PEMBKOIvESHIllE. I T PWrOBl. Sir Thomas Lloyd has appointed Mr John Williams, chemist and druggist, Mayor of New- port for the ensuing year. ° PEMBROKE.—MICHAELMAS FAIR. -This fair was held on Monday, and was supposed to have been the largest ever remembered in the town. This may be attributed to the fagUifos offered by the Teaby and Pembroke Railway Company. Arrangements were made to convey people from the stations at Tenby, Penally, Manorbier, and Lamphey, also from Pembroke-Dock, at reduced fares; no doubt the plan was beneficial to both parties. This is the annual hiring or mop fair, and it is calculated that there were upwards of 14,000 people in the town, notwithstanding which, all passed off very peaceably. Little or no business was done in the cattle fair, the show not being first-rate but pigs met a ready sale, at advanced prices. RIFLE Coitp.,i.-After the inspection at Haverfordwest on the 5th inst., Lieut. Roch entertained his Company (the 3rd Pembrokeshire) to a sumptuous dinner at the Lion Hotel, Pembroke, when full justice was done to the "'ood things provided for the occasion by Mr and Mrs Jones. After removal of the cloth, loyal and patriotic toasts were duly observed after which, song and senti- ment prevailed during the evening. FORTIFICATIONS AT MILFORD.—It is expected that important and extensive works will shortly be com- menced at the Stack, Milford, in order to render that rock a valuable addition to the Pembrokeshire coast. From the commanding position of the Stack, a better site for a fort could not be selected. RF-T AUDIT. The rent audit of Lord Cawdor's tenantry, on the Stackpole estate, was held at the Golden Lion Hotel, Pembroke, on Wednesday the 12th inst. At 4 o'clock the tenants sat down to a sumptuous dinner, T. T. Mousley, Esq., presiding, and Mr Trotter, farm bailiff, occuping the vice-chair. The Queen's health, and that of the Prince and Princess of Wales were drank with enthusiasm. After which Mr Mousley proposed the health of the Earl of Cawdor, and Lord Emlyn, which were vociferously responded to by all T?f-sent. Mr Mouiley then proposed the tenantry, wishing them every prosperity, coupling with the toast Mr Rees, of Valley's Hill, he being the oldest tenant on the estate. Mr Rees very feelingly acknowledged the compliment paid him, and said that he had been con- nected with the Stackpole estate for upwards of half-a- cury, and would gladly live the time over again, if permitted. Other toasts followed in succession, including that of the trade of the borough; coupling with it the name of the Mayor. Mr Hawkins in returning thanks observed that he like many other of his fellow tradesmen in the town, were indebted to the agriculture of the locality for any degiee of success which may have attended their business, and it had always afforded him a considerable amount of pleasure in witnessing their pros- perity. MATHRY.—OCTOBER FAIRS.—These autumnal cattle and hiring fairs were held on Monday and Tuesday. A tolerable business was transacted on Monday, and the cattle sold realized good prices. The hiring fair was the scene of immense delight to the holiday seekers of the district, for it has long been Jcelebrated as afford- ing an almost unlimited fund of entertainment and amusement. The booths for refreshments were largely patronized. H A V E R FOR D W EST.-SERIOUS ACCIDENT.— On Saturday afternoon a sad accident happened to Elizabeth Harries, of Folkestone. It appears that the poor woman was returning from market, in a one horse cart belonging to a Mr Lewis, in company with other women, and when near the top of Barn-street, the wheel of the cart came into contact with a large stone which protects the lamp post. The horse was going at a brisk trot, so that the violence of the collision upset the cart, throwing the oocupants to the ground with great force. Some of the women escaped with little hurt, but Mrs Harries sustained severe injuries about the back part of the head. She was removed to the Infirmary, and although the injuries she received are of a very serious nature, the medical men are not with- out hopes of her ultimate recovery. LARCENY.—At the Petty Sessions, on Saturday, before O. E. Davies, Esq J. P. Jones, Esq., and the Rev. P. Phelps. —Maria Ladd, aged 16, an agricultural servant, was charged with stealing X8, the property of her mis- tress, Mrs Grace Devereux, of Rhos well, in the parish of Radbaxton.-P C. Benjamin Eynon, No. 11, deposed I apprehended the prisoner, and charged her with steal- ing £ 8, from Rhoswell, the property of her mistress. I cautioned her, telling her that what she told me would be taken down and given in evidence against her. She told me she had nothing more to say to me than she had said to her mistress that she did take the X8 out of a purse in a cupboard in the house. The cupboard was open. She told me that she had disposed of the money to certain parties close by.—The prisoner admit- ted that she took the money, and stated that she gave £1 to Thomas Richards, junior, of the Boot and Shoe Y,3 to Patty, his sister, and E4 to her husband, William Morgan. They had asked her where her mistress's money was kept, and wanted her to take it. Richards asked her to go off to Swansea with him, & to search for the place where the money was kppt, telling her to look in her mistress's pocket under the pillow. Ho said he would bear the fault of it, as he did oa a former ocoasion when £10 were stolen. He told her that if she took -66, and gave the money to him, he would return a X5 note, which turned out to be an old license paper She could not read, and could not tell what it was. He did not give her anything, but asked her twice to go awav with him. Richards lives at the Boot and Shoe, in the parish of Rudbaxton, close by Crundale -The prosecu- trix, in answer to a question from the Bench, said she believed prisoner had told the truth. She had taken the prisoner when she was only fourteen years of age. She had behaved herself very badly, but she did not wish her to be severely punished, as she knew she had been induced to commit the robbery.—The Bench ordered her to be imprisoned for two months with hard labour. TENBY.—SEA FISHERIES COMMISSION.—On Friday last a public inquiry took place in the Town Hall, Tenby, pursuant to a notice issued by the Secretary to this Commission. The Chairman opened the proceed- ings bv stating the objects of the Commission, and asking the fishermen present to come forward and gave evidence. Alr Oifford, a fish salesman of upwards of twenty years' standing, was of opinion that the cod and oyster fisheries had gradually declined, but that the supply of soles, turbot, brill, plaice, haddock, mullet, and doree was as good now as formerly. The average wholesale price of soles had been 3d. per lb, of turbot, 5s. each for large fish, smaller ones 6d. per lb; oysters, small Is., and large 2s. 6d. per 120. Tenby exports far more fish than any other station in the Bristol Channel, Mr Parrott, coast-guard officer, said that there are now thirteen decked trawlers belonging to Tenbv and about eighteen from Brixbam, who remain here during the summer months only. He ?° ,?t,t the oysteI fishery had declined. He could ,?'whether the trawlers used a proper mesh or not .I)h sa)W'lS no restriction as to the length of the beam. ere" I d h d p, m-, Aer Claxton, a trawler, who had had fifty-five years' f?nerieneo, said that thirty years ago there was only one fishing vessel belonging to Tenby. The ^rounds over which the Tenby vessels fish, extended trom St Govan's Head, westward, to the Worm's Head, eastward to mid-way between Caldy and Lundy islands southwards- June and July were the best months for d,iniu in deep water. No one sees to the size of the uiesh every ene doe," as he likes. At Brixham the mesh was gradually getting smaller. Formerly the small fish were thrown overboard as they were value- less but now all are sold. Trawling was introduced at Tenby by the Brixham vessels. The length of beam is from 28 to 40 feet.—J. Nowell, a Brixam trawler, but who had lived at Tenby for the last twenty years, corro- oorated the evidence of the last witness. He considered cue lish now as plentiful as formerly. When there is a storm from the S,W. no fish can be taken. D. Williams a seine and oyster fisher of twenty years' ex- perience stated that the mackarel and herring fishery was uncertain; in some years there was an abundance of the former, but never many of the latter. Oysters are not so plenum as formerly, nor are the boats so long engaged in dredging, as they leave for the cod fishing, which he considered not so good as formerly. They could not fbh in the bay owing to the trawlers, but there was more fish on the outside, in the rough ground. At Tenby there are s-ix or seven seine nets, of an a vera "e value of £20 each, but no trammel nets. WueltM are plentiful, & are used for bait for the codtish. G Cadwallader, cod and oyster fisher, agreed in most particulars with the former witness. He said that shrimps were plentiful, and that the Caldy bed oysters are the fattest and best flavoured, while those from off Stackpole were lean and inferior. Oysters are not so plentiful as formerly, as no pains are now taken to stock the beds. There are about twenty boats engaged in the oyster fishery. William Sm.th, line and codfisher, considered the best ground for line fishing to be the rough ground outside the bay, of which there was a sufficient extent for all, but the small boats could not risk going to it. Cod are scarcer than formerly; haddock never were plentiful.—The inquiry was then C.osed. REGISTRATION COURT. The revision of the voters of this district took place at the Town Hall, Tenby, last Saturday. The overseers of the parishes in this district were all in the Town Hall at the appointed time, half-past eleven, to meet the Revising Barrister, who did not make his appearance until half-past twelve. Now, as the Revising Barrister last year threatened to fine an Overseer five pounds for not being there at the proper time, and said that he refused to take any excuse, say- ing that Overseers had no right to depend upon any train or conveyance, but should take care to have ample margin to be in time, when he entered the court the following ensued:- One of the Tenby Overseers politely called his attention to the fact of his being an hour late, Revising Barrister— You should make your railway trains punctual, Sir. Who are you, Sir ? Oversecr-I am one of the Overseers of St. Mary, Tenby. Revising Barrister—Sit down, Sir; I cover heard such impertinence in my life. Your parish shall be taken last. Overseer-T have yet to learn that reminding a public functionary that he is late can be construed as imperti- nence. As to our parish being taken last, as ':18 are the letter T," and taken alphabetically, it will not matter. Revising Barrister-l am sorry for it; I wish I could PUUiih you more. The proceedings were then gone on with, without anything worthy of notice, until Mr Webster's vote. Mr Webster, who had been objected to, had come down from London to defend his vote. The vote having been found good, he applied for his expenses, which the Revising Barrister declined to allow, when Mr Webster said—Allow me most respectfully to say, Sir, that I differ from your ruling, and that I shall carry the matter elsewhere. Revising Barrister-Upon my word, the very air of Tenby seems productive of impertinence. Mr Webster—I will perfectly agree with you. Al- low me to state, Sir, that, as a member of your own profession Revising Barrister (interrupting) -Then, Sir, if you are a member of the same profession as myself, I wonder you have not learnt good manners. Your case is decided, Sir; you may retire and amend your manners. Mr Webster—I shall certainly not come to your court for instruction. The final scene was caused by Mr Norris, the Over- seer for the Out-Liberty of St. Mary, Tenby, asking how much longer he would have to wait. Mr Norris-Really, Sir-and I say it with all possible respect—Overseers are treated at the Court with perfect contempt. Revising Barrister—What is you name, Sir ? Mr Norris—Richard Norris. Revising Barrister-Do you spell your name with an M" or an N" ? Mr Norris—There are the papers which I have signed several times over which I have just handed to you. Revising Barrister-Your handwriting is so ille- gible that I cannot make it out. Is your name Morris or Norris ? Mr Norris—I told you before. Revising Barrister-Caa you read P Mr Norris gave no answer. Revising Barrister-I have a great mind to fine you. Mr Norris took out a roll of notes, and was about selecting one to hand up to the Barrister, who said,- I'll not fine you now, Sir, solely because it would give more trouble to other persons than yourself," and here the scene closed.— Tenby Observer. ,v,

) BRECONSHIRE. BRECON AND MERTHYR RAILWAY.—There is a rumour current to the effect that the Taff Vale will petition the House, next session, for power to bring the Brecon line down on the east side of the town into their own sta- tion, not on the west side, and from Cefn, as originally projected. BRECON.—BOROUGH PETTY SESSIOI,-S. -These ses- sions were held on Monday, before J. Williams, Esq., mayor. Robert Burns, charged with being drunk and incapable, was ordered to pay the expenses. COUNTY PETTY SEssloxs.-These sessions were held on Saturday, before W. de Winton, Esq. George Bevann, alias Vivian, a farm servant, in the employment of Mr Downes, Maesmawr, near Talybont, was sum- moned for stealing a quantity of apples from the orchard of Mrs Ann Dixon.—Prosecutrix did not appear, but the accused was represented by his master, who informed the bench that Mrs Dixon had forgiven the delinquent since the issue of the summons.—The Bench looked upon the conduct of Mrs Dixon as unbecoming to the magis- trates, but allowed, however, the case to be settled in the manner specified-William Davies, farm servant, Greenway, near Brecon, was summoned for riding on his master's waggon without reins.—Defendant, who admitted the offence, was fined 7s 6d including ex- penses. THE VOLUNTEERS.—On Sunday the members of the volunteer corps attended divine service at Christ College Church. They were accompanied by their band, which is under the direction of Mr Bell, and their chaplain, the Rev. J. D. Williams, head master of the college, preached to them an impressive sermon from the 1st chapter of St. James, and the 12th verse, We were glad to see the members muster so strong." THE BOUGHROOD CHARITY.—This charity apprentices boys to good masters, and ais dispensed by the Mayor and aldermen. Four vacancies having been occasioned, the mayor, alderman Col. Lloyd Watkins, M.P., and alderman Thomas, proceeded on Monday to fill up those vacancies. There were twenty-one applicants, and the fodowing were elected :-Thomas Tustian, High-street, to be apprenticed to Mr W. Evans, grocer, Bridge End William Davies, St. David, to Mess's. Williams and Sons, builders; William Chambers, Mount Pleasant, to Thomas Hargest, mason; rnd James Matthews, Lion- yard, to Morgan Jones, cabinet-maker, Lion-street. CRICHOWELL.-PETTY SESSIO.NS. -These sessions were held on Friday. Elizabeth Sharrick, a tramp, was charged with stealing a quilt, the property of Richard Regan, lodging-house keeper. It seems that the accused slept in the prosecutor's house prior to the discovery of the robbery.-P.O. Richards traced the prisoner from Gilwen to Pontypool, where he apprehended her and charged her with the offence, which she denied—The accused was discharged. MLITARY FUNERAL.—On Monday tbe remains ofPri- vate George Barton, a young man, and member of the 3rd Breconshire Volunteers, were interred in the parish church yard with military honours. The Dead March in Saul," was played by the band to the precincts of the church, and three volleys were effectively fired over the grave. Col.-Sergt. Ward commanded the firing party, and the officers in attendance were-Sir Joseph Bailey, lieutenant, and Major Gwynne. The burial service was impressively performed by the Rev. John Howells, chaplain to the corps. THE LITERARY INSTITUTION.—A meeting of the sub- scribers of this institution took place on Friday evening, the object of it being the appointment of a managing committee, a secretary, and a librarian, for the ensuing year. The Rev. J. Evans, B.D., rector, presided. Capt. Kerr, and Messrs. Parry (surgeon), Eldred, Price, and Christopher, were elected as the managing committee, Mr Bearis, as secretary, and Mr Bishop as librarian. In the course of the proceedings, Mr Eldred, one of the late secretaries, stated that after all the bills were paid there would be about X3 in hand, and Capt. Kerr urged the necessity of an efficient code of regulations being drawn up, observing that he thought the arrangements during the past year had been such as to warrant an effort in the way of improvement, for the number of subscribers since the establishment of the society had decreased from 48 to 25. A vote of thanks was accorded to Mr Eldred for the interest he had taken in the institution, and upon the proposit on of Mr Stevens, manager at the National and Provincial Bank, a vote of thanks was also given to the Rev. J. Ivans, for presiding over the meeting, which terminated upon its having been agreed to hold a com- mittee meeting on the following Tuesday, when new rules for the {regulation of the institution, which was adverted to as one of much utility, will be devised. GLASBURY.—VOLUNTEER INSPECTION.—The Tal- garth volunteers were officially inspected at the Three Cocks, near Glasbury, by Sir Edward Campbell. The respective corps mustered in good numbers, the Brecon corps, who was under the command of Capt Williams, numbering 78. At the close of the inspection, the com- manding officer complimented the corps upon the efficient manner in which they went through the day's evolutions, remarking that in inspecting the various divisions of volunteers in the county, he had seen none to excel in efficiency, the Crickhowell corps. After the inspection, and in answer to the generous invitation of Captain Williams, the Brecon corps repaired to the Three Cocks Inn, where they sat down to a dinner well served up by Mr Perry, the landlord. The repast over, the consti- tutional toasts were given, and were succeeded by those of a personal and complimentary character, including the health of Capt. Williams, who replied to the com- pliment in a hearty speech. The entire proceedings in connection with the event passed off very satisfactorily.

CAPTAIN SEMMES AGAIN AFLOAT-—Th & Morning Herald which is likely to be well informed regarding Confeder- ate movements in this country, states that Captain Semmes sailed from the Mersey on Sunday last on board the barque Laurel, under the command of Captain J. F. Ramsay. The destination of the Laurel," adds the Herald, is rather at present, mysterious, but so far as the Customs' bill of entry shows, the vessel has cer- tainly cleared for ports where Confederaiive proclivites predominate, viz., Nassau, Havaanah, and Matamoras. She is merely a tender, and carries out to a certain lati- tude guns and ammution for a new screw steamer, of which Captain Semmes is to take command. This vessel is supposed to be a new screw-steamer which was lying at Medelra on the 3rd instant, and was there known under the name of the Ranger. The Ranger is large and very swift, and will, no doubt, should she actually prove to turn out to be the new cruiser, prove a tough antagonist to any Federal war vessel. To show that Captain Semmes does not go unattended, wo may here state that he took with him on board the Laurel eight officers and one hundred men, most of whom served with him on board the Alabama. We have reason to know that Mr. Adams, the American Minister, I is aware of Captain Semmes's departure.

David Kinsay, late gamekeeper at Gogerddan, was brought up under warrant, in custody by P.C. E.

The witness proved seei ng the defendants two dogs chasing a bare, which he had no donbt they would have killed, had he not been on the spot to pre- vent them. Abraham Evans was fined 10s, and John Davies, who is very young 5s, both including costs. The fines were at once paid.

ABERYSEWITII.-P.ETTY SEssioNs. -These sessions were held on Tuesday last, before Thomas O. Morgan, Esq., mayor, and John Davies, Esq John Grissel, an ostler, and occasionally the driver of an omnibus to the railway station, summoned Herbert Simonds, the driver of the Belle Vue omnibus for having on Friday the 17th instant, assaulted him at the railway station. The com- plainant said: About ten o'clock on Tuesday night last I was on the platform of the railway station. I was called by a gentleman to take his luggage to my omni- bus, and while I and another man were placing it on the omnibus the defendant took part of it down. I took hold of the luggage and endeavoured to pull it from him, and as I was in the act of lifting it, the defendant came from behind and struck me, breaking one of my teeth, and my lip was also seriously cut-the swelling has not come down yet. Mr Phillip Vaughan, who appeared.for the defendant, cross-examined the complainant, who said, in reply, I did not push the defendant."—Patrick Murphy said: I saw the complainant and defendant pulling at a gentleman's portmanteau, and I saw the defendant striking the complainant from behind. Cross- examined by Mr Vaughan I did not see the complain- ant pushing. Mr Vaughan, for the defence, contended that the defendant had a right to take charge of the luggage in question, as he had been directed to do so, and called Mr Rowland Evans, grocer, who said: I gave the luggage in charge of the defendant. I also told the railway porter to take it to the omnibus of the Belle Vue Hotel, of which the defendant is the driver. John Hughes, the conductor, said; I was present on Friday night when the quarrel took place between these men. I heard Mr Rowland Evans tell the defendant to take charge of the luggage. I saw the complainant and the defendant pulling at the portmanteau, and the com- plainant pushed the defendant against the wheelbarrow until he fell. James Edwards, grocer, corroborated the statement of Evans and Hughes. The complainant and defendant were both bound over to keep the peace for twelve months, each to pay his own costs. LECTURE.—On Friday evening, the 7th inst., at the Temperance Hall, in this town, Mr Smithard, of Derby, one of the agents of the National Temperance League, delivered a lecture on "Temperance." Mr John Wil- liams, the founder of the Temperance Hall, presided; the large was crowded, admission being free. Mr Smithard was loudly applauded on his appearance. He spoke at considerable length on the disastrous and ruinous effects of drunkenness in all its stages, and strongly recommended those present to abstain altoge- ther from intoxicating drinks. He sang several melodies with great taste, and was accompanied on the pianoforte by a Mrs Darby, one of the visitors. A collection was made at the door at the close of the proceedings. ABERAYRON.— A young seaman of'Nthe name of Thomas Lewis, one of the crew of the" Aeron Lass," of Aberayron, when at Ipswich, in September last, I jumped illto the dock and rescued from drowning a lad. Being much heated at the time, he caught a very severe cold, which ended in his death in the Sailor's Home, Falmouth. He left a mother in very low circum- stances, almost entirely dependant upon him for her subsistence, residing at Llandewi Aberarth. The inhabitants of Ipswich, much admiring the noble con- duct of this humble and undistinguished philanthropist, raised a subscription, and we are happy to say that the sum of C35 12s 6d was remitted during the past week, and has been handed over to the poor widow. It is not often that it is our pleasing duty to record such acts of prowess, but much more seldom one,that.ended in such a melancholy manner. The noble generosity of the good people of Ipswich is the general subject of con- versation and admiration. PETTY SESSIONS.—These sessions were held on Wednesday, before J. Boultbee, Esq., Col. Lewes, and A. S. Davies Esq.-John Lewis, Blaenbargoed, Llanarth, carpenter, charged George Burke, a tramp, with steal- ing one pair of 0 flannel drawers, value M. from off a iiedge.-Co-inmitted for twenty-one days imprisonment. -John Rees, Penrhyn, Cilcenin3 labourer, charged William Jones, a tramp, with stealing one shirt, value 5s, from off a hedge.—Committed for twenty-one days imprisonment.—David Davies, Tirbach, Cilcemn, farmer, charged David Jones, shoemaker, with an assault. Case dismissed, each party to pay his own costs.- Martha Rees, of New Quay, whose sentence was de, ferred from the 4th inst. to this day, was further adjourned to Tuesday next.—The license of the Red Lion Inn, Aborayron, was transferred from Evan Evans to Thomas Williams, and that of the Unicorn, from David Charles to David Jones, and that of the Grange Inn, Capel Cynnon, from David Richards to John Owens.

j According to a telegram from Copenhagen there is a prospect of the peace negotiations at Vienna being t oon brought to a close.
