I TENBY RACES.-(SECOND DAY.)
I TENBY RACES.-(SECOND DAY.) These races were not so numerously attended on tht second day as on the first; but the vehicles exceeded th* number of those present on Wednesday, shewing an 14crease of aristocracy. The morning looked dull and gloomy—threatening clouds looming in the distance, and giving an ill-forbo- lDg appearance; but soon old Sol shone out with a WUiant face, and with its all-generating influence, gave oQS hope to all lovers of the turf, that it would turn out 1, fine day. th The town was literally crammed on the occasion, and the racing was excellent. The race of the day wa the Hurdle Race," on which large sums of money Changed hands. About twelve o'clock the Pembroke toad presented a lively appearance; crowds were seen Ending their way to the scene of action, equestrians, j Wistrians, &c., all in their best toggery. -Precisely at one o'clock the signal was given for weigh- "•jfc* for the first race.

It was evident now that the race would be oetween Chance and the old oss." About half a mile home Pharaoh shot a-head. The supporters of Him of the Red Sea" were now very sanguine as to <he resultstill Chance kept bravely up; but Jim had tft it too late. Whip and spur were used with a ngeance. The difference was now but trifling.

About 60 yards from ¡¡Olne the old Egyptian King collared him. This created Rreat deal of excitement. All now was anxiety and Merest. Jim now plied the whip to some purpose. It ,a8 evident that the old horse was done.

THIRD HEAT.—Chance walked over, Pharaoh and y*HliatU being withdrawn. Pharaoh was withdrawn consequence of the bad state of his fore pins. He was Afterwards sold to Mr. Griffiths, of Sigginstone, to be kept as an entire horse. The next nwe was the STEWARD'S PLATE of five SOVS. each with twenty-five added. Only three horses atitr,ed- t.

WHOLESALE GAMBLING AT TRSDY.-The Race '*evk presented scenes of gambling, which arc equal to those at any of the hells" in the metropolis. The Itev. J. Bird Allen, formerly of Pembrokeshire, but now ^Oxfordshire, made an application to the mayor to call meeting of the magistrates in order to hear the dis- Closurea he had to make respecting some gambling "lhich 'bad occurred at one of the hotels in the town, on Friday night and early on Saturday morning. A meet- lng was accordingly held in the Town Hall on Saturday. "lien the Rev. Gentleman said that he did not wish to act -8 an informer, but only desired to give such information to the magistrates as would enable them to- collect evi- dence that would lead to a conviction. He called upon e magistrates to administer the oath to John Allen, sq., of Freestone, in this county, barrister, and a tusiD of the Rev. Gentleman. Mr. Allen objected to Rive evidence that would criminate himself and told the magistrates that if they would show him any Act of parliament that would compel him to give evidence that "'ould criminate himself, he would readily take the .Çatb. The magistrates replied that they could not do :&0. Considerable warmth was shown by some parties present and the case was ultimately dismissed. The -Aev. Mr. Allen, however, intimated that the affair should not rest there. The games played, it is reported, "tere Blind Hooky It and "Whist," and it is said that the tables were covered with gold, siher, and bank YiOtes. It is reported that one individual lost E400.

The great hope is that the weather may he equally as fine as it was when our beloved Queen last so recently visited its placid waters. To use the words of a celebrated political leader, who once view- ing a large fleet riding in Cawsand bay, the vessels of the royal squadron on the occasion in question from the glassy smoothness of the water seemed to be sleep- ing upon their shadows, so distinctly were they reflected in the Haven's broad expanse. Orders to coal the fleet on the 12th instant were received at Pem- broke on Monday, and thus the certainty of the event has become unquestionable. PEMBROKE POLICE.—On Saturday, the 28th instant, the annual licensing session took place in the Town Hall, before M. Davies, Esq., W. Thomas, Esq., B. Ro- bertson, Esq., &c. Several certificates were declined, and some new ones granted. The practice of card-play- ing having been permitted in some houses, a terse cau- tion was given by the Bench, it being distinctly stated that persons so offending would on conviction be dealt with in the severest manner. At the same sessions the following cases transpired. The constable of the borough v. fr. E. Mason for violation of the bye-laws. Case adjourned for a fortnight Mr. Warlow v. John Sweeny, for deserting his service. Case dismissed for want of evidence, the bench recommending the defend- ant strongly to return to his master. Some cases of non-payment of poor-rate were adjourned for a fort- night. After these sessions were closed the county ma- gistrates (Geo. Dunn, Esq., and others) sat to hear some complaints of the water bailiff against certain persons for a violation of the Act of Parliament respecting dredsring for oysters at illegal seasons. The.charges having been duly proved, the parties were fined some .50s., some 30s., and others 20s., with costs all being too poor to pay, orders of distress were granted against them, and in de- fault of payment to be committed to the house of cor- rection for stated periods. RUSSIA, SWEDEN, AND THE UASTLEMAKTJN BLACK CATTLE.—The celebrity which this stock has acquired has extended over all the Continent. Lately, at the re- commendation of the Royal Agricultural Society, a number of bulls and heifers were bought at Pembroke and shipped by the Troubadour to Liverpool, from thence to Russia. And within these few days, two gentlemen from the Kingdom of Sweden, have made large purchases of young bulls and two-year-old heifers for that country at prices varying from £ 10 to C15 each. These think, ought to be a suffi- cient inducement to farmers to aTtehd to the breed of their stock, and is also a. strong proof they have nothing to fear from free trade. ACCIDENT. On Tuesday afternoon last, an accident of a verv distressing description occurred to a poor man named Wm. Mathias, and his son, a lad about 15 years of age, both in the employ of Mr. Marychurch, at his Limestone Quarries, at Johnstone, near Haverfordwest, The lad was employed in regulating the winding of a large chain round a cylinder. The clliurlpr being worked by a steam engine, anti used in drawing the stones out of the quarry in trucks over a tram road, and when in the act of fastening the chain to the cylinder, he became entangled and was drawn round with the chain over his leg and arm he immediately gave an alarm, when his father who was working the engine ran to his assist- ance, but instead of reversing the action of the engine, endeavoured to rescue the poor boy and became also entangled in the chain, and was drawn in like manner round the cylinder, with the chain across his chest. In this awful position he continued for a few minutes, during which time the chain had passed over his body three times, when the workmen who were near at hand hastened to the assistance of the unfortunate sufferers, and by reversing the engine released them from their perilous situation. The father was taken up quite insensible, and to all appearance life was extinct; but after a short time he exhibited slight symptoms of ani- mation and gradually became conscious, but he is dieadfully injured, and but faint hopes are entertained of his recovery. The son had his thigh fractured, but is in a fair way of recovery. Surgical aid was imme- diately procured by Mr. Marychurch, who was on the premises when the unfortunate occurrence took place, and nothing was omitted which kindness and sympathy could suggest. The unfortunate man has a large family. 'I' "J- .J.r"

CARDIGANSHIRE. LLANFIHANGEL PETTY SESSIONS.—Magistrates pre- sent, J. Llovi Davies, and J. Llovd Price, Esqrs.—On Monday last, David Hughes, of Drefach, in the parish of Llanwenog, in the county of Cardigan, was fined 10s. and costs for assaulting David Rccs, police constable, at Llanybyther fair, on the 17th July last. David Rod- rtcA of Caermalwis, in the parish of Llanybyther, was tIed 208. and costs for assaulting Serjeant Lloyd, at Hanybyther, on the same day. Three affiliation cases were heard and orders made. ABEKYSTWITH — ETHIOPIAN SERENADERS.—These vocalists had a splendid bumper at the Public Rooms, Abeivstwitn, on Monday and l'ue%daI!t!st. Ouriosity was so nJueh excited by the reports of their abilities which fame had wafted onwards that the large concert room was crowded on Monday before the performance com- menced. The concert was much the same as given at Carmarthen, and renortcd in our last, and the success at Aberystwith was equally decisive. To call out the pieces best reauved would require us to copy th" programme of the niglw performance verbatim; for, to employ an Hibernicistn all was best, asevcrvsong was npplauded to the echo. To explain this success bv ascribing it to the peculiarities of their performance-is sheer nonsense; peculiarities can excite at.nlM1. can never sustain it for upwards of two, hours, as these serenaders did on Monday and Tuesday evenings. Together with con- siderable comic powers they displayed, particularly in the concerted pieces, the talents and acquirements of accom- plished and scientific musicians. There is also an ensemble or "oneneM^ in- the whole performance-a blending of the voices- together which can result only from great practice, together. with great natural sym- pathy of tastes. Even the bone-music ehitnes in, as if it were to the manner born," and contributes marvelously to the piquancy of the performance and the completeness of the effect. So many families being disappointed of seats on Monday, the performance was repeated on Tuesday, and the applause was equal if not greater on that .ight to the preceding. ASERYSFRWN-H. — THK SEASOX. — This fashionable I watering place continues full to the plethora and where the multitude that are coming next week to the Archaeological Association are to find apartments is the grand secret which the Local Caminittjte are now endea- vouring to solve. Report speaks hilgitly of some of the papers to be read before the Association, and is credibly asserted that his Lordship the Bishop of St. David's together with some of the most celebrated Literati of the principality will be present. Amongst the distinguished visitors who have already arrived may be named Viscount and Viscountess FeUding, Lady Jane Feilding, Right Hon. Wyildham Powis, Hon. J. C. Harries, and the Hon.

NARHOW ESCAPE FROM DROWNING—On Monday last some lads were amusing themselves in a boat on the river Tivy, and had reached as far as the Castle Pool at Old Cnstle, St. Dosjmell's, when one of them, named William Griffiths, residing in Cardigan, in stepping from one part of the boat to another, lost his balance and was precipitated into the vater,the tide was running very strong at the time and he was imme- diately carried down by the current, and sank in deep water. An alarm was instantly raised, and some sailors from a vessel at anchor near the place of the accident, directly put off to his assistance, aad fortunately suc- ceeded in rescuing him, as he rose to the surface. He was conveyed 011 board the Yeaeel, when proper means were taken for his recovocyi.And bt was soon after re- stored to his friends.

GLAMORGANSHIRE. FATAL ACCIDENT IN A COALPIT.—Six LIVES LOST. —An awful catastrophe occurred on Wednesday morn- ing, in the Wauncaegyrwen colliery, Glamorganshire, where six lives were lost. It appears that as some of the colliers were ascending from the pit, having been working the previous night, the ring that joined the rope to the carriage broke, when they had reached nearly to a level with the surface, and they were pre- cipitated to the tremendous depth of two hundred yards. When means had been adopted to descend the pit, the scene that met the sight can be better imagined than described, it was truly horrible The dead bodies, six in number, were so mangled that it was almost impus- sible to know them. Not a bone was unbroken, and even one body is said to have been severed in two. To witness the consternation of the relatives of those who happened to be working in the pit the night previous to the accident, was heart-rending. Each, with an anxious mind, was seen hastening towards the tragic scene, to ascertain whether their friends were alive or not. But the sight of a wife bewailing the fate of her hus- band-or a tender mother embracing the mangled re- mains of a beloved son—was enough to melt a heart of stone. It is not, as yet, ascertained whether the unhappy accident happened from neglect or not, but it is a serious caution to those whose lot it is to work in similar places to be extremely careful of the state of the ropes or chains on which their lives are so often suspended. TOTAL DESTRUCTION BY FIRE OF THB BARQUE COB HE."—We have learnt by an official communi- cation from the master of the barque Cobre," to his owners, Messrs. Bath and Eaton, merchants, of Swansea, that that vessel hss been entirely destroyed in consequence of the spontaneous combustion of the cargo of coal with which she was laden. The "Cobre," sailed from Swansea for Coquimbo, on the 2nd of May last, and was to have returned with a cargo of copper ore. She was insured, but not to the full amount. There were about twelve passengers on board, consisting principally of miners, &c. from Corn- wall. All were saved. The Earl of Jersey, accompanied by his son, the Hon. Francis Villiers, and Sloaive Stanley, Esq., arrived in Swansea on Tuesday evening by the Neath Abbey Steam Packet. They intend inspecting different portions of his lordship'sjimproving estates. Mr. Stanley, also, visits his estates in the ncighbourhood and is accom- panied by his agent, Mr. Adam Murray. The Earl stays at the Castle Hotel. SWANSEA POLICr,Before the Mayor, S. Benson, Esq., and Dr. Bird.— Thomas Preston was charged with having stolen a pair of shoes, the property of Thomas White, shoemaker, residing at Lan Las, in the parish of Llansamlet. The prisoner, who declined saying any thing in his defence, Was then committed for trial at the Quarter Sessions. Mr. William Day, law stationer, was re-examined on a charge of obtaining goods under false pretences. He was fully committed for trial at the Quarter Sessions, but admitted to bail.

William Jones, mason, Mumbles, was charged by P.S. Webb with being asleep in the public street in a state of intoxication-Repri- manded and discharged. Thomas and Elizabeth Tho- mas were charged, the former with challenging his father to fight, thus disturbing the neighbours and the mother with having refused to leave the station-house after accompanying her son to that quarter The de- fence was, that in consequence of the father's conduct, the station-house was preferable to home.—Discharged with a caution. SWANSEA AUXILIARY SEAMENS' SOCIETY.—The annual meeting of this society intended for promoting the moral and spiritual improvement of seamen, was held at Castle-street Chapel, on Tuesday evening last. The chair was taken by J. H. Vivian, Esq., M.P., who stated the object of the meeting. He remarked that, in this large town, such means as are adopted by this in- stitution, should be extensively employed. Mr. Vivian was happy to find that they had a good working com- mittee for carrying on the operations of this Auxiliary. The Rev. S. Dodd, secretary, then read the report, which showed that the societv was in a very favourable and prosperous condition. Rev. Wm. Jones moved the adoption of the report, which was seconded by Rev. D. Evans. The second resolution was moved by Mr. V. Clutton, and seconded by Rev. W. Howell. A vote of thanks to the chairman having been carried on the mo- tion of the Rev. D. Davis, seconded by the Rev. T. Dodd, the meeting, which was numerously attended, separated. FATAL ACCIDENT.—A young man named David Tho- mas, about 20 years of age, and residing in the hamlet of St. Thomas, near Swansea, met his death on the works of the South Wales Railway, at Cwmbwrla, on Monday evening last. It appears that he was engaged in driving a tram-waggon, when, it is thought, his attention was attracted, to something thrown at the horse. In turning round for the purpose of ascertain- ing wnence it came, his foot slipped. He fell on the rail, the waggon passing obliquely over his right thigh, which sustained a compound fracture. The left leg was also fractured below the knee. The sufferer was promptly attended by Mr. W. H. Michael. Dr. Howell and Mr Rowland aho visited him, but the injuries sus- taiard tere Ttf sj serious a character, that the unfor- tunate young man expired in the course of a few hours. VAT.9 OF NEATH RAILWAY.—The third meeting of i the proprietors of this company wns held on Wednesday ) week, at 449, Strand. Viscount Villiers, M.P., in the I chair, The chairman, in the course of his remarks, assured the meeting that it was with the greatest satis- faction that he looked forward to the completion of the works, as the experience of every succeeding day served to convince hiin more and more of the value of the line as affording an important communication between the great central mineral districts of Wales and the important port of Swansea. He bad no doubt whatever but that it would pay remunerating dividends to the proprietors. MF.RTHyit.The good folks of Merthyr are to be gra- tified with the ascent of a bailoon under the superinten- dence of Mr. Gyp.son. The preparations ars very exten- sive, and it is expected, will give satisfaction. The crops about Merthyr and the neighbourhood are now progressing to maturity, and the yield, it is said, will he very good. Merthyr Tydfil contains 106 licensed victuallers, and 210 beer-shops. MERTHYR POLICE COURT.—On Wednesday, before H. A. Bruce, and W. TllIImas, Esqrs., Peter M'Conwill, 1111 Irulb hawker, was ,barged by Superintendent Wrenn with seiling cloth without a license. Committed for seven days to the House of Correction, with hard labour.

Phillips then obtained a summons against John for leaving his work without notice. William Davies, labourer, Aberdare, was charged with cutting -.nd ounding John Jones, Aberaman, oh Saturday night last. It appeared in evi- dence that Jones had been fighting with another man, and as soon as that was over, the prisoner came deli- berately up to him whilst he was stripped, and cut hjm across the stomach with some 4harp instrument. The wound inflicted was four inches long. The prisoner in his defence, admitted striking Jones with a stone, but lie denied he had cut him, and said that he was first knocked down by Jones. Several witnesses rebutted this, and the prisoner was fully committed for trial at the next assizes.

She was committed to take her trial at the next Glamorganshire quarter sessions.

I -.LLYNVI VALLEY RAILWAY.…
I LLYNVI VALLEY RAILWAY. ihe second half-yearly ordinary general meeting of this company, was held on Tuesday at the offices, 449, West Strand; Dr. Buwring, M.P., in the chair. The advertisement convetiiug the meeting having been read, and the seal of the company affixed to the register of proprietors, The Secretary read a report, of which the following is an abstract: "The directors congratulate the proprietors on the complete success which has attended their proceedings from the date of the report of the 10th December, 1846. That report referred to an agreement then entered into with the Duffryn, Llynvi, ud Port Caowl Company, for the purpose of consolidating the two under'akings. The directions have now the satisfaction of stating that the agreement has been confirmed by Parliament, and that the act, authorising the union, has received the royal assent. By this Act, the property and powers of the Duffryn, Llynvi, and Porth Cawl Company, are vested in the Llynvi Valley Railway Company] the capital of the Duffryn, Llynvi, and Porth, Cawl Company, is declared to be part of the capital of the Llynvi Valley Railway Company, the proprietors of the former company re- ceiving stock of the new company equivalent to their shares in the Duffryn, Llynvi, and Porth Cawl Company, with the same privilege as the holders of existing shares. 11 From the nature of the above, and the provisions of the Act, the proprietors cannot fail to perceive that the whole arrangement between the old and the new company, has been based upon fair and liberal terms, and are such as will, in the judgment of your directors, produce a most satisfactory result to the proprietors of both companies. The Act for authorising the short Extension from Castel-y-Wewa to Angle-town, in the parish of New- castle, has received the royal assent, and they cannot but legard this short extension as a most important accession of the powers possessed by this company. The directors have only been put into possession of the Duffryn, Llynvi, and Porth Cawl line, within a very recent period, and therefore they are not able at this meeting to afford the proprietors any precise information as to the adoption of yariou. suggestions which have been made to them fqr-ihe tmlwoveinent of the old one but they trust, by thi next hatf.gp^fly meeting,^to be in a position to.tay:tb't'e iYi p*opri .fi -a: *stiti-in i n t of the results of their plan of working it .during the con- struction of the new line." The accounts showed the "wipts up to the 30th of June to have been £ 19,22S "i0s. ld., and the expen- diture EII,870 3s. Id., leaving a balance in hand of E7356 7s. The Chairman having briefly addressed the meeting, the report was received and adopted, and the vote of thanks having been passed to the Chairman and Direc- tors, the meeting separated. BRIDGEND PETTY SESSÔN-i'Berore M. P. Tra- herne, Esq., Robert Knight, Clerk, and Wm. Lle- wellyn, Esq. Evan Jenkins, of feucoed, collier, was convicted of assaulting Mr; Corr, Superintendent of Police, whilst in the execution of his duty, at St. Mary Hill fair, on Thursday last. Convicted and fined £ 5, and in default of payment, committed to Cardiff gaol, to hard labour for one month? DMefee Smith was con- victed, upon the information of the Rev. Mr. Blosse, of begging and behaving in a\iolent and abusive manner. She had 4s. 9d. in her pocket when she was appre- hended. Convicted, and sentenced" to 1 month's im- prisonment, with hard labour, at Cardiff, Wm. Hughes, charged by Mr. Corr, Superintendent of Police, with gambling at St. Mary Hill fair, was discharged with a reprimand. Mary Coghlati, of Bridgend, was charged with stealing 8 sovereigns from the dwelling-house of Rees Thomas, of Lamphey, farmef, and Catherine Do- novan, of Bridgend, was charged with unlawfully re- ceiving the money. The evince totally failed to bring home the charge against either of the prisoners, and they were consequently discharged CARDIFF POLICE.—Present James Lewis, Esquire, Mayor, the Rev. J. Evans, ^nd Richard Reece, Esq., F.S.A. Evan Evans, a sawyer, was charged by the police with being drunk and disorderly in the streets, at 2 o'clock on Sunday last. Cautioned and discharged on payment of 2s. 6d. costs. Evan Thomas and John Thomas, sawyers, were charged with assaulting police constable James Baker, while in the execution of his duty on Monday last, at 2 o'clock in the morning. Fined 10s. each and costs-paid. John Winston, ca- binet maker, was charged with a brutal assault on Wm. Llewellyn, by which his eye was nearly gouged out; Winston admitted the assault, but said he was provoked. Fined 40s. including costs—Paid. William Richards, who has repeatedly exhibited himself in the stocks, was again charged by the police with being drunk and disorderly in the public streets, after mid- night. Fined os. and costs, or committed to the stocks for 6 hours. Michaei James, a shipwright, was charged by the police with being drunk and disorderly in the public streets, between 1 and 2 o'clock on Sunday morning last. Fined 5s. and the costs, and a week allowed him to pay the money. John Galavin, was charged with leaving his wife and family chargeable to the parish of St. John. It appeared the prisoner was in constant work, and took no care of his family. Committed to gaol for one month, and to be kept to hard labour. THE OLDEST MAN S!?CE THE DELUGE.—There can be no doubt that an oWer man Aan Thomas Parr or Henry Jenkins existed in Glamorganshire. The parish register of LlaawafW," v, has bteu critically examined, not only by the present learned R; ct.or (the Rev. Robert Nicboll Carne), but by several other acute antiquarians; and the following is a verba- tim esti-act; —Ivan Yorath buried aSatordaye the XVII day of J ufyanno dotoini 1621 etannn regni iegis vicessimo prim >, atmoque ffitatis circa 180-He was a Sowdiar in the tights of Bosworthe, and Lived at Laniwit Major, and he lived nitiell by tishing." Tire word is not so definite as might be desired but that could only cast a doubt upon a very short period, aud the word is also used as to the age of others in the same register. The usual allusion to its having been at the Battle of Bosworth, to his place of residence, and manner of life, tends to con- firm this extraordinary instauce of longevity. RAILWAY ACCIDENT AT MERTHYR TVDVIL. On Friday last the nine o'clock A.M. train from Cardiff was approaching the Merthyr station, when the engine and tender were detached from the train in order to be sent by the slip upon the side line, and by the immediate change of the points to let the carriages pass upon the main line (by the impetus they"W gained) up to the station. The rails near the points were undeigoiug some repairs, and the wooden stay between the rail and the point-box having been improperly left out, the heavy engine no sooner came upon, the rail than it tore up the box, and was immcdiatety thrown off theline, but was soon stayed in its progress by the hill at the side. The carriages at this moment came up to the engine, and, striking against such an immense dead weight, the collision was very severe. Fortunately no lives were lost, but several were severely bruised, for whom medical aid and other assistance "as speedily procured. The engine driver and stoker narrowly es- caDed by lumping off. THE DOWLAIS LEASE.—Intense anxiety pervades the minds of all classes at Dowlais as to the result of the arrangements now pending between the Marquess of Bllte and Sir John Guest, for the renewalof the lease held by the worthy Baronet under the Marquess. Should Sir John Guest give up the lease, the result will, under any circumstances, be most prejudicial to the trading interests of Dowlais, and, we may add, to those of the thousands of workmen who find employment in the Dowlais Iron Works.

PRINCE HENRY OF THE NETHERLANDS IN SCOT- LAND.-On Thursday forenoon our Frith presented an exceedingly animated and picturesque scene, in con- sequence of the approach of a portion of the Dutch fleet, consisting of five ships of war,Daviely, the Prins Van Orange, 60 guns the De Reys, 54 guns, Captain Tohr; the frigate Sambre, 44 gutis, Captain Ferguson; the frigate Juno, 26 guns, Captain Stort; and schooner Saparocwa, 6 guns, Lieutenant-Comuwnder Kluiskens, which anchored in Leith Roads. Tjtee largest vessel had on board Prince Henry, youngest son of the King I of the Netherlands, who acted as Commodore of the fleet. This young Prince it will be teoiilected, visited Edinburgh about two years ago. Aftt't I ing Prince Henry entered a carriage, which 'was *?? tor him on the pier, and drove <Mre<'th?<e??B?a?s'6 Hotel, escorted by a party ofth ,Guards. It is probable that the PrinceJf^f^^he/Castle as well as several etber p?M?s <!SS?'t? -Edinburgh !ft<ncM. ?' Loss OF AN EMIGRANT SUIP AMD 300 PASSEN- GERS.—On Sunday morning last, some parts of the south and north were visited by a most disastious storm that was but slightly felt in this part of the country. We had here a pretty severe gale, accompanied by heavy rain, but no harm was done, even to the crops. But on the coasts of Sutherland and Caithness the storm appears to have been awful, and to have been attended by the most melancholy consequnces. A large emigrant vessel is said to have been driven upon the rocks of Far-out-head," near Durness, and-300 unhappy indi- viduals perished, the whole that <4»e; vessel contained— swallowed up in one common grave, We annex such particulars of this visitation as have been transmitted to us Tongue, Aug. 24.—We bad a dreadful hurricane here on Sunday, and much loss at sea has been the con- sequence along our northern shores. I -have seen the Durness postman, on his return from that place, who brings the disastrous tidings of the total wreck of a three-masted emigrant ship, with upwards of 300 pas- sengers, on the rocks at the Far-ont-Head, in Durness— not a soul is spared, all have perished—and the ship is a total wreck only 17 bodies have as yet come on shore. The headland where the vessel struck is a bold, unapproachable place. It is reported that the vessel is the Canton, of Hull; but as no proper accounts have yet been got of the number of passengers on board, all is taken from surmise, by their being a great deal 01 clothing and chests coining ashore. The 17 bodies are said to be those of seamen." I IMPERISHABLE PORTRAITS upow CAMEOS.—The finest specimens of cameo engraving that are known are those devoted to mythological subjects, and consequently are liable to the caprice or fancy of the artist, whose object is to pourtray the general character without the necessity of subscribing to the features, except so far as they are classically delineated. A young medallist of the name of Picourt has struck out a new path, and has ventured upon taking likenesses upon cameos, which of course are imperishable, and his easaye have been crowned with the greatest, auccew Jby those of her Ma- jesty and tb. Prince Orawrt- i^mdon Paper EXECUTION OF JOHN HIILXHAV.-CARLow, AUG. 28.—On Thursday, at twelve o'clock, John Helahan, who was convicted at the late assizes of the murder of the late John Kelly, of Kiledmond, in this county, underwent the extreme penalty of the law in front of the county gaol. The unfortunate man made a full confession of his crime a few days previous to his execu- tion, and manifested, towards the close of his mortal career, some degree of penitence for his offence, although he appeared gloomy and sullen from the period of his conviction up to tfeff iaWt week. EXECUTION OP: LAHKIN AND DANIEL, FOR THE MULDER OF MR. PRIM, THE PAY-CLERK.—KILKENNY, Auo. 28.—The extreme«cntence of the law was carried into execution, at the gallows in front of our county gaol, on Wednesday, on the above culprits. At one o'clock the prisoners left their cells, accompanied by their clergymen. As they walked along the corridors and down the stairs leading therefrom to the front of the gaol, the prisoners joined the clergymen, apparently with grtfeat fervour, in reciting the Litanies and Psalms and, on the ground floor, they knelt twice in prayer whilst on their way to the stairs by which the press-room is reached, both the priests kneeling beside them. Shortly after their arrival in the press-room the handcuffs were taken off and their arms tied behind their backs. Daniel fainted under this operation, and could not be said to have recovered during the short period of his existence. After the lapse of about a quarter of an hour the fetters were removed from their legs, and the caps drawn over the prisoners' heads. Larkin then said Christ have mercy on my soul. I forgive mv prose- cutor and every one, and those who swore false perjury, and (we think) swore my life away." He was then led out on the drop, and said, Good people, all we have to ask is, that you pray for our souls."—(A loud murmur, of Lord have mercy on your souls," amongst the crowd in front of the drop.) Daniel, who appeared in- sensible, was then placed on the drop, the bolt was drawn, and in a few minutes the two prisoners ceased to exist. Larkin made one or two convulsive struggles, but Daniel did not make any visible muscular efforts. From the day before their execution neither of the uufortunate men tasted food; and they spent nearly the entire of Tuesday night and Wednesday morning in prayer, manifesting great penitence. There was a very large concourse of people present at the execution, including-we say it with the deepest regret-a great number of women and children. A strong guard of military and police surrounded the gaol.

As it is calculated to injure the reputation of this Establishment, may I beg your permission to state that the extract there quoted from the Lunacy Commissioners Report, refers to their visit to this asylum in August, 1846, but that their present opinion is expressed in the report of their last visit July 12th, 1847, which closes with the follow- inKselJtence: On the whole, the house was in a creditable state." Allow me to say, that the public have always a sure criterion of the condition and management of Lunatic Asylums in the proportions which the recoveries and deaths bear to the admissions. The following comparative table shews those propor- tions in this asylum, after nearly four years existence, and in the best county asylums at a similar period. jReeoveries Deaths.

THE WELSH GRACE DARLINGS. To the Editor of tlte Welshman. Sin,—Not having been acquainted with the facts of this case until after I had perused the admirable letter 011 the subject contained in your last, it led me to enquire into them, and I now beg, as an untutored Welshman, to say a few words in behalf of the sisters Llewellyn. Reader, you have probably perused that letter; and, while so doing, did it not, in imagination cause you to rush forward with all your energy and might to rescue from the devouring waves the courageous and liigh- spirited women who so determinedly risked their lives to succour the storm-beaten mariners, and save them from a briny grave ? If not then hast thou no heart. Had it occurred in any other part, it would long since have been the subject of comment and of praise from every quarter but sorry I am to see their only advocate is a noble- minded and right thinking stranger. He has truly and forcibly pointed out and brought into juxta-position the case of Grace Darling, who has been the theme of soner and praise, and rewarded by royal smiles and patronage. Here the act is similar but owing to its having occurred in a distant part of Wales, no notice whatever is taken of it, and those who ought to be highly rewarded are left to struggle with that poverty to which they have been too long inured. Welshmen Sons of the mountain land Can such be the case ? Is it forgetfulness or neglect which causes this ? Feel ye no pride in associating yourselves as countrymen with heroines such as these ? Pride aye, it ought to create within you a feeling inex- pressible, that the women of your native land can venture upon and achieve objects such as this Why then allow them to remain in the deep obscurity of poverty ? Rouse from the lethargy in which you have long indulged. Come forward hand and heart to aid and assist fellow creatures so worthy of reward. Your forefathers rushed boldly onward in answer to the war cry of their native prince, and surely you will emulate them in this work of peace, for the name is still LLEWELLYN Think of the dangers to which these noble minded girls ex- posed themselves, and for what ? To rescue trom the engulphing waves those who, probably, through storm and tempest, had braved the fury of the ocean to bring you succour from a foreign and far distant land, when the wrath of the Almighty was shown around you in all- destructive famine! So that, at last, you will be but repaying a debt so justly due. Remember the awful scenes that have occurred while you have been provi- dentially spared, though surrounded by faniine and death! Show your gratitude to the preservers of those who struggled with the mighty powers of the elements in order to furnish you with the means whereby to sustain life. Let subscriptions be commenced in every town in Wales—(and I am perfectly convinced gentlemen will be found to receive them)—that you may place beyond the reach of poverty merit such as Martha and Margaret Llewellyn possess. That mighty orgaii-the Press- will take it up, and lend its all-powerful aid in so righteous a cause, and do you manfully respond to the ca 11ouse. Welshmen, Rouse! and prove that vou can yet appreciate merit such as this. Let each emulate the other in en- deavouring to do good; so that if fate should again force the unfortunate mariner on the bounty of the Llewellyns, he may be received in ccmfort where .poverty too long has reigned. Think of the honour of your country; aye, and think how fearlessly it can be maintained while its ocean defenders can boast of mothers and sisters such as these! Join manfully together now at once, for the time will come to pass when it will be a bye-word of re- proach that you have not contributed towards the com- fort of those who generously shared their all with the tempest-stricken and cast-away mariner. Let each and all strive hard, and you will yet have the satisfaction of knowing that your labour has been in aid of a good cause, and that it met with the success which its merits so truly deserved. I remain, sir, respectfully yours, JNewcastle fcmlyn, Sept. 1. 1847. AMICUS, I
