HOUSE OF LOItL)6, TUESDAY, FEB. 7. I I The Lord Chancellor took his seat oa the woolsack at tve o'clock. The Earl of Shaftesbury presented a petition from Bridport in favour of the establishment of reformatory schools. The Duke of Argyll presented a petition from Ayr, praying for the establishment of a national system of education in Scotland. Lord Monteagle called attention to the great increase as well as the deplorable consequeueez; of railway accidents, and pressed on the Government the necessity of placing a return of the llumberf accidents before the house. He understood, from what passed in another place, that it was the intention of the Government to introduce a bill on this subject, and he hoped thev would soon have an opportunity in this house of judging of that measure. Karl Eitzwilliam concurred in the necessity of legislation upon this matter, but thought, if any measure was proposed, it ought to originate with their lordships' house. Lord Stanley, of Aldcrley, said the Government was fully sensible of the importance of the subject, and were anxious to assent to any remedy which could be proposed. It was true that a bill would be introduced into the House of Commons, and this it was hoped would meet the evils complained of by the public last session. A committee of inquiry sat upon the question, and the report emanating from them would no doubt exercise an important influence upon the forthcoming bill. Earl Grey suggested that as there was hardly a railway company in England who did not apply every session for new powers, their lordships might accomplish the object desired b:\ the proposed bill, if they refused to grant these powers without a thorough inquiry 'into the manner in which their existing ones had been exercised and where necessary, with- out inserting a clause for the protection and safety of the nponle. CHonr .1- -r Lord Campbell considered that further legislation was indis- pensable, and hoped a bill would pass both houses this session which would do justice to the country. The subject then dropped. Earl Hardwicke called the attention of the House to the state of the Navy List, and intimated that is was his intention to conclude by moving the appointment of a committee to in- quire into the subject. The noble earl moved accordingly. The Earl of Aberdeen admitted the importance of the sub- ject, but observed that it was a remarkable fact that no Board of Admiralty had thought it their duty to interfere with the existing regulations, which had been in force since 1827. He would, however, draw the attention of the First Lord of the Admiralty to the subject; but though there might be cases of individual hardship, he did not see how, having due regard to the efficiency of the service, a fairer system than the pre- sent could be adopted. Lord Colchester said, some alteration was requisite which would have for effect to make it imperative upon officers, before promotion, to serve a particular time in a senior branch of the service. The Earl of Ellenborougli suggested that it might be expe- dient to reconsider the details of the existing rules. That which was perfectly applicable in 1827 must, in many cases, be totally inapplicable in 1854. After a few words from the Earl of Waldegrave, the subject was dropped, and their lordships adjourned.

HOUSE OF COMMONS, TUESDAY, FER. 7. I Tile Speaker took the chair shortly before 4 o clocn. A large number of private bills were introduced by Mr. Bntherton, and read a first time. The following bills were read a second time, and ordered to be committed:—Swansea Vale Railway, Towy Vale Rail- way. Mr. Ferguson presented a petition from Carlisle upon the subject of the ecclesiastical patronage in that town. Mr. Wilcox presented a petition from Southampton against the sale of intoxicating liquors on Sundays 0 Mr. Horsfall presented a petition from the Liverpool Chamber of Commerce in favour of a system of decimal coinage. Mr T. Duncombe presented petitions from two individuals named Barnard and Dunn, each of whom claimed to be the inventor of the penny receipt stamp upon paper, and praying the house to appoint a committee with the view of having their claims investigated, and if found correct, rewarded. Lord J. Russell presented a petition from the Corporation of Cambridge complaining of the corrupt practices which pre- vailed at the last election for that town, and praying that stijis might be taken to prevent a recurrence of such abuses. Lord J. Russell brought in the New Oath Bill, which was read a first time, and ordered to be read a second time on Monday fortnight. Mr. T. Duneombe gave notice that on this day fortnight he should move for leave to bring in a bill to amend the act relative to the settlement of disputes between masters and servants by arbitration. Ir. hckinnon gave notice that on this day fortnight he should move the appointment of a select committee to inquire into the revenue and condition of Ramsgate and the Cinque Ports. Mr. Adderlev wished to ask Lord John Russell, whether the Education Bill of last session will be re-introduced, or any measure brought forward bv the Government this session, on the subject of national education generally, or specially for the establishment of pauper schools. Lord John Russell said it was not his intention to introduce the bill of last session in the shape it was in before. It was the intention of the Government rather to wait to learn the effect of the bill, which was to be introduced by the Lord Advocate of Scotland. With respect to pauper schools that question was still under the consideration of the Government. (Hear, hear.) Sir E. Lacoti begged to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether it is the intention of her Majesty's Government to introduce any measure this session on the subject of church rates. Lord Paimerston hoped to be able introduce such a measure very shortly. Mr. Oliveira wished to ask the Secretary of the Treasury, whether any impedient has presented itself to the general issue of perforated postage stamps to the public. Mr. "W ilson said the delay had been occasioned by the demand for receipt stamps, but alter to-day none but per- forated postage stamps woul d be issued by the Inland Revenue Department, a suppLy ot which, he noped, would be ready to- morrow. Mr. Collier moved for leave to bring in a bill to extend the jurisdiction of the Stannaries Court to Devonshire, and to define and regulate the cost-book system of mining, and to limit, in some degree, the liability of partners in cost book J..L< LWH. lW was a et)uvert to lOose wno advocated its adoption. wno After a few words from Mr. Monatt, Mr. ik"18?11 mentioned several instances where the principli e of limited liability had worked exceedingly well and said he had no doubt that, if it were universally adopted  which were now harassing ?

Mr. Brady brought in biA bill for the Re-istration of  a^SLer^eir <* which was retd a^'r^rimt!! his bill for the Fisheries (Ireland) which was read a first time, On the Metropolitan Sewers (Deptford Pumping s?.), bemg moved b? Mr, :arothenon, r" Mr. Williams objected to the plan proposed to be carried out by the bill, and he therefore moved, as an amendment, that the second reading be postponed for a week, in order to obtain from the Home Secretary a promise that nothing ■dioiiid be done until the new commission of sewers should be appointed. Mr. Fitzroy hoped the hon. gentleman would not persevere with his amendment, as whatever plans might be adopted this pumping station at Deptford must be established. After some observations from Mr. Pellatt, Mr. Williams withdrew his amendment, and the bill was read a second time. Colonel Blair presented petitions from Ayr in favour of a national system of education, and against the appointment of lloman Catholic chaplains to gaols. Mr. Bland asked the Secretary for Ireland whether it was the intention of the government, in the proposed measure for transferring jurisdiction from Ecclesiastical to Civil Courts, to include those in Ireland. Sir J. Young replied in the affirmative. Mr. Hudson complained that Mr. Duncombe should have made an accusation against him without giving him any notice of his intention. The Times newspaper was always unfortunate in its attacks upon himself, and if the hon. gentleman had acted honestly, he should, when quoting the Times' charge, have also quoted the repiy of his solicitor, denying the accuracy of the charge it made. He declared upon his honour that he was wholly innocent of the charges, and, though he had been legally wrong in some things that he had done, yet he was morally right, and even the monies he was called upon to replace had never been received by him. He must leave it to posterity to do him justice, consoling himself for the aspersions against him by the consciousness of his innocence. He was ready to submit to any investiga- tion before a committee of the house. Some unopposed returns were then agreed to and the house adjourned, having sat only about three quarters of an hour.

BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH. "WELSHMAN" OFFICE, FRIDAY MORNING. EASTERN WAR. (From Second Edition of the Times.) Our Vienna Correspondent telegraphs: On Thursday morning, we learn by telegraphic advico from Constantinople that the Turkish Cabinet has been dismissed, and one in favour of a compromise with Russia formed. VIENNA, WEDNESDAY 4 P.M. Count Orloff left at nine o'clock this morning, taking with him the assurance that Austria and Prussia would remain neutral, although the Russian Envoy offered to give up the pretension to treat with Turkey alone. These new proposi- tions were recited. The English Ambassador was very positive, in consequence of express instructions from home on the subject. According to General :Schildcl"s report to the Russian Embassy, the army of occupation is in a pitiable condition, the original corps being 3o7,000 men weaker than wilen it I crossed the Truth in July last. I THE FUNDS, (THURSDAY EVENING.) I Reports from Constantinople announcing the accession to office of a Ministry favourable to a compromise with Russia, caused a sudden advance in English Funds of half per cent., which was subsequently supported. Railways steadier in tone, a slight advance on former quo tations being firmly supported. In Land, Bank, and jMines few transactions, and no ma- terial change.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH (YESTERDAY). I The Queen versus Beresford. This case came on this morning. Mr. James, on behalf of persons preferring the indictment, said that owing to the exposures which had taken place, they considered that enough had been done to prevent the recur- rence of improper practices at future elections, and he was therefore instructed to offer no evidence in support of the in- dictment. It would therefore be the duty of the jury to re- turn a verdict of Not Guilty, which was accordingly re- turned. Sir F. Thesiger, on behalf of Major Beresford, denied in the strongest manner that anything had been done by his client to prevent the fullest inquiry. Mr. James having also stated that no compromise had been made, Lord Campbell said that under the circumstances it might be supposed that the course pursued was suspicious, but from what had taken place the public would be satisfied, from the fact of no evidence having been adduced to support the charge. The jury then withdrew.

HOUSE OF COMMONS-THURSDAY FEB. 9. The House assembled at four o'clock Several private bills were brought in and read a first time. Mr. W. Patten referring to the investigation before the commissioners for inquiry into corrupt practices at Hull, which cost one thousand seven hundred and fifty pounds for printing, asked whether the treasury had taken any steps to mark their disapprobation of this excessive expenditure. I Mr. YV i<son said the treasury had done all in their power to mark their disapprobation. It had been customary in other cases to pay commissioners fifty guinea, for preparing a report, but in this case that sum would not be paid. In reply to Air.

Though Parliament is assembled its debates do not act as a diversion to the interest attaching to the Eastern ques- tion and the attention devoted to it. Daily new facts arise, trifling and evanescent it is true, to rivet the public mind ever and anon to this never ending subject. Last week Count OrloH's mission stood pre-eminent, but that has ceased to attract ere its purpose is really understood. Much canvassing it has received, and we are told various stories respecting its nature, its tendencies, and its results. But it seems to be generally accredited that Count Orloff did not come to sue for peace.He has asked Austria to be neutral according to one version; according to another story, he has requested leave for Russian troops to cross the Austrian Territory and has ijot disguised his master's supre- mest hope that Austria fill no longer remain a Calm Spectator, but will declare herself in his favour. At all events whatever, the Count's propositions, and however skilfully he may have impressed them, it is confidently announced that he has failed to obtain from the Emperor Joseph, either a promise of neutrality or the expression of a hope that Austria can be less adverse in action than in interest and sympathy to the plans adopted by the Czar for oppressing and destroying Turkey. It is even now doubt- ful if Count Orloff has visited Berlin at all. At all events the King ha3 shewn no fresh Russian leanings; the anti Russian party in the Kingdom is daily growing stronger and the Prince of Prussia, the heir presumptive to the throne, has openly avowed his belief that the time has come when Russia must be checked and not by words merely but by acts.-Thus far the attitude of the chief of the German Courts is promising enough and faith is widely entertained that Austria and Prussia will be true alike to their tradi- tions and their national interests. Their delay however it is which leads the European mind to doubt their sincerity and to anticipate from them a time serving, blind, and therefore disastrous policy. The reply of the Czar to the last propo- sitions is known to have been not merely evasive of the real question now at issue, but decidedly insulting to the Western Powers. He desires further negotiations now that the time has almost lapsed even for energetic action yet he questions the right of interference of those who have so completely committed themselves to the championship of the just cause of the weaker party. The Russian ambassadors at London and Vienna have quitted their posts, and Lord Clarendon, speak- ing in the Lords, alludes to the prospects of peace in gloomy tones and foreboding phrases. Gloom and dread begot from a consciousness of the terrible scourge which a war would now be. Yet the blue books which have been laid upon the parliamentary tables show how patiently, temperately yet con- fidently Lord Clarendon and the ministry have endeavoured to stem the torrent of the Russian aggressor's ill-will and ill- judgment. If a war ensue, Lord Clarendon will be exonerated by his fellows and applauded by History for the part he has borne in the negotiations. If the English people are called on to pay for a defence of the right, and a defeat of the European enemy they will be conscious at least that no domestic treachery has led them into the conflict; and that their ministry has done all that men strong in consciousness of a good cause could do to stay the hand of the bully.-The Telegraph brings us strange and often untruthful statements. A recent one is that the Czar, in reply to the Sentence in the Queen's Speech will address an autograph letter to her Majesty explaining most satisfactorily (to himself) that he was not the aggressor in this Russo Turkish dispute. Will he prove that the Turks invited him to cross the Pruth and that they lent him porters, the easier to shift his luggage into their new Quarters? Spite of all the impudence and all the braggadocio of the Czar there is still a lingering faith in the public mind that he will not fight, and a positive faith that if he do fight -\ve shall soon crush him. Heaven prosper the right Parliament has really done little but talk, and that not very glibly; and announce, but that to a very good and great extent. Some of the promised new measures are intro- duced among them Mr. Cardwell's measure respecting the coasting trade and the discipline of British crews. It is even to be more effective than was anticipated and provides for enquiry into accidents by sea and the means of ;ecung I remedies for careless men and neglect on the part of Ship- owners. For this the public generally will heartily thank him. The days are appointed for introducing other still more important measures.

CARMARTHEN TOWN COUNCIL. 1 A Quarterly meeting of this body was held in the Council Chamber, Guildhall, on Monday last. There were present-the Mayor, (in the chair), Aldermen W. Morris, E. H. Staeey, J. G. Phillips, and John Lewis. Councillors— E. 1- 1 Stace3- J. G. T. C. Moms, G. Davies, Brigstockc, Goode, P. G. Jones, D. Davies, J. L. Phillips, John Thomas (maltster), Lawrence, J. Thomas, (law-stationer), and W. Warren. The customary Finance Committee met at 10 o'clock, when bills to the amount of £550-were passed and subsequently confirmed. The Town Clerk read the minutes of the last meeting. A statement of the sale of Corporation Property was pro- duced, showing a balance of L912 5s. in hand. The Town Clerk stated Lliit the committee appointed at the last meeting to report on the wool-room, and house for weighing butter, had not come to any decision further than to instruct the Surveyor to new plans, which he would prepare in a few days. Mr. Moxham had written to him respecting the premium, which he was declared not entitled to, stating that ho had not fully con- sidered the question. Contracts f.r the erection of the Slaughter House had not baen advertised for, but eich of the four parties who had previously sent in tenders had been apprized by circular, that the new plans &c., might be inspected at his office. Three out of four had replied to the communication The Surveyor reported that the sum at present required for repairing the roads was between £ 70 and £80 a year if let by contract he considered that a saving of from LIO to S,12 might be ^fleeted. In reply to a question, Mr. Goode remarked that the County Roads Board employed their own labourers, but the system of letting out the roads by contracts had been tried with success in Glamorganshire. After several unimportant suggestions, it was resolved that in future the roads of this district be done by contract for twelve months, and that handbills for tenders be printed and circulated. The Surveyor reported that the expense of flagging the south side of Lammas-Street-360 square yards at 4s. 7d. and 240 yards of kerbing at Is. 6d.—would be £ 99 15s. Mr. Brigstockc remarked that the committee recommended that this should be delayed until the drainage was effected. Mr. John Thomas (maltster), observed that he believed the petitioners in this case would be fully satisfied, if they had an assurance that the work would b3 completed when the drainage was carried out. They only Iequircd a pledge. Mr. W. Morris suggested that no new pavement be constructed, but that the old pavements be repaired. I lr. G. Davies stated that in Mr. Brodie's opinion the flagging would interfere with the drainage. After a short discussion, It was resolved that the question be postponed till the drainage be effected. The Surveyor stated that at a Council Meeting held on the 11th May, 18.52, it was ordered that a house for a fire-engine be built adjoining the present station, at a cost of X7 10s. This had not been carried out. Mr. Brigstocke thought it ought to be done immedi- ately. The Town Clerk suggested that it stand over. After a short conversation, it was ordered that the surveyor should endeavour to find a convenient shed, and report thereon to the Council. It was resolved that the charges for pump, soil-cart, and hose be arranged by the committee. The Town Clerk reported that he had prepared bye-laws for the borough, but did not see that they could be carried out till the drainage was completed. The Surveyor suggested that several clauses might be carried into effect, such as the prevention of ashes being placed on the street. Mr. W. Morris called the attention of the Council to that portion of the town between the upper part of Lammas Street and Pieton's Monument, where dirt scrapings and other lilthy substances were placed in heaps on each side of the road. This was consequent on the neglect of the Surveyor to the District Roads Board. Mr. G. Goode observed that application ought to be made to the County Roads Board. Several members of the Council having expressed their opinions as to its being a nuisance, it was resolved that the Town Clerk communicate with the County Roads Board, on the desirableness of coming to an arrangement by which the borough surveyor may have the superintendence of cleansing the road at Picton Terrace. It was also resolved that a committee composed of the fol- lowing members of the Council be appointed to frame bye- laws—viz., Messrs. W. Morris, E. H. Stacey, P. G. Jones, Parry, Brigstocke, Goode, and John Thomas, (maltster), three to form a quorum. The Surveyor's estimate for a highway rate was produced, to which was added £ 45 for outstanding bills, the sum of L48 3s. 9J. for-new work being deducted. After an unimportant conversation the estimate was approved and a rate of ninopence in the pound ordered. Mr. Brigstocke applied for the sanction of the Local Hoard to the ground selected by the klurial Board, for a cemetery, which the churchwardens had received orders to carry out under the provisions of an act of Parliament. There was some alteration from the original order as to intramural interments, the order in Privy Council stating that burials within 20 feet of the walls of S'. David's Church, or within 20 feet of the church-yard wall be forthwith discontinued, and that between those boundaries burials be limited to eighty a year. The Mayor expressed his disapproval of any intramural iiitermeiits. Mr. W. Morris defended the views taken by the burial board, who recommended that all existing burial grounds be closed. If one general scheme were carried out the cemetery would be self-supporting, if otherwise, a rate would have to be made to support it. Mr. Brigstocke replied that he merely asked for the sanc- tion of the Local Board in the discharge of his duty as church- warden. He agreed with the Mayor and Mr. Moms. Mr. E. II. Stacey described the burial ground at Llan- llwch, of which no o'?iciiil mention had been made—as being excessively dangerous to the public health, and characterized Mr. Holland as the most vaciHatiug person ho ever met with, and quite incompetent to the task he was sent to perform. The Council unanimously concurred in Mr. Staeey's views, and after an animated and somewhat prolonged discussion, it was resolved that the Local Board decline sanctioning the modified scheme referred to in the order of Council now submitted for the approval of the board, Oil the ground of its being partial in its operation, and arc of opinion that imme- diately on a new burial ground being provided, all further intramural interments within the limits of the town should be discontinued, and that a representation be made to the L( L//e'*v jouu? Department, requesting his    themselves thhts f Ch 't' "n°. ellJ to t e CorporatIOn }Ir. Brio-stocke IV 0 n l.an Imal.

He had no doubt that the sanction of the Court of Chancery as to the Bond and the re-inibursenient could be- obtained. The fållowing resolution was then agreed to that the Rev. D. A. Williams, and Mr. Ribbons having expressed Hi-" wiHMgnessto resign their respective appoiutments as h? ,I master of Queen Elizabeth's and Sir Thomas iw. -jt, on the terms offered to them by the committee and confirmed by the Council on the 28th November, that the?

Stacey observed that the amount of outlay was not always to be considered as the safety of the public was paramount to every expense. lie thought, therefore, that Mr. Goode's motion was not an unreasonable one.  a  difasfion the amendment and motion were Put to the vote, when the former was negatived.

The ro"ms intended for the Literary Institute will be first occupied, and in a very short space of time. BOARD OR HEALTH.—On Monday last a committee acom- panied by Mr. Brodie and Sir. Weeks, proceeded to Cv.-moer- uant, when the former tendered several suggestions as to the required water supply which were highly approved, and he was requested to draw plans in accordance therewith. CAHUAIITHEX POLICE COUKT.— I'M DAY.— Present— The Mayor and E. H. Stacey, Esq.. A borough rate of Is. in the pound was examined and allowed. The Churchwardens and Overseers of the parish of Llanfihangel Abercowin, charged Benjamin Thomas with disobeying an order made for the maintenance of his poor and aged mother. It appears that the order in question was made in 1851, and the defen- dant continued to pay, in compliance with it, for 29 weeks. At this time lie was the occupier of a large farm, but which he ceased holding at Michaelmas 1852, since which time he had earned a livelihood by personal labour as a carpenter. The overseers attempted to enforce the order at the latter end of last year, but the case stood over to afford them an oppor- tunity of enquiring into the ability of defendant'^ brothers to contribute to his mother's support. Thev now renewed their application, and after a raiiier tedious enquiry the bench were ot opinion that this was not a case in which a person could be justly called upon to contribute to the subsistence of a poor relation, and the complaint was, therefore, dismissed. OIL Monaay, before _E, H. Stacey, Esq. P.C. Nicholas Martin charged Aim Llewellyn with an act of vagrancy. Committed to the House of Correction for one calendar month. On Tuesday before the Mnvnr anrl "R IT Mt-nnoTT V;cn Tinvid -J' .a .CV'J' -L.OV, "41 Lewis was charged by the parish officers of St. Peter's with deserting his family, and leaving them chargeable to the Parisa. Acomproinise -was effected, and the complaint with- drawn. David Jones shoe-maker, was charged with the like offence. This being the fifth charge cf the same nature, defendant was committed to the House of Correction for three months. At the Justice's Clerk's office on Wednesday, before Capt. J. G. Phillips. P.C. Nicholas "Martin charged" Thomas Jones with drunkenness. Discharged with a reprimand. P.C. Thomas Buckley, charged Thomas Williams with vagrancy. The prisoner admitted the charge, and was committed to the House of Correction for 14 days.—-Thursday, before E. II. Stacey, Esq., Thomas Dixon, was charged with obtaining six shillings from Mr. Thomas Mostyn Davies, King-street, by false pretences. It appeared from the evidence adduced thut on Friday last the prisoner called at the shop of Mr. Davies, representing himself as a servant of EJ. Ap Adams Esq. of Middleton Hall, and that he had been ordered to take a parcel from the Railway Station, but was six shillings short of the amount required to pay fur it. This sum he rquested 1),,i?vo:,i.es to leii,,t him, M-r. Davies to lend him, stating that it would be refunded on the following day. The story being told in a plausible manner lir. Davies was induced to comply, and the prisoner left the shop. On Saturday one of the servants from Mid- dleton Hall called, but no mention being made by him as to the previous davs transaction, Mr. Davies, suspicions were aroused and intelligence was communicated to the police who subsequently apprehended the prisoner, and he im- mediately admitted the charge. He was committed for trial. COüXTY lOADS HOAlm. At the Annitil General Ilectiii;, of the Cannai thtushire County Roads Board, holden in the Grand Jury Room, at the Shire Hall, in Carmarthen, on Friday last.

It was ordered -that aft additional BHn. (If not exceeding L30 be voted to the Three Commotts District Roads Board for repair- ing the smail embankment near Kidwelly. In consequence of the increased price of provisions it was resolve,1, that the sala- ries of the several officers ifathe Board be increased by 10 per cent., such increase to taktfSffect from the 1st January 1;13t.- It having appeared that a man's signature had been attached to a voucher without his authority, as having received a pay- ment which had not been made, the lessees of tolls & their col- lectors were warned that. any one so ofL-nding will exposo him- self to legal proceedings. The accounts for the year 1853, having been examined by the General Superintendent, his report was adopted whereoy it appears there is a balance of £ ■593 !)s. Id. due from the Treasurer. It was ordered—That a sum not exceeding £ 35 be granted to the Three Commotts Dis- trict Roads Board, to wideii the turnpike-road near Myrtle Hill. The lessee of the tolls of the Llandovery District having given notice to determine his contract on the 2iid instant, tho sur- veyor was ordered to collect the toils at the several gates and bars, and to appoint and pay the neccssary collectors, and that he be allowed one per cent, oil the net receipts, which are to be paid once a fortnight to the treasurer. The clerk was autho- rised to re-let the tolls of the Llandovery District, provided he can do so at the rate of £U)J per annum. The general superintendent having submitted his estimates of the receipts ) and expenditure for the current year,—it was ordered,—that the following sums be allotted to the several districts for this year, for the maintenance and repairs of the roads, and that the treasurer be instructed to anow correspouding credits to the several District Roads Board, viz. :—Carmarthen District, £ 2-41 £1931 10-i. lJitr¡ct, £2:H9 5s. Upon comparing the estinnte of the receipts and expenditure for the ensuing year, submitted by the general superintendent, and it appearing that the County Roads" Fund will be insufficient for the purposes to which it is applicable, a ceriticflt" fur a County lioads Rate, of L- 1763 hs. lid. was duly signed by the Chairman of the meeting. Notice was given by Sir John Mansel, Bart., that he wid move, at the next meeting of this Board, that Mr. William Evans, the surveyor of the Carmarthen District, be dismissed. The occupier of land near Llandowror not having cleansed the watercourse, after seven days' notice gi ven to him by the surveyor, in pursuance of thc resolution of 19th October last,—it was ordered-that the expenco incurred by the sur- veyor, be recovered under the provisions of 3 Geo. 4. c. 126. s' 114.

PEMLIIOKESHIRE POSTAL GRIEVANCES. -1 His worship the Mayor of Haverfordwest has received the foJlowing communication from the General Post Office in an- s.v. ei to the memoriat transmitted to the Postmaster General from the inhabitants of Haverfordwest, complaining of the (1play auù Inconvenience occasioned by the London and other -JOJ, vIS.I i..ai being continued to be forwarded from and to unrmardi. n oy a one horse mail cart, instead of the South Wales hailway. General Post Office, February 1, 1854. y ?'?  '?''??? ?' t? Postmaster General to acquaint  with  to the memorial which vou lately forwarded frL om t.h, e inhabitants of Haverforwest, that the question of em?iug.tho South Wales Hail way for serving that place with i s correspondence, both as regards the London and North mails, is. under consideration, and that his lordship's deci- cision wi l be £ ommamcated to you as early as the circum- stances of the case will allow. I am your obedient servant, I. TILLEY, Assistant Secretary. To the Mayor of If. a verford west. Mr. J. II. Pnilipps, M.P. for the borough, has also com- municated with the Postmaster General on the matter of complaint, and from the spirit in which he entered into the business at the meeting when the memorial above referred to was adopted, we have no doubt the honourable member has used, and will contmuc to use, every means in his power to ob'ain an alteration of the existing arrangements. In fact we can hardly suppose it possible that the Postmaster General can adduce any sufficient reasons for depriving the important towns of Pembrokeshire of a more speedy transit of their correspondence, which is now placed within his power by means of the South "Wales Railway. The reply obtained by Mr. Phillips to his communication is of similar import to that rceived by the Mayor.

The action was brought against the defendant as surveyor of roads for injuries done to the ser- \"ant of the plallltltt by reason of the non-repair of a bridge. t the trial there was a verdict for the plaintiff, with £100 damages. A rule was granted, however, to arrest the judg- ment;, Oil the ground that the defendant was not liable, and the judgment was arrested. The Court of Error thought that the decision of the Court below was right, and that the in- habitants of a county were not liable to be sued through their surveyor by an individual for damages in respect of injuries to his person and property, occasioned by a bridge re- pairable by the inhabitants of a county being out of repair. The judgment of the Court below would, therefore, be affirmed. I C.I..lUH' :n."m,' SE';STO Those lJ1""1::lY l\I!S8Í.on8 I b 4 "'J¡j\ver d1\ 181\Ju v. Tm'r<'f!l" --?
