and numbering of the street lamps was ordered in accordance with the surveyor's suggestion. A brief conversation arose as to the repairs of the road from the Monument Lodge to the Monument, and ultimately Mr, G. Davies promised to bring the subject before the notice of the District Roads Board, with a view to some definite management between that Board and the Council. The Mayor said that he wished to bring before the Coun- cil the state of the Cattle Market, which it had been intended should be enlarged upon the removal of the Infirmary to the Barracks. It was at present manifestly unjust to charge farmers toll, when there cattle were compelled to be left in the streets for want of room in the market. When the South Wales Railway was opened they mightfttofrly look forward to a great improvement in their Market and lie pro- posed therefore that a Committee be appointed to enquire into the practicability of obtaining an eligible spot for the purpose of a Cattle Market, With regard to their means, as there would be a considerable sarplus from the sale of the Corporation lands after the payment of the mortgage, he should suggest that it be appropriated for this purpose. He was afraid they could entertain no hope of having the hew Barracks erected soon, and they would not he was sure wish to turn out the subscribers to the Infirmary from their posseseien of the present building. He therefore wished that the Committee should look out for some other site, and and .report at a future meeting. Mr. Parry thought there could not be any objection to the jwoposal, as the present Market was manifestly inade- quate. Mr. Geo. Davies remarked that the present site might be sold very advantageously. The motion was then agreed to. The Mayoe read Mr. Rammell's report respecting his visit to Carmarthen which stated that all the differences had been adjusted between the Council and Mr. Diodie, whose plans were to be returned to him in order to undergo certain modifications. A letter from the General Board was also lead, which intimated that the expence of the Superintending Inspector's visit to Carmarthen amounted to i;85 16s. 9d., which the Local Board could either pay at once or by five instalments of LIO 16s. tid. After a few observations from several Councillors, it was agreed that the payment should be distributed over five years, the first payment to be made forthwith. A memorial from Mr. Jas. Jenkins, of the Ship and Cas- tle Inn, Quay Street, praying that nine yards of flagging, with curbstones and gutters should be laid down in front of liis house, was ordered to be acceded to, Mr. Collard observing that the expense would be about ;E3 5s. The Corporation seal was formally ordered to be affixed to the conveyances of the Corporation property recently sold. In answer to a question from Mr. G. Davies, the Town Cierk said that the South Wales Railway paid interest upon their purchase money from the date of the contract. Mr: Sup"tintendei)t Kentish was, upon the application of the Town Clerk appointed under the Highway Act to seize and impound any ,l,°r»es> pigs, and sheep that might be wandering in the streets. The Mayor read another letter from the General Board, enclosing the opinion of Sir J. Jfrvis and Sir J. Romilly, lately Attorney and Solicitor General, to the effect that under the provisions of the Public Health Act, the General District Rate covers the Highway Rate, so that no seperate rate was necessary. The opinion of Sir A. Cockburn and Sir W. P. Wood, their successors in office, was also enclosed, and proved diametrically opposite. The Mayor said that according to the last decifsion, a se- parate rate must be levied for repairing the parish roads mid the farmers must pay the whole and not one fourth; as at present. The Town Clerk said that such would be the case, but no late was required at present. The meeting then separated. FLRE.-A firebroke out on Sunday afternoon in a low Irish lodging-house in Kidwelly-fach, which bade fair to effect the demolition of the entire row of buildings. Mr. Collard, the Borough Surveyor, was promptly in attendance, and by his exertion mainly, the conflagration was confined to the house in which it originated, and was subdued before any necessity arose for sending for the engin.e The damage is comparatively trifling. 0 LLANDOVERY.—On Monday last, David Davies who had been in custody since the previous evening, was brought up before D. R. Rees, Esq., mayor, and Edward Jones, Esq., for drunkenness. The case being duly proved, he was convicted and fined 5s. and costs. At the same time John Lewis, of the Six Bells, and David James, of the Falcon appeared to summonses against them for selling beer, and trading on the Sunday, the evidence against John Lewis of his having served beer to the said David Davies at his house until he became quite drunk, being found correct, John Lewis was mulct in the penalty of 20s. and costs. It was proved that David James had transgressed the law in two instances by selling beer on the Sunday to the foremen- tioned David Davies for which he was fined 10s. and costs, and also of selling tobacco at the same time to the same person, for which latter offence he was fined 2s. 6d. and costs. The Mayor, in delivering the judgment of the Court, expressed his deepest regret at the profanation of the sab bath, and particularly by religious professors, who ought to show a better example than their conduct exhibited by the evidence produced this day, and addressing himself more particularly to John Lewis, the Mayor said that he '\Vas eurprised that he, who appeared so zealous for religion, should so far forget himself as to encourage tippling in his house on Sundays it was in consequence of such baneful practices that yøung men were tempted to break the Sabbath, t¡fl4 often to commit heinous crimes, and he hoped that the et, ion he had just given would act as a warning to prevent future ecurrence. NEWCASTLE —The death of Jas. Parry, Esq., Solicitor, has cau^ an unusual sensation at Newcastle Emlyn, as he was a ? days before it occurred, forward- ing, directing, and managing "ilh his well known skill and ?! ability, the lJohtlcaliuterests of  Esq., M?, ability, the political interests of Prv^«.Loveden, Esq., Ml.pJ- •> and such was the marked esteem bthat freos o;l Loveden felt for the deceased, that on?e day ? hlS fu"e' they desired to be allowed to carry the corpse to the b aY e which request was granted. Few persons in Wales were equa, to the deceased in classical lore, and his knowledge of general literature was varied and exhauslless. When a boy at Ystrad- rneurig school, then conducted by the Rev. J. Williams, the father of the present Archdeacon of Cardigan, he was thus publicly complimented by that celebrated man—" I have been nearly forty years head master of this school, and during all that time I was never so perfectly satisfied with any pupil 3' I aAi with James Parry, of Penuwch." When afterwards at St. Bees College, he was not only placed after examination as the first man of his year, but a distinctive line was drawn to show that he had no second there. During his life he contributed articles of great interest to several periodicals under an assumed signature, and has left behiud him manuscripts worthy of an accomplished scholar. It is intended shortly to publish his produc- tions. Never was a better son, a kinder brother, nor a more sincere friend than the lamented gentleman of whom these hurried remarks are made.—Communicated.
