1 CARDIGANSHIRE. CHARGE OF ROBBERY.-On Thursday the third instant I a special petty sessions for the Hundred of Kilgerran, was held at the Fishguard Arms, Bridge End, St. Dogmells, before John Bowen, Esq., when Morris Phillips, Kilgerran, was charged with stealing a door, the property of Mr. William Allen, of Kilgerran, who proved the loss of the property, and that he afterwards discovered it cut up and made into a child's cart, and in the possession of one of the prisoner's children. The evidence was not complete, and the prisoner was re- manded until the fifth instant when the case was fully gone into, and the wood was produced by superintendent Harrison, and identified. Mr. Mitchell, of the firm of Messrs. George, and Mitchell, attended on behalf of the prisoner, and reserved any defence until the trial. The prisoner was committed for trial at the next Pembrokeshire Quarter Sessions, and the necessary witnesses were bound over to prosecute. ABERYSTWITH.-THE HARVEST.—The weather during the East week has been most propitious for the corn, and reaping has commenced in several parts of the neighbourhood. Mr. Morgan James, of Llanbadarn, began cutting a field of wheat early in the week. In the vale of Clarach, the corn looks ripe for the sickle, and in some parts operations have com- menced there. LOWER TROEDYRAYR PETTY SESSIONS. The monthly Petty Sessions for this division was held on Monday last, at the Shire-hall, Cardigan, before Thomas Lloyd, Esq. An adjourned affiliation case was disposed of. Walter David Jones, Esq., applied to the Justices for the appointment of a parish Surveyor of highways in Aberporth, pursuant to the provisions of the Act of Parliament, the inhabitants of the parish having neglected, or refused to appoint one in Vestry, as required by law. The necessary facts to prove the want of the appointment having been shown in _prove the want tices appointed Mr. David Morgan of Pennar, and Mr. Levi Thomas, of Plas, to be surveyors. Notices for the an- nual licensing meeting were issued. There was no further public business. THE TIVY SIDE ARCHERY MEETING.—The members of this club were entertained at the Priory, Cardigan, the residence of R. D. Jenkins, Esq., on Wednesday last, and exceedingly good play was exhibited by some of the members in the matches, which took place in a meadow adjacent to the Priory. The weather was very propitious, the company numerous, and the scene as viewed by the spectators, pre- sented a very animated appearance. Amongst the company present on the occason were—Captain Lewes and Mrs. Lewes, Llysnewydd, and party Mr. and Mrs. Jordan, and fa- mily, Pigeonsford Miss England, Mr. and Mrs. Groynett Tyler, the Rev. Robert and Mrs. Colby, Messrs.

On the second instant, the Aberystwith Tabernacle choral society gave a concert at the Tabernacle, Newquay, when the Rev. Mr. Evans, of Meadow, presided, and remarked briefly on the duty that devolved upon every one that had been endowed with musical talent to cultivate it, as it was intended by man's creator to alleviate the griefs to which the-human race is subjected, but more especially, because it formed the most beautiful and delightful part of Divine Worship. The choir sang about twenty pieces, chiefly from Handel, Haydn, Mozart, Mendelsshon, &c., &c., and it may be stated without any danger of exaggeration that the works of th 10 the works of those great composers lost nothing at their hands. The proceedings were appropriated towards liqui- dating the debt which remains upon a schoOTfoom built in the town. The usual vote of thanks to the Rev. chairman was proposed, and the meeting terminated about 11 o'clock. LLANILAR PETTY SESSIONS.—On Saturday last, before G. W. Parry, and James Davis, Esqrs. An assault case was entered into, in which Thomas Edwards, of Tynfron, and others were plaintiffs, and Margaret Richards, wife of William Richards, and others were defendants, for violently assaulting Thomas Edwards, and having behaved in a riotous and dis- orderly manner, on the 21st day of July last. F. R. Roberts, Esq., appeared for the plaintiffs, and W. H. Thomas, and J. M. Davis, Esqrs., for defendants. It appeared from the evi- dence of the complainants, that in pursuance of a trial which took place at the last Cardigan assizes, in which Edwards and William Richards were the parties concerned, as plaintiff and defendant, to recover possession of a piece of ground, the pro- perty of Lord Lisburne, enclosed by the defendant from the sheepwalk, on a farm in the occupation of Edwards, and in which, judgment was given for the plaintiff, J. Miller, Esq., Thomas Edwards with several others, proceeded on the above day to pull down a hedge, enclosing the ground in question, but no sooner had they commenced, than a great number of women assembled and assaulted them with stones and clods, and ultimately prevented them from accomplishing their object. A great number of witnesses were examined on both sides- the defence being that the plaintiff also assaulted the women. The result was, that Margaret Richards was fined L3 and costs, but in consequence of not paying the penalty she was com- mitted to prison. Mary Jones was fined £1 and costs. Sophia Williams, 10s. and costs, and entered into sureties of zC20 each for twelve months, to keep the peace.—On Monday, at the magistrates' clerk's office. Elizabeth Lewis was brought up, charged with being a party in the same offence, and fined £ l and costs, and ordered to find sureties.—Charles Macarthen versus, Elizabeth Edwards, of Gwarffynnon. This was a similar case to the former. The complainant, as woodman to Col. Wemyss, had gone to pull down a hedge, illegally erected upon the farm of Cwmnewidion-ucha, when. Elizabeth Ed- wards came and struck his horses on the head with a pick," and with the same implement struck him on his ancle, in consequence of which, he had been lame ever since. She had also told her mother-in-law to fetch a teakettle full of hot water. John Jones, who accompanied complainant, corrobo- rated his evidence, and also stated that he had had some warm water thrown over him. Fined 10s. and costs, and to find sureties.—Isaac Jenkins was fined Is. and costs for having an illegible name upon his cart.—Thomas Lyons, charged David Davies and Rees Williams, with being drunk and disorderly. Fined 5s. and costs.—William Davies of Glanrhos, for the same offence, was fined 5s. and costs. RECENT ARRIVALS AT THE LION HOTEL, ABERYSTWITH. —Mr. and Mrs. G. E. Francis, Bayswater, London; Rev. W.

Hill, M.A., Trinity Church, Leicester, on behalf of the Church Missionary Society. The appeal was very effective, being interpersed with incidents of the successful result of Foreign Missions. A collection was made at the conclussion, which amounted to 120 10s. 3id. The public meeting was held at the assembly rooms on Monday evening, John Miller, Esq., Mayor, in the chair. The room was crowded with visitors and inhabitants interested in the cause. The proceedings commenced with prayer, by the Rev. J. Hughes, Vicar, after which he addressed the the meeting, showing what this society had done towards the conversion of the heathen in different parts of the world. The rev. gentleman stated that the Aberystwith branch for the year before last had a balance of X35 9s. 8d. after remitting J6849 9s. 6d. to the parent society, and he had no doubt that they would be enabled to send X1000 for the past year. The society had 116 stations and 12 missions, 143 ministers, 1,916 communicants, between 40,000 and 50,000 heathen children brought up in the right way, and he urged that they had abundant reason for supporting the cause, and in doing so they performe an act of vast importance, as they were not following trifles, but contributing to bring souls to happiness. The Bible was now allowed to be circulated in Turkey, and even in Constantinople a meeting of the. Bible Society had been held. They had also encouraging signs from India and other parts of the earth. The Rev. W. Hill then addressed the meeting, entering more particularly into the practical operations of the Society. He stated the number of Missionary Societies in Great Britain, all labouring to one great and glorious end. The doings of this society in Western Africa., In Sierra Leone, last year, the Bishop had confirmed 3,000 persons, and a great number of natives were waiting for ordi- nation. In one village of 380 inhabitants, 120 were com- municants, and all except six attended Bible classes and Divine Servie. 26 Churches had been erected, 5,296 scholars were in the schools, and 2,988 communicants. The Missions to HindostaIl and the result; there were 260 stations belonging to 22 Missionary Societies, 103,0000 communicants, 354 schools, for females, with 11,500 pupils. The Bible translated into different languages through 25 printing establishments. The reverend speaker gave equally satisfactory accounts from the valleys of the Ganges, Madras, and the Punjaub. The thanks of the meeting were given to Mr. Hill for his important in- formation, proposed by the Vicar and seconded by the Mayor, and carried unanimously. The Vicar then proposed the thanks of the audience to the Mayor, which was carried by an unani- mous show of hands.

CARDIGAN AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY. I On Thursday the 3rd instant, the first show of cattle, poultry, implements, &c., for the district of the Cardigan Union was held in a field at Pontycliefon, part of the Priory Estate. The day was remarkably fine, and contributed con- siderably to the novelty and interest of the exhibition. The number of cattle and horses entered for competition far ex- ceeded the expectation of the promoters of the society, and the character of the various animals exhibited equally surpassed the hopes of the promoters of this first exhibition connected with the club. At an early hour in the day, the roads leading to the field were thronged with animals intended Ifor exhibition, which presented a fine appearance. The rules of the society admit landowners of the neighbour- hood to compete for the honour of excellence, but the pebu- niary prizes are confined to tenant farmers. It may appear invidious to specially notice any of the animals not included in the prize list, but the splendid herd of CastlemartinB ex. hibited by Morgan Jones, Esq., Penlan, and Mrs. Jenkins, of J H -Tenkius, Panterion, the beautiful herd of Ayrshire's by J. H. Jenkins, Esq., Kilbronne, and Messrs. Weston and Parker, of the Black Lion Hotel, Cardigan, demand notice. There was also a fine bull of the Ayrshire breed, sent by S. E. Colby, Esq., of Havod, and a remarkably fine Ayrshire bull 16 months old was sent by John Colby, Esq., of Fynone. There were several beautiful bulls, of the Castlemartin breed, among which one shewn by R. D. Jenkins, Esq., attracted attention. The show of sheep, pigs, and poultry, was not large, attri- butable in a great (legree to the shortness of the public notice given of the intended show. J. H. Jenkins, Esq., Kilbronne, had a pen of fine sheep, and one ram. W. L. Noott, Esq., Cardigan, had a fine ram, which was much admired, although that belonging to W. G. George, Esq., was adjudged the best. John Colby, Esq., had a hatch of fine Dorking chickens, and a pair of beautiful Cochin China fowls. Mrs. Griffith, Pantgroyn, also exhibited a pair of handsome Chinese geese, and Mr. Benjamin Row- lands, saddler, Cardigan, had a remarkably fine drake and duck. Thomas Morgan, Esq., Cardigan, exhibited a coop of Shanghai fowls, which were much admired. The pigs shewn were few, and those much noticed were a fine boar, belonging to J. H. Jenkins, Esq., and a sow and litter of ten pigs, of the were fewJ, enkinst, he %o ar, the property of Mr. Richards, of Noyaddwillim, near Cardigan. There was a very large show of horses, principally of the draught breed. The visitors to the show field were exceedingly numerous. The Secretary, James Jenkins, Esq., notwithstanding the onerous duties of the day kindly afforded every facility in his power to the public. The judges were Mr. Currie, Great Vaynor, near Nar- erth, Captain Lewes, Llysnewydd, and R. J. Dansey, Esq., Dyffryn, Kenarth, and their decisions gave very general satis- faction. Some of the cattle were pronounced by the judges to be equal to any they had ever seen. The following is a list of the prizes awarded; the tenant fanners only derived pecuniary benefit:— I CATTLE.

Colby, Esq., was vice-president. Among others present were- W. H. Lewis, Esq., Clynfiew; Captain Lewes, Llysnewydd; Dr. Jones, Llancych; R. D.

Griffiths, Esq., Pantgwyn; John Davies, Esq., M.A., Cardigan, Mr. Currie, Great Vaynor, &c. The company separated, after a most convivial evening, at an early hour, much gratified at the result of the days' pro- ceedings, and with a full determination to excel next year.

BRECON TOWN COUNCIL MEETING. On Thursday, the 3rd instant, this Council held their Quarterly Meeting, Present—Mordecai Jones,' Esq., in the chair. Alderman Jones, J. P. de Winton, Esq., John Powell,  v Esq., G. R. Bevan, Esq., Thomas Williams, E<q., Evan Thomas, Esq., Mr. Peter Hodges, and Mr. John.N The minutes of the last meeting, and of the several meetings of the Local Board of Health during the last quarter were read and confirmed. A lengthened discussion took place as to the payment of the remaining interest to the market debenture holders so far as the funds would allow, but no order to that effect being made the subject dropped. A question arose as to whether the subscriptions to the Wellington monument had been paid up. Mr. Powell asked if they had received the amount re- quired. quie Town Clerk said that they had not, but that Sir Joseph Bailey Bart., had promised to increase his subscription if requisite. Mr. Powell had no doubt that Mr. Thomas would complete the work without applying for anything on account. Mr. de Winton said that he would pay his £50. Ordered that the Clerk do write to all the subscribers requesting them to pay up their subscriptions forthwith. Mr. John Powell, with regard to the mail arrangements, said that all that they could do had been done, and the mail now arrived something like half-an-hour earlier than for- merly. Alderman" Jones moved that the former gas committee be re-appointed. The Town Clerk read the report of the committee which was as follows -At a meeting of the committed ap- pointed to enquire into the state of the gas supply under the existing contract, on Monday the 26th June, 1854, and to determine upon certain measures or steps with respect to the same.—Morrdecai Jones, Esq., mayor, in the chair Present- John Powell, Esq., ex-mayor, Mr. John Williams, and Mr. Richard Fryer, The committee having read the minutes of their appoint- ment and perused the present contract for the supply of gas entered into with the late Mr. Hugh Jones, and Mr. Thomas Protheroe Price, dated the 30th day of October, 1834, for the term of 30 years from the 10th of August 1835, and ter- minable upon 12 months notice at the end of toe first 12 years thereof-recommended first-That the Town Council do give immediate notice to Mr. Thomas Protheroe Price, to the executors of the late Mr. Hugh Jones, and aho to Mr. Hugh Parry Jones, the present gas contractor, to terminate the above contract at the expiration of the first 12 years thereof, namely, by 12-months ootiee ta take effect on the 10th of August, 1846. Secondly—Information having been received from several other towns as to the terms of supplying gas, the committee further recommended that the Town Council should sanction a scheme under the powers of the Joint Stock Companies Act, or under a special Act of Parlia- ment, for the purpose of obtaining a proper supply of gas in this town (after the expiration of the said contract) either by purchasing and improving the present gas works, or erecting and making entirely? new works, so that all, or the material improvements which now exist in manufacturing gas be adopted in this town. Mr. Hodges said the gas was in a wretched state at pre- sent. Mr. John Powell said it was a question of very material importance to the town, that some decisive measures be at once adopted with regard to this question. The first 21 years of the contract would expire in August 1856, and it was necessary to give 12 months notice to the gas proprietors of their intention to abandon the contract, or it would go on for 30 years. He thought they ought to give notice at once, and then they could perhaps make some arrangement. They ought to come to some understanding as to what the present proprietor would do, and if they could not come to terms, they should at once erect new gas works. Mr. Thomas Williams was of opinion that they ought at once to give notice to the present proprietor, and suggested that they should issue an advertisement for lighting the town. He was not an advocate for keeping the subject a close question for the town, but to advertise it as there was nothing like competition. Mr. Powell said he would move that the report be receiv- ed, and the committee re-appointed. Mr. J. P. de Winton seconded the motion. It was then resolved that the report of the committee be received, notice be immediately given to the Gas contrac- tors, and the present committee re-appointed. The Mayor said Williams still occupied the piece of land under the Captain's Walk for which he paid no rent. Mr. E. Thomas suggested that they should adopt some pro- ceedings against him. In reply to the Mayor, the Town Clerk said he had occupied it 17 years. Mr. G. R. Bevan understood Williams had paid rent to Superintendent Stephens. Mr. Thomas Williams said Mr. Lawrence had received the rent from Mr. Stephens. The Town Clerk was ordered to adopt proceedings to recover the rent now due. Mr. de Winton enquired if there was any obstruction to Mr. Cobb's piece of land by the dog kennel. Mr. lderman Jones said he thought they ought to change the scent, and referred to Mr. E. Thomas who was the only gentleman present who represented the Brecon hunt. Mr. Thomas thought it did not annoy, and was not detri- mental to any person. Alderman Jones said they had discharged their duty by noticing it. Agreed that no further steps be taken.

I BRECON LOCAL BOARD OF HEALTH. Mr. Watkins read the proceedings of the last meeting. Mr. de Winton referred to the heaps of manure that was always kept in the market place. He thought that was a very Improper place to keep it. Mr. Kirk the Surveyor said it was removed very often. Mr. Thos. Williams said he had seen three or four cart ) loads there at one time. Mr. John Powell wished to draw the attention of the meet- ing to the subject of the drain under Captain's Walk-one of the principal public drains of the town, which was a disgraceful nuisance. Doctor Lucas had complained to him respecting it. He never noticed it himself until he accom- panied the committee to the spot, and it certainly emitted a very disagreable odour in consequence of about 44 yards not being covered over their Surveyor had estimated the ex- pense of covering it. If they covered it the way it now ran it would cost jE12, but if it could be taken through the Harp garden the cost would be X10. He was happy to tell the meeting that when any improvements were wanted in any part of the town, near or adjoining any of his property he could only say take it, and as this drain could be carried into the river through his property called th- Harp Garden X2 cheaper than the other way they were welcome to carry it through, and he would propose that this drain be altered by turning it under the Harp Garden into the river at an ex- pense not exceeding £10. Mr. de Winton seconded the proposition, which was car- ried. Mr. Evan Thomas thought they ought to be much obliged to Mr. Powell for his generosity in allowing them to carry the drain through his property. Mr. Powell hoped the time would soon arrive when they should have a complete system of drainage. Mr. Hodges moved that the drain from the bottom of Ship- street to the river be taken up Three Cocks Lane and through the Boar's Head premises, the property of R. T. Watkins, Esq., instead of the presant course, at an expense not exceeding J620. Mr. John Powell for the purpose of raising the question would second the motion. Mr. Thomas Williams remarked that they might be called to account for it, as it appeared to him a private drain. He would suggest that they should not expend more money upon it. Mr. Hodges observed, that he had known instances where £ 60 or J670 had been spent by that Board for the private con- venience of certain parties that there was extra water now in Horn's Lane, wwch made the case a very different one, and the present drain was not sufficient in ordinary cases much less during floods. The Mayor remarked that the whole of the drainage from the middle of the town went down that way. Mr. Evan Thomas could not see they were in a position to expend J620 on a place which would not come under the new system. sy Mr. Hodges could not say whether any of the new drainage would come under the new system. Mr. Evan Thomas moved an amendment that this out- lay be not made. Mr. John Williams seconded the amendment, which was carried by three to two. Mr. Powell said the expense of covering the Moddrell, in Baileyglaes would be £ 140. He wasnot at present prepared to propose any specific motion, but merely threw out a remark for their consideration. He thought something ought to be done; the result of the last two storms was fearful; poor people were deprived of almost everything they possessed. He thought the better plan would be to obtain a loan for a number of years, but, he would defer the question at present, but hoped at no distant period to lay before them a specinc motion. The Board then went into matter0 nf >»-— — BOARD OF HEALTH. —The presidency of the General Board of Health having been offered, it is said, to Mr. Strutt (and by him of course declined), is now awarded to Sir Benjamin Hall. The salary is zC2,000 a year.—Standard. COMMISSION SIGNED BY THE LORD-LIEUTENANT OF THE COUNTY OF BRECKNOCK.— BRECKNOCK ROYAL RIFLB RE- GIMENT OF MILITIA.-Christopher Mackay Read, Esq., to be Capt. BRECON COUNTY COURT.-This Court was held on Tuesday last, before Thomas Falconer, Esq., the Judge. There were several plaints entered for trial, none of which were of any particular interest.

GLAMORGANSHIRE. I BRITON FERRY.—PRESENTATION OF A TESTIMONIAL.— The workmen, tradesmen, and other inhabitants of Briton- ferry, some short time since, determined to present Mr. Thos. Jenkins, manager of the Briton-ferry Iron Works, with a tes- timonial expressive of their high estimation of his energy and perseverance, as well as the unvarying kindness he has evinced throughout the whole period of his connexion with this neighbourhood. The testimonial was a silver tea service and cup, and Saturday evening last, being the time fixed upon for its presentation, at the hour appointed, a highy res- pectable company of the promoters of the testimonial and friends, met at the Vernon Arms, where an excellent supper, which reflected credit on Mrs. and Mr. Davenport was served up. Dr. Whitty occupied the chair, and Mr. Price the vice-chair. In addition to the worthy chairman and vice-chairman, there were present, Mr. Powell, Mr. Ball, Mr. J. Powell, Captain Williams, Mr. John. Morgan, Mr. John Rees, (Penydarran), Mr. Leyson Thomas, and Messrs. Williams, Jones, Garlick, Henney, Edwards, Nurse, Taylor, and G. Hearne. Ample satisfaction having been done to the viands, the chairman, after giving the customary loyal toasts, the army and navy, called upon the company to render due honour to the toast of the evening-the health of their neigh- bour and guest, Mr. T. Jenkins. In taking that opportunity in the name of the promoters, to present Mr. Jenkins with the testimonial they had prepared, he regretted that the duty had not devolved upon some one more capable of doing the subject justice than himself. He felt, however, that comparatively little need be said in the presence of those whom he addressed. He and they had known their friend for. the past fifteen or sixteen years, and during that period they had invariably found him ready to do good to every person-to help every man on in life, who showed a disposition to get for- ward. In a period of difficulty and depression, which the in- habitants of Britontferry would long keep in mournful recol- lection, Mr. Jenkins had, by his energy, perseverance, and tact, been the means of keeping things together, and thereby prevented many families from leaving the place. He would add no more, but in the name of the com- mittee and subscribers, he begged to present to Mr. Jenkins the silver tea service and cup which stood before him, and with it he would, in a toast, embody what be felt sure must be the heart-felt sentiment of every one present —" Health and Prosperity to Mr. Thomas Jenkins and his Family and may he live long to enjoy the testi- monial which his friends and neighbours have pre- sented him with." (Cheers.) The toastihaving been drunk, Mr. Jenkins in returning thanks, said that it was impossible for him to convey to them all that he felt on this occasion. He might however, observe, that costly and hand- some as the gift mw before him undoubtedly was, he valued the good feeling that suggested it still more highly, as it was to him a proof that he stood well in the opinions of those by whom he was surrounded. The principle which he had en- deavoured to act up to, through life, was, that it was his duty to do good to every body so that he did not injure himself. Perhaps he might be allowed to say, and he did so with all honesty, that the thought of having been instrumental in helping a poor neighbour or family was the greatest pleasure which he felt, even in this happy hour. (Cheers.) In again thanking those around him, and the subscribers, he would add that this was the proudest evening of his life. The toast nf "RnMPAR to the Iron Trade of Glamorganshire," was re- 1-" sponded to by Mr. John Rees, of Penydarran, who observed that, intimately bound up as all the great interests of this district were with the sentiment of the toast-he felt its im- portance, & in hoping that their good wishes might be realised oy greater progress in future, even than had been made in the past-he trusted that Briton-ferry would have its share of general success. (Applause.) Other toasts followed in quick succession, including, Success to Trade-the Press- the Chairman, and the Vice-chairman," which both gentle- men briefly acknowledged. The evening was rationally and pleasantly spent, and the company broke up at an early hour. The service consists of an entire tea and coffee service and cup, worked in Chinese pattern, andjreflects great credit on the taste of Mr. Hutchinson, silversmith, of Swansea. The following is the inscription" This tea service and cup are presented to Mr. Thomas Jenkins, by tradesmen, workmen, and other inhabitants of Briton-ferry, in grateful acknow- ledgment of his energy and perseverance in carrying on the Briton-ferry Iron Works, and affording employment to many poor families during a peiiod of great local depression."

THE WAR. The celebrated Albanian chief, Tafil Burg, has just been raised to the rank of Pacha, with a special mission to Thes- saly. This person is the King of the Arnaouts, and as great a brigand as ever trod upon the soil of Macedonia. The Univers says:—The Russian Archimtndrite of Jerusa- lem has been at Rome for some weeks. On the other hand, Prince Gregory Wolconski, attache at the Russian Legation at Rome, arrived in that city about a fortnight back, with de- spatches from his Government. The German journals an- nounce that a Russian agent has likewise been sent to Rome to give explanations, in the name of the Czar, respecting the questions of the Holy Places. On the 27th ult., the naval division, which had been re- connoitering, were off Anapa, the Crimea and Sebastopol The Fury had observed the Russian fleet, motionless, in the port of Sebastopol. Several divisions of the allied army are in march on Eustrundii. An English frigate, after an engagement with a pirate vessel at Samos, hung two of the pirates at the yard-arm. The Russian rear guard was about half way between Bucha- rest and Busco. On the 3rd the Turkish army had not entered Bucharest, Buchaiest was about to send a loyal ad. dress to the Porte. Luders' troops were retreating on Brai- low. It is said that retrograde movements are being made in Moldavia. CRONSTADT, AUG. 2.—The Archduke Constantine has had a hair-breadth escape of his life. The boat in which he was embraked was upset. Admiral Galitzin and four seamen were embraked was Ufi?te Sea squadron had entered the Gulf of drowne d Th. Onegskaia. BUCHAREST, AUG. 7. The Turkish vanguard under Skender Bey has just entered the city. The rear guard of the Russians, consisting of seven regi- ments of Hussars and Cossacks, is only two miles distant. Moldavia will be evacuated. Russian regiments are already retreating across the Pruth. Probably all that is hoped from Austria is the occupation of the Principalities as a neutral power. The Lloyd's of Vienna states that Austria and the Porte have entered into an agreement, to the effect that as soon as the Austrians shall arrive on the Danube, the Ottoman troops are to be withdrawn. According to letters from St. Petersburgh the Czar's head- strong conduct is attributed to mental aberration, brought on by the liver complaint and dropsy, the latter of which is palpably observable as he walks either within or without the Imperial Palaoe. The Russian forces now in the Crimea consist principally of two divisions of the 6th Corps d' Armee, under General Tcheodaioff, which may amount to an effective army of 70,000 men, exclusive of the marines and dockyard battalions exist- i ng in Sebastopol. It is probable great efforts have been, and will be made, to increase this force; but, in the absence of communication by sea, a vast extent of steppes and marshes has to The traversed before the narrow isthmus of the Crimea can be reached at all from the interior of Russia. A fact calculated to make some noise in England has been, for some days, the subject of conversation at Constantinople. It was reported that a strong division of the Russian fleet had left Sebastopol. There was no truth in the statement. But it is unfortunately true that a Russian a team-frigate not only eluded the surveillance of our cruisers, but actually showed herself at the mouth of the Bosphorus. On quitting Sebas- topol the Vladimir repaired to the Asiatic coast, where she sunk several Turkish vessels laden with corn. She then proceeded to Heraclea, in the hope of surprising the English steamer Cyclops, which, having landed her guns, would have fallen an easy prey had she been in the roads. The Cyclops fortunately was detained at Constantinople for the purpose of undergoing some repairs after been ordered to Heraclea to in- quire into the state of the coal mines which are being worked on that coast for the use of the combined fleets. The Vladimir, however, did not return empty-handed, for she took in tow at Heraclea and brought off two vessels laden with coal. THE OVERLAND MAIL.—ALEXANDRIA, AUG. 2.—The In- dian Mail arrived at Trieste on Tuesday, with advices from Calcutta, June 29; Madras, July 5; Shanghai, June 1; Hong Kong, June 22; Singapore, June 29; Penang, July 3; Bombay, July 1. The Russians have taken pqpsession of Kahan, near Bokhara. Business in India dull. Great dis- turbance in the north of China.

journey home from India, it took him only forty-two days, and the last mail came in thirty-one. If those things had taken place East-about, they might hope that a similar change would take place West-about. Captain J. Cochrane Hoseason, R.N., rose to propose a toast, which he left sure would be received with more than ordinary pleasure-that of American Commerce," which was represented on that occasion by Mr. Stell, a gentleman who, although a stranger amongst them, was, as he (Capt. H.) was informed, deservedly popular, and of the same blood as themselves. He had the pleasure of knowing the Ameri- cans well-he had long witnessed and admired the indomi- table energy and keen foresight which they displayed in their commercial enterprises. It was the Americans who had opened the Nicaragua route to San Francisco, and established a line of steamers, varying from fifteen hundred to three thoussnd tons burthen, between New York and the capital of California. It was the Americans who were constructing the Panama Railway, by means of which the communication with their own and our gold-producing countries, California and Australia, would be so greatly facilitated. He confessed, when he witnessed the vast energies put forth from time to time by the Americans, he, as an Englishman, felt some- what jealous, but there was no malice mixed with that jealousy. It was rather a feeling that he was proud of. The young vigour of America had enabled it to take a stride in advance of its more tardy parent on this side of the Atlantic, and so strongly had that impression been made on the minds of the people of Australia, that not long ago the Chamber of 'Commerce of Melbourne had memoralised the New York Chamber of Commerce for the establishment of a direct steam communication between Australia and this country. Why was it they did not address themselves to the Manchester Chamber of Com- merce instead of to that of New York ? The reason was, that the extraordinary energy of the Americans gave them better hopes of success from that country than from this. He trust- ed that the example set by the Americans in this respect would bring out the latent talent of England. We must "go a-head," or we shall lose the sea. Reference had been made by the president of the Manchester Chamber of Com- merce that evening to the charge which had been brought against the men of Manchester, that they were actuated by selfish motives, and sought their own interest apart from those of the country at large. That gentleman had denied the truth of such a charge, and had affirmed that the interests of Manchester were inseparably allied to the general inte- rests of the country, and he (Capt. H.) fully believed that such was the case. That charge had been brought against the Manchester men in reference to the great measures the repeal of the Corn and Navigation Laws, but he thought the result of those great changes had been to benefit this country in an extraordinary degree. The repeal of the Navigation Laws had immediate connection with the toast which he had to propose, inasmuch as it afforded him an opportunity of referring- to another instance of the energy of the Americans. No sooner had those laws been re- pealed, than their transatlantic brethren had their ships ready to compete with those of this country, and it had since been found that the competition was advantageous to both parties. The Americans at once adopted large steamers for long voyages. They very soon proved the vast economy which was thereby effected, and so thoroughly were the Liverpool and Manchester merchants convinced of that economy, that they instantly bought up all the fine Ame- rican vessels as they arrived in the English ports. They had thus become the owners of the Sovereign of the Seas," and many other first-class steamers. In fact, all their finest vessels were built in America, which was the result of the repeal of the navigation laws. Another result of the repeal had been the immediate establishment of three great lines of American steamers between New York, England, and the Continent of Europe. One line, the Collins', to Liverpool, another to Southampton and Havre, and the third to South- ampton and Bremer. It had been anticipated by some parties when the Collins' line of steamers, of three thousand tons each, first arrived at Liverpool, they would soon ruin our Cunard Company, which had long been established between that port and New York; but what were the facts? Why, the Cunard Company, who only three or four years ago ran their boats but once a month in winter, and once a fortnight in summer, now ran them once a week and sometimes twice a week all the year round-and the rate of freight was even higher now than before the competition. Moreover, they had gone on increasing the size of their vessels from twelve hundred tons, the original size, to four thousand tons—the last boat ordered, That circumstance made it essential that they should have capacious, safe, and deep harbours to receive those large vescels. It was American enterprise that had, in three or four years, enbled us to make those extraordinary advances, and it was the Manchestgr men who had encou- raged and availed themselves of that enterprise. It was both combined, that had necessitated the present meeting, and had brought them that day to Milford Haven, to look for accom- modation suited to the wonderful increase which bad taken place ill our commerce. He could not help remarking upon what appeared to be the hand of Providence in opening the eyes of America and this country within the last five or six years to the vast mineral resources of California and Australia. It had been shown, on the authority of a gentleman whose testimony was undoubted, that whilst the human race was rapidly increasing in number, the produce of the mines of all the world previous to the discovery of those in California and Australia, did not for many years exceed £8,000,0000 per annum—a sum far too small to supply the increasing wants of the human family. But the riches of California were then laid bare to our view, and after them those of Australia. The discoveries of gold in California had gone on increasing from £ 2,000,000. in 1849, to X20,000,000, in 1853, while those of Australia, which were only first made in May, 1851, had increased from Y,1,000,000, in that year, to zC20,00 0,000, in 1853, thus showing that from the date of the first discovery in Australia-only two years and a half—the produce of that country had arrived at a sum equal to that of talifomia, and the produce of both countries combined stood to the produce of all the world, in the ratio of five to one. The very order of these discoveries was beneficial to England, as it enabled the Americans, with their usual energy, to set to work at once in the construction of a railway across the Isthmus of Panama, and thus facilitate our transit to Aus- tralia. The Australian Direct Steam Navigation Company had availed themselves of the route thus offered as being the speediest and best that could be chosen. Their steamers would afford the readiest means of transmitting to this country the valuable productions of both Australia and California, as well as of the other states bordering the Pacific, all of whom would unquestionably, in a large measure, profit by the surprising energy of the Americans in the construction of the Panama Railway, which, in the course of a few months, would be brought to completition. Captain Hoseason then concluded by proposing "American Commerce." (Drank with loud cKe ? r .1 ?,till an American gentleman, acknowledged the toast. Mr. till an American gentleman, acknowledged the toast. Mr. Titherington stated that ships had of late increased very much in size, so much so that in Liverpool there was great difficulty in docking them. A large ship very lately arrived in Liverpool which could not get into dock for four or five days. If she had come into Milford, and if there were a railway from thence direct to Manchester, her cotton might have been discharged and in the hands of the manufacturers in less time than it would take to dock her at Liverpool. The Chairman, in a very complimentary speech, proposed the health of Colonel Greville," the proprietor of Milford, and who felt a deep interest in its prosperity. (Drank with loud cheers.) Colonel Greville in returning thanks, said that was an honour he had yet to merit. He stood among them as a new man, quite a tyro. He had been for many years in various parts of the world, and if he had gained any knowledge he hoped to turn it to the advantage of his own home. If he did anything worthy of merit he believed the meeting would be on his side, and lend him a helping hand. They were on the eve of a new era for the Principality of Wales, but to be ready for the good time coming they must begin at once. They must all pull together. He took that opportunity of speaking out on one point which was, that of throwing open a port which was of immense importance to the commerce of the country. Their friends from Manchester had been brought by railway within eight miles of Milford, and those eight miles they had to travel in ricketty coaches, which was by no means a pleasant mode of transit after a safe and commo- dious railway carriage. He had a strong hope that in a short time there would be a railway communication direct to the town of Milford. He was prepared to do all in his power for that end, and he took that opportunity of appealing to the South Wales Company through his friend Mr. Kinderley, for their powerful aid in accomplishing that object. A line of four miles length would be sufficient, and he would ask why should there not be a railroad where the convenience of the people required it. He had that day seen what his grand uncle, his uncle, and his mother had spoken of as sure to come to pass. He had. seen Manchester in Milford Haven. It had been remarked by one of the preceding speakers that there was scarcely anything to be seen on the shores of that beau- tiful Haven, but houses in ruins. He would promise them if they would only come to Milford, and make it their port, the ruined houses would soon disappear. With steam and railways all difficulties would be overcome. He urged them to avail themselves of Milford, as a port, and they should be received with hearty welcomes. Several other toasts having being proposed and responded to, the meeting terminated.
