E. M. Davies, Esq., the High Sheriff for this county has appointed Mr F. Green, solicitor, under-sheriff, and the Rev. Chancellor Williams, chaplain. MANCHESTER AND MILFORD RAILWAY —The bill for the deviation of the line came before Mr Frereione of the Examiners or Standing orders, on Saturday last, and it was decided that the Standing orders had not been complied vi itb. 0 CARMARTHENSHIRE INFIRMARY.—We are requested to state that linen being very much used at the Infir- mary, the Committee would be glad to receive any old linen from persons willing to give it to this excellent institution. THE WEATHER.—There has been a great change since last week. On Friday the temperature rose rapidly and a mild thaw commenced and on Sunday nearly all the snow had disappeared. At times it rained very heavily and on Saturday night and Sunday morning the weather was very tempestuous. During this week we have had frequent showers of hail and :rain, but the temperature has continued with some slight variations high for the season. CARMARTHEN PETTY SEssIONs.-These sessions were held at the Shire Hall, on Saturday last, before Capt. Davies, Lloyd Price, Esq., and the Rev. Chancellor Williams. An order was made for the removal of Ann Williams, aged 77 years, a pauper chargeable to the parish of Llanarthney, from that parish to the parish of Llanfihangel-Aberbythich, her last legal settlement. There was no other business of any public interest trans- acted. A USEFUL IXYEXTIOx.-E. J. Hill, Esq., of Ferryside, has within the last week taken out a patent for what is termed Hill's Digitation Pen and Pencil Holder," a very novel kind of penholder of his own invention. Its main feature is a wire-loop through which the finger of the writer is protruded. Its advantages over all kinds of existing penholders are so numerous and important that when it is once seen and used it will be certain to find favour. Among many other advantages is its peculiar adaptation for teaching the art of writing, and we doubt -not that it will soon become a favourite with the juvenile portion of the community, and indeed, it seems more than probable that it will in a very short time come into general use. Its construction is so simple, that it may be manufactured at such a cheap rate so as to enter very favourably into competition with pen- holders now in use, and so it will become available to all.—Comm un icatcd. CARMARTHEN DISTRICT ROADS BOARD.—A meeting of this Board was held in the Shire Hall, on Monday. There were present-Capt. David Davies (chairman), Mr Jones, Derllwyn, Mr Carver, Wenallt, Mr Lloyd, Penybank, Mr Adams, and Mr Thomas, Derllys. The proceedings were of a formal character, consisting for the most part in reading the minutes of the previous meeting, and so much of the minutes of the County Roads Board meeting as relates to this district, and in signing cheques to the contractors for broken materials. The Surveyor's report as to the casual labour required was read and adopted. The Surveyor said that at the annual meeting of the County Roads Board there was ijome debate as to the cost per year of the turnpike roads in this county. He had, adopting the same plan as General Wortham, made out a statement showing the amount expended on the roads, what the gates let for, and the charge per mile in this district, as compared with the other districts in the county, and with the counties of Cardigan and Brecon. From this state- ment it appeared that this district contrasted very favourably with the others, having labour and ma- terials cheaper. In the Carmarthen district the expenditure was JElS 6s per mile, and 13s 6d in the pound on the letting; in the Three Commott's District zcl9 8s per mile, and 16s 6d on the letting in the Llandovery District, X22 14s per mile, and 18s on the letting. In Cardiganshiro, X17 per mile, and 18s on the letting; and in Breconshire, 19s 6d ™ the letting. Mr Jones inquired if the calcula- Sm was based on the entire expenditure. The Surveyor tenlied that it did not include the salaries of the officers, but the amount actually expended on the roads. Seve- ral members of the Board expressed themselves gratified with the result, especially as the roads, on the whole, are now in a fair state of repair, notwithstanding the severity of the weather. POLICE COURT. On Monday, at the Shire Hall, before Capt. Davies, Valentine Davis, Esq and J. Lewis Philipps, Esq. Joseph Morris, landlord of the Union Hall public-house, Qnay-street, was charged with as- oaulting William Harries, a farmer residing at Pn- ilwyni, in the parish of Llanegwad, under the following circudmstaanncceess ComplaInant said-Last Saturday week, ?V ^°U+ noon, I went to the defendant's house with the ?outnoo of getting J agreements that had been intention my ther.jn_iaw. [Witness explained that j ,tolen ????t? will of the late Mr Davies, ? Penllwyni] Defendant went up-stairs to fetch the of i ??-? in a short time he came down with ? ?? ???men?nly in his hand, and he gave that to me. ouG document only for the rest. I knew he had them bic::use he P, shown them to Mrs Daniels, a fortnight or ?cwoeks before. In about an hour after that he tt the agreements downstairs and called Daniels into an° ther ro om to lo okatthem. Daniels at the same time :sked me to come in and see them. I asked the defen-  if he had any objection to give them up to me. He asked me what I would give him if he would give them up. I asked him how much he wanted, and he said he would take X4. I said I would give him nothing of the kind, but I did not mind giving him a few shillings. He said there was a young man in this town who would give him Xloo for them. Defendant then began to look for the agreement he had first brought downstairs, and asked Daniels for it. Daniels said he had not got it. I then told him that I had the agreement but I refused to give it back to him. I was about to leave the house, when the defendant called out Police! police!" and then his wife began to call out" Police police!" I then said, Oh, if you want a police, I will come back." If accordingly went back, and the defendant came and caught hold of me by my neckerchief, and held me, while his wife tried to get at my pocket. (Laughter.) T endeavoured to keep the defendant off, and his little f''rl also pushed him back. In the struggle my staff ?Uto the ground, and the defendant took it up and tried to strike me with It, but he failed to do so. After he lost the staff he ran to a back room to fetch the sweeping brush. (Laughter.) He tried to strike me with the brush, but was too far from me, the women preventing him. Capt. Davies: How old are you?— plaintiff: About thirty-eight.—Capt. Davies, and how old are you, defendant r-Defendant: Sixty-eight.—Mr V. Davies: Dear, me, the defendant must be a very courageous man to attack a young person like the com- plainant. (Laughter.)—Examination continued When the defendant lost the sweeping brush he again caught hold of my throat, and his wife again tried to get her hand into my pocket. I pushed the defendant off in order that I might take care of my pocket. He then took hold of a candlestick from the mantle piece, and tried to strike me with it. (Laughter.)—The Bench Why did you not leave the house ? what was to prevent you ?—Complainant: I did not leave the house because I wished to reason with him. I would have given the agreement up to him if he could have shown me that he had any right to it.—Defendant: I gave the document to him in order that he might read it over and see whe- ther it was the document he wanted, ai.d he would not give it back. I therefore tried to prevent him leaving use and he first took hold of me by the throat — r mnlainant: No, it was not given to me to read. He d'd not speak about reading. I cannot say what he gave it m ^-Defendant: I ai.d," Here's one; you g look at it and see whether it is the one you want." roay 00 him le  ? house with my deed.- i°°y prevented him leavmg ouse .WI! my deed.- Mr ?Hen?ry Dam?e??er residing at Nantypun, in the parish of Llane0 > corroborated the complainants' t tp t. t He was at defendants' house last statement in part. Saturday week in ,p,,y w,th eomp amant. Com- plainant asked 1\I for the document,, and returned p aman as e .I orrIs The first ?nt had been two, and retained one. Ine n docUDQent had been O'iven about an hour before the other Morris asked ? the first document, and complainant refused to give it. He went out from the defendants house, tthbm inkin£g the complainant was coming after him, bu when e found that the complainant was not fol[°wng' he re- turned to look for him. When he got to th entance of. defendant's house, he saw Morris and ? ?!e and daughter all about the complainant, whose hat and bck were en the floor. Jdorrwww jumping alwtt lik ei mountebank. (Laughter.) He saw him trying to strike I complainant with a sweeping brush, and also with a candlestick. He heard some one crying out for the police, but as soon as he got outside the defendant's house, the complainant made his escape, and followed him.—Defendant: Complainant first took hold of me by the throat.—Mr David Tenkins, of Wern, Abergwilly, was called by the complainant, but he knew nothing of the assault, except that he saw the women trying to take some paper from the complainant's pocket.—Defen- dant stated that a Mrs Thomas, who was now a widow and resided at Merthyr or Aberdare, came to his house one day with the documents in question: She wanted to borrow some money on them, and had been to Mr Green who was not at home. She then gave the docu- ments to defendant's wife, and asked her to take care of them for her, as she did notlike to carry them through the street so often. On the following day Mrs Thomas's husband came to defendant's house, and after some con- versation it was arranged that the documents should re- main in Morris's possession until Thomas or his wife should call for them. The defendant was therefore responsible to Mrs Thomas for the deeds, and when the complainant came there and took one of them, he tried to prevent him leaving the house, when complainant seized him by the throat. He also struck defendant's wife such a blow in the breast on leaving the house that she was ill in bed from that time to the present, and was unable to attend the court. If she had been able to attend he would have had a warrant against the com- plainant for assaulting her.—Jane Morris, the defendant's daughter, said she heard her father ask the defendant to give back the paper he had given him. Her father prevented the complainant from leaving the house, and the complainant took hold of him by the throat. Her father then took hold of a sweeping brush and a candle- stick, but she did not think he tried to strike the com- plainant but merely to frighten him. (Laughter.) She did not see her fathsr attempt to strike complainant with the candlestick. Complainant struck her mother a violent blow on the breast as he left the house.—Capt. Davies And how is your poor mother now ? (Laugh- ter.)—Witness She is very poorly, sir.—Capt. Davies (to defendant) Morris, you are an old man, sixty-eight years of ag., and ought to know how keep your temper under control. You ought not to allow your temper to get the mastery over your judgment. The assault has been clearly against you and the Bench have decided upon fining you two shillings and sixpence and costs, or seven days' imprisonment.—Defendant: Then I am to lose my document ?—The Bench We have nothing to do with your document.—Defendant: Then I shall take him to the assizes.—The Bench We cannot advise you on that point.—The charge against Thomas Evans for breaking the window of Mr John Williams, watchmaker, Lammas-street, was compromised, the defendant paying the complainant £2 10s. On Tuesday before the Mayor, Valentine Davies, Esq., Thomas Lewis butcher, Catherine street, was brought up in custody of the police, and charged with deserting his wife and family. It appeared from the evidence that the defendant left is nnf? and two children in August last, and that since the 29th of that month, they had been chargeable to the parish receiving at first 2s and of late 4s a week. The defendant was committed to gaol for a month. 2ND 6TH CARMARTHENSHIRE RIFLE VOLUNTEERS.— Drills for the week ending March 4th, 1865.-These Companies will parade on Monday, Feb. 27th, at half- past 7 o clock-dress, optional. The report of the com- mittee of the Carmarthen Rifle Association, 1864, will be presented to the members at this meeting; Tuesday, 28th, at half-past 7, squad drill for recruits.-6th Com- pany only: Wednesday, March 1st, at half-past 7, full uniform, for inspection of uniform of efficients of 1863-64; lhursdjay, March 2nd, at half-past 7, squad drill for recrmts. Efficients" of last year belonging to No. 6 Corps, whose uniform is in bad condition, are requested to parade on Wednesday evening in such uniform whatever its state may be.—By Order. PENNY READINGS, ENGLISH CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH. —These readings were most successfully repeated on luesday last. The room was thronged, and a large number were unable to obtain admittance. This is not at all surprising, for the readings and music are always so attractive, and supply so well that healthful and cheery recreation which a town like Carmarthen spe- cially needs, that it would be strange if a large number did not gather to them. SAINT CLEARS.—PETTY SESSIONS.—These sessions were held at the Swan Inn on Tuesday last, before Capt. It P. Beynon, and Timothy Powell, Esqrs. There was no business of any public interest transacted. PEMBREY.—BURRY PORT SMELTING Co. (LIMITED) —These works which were commeuced on the 19th of March, 1864, are now completed. A few of the furnaces were lighted on Monday last, and in the course of a few weeks the works will be in full operation. The build- ings are of a very substantial character, far superior to most works of the class, and the internal arrangements are also excellent. The whole are under the manage- ment of D. A. Onslow, Esq., of New Lodge. CROSS INN-—FATAL ACCIDENT.—On Tuesday morn- ing a man, named Rees Davies, employed at the Ponty- clerc colliery, while at work heard a noise accompanied. by groans proceeding from the bottom of the pit, he immediately went to the spot and a dreadful spectable awaited him, a man named John Evans, residing at Bettws, had attempted, it would appear, to ascend in the bucket, taking with him a pickaxe and other tools, and from some cause which remains to he explain- ed, the pickaxe entered his body, some of his intestines being actually found in the bucket, there were also bruises on hie head and neck. At present this melan- choly event is wrapped in mystery. The deceased has left a widow and two small children. LLANDYSSUL.—The Llandyssul monthly market was held on Tuesday last, and this proved by far the best market held here since its commencement. The supply of fat beasts, sheep, pigs, as well as of agricul- tural produce generally, was abundant, and the demand very brisk. Nearly all on offer was soon cleared, prices being nearly as follows :—butter 1 Od to Is Id per lb., cheese about 28s per cwt, pigs 8s 6d to 9a per score' sheep 4}d to -5d per lb., fat beasts 5d to 6d per Ib, oats from 2s to 2s 3d per bushel. LLANELLY.—LOCAL BOARD or HEALTH.-An ex- traordinary meeting, was held at the Town Hall, on Monday. When there were present—Mr W. H. Nevill, chairman, Rev D. Rees, Mr W. Thomas, Mr D. Evans, Mr D. Morris, Mr R. B. Jones, Mr R. Harries, Mr J. George, Mr B. Jones, Mr C. W. Nevill, Mr Rosser,& Ur R. T. Howell. This was a special meeting by requisition of four members, For the purpose of considering the objections of the Harbour Commissioners to the 33rd clause of the Water Bill, and to modify the same as may be deemed proper." The 33rd clause of the Water Works Bill and the Harbour Commissioners objections having been considered, it was resolved, That the fol- lowing clause be substituted, and that the Clerk to the Local Board be authorised to give an undertaking for its insertion m the proposed Bill. « The Board in addition to any other sums which they may borrow under the powers of the Public Health Acts, may from time to t^e for any of the purposes of this Act, and under the authority thereof borrow at interest on the security of the Water Rates l\"lable, and charges for water to be supplied under this Act, and on the security of the General District Rates, under Public Health Acts such sum as  ?"? not exceeding the 8um of! ??.0n? 00 aS nd on tXh. e security of the estate called the? Great Marsh or Burgesses Lands, subject to the provi- sions of the trusts under which such estate is held, such ?srsum as they may req aire not exceeding the sum of ?00, and may secure the repayment of the same with interest by mortgage accordingly BENEFIT BUILDING SOCIETY.-The annual meeting of; this society was held at the Town Hall, on Monday evening, the 13th inst. There was a large number of members present. The Directors' yearly accounts and report were read and adopted, which were of a very satisfactory character, and which shows the society to be in a flourishing condition. The total income of the society since the commencement of its business amounts to ?11,?3 Os 7d, the greatest part of which has been spent in the building of houses in this town and neigh- bourhood. As the rules of the society prohibit the addi- tion of fresh members, it is thought very desirable a new society should be formed. PANORAMA OF THE AMERICAN WAR.—Mr Harry H. Davies, (and not Mr Washington Davies, as stated in the last WELSHMAN), continued to exhibit his mangnifi- cent Panorama of the "American War," on Thursday, Enday and Saturday evenings last. We were sorry t see so few present on the two first mentioned nights, but it was much better attended on Saturday night The band of the rifle corps by the kind permission of Capt W H. Nevill, attended each evening and played a selection ot appropriate airs at intervals. Some of the scenes of the various battles and the sketches of Towns and the country around are very picturesque and grand Mr Davies gives an account of each scene as shewn in an intelligent and interesting manner. that MMr 1 lRY ich^arTd Br?asseZttW, t \r° grieved to learn that Mr Richard Bassett, highway surveyor and late relieving officer, residing near Trimsaron was found last Friday morning, in a river not far from his home quite dead. It is not known how he met with his death, and that so suddenly, as he was quite well in town on market day (Thursday). It is supposed he was going homo by night in crossing this river, must have fallen and was carried away by the cur- rent. Deceased was 70 years of age, and was generally respected by all in this neighbourhood. GREENFIELD BAPTIST CHAPEL.—" Open" or "Free Communion" has been determined on in this chapel. A deputation named by the church, reported at a meeting on Monday, that a large majority of the members were in favour of Open Communion." This has been brought about chiefly through the instrumentality of the Rev. D. M. Evans, the excellent and popular minister of the chapel. TOTAl, WRECK, OF THE VESSEL "ANN."— We deeply regret to learn that the above fine iron brig has become a total wreck, on the Mizzon head, near Wicklow sands ontheinah coast, where she had gone ashore as reported in the last WELSHMAN, it is very probable that the proprietors the Messrs Samuel, Sea Side, will be able to save and bring off the whole of the rigging, masts, ropes, &c., and some other materials. Unfortunately, the owners have only insured to the extent of half the YMU; LLANDILO.—FAIR.—This annual pig fair was held on Monday last. There was a very good supply of fat pigs, and good demand at from 8s 6d to 9a per score. The attendance of dealers was not so large as usual. POLICE.-On Friday last before D Prothero, Esq. Sarah Jones, an old offender, who had only the day before came from Carmarthen gaol for the same offence was charged by Mr Morgan, Pendry, the master of the Llandlo-fawr, Workhouse, with misbehaving herself in the union by refusing to go to her ward, W. Escott the porter, proved the offence, and defendant was sentenced to 21 days imprisonment. -On Monday, before J. W. M G. Hughes, Esq. William Harries, ef Penybank, Llandilo, was charged by P.S. J. Crowe, with being drunk and incapable on Saturday night. Defendant ad- m?d the offence, and was discharged on payment of 48 costs. PASTORAL AID SOCILTY. The Anniversary of the Llandilo Association in connection with the Church Pastoral Aid Society, was held in the National School- room, on Monday last, N. Davies, Esq., solicitor, in the chair. There was a large and highly respectable audience, and amongst those who spoke were the Rev. ce were the Rev. T. Mackfarlane, M.A., Llandilo, the Rev Q. Griffiths, Caledfwlch, the Rev R. Evans, Vicar of Ltandebie, and the Rev J. Griffiths, Llandilo, who, after a brief but lucid explanation of the constitution of the Society gave seme illustrations of the good it was working, and of the benefits it conferred by sketching his own connection with it. Mainly by its instrumentality he had been enabled in one part of the parish to wrest from the grasp of popery, a chapel destined for the worship of Romish saints, and to consecrate it to the service of God. In another part of the parish ha was enabled by the aid of this society to keep up a weekly service in a chapel which, having originally belonged to the Church, had passed successively into the hands of almost every denomination of dissenters he could name, but which, having been ultimately reclaimed to the Northern church, was at this moment being rebuilt in a style re- fleeting the nobleness of those who had undertaken it. In a third outlying district of the partsh, Lady Mansel and her daughters had undertaken the building of a chapel, which he could scarcely at the moment see how he was to serve, but for which he hoped, by the assist- ance of the Pastoral Aid Society, to provide occasional duties. The Rev J, Griffiths of Neath, in a speech characterised by his usual fervid eloquence, detailed at length the necessities which nearly 30 years ago, gave rise to the Church Pastoral Aid Society. He would chiefly confine himself to Wales, and the wants which the society aimed at supplying were there of a different nature from what they were elsewhere. The church had there provided for the spiritual tastes of the few to the exclusion of the many. Her ministrations had been chiefly conducted in a language of which the great body of the people was totally ignorant. They had, there- fore, to ptovide for themselves. The church" they said, does not care for us; she has failed to do for ns, what it washer duty to do." Dissent came to the rescue, and while the ohurch looked supinely on; while the clergyman in the pulpit went quietly through his duties, with poor Roger drawling below, and half a dozen listeners near the door, chapels sprung up in every direction, and drew the multitudes into them. Little, however, did our forefathers, the good men who headed the movement, anticipate the antagonism which in after years was to arise between great denominational systems and the church and bitter had been their grief, had they but forsee the results which were to follow. Still Wales owed to noncomformity a debt of gratitude which the church, if she could not repay, ought to acknowledge The Rev gentleman then went into a few facts connected with statistics, and wound up by an eloquent appeal to his audience on behalf of this society. The usual votes of thanks were passed, and the meeting broke up. The sum of £ 12 was collected after sermons in the parish chucrh on Snnday, by the Rev J. Griffiths, rector of Neath, and X2 10a at the meeting.
CARDIGANSHIRE.I
CARDIGANSHIRE. THE OPENING OF THE NEW SCHOOLROOM AT BOW- STREET.—On the 9th inst., the above schoolroom was formally opened, when the Rev. John Pugh, Vicar of Llanbadarn-fawr, read an appropriate portion of Holy Scripture, and offered prayers for its future success This is a very neat and convenient building erected at the sole expense of Mr and Mrs Pryse, of CvogerddBn. It is intended that the children should be instructed in reading, writing, arithmetic, &c., and also the elder por- tion of the girls be taught sewing, washing, ironing, baking, &c., for which purpose suitable rooms are at- ttched. Amongst those present at the opening, we noticed—Mrs Pryse, Gogerddan, with the young family Miss Loveden, Lodge Park; Misses Williams, Wallog; the Rev. Mr and Mrs Pugh, Llanbadarn-fawr; the Rev. W. Powell, Curate of Penrhyncoch, &c., &c. About eighteen months ago we had the pleasure of recording the opening of Penrhyncoch School Chapel, which was also built chiefly at the expense of the Gogerddan family. This is now put under Government inspection, and is in a most flourishing state, on the Lord's day divine service is held here, once in English and twice in Welsh, for which the services of a curate are engaged. This is a populous mining district, and distant about five miles from the parish church. Previous to the erection of this place the neighbourhood was entirely occupied by dissenters, and the people thus alienated from the church of their fathers for want of means of grace, but now large congregations assemble here at each service a good number have become communicants, and every- thing in connection with it progresses most satisfactorily. Thus the principles of the Church are extended and many a wandering sheep is being brought back to the fold of Christ. We may say that the tefuporal and spiritual wants of this neighbourhood are now ?eU Di- SJi for, and that mostly through the instrumentality of Mr and Mrs Pryse. ABERAYRON.— PETTY SEssio?—wnn?

TIVY SIDE HUNT WEEK AND STEEPLEI…
TIVY SIDE HUNT WEEK AND STEEPLE I CHASES. Since the resuscitation of these soor'fs a'r??? ? r? 3'?? ago they have grown into an importa scarcely anti- cipated by those who have taken thn » ♦ in their promotion. The support ?h?vV recei ved from the resident gentlemen ?e ? ? Side enabled the stewards this year to publish q programme that has at- tracted horses from long distaifces^ tif m° ^at ^as at" Open'being unusuaU?g adr??n??' ???y" ° e?na?bl?ed the "Open" being unusually large, and many of  famous for their great speed across Cou?rv T?! wards were Major Lewis, of Clynfiew and?\ H ?l: Blaendyffryn; Mr Brigitockef of ?e?d?'-  honorary secretary and the arrangements for the week left nothing to be desired. It is perhaps but an act of justice to state that to no one do the lovers of these fine sports owe so much as to Mr Brigstocke, who has for some years past been the presiding genius at most of the meetings in the western counties of South Wales; but of course the meetings on the banks of the Tivy have been his especial pets, and here his efforts have been ably backed by a host of friends. Doubtless the esteem m whicl he is held, and the popularity of the stewards, have led to the great success of this week's events. TUESDAY. Considering the extreme uncertainty of the weather, a large field met Morgan Jones, Esq., of Penylan, the; worthy master of the Tivy Side fox hounds, who brought his dogs to Cardigan punctually at half-past ten o clock. The hounds first drew Forrest blank, and found about one o'clock at Rhosygilwen. After making a short circuit round the covers, the fox got into a drain and could not be dislodged. The hounds afterwards trotted OS to Ffynone, and found immediately in the new gorse cover. %Thue tfox ran down through the line of covers, and across up by Nant Mill to Bwlchygroes, the scent being very good. The hounds then crossed over at the back of Star, and pointed away for Glogue slate quarries. However, finding the wind two strong to face, the fox turned short round to the left and across ovei Clydey mountain, and thence into Mr Powell's (Maesgwynne) country. Here the scent began to get somewhat bad in consequence of the great amount of melting snow- The hounds, however, steadily persevered on his line, and hunted him slowly up to Treleach, the fog becoming | dense. The shades of evening also were at this time coming on fast, and as the hounds had a long distance to return to kennel, it was thought expedient to whip them off, after a good hunting run of an hour and twenty-five minutes,-leaving the gallant fox for another day. We regret to state that during the run Mr Bng- stocke, of Gollydwyll, had a rather severe fall, in cross- ing a snow-drift, injuring his right eye, but fortunately not to such an extent as to prevent him taking his customary active part in the succeeding events of the week. db U at In the evening there was a ball at the Guildhall, at which there was a largo and fashionable attendance, most of the gentry of Cardiganshire and many from the adjoining counties being present. Amongst those attended were Major and Mrs Lewis, Clynnew; a y Catherine Allen, and Miss Alien; Major NVillan,, and the Misses Willan (2); Baron De R,tzen; Captain Howell, Mrs Howell, Miss L. Howell, Capt. W. J?au Captain Pryse; Pryse Pryse, Esq., Gogerddan, ana Mrs Pryse; H. Brenchley, Esq., Mrs Br,?,lehley, and Miss Brenchley; Miss Hack; Miss Vaughan,. E. M.

Davies Esq., Cardigan; Mrs Davies, Castle Green; Miss Holcombe D. G. Davies, Esq., &c. The refresh- ments were provided with taste and liberality by Mr j Trollopp, confectioner, who gave much satisfaction. The orchestra was occupied by Jones's excellent Quadrille Band, from Carmarthen, and some appropriate music was discoursed during the night, dancing being kept up with much spirit until the morning had far advanced. II WEDNESDAY. t The early morning was very gloomy, and now and again showers of drizzling rain fell; but as the day advanced the weather improved, the sun making its appearance about eleven o'clock, just in time to entice the desponding ones to turn out, and about noon there was a general movement towards the race ground, which iSoirJjltuated about five miles from Cardigan, at Cefn G mst in the parish of Manerdeify, and near the seat of Cc;l Saunders Davies. There were about fifteen fences in 8 :e course, some of them tolerably stiff, but on the w? <?they presented no difficulty to clever horses. The )otr?,? was not so heavy as might have been anticipated f:o&. the recent snow indeed, the only objection to the ? course seemed to be the long distance at which the horses were, for at least half of the circuit, from the the distance was so great that the colours of the riders could not be distinguished. With this ex- ception the arraugements were very satisfactory. Of the thirteen horses that entered for the" Open," five only put in an appearance, the absent ones being Ace of Hearts, Hunting Horn, Gaylad, Goldfinder, Master Frederick, Sahib, Whisperer, and St. Florence. No doubt Hunting Horn would have figured well in the race, if he had appeared, but Mr Temple preferred sending him to Birmingham. Goldfinder contested a race near Windsor, on Wednesday—a satisfactory reason why he was not at his post. Whisperer was on the ground, but we know of no reason why he should not have gone for the Open," except that his chance of winning was very remote indeed. We have no account of Master Frederick, Sahib, or St. Florence. Of the horses that came to the post, the favourite appeared to be Banting, who wasinexcellenttrim, Aunt Sally wasnext in favour, the Princess of Wales next, perhaps, although it was doubted whether she could reach home first with list. 21b. Wings was known as a clever fencer, but it was feared he could not go the pace. Newton was in better condition than when we last saw him, but he did not find much favour. There were few money transac- tions. About three o'clock the horses were placed in position near the wood about half-a-mile from the win- ning field. THE OPEN STEEPLE ^HASE.

Lort Phillip's Newton (Mr James) 0 Aunt Sally jumped off with the lead at a sharp pace, followed over the first fence by Wings, Banting, and Newton. Princess of Wales refused, and was thrown considerably behind. Thus three fences were got over, but at the fourth fence Newton fell, and was no more in the race. On crossing under the plantation in the distance Banting went to the front, Aunt Sally dropping into the second place, Wings a good third, and the Princess some distance behind. In the ploughed field Aunt Sally again took the lead, Wings tailing Banting, and thus the second mile was finished, when Banting fell. Just after entering upon the third mile, where they crossed the road, Aunt Sally had a good lead, Wings being second, Princess of Wales a bad third. Absolutely no change occurred during the last two miles of the race, Aunt Sally beating Wings by several lengths, Princess of \Vahs being a bad third. The pace was very rapid throughout, the distance being got over in eleven minutes and a half. PONY RACE. A Pony Steeple Chase, for Ponies not exceeding 14 hands in height, belonging to farmers or tradesmen residing within the limits of tho Tivy Side Hunt. Ponies that have ever won f5 are disqualified. About 2 miles. Post entry, 5s each. The first Pony to receive £ 5 the second, Xl the third, £ 10s.

Julia, a white pony, appeared to be the favourite, and was backed to win for a trifle. She started off with the lead, but after taking a couple of fences, she came down a burster. Butterfly then took up the running, for a short time, but Jack soon went to the front, and the Cock Robin took second place for a short distance, but was soon passed by Julia, who went at an excellent pace until she got second, and then first, and she continued to lead until the last bank, which she breasted, allowing Cock Robin and Jack to finish the race. There was a run of some three or four hundred yards to the winning post, and for the greater part of that distance they ran a neck-and-neck race. Ultimately, however, Jack showed in front, and reached the post first by a length or two. This race was well contested, some of the ponies having great speed. Six horses prepared for the next race, which it was expected would be well contested. Mr Powell's Dandy was favourite, and was certainly a fine horse, and in his preliminary canter displayed great speed. Whisperer was perhaps second in favour but they were all well matched. Mountain Lass and Newton we had seen before, but Satanella and The Doctor made their first appearance on this occasion. i livv SIDE HUNT STAKES.

Vrbisperer went off with the lead, followed by the Doctor, the others being well up. Three fences were taken in good style by the six horses, but at the fourth Satanella came down 1 cropper, tumbling over Downes in the ditch. The mare ap-ioared to be hurt, and was .nOL persevered with. The Lass was soon palled up, being too fleshy lor the pace. Whisperer led for a short distance, when he was passed by Dandy, and soon after- wards by Newton, the Doctor being last. Newton, Dandy, and Whisperer, all close together, alternately led until the plantation, at the turn home, when Dandy came to grief, surrendering first position to Whisperer, Newton going second. Dandy was mounted quickly and tailed the Doctor, and thus the road was reached, where Whisporer tumbled, giving the first place to Newton. A splendid run home ensued, Newton getting over the last fence some twenty lengths in advance of Dandy, who failed to catch him, reaching the post a dozen lengths behind. The Doctor came in a bad third, THE FARMERS' STAKES.

(Downes) 0 inis was a catch-weight race that did infinite credit to the farmers of the Tivy Side, most of the horses being clever bankers, and of great speed. Yeoman jumped off with the lead, followed by Tom, Polly being third, Lampeter Lass fourth, the other two being well up. After a couple of fences had been got over Polly went to the front, the four first-named betag closed together. At the end of the first mile Polly st ill led, and by the plantation she crossed the Lampeter Lass, who was closa at her heels, Tom being at this time third. Polly when near the road again crossed the Lass, and enabled Tom at this place to get into the second position. Little change occurred during the next two miles, the whole of the horses running well together. In the run home when about to cross the road, the Lass refused, having led for several fields previously. Polly then took up the running, Tom being second, the Lass third, and Ploughboy fourth, and thus the last fence was reached, where the Lass again refused- Polly was over several lengths in advance of Tom, but became somewhat restive, and it was not until Tom was beside her that she could be persuaded to run home, when an excited finish ensued, resulting in Polly's vic- tory by a couple of lengths, Ploughboy coming in a bad third. In the evening the stewards' ordinary was held at the Black Lion Hotel, where a most excellent dinner was provided by Mr Parker with his customary good taste and liberality. It is to be regretted, however, that there was so small an attendance, not more than twenty being present. The chair was occupied by Capt. Howell, one of the stewards, and the vice chair by Mr Brigstocke, of Gellydwyll. After the removal of the cloth, the loyal and patriotic toasts were proposed by the Chairman and warmly received. Col. Lewes, of Llanlear, the High Sheriff of the county, in very complimentary terms, proposed the health of the stewards, expressing his regret that Major UUAVQIV?L; re trat proposeod f the L?ie,9< OlyaSewwM ua?YWM?y MMat. He wu sure they were all very much indebted to the stewards for the trouble they had taken in providing the sports. (The toast was received with musical honours.) The Chairman, in responding, said, he lived so far from Cardigan that he had done comparatively little, the work having fallen upon Major Lewis and their esteemed friend Mr Brigstocke. Major Lewis, no doubt, had done what he could to ensure the success of this meeting, and he regretted that indisposition compelled him to return home early this evening. But it would have been utterly impossible for the stewards to have ensured the success of their steeple chases-it would have been impossible for them to have done Bo-unless they had been backed by their Honorary Secretary. (Cheers.) The Tivy Side Steeple Chases could no more be carried on without Mr Brigstocke, than those at Llanboidy could without Mr Oliver Powell. (Hear, hear, and cheers.) Re therefore had much pleasure in proposing Mr Brigstocke's health. (The toast was warmly received.) Mr Brigstocke, after the cheering had subsided, said he could state with the utmost sincerity that he had done his best to keep up these meetings, and the result, after a three years' trial, had been very satisfactory. The weather had been so very bad for several weeks, or they would doubtless have had a larger number of strangers amongst them. Indeed, a week or so ago he feared they should not have been able to get the races off this week, and he was consequently very much in the spirit of little Binks when he committed suicide in a tub of water. (Laughter.) The stewards, too, and par- ticularly the stewardesses, had been most anxious about the ball. He was happy to say, however, that the ball had been equally successful as the races. (Hear, hear ) They had this year had some well-contested races in addition to the Open and Hunters' stakes. The Far- mers' stakes drew some splendid animals to the ground horses that would be a credit to any farmer. The races were run honestly throughout, and the horses were handicapped well and without favour. (Hear, hear.) It had been said that the horses should have been han- dicapped by a stranger, but in his opinion a committee of Welsh gentlemen were quite as competent to do the work as a stranger, and he was sure it had this year been done well. (Hear, hear.) No doubt if the weather had been better they would have had a larger meeting, and he extremely regretted the small attendance here to-night. Mr Parker had provided a very hadsome entertainment, and had been disappointed in the number present; but he would remind them that the gentlemen of the neighbourhood were doing the host to-night as well as Mr Parker, and therefore could not leave their homes. He was, however, sorry that the town of Cardigan was not better represented at these meetings. (Hear, hear.) He hoped that in future years the town folk would stir themselves He saw no reason why they should not next year have a Cardigan Town Plate. (Cheers ) For himself, while he thanked them for their kind reception of his name he would say that he had worked hard in establishing these meetings, and so long as he could do anything to promote their success he would be found at his post. (Cheers.) He believed he could say that they had this year one of the most, if not the most successful meeting in the princi- pality. (Hear, hear.) He did hope that next year they should have a Cardigan Town Plate, and that the mem- bers of the corporation present (Mr R. D. Jenkins, mayor, and Mr T. Davies, ex-mayor,) would ventilate the subject. There was one other matter to which he felt bound to refer. On former occasions the ball-room and refreshment room were most inconvenient, but through the exertions of Mr Griffith, of Treforgan, a very great improvement had been effected. Mr Grif- fith had kindly taken the work upon his own shoulders, and had vastly enhanced the comfort and convenience of those who attended. He heartily thanked him for what he had been the means of accomplishing, and had much pleasure in proposing his health. (The toast was drunk, with much cheering.) Mr Griffith briefly responded. If he had given them satisfaction, that was all he desired. As he lived close to Cardigan, he could sometimes give them his assis- tance more readily than many who lived at great dis- tances, and he could assure them he should always be happy to assist in bringing these meetings to a successful issue. Mr Brigstocke, in complimentary terms, proposed the health of the High Sheriff of the County. Col. Lewes, he said, was not only a distinguished soldier, but a good huntsman. On the previous day he could not help remarking, "how well the Colonel goes on his Spanish Lancer." (Cheers). Col. Lewes said he liked to see good honest racing, and they had this year seen racing of that character. No doubt the first and great thing to be found was money, and Mr Brigstocke seemed to have a good com- mand of that essential. He hoped he would go on; and if he continued to do so well as he had done during the past three years, the Tivy Side races would soon te second to none in the Principality. (Hear, hear.) The chief feature in the day's racing had been the Farmers' race. He had seen the farmers to-day enter their three- year olds, and had been surprised to find that there were such excellent horses in the country. Again, the pony race had pleased him amazingly: It was surprising to see how the little fellows got over the fences. He suggested that more money should be put into the Farmers' Stakes, so as to encourage them to get a better class of horses and to patronise good sires. At present he did not know a horse in the country to which they could put their mares for a decent sum. The great thing was to get the farmers first of all to breed well, then to feed well, and afterwards to educate their horses, for the chief point in a hunter was his educa- tion. (Hear, hear.) In order to get farmers to breed su :h horses, they must offer large premiums at these races. He knew a farmer who won a race there three years ago, and what had been the consequence ? That man had now three good horses. He did not run them this year, but he know he had three first-rate horses. He therefore thought it would be a very good plan to increase the Farmers' Stakes, or perhaps to add a second race for them but by all means try to get good horses. They were at present obliged to go to Pembrokeshire for their best horses. He would not say every good horse they had came :from Pembrokeshire, because the best horse he ever had was a Cardiganshire horse. Some other complimentary toasts were proposed, and the company rose at an early hour. The Tivy Side Fox Hounds met yesterday at the kennels, and the gallant Master entertained a large field At his mansion. The ball at the GniidhnTI last night, it was oxpectod. would be attended by a large and fashionable compauy.

LATE-g-;fINTELLIGENCE. LATEST INTELLIGENCE. I AMERIC NEW YORK.—A )nn oil Monday Grant's 1eft again advanced, but waa shortly attacireu oy the Confederates in force, and driven back in con its entrenchments on Hatcher's Run. The loss was upwards of 1,500. On Tuesday the Federals advanced! a portion of their entrenchments, the Confederates offer- ing no opposition. General Lee reports the death of GtJDeral Pegram in Monday's action. It is reported that this movement, of the'Potomac a my was designed I to cover advance against Wilmington, which was com- menced on Monday by General Terry, at the head of, 5MYOOft mpn. NEW YORK, Feb. 10 (Evening).—President Davis has sent a message to Congress, submitting the report of the peace conference. The President states that he sent commissioners to confer with Mr Lincoln, in consequence of the receipt of a written notification that the President was disposed to confer informally with unofficial agents that Mr Davis might send with a view to the restoration of peace. The commissioners' report submitted shows that the Federals refused to negotiate on any other terms than those of conquerors or to permit the South to have peace otherwise than through unconditioned submission with acceptance of the recent Federal legislation, inclu- ding the constitutional amendment, and with the right on the part of the Federal Congress to legislate on the subject of the relations between the whito and black population of each State. Such President Davis under- stands to be the effect of the Constitutional amendment. The Commissioners report that their interview with Pre- sident Lincoln and Mr Seward continued several hours and was full and explicit. They learned from them that Mr Lincoln's message to Congress in December last ex- nlains clearlv and frankly his sentiments upon the terms and conditions and method of proceeding by which the Southern people can secure peace. The Commissioners were not informed that they would be altered to obtain that end. No terms or proposals with the authorities of the Confederate States or with separate States would bo entertained, because that would recognise their exis- tence as a separate power, which under no circumstances would be done. No extended truce or armistice as at present advised would be granted or allowed without a satisfactory assurance in advance of the complete resto- ration of the authority and constitutiongj laws of the United States over all places within the Confederacy. Whatever consequences may follow from the re-establish- ment of that authority must be accepted. Individuals subject to pains and penalties under the United States laws might rolv upon a very liberal use of the power confided to the President to omit those pains and penal- ties if peace be restored. During the conference the pro- posed constitutional amendment was brought to the Commissioners' notice. An immense mass meeting has been held at Richmond at the call of the Governor of Virginia, for the people to testify their sense of the results of the peace conferrence. Resolutions were passed spurning with the indignation due to so gross an insult the terms on which Mr Lincoln proffered peace to the people of the Confederate States; that the circumstance under which that proffer was made adds to the outrage, and stamps it as a designed and promediated indignity to the Southern people that the profoundest gratitude is due to the soldiers who for four years have maintained our liberties, and we will sustain them by every means and resources at our com- mand in the face of the world; that, invoking God's aid, we renew our resolution to pledge our lives, our fortunes, andjour sacred honour to maintain our liberties and indepence." President Davis made a speech, decla- ring that if all heartily and uuanimously auswered the fottMids of the promt eugeaoft thea be could PY that the South stood upon the verge of success, which would teach the insolent enemy who had treated the Southern propositions with contumely, that in that Conference in which he had so plumed himself with arrogance, he was indeed talking to his masters. If any man supposed he (Davis) could, under any circumstances, be an agent for the reconstruction of the Union, he mistook every ele- ment of his nature. With the Confederacy he would live or die. If half the absentees returned to Lee's army, Grant would be taught a lesson such as he had never received even on the road from the Rapidan. Grant's left commenced moving on Monday. The Thhd. Division of the Fifth Corps advanced along the road leading from Duncan Road towards Boylton Plank Road, driving the Confederates from their breatworks at Dabney's Mills. In tho afternoon the Confederates made a determined attack along the whole line, expect- ing to break through or cut off the Third Division. Simultaneously they made an attack in front, and part of the Third Divison being cut off from communication, gave way and retreated i i disorder to the breastworks erected by the Second Corps, which had just crossed Hatcher's Run, and become demoralised, were rallied, and assisted in driving the enemy back. The Federals, during the retreat, abandoned two artillery waggons. Shortly afterwards the Confederates attacked the left of the Second Corps near Armstrong House, on Duncan Road, but were repulsed with loss. The Federals lost on Sunday and Monday 1,180 men. On Tuesday they occupied the ground lost on the previous day. Grant's permanent lines now extend from what was for- merly the extreme left at Fort Cumming, or Squirrel Level Road, to across Hatcher's Run, at Armstrong Mills. Lee's report states that on Sunday evening he moved a strong force to Hatcher's Run. Part of his infantry crossed and proceeded to Cattab Creek, and the cavalry to Dinweddie Court-house, where they encountered the Federal cavalry and retired. In the afternoon Hall's and Gordon's troops demonstrated against the enemy on the left of Hatcher's Run, near Armstrong Mills, but finding him entrenched, withdrew during the night. The force, which advanced beyond the Creek, was re- ported re-crossing. On Monday morning Pegram's division moved to the right bank of the Creek to recon- noitre, when it was vigourously attacked. The battle was obstinately contested for several hours, but Pegram being killed, and Colonel Hoffan wounded, some con- fusion occurred, and the division was pressed back to its original position. Van's division was ordered to sup- port Pegram's and charged the enemy, forcing him back, but was in turn compelled to retire. Mahomey's division then arrived, and drove the enemy rapidly to his defences at Hatcher's Run. The Federal loss is small, and the enemy's loss is not supposed to be great. The object of Grant's movement has not transpired. NEW YORK, Feb. 11, (Morning.) —The New York Times asserts that Generals Thomas and Wilson, with 40,000 cavalry and mounted infantry, are moving for a campaign from the Tennessee River to the Mexican Gulf, via Montgomery, Selma, and Mobile. President Lincoln has signed the joint resolution to give England notice of the termination of the treaty of 1817 regula- ting the naval force on the lakes. The resolution is preceded by a declaration that peace on the frontier ia endangered by hostile expeditions which the naval forces of the two countries may be insufficient to prevent. NEW YORK, Feb. 11, 10 p.m.—A special despatch to the Philadelphia Bulletin states that the Richmond papers of yesterday announces unofficially the capture of Branchville by Sherman. Hood's army is said to be at St. John, and Beauregard at Augusta.

But if the reports which have reached us may be trusted, his scheme has met with but little encouragement. It is of course a question on which different opinions may be fairly held, whether the esta- blishment of a University is likely in any measure to raise the standard of education in Wales. Many persons, whose judgment in such a matter is entitled to the greatest weight, are of opinion that what is wanted is not a Univer- sity, but "the extension of the resources which Wales as well as England already possesses in her Free and Grammar Schools." This is a question which we cannot now enter upon at large. We will merely content ourselves with observing, that the schools are far more likely to develop their resources, when a suitable object of ambition is placed within their reach. Parents will be more ready to send their sons to the schools, when they know that there is a reason- able prospect afterwards of a college education, at a small expense, with a degree at the end of it. And masters will exert themselves to bring forward their most promising pupils, if they find that their success in the college examinations is likely to reflect credit upon the school.
