At present there are no signs of a contest at the approaching election of councillors for this borough. In the eastern ward the retiring councillors are Mr Stedman Thomas, Mr W. J. Morgan, and Mr John Thomas, Fountain Villa, the latter of whom, it is said; retires. Mr Armstrong has removed from the borough, causing a second vacancy, and these two vacancies it is rumoured will be filled by Mr D. Lewis, King-street, and Mr Lester. In the western ward the retiring councillors are Mr J. Howell Thomas, Mr Mostyn Davies, and Mr D. Edwards. At present there are no signs of opposition to their return. COUNTY ROADS BOARD.—At this board, held on Wednesday last, there were present, D. Lewis, Esq., chairman; Col. Lewes, David Pug h, Esq., Campbell Davys, Esq., Capt. Davies, J. Jennings, Esq., Capt. Philipps, C. W. Nevill, Esq., Charles Bishop, Esq., J. K. Hand, Esq., D. Jones, Esq., and General Wortham. It appeared that a District Roads Board had written to the clerk requesting him to ask the County Board to consider the propriety of defraying the costs of the prosecution of Richard Williams, sentenced summarily to four months' imprisonment under 24 and 25 Vic c loo, s. 43, for an aggravated assault upon Mary Richard' toll collector at Cwmfehn gate, near Spitty works. The amount of the costs was C7 28 6d. Mr J. H Rees had written to the clerk expressing an opinion that as the woman was employed in protecting the interests of the Roads Board, when the assault was committed the costs might very properly be paid. Mr Spurrrel had replied to the clerk of the District Board stating that as the case had been put into the hands of a policeman, and as the prosecution had been laid under the Act named, the Board would probably not consider it right to pay the costs, which would more properly come out of the county rate, in connection with extraordinary services performed by the rural police. It was resolved that the Board did not feel authorised to pay the costs in question.—Permission was given to the proprietors of the Star Colliery to put a shoot for discharging coal from the side of the turn- pike road to the Trimsaran road, provided the work be done to the surveyor's satisfaction.—The Surveyor had been requested to report whether Jolly and Spudder's bridges over the Burry Port and Gwendraeth Valley Railway had been duly completed. General Wortham said the approaches had not been completed and it was resolved that unless the previous resolution of the Board be carried out by the 21st of October, the clerk should take steps to enforce the work being done. WIth respect to the protection of the turnpike road near Pont-Rhyd-Owen, General Wortham said the committee appointed had made no arrangement, and he suggested that the clerk draw the attention of the Highway Boards to the dangerous state of the road with the hope that it will be attended to without the least possible delay. It was a com- plicated business. It was a matter in which the whole hundred was concerned, and there was a little difference of opinion amongst the various boards. The river was fast wearing the road away. The Board passed a resolution embodying General Worthams's suggestion. -The proprietors of the Pwll colliery, Messrs Elkington and Co., applied for leave to make a com- munication between their winding shaft and the ventilating shaft- They wanted to cross the turnpike road but they would make the connection without interfering with the convenience of the public, and would do it in six days. They enclosed a plan. The application was grantecl.-The Chairman asked Mr Barret, one of the surveyors, whether the Pwll colliery was in compliance with the Act of Parliament; that was, could it be seen over the wall. The Clerk said the 27 and 28 Vic, c. 75, s. 1, required all engines, &c., to be erected at least 25 yards from a turnpike road, unless within a house or behind a high wall or screen, so as not to be dangerous to cattle. Mr Barret, after some hesitation, said there was a high wall between the road and the engine; but he would not say it was quite high enough. The Chairman said that last year Mr Elkington's own horse ran away with him, from fright of the engine. Mr Novill said the engine was in a house at a distance from the road. The pit was close to the road; but there was a high wall. Mr Barret said the wall was about ten feet high. The Chairman said persons passing could see the piston. Mr Hand said they might see the beam, or pump. Mr Nevill said they could also see the pullies which were not calculated to frighten any horse. Mr Barret said it was a bad place for frightening a horse but he fancied the noise frightened horses more than anything else. His horse was sometimes frightened when passing there, because of the noise. The Chair- man asked Mr Barret to report upon it. Mr Hand said the wall was sufficiently high and if the beam could be seen it would not frighten any horse. The horses were probably frightened, if frightened at all, by the noise of the high pressure engine for winding up the coal.—The Board then considered the surveyors' reports of the tolls collected at the several gates, and made arrangements for collecting the tolls in 1870 this was done with closed doors, but it was resolved Unless the tolls be let at not less than the amounts decided upon by the Board, they be collected by the surveyors and collectors employed for the purpose LLANNON.—FIKE.—On Tuesday the outhouses of Cilddewi-ucha farm accidentally took fire, and were burnt to the ground. Through the exertions of the neighbours the farm-house was saved. LL A N ELL Y.-MECHANICS INSTITUTION. — On Thursday evening last, an adjourned committee meet- ing was held in the Nevill Memorial Rooms, to consider the applications for the curatorship.

Mr Richard Norman, of the Llanelly Copper Works School Science Classes, passed his examination before the Bristol Local Marine Board, as only mate. He is the son of Mr John Norman, Felinfoel. LIGHT! MORE LicilIT! !-We are much pleased to observe that Stepney Place was lit up with gas last week, for the first time, there are two or three other benighted places close by which we hope the Board will not forget, now that they are in a generous mood to give "light! more light" FATAL ACCIDENT. On Wednesday last, a young man named James Clunch, of Falmouth, a mariner, .on board the schooner, Trevanance," of St. Agnes, fell over board into the sea between Pembrey and Llanelly, near No. 7 buoy, on the way to the Copper Works dock, and was drowned. The body has not yet been recovered, but not much search was made for it. DAFEN SCHOOL-CHURCH. — 'HARVEST THANKS- GIVING SERVICES.—On Wednesday last, thanksgiving services were held at this School-Church, when an eloquent Welsh sermon was preached by the Rev Henry Jones, vicar of Llangadock. SHOCKING ACCIDENT AT PENYBONT COLLIERY, NEAR LLWYNHENDY.—A shocking accident befel William Harry, who is 20 years of age, on Monday last. A short distance from the colliery there is an "air-pit" in connection with the works, and he was preparing to go down to his work, he had opened the daor-a strong wind blowing at the time—when it fell in, striking him to the bottom of the pit. He received severe internal injuries, and but little hopes are entertained of his recovery. LLANDILO. -TABERNACLE CHAPEL.—On Sunday and Monday last the anniversary meetings were held, when the Rev R. Hughes, Beaufort, and the Rev Pro- fessor Morgan, of Carmarthen, preached in the morning and afternoon and the Rev D. C. Jones, of Abergwilly, and the Rev R. Hughes, in the evening.

ICARMARTHENSHIRE QUARTER SESSIONS.¡
I CARMARTHENSHIRE QUARTER SESSIONS. The court opened at Carmarthen, on Thursday. The magistrates present were-D. Pugh, Esq. (in the chair), the Right Hon. the Earl of Cawdor, Sir John Mansel, Bart., J. Jones, Esq., M.P., W. R. H. Powell, Esq., J. Beynon, Esq., the Ven. Archdeacon of Carmarthen, R. Goring Thomas, Esq., J. L. G. P. Lewis, Esq., Capt. Davies, Col. Stepney, M.P., Capt. Cross, Col. Lewes, R. Jennings, Esq., Capt. Lloyd, C. W. Novill, Major Watkins, E. J. Sartoris, Esq., M.P., W. Morris, Esq., Grismond Philipps, Esq., W. W. E. B DuBuisson, Esq., H. S. Morgan, Esq., W. E. B Gwyn, Esq., Timothy Powell, Esq., and Capt. Philipps. The following were qualified :—Capt. E. Gower, Isaac Horton, Esq., and A. H. Jones, Esq. At the opening of the Court, Earl Cawdor announced that owing to the absence of Mr Johnes, their excellent chairman, through ill health, an absence which they would all regret, be should move that Mr Pugh take the chair for the day. Mr Goring Thomas seconded this motion, which was carried. DEATH OF LORD DYNEVOR. Earl Cawdor-If I may be allowed to do so, I shall ask leave to transgress the rules of the court, and pro- pose a motion for adoption by the court, of which no notice has been given. There is nobody in the county, I am sure, but has heard with deep regret of the death of our lamented old friend, Lord Dynevor—(hear, hear)-and I am confident that I am only construing correctly the feeling of the magistrates of this county, when I say that they would be very sorry, on the first occasion of their meeting after this lamented event had taken place, to part without taking some notice of that which we all so deeply deplore. I have taken the liberty of drawing up, somewhat hastily, a resolution which I shall be very glad if anybody will amend, attempting to express our feelings, and I should ven- ture to suggest that if that motion is carried, the chair- man should be requested to communicate the resolution to Lady Dynevor. (Hear, hear). I have not been able to charge my memory with the exact dates, nor can I say how long ago it is since Lord Dynevor first com- menced public life in this county. In fact, it goes back beyond almost the memory of anyone present but I believe he first became Member for this County in 1822. From that time to the time of his lamented death, he never ceased to take an active part in the public busi- ness of the country and even those who differed from him in political opinion, will always give him credit for sincerity of conduct, and admit that he was actuated by the best motives in the part he took in conducting public business. You all know, as well as I do, the many acts of charity and benevolence with which his name is connected in this county. Those acts of generosity, it is unnecessary to allude to here but they are known to many. I have ventured to draw up with very great haste the following resolution That the Magistrates of the County of Carmarthen have heard with deep regret of the death of Lord Dynevor, and cannot allow the first time of their meeting together in Quarter Sessions, to pass by without record- ing their sense of the loss wnich the county has sus- tained in being deprived of the services of one whose time and abilities were always devoted to the discharge of public duties, and who secured for himself the esteem and respect of persons of all classes, and of all opinions" (hear, hear.) If that resolution should be carried, I shall venture to propose that the Magistrates of the County of Carmarthen, request the Chairman Jto forward the resolution to Lady Dynevor. I am sure, then, this motion will be carried unanimously. Sir James Hamilton-Although I could not hope to add anything to that which has been so feelingly ex- pressed by your lordship, yet, as I had the privilege of being acquainted with the late Lord Dynevor for many years before it was my good fortune to be connected with this county, perhaps I may be permitted to second this resolution, and to corroborate the sentiments which have been so gracefully expressed by your lordship. It is not my intention, and it surely would be alike superfluous and presumptuous in any man in an as- sembly of Carmarthenshire magistrates, to offer any laboured eulogy, any studied panegyric on the character of the late Lord Dynevor and the many claims which he had to our esteem and regard (hear, hear). I would merely make this observation—that in every relation of life his lordship has bequeathed to us an example worthy of our very closest imitation (hoar, hear). He was at all times courteous and conciliatory as a neigh- bour he was at all times firm, just, and impartial as a magistrate he was at all times kind and benevolent as a landlord. He was a liberal supporter of all our charitable institutions, and during the many years that he was a representative of this county, and subse- quently, when he was elevated to a higher sphere, he never ceased to advance the interests of the county by every means in his power. Such is the man, my lord', who has now passed away from amongst us for ever a man whose loss, I am sure, we all very deeply mourn. He has been taken away at a mature old ago in the enjoyment of universal respect. He has gently sunk into an everlasting rest, and amidst the tears of his countrymen he has descended into an honoured grave. But, my lord, our noble friend, though dead, still lives he lives in the affectionate remembrance of all who knew him he lives in the fond recollection of a grateful, a happy, and a contented tenantry he lives in the poor man's heart; and his memory is enshrined in the breast of his bereaved widow and his sorrowing children. I need say no more, my lord, save that when we call to mind the many virtues of our departed friend, when we call to mind his unwearied zeal in doing good, his untiring benevolence, his unvarying courtesy, his un- obtrusive piety, his boundless charity, we may exclaim in' sorrow and in truth—Ne'er shall we look upon his like again ? I beg to second the resolution. The Chairman-I can only say that I entirely concur in everything that has been said in praise of the late Lord Dynevor. I can add nothing to it,,without', going into wearisome repititions. I shall have great pleasure in carrying out the wishes of the Bench, and convey- ing the resolution to Lady Dynevor. The motion was then put and carried. The remainder of the report, which is of very little interest, is deferred.

It is said that Alderman William H. Lewis, Pembroke Dock, will be mayor for the ensuing year. The mayors for the past few years have been elected from the Pembroke ward, and it is very generaly felt that the civic chair, upon this occasion, should be occupied by a gentleman of the Pembroke Dock ward. The retiring members for this ward are Messrs. G. W. Phillipps, James Braham, and Alexander Jermyn, all of whom seek to be re-elected. There is also a fresh candidate, Mr John Inman Finch- am, the recently superannuated master builder of the dockyard. Our own correspondent writes, yester- day :-The approaching contest for municipal honours promises to be most exciting in either ward of the borough and we learn that several candidates will be put forward whose claims are such as to render the return of some of the old members extremely doubtful. Amongst ths present representatives there appears to be a great diversity of opinion as to who shall be mayor for the coming year. Mr W. H. Lewis has friends who think him eligible, and who desire that the next chief magistrate shall be chosen from Pembroke- Dock, while there are dessentients who intend to put forward another from that ward, and thereby to divide the interests and secure the selection of the present mayor, which would give unqualified satisfaction to the public at large. Mr Thomas has discharged the duties with dignity and honour, and with so much distinction as to justify his re-election. Indeed, it is a compli- ment he thoroughly deserves. A NEW CHURCH AND UNION OF PARISHES.—Many of our readers will learn with surprise that an idea is entertained to unite the parishes of St Mary and St Michael, and that a new church shall be built so centrally situated as to accommodate the parisbioners of both parishes, and where both the morning and evening services shall be held instead of the objection- able practice of holding them alternately as at present. What rendeis such a thing desirable to a great many church-goers, is the fact that some parishioners, and more especially those residing at the East End, monopolise the best seats in both churches, although ratepayers in only one parish. That such a change is contemplated we are assured, and that plans for the building have actually been obtained from the office of an eminent London Architect but we entertain some doubt whether the means will be equally readily found to carry out the project. BODY FOUND.—The body of a man entirely naked, and much decomposed, was discovered washed on shore at East Trewent cliff, on Thursday afternoon by Mr B Samways, head gamekeeper to Earl Cawdor, and Mr Woo. Beynon, Bangeston farm, to which farm house the body was conveyed, and was interred at Stackpole Elidor graveyard, on Sunday afternoon. PETTY SESSIONS.—On Saturday before N. A. Roche, Esq., W. Hulm, Esq., and the Rev R. J. H. Thomas. George Parcel was charged by the overseers of Coches. ton with nonpayment of Poor and Highway Rates.— Distress warrant ordered for payment of rates and costs. -On Saturday, before N. A. Roch, Esq., W. Hulm, Esq., and the Rev R. J. H. Thomas. Charles Sullivan v. James Rees for an assault on the 9th inst., and James
