The balance in the treasurer's hand were as lollows To the credit of the district fund account X2 9s. GJ. To the estate do., X9 Os 6d. The minutes of the Highway Committee of the 27th inst. were read and confirmed as follows :• The Clerk's report on the liabilities of the South Wales Railway Company to repair the approaches to bridges and level crossings was laid before and considered by the coin mittee, and they recommend that an immediate representa- tion should be made to the railway company of the condi- tion of the approaches and roadway of the Union bridge, and that they be requested to put the same into a proper state both as regards gradients and repairs. The following, is an abstract of the report- In reference to the liability of the Snuth Wales Railway Company tc tepair the approaches to bridges and level crossings, the Clerkreportr.d In October of last year I had occasion to report to this Board whethcr, in my opinion, the South Wales Railway Company were liable to repair the approaches to the bridge passing over the railway near the Union public-house, at the Seaside, Llanelly. After a full consideration of the question I arrived at the conclu- sion that the Company, under the 46th section of the Rail- way Clauses Consolidation Act, 8 Vict. c. 20, were bound to maintain and repair so much of the road on each side as they have interfered with in making approaches 'to the bridge, under a penalty recoverable before justices, I had then no decisions) to guide me other than I Itex v. Kerrison," and 'Rex t). The Inhabitants of Kent," adverted to by Hodges on the Law of Railways, page 385 and 3^6, which cases, however, did not conclusively meet the point raised. "Your Board have again referred the whole matter for my further consideration and opinion, and I have no' to state for your information that the views taken in my first report as to the liability of the South Wales Railway Com- pany have been confirmed by the decision of the Judges (on the 20th of Januarr, 1,8-isi) in the Court of Queen's Bench, viz., the North Stanordshire Railway appellants, and Thomas Dale and other respondents and after referring tp the above Act and section, which provides that a bridge made by a Railway Company for carrying a turnpike road or public highway over or under the railway, with the imme- diate approaches and all other necessry works connected therewith, shall be executed, and at all times thereafter maintained at the expense of the company, imposes on the company the obligation of perpetually maintaining in re- pair the roadway over the bridge, and over the ascents and descents, notwithstanding that by sect. 56 (of 8 Vic. c. 20), where a railway company interferes with or raises a road, all that the company is requested to do is to restore it in as good a condition as the same was in at the time when it was first interfered with by the company, or as near thereto as circumstances will permit. Lord Campbell remarked in reference to section 46, 'It would be difficult to imagine language more precise and conclusive," and that the obli gation of the company is not complied with by merely making an archway without a road way, for the whole must be complete for the passing of carriages, horses, &c., and till that is done the work is not completed. Then it is metalled, and it must be kept so. Justice Wightmen con- curred, as also Justice Crompton. In the face of this decision I think the South Wales Railway Company cannot longer resist the maintaining and keeping in repair so much of the road on each side f the bridge near the Union, as they have interfered with and 1 submit that their attention should be,called to the above decision, accompanied by a request that they will forthwith comply with the terms of it, or your Board will be compelled to proceed for a penalty for neglect, before the Carmarthen- shiie justices." (Signed) F. L. BROWN. The Clerk laid before the committee the contract and ex- tra account of Jonah Davies up to the 29th of September, certified by the late surveyor, showing a balance of Y,50 due to the contractor in respect of his contract with the com- mittee, and recommend that it should be paid. The extras account appears to be settled. The Surveyor's report adverting to the matter referred to him by the previous meeting was laid before the committee, by which it appears that he is collecting data upon which to found his report. The committee recommended the payment of certain bills.

The subscriptions to the Society throughout the Principality during the 3"e31 bad been larger than those to any similar society, which the committee considered the strongest possible proof of the favourable position the Society holds in the country, and encourages them to pro- ceed in their work. Mr. Roderick, treasurer, then read the statement of accounts, from which it appeared that XIO 4s Id had been collected at the parish Church. X,3 6s at Llangen- nech, jE-5 7s 7d at PembreN,, X3 4s 3d at the Town Hall, jE7 lls 6d at Dafen Tin Works, and £{i1 13s annual sub- scriptions. Total, X75 6s 5d.

On Thursday morning the neighbours not seeing the deceased make her appearance as usual, knocked at her window and looked into the house, and discovered that the poor old woman was most severely burnt. She stated that the accident haprened on the previous night in endeavouring to extinguish the fire which had caught a heap of straw, in doing so her dress ignited, and she failed to put it out.

PEMBROKESHIRE, j PEMBROKESHIRE.\
PEMBROKESHIRE, j PEMBRO KESH IRE. Arrangements have been made to establish steam com- munication between Milford, Neyland, Pembroke-dock, Angle, and Dale, and also to supply steam tugs, for the use of the harbour. "HOME! SWEET HOME !A few Saturdays ago, Mr. Gwyther; of Brawdy, near Solva, disposed at Haverfordwest Market, of several pairs of pigeons, to a lady residing at Tenby. The pigeons were taken to the lady's home and when liberated, one was noticed to fly away. On the evening of the same day Mr. Gwytber observed it in the farm yard-it could not have flown a less distance then 25 miles. THE NEW BRIDGE AND ROAD.-The bridge across Hub berstone Pill, to connect Milford and Hakin, is b,inm, proceeded with rapidly :as also the road from the bridge to Hubberstone When this undertaking is completed we may expect to see our market better supplied, and at a cheaper rate than hitherto. It will also be a boon, as a more convenient communication between the two shores of the Haven. DEATH BY DROWNING, On Sunday morning last, about twelve o'clock a child named John Jenkins, aged five years and two months, the son of Mrs. Harries, of Cuckoo Mill, was missed by its mother from the house. Search was immediately made, and the body was found in the stream below the mill quite dead. It was supposed that the poor child, when crossing a plank across the streamlet, which serves the purpose 01 a temporary bridge, fell into the water and was drowned. An inquest- was held on Monday evening last before John Stokes, Esq., the Coroner, when a verdict of Accidental Death wa returned. HAVERFORDWEST POLICE.-On the 27th inst. ati"-lthe County Gaol, before O. E. Davies, :Esq.. mayor, Martha Evans, spinster, was commuted for further examination charged with having unlawfully concealed the birth of of her male infant child. She was again to day in con- sequence of her state of health remanded for a week.—On the 29th inst. James Owen, of Little Haven. Thos. Thomas of Quay-street, and Geo. Evans, cf Dew-street labourers, were brought before the Mayor by the police charged Nsitli drunkenness in the public etreets on Saturday night last. They were admonished and discharged. SUDDEN DEATH. A mesmerist, named Peel, arrived in Haverfordwest, a day or two since for the purpose of de- livering a lectures. He took up his lodgings in Shut- street. and on Wednesday he induced two boys to visit him in order to practice experiments upon them. While endeavourieg to mesmerise one of them he felt himself growing ill, desisted from what he was engaged in and asked his landlay to get him some tea. She did so, and about an hour or two afterwards went again to his room, when she found him in a fit. From this state of unconsciousness it seems, he never, rallied, but expired on ThursdaJy evening. PURCHASE OF PROPERTY AT PEMBROKE-DOCK BY INA GOVERNMENT.—Mr. Lanning as agent to the Crown Solicitor, has been actively engaged lately in obtaining information as to the value of the property at Pembroke-dock, surround- ing West Llanion estuary, for the purpose of its being pur- chased by the Government. This includes what is called the Front-street—the iorthern side of iiing-stieet-aiid thence in a direct line eastward, cutting through half of Water- street, to the Gas worhs, and then in a northerly direction taking in tho Coal-yard, the Round-house Inn, the l'ier Hotel, and the whole of Llanion Terrace. This is a praise- worthy intention of the authorities, as the bay in question is so admirably adapted to the formation of an extensive and effective steam basin and the sooner the purchase is made the better, for every yeai, from the rapid increase of the town, the more expensive would it become to the public. HAVERFORDWEST.—CHURCH PASTORAL AID SOCIETY.— The annual sermons in aid of this excellent society were preached on Sunday in St. Mary's, and other churches bv the Rev. G. F. Kelly, a deputation from the Parent Institu- tion.—The collections shewed an increased desire on the part of the religious community of Haverfordwest to support the cause. A public meeting was held in the Town-hall on Monday evening, Mr. J. H. Phillips, M.P, who is an old friend to the society, presiding. After some excellent observations from Mr. George Phillips, surgeon, who sustains the office of treasuror to this and several kindred institutions, and the Rev. J. H. A. Phillips, M.A., of Picton Castle, the deputation delivered an address, in which he proved to demonstration, first, that there was a necessity for the society's original institution, secondly, that the society, by its principles, recommends itself to the members of the Established Church, and thirdly, that there was a necessity for its maintenance. The address was extremely well delivered by the introduction of a series of telling and interesting anecdotes. At the close of the deputation's speech a vote of thanks was moved to the Chairman by the Rev. James Thomas, and duly acknowledged by Mr. Phillips, after which the doxology was sung and the bene(lic- tion pronounced. We regret to say that the audience, owing probably to the exceedingly inclement weather, was not large. FATAL ACCIDENT.—On Monday, the 22nd ult., Mr. Owen Hanlan, a commercial traveller, nephew to Mr. McKivett, well known in this locality from the many years he has travelled in the linen trade, was driving tandum from Haverfordwest to Neyland with a heavy laden van, and near the latter place came in contact with a heap of broken stones placed near the centre of the road, by which the vehicle was upset falling upon the driver who sustained such severe injuries as to cause his death on the following Thursday morning. The accident was discovered by a female, who immediately conveyed the information to Mr. Connor, landlord of the Lawrenny Arms Hotel, who caused him to be promptly removed to his house, and sent for Mr Owen, surgeon, Pater, who was in speady attendance with his assistant, and rendered every assistance medical skill could devise. An inquest was held at the Lawreney Castle Hotel on Friday, and by adjournment until Monday betore Mr. Stokes, and a respectable jury, when evidence was ad- duced cocfirmatory of the facts stated, and" an unanimous verdict of manslaughter was returned against Mr. Devereux, District Road Surveyor, and Mr. George Gibby, contractor and witnesses were bound over to give evidence at the next spring Assizes.

CHARGK OF WOUNDING.—At Tenhy, before the Mayor, Capt. Wells, H. Saunders, Esq., and D. F. Dyster, Esq. A. Herbert, a girl Of nineteen, was brought up on remand, on a charge of stabbing William Griffiths* with a knife, on the night of November 15th. The prisoner was defended by Mr. James. The prosecutor stated that on the evening in question he and another young man were walking through the Gas House Lane, when they saw two women cross the road, and enter the Gas House. Shortly afterwards a woman (Same o'dt from the Gas House, and approached him. lie knew her to be the prisoner. He could not identify her a, one of the two whom he had ptevi0uslr een. He saw her draw back her arm and strike him, but he was not aware that he was stabbed The same action was repeated, and he then felt that he was wounded. He went to Mr. Walking- ton, chemist, who recommended him to apply to Dr. Sut'on. John Mathias, who was in company with Griffiths when the alleged assault was committed, confirmed his testimony. lie wa5 cress-examined very pointedly with reference to his former intimacy with the prisoner, but the essential points in his evidence were in no way impugned. Dr. Sutton was iie-,t examined. He was called, on the night in questi!)Tl, to see the prosecutor, whom he found with two woullds,-one in the fore and the other in the back part of the thigh. One was within half-an-inch of the femoral artery, and the loss of blood was very great. The prosecutor was getting on favorably, and might be considered out of danger; but unfavourable symptoms might arise. Superintendent Tho- mas was called, and stated that on the evening of the 15th of November he was informed by Griffiths that he had been stabbed by A. Herbert, and he proceeded to her father's resi- dence (the Gas House) and apprehended her. On informing her of file char hef of the charge, the prisoner's mother handed him a dinner knife, with which she 93id the assault had been com- mitted. [The knife was produced, and it seemed doubtful whether it was the weapon employed. It is an ordinary dinner knife, without a handle, and the wounds were in- flicted through a pilot coat, a waistcoat, the band of thick trousers, and the shirt ] The prisoner was committed for trial, but was held to bail on her own recognizances for X50, and in those of Mr. W. Noot, overseer of the poor, and of Mr. Thomas Thomas, mason, in each, the prosecutor and witnesses being bound over to appear at the tqegsionts.- Before the same magistrates, with the addition of Dr. Sutton and the Rev. Richard Buckby. Mr. James appeared against John Mathias, a witness in the former case, whom he charged with having written threatening letters to Major Richards, in connexion with the prisoner A. Herbert. After opening the case, however, Mr. James said that the prosecutor did not wish the felonious charge to be pressed, but only desired that the prisoner should be held to bail, to keep the peace towards him. Major Richards deposed that on one of the nights when he was in company with the girl Herbert, a pistol was fired in their neighbourhood. He produced sundry letters, which he believed the prisoner had written. The constable who had the prisoner in charge stated that the prisoner, in answer to questions put to him, admitted tha he recollected several disjointed passages in letters which were read to him. The proceeding, however, seemed so irregular and unsatisfactory that the evidence produced little effect on the Bench, who were of opinion that if there ex- isted sufficient proof to identify the prisoner with the letters, it was most improper that he should escape the punishment which the perpetrator of such a crime so richly deserved, by bdll merely bound over to keep the peace; if such proof did not exist, there was no ground for calling on the prisoner to find security. The prisoner was then discharged on his promising to answer any charge that might be preferred against him on the 8th instant. The prosecutor in the former case was carried into court and laid on a mattress, and appeared to be in a very exhausted state. The prisoner, young as she is, manifested neiiher remorse nor emotion of any kind.

I ANOTHER DREADFUL COLLIERY EXPLOSION.—FOUR LIVES LosT.On Saturday we received the intelligence of nnntherdreadful colliery explosion in South Wales, which district has of late obtained a most unenviable notoriety by the number of serious colliery accidents which have occurred therein, Md the large consequent sacrifice of life. The ex- plosion .ch we now detail took place in the Morfa Coliiery, ?aibaobi%ear Port Talbot, the property of Messrs. Vivian and Sons, in a level known as the" W fst Level Cribbor Veia" The four deceased men, named Aaron Charlton (a1{ød 3 with a wife and three children), David Hughes (married, with a small family), Isaac Griffith (aired 25, sin- gle), and William Williams (single), were working in the level when the explosion occurred, the whole of these men being killed; but the ventilation of the other parts of the colliery being in nowise deranged, the fire did not extend be- yond the immediate locality. The night overman, when going his rounds, first discovered the level to contain gas, and the dead bodies of the four men as described. With re- gard-to the cause of this dreadful explosion, there can it is feared, be no doubt that it arose entirely from the careless- ness of the man Charlton in removing the top of his safety- lamp. The lamps of the whole of the colliers are duly locked before given out, but after the explosion, that of Charlton and Griffith were found lying by their sides open, and in the pocket of Charltan a self-made key, with which the lamp had evidently been unlocked. Charlton is known as a most ex- perienced North-country collier, and it is certainly surprising how he, of all others, should have acted thus incautiously.— Standard.

One of those brutal and brutalising exhibitions, a prize fight, took place in Eirth on Sunday, which resulted in in the death of George Macdonald, one of the combatants. A lad named Samuel Asguith, employed as a skinner, and residing at Bermondsey, was brought up in custody at Woolwich police-court, charged with causing the death of Macdonald. The prisoner said they had been backed for X5 a side to figbt, and that about 60 persons had left by the first train to witnes* the combat; after fighting some rounds deceased had got his head under his (pri- soner's) arm, when they fell tv-gehter, and the fatal injuries were inflicted. Mr. Traill remanded the prisoner until the apprehension of the seconds and others concerned in the disgraceful affair. STANLEY AND RUSSELL UNITED. — The Illustrated London Times of Saturday last is responsible for the follow- ing. If it be anything more than a canard of the clubs it bodes no good to the cause of liberty. Our contemporary says. Apropos of marriage a wonderful rumour is current in some political circles to the effect that Lord Stanley is about to be married to the eldest daughter of Lord Johii Itussell If there be any truth in the rumour the fact will exercise undoubted influence on the state of political parties. An alliance between the great houses of Derby and Bedford, the staunchest Tories and the leading Whigs, would be a death-blow to the Palmerston interest, and the ,various factions into which the great Liberal party is plit.

I CARMARTHEN CORPORATION. I To the Editor of the Welshman. Sirt,-After a somewhat protracted and difficult incuba- tion the Executives of the Corporation Hen-roost of Car- marthen succeeded yesterday in giving vitality to a resolu- tion—passed some nine months ago-for the removal and impounding of a lot of Iron Castings, which for upwards of two years had formed a serious obstruction upon the Quay and for the working of the crane. Really, sir, this proof of returning health and vigour on the part of our well-paid borough officials is truly refreshing!! and we may now soon expect to hear that the public business of the town will receive that attention which it so urgently demands, and that the reign of procrastination will shortly be terminated. We may now hope that the meetings of our Town Counci will not only be soon resumed, but that they will be held more frequently at stated periods, not capriciously, for th dispatch of business and that the various committees whose names have such an imposing effect upon the annual official sheet, will soon bring up their respective reports for discussion, more particularly the Finance Committee, as the oppressed ratepayers are anxiously waiting to know how 8tals the Exchequer of the Treasurer and the details of the forthcoming Budget. 14 Nous verront."

Cross-examined: I keep game for Mr. Morgan, the com- blainant, as wt 11 as a public-house, but I only shoot rabbits for him at the request of the tenants. The 1st of October was on a Friday. I was with my master from 10 until 12 o'clock that day. He heard some persons firing, & directed me to see Whn they were. I saw the defendant and Mr. Puddicome on Danycerrig and Cerregbycban. I left my master near Cwmdyffrun Chapel, and went towards Danycerrig. I was On the hedge at Pentremawr. The field had rushes in it, but I am positive the trespassers were Mr Puddicombe and the defendant.-Mr. Puddicombe examined: I was on Dany- Cerrig on the 1st of October, and saw partridges rise from a ttubble field and fly towards the east. I did not know the boundary, but we followed the birds. I saw a man in one of the fields, & the defendant asked him the direction in which the birds had flown. He replied, Come with me, and I will show you." He told us where to find them. We followed them.

Smr WRECK.. —On the morning of Friday last the schooner Triumph," of Carnarvon, bound to Cardiff with a cargo of elates, struck on Pen Towyn sands, near Kidwelly. Not one of the crew was found on board. It appears that she had been seen riding in Rosilly Bay on the previous day, and tn consequence of a strong wind blowing from the S.E. she parted from her anchors and drifted to where she now lies. It is rumoured that the crew, when she began drifting, abandoned her and landed in Rosilly Bay. Through the prompt exertions of Mr. L. D. Thomas, Kidwelly, who snon arrived on the spot and used efficient means, the whole of her materials, &c., were saved on the first day.

CROSS INN.—On Sunday evening last, the service in the Independent Chapel was interrupted by several drunken men who had entered the chapel, and whom it became neces- sary to expel, after which the service was resumed.
