VOLUNTEER ATTACK AND DEFENCE OF WOOLWICH DOCKYARD. On Satu-i-,Ie-,nin; a large number of visitors as- sembled at Woolwich Dockyard, and also on the north shore of the river, to witness a combined naval and mili- tary attack and defence of the establishment, wkr-h was veil carr. _1 out by a numerous b')dy of volunteers and the seaman and marines of the Fiseard, flag At six o'clock the brigade of D ckvard Volunteer AiuiLiy, consisting rf five batteries, under the command of Major Piers, ^seir.cled on {.-aride, and were drawn up in hue in open order, f r inspection by a government offi. r who was received by a general salute, and the fori-e then ir. rched past in open column of companies, closed to quirter-distance column in front, marched past in quarter- distance column, wheeled on the original ground, and carried out a series of manual and platoon exercises. After the usual evolutions of the annual inspection, at seven o'clock, rockets s-nt up from the F:sgard, signalled that the siege operati .n: were about to enmmence. The attacking party consisting of the E-sex Volun'eer Artillery, and the sailors and marines of the Fisgard were well pasted on the river immediately fronting the Barbette battery of four guns on the dockyard wharf, and the do- fending force which was composed of the Dockyard Volunteer Artillery, was formed into four divisions, three of which were told off to w rk the guus of the battery, and defend the whole frontage of the wharf pgainst the landing of the enemy and the remaining division was stati >ned as a reserve c rps at the end of the parade ground. The band of the 2nd Essex WM stationed on the deck of the Fisgard, and the corps named was stationed on board a hulk m )ored off the wharf. Shortly af'er seven o'clock the guns of the Fiseard opened a terrific bombardment upon the opposite battery, which promptly replied, and firing without a ces-ation was kept on for about fifteen minutes, during which period the river itself and dockyard battery were completely hidden by the vast volumes of sm,ke. It being found impossible to silence the battery an assault was determined upon-, and rapidlv but silentlv two large boats, crowded with the attacking partv fully armed, were seen approaching the works, but so hugging the stone wharf as t,) be out of danger from the battery guns, although subject to the fixe of two divisiorg of the defending force, who were posted with loaded carbines along the whole line under cover of a terrific fire from the Fisgard. The wall was, however, rapidly scaled, the battery was taken by assault, f midst the loud cheers of the visitors, and the defender* wade a hasty retreat, and joined their reserve corps. The •'•tending force then rallied, and determined t* retake the battery. A fierce carbine contest was kept up for soai* time by both parties witnout any decisive result until a charge was resolved on, and the entire defending 1 rce advances at quick time, with a loud cheer, until the lecent victors, who were: unable to retain the works, fle 1 in confusion to their boats. The battery was retaken, and a brisk fire was opened upon the attacking party, who, however, with the aid of the guns from the Fisgard, managed to make good their retreat. The Fisgard then retired out of range, and the proceedings terminated at a quarter to eight o'clock. The whole of the evolutions were well executed, and no accident occurred.

Ax ENGLISH LADY DKOWXBD IN LnCHA wE,-On Saturday the inhabitants of the sequestered districts bordering on the lower and of the lochawe were startled with Tumours of a young lady having been drowned oaf-ing in the locb. On inquiry the punfultate was found to be too true. The unto-i;urate lady was Miss Grove, daughter of the eminent member nf the English bar (f that nanie, who, with her mother and some other members of the family, had come a short time ago from the south to spend a few weeks in the Highlands. The occurrence was rendered all the more distressing by the paintul incident having been witnpssed from the shore by the poor girls mother and sister. From the fact of Miss Grove being able to swim, it is supposed that cramp or some attack o a like nature must have been the cause of the melancholy accident. Miss Grove as 20 years of age and about to be married -Edinburgh Courant.

THE MURDER NEAR TAUNTON. KKSPITE OF THE MUKDERER. A communication has been received at the Somerset county gaol, Taunt >n, fr >m Sir Geer^e Gr iy, respiting during hr-r Majesty's pleasure, John Allen, under sentcne" "r death for the murder of his wife at Hatch Beauchamp ,In the 4th of May hst. The respite appears to have beet; the f pontan: ons act of the government-perhflrs with the concurrence of the jud,re who tried the case, Mr T. Cham- bers, Q.C, who is reported to have expressed his surprise at the verdict, though he concurred in it, inasmuch as, although a memorial signed by upwards of 500 of the clergy, gentry, and principal inhabitants of Taunton and neighbourhood bad been forwarded to London on Satur- day, it could not have been presented when the respite was dispatched. The liveliest satisfaction is expressed that Allen's life is to be spared, it being generally felt that the strong provo- cation which he received rendered this a case in which the capital punishment ought not to be carried into effect. T^e memorial was supported by the Bishop of Bath and Wells, who also wrote to the Secretarv of State, and by the High Sheriff of the county, by whom the memorial was to ".ave been presented. The receipt of the respite was com- municated immediately to Allen by Mr Oaklev the governor of the gaol, and so great was the revulsion of feeling occasioned by the announcement, Allen being fullv persuaded that his days were numbered, that he appeared to be quite stunned, and fainted away. He was removed to the hospital of the gaol, where he remain* under the care of the surgeons. -4p

ROBBERY AND SUICIDE OF AN ABSCONDING WATCHMAKER AND JEWELLER. An inquiry was on Tuesday held in the board-room Of St. George's workhouse, before Mr Payne, the coroner for the City of London and Southwark, relative to the death of a man whose name was believed to be Bodeker, ..gOO 48 years, which took place under the circumstances detailed in the subjoined evidence. • M^,GeTr*e Aldf'roft deposed that he kept a coffeehouse in Alfred-phce, Newin^ton. On Thursday week the deceased, whom he did not know, came to the house and was provided with a lodging. He then appeared in very good health, and stated that he had come from the country to London on business. On Wednesday night last he proceeded as u-uil t,) bed, but not making bis appearance on the following morning, witness went UD to his room to call him, when he found the door fastened, and not receiving any reply after repeated knockings the door was burst open. The deceased was then found lying on the floor in a senseless state. A surgeon was sent for. who pronounced life to be extinct. James Cox, a lodger in the house, corroborated the above testimony, and nlso stated that the de eased had told him he was a watchmaker, and had come from the country to take away his daughter, who was too fond of Spurgeon's religion. The deceased seemed perfectly well in health, and not in want of money. Police-constable 294 M deposed that he searched the deceased, and found three duplicates relative to watches, brooches, &c., pawned in different names in the country and London. Mr William Turner, surgeon, of Alfred-place, stated that he was called in to see the decear-ed and found him as described. He bad evidently been dead some time, and on searching the room he found a bottle which bad contained cyanide potassium. The bottle was on the shelf with a cork in it, but the deceased could have placed it there after taking the contents, and then fallen where he was found, but he did not appear to have struggled much. He (witness) had made a post-mortem examination, and from that he ascertained that death had resulted from the cyanide of potassium which he had taken. After some further evidence the inquiry was adjourned, when the following additional facts were ascertained by Mr Cooke, the coroner's officer. In reply to communi- cations sent to Faversham, Sittin*bourne, and Canter- bury, places to which the duplicates found upon the deceased related, it was ascertained that the deceased was Mr Henry Bodeker, a watchmaker and jeweller, carrving on business in Count Street, Faversham. Mr C. White, the head constable of Canterbury, arrived in town and at once identified the body, and stated that the deceased had absconded after pawning watches and other articles left with him to be repaired and that he had left behind a wife and five children, the former just in her confinement. Letters were also received from two pawnbr,kers in Faversham and Sittingbourne relative to some of the property pledged, and stating that in consequence of the robberies the police had been communicated with and were in search of the deceased.

CUKABILITY OF COSSU)!PTION.- The following com- munication from Allen U. Cbattaway, Esq., the eminent surgeon of Leonnnster, testifies to the nnequailed efficacy of Dr de Jonah's Light Browo Cod Liver Oil in the cure of consumption Having for some years extensively used Dr de Jongh's Light-Brown Cod Liver Oil, both in public and private practice, I have no hesitation in stating that i's effects are very far superior to those of any other Cod Liver Oil. Nearly four years since, two cases of confirmed consumption were placed unde rmy care. fn both, the lungs wire mass of a tubercular deposit, and every possible sound to beard io pthisis was present The sole remedy employed was Dr de Jongh's Light- Brown Cod Liver Oil; and now the patients .ire strong and the diseased (abnormal) sounds nearly inaudib e- aru in on« case (male) hunting, fbhing, and shooting are freely indulged in, the patient expressing himself quite capable of undergoing as much fatigue as any of his fellow-sportsmen.' EXTRAORDINARY STORY OF Two FIFTY POUND NOTES. —A singular and interesting case was examined before the magistrates at Fleetwood, on Saturday. A person named Bond, a salesman to the New Fylde Timber Com. panv. was charged with stealing two £ 50 notes, the pro- perty of the Company. The history of the notes is a curious one. In October, 1863, they were paid to a young man, the book-keeper of the company, in the pre- sence of Bond. They were afterwards missed, and the bookkeeper was charged with stealing them, Bond being a witness in the case. The young man was, huwever, discharged, hut he took the disgrace so deeply to heart that he became paralysed, and has now been bedriddeu for about three years. On Wednesday last a pocket- book was found, undoubtedly belonging to Bond, and in it were the two missing notes. His story is that he knows nothing about them. The case has been re- manded. WILFUL MURDER BY A MoTHER.-On Monday an inquest was held in Birmingham on the bodv of a male child five months old, the illegitimate offspring of a young workwoman named Lucy Thompson. The medical evidence went to show that the child had been poisoned by strychnine, administered in the form of a vermin powder. The girl Thoraps„n> when calle(J or her de.ence, told the following piteous tale- —> fortnight last Wednesday morning I left my phce of lodging The reason that I left was having no work and had not any means to pav them Th^J ♦ u had better go and leave them'/ I and the'KbX?^ anywhere to go nor anything to eat, nor had I any money to purchase any. I walked about all day on Wednesday, sir, and I could not get a place. I saw the child's father in the evening. I asked him to lend me sixpence to purchase a night's lodging for me and mv baby, and his answer was 'No.' I told him how I wa. situated, and he told me 41 could do the best way I could.' He then wished me Good night.' I went and sat in St. Paul's Churchyard until five o'clock in the morning. I came down the Bull Ring, a feeling came over me, my senses left me, and I have no recollection myself then, sir, until the evening. When I came to mvself I found myseifinMoor Street—in the lock-up. That is all I have to say, sir. After some deliberation the jury returned a verdict of Wilful Murder against the giri, who fainted several times during the pro- ceedings.

An elderly ge-iileman, witti a long white beard, came down the slip with witness to the steamer. He was sober and in good spirits. He said he hoped to-morrow would be a fine day fur the review, as it would be a very nice sight.

SUMMARY. THE report of Grant's withdrawal to Washington is not confirmed. His army remains before Peters- burg, but is suffering severely from beat, want of water, and consequent sickness. Meanwhile Rich- mond is supplied with all the necessaries of life by the Weldon and Danville Railroads, which have been repaired after having been cut by the Federals. The new raid into Maryland by the Confenerates appears to have been undertaken for the purpose of withdrawing attention from the reinforcements which were hurrying to Hood at Atlanta, on which point the chief interest is now concentrated. Bragg has been despatched to the North-West to bring up Kirby Smith's division to the front, and a battle I was expected on the 20th or 21st between Hood and Sherman, who is said to be within four miles 1 of Atlanta. Adnciral Farragut has entered Mobile Bay. having passed Forts Gaines and Morgan which command the harbour entrasce, and cap- tured Admiral Buchanan, who lost a leg, and the Tennessee and Selma ironclads-the former the finest ram in possession of the Confederates, who on their part sunk the Federal gunboat Tecumseh. It is doubtful if Admiral Farragut will attempt to attack the city, as no vessel drawing more than eight feet of water can pass the Dog River bar. some miles below Mobile, but have to pass up Spanish River, six miles round a marshy island into Mobile River, and then drop down to the city. To assault it with any hope of success the Admiral would require the assistance of more land forces than are at hand. Probably, having inflicted serious injury on the Confederate fleet, he will shell the city, and by continued activity make a demonstration to prevent help being given to Hood against Sherman in the neighbouring state of Georgia. The Democrats assembled at Niagara Falls are plotting against the re-election of Mr Lincoln, and are resolved, if necessary, to resist VrC\°f TmS an^ attemPt on his part to inti- m l^e electots. ™ to carry out his project of tubing the conamnencie, b the di8aff(.cted s,ate3 In default of M CieHan, who refuses to stand for the Presidency, Mr Dean Richmond, chairman of the New York Central Railway, is the Democratic favourite. In the southern division of the continent, the new Emperor and Empress have been winning golden opinions from the more docile Latin race upon whom they have been so unceremoniously thrust, by that graceful affability which is so cheap but so valuable a weapon of statecraft. To do Maximilian the First justice, he is said to labour- ing hard to get his new empire into working gear, and acting as his own Prime Minister till he shall have discovered to whom he may safely intrust the several departments. In Europe royal visits are the order of the day. The King of Prussia and the Emperor of Austria are consulting at Schonbrun what they ire to do with the Duchies now that they have got them, t' and the question does not promise to be easy o solution. The EmpRror Napoleon has been trying his hand at a Spanish marriage, but with less suc- cess than his predecessor. However compliant that curious piece of royalty the King of Spain, Don Francesco d'Assissi, has shown himself during his visit to Paris, Queeo Isabella rejects with dindaia the offer of the hand of the Princess Anna Murat ror the Infante Don Enrique. It is now hoped chat the heir to the throne of Italy, Prince Hum- bert, about to visit the French Emperor, may be more elastic. English members of Parliament continue to fill up their leisure by making speeches to their con- stituents. Sir John Trelawny has avenged upon the electors of Tavistock the indifference of the House of Commons by inflicting upon them a monster oration about things in general. lie is a 11 r, great admirer of the Ministers as individuals. Mr Gladstone is 'a man of immense power;' but the climax is the Lord Chancellor, a man of enormous power,' to whom Dissenters ought to be thankful for having pointed out a solution of the church- rate question—the appropriation of the penalties of praemunire to be enforced against the Bishops for condemning Essays and Reviews. Then he re- grets the loss to the Ministry of that I i-ery able man,' Mr Lowe, and another most able man,' Mr Stansfeld. The Ormskirk and Southport Agricul- tural Society has had the advantage of a thought- ful, and a short, speech from Lord Stanley, but even he has nothing very new to say on agriculture. He can only recommend that good tenants should have leases, to which good landlords do not object The difficulty is with bad tenants and bad landlords At Sheffield Mr Roebuck is quite conservative. t'ear'em has grown a good-natured, gentleman- like dog. He has taken the House of Commons under his protection, and defends them good- hnmouredly from those who talk of 'a do-nothing Session,' by showing that to have remained per- fectly neutral in the American war, to have re- frained from helping Denmark, and to have refused Reform, were in themselves certain definite courses of action which required as strong an exercise of choice as he would have used in a contrary direc- tion had he been Premier. But he defers to that wise old gentleman, Lord Palmerston. The thriving mercantile town of Belfast has been Z, for days the battle-field on which the Orangemen and Roman Catholics, unmolested by police or military, have brought their respective creeds to the bloody abitrement of pike and gun. Nothing has been seen like it in Great Britain since the Bristol riots, and the magistrates seem to have been quite as much to blame as on that lamentable occasion. Mr Smith O'Brien would have been de- lighted, had he been alive, to see anything in Ireland so nearly approaching to a civil war. Sir George Grey has at length done something to place the law of penal servitude on a safer foot- ing. The leading festtures of the new regulations which embody the Act of last Session are that, as a general rule, criminals sball undergo the punish- ment to which they have been sentenced; that industry and not the power of making believe to have been converted is to be the condition of in- dulgence; aud that in case criminals are released on ticket-of-leave, they shall continue under the surveillance of the police.

WABREN.—A meeting in behalf of the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts was held in the National School Room, on the 18th inst., when ad- dresses were delivered by the deputation, the Rev. S. Perceval, and the neighbouring clergy. A collection at the close amounted to 44 10s. 3d ACCIDENT.—An accident occurred at Llangwarren, on Thursday last, toThomas Jenkii s, a jock"y, by which he sustained severe injuries. Jenkins was riding a colt, which he was 'breaking,' when it became restive, and crushed him with such violence against a gate near Llanffwarren as to break his ribs and dislocate his shoulder. He "lao received other injuries. The unfor- tunate man was attended to by Dr J. V, Phillios, under whose care he is progressing favourably towards re- covery. SCHOOL OF INDUSTRY.—On Thursday, the 18tb inal. the children of this school bad, through the kindness of the friends of the institution, the pleasure of spending the day on the sands at Broad Haven. The children seemed thoroughly to enjoy their holiday, and alter din- ner played on the sands until tea, which was prepared for them on the green. While many friends of the school who were present fully entered into the enjoyment of the children, their sympathies were awakened for the poor mistress, to whom it was a day of sorrowful asso- ciation, as she had to mourn the loss of a dear little one who made one of the happy groap last year. May the children, whose temporal and eternal welfare is sought to be promoted in this school, learn to love that Saviour who has said, I Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not, for of suoh is the kingdom of Heaven.' ACCIDENT.—On Saturday evening an accident occurred near the Old Bridge, by which a man named Howells, a carter in the employ of the Messrs Harvey, of the Haver- fordwest Mills, and a valuable horse belonging to that firm, were seriously injured. It appears that a light spring cart, drawn by one horse, was being driven down the Holloway in the direction of the Old Bridge, and Howells was going towards it, riding a spirited horse. Howell on seeing the cart approaching drew aside to let it pass, but the cart being driven to the side of the road on which Howells had halted, the latter attempted to pass on to the other side, when his horse became restive, and a collision ensued, in which a shaft of the cart was thrust into the bock of one of the legs of the horse ridden uy Howells, and broken off. The horse ran off with the piece of shaft protruding, and in its plunges, threw Evans with considerable violence to the ground. The affrighted animal rushed along the Bridge-street, where it was turned, and the piece of timber fell out of the wound, and it was shortly afterwards secured. Howells was picked up in an insensible state, and was found to be much injured about the shoulders and right tide. The driver ot the cart was uninjured, and having re.arranMd the harness, drove off, leaving the spectators in ignorance as to his name and residence. VOLUNTEERS v. REGULARS.—The return match between 15 members of the Haverfordwest Volunteers and the same number of Regulars selected from the Regiments forming the 8th depot battalion at Pembroke-dock came I jffat Penally on Wednesday. The first match, it will be recollected, took place at Haverfordwest Range. when the Volunteers were victorious Dy 35 marks; but on this occasion the Regulars fully retrieved their lost laurels, winning by 21 marks. The ranges were 200,400, and 600 yards, five shots at each. At the first range the Regulars were in advance of their opponents by II marks, but at the 400 yards the Volunteers improved their shootine, and headed the Regulars by 12. In the shooting at 61)0 yards, the Regulars again bad the advantage of 22 marks. The aggregate total at the three ranges was as follows: — Regulars 494: Volunteers 473. The former, therefore, won by 21 marks, the weather was exceedinglv fine, and but for a strong wind from the right would have been all that could be wishea for rifle shooting. There were two ranges on the ground, and both wçre in use at the same time, the Volunteers shooting at the ranee on the left, and the Regulars at the one on the right. The arrangements were excellent, and everything WetS conducted in the best possible spirit. Major Burnside, Rifle Instructor to the Battalion, and Lieut Galbraith, Assistant Instructor, were present, and nfforded every facility to the various competitors. Col. Peel also accompanied the Volunteers, and remained on the ground during the whole of the snooting. At the conclusion of the match, the Voluntters were invited to Penally Barracks, where they were entertained in the most hospitable manner by their opponents. The best of edibles and drinkables were provided in oounteous profusion, to whieh both Volunteers and Regulars did ample justice. The invitation being liberally extended to the friends of bo,h cart iff, the attendance at the dinner tahle was very numerous, there being at'out 70 present. The Regulars did all in their power to promote the comfort of their quests, and we are desired to convey the thanks of the Volur.teers to their opponents for their courtesy and kind hospitality. We should mention tr, .t the Great Western and Pembroke and ten by Railway Companies permitted the Volunteers to go and return over their lines at the hingie fare lor the double journey. Ihe following is the score: — regulars. 200 400 600 Total Sergi Major Rodgers U 9 SQ Sergt Paplett 10 36 Corp pike !° 7 32 Col Sergt M'Chirg J3 5 37 Col Sergt Taylor ° 14 8 Corp Bromley 8 33 Private Smith, 37th regt '5 7 40 Smith, 2-15th regt H 13 37 Sergt M'Nally 12 12 Jo 34 Corp Probert H 7 34 Sergt Kinnaird H 5 5 21 Sergt Brady 15 15 10 40 Private Hubbard" 12 H 37 S< rgt Boulger H 7 4 22 Sergt Ruihton 8 15 6 29 494 VOLUNTEERS.

SURGICAL OPERATION.—A novel operation wa- per- formed last wpek by J. Dudley Phillips, Fsq a-ssisted by G. Birch, Esq., on a poor man at Spi:tai. who was n martyr to cancer of the lower lip, the whole of whie' was removed owing to the existence of a tumour, and 1 In- vacant place supplied by a piece of new flesh taken from the poor man's face. If this proves a success, which. from report it seems likely to do, it certainly redound- to the credit of these gentlemen to have undertaken s., bold and serious an operation when other medical gentlemen bad dismissed the case as incurable. KILGBRRAN LAWRENCE FAIR.-This annual fair f. r the sale of stock, &c., was held on the 19th and 20th instant. There was a large supply of stock of ail descriptions, but in consequence of the scnrci y of gra.*s at the present time, the demand was sra^ll, and few transactions occurred in beasts of a lean and inferior kind. and the few files effected were at reduced rates. Good and fat beasts met with a ready sale at former rates. The supply of horses was large, and some of them realised high rates: the greater part of the business done was in colts, which brought from X5 to t7 each. For sheep and lambs there was a fair enquiry, and the majority changed hand. at average rates. Good pigs were in demand, and porkers and sucklings sold steadily at advanced rates. SCHOOL FOB DEAF AMD DUMB. LLANDAIT — We would direct attention to the advertisement in another column, relating to the above institution, which has been the means of conferring the greatest benefit upon many natives of the Principality who have the misfortune of being (teat and dumb. The instructor of the school is Mr A. Mel- ville, whose interesting sketch of the late William De Courcy, a pupil of the above school, and a native of this town. was lately published in these columns, and whose abilities as a teacher of the deaf and dumb are of a very superior order. It will be seen from the advertisement to which we refer that the children of the poor are boarded and educated at the extremely low sum of £ 10 a year, and it is certainly a matter of surprise that there should be so large a number of deaf and dumb persons uninstrucred when education can be obtained on such reasonable terms at the Llandaff Institution. Children of the middle classes are admitted at the rate of X20 a year. The instruction provided is of such a nature as will best meet the wants of this amicted class, special attention bt'ing paid to the religioas training, which is in accordance with the doctrines of the Church of England. Forms of appli- cation for the admission of children may be obtained at the school, Ltandaff, where all further particulars will be given. THE FENCK MONTHS FOR SALMON FISHING—At a Quarter Sessions held in April la,t, a resolution was passed recommending an alteration of tha fence months for salmon fishing. The resolution (which was introduced by Mr Harford) was to the effect tuat the fence months for salmon fishing be ordered to be closed from the 1st of October in each year, until the 1st of March following. In accordance with the requirements of the Act of Par- liament, the resolution was forwarded to the Home Secretary, from whom the following reply has been received:— "Whitehall, 16th August 1864, SIR,-I am directed by Secretary Sir George Grey, to acknowledge the receipt of the resolution of the Court of Quarter Sessions for the County of Pembroke, as t,) varying the close time of Fishing in the rivers and waters in that county; and I am to inform you that the Inspector of Fisheries cannot recommend the extension of the open season as proposed. Th»y consider that early closing is essentially nee'sgary to secure a sufficient stock of breeding fish the extension of the close season in Spring they think would he judicious to allow the spent fi,h to clear out of the rivers. The Inspectors are convinced that no river in England or Wales liao yet a sufficient stock of breeding fish, and that at present an extension of the open season would greatly extend the progress of improvement which is very Hatisfactory. and is mainly owing to the early period of closing the fishing season provided by the Act of 1861. I am. Sir, Your obedient servant, W. WADDINOTON. The Clerk of the Peace for Pembrokeshire." ROOSE PETTY SESSIONS. These sessions were held at the Shire Hall on Saturday before Capt. Philipps, of Dale Castle; O. E. Davies Esq., A. B. Starbuck, Esq., J. P. Jones, Esq., and Rev' P. Phelps. ON -1* AY M KMT OF WAGES.

These sessions were held on Wednesday, at the Sbire aall, before the Mayor, H. P. Goode, Esq., Capt. Butler, and 8. Harford, Esq. DRUNKENNESS AND RIOTOUS CONDUCT.

ASSAULT. Edward Vaughan, a labourer, residing at North Gate, was charged with assaulting Maria Morgan, of North Gate. This case (which had been adjourned fiom a previous session) was settled out of Court. LICENSES. This being the annual sessions for the granting of licences, G5 applications were made for the renewal of licences, which were in every instance granted. SURETIES OF THE PEACB.—At the Magistrates' Clerk's Office, on Thursday, before S. Harford. Esq., Maria Morris, wife of Robert Morris, of the lato firUl of Morris and Bevan, of Bridge-street, was charged with using insulting language towards M r James Prica, of Gloucester- terrace. The accused was bound over in one surety of itIO to keep the peace for three months. Her husband became her surety, and she was discharged. CAMBRIAN ARCHAEOLOGICAL SOCIETY. The eighteenth annual meeting of the above Society was commenced at the Shire Hall on Monday evening, under the Presidency of J. H. Scourfield, Esq., M.P.,and continued on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and to-day (Friday). The extent of the Society's operations during the four days renders it impossible for us to do more this week than to present a very brief outline of its proceedings. A very large amount of work was performed on each day, and it is certainly highly creditable to those gentle- men who had the management of the meeting, that every thing was transacted in the most orderly and satisfactory manner. There was no mishap of the slightest character, and throughout the whole meetings and excursions there was a regularity and method which one could hardly expect to find at a meeting of such magnitude. The suc- cess of the meeting is due in a great measure to the energy and good business habits ot the local secretary, the Rev J. Tombs, of Burton Rectory, whose efforts in behalf of the Society were acknowledged in the warmest manner at the meeting held last evening. Mr Tombs has mani- fested the greatest interest in the Archeological Society, and we venture to assert that one more competent for the task which he so kindly consented to perform could not have been found in the county. The rev gentleman possesses ex- tensive information of the history of the County of Pem- broke, and a good proof that he is an earnest as well as a careful and industrious student may be found in the very interesting lecture, entitled 'Concerning Pem broke, hire,' which be delivered last year at Milford, and which has lately been published by request. At the meeting last evening, one of the speakers (the President we believe) referred to the names of persons in Pembrokeshire, and stated that he considered them to be deserving of atten. tion. In Mr Tombs's lecture there are several valuable passages relating to nomenclature in Pembrokeshire, which may well serve as the base of a work on the subject, and we trust that the rev gentleman, who has acquitted himself so well in the narration of matters con cerning Pembrokeshire as to make us wish to bear him acain, will consider the suggestion of the President worthy of h s consideration, and be induced to continue his researches on a subject so interesting and entertaining. The services of the local treasurer of the Society, Mr Johu W. Phillips, deserve a special recognition, and to him a vote of thanks was tendered on Thursday evening on the proposition of Mr Tombs, who referred in complimentary terms to the able assistance rendered by Mr Phillips. There are several other gentlemen, who by their activity in promoting the arrangements, and their courtesy in affording information to parties seeking it, contributed in an eminent degree to the success of the meeting; and amongst them we may mention the Rev. James Allen, Caatlemartin, Rev. E. Barnewell, Ruthin, Dr Wollaston, Rev. Mr Smith, of Gumfreaton, and Pro- fessor Babington. The first meeting, as we have already stated, was held on Monday evening. In the absence of Sir John Walsh, whose serious illness prevented his being present on the occasion, J. H. Scourfield, Esq, M.P., was unanimously called upon to preside. There was a large number of the county clergy present on the occasion, as well as several mem- bers of the society from distant parts of England. Mr Scourfield, on taking the chair, expressed the great bonour he felt had been conferred on him by his being elected to preside on the occasion. He also briefly stated the nature of the society, and the various objects which it sought to achieve. He dwelt at some length on the useful and instructive nature of the work of the arch- aeologist. By a close attention to the dim, grey relics of former ages, the archeologist was enabled to divide and render clear that which the progress of time and events had involved in obscurity and doubt. The County of Pembroke, with its ancient cathedral, churches, castles, and earthworks, he said, was an exceedingly fertile field of labour for the archaeologist and antiquarian. Mr Scourfield concluded a most pleasing and instructive ad- dress, by calling on the secretary to read the annual report of the Association. The secretary having read the report, the Rev. Mr Smith, of Gumfreston, was called upon to read a paper, on the Bones and P'lint Imple- ments found in Caldy Island, floyle's, and Pembroke Castle Caves, and other parts of Pembrokeshire.' The paper was of a highly interesting nature, and had been carefully prepared by the reader, who, in introducing it to the meeting said he had bistowed a little more trouble on his remarks than he now found was nreeseary. He had expected to see the large hall filled with people, who were not so thoroughly acquainted with the objects of the society as those around him. Mr Smith gave an tf; un' uf those matters which had come under hia own qbnemUon, an4 wgre the results of his own reswohca, in a most interesting n mrur. lie als. -.si'"t ■; bv the pr,)dtj(,tion )f aT,d tiei, which he ha d himself found in a cave at Cuidy Islan i, •rjbedded in tl e flint r u-k. At the close of Mr Smith's highly intereriig addregi, Professor B ibington pai(I it well-deserved oompliment to Mr Sroith for the ftbk- nanner in which he had treated his suhj-x-t, and said that it would ho well if other gent.emcn voiild thus note down the various objects of internal in their own I locality as those things when published in the society's Journal, would greatly interest their friend* in all parts of the country. As things stood it present, the work was most unfairly allowed to remain on the shoulders nf: a few. The arrangements were then made for the fol- lowing days' excursion, after which the meeting separated. On Tuesday the proceedings commenced at nine o'clock, and the first excursion was made. There were a goodlv number of persons present, who were conveyed in vehicles provided by the Association. Among the places visited were Haverfordwest Priory, — Haroldston Mediasval Mansion. -Litngwm Churoh and Monuments. -Benton Castle.—Burton Intrenchment. Church, and Baptistry (?).-Cromlech or Stone Gallery.—Rh >smarkt t Churoh and Rath.-J obnston Church, Hagioscope.—Old Rectory House.—Robeston Churcb,-Bolton Beacon.— The excursionists were most hospitably entertained by Mr Scourfield, at his residence, at Williamston. In the • vering there was a meeting at the Shire Hall, at. which the attendance though small, was larger than on the pre. vious occasion. On Wednesday, the excursionists assembled at eight o'clock, and visited Roch Castle. — Pointz Castle Tumulus.—St Elviq Cromlech and Intrenchmenl-St, David's Cathedral; Bishop's College.—Menapia.—At the meeting held on Thursday, Professor Babbington gave an interesting account of the places visited during the day, and in the course of his observations mentioned a circum- stance which occasioned great regret among the audience. He stated that in the neighbourhood of St. David's a farmer had told him that by a gate in his yárd there was a stone with marks on it. He went to the spot, which was pointed out to him, and found a very early monumental stone placed wrong side upwards with letters upon it, and used as a gate post. He was also informed that at some distance from the fence there had been a well, which was celebrated for it" valuable properties, and had probably been sacred at an early period. The stone and two others had been removed from the well, and the latter had been fixed up in the walls about the fields. It was a great misfortune that those things, which were probably much older than tbe see of St. David's, should be used for such purposes, and he trusted that some public spirited person at'St. David's, would interfere, and preserve them. They had the saored symbols upon them, and it was quite possible they might he placed in some portion of St. David's Cathedral, which he was glad to learn was about to he restored, or rather carefully preserved under the direction of an eminent architect. It was quite pos- sible that the letters would be made out; they were very plain. The stone was very old, and being covered with vegetation and placed wrong side upwards, it was difficult to make out the letters on an immediate examination, and he could only feel the figure" if the stones were cteanef].the letters might be easily read. It struck him that the "tones were like those found in Ireland, belonging to the -5th or 6th century. He trusted that an effort would be made to preserve them.—Refreshments on a most liberal scale were provided at St. David's by the clergy residing at that place. On Thursday :be members made an excursion on foot through Haverfordwest, visiting St. Thomas Church: St. Mary's Church and Monuments: Gothic Doorway. Old Houses: St. Martin's Church, sedilia, piscina, tomb" The Castle: Portion of Town W;tll(?) and Moat Thr museum was also inspected. It was held ip the Gran- Jury Room in the Shire Hall, and contained very many objects of i terest. This department was under the charce of Mr T. J. White and Mr John J:unes, of the firm of Messrs James and Sons, who spent much time and trouhle in arranging the various articles. It is impossible to enumerate all the objects exhibited, and we mu-t therfore content ourselves with noticing the rno-t im- portant ot them. Tbe Rev J. H. A. Philipps and the Rev J. Tombs con ributed a large number ot articles, which, taken altogether, were the moat attractive in the museum.
