At a quarter past six o'clock on Monday evening the defendant came to my shop and asked for six pennyworth of eggs. I supplied him with them, and he gave me half-a-crown in payment. I looked at it, and thought it was a bad one. P.C. Thos. Evans was in the house, and I asked him what he thought of it. He said it was a bad one, and came into the shop and said to the prisoner, This is not a good half-crown, where did you get it from. He replied, From my master, for work." Evans asked him whe- ther he had any more of the same sort, and the prisoner said he had not. I left the half-crown with Evans, having previously marked it. That now produced by Evans is the one. P.C. Thomas Evans examined: At half-past six o'clock on Monday evening the last witness showed me half-a-crown, and asked me if it was a good one. The prisoner was present. I said it was bad. The prisoner told me that he had it with his master for working at Swansea, where he last worked. About half-an-hour previously I saw him in company with John Swift. They were walking up Lammas-street through the fair. I took the prisoner in charge, and retained the half-crown which I produce. It is light and bad. I searched the prisoner at Mrs. Jones's and in the police-station, but did not find any bad coin upon him. Sarah Adams examined: I am a widow, and live in Priory-street, where I keep a grocer's shop. On Monday morning between 10 and 11 o'clock the pri- soner came to my shop, and asked for half an ounce of tobacco. I had the tobacco in my hand ready for him when he put half-a-crown on the counter in payment. I rang it, and it sounded to my ear good. I said I would send for change, and for that purpose I went to the door and called William Williams, who was stand- ing on the other side of the street, and he brought me change. I gave him the half-crown which J received from the prisoner. In the evening Williams returned the half-crown which, he said, was not good, and that it was the same coin he had changed for me in the morning. I afterwards gave it to Seijeant Williams. William Williams examined: I am clerk to Mr. James Morgan, whose office is opposite the shop of the last witness. On Monday morning I gave her change for half-a-crown. I afterwards returned it to her. I had it in my own possession from the time Mrs. Adams gave it to me until I returned it to her in the evening. I saw Swift with the prisoner in Priory-street before I was asked for change. He put something into the prisoner's jj hand. Cross-examined by the prisoner: When I re- ceived the half-crown from Mrs. Adams I put in the drawer. There was some money in the drawer, but no half-crown. Serjeant Williams produced the half- crown given him by Mrs. Adams, which he said was a bad one. He also said that the prisoner was in company with Swift during the day, and believing them to be suspicious characters he had kept his eye upon them. Mr. W., A. Davies, watchmaker and jeweller, Guildhall- square, proved that the two half-crowns produced were counterfeit. The prisoner was committed for trial.— John Slcift was then charged with uttering counterfeit coin. P.S. David Williams examined On Monday, at five o'clock in the evening, I saw the prisoner in com- pany with Thomas Smith, who has been committed for trial. They were together for some time.

An itinerant clock-cleaner lodged at the house, who, with a female, also an inmate, under- took to expel the effect of the witch from the cream, a part of which was put, into a vessel) and ail iron heater put into the firej which when red hot was dipped in the cream in the vessel, and what remained when the heater was taken out was besmeared on several parts of the female's person, who personated the witch.

ABERYSTWITH HARBOUR MEETING.—-An EtdjoUrrted meeting of the Trustees of the Harbour was held at the Town-hall on Tuesday last. Present-G. W. Parry, Esq., in the chair Messrs. Thos. Jones, T. O. Morgan) J. Davies, J. Downie, R. F. Roberts, John Parry, Richard Roberts, Griffith Thomas and Richard Morris. The subject of the use of the tramroad exclusively by the trustees, and the inconvenience which would result to Mrs. Davies and her tenants in consequence, was again brought under consideration, and the trustees agreed to subscribe £20 towards repairing Llanychaiarn bridge for the accommodation of THE tenants of Mrs. Davids. The Chairman read a letter from the Directors of the National Provincial Bank of England, agreeing to advance a sum of Xlloo upon mortgage of the dues or upon a promissory note, payable three days after date, the trustees making thems?lves personally liable. Mr Downie, the treasurer, in answer to a question, pre- sumed that the rate of interest would be guided by the state of the money-market. The trustees decided to issue debentures rather than make themselves person- ally responsible. The chairman having expressed his readiness to subscribe 1200 on a debenture, the example was followed by many of the trustees present,, and 11000 was then subscribed towards the improvements projected, and a committee, consisting of Messrs. G. W. Parry, T. O. Morgan, John Parry, T. Jones, F. R. Roberts, and John Davies, was appointed to wait on the inhabitants of the town and district to request their assistance. The proceedings then terminated. TREGARON.—The petty sessions adjourned from the 27th ult. were held on Tuesday last at the Talbot Inn, before J. E. Rogers, Esq., Abcrmeung, and the Rev. J. Hughes. Overseers of the poor and highway sur- veyors for the several panshes. and townships of the district of Penarth were appointed, and Parish con- stables were nominated to attend at the next petty- sessions to be sworn in.-William Thomas, assistant- overseer of the parish of Caronisclawdd, charged John Walters, of Argoedfach, with nonpayment of lIs. 1d. poor-rates. The complainant stated that the defendant was three years and a-half in arrears of poor-rates for a cottage situate in the town of Tregaron, and he should have taken steps for the payment of the rate previously, but he was not directed to do so by the vestry. The defendant said he owned premises at Tregaron called the Crown and Anchor, and for years he had paid rates for it with an old blacksmith s forge at the end of it, which he had now converted into a dwelling-house, which some "busybody" in the parish had assessed to the amount of t2 10s. per annum, which he contended was not right, as it was nothing but adding the building. He also referred to several houses in the town which had been lately rebuilt and extended, but stoed at the same amount on the assessment as for years past. He also produced the summons, which was informally made out in his name, whilst Elizabeth J ones, the tenant of the dwelling in question, was assessed in the book. The bench dismissed the case.-The same complainant summoned Daniel Evans, of Cwmnant, Caronisclawdd with nonpayment of 14s. lOd. poor-rates. The do- fendant appeared and said he had paid the complainant several items on account of the sum now claimed, but he did not take receipts, as the complainant never gave him any, but always came to him with an account book and put it down in pencil, and never brought the assess- ment with him. The bench adjourned the case until the 24th inst. This was all the business of public interest. ABERYSTwrm. THK INFIRMARY.—A general meet- ing of the governors and subscribers of this Institution was held on Wednesday last at the Infirmarv, when there were present—Thomas Jones, Esq., in the chair. Messrs. John Roberts, jun., Joel Evans, John Rees, T. W. Wells, F. R. Roberts, and Griffith Thomas, with the medical omcers Mr. Griffiths and Mr. James. The treasurer's accounts for the year ending 31st December last, were examined and passed by which it appeared that there was a balance of 7C81 2s. 7 jd in hand at the commencement of the year. Subscriptions subsequently received, X99 19s; donations, £ 7 10s; collection in St. Michael's church, t I I 7s collection at the Tabernacle chapel, £ 3 16s. 8d at the 13aptist cliapel, X2; at Penl- lwyn chapel, Cl 2s; from poor-bax at Infirmary, £2 10s. 2d; from box at Belle Vue. El 10s. 7lid; pro- ceeds of a ball at Aberystwith, £ 15 9s interest- on bal- ance in hand, 14s. lid"; making a total of £ 227 2s the disbursements amounting to £ 187 16s. 10d, shewed the inadequate balance of £ 39 5s. 11 d; only in hand to meet the current expenses. The continued diminution of the resources of the Institution is a subject of much regret to its friends, as its value and efficiency is thereby very much limited. During the last year alone, the physicians gave upwards of 2000 prescriptions, and many applicants were reluctantly refused admittance to the house from want of funds. The number of appli- cants is progressively increasing. Crynfyn House has been taken, which will afford increased facilities for the objects of the Institution, being more healthy, com- modious and convenient, but the increased rent and expenses will demand additional resources, and taking all these circumstances into consideration, the meeting determined to urge increased efforts especially by apply- ing to the ministers of all denominations in the town and district to lay the claims of such an excellent Institution before their respective congregations, and to collect subscriptions. The meeting had the gratifying duty of acknowledging a further sum of £10 from Mrs. Major Lewis, oft Llanayron. For this and many former liberal donations, the Institution is deeply indebted to that lady. It is hoped that her example will be followed. The thanks of the meeting were given to the medical officers for their gratuitous, skilful, zealous, and generous services to the Institution. It was a subject of deep regret, that the Institution j, di-p.-ivcd of the valu- able services of D. Bell, who for some time has been suffering from severe illness. His speedy recovery is earnestly desired. THE ABERATRON LITERARY C^OFTIRNTIVT MEETING. A meeting was held in the Town Hall on Monday evening last. The chair was taken by the Rev. 11.

ABERYSTWITH COMMISSIONERS' MEETING..—On Tues- day an adjourned meeting of the Connrtlssioneis held at the Town-hall. Present—Messrs. (Jenkins in the chair); Thos. Cleaton, Richard Morris, B. Hughes, Charley Hackney, and Jacob Leon. Several bills were ordered td lie Ihlid; and Wm. Rice applied for £ 30 on account of his contract for constructing tile n»jw drainage, which was granted. It was agreed that at the next meeting the propriety of making a public drain in the tipper end of Prospect-stroot bo considered. Sweeny, the collector, applied for permission to order a sufficient number of printed forms for the improve- ment.receipts, which was granted. It was stated that he might insert the rate to be at is. 6d. iii the ptitmd. The question of the water supply was then brought forward, and Mr. Green was called upon to furnish his estimate. The probable expense of conducting to and supplying the town with the requisite supply and of forcing the same 60 feet high to the reservoir from the springs near Llanbadarn included, a cylinder of wrought iron at the spring, so as to raise the water from 8 to 10 feet, niakirtg; flxirtg, and piling cylinder pipes of 4 inches bore, distance, 1324 yards, excavating a pool, cementing same and building a wall round it of 45 feet and 6 feet high, steam engine, and a double acting force pump, connecting pipes, &-c., in all amount- ing to C1008. Mr. Green compared the relative merits of this and the Llanychaiarn scheme. the cost of the latter was estimated at £ 2000 interest at five per cent. would be £100 per annum. From the description of the proposed plant there would also be a depreciation of ? per cent, per annum, amounting to a farther sum of £ 80, which, including the cost of keeping the same in repair, would incur an annual outlay of £ 210. The plan at present proposed would only require half the other capital, viz., £1000 depreciation, interest, &c., he valued at jElOo total annual outlay £ 126, including two months attending to the steam engine, effecting a saving of .£84 per annum in the current expenses alone without speaking of the capital. At Llanychaiarn, the quantity of water was limited, and there was no other source in the event of scarcity, from whence a fresh supply could be obtained; but, if the supply from the springs at Llanbadarn were found insufficient, by extending the works further, an unlimited quantity could be secured. Mr. Green also said that the engine of Mr. Thomas Jones, or the one at the Cambrian Foundry, would answer the purpose, if the commissioners could borrow either of them. After discussing these plans and esti- mates, Mr. B- Hughes proposed that before anv plan was adopted it was necessary that they should have the water analyzed, for after keeping it for 24 hours lie found that it had a very strong taste. It was generally agreed that the subject was far too important to do anything without absolute certainty that the water was good, and it was therefore adjourned until the water shall be properly analyzed. There was no other business. THE LATE BURGLARY NEAR LAMPETER. -It will be recollected that on the night of the 28th ult., or early on the following morning, the dwelling house and shop of Mr. John Evans, shopkeeper, Llanfair Bridge, was feloniously broken into and a large amount of property stolen, and that the hurglars were captured and com- mitted for trial at the next assizes for the county of Cardigan. The quantity of shop goods carried ofr' by the burglars at the time was not fully ascertained till the lith inst-, 'when six pieces of cloth of considerable value were found hidden under a pile of stones in a field at Bwlchblaenearn, L lancrwys. Mr. Evans ap- prised P.S. Lyons of the discovery, and he went to the place indicated and took possession of the goods, which were identified by the prosecutor as forming part of the proceeds of the burglary. Great credit is due to Mr. Daniel Morgans, of Bwlchblaenearn, who found the cloth, for the manner in which he has acted. The pri- soners, llcnry Williams and John Stewart, were seen heavily laden at an early hour on the 29th ult. near the stones where the cloth was found, and it appears that they hid the property in question with the intention of returning again. The prisoners are daring Jooking fellows-one a native of Bristol, and the other of Liverpool, and doubtless intended to carry on an ex- tensive business by robbery in the principality.

UNITED PRAYER MEETING AT HAVERFORDWEST.—The last of the Lnited-Prayer Meetings for the season, was held in the Shire-hall, on Monday evening, and like those which preceded, was attended by a large and de- vout audience. The Rev. Thomas Burditt, Baptist Minister, presided, and the following ministers took pan in the services the Hevds. Lang, j. II. A. Philipps. F. Brigstocke, (Hubberston), James Thomas. Theodore Hook, and H. C. Chandler. The Kev.

AI<H,N(' AND PRAYING.—The late Rev. David Adams went, at one time, to Milfbrd to preach, and stop- ped at the house of a Miss M-. a friend of his. The day was cold, and when he arrived at night he was cold and tired so he proposed to have prayers at once, and then after supper he could retire. The supper was to consist of what he was very fond of—Indian cake. hicl was baked 011 platters set up in front of the fire. 1he famlly were called together, Mr. Adams seat being directly opposite the kitchen door and fire. The service eommenced, but Mr. Adams soon perceived that one of the cakes had fallen down and was burning. Stopping in his proyer, he said to the lady Miss M—, we arc told to watch as well as pray, and I see that one of the cakes is burning. I will that you to soe it."

The story, although tf 11W \hf^tr'<nts otv\ is briefly told. A large number of llrtttus Tfd4 let down at t11" usual time, and were pursuing thcKf rtt*t<mtstry wor1, j in the mine, when, at a point at which .sHVrJfl oi them were engaged in cutting coal, none of them dreaming of the danger by which they were sin rourifictC of tlii, roof gave way with sudden crash, and the jWCT •Ttwtitt'e# were thrown dow.i ) by the heavy masses of stone wili(,,Ii foil upon them all half buried them amidst the earth and fll1-tli>h.

One poor fellow was 1-1 out dead, having been crnpbed by masses of the debris another had been so mortally injured that he died some little time afterwards; a third had both of his legs torn by the fall, and the injuries of others were of a severe character. The precise circumstances which led to tbe*iall have not yet been ascertained, but so far as has been stilted* no reason had appeared for suspect- ing any accident of the kind. The shocking occurrence has, as may be supposed, cast quite ft glocun over the place.

I,L.sOYER.At the Court of Queen's Bencfh on Monday, bcloic tbe Lord Chief Justice. Mr. Justice Crompton, Mr. Justice Hill, &- ift., Bltckl)w-li.- Mr. Edwin James, Q.C., said he had to niote: fcY p rule calling upon the plaintiff to show cause why art made by Mr. Justice Crompton should not be rescinded. The action triz one ff libel, brought by a Mr. Stone, a gentleman residing in the c'diftfty of ]\^oninouth, against Lord Llanover, for a letter sent by his JofvMiip, to his son-in-law, Mr. John Harbcek, and in which, it AVSS alleged, the character of Mr. Stone was aspersed. The letter was written on the occasion of Mr. Stone settling in the country, and although it was marked private dnd confidential* and to be returned," yet a copy having having been obtained of it. it was shown by a gentleman to Mr. Stone. Under these circumstance's the action was brought against Lord Llanover, and tht ëäst] was set down for trial, when an application was made fof tht' letter. Now, the letter was not wanted for the purposes of pleading, because in the plaintiff's declaration what purported to be an exact copy of it was set out. But the matter having been referred to Mr. Justice Cromp- ton at chambers, his letidship made an order, under the 50th section of the Common taw Procedure Act of 1854, the 17th and 18th Viet., cap. 125, that within three i days the defendant should state, whether the letter in question was in his possession or power; or what he knew as to its custody and whether he objected—and if so, upon what grounds—"to its production, if it were in his possession. Now, he contended that such an order was altogether in excess of the powers confcfrsd by the act, and as the defendant was threatened with an attachment in case he did not comply with it, the present application to rescind the order was rendered nccessary. It surely could not be contended that in a matter where a defendant might bè rendered criminally liable he ought to be called upon to make the admission here required. Mr. Justice Crompton said his notion at the time was that a party could not be called upon to ¡ make a discovery in a matter where he might be rendered criminally responsible, .but then the time for arguing that objection had not come. The proper time would be, when the defendant was called upon to pro- duce the letter. Mr. James would state at once Lord Llanover had not the slightest objection to produce the letter, but he did not want it to go nakedly before the jury and without all the accompanying circumstances. The letter was altogether of a confidential character. and it was intended to be returned to Lord Llanover after it had been perused. The Lord Chief Justice.- If the communication was of a privileged character, that undoubtedly will be a good defence to the action but if not, it will avail you little, Mr. James, that it was intended to be returned. If the marking of a letter "private and confidential and to be returned," render attacks upon the characters of others safie, no man would be safe. Mr. Justice Hill.-The order does not require the production of the letter, and why, therefore, not answer it by affidavit in its own terms, and stating that, the defendant objects to produce the letter, inasmuch as it would make him criminally responsible. Rule refused.

Although the demand was by [ no means active, Monday's improvement in the quota- tions was well supported. Although over 10,000 quar- trrs of wheat have come in from abroad, importers gen- erally were very firm. In prices, however, no change took place. Floating cargoes of grain ruled steady. Barley, the supply of which was moderate, command- ed extreme rates, with steady inquiry. There was a very little doing in malt. Prices, how- ever, were supported. The oat trade is in a healthy state, but no advance took place in the quotations.

LLAXDILO STREETS.
LLAXDILO STREETS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE WELSHMAN. Sir,—With the hope of preventing accidents. I am induced to ask you the favour ot inserting the following observations in your next impression of the I Vetehmatt. Then to begin, the fact is. that when once the shades of evening envelope the town of Llandilo. it is almost impracticable either to ride or drive through the streets, simply because crowds of idlers are allowed to congre- gate and amúsc themselves in the public streets,—just as if they were on a common, and that fifty miles from the nearest policeman. Even during the day it is quite a common thing to sec cricketing going on in the prin- cipal street, with large stones erected for wickets and I have noticed that late-lv a kind of band (composed chieflv of children) is allowed to promenade the streets, which cannot fail to frighten every horse within hearing, even if the horse liked music. These bands, &c" 80 com- pietdj- block up til" road that it is almost impossible to pass; and every equestrian or pedestrian who is com- pelled to elbow lliq way through th, erlJwd is assailed with all sorts of insulting remarks. Of a sabbath own- ing, on going to and returning from places of worship, the ge/OUC in Rhosmaen-street and irallwm is really disgraceful for Christian people to witness. Now, Sir, you nitfrft recollect that all this is going on in a small town, where t.iurrc are at least two policemen always stationed. Where those gentlemen keep them- selves is a mystery at all events, they are never to be seen, unless the streets arc perfectly quiet. I write this with the hope that it may be aeen by some one in authority, who may adopt means to put a stop to an evil which is growing daily more formidable, and with the firm belief that unless such steps are taken we shall very soon read an account in the W'clxh- man of some person or persons being maimed, either by being ridden or driven over. Perhaps I may he allowed to suggest that the police force stationed at Llandilo be instructed to prevent, at. least, all games being played in the streets of the town. Apologizing for occupying so much of your valuable space, I remain, Sir, your's, &c., AGRICOI.A.

THE NATIONAL RIFLF. ASSOCIATION. The council of the National Rifle Association having resolved that the chief prize and the jgold medal of the association shall be shot for by the volunteers at the National Itifle i Association meeting in July next, with a small bore rifle, at ranges of 800, 900. and 1000 yards, are anxious that the competitors should contend as far as possible on equal terms. This can only he effected by confining them to one description of arm, hut, before deciding upon it, the council invite the gunmakers of the United Kingdom to a competition with rifles of a minimum here of 451, and of a maximum weight of BUh., the pull of the trigger not, bein" les than :11h. This competition will take place at Hythe, on the 1st of May. The rifle that gives the best, I figurc will then be selected subject to the condition of the manufacturer, undertaking to supply the required, number of 40 within two months of that date, and of their being equal in quality to the one chosen.
