THE EAST. VIENNA, WEDNESDAY EVENING, Nov. 2S. Advices from Constantinople of the 22d inst. announce the arrival there of a portion of the English fleet from the Black Sea, and the arrival of the American squadron from the Mediterranean. The cholera was carrying off many men of the Anglo- German Legion. The French were recruiting on a grand scale for their foreign legion The Tunisian troops are gone to Batoum. THE ATTACK ON THE REDAN.—In the address made by Captain Townshend at the dinner given to the ex-mayoro f Tamworth, the gallant Captain, alluding to the attack on the Redan, said Contrary to the account given by the correspondent of The Times, General Windham went to General Codrington for the express purpose of requesting that not another man might be sent to the Redan, as such was the destructive fire of the enemy that it was impossible for a man to live there. The account given by The Times correspondent had not been contradicted, but he (Captain Townshend) had accidental facilities for knowing the truth of his own statement, and could produce abundant evidence of its accuracy." Captain Townshend has not stated the exact truth. General Windham seeing that the men already in and about the Kedan were in complete confusion—no of- ficer being able to find his men-begged that he might have reinforcements in formation, but not otherwise. A mere military crowd would have proved no real reinforcement, and would have only added to the confusion. What General Windham earnestly demanded was men with their officers in complete order, and these, according to General Simpson, could not be sent, in consequence of the crowding and con- fusion in the trenches. All this was amply stated in our correspondent's letter, and has since been confirmed on the most unexceptionable authority. THE AUSTRIANS IN THE PRINCIPALITIES.—A letter from Bucharest, of the 15th, relates the following —" The town of Tergowitz, in the district of Dimpovizza, has just been the scene of a fresh act of violence on the part of an officer in the Austrian service against Dr. Schramm. a me- dical man in the Wallacian service, son of an officer for- merly in the French service under the Empire, and himself educated in France, and long under the protection of her authorities. Dr. Schramm had been before insulted in the presence of his wife by an Austrian captain named Micou- litsch, an account of which was sent to General Coronini; who, at the demand of the French authority, Grderedlan in- quirv to be instituted into the affair. On the 8th Nov., the day when the inquiry into this affair was going on, as Dr. Schramm, who had been requested by the administra- tor of the distrist to attend, was proceeding along the street of Tregovitz, he was rudely accosted by a brother officer of the first offender, a Captain Krafka, who seized the doc- tor by the arm in a violent manner, and asked him how he, a vile reptile and a miserable worthies* fel- low, could dare to lay a complaint against an officer of the Imperial army. The doctor quietly replied that he had nothing to do with passers by in the street, and begged the officer to let go his arm. Captain Krafka immediately released his hold, but it was for the pur- pose of drawing his sabre, with which he aimed a violent blow at the doctor's head, who however parried it with his cane, and was only wounded in the right arm The doctor then went into the court where the inquiry to the first affair was going on, and gave an account of the outrage to which he had been subjected. In the mean time, the interference of an armed force was found necessary to subdue the violence of the captain, who was raving like a maniac. Another application was made to the superior Austrian authorities, to which General Lallemand, who commanded in the absence of Count Coronini, replied that he had already degraded the captain, and ordered him to be brought to a court-martial. To this answer, the French Consul replied by a request that the result of the court-martial might be made known to him, as the latter case was not like the former, a mere breach of the laws of urbanity and respect to persons, but a serious attack against the life of a person under the protection of France." DUBLIN, WEDNESDAY EVENING.—Father Pecherine was again brought up to-day, and the information of several witnenses were read over, in the course of which it was distinctly sworn that the rev. gentlemen stood by while copies of the Holy Scriptures were being burnt by the mob; it was not, however, alleged that he gave orders for their destruction, nor did it clearly appear that he was cognizant of the fact.of the Bibles ana Prayer Books forming part of the stock of books consumed in the fire, There being no defence entered, Father Pecherine was bound in recognizan- Ma-himadf in £100 autl two aurttica of V* each-to abide i to UNI at as asû rtBtmMWfn

CARMARTHEN TRAINING INSTITUTION, For training Schoolmasters in the principles of the Church of England, and in union ivith the Rational Society. THIS Institution was founded in 1847, and opened in ) 1848. It has been managed hitherto in London, by the Tsh Education Committee of the National Society, but owing to the Subscriptions for Educational purposes in Wales having fallen off from 12500 to £ 1675, (one half of which latter sum is required for North Wales,) that Com- mittee found it necessary to diminish the annual expenditure of the Institution, and to seek the assistance of a Local Council to administer such funds as they felt they could devote for its support. Under these circumstances the Lord Bishop of St. David's, Lord Dynevor, and the Gentlemen whose names are hereinafter mentioned have consented to assume the duties of such Local Council, and to carry on the Institution for a limited time, thus involving themselves in considerable pecuniary responsibility. They have, however, ventured to do this, trusting that when it is known that pecuniary aid is required, the Inhabitants of the Southern portion of the Principality will readily fur- nish it. The Members of the Local Council are- THE LORD BISHOP OF ST. DAVID'S, THE LORD DYNEVOR, D. A. S. DAVIES, ESQ., M.P., J. LLOYD DAVIES, ESQ., M.P., R. G. THOMAS, ESQ., T. C. MORRIS, ESQ., R. J. NEVILL, ESQ., WM. MORRIS, ESQ. The Officers of the Institution are- THE REV. W. REED, M A., Principal, THE REV. W. E. JAMES, Vice-Principal, MR. PINDER, Master, MR. J. H. BARKER, Secretary. Treasurers- MESSRS. D. MORRIS & SONS, Carmarthen. [ADVERTISEMENT. ] TO THOMAS LLOYD, ESQ., The Lord Lieutenant and Custos Rotulorum of the County of Cardigan. The MEMORIAL of the undersigned INHABITANTS of ABEIi YSTWITII, HUMBLY SHFAVETH,— THAT whereas the Town of Aberystwith has been for a j_ great number of years justly celebrated for its quiet and decent observaii c e o  etahre s ?us tl ) c elebrated for its quiet and decent observance of the Lord's Day,-a fact which has alike caused astonishment and won the esteem of the nu- merous frequenters of the place,—your Memorialists cannot but view with apprehension and alarm the practice of the Band connected with the Militia now assembled here for training, playing on its way to and from Church on Sun- days. That the practice is a source of grief, and also highly inimicable to the feelings of the religious portion of the Inhabitants, your Memorialists have good ground for be- lieving, inasmuch as it it leads to a great and unusual degree of excitement and commotion in the public streets, strongly tends to encourage neglect of Public Worship and Sabbath- breaking, and by diminishing the reverence due to the Sacred Day, to create a change for the worse in the aspect of Sab- bath observance in the town, That your Memorialists, presuming that the playing of the Band on the Lord's Day is not indispensable to the re- gularity and good order of the force, do therefore earnestly and respectfully beseech that you will be pleased to confer with Colonel Powell, and grant your sanction to dispense with the practice during the remaining Sabbaths it may be under training.

I beg to say that the first time I saw the Memo- rial was, without the signatures, in the Welshman news- paper, and the only time I saw your reply thereto—addressed to a Mr. John Williams, of Aberystwith, one of the Memo- rialists—was in the same journal, published contrary to your expectations. Having been much engaged during the last and present week at the various hiring fairs in the County, I have been unable to send you an earlier answer. The Memorialists commence by stating that Aberystwith has been celebrated for a great number of years justly for its quiet and decent observance of Sunday, a fact which has caused astonishment to (admiration I presume they mean), & won the esteem of, the numerous frequenters of the place." It is a source of much gratification to me that the hard-working and labouring classes of Aberystwith are enabled to pass a day of enjoyment and rest from their labours on the Sun- day, and that this holy day is properly observed in a place, the interest of which I have much at heart; but I am not aware that Aberystwith enjoys the odour of sanctity in a greater degree than any other towns of England and Wales of similar size and traffic, or that we can pharisaically pro- claim ourselves better than other towns in this or any other respect. They proceed to state that they cannot but view with apprehension and alarm the practice of the Band connected with the Militia, there assembled for training, playing to and from Church on Sundays." Several of the individuals whose names appear as Memo- rialists have from the very first opposed the re-construction of the Militia they gave their countenance to paid emissa- ries of the Peace Society at public meetings in this town and in their shop windows placards of a character most de- preciatory to the Militia were suspended. I am not, therefore, at all surprised at these, and such like persons viewing with apprehension and alarm anything that tends to sustain the loyalty and good feeling of the Militia- men when under my command. I do not believe that the practice of playing the Militia to Church is a source of grief to the loyal and truly relig- ious portion of the inhabitants of this town, and I affirm that it led to no further excitement or commotion in the streets than would be caused in any town of the king- dom or Principality by the appearance, for the first time, after a lapse of forty years, of a body of fine young men, dressed and drilled as soldiers, and marching steadily, and in accordance with Her Majesty's regulations, in the midst of their fellow county and townsmen to Church. I entirely deny the charge of it having, in any way, en- couraged neglect of public worship, or desecrated the rever- ence due to the Sacred Day, or created a change for the worse in the aspect of the observance of Sunday in this town. Instead thereof, the Parish Church of Llanhadarn, to which, if weather permits, I shall always prefer marching my re- giment, has seldom been more thronged by an attentive congregation of all classes than on the second Sunday the Regiment attended Divine Service. Nor can I conceive it possible that the airs which the band was ordered to play in the streets of Aberystwith on its way to and from Church, on/1 alfiu\!lt T .1*1 »i Kr»rloi*n nn Ann).n(1ohjnO" nn/1 Ipovina hsOir ;difi¿:vn;îÿ:'VÏh" National Anthems of God save the I Bee, namel, ? Rule Britannia," which are frequently played in our Cathedrals and Churches, can be a source of grief and inimicable to the feelings of any loyal subject or well dis- posed patriot. I have made enquiries, and find that it would have been most discouraging to the young body of Militiamen under my command had the band been stopped playing them to Church. It is a custom long observed in the service, and was always pursued in this town by the Royal Cardigan Mi- litia. The Queen, the head of the Established Church of Eng- land and Wales, is graciously pleased to sanction the prac- tice, by ordering the bands of her own Regiments of Guards so to play, and it is one of the most cherished privileges of Soldiers and Militiamen that at their funerals the regimen- tal bands should play before the corpse to Church, a solemn air, and a lively tune on their return home after having paid the last military honors to their departed comrade and I hold it indispensable to the regularity and good order of the Militia nnder my command that the band should play the Regiment to and from Church on Sundays while stationed in this town. My officers and myself have had, and still continue to meet with, great difficulty in our endeavours to raise volun- teers for the Militia of this County. I trust that I shall always be able to rely on your steady support (as the Queen's representative in this County) to my endeavours to do my duty in these times of national trial, when it behoves every man, in his sphere, to come forward with truth and loyalty in support of Queen and Country. There is not the slightest objection on my part to your communicating these my views to the fifty-four Memorial- ists who assume to represent the feelings of the seven thou- sand inhabitants of Aberystwith and to prevent mistakes, as your letter in reply to the Memorial has been published, I shall prefer the Memorial, with the signatures attached, and this my letter, being sent to the local journals which are in circulation in the t wn and county. I herewith euu jse the Memorial, which I have had copied, And I have the honor to remain, My dear Lord Lieutenant, Your very faithful and obedient Servant, W. T. R. POWELL.

COBB, Clerk to the County Roads Board. BneGø, November 14tb, 1855. PARTNERSHIP. I A GENTLEMAN who unites with business habits, and 'k large experience in Mercantile pursuits, a capital of 1,OOO to p,200, is desirous of joining as partner any Gentleman in a well established business; has no objection to take an active part in, or the entire Management of the business, on terms of mutual agreement. None but Princi- pals will be attended to. Address in the first instance, by letter, to A.B.C., care of the Editor of the Welshman." It is requested that any complaints respecting the delay in the delivery of this Paper, be immediately ad- dressed to the Editor, so that the proper representations may be made to the Postmaster-General. We cannot insert, or notice in any way, any communica- tion that is sent to us anonymously but those who choose to address us in confidence will find their confidence re- spected. Neither can we undertake to return any manu- scripts whatever. The advantage of our telegraphic communication enables us to give the latest news of Thursday, by post on Friday morn ing, which we could not do by waiting the arrival of the evening papers, as weare compelled to be in post an hour before we could receive them. We are also enabled to give the debates in parliament to the rising of the houses, which is generally several hours later than can be obtained from the metropolitan press.

The battle is not always to the mighty, neither are the results of war invariably consonant with justice and right. But if the signs which now present themselves to the thoughtful are correctly read the termination of the contest of the Western Powers with Russia will be serviceable to the stability of national independence and produce changes conducive to rapid progress. Of course it is impossible to conjecture with any degree of certainty what will take place, as there are greater contingencies in war than in ordinary events, but the Countries of Western Europe rest with unshaken confidence in the rectitude of their purpose and in the assurance that the imperial sceptre will tremble in the grasp of the Czar. When despotism stretches out its vigorous arm to bring under its iron dominion kindreds and tongues over whom it has no right to reign, it touches a point where resistance is sure and repels with destructive power. The daring aggressions of Russia and her vile intrigues have exasperated the nations which have stepped to the foremost place in the onward movement, and on the altar of freedom they have sworn hitherto shalt thou go but no further. This battle unlike those that stain the pages of history is sustained not only by Kings, but by the people who all know why we struggle, and what wo have to gain. The sentiments that impelled to a declaration of war have not expired but have waxed stronger and stronger with the cumulation of knowledge. The war spirit, as it is termed, lives and has its being in the mind of every enlightened inhabitant of the allied nations, who is moved with the love of liberty and justice. In this country it is worked up to enthusiasm-not blind and empty, but the result of mature thought and stern resolve. This week we have comparatively little fresh news from the seat of war. The particulars of the victory of Omar Pasha have arrived, and will be found in another column. A rumour is in circulation that the enemy has retreated into Georgia, leaving the gallant Turks in undisputed possession of the district. It is probable that Omar Pasha will push on to Titlis this season. These are rumours, and must be taken for what they are worth. From the Crimea we learn thAt "ont" UG proceeding with hardly any variation. General Vivian was pressed rather closely by Russian troops, and had sent for reinforcements to go towards Yenikale. Some curiosity has been excited by a statement that Sweden had joined the allies, and formed plans for a campaign in the ensuing spring. This has been expressly contradicted by the Morning 1'ost, and reasserted by the Paris correspondent of the Times, who professes to derive his information from reliable sources. We have statement against statement, without any means of judging which is correct. We elsewhere supply the fullest information on this question. Peace is again talked of and terms for negotiations are expected to originate in Vienna. Much as we desire peace, we wonld not have it at the cost of honour, neither would we sacrifice what we have taken from Russia by force. History has not been written in vain. From the past we learn important truths, and no modem nation impresses us more deeply with the danger of putting our trust in Princes than does the vast empire over which the Czar reigns. Treaties, with their private articles, should make us wary of pretended neutral states who would have us negotiate and cheat us of our object. The allies have no faith in Austria or Prussia and suspect their movements. They are treacherous states and would betray us with the kiss of friendship. There have been several ministerial changes during the week. The Duke of Argyll, as we stated last week, has succeeded Lord Canning as Postmaster-General; and Lord Harrowby, vacating the Vice-Chancellorship of the Duchy of Lancaster, will take the Duke of Argyll's place as Lord Privy Seal. Mr. Baines, who retired from the Presidency of the Poor Law Board at the end of the last session, becomes Chancellor of the Duchy, with a seat in the Cabinet; and Lord Stanley of Alderley, the President of the Board of Trade, has also been appointed a member of the Cabinet. An early dissolution of Parliament is expected, and there is some probability in the prospect. The present is Lord Derby's House returned on the Corn Law question, and if the constituents were now required to elect their repre- sentatives it is thought that many familiar faces would be missed from the Commons. Lord John Russell, Mr. Cobtlen, and others, according to political Oil dits, will be unseated. It is said the country will have men to represent public opinion on the war, which is the leading question of the day, and that none but its uncompromising advocates will be returned. So let it be.

LOCAL INTELLIGENCE. | CARMARTHENSHIRE. The theatre has this week been open, and the performance is highly spoken of, but the houses have been thin. IMPROVEMENT OF THE ORGAN IN THE WESLEYAN CHAPEL, Consiùcrable improvement having been made in the organ of the English Wesleyan Chapel in this town by the addition of an octave of pedal pipes, the opening service was celebrated on Tuesday evening last, in a most pleasing manner by a tea meeting, and the performance of several pieces of sacred music. The admission was by ticket, of which a large number were disposed of, the proceeds amounting to X15. Tea was served in the school-room which was tastefully fitted up for the occasion, and it was filled to repletion by a respectacle company who at the con- clusion of the repast adjourned to the chapel where the other portion of the celebration was conducted. Mrs. Howells and Mr. Ilauptmann presided at the organ, and notwith- standing the absence of a large portion of the choir the various pieces were creditably performed, under the circum- stances much better than was anticipated. Altogether the meeting was most agreeable and successful in its result. FORTUNATE ESCAPE. On Wednesday evening last, Elizabeth Davies, a servant of Mr. Jacob Griffiths, landlord of the Farmers Arms, public house, narrowly escaped serious consequences from the accidental explosion of a quantity of gunpowder. It appears that a tin can with several pounds of powder used in mines, was deposited on a window sill in an under ground apartment of the house. The aperture was filled with a piece of rag. When the servant went into the room she unwittingly put the candle near the tiu can, and stooping down proceeded to take up some coal, the errand on which she was bent. It is supposed that a spark from the candle must have fallen on the rag impregnated with powder, for almost instantaneously there was an explosion, which fortunately did not spend its force on the young woman, as in her stooping position she was considerably below the level of the window and protected by the wall. Her face and the upper portion of her body were much scorched, particularly the hair of her head. The door of the room being open diminished the power of the explosion, and probably prevented the destruction of the floor above. The door frame was blown completely out of its place, and the bricks on each side removed. There was bappti; no other injury sustained. On Sunday last, after a sermon by the Ven. Archdeacon Bevan, M.A., in St. Peter's Church, a collection amounting to £ 10 4s., was made on behalf of the Church Building Society. CARMARTHENSHIRE AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY.—A meet- ing of the committee of this society was held ?n Saturdav last at the Boar's Head Hotel, in oder to appoint judmes of the fat stock and poultry which will be exhibited at the next Christmas show, to be held at Carmarthen on the 19th of December, and other business. There were present William Morris, Esq., in the chair, R. Waters, Esq., W. II. Shield, Esq., A. Smith, Esq., and W. Butland, Esq. Gentlemen from Cheltenham and Bath were named as judges of poultry, and butchers from Swansea and Pembroke as judges of the fat stock, and the secretary was directed to ascertain if thev would accept the appointment. The undecided premiums were left to be considered at the next committee meeting, which will be held on the 19th of December, and also the best means of increasing the funds of the society. PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE.—A meeting of this newlv- constituted committee of the Town Council was held at the Council Chamber, on Monday last, when there were present, the mayor, Messrs. Puddicombe, Goode, Norton, Thomas, (Quay-street) Lawrence, Lloyd, and Parry. A letter from Mr. W. Lewis, who had rented the Quay Dues at the recent letting, surrendering his contract, was read, and the dues were ordered to be re-let by auction on the 5th of December, immediately after the letting of the Turnpike Tolls. A bill from Mr. Bright (Foundry) for the iron gates of the new cattle market was considered, and recommended to the Coun- cil for payment-the cost of wooden doors to be deducted from Mr. Lewis's contract. A discussion took place as to a nuisance adjoining the assembly rooms, and on the recom- mendation of the surveyor a plinth and rail were ordered to be placed there to abate the nuisance. Another nuisance very much complained of, at the Lammas-street entrance to the provision market, was considered. The surveyor re- commended the erection of an urinal, but as this was at. tended with some difficulty-the obtaining the consent of Major Philipps, the owner of the freehold, being question- able, a guard board and caution board in Welsh and English, not to commit a nuisance, were eventually ordered to be put up. A drain was ordered to be made on the road leading to Castle Mount, to abate a nuisance which existed tncre. There vas a conversation as to a claim of Mr. Mox- i ham, the architect of the new cattle market, and he was I ordered to be paid and cloed with. Sundry works in the new cattle market and slaughterhouse were, on the report of the surveyor, recommended to be done, including the erection of sheep sheds, of an offal shed, of surface gutters, and drains at the exterior of the slaughterhouse, and the supply of various apparatus for the interior of the slaughter- house. CARMARTHEN PETTY SESRIOXS. -These sessions were held on Saturday last, in the Town-hall, before Henry Lawrence, Esq., M.D., D. J. B. Edwardes, Esq., and Gris- mond Philipps, Esq., Thomas Waters, grocer, Minke, Llan- gendeirne, was charged by Owen Thomas, Inspector of Weights and Measures, with using short weights and a false balance. The case having been formally proved, the defendant was fined £2 with costs. John Thomas, Llwyn- gollcn, was convicted, on the evidence of Owen Thomas, in the penalty of JE1 12s. with costs, for using short weights. David Rees, late of Gilfachwen, Conwil, was charged by Mr. Jos. Lewis, Relieving Officer, with neglecting to main- tain his wife. This was an adjourned case and a compromise having been effected, it was withdrawn. CARMARTHEN POLICE COURT. At the Town-hall, on Friday last, before T. C. Morris, Esq., (mayor), E. H. Stacey, Esq., and Lewis Morris, Esq.— Thomas Pltilpott Grady, polisher, King-street, was charged by Mr. W. Mor- gan with having fraudulently removed his goods to evade a distress. Mr. Morgan proved that the defendant was tenant of a house and shop of his in King-street, at the yearly rent'of £ 10 to be paid quarterly, and that the quarter's rent due on the 29th of September last, was still unpaid. Defendant admitted that the rent as alleged was due and pleaded in extenuation protracted illness. Mr. Morgan further stated that there was not sufficient furniture on the premises to satisfy his demand, the defendant having clan- destinely removed the greater portion of his goods. Thomas Jones, a sheriff's officer, deposed that he was instructed oil the 9th inst., to levy a distress on the defendants goods. He had repeatedly tried to obtain admission to the premises in King-street, but without success. On several of these occasions he had seen defendant and others in the house. They refused to admit him knowing his errand. On the 14th or 15th inst, he met defendant in Quay-street. He was talking to John Evans who said pointing to him, That is the man who has the warrant." Defendant remarked I will give him more trouble than he is aware of." Amelia Thomas, wife of Isaac Thomas, hair-dresser, proved that on the previous morning, soon after six o'clock, she saw defend- and his wife remove a French bedstead, sheet, table and cover, four chairs, four pictures, a feather bed and chimney ornaments to a house in Church-street. Mr. Henry Harries valued those articles at X4 3s. stating that he was not in the room where the goods were deposited, the door being locked but saw them through a window. Defendant said his defence was that sufficient goods remained on the premises to satisfy the claim of the landlord. On the suggestion of the magistrates he consented to permit Mr. Harries to value them, and for that purpose left the court. After the lapse of an hour Mr. Harries came into court and informed the bench that the value of the goods on the premises exceeded 13 being 10s. more than the demand. The case was conse- quently dismissed. The bailiff being in possession, having obtained admission at the valuation, the rent was soon after- wards paid in full. Mary Williams charged Mr. William Lloyd with non-payment of wages, stating on oath that she was hired by defendant at £ 3 15s. and that a balance of E2 3s. Id. was now due to her. The defence was that the whole of the wages had been paid in two advances of money, and by default of money for milk. It appeared that com- plainaut used to go out with milk" once a week, and was frequently deficient in the returns for it to the amount of 5s. or 6s. When spoken to respecting her disposal of the money, her practice was to reply never mind what I have done with it, charge the deficiency to my account against my wages." The further hearing of the case was adjourned for a week at the request of complainant, who desired the examination of witnesses in support of her claim. On Mon- day before E. II. Stacey, Esq., P.C. David Williams preferred a complaint of drunkenness and disorderly conduct against David Bcynon, who was convicted in the penalty of 5s. with costs. CHARGE OF STEALING HERRINGS, On Monday last, before E. H. Stacey, Esq.—John Williams, a lad of about 14 years old, was charged by Samuel Thomas, Pantgwyn, with stealing herings from a cart in Lammas-street. P.C. Richard Lewis, stated that on the previous Saturday he apprehended the prisoner on a charge of pilfering from a cart in the street, and on taking him to the station house he found a herring upon him. He cried and said If you leave me go free I will never do it again." The prisoner was remanded on bail. CAUTION —On Monday evening some person entered a shop in this town when the owner was in an adjoining room and carried away from the till all the loose silver and copper in it amounting to about a pound. Several persons have recentij7 lost money in a similar way, and it is conjectured that the thieves are boys of whom there are a large number in the town, left without parental restraint, and growing up in crime and ignorance. CHARGE OF OBTAINING MONEY UNDER FALSE PRE- I TENcFs.- On Monday last, before E. H. Stacey, Esq., John Langloll Leach, son of the Ven. Archdeacon Leach, sector of Egremont, Cumberland, formerly Clerk to the Surveyor of the Post Office for the South Wales District, was brought up I in the custody of the police on a charge of having obtained money from Mr. Matthews, postmaster of this town, under fraululcnt pretences. The prisoner is of dissipated habits, through which he lost a lucrative and promising situation. His personal appearance testified to the degrading influence of the life he has led, and excited the deepest commissera- tion. He was apprehended by Sergeant Buckley in a low house of illfame at Oxford, and appeared to feel most acutely the position in which he was placed. The only witness was Mr. John Matthews, who on being examined said, I am the post- master residing at Carmarthen. I know the prisoner. He has been in the service of the General Post Office. He held a situation there in May last as Surveyor's Clerk. He attended the post-offlce here in that capacity. In April last I received a letter from him from Newcastle-Emlyn asking me to send him twelve pounds, and he would send me a warrant, which I Ic?tter I produce. The letter is dated 23rd April, Hh), I j| sent him the twelve pounds by return of post in cash. On the 2nd of May last, I received another letter from him, which I now produce, in which he says he has a warrant for jE32 lis. 6d., and that if I would send him the difference between that sum and the twelve pounds which he had al- ready received, he would send me the warrant, or bring it. On the following morning I sent him E20 11s. 6d., in cash, to Newcastle-Emlyn. I received another letter from the prisoner, dated Gloucester, 10th May, 1855, in which he says, I will send vou the warrant for £ 32 lis. 6d. in three 1 T 1 1 4-~ T J or tour crays. i am ouugeu tu ictuiu it iu i^uuuon for correction." The prisoner has never sent me the warrant he refers to in these letters. I afterwards spoke to Mr. Rideout, the surveyor of the district, on the subject. I re- ceceived from Mr. Rideout the letter I produce, dated the 21st of May, in the prisoner's handwriting, in which he says, I would have sent my warrant to Carmarthen, but have not received it from the G. P. O. If I do not receive it in the morning I will send the money to-morrow night from London." All the letters I have produced arc in the hand- writing of the prisoner. I was induced by the ctatement in the prisoner's letter of April 23rd to send him the twelve pounds, and I was induced by the statement contained in the prisoner's letter received on the 2nd of May that he had got a warrant for X32 I Is, 6d,, and that he would send it to me, A warrant is an order of, and payable by, the Ae- countant-General. I do not believe the prisoner had in his pos-ession the warrant he speaks of in his letters. In reply to the prisoner, Mr. Matthews said, Mr. Rideout did not tell me that lie had retained your warrant. I saw him only a few minutes. The prisoner stated that he was in anticipa- tion of a warrant from the General Post Office at the time he wrote, and was gotnij to make some further observations when he was advised to reserve his defence. He was then remanded until Friday (to-day). Subsequent to the ex- amination a letter has been received from the General Post Office to the effect that a warrant for X32 lis. 6d. was issued for the prisoner on the 25th of May. One of Nasmyth's steam hammers is now in course of erection at the Dafen tin works, near Llanelly, by Messrs Phillips, Smith, and Co., the spirited proprietors of the works. At the Board of Guardians at the Llandilo-fawr Union, held on Saturday last, Mr. Thomas Puntan was elected Registrar of births and deaths for the Llangathen district. NEW CASTLE EMLYN FAIR.—This annual fair was held on the 22nd and 23rd inst. The supply of cattle was un- usually large, but there were only very few first rate animals on offer. Fat beasts fetched good prices, but there was a slack demand for lean and store animals. The show of horses was meagre, and those offered were of inferior merit. The second day's fair was well attended, and fat pigs sold at high prices. BETTWS FAIR. At this fair on Monday last, 'the stock exhibited was very inferior, and prices ruled low. Very few changed hands. On Tuesday there was a large sup- ply of pigs, and those fit for the butcher were in fair demand at about nine shillings per score, but store pigs were a complete drug and scarcely noticed.
