IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. On Monday there were several points of interest in the notices and questions which precede the regular business of the House. Mr Lowe, siding with Mr Barry, has undertaken to bring the question of the new law courts before the House. Lord Stanley intimated that, though approving generally the report of the Neutrality Commissioners, he still bad the subject under considera- tion, and there was no chance of legislating upon it till the new Parliament. Complaint was made by Mr Monk and others of the count out of Friday last, as being at the least a neglect of duty on the part of the Government, some members even charging them with having not only connived at but instigated it. Lord Robert Montagu was named as having been especially active in promoting the count out." Mr Vance, how- ever, asserted that the occurence was due to a split among the Liberals in regard to Mr Fawcett's motion about Trinity College, Dublin. Mr Disraeli was impressive in his expression of virtuous indignation at count outs generally, repudiating any responsibility for this parti- cular one, and advised Mr Monk to fix his bill for giving revenue officers votes for to-day. Mr Grenfell, who described himself as a member of that much persecuted body," the Jamaica Committee, elicited from Mr Lamont that he adopted without ex- amination the list of signatures to the petition on behalf of Mr Eyre which he read to the House, and now found that the list included all who had ever given any subscription, however small, to the fund, in addition to those who had signed the petition. After some discussion on the Lords' amendments on the Sea Fisheries Bill, in which the vexed question of foreshores incidentally turned up, the House turned its attention to the Government of India Act Amendment Bill. The relative interest of domestic and Indian questions, especially when the former affect proprietary rights, was illustrated in a very marked manner. There were 258 members in a division on the great foreshore question; but scarcely a score of members remained to keep up the appearance of a House when the Indian Bill came on. Lord William Hay, insisting that India should be governed as much as possible in India, and that the Home Minister should be directly responsible to Parliament without the intervention of a Council, argued in favour of increasing the indepen- dence of the Secretary of State, and abolishing the veto on financial measures which the Council enjoys. Mr Mill, on the other hand, deprecated the reduction of the Conncil into a mere consultative body. It was essential that the authority of the Home Government should be maintained, and that could best be accomplished by strengthening the position of the Secretary of State by means of an efficient Council of review and control. Sir H. Rawlinson recommended an inquiry into the whole subject. Sir Stafford Northcote agreed with Mr Mill. He asserted that the disposition of the Council was to support the Viceroy that it was of great service to the Secretary of State and that a competent Secretary had always sufficient influence to overrule his Council if he differed from it on any serious question. When an Indian Secretary endeavoured to escape responsibility for a decision by throwing it on the Council, it reminded him of Adam's excuse for his sin in Eden-" the woman tempted me, and I did eat." The term of service for members of the Council here- after to be appointed was fixed, with Sir Stafford Northcote's consent, at ten years instead of twelve; with the proviso, quggested by Lord William Hay, that any retired member shall be eligible for re-election if, after the expiration of his first term, he shall have -aQ;r1ac1 frwr* "PArR in T nniA ,O.LYU\.A J On the consideration of the Irish Reform Bill, as amended, Mr Rearden, presenting himself with a motion to reduce the county franchise to JE6 and the borough franchise to £8, afforded the House another opportunity of hooting him. The motion was negatived without a division. THE CATTLE PLAGUE. Sir J. C. Jervoise asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he was aware that a paragraph in The Times of the 7th of September, 1867, announced that the International Veterinary Congress held at Zurich determined to request the Russian Govern- ment to appoint an International Commission to con- sider the possibility of arresting the cattle plague in its place of origin, the steppes of Russia;" whether the statement was correct; whether that determination was carried out, and with what success and whether the report of the resolutions come to by the Congress would be distributed. Lord Stanley-I regrot that I cannot give the hon. member the information he requires. I have seeen the paragraph in The Times to which the question refers, and I am aware that a body called the Inter- national Veterinary Congress have recently held a meeting at Zurich. No report of that conference has, however, reached the Foreign-office, and I am not aware whether any report has been made such as is described in his question. The House of Commons on Tuesday sat from two o'clock in the day till close upon two o'clock next morn- ing-twelve hours at a stretch, with an interval be- tween seven and nine for dinner. Tho morning sitting was devoted to the Public Schools Bill. Mr Newdegate made two ineffectual efforts to prolong the existence of the present governing bodies, the majority against him rising from 109 to 133, while the members who followed him into the lobby dwindled from 25 to 9. An attempt by Mr Lowther to deprive the governing body of West- minster School of the discretionary power given to them by the bill to admit the chorister boys of the neigh- bouring Abbey elicited from Mr Mill and others an emphatic assertion of the rights of the lower, middle, and working classes to a share of these edu"ational endowments the amendment was negatived without a division. Protests were raised by Mr Karslake and Mr Newdegate on behalf of Harrow and Rugby, respective- ly, against the division of those schools each into two separate establishments—one classical and the other commercial. Ultimately it was agreed that power should be given to establish a lower but not a seperate school. The clause nominating the Commission was objected to by Mr Ayrton, Mr Labouchere. and others, as being deficient in the reforming element, but on a division it was supported by 140 votes, there being only two against it. The House resumed its sitting at nine o'clock to bear Lord Elcho's opinions on the reorganization of tne army. An elaborate review of the military position of other countries led him to the conclusion that our army was not only costly beyond reason, but crippled by the failure of the recruiting system, and incapable of prompt and efficient expansion on an emergency. General Peel's grand plan of an Army of Reserve, 50,000 strong, had up to the present produced less than 5,000-2,000 old soldiers, and 3,000 militiamen. Out of three regiments of militia which had just com- pleted their drill only eight men volunteered for the reserve, and of these only three were attested. He moved for the appointment of a Royal Commission on army organization, chiefly with the view to the forma- tion of an efficient and economical army of reserve. General Peel thought the moment opportune for an inquiry, as we were neither in a state of panic nor of false security. Our present system was defective in this respect, that officers were wanting in the militia while they were superabundant in the live the remedy was to transfer men from the latter to the former. Sir H. Verney recommended that a few regiments should be embodied for short service. Tiiey would get a very superior class of men, who might be drilled and become perfectly good soldiers in four or five years. A large body of these would pass through the army rapidly, and these would naturally be the army of reserve. Sir J. Pakington's speech was, in the first place, a protest against anything approaching to the un-English system of a conscription it was enough that the Sovereign should have power, as at present, to enforce a ballot for the militia and, in the next place, an optimist assertion that our reserve forces were quite sufficient, and that being so no inquiry was needed.

FINANCE COMMITTEE.—On Thursday (yesterday), the County Finance Committee met at the Shire-hall for the purpose of examining the accounts in anticipa- tion of the quarter sessions next week. The magistrates present were Sir John Mansel, Bart., the Yen. Arch- deacon Williams, and W. G. Hughes, Esq., Glancothy. EARLY CLOSING MOVEMENT.—On Tuesday evening another public meeting was held in the Town-hall, the Ven. Archdeacon Williams in the chair. The speakers were Dr. Lewis, Mr. T. H. Jenkins, Mr. Valentine Da- Vis, Rev. J. Palmer, Rev. E. Z. Lyttel, and Mr. Harries. .Reáolutions approving of the movement were carried. JOINT LUNATIC ASYLUM.—On Tuesday last J. L. G. P.

BOARD OF CONSERVATORS. -A quarterly meeting of the Board of Conservators for the Carmarthen Bay fishery District was held at the Shire Hall, on Wed- nesday. The following members were present-Mr T. R. Ohver Powell (chairman); Mr C. Morgan, Alltygog; Mr J. Lewis Philipps, Bolahaul; Dr Lewis, Spilman- street; Mr J. Beynon, jun., Trewern Mr J. Chivers, Kidwelly; Mr C. Bishop, jun., Llandovery; Mr H. Peel, jun., Taliaris; Mr J. Hughes, Spilman-street; and Mr W. George, Smithfield, Whitland. The Chairman stated that he had presented the petition to the last court of quarter sessions for Carmarthenshire, praying that Col. Scott be appointed head water- bailiff, at a salary of not less than £ 20 a-year; and also that the police of the county be ordered to assist in the preservation of the rivers within their district. The oourt said they could not comply with the prayer of the Petition, inasmuch as Col. Scott, by the orders of court, ^8 precluded from taking any lucrative office while Chiet Constable. So far as the police force were con- cerned, the court expressed its willingness to allow them to assist in the preservation of the river, so far as the work did not interfere with their ordinary duties. The petition to the Pembrokeshire court was similar, except that it did not ask for a head water-bailiff. The court at once complied, and ordered the police to take under their care the rivers in their district.—Mr Mor- gan did not see why the police should not be directed to watch the rivers in their district. They were inten- ded to prevent crime, and to bring offenders to justice. Just now he had seen no less than six policemen stand- ing in Nott-square, and they might have been at Haver- fordweat or any other place for the good they were in Carmarthen. (Laughter.) In reply to Mr Hishop, the Chairman explained that in Pembrokeshire Capt. Stokes, after the court had made the order, came and gave him the names of those constables within the dis- trict, and he then signed a paper appointing them water bailiffs for Pembrokeshire; but in this county he could not get an order to make them water-bailiffs, but that they should assist the water bailiffs, and he was informed by Col. Scott that he would order his men to assist so far as their duties were not interfered with. The Board then proceeded to consider the notices given by Mr Hughes, relative to certain alterations in the rules of the Board. In the first place he moved that the quorum should in future be five instead of seven, as there had frequently been a difficulty in getting meetings in consequence of an insufficient number of Conservators.-Mr Beynon thought a quorum of three was sufficient; but Mr Hughes considered that there should be five, out of a possible number of twenty-seven conservators.—Mr Bishop, Mr Peel, and Mr Chivers were in favour of a quorum of seven. On a division there was a majority in favour of Mr Hughes's motion. -Mr Hughes then moved that adjourned meetings be convened by circular and advertisement, in the same manner as quarterly and special meetings were con- vened.—The motion was seconded by Dr Lewis, and agieed to after a brief discussion.—Mr Hughes next moved an alteration in the eleventh rule. It stated that no person should bring any motion before the Board, unless he gave fourteen days' notice to the Clerk of his intention. He moved to strike out the words "fourteen days," so that the rule would read, "by giving notice of his intention," &c.-This was seconded by Mr Philipps, and agreed to.-The Board next pro- ceeded to appoint water-bailiffs. There was an applica- tion for the office of head water-bailiff from Mr W. H. Haigh who offered to undertake the duties at a salary of A25 a-year. He produced several testimonials. It having been determined to appoint a head water-bailiff and three water bailiffs, Mr Haigh was appointed head bailiff at a salary of JE25 a-year, subject to a month's notice on either side.—It was also agreed that the Head Bailiff should appoint three water- bailiffs, at a salary of 15s per week each, and that in addition to such salary they be allowed such travel- ling or other expenses as the Head Bailiff may think proper, subject to the approval of the Clerk.—A de. putation of fishermen were then given an audience. The men said they were not only prohibited from taking fish in proper season, but the size of their mesh was so great that they could not catch sewen unless the fish exceeded one pound weight. They asked that they should vary their nets, and that they be allowed to fish with a net haviug an inch and a half or a two inch mesh, during the next month or six weeks. They were aware the Board could not alter the Act of Parliament, but asked them not to send the bailiffs after them if they fish with an illegal net during the ensuing month.—Mr Hughes thought the men bad a real grievance, and regretted that the law did not permit the Board to grant their request.—The Chairman said they were bound to carry out the law. The fishermen should petition Parliament, who alone had the power to alter the act.—One of the fishermen said they used to be allowed to vary the size of the mesh at certain seasons, and he had in his posses- sion as many as half a dozen nets with meshes varying in size, not one of which he could now use.—The Board having stated that they could not interfere, the deputation withdrew. LLANDILO.—POLICE.—On Tuesday last, before the Rev D. H. T. G Williams, Elijah Williams, a gipsy, was charged by P.S. John Crowe, with being drunk and disorderly at the fair on the previous day. Fined 5s and costs. -Walter Hopkins, of Llangennech, was charged by Evan Bowen, inspector of the Llanelly Railway, with stealing a pair of trousers. Prisoner was remanded until Saturday next.—On Wednesday last, before G. B. Jones. Eso.. and thA Ftev- D. H. T. G. Williams, John Edwards, of Tredegar, Monmouth- shire, was charged by Mr David Lewis, of the Ship, Llandilo, with assaulting him on the 22nd of June. Complainant deposed I am an innkeeper at Llandilo, and keep the Ship. On the evening of the 22nd inst., the defendant came to my house about ten o'clock. The female who accompanied the defendant took hold of another man's quart jug and broke it. I packed the people out of the house. I sent the defendant out after I did so, and whilst I was talking to another person, the defendant opened the door and struck me until I was senseless on the floor, and the blow I received was followed by a stream of blood. The defendant is the person that struck me. Fined 12s and costs, in default of payment fourteen days imprisonment. ACCIDENT.—On Wednesday, the 17th inst., an acci- dent happened to a boy of the name of David Thomas, fifteen years old, a clerk at the Llandilo Railway Station. It appears that Thomas had occasion to speak to one of the men who was on the engine, and as he came down (the train being in motion) his foot slipped and he fell, the engine passing over his left arm. Dr Wood was on the spot immediately, but as Dr. Prothero, and Dr, Danes, were absent, a telegram was sent to Llandovery for Dr Thomas, who performed the act of amputation. The poor boy is now in a fair way of recovery. JUNE FAIR.—At this fair, on Monday last, there was a very large supply of cattle of all kinds, but scarcely any demand one-year-old steers selling from Y,6 to zC-i, two-year-old from ZCIO to JE12. There were a good many cows with calves on offer, which were sold at from ZCIO to X15, according to quality. Fat cattle:were also plentiful, and sold at from 6d to 9d per lb. There were a great many horses brought to this fair, but the business done was limited, as the horses were of an inferior class but for anything good, there was a brisk competition, but very low prices were given. There was an abundant supply of wool brought to this fair, which was sold at the rate of Is Id and Is 2d per lb. The pig fair was held on the following day, and there were a good many fat pigs and porkers on offer, which were sold at from 9s 6d to 108 6d per score. The attendance of butchers was large.

Both dis- courses were listened to with attention by a crowded congregation.

EISTEDDFOD AT CARDIGAN. It is singular that Cardiganshire is not famous for its Eisteddfodau. In language and costume—from hat down to clogs-perhaps no county is so excessively Welsh, and yet the Welsh Institution is not largely encouraged. It may be said that its growth was fostered there once; true, but the lustre of the past only in- creases the dimness and indifference of the present age. An effort was recently made to revive the ancient spirit, but the people had for so long been hearing of their neighbours gathering and holding scarcely any of their own that they did not encourage the attempt as they might, and the project did not pay and even a pre- historic institution languishes and withers when th." chilly fingers of poverty touohes it. But matters are improving, although the thorough old-fashioned spirit is far from being awakened, and the only thing to be recommended is the holding of an Eisteddfod every year, at some of the principal towns, and encouraging all hamlets and villages to hold as many as they possibly can. The Eisteddfod held on Wednesday, in the Market Hall, was tolerably well attended in the morning. The Hall was embellished with flags and the mottoes, Llwyddiant i dref Aberteifi," Gwell synwyr na Chyfoeth," Brodyr pob Caredigion," etc. The ar- rangements were decidedly good and reflect great credit on the management; and it may be said that this was, for a wonder, a comfortable Eisteddfod, as regards sitting room, order, and decency, and all the rest of it. Not a single uproar occurred. The Hon. Searetaries and general managers were Messrs J. R. James and T. T. Elias, who received the support of several prominent townsmen. Tydfelyn was the adjudicator, and gave the greatest satisfaction, that judicial calmness and impartiality for which he is so renowned never forsaking him. It is fair to say that since the last Eisteddfod held at Cardigan a great improvement is visible in most of the competitions which came off on the platform, and especially in the musical department may be dis- covered signs of an advance and if Eisteddfodau were to be regularly expected and prepared for, there is no doubt that the musical and intellectual wit of the neighbourhood would be rendered keener and finer, and an improvement made in society. About half-past ten o'clock the President, R. D. Jenkins, Esq., preceded by the Llysnewydd Brass Band, who deserve much praise, entered the Hall and took his seat in the presidental chair. The President gave a very brief opening address, by which, he said, he thought he should best consult the wishes of the audience. Against this, however, the audience protested most emphatically. He said-Time waits for no man, and we are now something like halt- an-hour behind the appointed time; and I see by the programme that there are numerous adjudications to be made. I feel that I should be occupying the place of others if I were to try to make a speech, even if I could do so. (Cheers.) I cannot, however, refrain from saying what most of you know if you know me at all, namely, that I am a very warm advocate of Eistedd- fodau. (Applause.) It is, of course, possible to have too many Eisteddfodau, but I do not consider that we in this part of the country have too many; in fact they are rather too infrequent, and looking at the attendance here to-day, it is my opinion, and the opinion of many besides myself, that these meetings ought to be well supported. I also think they are very proper, as forming the channels wherein charity can flow. (Cheers.) Upon this occasion understand the pro- ceeds are intended for educational purposes. Now, I am one of those who have a very strong, decided opinion upon education. It is the greatest blessing to any country. I find on the wall the motto, Gwell synwyr na chyfoeth." (Cheers.) I quite agree with that. Still, there must be education as well as synwyr, or else synwyr will not be properly available. The President then shortly concluded as time ran short. Poetical addresses were delivered to the President, by Mr John George, Llantood. Then followed solo singing by males, 15 competing. The compositions selected ranged from Deryn Pur," and the descrip- tive song, The Wolf," up to, Thou shalt break them; sank again to a kind of vocal jig, called "Ynidaith Mwnc," and another, the solemnity of which would have been overpowering had it not been for the grotesque manner of the singer. The prize of 5s was awarded by Tydbylin, to David Peters, Velindre (Cros y graig), the expositor of "The Wolf." Mrs Jenkins, the Priory, invested. For the best stanza to the life boat; 13 competed, and not one was worth the prize. The proceedings were then enlivened by the very pretty singing of a duet, from Mr Stevens's Storm of Tibereas," from New- castle-Emlyn, the first in a competition for females, (duet) prize 10s. "Come where smiling libenty, Was also very sweetly sung, by two Cardigan girls. The prize was divided between Mair a Martha," and W. W." the first and second parties. J. Thomas, Esq., of Newcastle-Emlyn, investing. A prize of £ i for the best Welsh novel on School Life, brought three competitors, Tom Browne," Mr T. T. Elias, being the winner; he was invested by Mrs Thomas, Cardigan. A competition in extemporary speaking then came off the subject being the Life Boat," which was capitally treated, by three young men, one of whom not inaptly termed it an agent of the Saviour. The prize fell to J. B. Morris, Llandre, Newcastle- Emly n, in_ vested by Miss Evans, Cardigan. The trio competition was very interesting. The first party, from Newcastle- Emlyn, who sung Cefn for glas, under the auspiees of Mr J. Morgan also the second party, who sang, Thou soft flowing Avon, 11 and W. Davies and Co., all sung remarkably well. The prize was awarded to John Llewellyn and Co., Penybryn, who sang the Spider and Fly," and were much praised for their pronunciation. Mrs Mitchell invested. Mr D. Williams adjudicated upon Dictation and Geography; 1 1 27 papers had been sent in. The winner 10 dictation was John Eales, of the Newcastle-Emlyn Grammar School. Mrs George, Newcastle-Emlyn, invested. In geography, John Davies, late of the British School, Cardigan, won the prize from 17 others, and was invested by Miss Morgan, Brooke, near Laugharne An interesting competition in reading music at sight, in which 8 competed, which resulted in the success of "Sambo," and" Homo" John Thomas, Ftynonhowbl, and James Howell, Cardigan invested by Miss M. Lewis, Cardigan. The prize £3 3s for the poem on Ebb and Flow" (4 competitors), fell to "Tom Moore," John Thomas, Blaenmanerch; invested by Mrs James, Cardigan. After this followed another batch of female solo singing, in which several nice songs, and sweet voices were heard. The competitors were of all ages, varying from a child of 10 to a woman of middle age. ihe last was first, namely, Miss oarah Davies Cardigan, who sang the Old arm chair" most beautifully, both as regards voice and expression. She was loudly cheered. The little child alluded to was presented with Is 6d; the president invested. Tydfelyn then adjudicated on the essay on The old Schools." The prize of JE3 3s was divided between Mr T. Elias, and Mr J. C. Roberts, Herald office 6 competitors. Invested by Mrs Jones, Cardigan. Male duets followed, and one or two good things were sung agonised groanings and shrieks from some, and the awfully earnest deportment of others was most amusing, and the last party, which excelled in inferiority, were treated with ironical cheers. The winner was Tom Jones, Newcastle-Emlyn, invested by Miss Ayling, Cardigan. The best glee was produced by John Thomas, Blaenauerch, who received the prize of £ 1 10s at the hands of Mrs Lloyd, Penyralltybie, Newcastle-Emlyn eight competitors. For reciting Mr J. Ceiriog Hughes's stanza to the Toothache, five com- peted, the prize being divided between John Davies, Cardigan, and Thomas Davies, a very small boy from New- castle-Emlyn Miss Lewis, High-street, Cardigan, in. vesting. Choral competition, The Spring," three choirs competed, prize Xio 10s. The first to appear was Newcastle-Emlyn, conducted by that musical veteran, Mr T. Morgan, so well known to all lovers of song in the neighbourhood of Teifi. They fully re- tained the laurels which they acquired at Carmarthen, and sang with a perfection very rarely attained by rural choirs. Their performance was characterised by great precision in time and much good taste the parts were well balanced, and the rich harmonies of the piece received full justice. The timbre of the soprano voices was recognizable at the first bar, and indeed the general quality of voice was remarkably good and showed careful selection. The execution of the piece was polished and chaste in the extreme, and musical it effects" abounded. Llechryd and Cardigan followed, but stood no comparison whatever with Newcastle, either as regarded execution or time. Cardigan, how- ever, seemed superior but Tydfelyn considered the two last equal. He awarded the prize to Newcastle-Emlyn, amidst cheers of approbation. Mr Morgan, the leader, was invested by Mrs Jenkins. A vote of thanks was proposed to the President, by Mr Mitchell, who said Mr Jenkins was always to be found at every meeting likely to result in good of any kind, and always per- I formed his duties so efficiently that there was absolutely nothing to say.—Mr Jenkins briefly replied stating that his satisfaction at the meeting equalled that of the audience. He moved a cordial vote of thanks to Tyd- felyn for the unvarying fairness of his awards in every branch, This was carried with acclamation, and the morning meeting concluded at two o'clock. The afternoon meeting began at 3 o'clock. After the band had opened the proceedings, the president, J. Thomas, Esq., made a very eloquent and humorous Welsh speech. J. B. Morris, and Brythyll Marlais, addressed poems to the President. The prize of 5s, for pianoforte playing, was won by Miss Annie Jones, daughter of Mr D. Jones, tanner; she was invested by Master W. Jones, Cardigan. The prize of 3s, for the best pair of stockings, was won by Eleanor Williams, post office, New Quay. For the best linen shirt, prize 3s, there was no competion. Seven competed for writing music by ear, prize 2s 6d; some had sent in such names as Gladstone and Bright, John Bull, Napoleon, and Abimelech, a selection which caused no little amusement. Thomas Thomas, Emlyn grammar school, was the winner. Miss Howell, Brynterion, invested. Nathaniel Thomas, Newcastle-Emlyn, shared the prize of 15s, for the best song on The Postman," with John xnomas, islaenanerch; invested by Mrs Lewis Lewis, Cardigan. Reading music at sight, for competitors under 16, brought out three aspirants for the prize of 2s 6d; Anne Felix, Cardigan, winning, and being invested by David Emlyn Evans, Newcastle- Emlyn. Mr D. Williams then gave his adjudication on questions in history and arithmetic. Williams, New- castle-Emlyn Grammar School, and William James, Cenarth, were the best in history, out of 10, and a prize was made up for both on the platform, which they received at the hands of Mrs Jones, St. Mary St. In arithmetic 26 competed, and Thomas Rees, Plasnewydd, invested by Mr J. A. Evans, Newcastle-Emlyn. The prize for the best englyn to the Chairman for the morning, was divided between Nathaniel Thomas and John Thomas, Blaenanerch-the former received the prize of 5s from the hand of Miss Evans, Penrallt- cadwgan.

I was coming on Tuesday night week from my work about nine o'clock. I met John Griffiths, John Evans, and John Stephens, in Buckspool road. John Griffiths, and John Evans, caught hold of me, and tried to pull my clothes over my head. John Stephens, pushed them off the next night. I met Griffiths, and Evans, near the Post Office, about the same time, and they took hold of me each by the hand, and Evans swore and said, you will get a summons for me, will you ? They pulled and dragged me along the road twenty or thirty yards, and off the road halfway into Nicholas, the Post Office's garden. They threatened to drag me throught the pond with a horse chain then they left me it lasted about ten minutes. They threw stones at me before.-John Stephens said: I am a farm servant at Mr Hitchings, of Buckspool. The defendants and I were coming up, and complainant coming against us.

Christy's Minstrels paid a visit on Monday evening last when a good number was present, in the Assembly Rooms, to hear them perform. Things passed off well. REV GRATTAN GUINNESS. On Sunday afternoon last, an immense number of persons assembled in and around the Wesleyan chapel, for the purpose of hear- ing a sermon preached by this earnest minister. Unfortunately, rain was coming down in torrents during the time, which prevented an open-air meeting. The discourse was on Faith," which was listened to with eagerness and attention, not a word appearing to be lost. The delivery was marked by great feeling and fervour. PEMBROKE-DOCK.—REV H. GRATTAN GUINNESS. —This soul-stirring and eloquent preacher has delivered during the past. week a number of addresses in this town, both morning and evening, to immense crowds of people from all quarters, and the good apparently done to hundreds of persons, some of the worst of characters being present, is quite observable. TEN BY.-CASTLPNI&ItT IN YEOMANRY CAVALRY.—On Friday last the interesting ceremony of presenting a sword to the respected commandant, Major Baron F. de Rutzen, by the troopers, was performed at Tenby, prior to the dismissal of the corps from their annual training. The whole corps assembled on foot, at the South Parade, from whence they proceeded, headed by their excellent band, to St. Julian-square, where the sword and belts were presented to the Baron by the oldest non-commissioned officer in the corps (Quarter- Master John Griffiths), who, upon the occasion, made a most able speech. He afterwards, assisted by Sergeant- Major Paddon, invested the Baron with the belt and sword, the band meanwhile playing See the conquer- ing hero comes. The Baron, who was visibly aflected, thanked the men for the very highest honour they could have conferred upon him, assuring them that he fully appreciated their kindly feeling, which was reciprocated by him. It was the happiest moment of his life. He felt proud to have the honour of com- manding such a fine and respectable body of men, and he should hand down that sword as an heirloom to his family. (Cheers.) In conclusion he once more begged to thank them for the great honour they had done him, and which he could not find words to sufficiently express. Mr Allen, of Tenby, by the permission of the Baron, took a photograph of the regiment as they stood in the square; the fountain, and the tower of the venerable old Church of St. Mary, forming a good background. The picture was a most successful one. The corps then re-formed and marched through the town, the Baron being at the head of the column to the Parade, where tho mpn were dismissed until next year. The sword and belt, which were exceedingly chaste, handsome, and splendidly embossed, were manufactured by Firmin and Sons, London. Tho following inscription was engraved on the sword Presented to Major Baron de Rutzen by the non-commissioned officers and men of the Castlemartin Yeomanry Cavalry." The annual Vestry for auditing the accounts of the parish of St. Mary, Teuby, was held on Thursday last, the 18th instant, the Rector in the chair. The accounts were minutely examined and compared with the vouchers, and unanimously passed, showing a balance of over Twenty pounds in favour of the parish. The outgoing churchwardens handed over also an inventory of all the property, &c., belonging to the church, com- piled with very great care by Archdeacon Clark, the late Rector, and presented by him to the parish with the request that the same might be placed in the parish chest. The Mayor proposed that the thanks of the parish be tendered to the Archdeacon for so valuable a record and work of reference, which was seconded by the Rector, and carried unanimously. SAUNDERSFOOT.-An inquest was held at this place on Saturday last, on the body of a young man named John Hughes who was accidentaly drowned while bathing on the previous day. The medical man who was present stated as his opinion that deceased had been seized with cramp while in the water. The body was recovered in a very short time 'by a sailor who happened to be near, and who in a skilful and persistent manner used every available means to restore animation Unfortunately, however his efforts were of no avail, the vital spark was extinguised. What adds to the distressing circumstance of the melancholy event is the fact that the poor fellow was the sole support of a widowed mother, with whom he lived. We also regret to have to announce a dastardly act in connection with the sad event. The sailor ( a married man with a large family ), who exerted himself so praiseworthily in endeavouring to save the poor fellow's life, threw his jacket on the ground, and while he was endeavouring to resuscitate the drowned man, some miscreant stole a sovereign from the poor fellow's pocket.

,?, I'? I'll-I'l?", APPROACHING MARRIAGE OF MISS PHILIPPS OF PICTON CASTLE. In view of this auspicious event the principal trades- men of Haverfordwest, and many of the tenants of the Picton Castle Estate, determined to make some Suitable present to Miss Philipps on the occasion. Monday last was selected for the presentation, and Messrs. Robert Greenish, John Brown, Stephen Green and T J. White, were appointed as a deputation from the tradesmen to make the presentation. Mr James, of Woodson, Mr Scale, of Annikeld, and others, representing the tenantry. A massive silver salver was given by the tradesmen; and from the tenantry, a diamond mite, consisting of brace- let, brooch, and earrings, the diamonds being of the first water. The whole were furnished by Mr T. J. White, jeweller, of Haverfordwest. Accompanying the present from the tradesmen there was the following address :—" To Miss Phillips.- Madam,—We, the undersigned tradesmen of Haverford- west, beg to present you on the occasion of your mar- riage with this silver salver, and beg your acceptance of it in token alike of our feeling of respect for your family and earnest and sincere good wishes for your future happiness. In the near approach of an event so aus- picious to your ancient and honourable house, it is im- possible that the inhabitants of the town of Haverford- west, whose history has been so long and so closely con- nected therewith, should not feel more than ordinary interest. Nearly two centuries have passed over without allowing the remembrance of the Good Sir John," whose tomb in the old Church of St. Mary bears a just record of his virtues, to fade from itlie unwritten memo- ries of our neighbourhood, and his successors down to the present generation have well and worthily worn the honours of their race. It is our earnest wish that the inscription engraved on this salver may hand down to future generations the record that your distinguished house, in the person of its present reverend and beloved head, found in this tribute from the trade of Haverford- west, a proof that time had not impaired,or,changes weakened the connection which had so .long and so honourably existed between them." Miss Philipps' reply: Gentlemen,- I beg to thank you very much for the beautiful and handsome wedding present you have made me, and for the good wishes ex- pressed in the address you have now read. You have referred to the Good Sir John," and the honourable and kindly connections which, in his time, existed be- tween the owners of Picton Castle and the trade of the town of Haverfordwest. I find from the records con- tained in the archives of this fine old Castle, that such good feelings have for centuries existed between them. That it now exists, you have, by your kind present, assured me. I sincerely hope, with you, that time and its many changes will in no way lessen our mutual feelings of goodwill. I once more thank you, with all my heart." There was also a suitable address from the peasantry, to which Miss Philipps also gave a feeling reply. The members of the deputations were then invited to take luncheon, which was of a most sumptuous cha- racter, and was presided over by the agents of the estate, Messrs Goode and Owen.

THE IRISH CHURCH.—EXTRAORDINARY MEETING. -On Tuesday night the most extraordinary meeting hitherto held, in England at least, on the Irish Church came off at the Hanover-square Rooms, under the presi- dency of Mr W. Harper, Grand Master of the Orange lodges of Great Britain. A little before eight o'clock a procession entered at the door of the room farthest from the platform, and advanced to the other end with heavy martial tread. It was headed by two Chelsea pensioners with drawn swords, who gave their orders to their improvised forces with most amusing solemnity. They were followed by the brethren of the Orange organization, who wore sashes and other decorations on which designs in the well-known Protestant" colours were brilliantly emblazoned. Some two or three of the number carried Bibles on cushions which, with the swords of the Cbelsea veterans, were afterwards arranged as trophies on the table at which the Grand Master presided. At the back of the chairman's seat, stood a large ornament, apparently representing a triumphal arch, and on its panels the words Aughrim" and The Boyne" were prominently inscribed. The body of the ball was about three parts filled by an audience of which the great majority were women, in whose dress the orange colours constituted the principal embellishments. On the procession reaching the platform the audience indulged in several rapid rounds of Kentish fire, after which the proceedings of the meeting were opened by prayer. At its conclusion the chairman, in opening the regular business of the meeting, said he had to mention before alluding to the particular occasion for which they had assembled, that he had in his his hand a plan of an Orange organization for women, which would be established for the purpose of promoting every anti- Papal, anti-Puseyite, and anti-infidel movement inaugurated in these countries. Addressing himself to the object for which they had met that evening, he said that they had been lately startled by the declaration of war against the Irish Church-one of the purest Churches which ever existed, and of which the mem- bers were always loyal to England when their opposi- tion or even neutrality would have lost Ireland to the empire. The attack on the Establishment in Ireland was a conspiracy to barter away the Church to the Roman Catholics of the empire. But they were pre- pared to stand by it to the very death, tie did not acknowledge the right of the House of Lords or the House of Commons to abolish the Irish Establish- ment; and he bel,eved that if its existence were threatened the loyal citizens of the empire would be justified in drawing the sword in its defence, and in standing in battle array against the men who had assailed it. He trusted, however, that all the efforts of the revolutionary party would be frustrated, and that the spirit of the people would rise to that good old Protestant standard. The chairman, who spoke for fully an hour, was frequently interrupted by rounds of cheering and Kentish fire. Several other addresses were then delivered in which the policy of No Sur- render" was most vehemently advocated. The speeches were interspersed with what were called Protestant melodies, which embodied the novel information that the cry of No Popery" was "our watchword at Waterloo," that it was echoed by the winds which wrecked the Armada on the main," and that it was whizzed through the air by every shot that wrecked the tyrant's ranks" at the Battle of the Boyne. A correspondent thus describes the life of the Emperor Napoleon and his family at Fontainebleau: The Emperor lives in the strictest seclusion, and works hard, as usual. He is assisted by two secretaries, MM. Conti and Pietri (both Corsicans), and the Ministers come every day to confer with him from Paris. The Emperor and Empress rise very early then go for a walk in the park, and breakfast with the Prince Imperial at eleven in the Chinese saloon-a room full of valuable Chinese furniture, pagodas, vases, idols, jewels, arms, &c., arranged in a most tasteful manner. After breakfast the Emperor gives audiences, and when these are over either goes to the library or drive. in the forest. Meanwhile the Prince Imperial is busily engaged in his studies and scientific experiments. He has much taste for science lately, especially since he has been under the care of his present tutor General Frossard, who was formerly director of the Poly- technic school. Just before dinner, their Majesties and the rest of the court again meet in the Chinese saloon. Dinner is served at half-past seven in the galerie de Diane, a magnificent apartment, the windows of which look out upon the conservatories, the park, and the forest. The Emperor and Empress retire early. The Emperor's cabinet, which adjoins the sleeping apart- ments, is the room in which Napoleon I. signed his abdication. The table still bears the mark of the pen- knife with which he scratched it savagely at this im- portant moment of his life, and the legs of the sofa on which he sat show traces of his spurs. On the wall is hung the well-known portrait of Napoleon I., by Gros, representing the Emperor reading despatches, with the young King of Rome on his knee. In the sleeping apartment is the same state bed as had before been slept in bv Napoleon I., Louis XVI., Charles X., and Louis Philippe. The Empress's room is bung with mag- nificent silk drapery, presented to the wife of Louis XVI. by the town of Lyons, is known as the room of the Five Maries-having been successively occupied by Mary de Medicis, Marie Therese, Marie Antoinette, Marie Louise, and Marie Amelie. Its present occupier is another Marie, the Empress's name being Marie Eugenie."
