BRECOXSHIUE.—SURGICAL OPERATION'.—On Thursday last John Jones, a respectable farmer, of Maeswelter, Senny,, 60 years of age, who had suffered intensely for many years from stone, was operated upon by James Williams, Esq., of this town, whilst under the influence of chloroform, as- sisted by J. White, Esq., surgeon, Merthyr. John North, Esq., surgeon, and their respective pupils. The operation was performed in the most satisfactory manner by Mr. Williams, without the patient feeling the slightest consciousness of what was taking place. The patient is doing well, and on the night after the operation was peformed he had the first rest tor many years past. ACCIDENT BY FIIIE—BRECOX. On Tuesday last a boy about five years of age, son of Morgan Davies, of the Black Boy, in this town, who had been left in a neighbours' house, whilst his mother had gone out a few miles into the country in company with other children carried in some straw from the street, and in putting it on the fire his clothes caught the flames, and before any person came to the little fellow's assistance he.was most fearfully burnt, and is now lying in a very precarious state, little hopes being enter- tained by the medical gentlemen who attend him of his re- covery. BRECKNOCK. BOARD OR GUARDIANS.—On Saturday last a meeting of this Board was held at the Town Hall, of which the Reverend William Bowcott, was Chairman. There was a numerous attendance of Guardians, in conse- quence of notice having been given at a previous meeting that a memorial would be presented by the respective relieving officers of the District for an advance of salary. Such a memo- rial was presented to the Board, and after some discussion a decision was come to, when there appeared for an advance of salary 13 against 18, the memorial was consequently rejected. BRECON" PETTY SESSIONS.—Monday, before M. Jones, Esq., mayor, and W. Mayberry, Esq., D. lfc, izsell was charged with bavins destroyed a salmon during the fence months. Defen- dant did not appear. Mr. Gabriel Powell stated that whilst walking by the side of the river near Dinas on the 2nd inst., he saw a man take a salmon out of the water; there were four or fi ve men there, but ho could not say who they were. lie after- wards went to Dinas, and told Mr. J. L'oyd, jun., who went down to the river. Mr. Lloyd stated that in consequence of what Mr. Powell told him, lie went down to the river side and saw four or five men, and also a spear upon the bank opposite. He immediately went across, and lost sight of the spear, but saw defendant and asked him where the spear was, who said he did not know. The other men had all gone away. He afterwards observed the handle of the spear in the water, and went to take it out, but defendant desired him not to touch it as it was his spear; he took it out and defendant went away. He afterwards found a bag and a salmon in it, hid in some loose stuff near a rick in the field, he left it there, and soon after it was dark he heard a man coming along the field to- wards the rick where the bag was hid, and take it up. He then went to him and saw it was defendant, who put the bag down under his feet and stood upon it, and would not get off it when desired, but told him he had better not touch it. De- fendant was fined X.5 or two months imprisonment. NUPTIAL REJOICINGS.—Nantgwillt and Rhayader, in the county of Radnor, were the scene of great excitement, and rejoicings on the 9th inst., in consequence of the marriage of the Rev. Rhys Jones Lloyd, rector of Trocdyrawr, third son of the late Thomas Lloyd, Esq., of Bronwydd, Cardiganshire, with Miss Lewis Lloyd, eldest daughter of Thomas Lewis Lloyd, Esq., Nantgwillt, Radnorshire. The marriage cere- mony was performed by the Rev. Wm. Evans, B.C.L., vicar of Cwmtovddar, at Nantgwillt chapel, and was the first celebrated there since it was licensed by the Lord Bishop of St. Davids. The bridal morn was inauspicious, being cold and frosty, but there was sunshine in the heart which re- sisted all external influences, and every one seemed happy. The bride was attired in a superb lace dress over white satin, with a veil of the same material, encircled in a wreath of orange blossoms. She looked interesting, and was through- out self-possessed, and left the scene of herj childhood and riper years to the deep regret of all who knew her. She was ever ready to administer to the wants and comforts of the poor in person, and will doubtless in her new sphere of action prove a blessing to the parishioners of her husband. The bridesmaids were the three sisters of the bride Miss Vaughan, Llangoedmore, and Miss Thomas, Llwynujadoe, were dressed in Chantilly lace dresses and veils, and foraged a lovely group. The bridal party were conveyed to and from the chapel in six carriages. On returning to Nantgwillt a large number of j friends were assembled to receive them, and all sat down to a sumptuous dejeuner a la forehcttc. Breakfast being over, the happy pair left in a carriage and four en route for the Continent. At Rhayader they were warmly welcomed and cheered, and passed under four triumphal arches erected in complment to the bride and the family of Nantgwillt, who are deservedly held in high esteem. The parties assembled at Nantgwillt to celebrate the happy event were Mrs. Lloyd, Kilrhue,. Miss Lewis, Nantgwillt, Mr. Lloyd, Bronwydd, Capt. Lloyd, Dolhaidd, Mrs. and Miss Thomas, Llwyuinadoc, and Mr. LI. Thomas, Mrs. and Miss Thomas, Wellfield, Archdeacon and Mrs. Yenables, the llev. Wm. Evans, Mrs. Evans, the Misses Evans, and Mr. W. Evans, Mr. Evan Williams, and Mr. Arthur Williams, Mr. and Mrs. Jones, Woodlands, Mr. Davies, Moorcourt, Mr. Evans, Llwynbarricd, Mr. Oliver, Mr. Banks, &c. When the shades of evening" had closed o'er the scene, Rhayader was beauti- fully illuminated, and there was a grand display of fire works. On Thursday a large number of the inhabitants of Rhayader and its vicinity partook of an excellently provided dinner at the Lion Hotel, provided by the worthy host and hostess Mr. and Mrs. Morgan. Convivialities were kept up until a late hour, and health and happiness to the bride and bridegroom, and prosperity to the house. of Bronwydd and Nantgwillt were drunk with much enthusiasm. W. Davies, Esq., of Ashfield, presided at the dinner, and Ebenezer Jones, Esq., surgeon, was vice-president.

I BRECON LOCAL BOARD OF HEALTH. I To the Editor of the Welshman. Sis,—I will thank you to correct a slight error which appeared in my report last week, (viz.,) that Mr. Fryer had seconded the motion for having a separate Highway Rate, for the different parishes in this town. Instead of which Mr. Fryer proposed that a separate Estimate should be sent in for the purpose of keeping the byeways in repair, and which was seconded by Mr. Bevan, the error arose from my having taken the extract from minutes kept by the clerk to the Board rather than relying on my own notes which, however, were correct. I have seen Mr. Fryer, and find that the fact is as I have stated, and deem it an act of justice to Mr. Fryer to correct the error. louR CORRESPONDENT. I

I BRECON COLLEGE. I I To the Editor of the Welshman. I S. Your faithful monitor opportunely sounded the trum- pet of alarm in the cars of the friends and supporters of the 13rocoii Independent College for the last and preceding weeks. The atmosphere of the above institution has not been so clear and healthy as the principles of nonconformists admit and require. Some silent self-denying and unostentatious friends of the institution have mourned in secret on account of this. We have seen how impolitic, and inconsistent with the prin- ciples of the New Testament is the formation of the com- mittee, which is in fact self-elected. The members of the old choose the members of the new or often they re-elect and re-appoint one another. Would it not be more consonant with the habits of all liberal governments,'and institutions that every county association should appoint their own represen- tatives in the management of the college affairs, as they are all contributors and supporters of the same. There arc other very dark things in the garment of the Brecon College, which I refrain to mention now, but if this gentle hint will not do, I shall be constrained to point out stains which, if removed I would much rather forgive and forget. Now, brethren, in the choice of a tutor take the advice of i'^stos, let it be public, calm, and in a prayerful manner. Dare not, for the institution's sake to thrust a tutor upon the College without the approval of the ministers, the friends, and supporters of the institution. Be not precipitate, divest yourselves of all interested mo- tives, have the sense of each county as far as practicable. Lay it down as an eternal maxim that the principles of the rfonconformists, which I conceive to be the principles of the New Testament cannot or will not live in the foul air of despotism. I am, Sir, your's truly, A LIBERAL NOT IN WORD ONLY BUT IN DEED. I

To the Editor of the Welshman. SIR,—Aliow me to inform you that your correspondent I | Estos's" ignorance of the proceedings of the committee of the above college is calculated to mislead the public. I need not inform the friends of the Institution (a fact that is so well known) that at a general committee of the college, which was convened by public notice, and which met at Brecon Xov. 9th, a sub-committea was appointed to prepare and arrange the important business of the next General Committee. Six of the members of the sub-com- mittee met at Llandovery, on the 20th of November, and that is the meeting to which your correspondent refers. As Estos" seems to know so little of the doings of the committee, I may as well inform him that the general meeting is to be held at Brecon for the purpose of selecting two new Tutors, and that every Independent Minister ia North and South Wales, and every annual subscriber of one pound is a member of the General Committee, and has a voice in the whole of the proceedings. I am, Sir, Respectfully yours, W. MORGJAX, I A mciiiber of the sub-committee. Fountain IIall, Dec. 14th, 1S53.

THE RIVER TEIFY. I To the Editor of the Welshman. May-Fly states, "that the Teify is an early river, not a a late one." May it prove so, for an early river for fishing is always better than a late one. Fish are generally in better order, firmer, and cleaner. The great drawback to it is, a dry hot summer, with no water in the river, to allow salmon to get up from the sea. Should a summer prove one of these, there would be no fish, for salmon never run into a river unless there is a good fresh to draw them up. It seems to me that salmon at a naturally stated period, come from the ocean sonicwuere, into deep water at the mouth of their respective rivers, where they remain in a sort of half salt and half fresh water, but at the very outside of the fresh part, out at sea, waiting for a stronger mixture of fresh, before they regularly run up in shoals. Should there, therefore, be three months dry hot weather in the summer, no fish could or would be taken either in the Teify or any other river. In the autumn however, the weather is cooler and much more likely to bring us freshes; so, should our fence months begin too early, both netters and fly fishers would have no sport. I am as much <l¡.;ainst taking salmon out of season, as any one, and am by these letters, doing my very best to prevent others doing SQ. I do not think the middlo of October, or say the first, too late for rod fishing. I wish to explain myself about fly rods having a month or six weeks after netting has closed. Sup- pose the nets pay two pounds a-year, and the rods the same, or one^pound each, or five, have not the nets twenty to fifty times the pull in taking salmon to the rod ? Cannot a net in one sweep take twenty salmon ? Whereas the rod fisher killing- three or four in a day would consider it very good sport. (Oh may I ever have such luck in Teify.) In both Scotland and Ireland a month or six weeks is allowed for rods —iand rods only, after the nets have had their share (the lion's) and this is but fair, for as I have stated before, one net only during a season,;will kill more salmon than all the rods used on the river. A net can be used in coloured or clear w:tter -t fly rod only when the river is at a certain height and colour. Everybody knows it is useless fishing with the rod for salmon in thick high water, or in very clear and low; be- sides which the angler must wait for wind and clouds, neither of which does the netter care much about. Should there be fish in the river, they draw their nets at all periods, when the angler has to remain at home, put his tackle in order, per- haps for weeks without the chance of a cast. Therefore it is but fair play to give the salmon angler a chance of a clear run for a month or six weeks after the nets have had their fun—killing fish low down the river by dozens, which would have given a chance to the angler had some of them.been allowed to come up stream to the upper pools. Do not be too hard you netters on the rod fishers, depend upon it they are your best friends. They preserve your spawning beds, buy your netted fish when they cannot catch them themselves, (a most frequent occurrence in the Teifv) and are now ready to pay for the preservation of the river with your help, for your benefit as well as their own. I will suppose the Teify open from March the first until October the 15th. Nets should be allowed (by paying a license) to be used from the first of March until the 30th of August, and then leave off, allowing the salmon a clear run up into all parts of the Teify, for the use of the rods. Six weeks only I ask for rods, six. months for the use of your iiets. Do I ask too much ? We certainly have the fishing during your six months as well, but consider the number of salmon you take and prevent us ever having a chance of seeing them. I have fished for many years in Ireland, and not one person—salmon netter or -ever objected to this plan, nor do they either in Scotland. Arc we Welshmen to be considered a worse tempered. people than they, or less sporting. f ou cannot surely wish to keep all the fun and benefit to your- selves, and leave your country gentlemen, fond of the noble sport of salmon fishing, without a chance of a week or two good sport and amusement. The fly rod can never hurt your netting. The few fish it takes amounts to nothing, should spearing and night lines be put an end to, which I most sin- cerely hope will be shortly. I wish to inform Davy Jones, I will be at the Lion Hotel Lampeter on Monday next, and if lie will kindly bring a few knowing old hands with him, no doubt the Teify in time, will be a better salmon river than it is at present.
