CARMARTHEN PETTY SESSIONs.-These sessions were held on Saturday last, before Sir J. J. Hamilton, bart., Captain Davies, Grismond Philipps, and Richard Jen- nings, Esqrs. There were no cases of any public interest. -On Tuesday last, before W. G. Hughes, Esq., two tramps, named James Hagreen and Thomas Johnson, discharged soldiers, were charged by P.C. Howell Evans, with begging at different places, in the parish of Abergwili. Committed to prison for 21 days each.. A WELSH MOTTO IN AMERICA.—A literary society in Philadelphia has named itself after our Poet Laureate, and the Secretary of the Tennysonian insti- tute wrote to the p)et for a motto. Mr Tennyson, in reply, recommended them a Welsh motto. Will the following Welsh motto be of any service to you ?" he asks, I have it in encaustic tiles on the pavement of my hall: Y gwyr yn erbyn y byd.' A very old apophthegm and I think a noble one, and which may serve your purpose either in Welsh or English." BOROUGH TOLLS.—These tolls were put up to auction on Wednesday, in the Council Chamber, by Mr Morris Evans. The dues arising from the markets and slaughter-houses were knocked down to Mr George Jones, of Cardiff, who however did not sign the requisite bonds, and forfeited his deposit money. The tolls were then let to Messrs Percy and Davies, the next highest bidders, for XI,440, being an advance of 190 upon the sum for which they were last year let. The crane, weighing machine, &c., were let to Mr Adam Williams, for £ 62, being X23 less than the bidding of last year. COUNTY ROADS BOARD. THE TOLL BARS.—A meeting of the County Roads Board was held at the Shire Hall, in this town, on Wednesday last, for the purpose of letting to farm the tolls arising from the turnpike gates in the county. There were present-Sir John Mansel, Bart, (in the chair), R. Jennings, Esq Gellydeg, J. H. Rees, Esq., Kilymaenllwyd, and Com- mander G. Philipps. There was a very good attendance of bidders, and quite an average amount of "chaff." The only district let was the Three Commote, which was knocked down to Mr James Percy for £ 2,200. The reserved sums for the other two districts were not reached, although resort was had to the forms of tender. The meeting was therefore adjourned to the first of De- cember, when the Carmarthen and Llandovery districts will be again offered for public competition. ABERGWILLY FAIR.—This fair on Wednesday was very well supplied with store cattle, for which there was a brisk demand. Two year old steers fetched prices ranging from ;CIO up to X18, and heifers of the same age from d68 up to £ 12. Yearling steers ranged from JE7 10s to £9 10s. There were very few cows and calves brought to the fair. There was a good demand for them, and those sold fetched from P,10 to S14. Fat stock was scarce, and in brisk demand at from 5d to 6d per lb. Horses, too, were scarce, particularly that class most required—good, usesul horses, fitted for agricultu- ral purposes. Promising two year colts of this class readily fetched from X18 to X20. There was really no demand for inferior animals, of which there was a great many on offer. LECTURE.—A lecture in Welsh, the subject being Cymeriadau Annymunol, was delivered at Priory- street Baptist Chapel, on Wednesday evening last, by the Rev J. R. Morgan (Lleurwg), of Llanelly. The Rev Professor Morgan, of Union-street, occupied the chair, and briefly introduced the lecturer to the audience —a large and respectable one. The rev. lecturer was in one of his happiest moods, and delivered a most able lecture, the proceeds of which are to be divided between the Rev Nathaniel Thomas, of Cardiff, towards his heavy legal expenses in the case Lyon v. Thomas," and the Rev William Lewis, baptist minister, of Velin- voel, Llanelly. Mr Lewis (who is a native of Carmar- then) has for some time been suffering fiom almost total blindness, and, in addition to this sad affliction, he has of late become wholly deaf. We hear that the lec- ture realized about £18. THE "HOPE" PRISONERS.—We have been favoured bv Sir T. D. Lloyd, M.P., with the following letter, t. h he has received, respecting the trial of the Ii e" e prisoners: "Secretary's Office, Gibraltar, 1869 p S' -With reference to my letter of the 11th September'last, relating to William Thomas, 1. Thomas, and William Evans, I am directed by His Excellency, the Acting Governor, to acquaint you, for the informa- tion of the persons interested m their case, that under instructions pe the Board of Trade, communicated in 1OstructlOns from t e f S1 te for the Colonies a despatch from the Secretary of Statefor the Colonies, dated 8th October, 1869, the trial of the Hop. prisoners will take place in Gibraltar, in the usual course, and that the necessary steps are being taken tor holding a session, which will accordingly commence on the 16th November next, when the trial of the prisoners may be at once proceeded with.—I have the honour to be, Sir, your most obedient servant, R. L. L. LUGUES, Colonial Secretary.—Sir Thomas Davies Lloyd, bart., J.P., M.P. for Cardigan, Wales. THE MAYORALTY.—It has been arranged that the present mayor, shall be re-elected, Mr Lewis, at the solicitation of several of the more influential council- lors having consented to his re-election. THE MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS.—Contrary to ex- pectations, the last few days have brought out the largest number of candidates for municipal honours we ever remember to have seen in this borough. As we stated last week, the retiring councillors in the Western ward are Mr J. Howell Thomas, Mr Mostyn Davies, and Mr David Edwards. Mr Mostyn Davies does not seek to be re-elected for the Western ward. but has issued an address to the electors of the Eastern ward, giving no reason for the change. Mr J. Howell Thomas and Mr Edwards appeal to their former constituents, though Mr Thomas does not prosecute a persoual canvass. Having so recently can- vassed the electors, he relies upon his merits, and the approval of his conduct by those who sent him to represent them some nine or ten months ago. The new candidates are Mr Richard Thomas (of the firm of Thomas and Phillips, London House), Mr E. H N. Davies, Union-street, Mr T. Hodge Lewis, Nott-square, Mr J. Davies, Quay-street, and Mr Isaac Jones, Water-street. In the eastern ward, one of the retiring councillors, Mr J. Thomas, Fountain Villa, does not seek re-election. The other retiring councillors, Mr Stedman Thomas, and Mr W. J. Morgan, appeal to the electors for a renewal of their suffrages and the new candidates are Mr Lester, Furnace Lodge, and Mr Mostyn Davies. The vacancy in this ward, caused by the removal of Mr Armstrong, will be filled by Mr D. Lewis, King-street, who is un- opposed. In fact, Mr Lewis is so popular in this ward, and throughout the town generally, that any opposition to his return would be futile. The town is full of pla- cards, a good deal of excitement prevails, and an active canvass is being carried on in both wards. There is an entire absence of political feeling, parties of opposite political opinion working cheerfully together in each ward, and there appears to bs a general desire to return as representatives those most fitted to transact the im- portant business that falls to the Town Council. The very best humour prevails. The number of voters has been increased under the new Act, by about 700, and the lady voters number about one in five on the register. We may here mention that although it will be necessary for the electors to record their votes personally, the business at the poll will have all the privacy of the ballot, as the names of the candi- dates for whom the elector votes will not be made known to the public. LLANDEBIE.—SUDDEN DEATH.—On the 19th inst., about 5 p.m., a man was found by the toll gate keeper, Thomas Rees, of the above place, lying face downward, on the side of tbe road. He immediately procured assistance to turn him, and rubbed his temples and wrists with cold water, but all to no purpose, as the man was dead. He was removed to the Golden Grove Arms, where he was identified by several parties as Mr Lewis Davies, brewer and maltster, Llandovery, a man of very temperate and steady habits, and about 40 years of age. He had started from home in the morning in good health, and the first notice of ill-health in him, was taken by some school boys, who met him within 300 yards of the place where he was found and when he walked slowly, as if with difficulty, and also appeared very pale. It was mentioned by his father-in-law at the inquest before J. Rowlands, Esq., on Thursday, the 21st, that the deceased was apt to complain of a pain in the chest after violent exertion, either in walking or running. It is thought from this that he must have over-exerted himself on that day in order to complete his rounds before the train was due at Llandebie. He leaves a widow with seven children. PEMBREY.—APPOINTMENT OF COLLIERY MANAGER. —Mr John G. Thomas, for 13 years in the employ of the Governor Company of Copper Miners at Cwmafon, has been appointed Manager at Messrs Elkington and Co.'s Collieries at Pembrey. LLANELLY. — FAREWELL CONCERT. — On Friday evening last Mr B. A. Scourfield, of the New Dock British School, gave a farewell concert at Siloah chapel, previous to his departure from this town. He was as- sisted by Miss Bowen, Mr Gwilym Phillips, Mr Thomas Davies (bass) and the chapel choir. There was a large audience present and the concert passed off on the whole well. Mr J. D. Bowen was the accompanyist. HIGHWAY OFFENCE. P.Q» Morris Price charged John R. Waddle, Llanelly, Ironfounder with allowing his cart to be used without having his name painted thereon, at Burry Port, Pembrey, on the loth instant. Fined 2s 6d and costs. PETTY SESSIONS.—On Wednesday, before Col. Step- ney, M.P., W. Nevill, Esq., W. H. Nevill, Esq., and E. J. Sartoris, Esq., M.P., John Davies and Thomas Hart, Water-street, and Thomas Poyer, Mill Lane, glover, were charged with being drunk and riotous on the 18th instant. They were fined 5s and costs each, or in default thereof, seven days' imprisonment.— Mary McCarty, Sea Side, Llanelly, charged Jermiah McCarty, her husband, with assaulting her, on the 12th instant. Fined 5s and costs.—Elizabeth Rees, wife of Tnomas fiees, Tymawr, Llanelly, charged Mary Ann Bowen, wife of Mr Bowen, Wern, Llanelly, with as- saulting her, at Llanelly, on the 12th inst. Dismissed. PARK CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH ANNIVERSARY SER- VICES.—The anniversary services of this chapel were held on Sunday last, when sermons were preached by the Rev J. H. Lochore, the minister, in the morning and evening, after which collections were made, amount- ing altogether to about £57. On the previous Friday evening the annual tea meeting of the scholars and teachers, as well as friends, of the Sunday school, was held in the schoolroom. A very pleasant and interest- ing evening was spent. CONSECRATION OF th PETER'S CHURCH.—This church, which was built in the parish of St Paul's, for the English congregation, who usually attended that church, was opened about three years ago, by the Ven. Archdeacon Williams, the debt having now been nearly paid, was consecrated on Friday last. The morning service commenced about half-past 11 a.m., when the Bishop, attended by about 20 clergymen, wearing their surplices, walked down the aisle, and then returned reading the 24th Psalm, and proceed- ing to the chancel, took their seats within the com- munion rails. The consecration ceremony was then proceeded with. The petition requesting the Bishop to do so was presented by Col Stepney, M.P. Mr Valentine Davis, the registrar, read the deed, and the Bishop said the prayers. The usual morning service was then read the prayers were said by the Rev D. L. Williams, B.D., Vicar of St Paul's, and the Litany was said by the Curate, the; Rev E. Lloyd Davies the first lesson was read by the Rev David Williams, B.D., Vicar of the Town Parish Church, and the second by the Rev Latimer M. Jones, B.D., Vicar of St Peter's Church, Carmarthen. The Bishop read the com- munion service, and the Epistle was read by the Rev E. B. Squire, Vicar of Swansea, and the Gospel by the Rev Dr Griffiths, Vicar of Llandilo. The Bishop then preached a most appropriate and masterly discourse delivered in his usual style of earnest and persuasive eloquence. Holy communi^ on was afterwards celebrated, the Ven. Archdeacon of Carmarthen taking part in the service. The musical arrangements were auder tbe superintendence of Mr James LI. Williams, who usually presides at the har- monium, and the chants and hymns, &c., were rendered by the St. Peter's Churcb Choir, assisted by some of the St. Paul's and Town Church Choirs. The following is the music :— Venite, Hayes in F; Te Deum, Helmore; Jiibilati, Ouseley in A; Kyrie, Mendelsohn Gloria, before the Gospel, ad the 100th Psalm was sung before the sermon, andalsohymn 455from Kemble's hymns was sung previously during the service. In the evening at 8.30. another English service was held when the Rev D. Cooper, M.A., of Bristol, preached an eminently practical sermon Two Welsh sermons were preached at St. Paul's on the previous evening (Thursday), by the Rev E. Thomas, vicar of Skewen and the Rev M. Evans, Llanddewibrefi,andon Friday night two excellent Welsh sermons were preached in the same place by the Rev H. Jones, St. Dogmells, and Dr Griffiths, vicar of Llandilo. The Litany was said by the Rev Daniel Lewis, curate of St. David's, Carmarthen, and two or three hymns were sung, Miss Emily Williams, presiding at the organ. Whenever Dr Griffiths is preaching there is sure to be a crowd to listen to him, and so it was on this occasion ■ every corner of the church was crowded as he is an especial favourite in Llanelly amongst all classes. The sermon was most eloquent and practical and rivetted everybody's attention. Mr Jones' sermon was good and was well delivered. About £40 was collected at both churches to clear off the debt still remaining. Miss WATTS'S GRAND EVENING CONCERTS.—Two con- certs were given here, one at the AthenEeum, and the other at Capel Newydd, on Monday and Tuesday even- ings last respectively, by Miss Watts, now of London, assisted by the Capel Newydd Choir. Miss Watts has always been a great favourite in this to wn ever since she was very young (about 13 yeais of age), as she sang here then in a concert given by Abraham Bowen's Dowlais Glee Party, and which was about the first time she did sing alone, and ever since then the people of Llanelly have had a lively and favourable recollec- tion of the then child, who displayed such remarkable musical power and ability. She has been here twice since, and was to have sung at a grand concert this spring, but she was indisposed at the time and her place wae taken by Miss Burks, of London. Her appearance, on this occasion, was hailed with joy, and she received a most warm and flattering reception when she made her appearance, and in her singing each evening-more especially Tuesday, she fully sustained her great reputa- tlon and justified the highest enconiums passed upon hC a singer of a high order. The Athen?um on Monday evening, was crowded to excess, despite the Eo???T??ed, every seat in the front being occupied and the others comfortably full. Miss vf' "The' 7? ?" (Cheruhin) Welsh • Cuck00> and an Italian song, ?Ve?neti- an ai- r with variations" (Paer) and ? ? English ballad, "The Three Ravens." She was enthusiastically encored in each of the three last and she kmdly complied by repeating them or parts of +tVhmerirn f accompanying herself on the pianio occasionally. We hardly know which to admire most, the brilliant though difficult execution of the Venetian air, with variations, which was in one word grand, or the devout solemn strains of the solo, "Ave Maria," the lively and very pretty Welsh "Cuckoo" song with its extraordin- ary variations and imitations which she did so well, and last but by no means least the tender, pathetic old English ballad The Three Ravens." Each one had something peculiar to recommend it and Miss Watts does not sing mechanically, but enters deeply and fully into the spirit of all she sings, gives such expression as the music and words require, and she distinctly enun- ciates her words both in the Welsh and English. The applause given each time was hearty in the extreme, and there was no mistaking the demands for encores as they came from every part of the room and would not take a refusal. We omitted to state that Miss Watts in answer to one of the encores sang the well-known Welsh song, Y Fwyalchen" (" The Blackbird") which was much enjoyed. On the following evening she again appeared in Capel Newydd and, if anything, was more successful than at the Atheneum, having selected two sacred pieces for singing, and those who did not attend both concerts (large numbers had done so though) lost a treat. She sang "Jerusalem, thou that killest the Prophets" (Mendelssohn), "Rejoice Greatly" (Handel), Di Tanti Palpiti" (Rossini), and the favourite Welsh song, The Cuckoo." She was of course received with loud applause, and was rapturously encored in the three last, and she again kindly complied by repeating partll of them. We must say that the audience made exuber- ant demands upon her powers, but it was all enjoyed very much. We need hardly say that she did ample justice to Mendelssohn's grand solo, Jerusalem, &c. and without going so far as to state that Rossini's song, Di tanti Palpiti," was sung to perfection, it was sung so near to it as to leave little or no room for improve- ment, the power of her voice and the brilliancy of her execution in this, as well as in Rejoice greatly," were extraordinary, and astonished everybody. We can un- hesitatingly state that no professional singers who have been here during these last five years, have sung better, if so good, as they lacked her power. In the other songs, which were Welsh, Miss Watts fairly carried the audience with her, even those who did not understand Welsh. She possesses the marvellous power of singing right to the heart, in fact, of melting the people. We hope that her future career will be as successful as she,so fully deserves, and judging from her performances here, it cannot fail to be otherwise than a great success. Miss Bowen, a native of Llanelly, sang at the Athenasum, How dreary to my heart" (Wallace), and He's coming home" (Halley); also at Capel Newydd, she sang Coming of the Flowers" (Wallace), Thro' the Valley" (Gang). She received an encore for the last song, and for He's coming home," and she repeated them. Her singing was much appreciated by the audience on both occasions, and she has vastly improved of late. Mr R. Jenkins sang at the Athenseum, "The Bellringer" (Wallace), and Will o'tbe Wisp" (Chevry), and he also joined Mrs David Williams in the duet, Gipsy Countess" (Glover.) He afterwards sang at Capel Newydd, Man the Life Boat" (Russell), and Why do the Nations" (Handel), and he again joined Mrs Williams in a duet, The murmuring Sea" (Glover.) He possesses a good bass voice, and with little more practice will doubtless become a good singer, but he requires far more confidence and energy than be has now, and that he must cultivate. He received an encore for Will o'the Wisp. The chapel choir, led by Mr Evan Samuel, sang a variety of pieces, glees, choruses, and part songs, but they were not at all successful; they require considerably more practice and better training before they will ever make any impression on an audience, who go to hear professionals, such as Miss Watts has proved herself to be. Mr J. D. Bowen ably presided at the pianoforte, at both concerts. LLANSA WEL.-NEw INDEPENDENT CHAPEL.—The opening services were held on the 12th and 13th instants when sermons were preached by the the D. C. Jones, Abergwilly; Professor Morgan, Carmarthen W. Thomas, Gwynfai J. R. Kilsby Jones, D. Evans, Salem, and T. Davies, Llandilo, in Welsh, and the Rev J. C. Davies Newton in English. The chapel was built through the exertions of the Rev E, Jones Crugybar. The collections amounted to £2ï which added to £ 384 subscribed before reduces the debt to £ 100. LLANDI LO. -SUDDEN DEATH.—On Saturday night, about 12 o'clock, Mr Pugh, schoolmaster died suddenly. He was in a neighbour's shop about half-past 9 con- versing in his usual manner, and took his supper about 10. Directly afterwards be was seized with cramp from which he died about twelve o'clock. Mr Pugh's death is much regretted in the town by all classes. He took a lively interest in public matters. He was the Liberal Registration agent for the Llandilo District, and did good service to the cause. He was also an ardent tetotaller and zealous Sunday-school teacher. We understand that he leaves three small children wholly unprovided for, his wife having died only a few weeks since. It is hoped the charitable will not forget these poor destitute orphans. LLANDOVERY.—WELSH COLLEGIATE INSTITU- TION.—At the recent open examination held in Jesus College, Oxford, an Exhibition of £ 40 a year, tenable for four years, was awarded to Mr T. D. Davies, of Tyllwyd, on his matriculation. Mr Davies was educated at Llandovery and in June last there gained one of the school exhibitions of £2ï a year which is tenable at Jesus College. This is the sixth scholarship or exhibi- tion gained in Oxford by pupils of this school at their matriculation within the last three years. LIBERAL BANUUET.—On Thursday evening last a banquet was given at Llwynwormwood, by Dr Sandwith to a large number of the supporters of the Liberal cause. Mr Sartoris, M.P., was present at the meeting. Among the guests may be mentioned Mr D. Rees, senior, and T. Rees, junr., of Cloth Hall, Mr Thomas Davies, tea dealer, High Street, Mr Rees Bishop, Stone Street. Among the toasts of the evening one of the most promi- nent was the "The House of Commons," proposed by Dr Sandwith in a frank and eloquent speech. The doctor declared himself a democrat in the broadest sense of the word. He would do away with a House of Lords, but had no objection to a Senate, consisting of men who had given unmistakable proofs of capacity, experience, and public service. Hereditary legislators he would, like the most vigorous writer of Saxon in his own or any one else's day wish to see breeched to manhood." Bishops he would release from attendance in the House of Lords, and mildly condemn them to look after the spiritual duties of their super-pastorate. As a Churchman, he earnestly desired the separation of Church and State, and he was not ashamed to confess that he had publicly advocated the claims of the Libera. tion Society. He was in favour of the Ballot, and thoroughly opposed to the present iniquitous system of electing parliamentary representatives, includ- ing canvassing and the scandalous expense with which candidates for a seat in Parliament were taxed. These opinions were rapturously applauded to the sati s- faction of the speaker, who it is said "possesses the in- valuable and covetable gift of inspiring his friends with fervent personal attachment." It was suggested that the doctor should be accepted by the Liberals of Car- marthenshire as a candidate for the representative of the county with Mr Sartoris. In responding to a toast with which his name was coupled, Mr Sartoris reviewed the last session of Parliament referring specially to his own conduct with the view of showing that he had voted as he promised when canvassing the country. The toast, The Ministers of all denomina- tions was responded to by the Rev Jansen Davies, Llandovery, on behalf of the Nonconformists and Mr Browne, of the National Provincial Bank. Llandovery, Ion to the rector of Radfury, Den- bighshire, on behalf of the bishop and clergy. The Liberation Society was acknowledged by the Rev G. W. Conder of Manchester, a guest of Dr Sand- wich, whose eloquent description of the potential future of Epibcopacy when freed from State bondage ought to have made Churchmen proud of a religious community capable, when uncrutched, of showing such fine paces. Nonconformity, he avowed, was not in it- self a desirable thing, that it was a protest, and that it was in the power of an Episcopacy unfettered by the State to become the leading and most influential religious denomination in the world, and that once it was made free in speech and limb, all sects would gravitate towards it, and become ultimately absorbed by it." There were other toasts and much hilarity during the evening. LLANDYSSUL.—INQUEST.—An inquest was held on Monday last at Glynunod, before J. Phillips, Esq., coroner, on the body of James Davies, aged 68, Fosffyn, sheep-dealer, who was found dead on Saturday morning last, in a small pool of water, about a yard and a half circle, and OH inches deep, on the side of the road from Fostrasol to Llandyssul, near Bwlchugroes Chapel he was last seen the night before at 11 p.m. at Foistrasol public-house, returning home from Newcastle-Emlyn fair in a state of drunknness. The verdict of the jUty wtjs Found drowned in a state of drunkenness." The Coroner reprimanded Mr Jones, Fcstrasol Inn, for giving beer, &c., to drunken men.
CARDIGANSHIRE.
CARDIGANSHIRE. THE REGISTRATION IN CAB I)IGi,VSH I RE.-A corres- pondent of the IPestern Mail writes So far as I have been enabled to ascertain, the following figures represent the result of the recent revision of the list of voters for five districts in Cardiganshire. The precise figures as to three of the polling places I have not yet succeeded in obtaining Expunged Expunged by Conservatives by Liberals Aberayron District.. 1G7 H, 22 Aberystwith ditto 207 37 Cardigan ditto 115 .54 LLANRHYSTID DITTO 18 16 Tregaron ditto 41 39 i Total. 548 148 An t-hig alnT'lo -:11 vu "VL<O -1 WIU oe seen that the Conservatives have had a gai. n of 400, added to which the gain in the other three polling places on exceptions, and the addition of new claims, the total Conservative gain may safely be set down as something approaching 600. Some novel objections were raised in the course of the inquiry amongst others, an objection to certain retro- spective leases in the courts for the upper division of the county, an objection which involved something like 30 votes. The first case taken by the liberals referred to ante-dated leases granted for a term of 60 years, and for II holdings of the annual value of £.5, whether such lease conferred on the lessee the right to be on the register under the Representation of the People Act, sec. 5, The Barrister expunged the claims, but granted a case. As I have already stated, the decision of the case will affect some 30 voters Then the question of "equitable leases" was raised, and the Barnster, who had decided against the Conservatives in Cardigan, on the question being raised by Mr Atwood in Aberayron, said that although he adhered to his original decision, etill the question was such a doubtful one that he should grant a case to the Conservative agent." CARDIGAN. — MAYORALTY.—It is rumoured that Mr W. W. Smith, solicitor, will be the new Mayor. He has been for several years an active and useful member of the Council. MUNICIPAL ELECTION.—The four councillors retiring are Mr D. Jones, tanner, Mr J. T. Mathias, jeweller, Mr James Williams, grocer, and Mr Joseph Williams, Tanner's Hall.

DIHEWYD.—Thansgiving services for the bountiful harvest, were held in this church on the 14th inst. The morning service was read by the Rev John Bowen, Penlan, Cribin, and two sermons were deli- vered on the occasion. The first sermon was preached by the Rev E. W. Davies, Curate of Clydach. Swansea, from Ecclesiates xi. chap., 4th verse, He that obeerveth the wind shall not sow and he that regardeth the clouds shall not reap." The second ser- mon was preached by the Rev John Harries Davies, Rector of Cilian-aeron, from Hebrews i. chap. 14th verse, Are they not all ministering spirits sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of Salvation ? The discourses were suitable, and well delivered. The attendance was very good and attentive. The Vicar, the Rev Thomas Davies, M.A., was also present, and after the service was over the officiating clergymen and a few friends were hospitably entertained to an excellent dinner by him at his residence at Treber- fedd. YSTRADMELTRIG.—GRAMMAR SCHOOL-—Last week we were gratified to have to chronicle the eclat which the above old renowed institution has lately won at St. David's College, Lampeter.

THE WATElt WORKS.-A correspondent, who is in a position to speak with unqualified authority, writes- In your article last week on the subject of the Aberyst- with Water Works you do Mr Arnold Taylor an injustice. In the whole of his communications on the subject be has been most gentlemanly and couiteous, and evincing every desire to study economy while keeping in mind the efficiency of the works." COMMISSIONERS' MEETING.—A special meeting of the Town Improvement Commissioners was held in the Town Hall, on Tuesday last, for the purpose of con- sidering further what steps should be taken for supply- ing the town with water. The chair was occupied by J. Matthews, Esq. (mayor), and there were present- Messrs C. Hackney. W. Williams, J. Pell, J. P. Jones, David Roberts, W. Julian, R. Morris, Capt C. B. Lewis, kc. It was first proposed That the resolution passed at a special meeting of the commissioners, held on the 12th of September last, for adopting the Domen scheme for supplying the town vith water, be rescinded." —Mr Pell proposed, as an amendment, that the matter be referred to the Secretary of State, and that he be requested to send a proper person down to consider and report on the various schemes proposed." This, on being put to the meeting, was lost, and the original motion was carried by a large majority, as was also the following:" That the resolution passed at the public meeting, held on the 2nd of Oct., wherein the report of the commit- tee, submitted to that meeting was approved of, and another committee appointed, be rescinded." Mr B. Hughes then moved that the scheme known as the L'anbadarn Flat sheme" te adopted, upon which Mr D. Rubetts suggested that other schemes should be allowed to be brought forward and discussed and the meeting adjourned until the 26th, when the mayor again occu- pied the chair, and a plan was brought forward and read by Mr Williams, for supplying the town with water from the Rhosfawr springs in the Clarach valley, at an estimated cost, P-1000. Mr David Roberts also forwarded a scheme for supplying the town with water from Pistillgwyn springs to the soutb of the river Ystwith, at an estimated cost of £ 2,000. The merits- or demerits-of these plans were only slightly entered into, one section of the committee contending that the business of the meeting was to accept or reject Mr B. Hughes' motion, which was seconded by Mr Julian, and another sec ion, led by Mr Pell and Mr Attwood, arguing that as it was evident they could only agree to disagree, it was useless to spend further time in con- sidering the matter, it being clear that all their arguments for and against the various schemes, would have to be re- produced in a court of public inquiiy held by some official from the Local Board of Health in London. Mr Attwood further proposed, and Dr Williams seconded, the follow- ing as an amendment to the resolution of Mr Hughes, Inasmuch as great difficulty exists as to which of the many schemes put forward for the better supplying the town with water is the best; Resolved, That the Secre- tary of State be respectfully requested to send down Mr Arnold Taylor or some one else to inquire into the relative merits of all the schemes which have been from time to time submitted to the consideration of this board, and of any new scheme that may in the mean- time be brought forward, and to advise the Commis- sioners as to which of the several schemes is the best and should the Secretary of State refuse to comply with the request of the Commissioners then that some emi- nent hydraulic engineer, to be approved of by this board, be employed to examine the several schemes and report thereon." Mr Julian objected to this amendment, as one embodying the same principle, and proposed by Mr Pell, had been aleady lost, and at this stage of the pro- ceedings,the meeting adjourned until Friday next.  DEATH OF TALHAiARx.—Died ??jj?day week, at the house of hIS sIster, at Llanfairtn, Denbigshire, Mr John Jones, the well known and justly-celebrated Welsh bard, Talhaiarn." Mr Jonds, it appears, had been very ill for some weeks preceding,his death, having suffered very severely from his old enemy, the gout, and in addition, had become prostrated from the effects of an inward complaint, in reference to which it was intended by the faculty that he should undergo an oper- ation. Whether it was through fear of having to go through the proposed operation, or that his mind had become weakened we regret to know that on Friday week be was induced to make an attempt on his life, and tried to blow out his brains wounding him- self severely under the left ear. From this shock he never rallied, but gradually sank, and, as we have stated, breathed his last at the house of his sister on Sunday week. Talhaiarn took prominent rank among the bards of Wales, and his works in English and Welsh poetry and prose, will remain among tbe most treasured relics of the literature of the Welsh nation. He was known as the Burns of Wales," and sang of the beauties of his native land, and of the characteristics of his fellow-countrymen, with all the genial warmth of feeling and shrewd knowledge of Welsh human nature which characterised Burns in his treatment of Scotland and Scotsmen. He was the author of many poems and prose writings, his third volume being published as late as August last. He was by profession an architect and surveyor, and practised under Sir Joseph Paxton. His taste for literature, how- ever, was paramount, and thus the literary annals of his country have been appreciably enriched. Eight or ten years ago a national testimonial was raised, by which an annuity was purchased in his behalf, and which he enjoyed up to the time of his death. He was a fervid patriot, a stanch and sincere friend, and a genial-hearted companion, being absolutely beloved by all who were privileged to become acquainted with his genuine, manly characteristics, and to share, in friendly contact, the influence of his undoubted genius. His death will be learnt with deep regret throughout the whole Princi- cipality, where the name of Talhaiarn is a household word, as well as by every Welsh bard in the United Kingdom. He was never married, and was about 50 years of age. SPAIN, MONDAY.—From Spain to-day there is news of ministerial dissensions, which threaten to be serious enough to bring about considerable changes in the Government. Irreconcilable differences appear to pre- vail as to the person who shall be selected for King. Several of the Ministers are warm partisans of the Duke of Montpensier, while another part support the Duke of Genoa. Long and angry sittings are held without any satisfactory result, and according to the latest telegrams, Ardanaz, Popete, and Silvela are like- ly to leave the Government. Prim has declared in the Cortes that should the (Ecumenical Council adopt decisions contrary to the Spanish Consstitution, such decisions would be treated as null and void.
