SUMMARY. The Government continue to push forward the amalgamated Reform Bill-whether with the hope of carrying the whole, or with that of carrying a part, or intending to commit the House of Commons to certain principles and details to be embodied in a future Reform Bill, or to see what turn things may take, or because it is less easy to stop than to go on. We shall probably be safe in assuming that to nail the House definitely to a certain county and a certain borough franchise—to gain ground which may be treated as won when the next battle is fought-to secure another pledge for what Mr Gladstone calls < the re- forming party'—is a portion at least of the I object in view. The Opposition, for their part wince naturally and reasonably enough at Z:D t?i ^jectecl nailing process^ and would willingly elude it by any practicable manoeuvre. Such a manceuvre was Lord fetanley s motion, that the franchise question should not be proceeded with in Committee before the redistribution of seats but it was by no means a successful one: Lord Grosvenor and his friends refused to follow Lord Stanley; the Cave' was broken up; and Ministers had a majority of 27 in a very full house. This defeat, it is said, drew after it the subse- quent discomfiture of Mr Walpolo's amend- ment, which would have fixed the county franchise at P,20, and to which there was at one time a vague expectation that the Govern- ment might agree. In the debate on it there was little, it must be owned, of solid argument on either side. Mr Walpole sees an advantage • in taking a figure which substantially, although not accurately, represents the quali- fication for serving on juries. Mr Gladstone insists that his own figure, which he cannot deny is purely arbitrary, will I enfranchise the middle classes.' The one wTl pour into the county constituencies a less number of the shopkeepers and small house-holders who inhabit large villages and country towns, the other a greater; the one will alter the character of those constituencies less, the other more. The county franchise question however is not settled while we write; and indeed so considerable a change deserves more discussion than it had undergone when the battle for reporting progress occurred on Mondav nijrht Tho proposal for abolishing primogeniture has been suffered to sleep, if we miatake not for five or six years. If, in resuscitating it' Mr Locko King wished to try what advance public opinion had made in the interval he can hardly have found the result encouraging. The minority who voted with him was not such as to give promise of being speedily con- verted into a maj ority. The Attorney-General, himself no friend to the piling up of great fortunes or to strict settlements, opposed the Bill on the common grounds, which provoked Mr Bright to a declaration that he should live in hope of hearing him hereafter argue as forcibly on the other side. The accumulation of land in a few hands, which it is the tendency of English law to encourage, has in fact some great evils, which have to be set against those which attend the excessive division of it. And it is probable that in course of time our legislation will be bent into more of conformity with that of other nations than it now exhibits in reference to this subject. But so great a change as the division of inheritancoi-and it really would be a great change, even if the powers of devise and settlement wore suffered to remain unimpaired—touches tho structure of English society, as well as some of its most cherished prejudices and habits; and tho Houso of Commons represents English society with its prejudices and habita even more than it represents the nation. The Princess Mary's marriage was cele- brated on Tuesday, amid general and sincere ■wishes for her future welfare. The provision made for her had previously been raised by Parliament to the modest amount of £ ,3,000 a year. If there is to bo a groat and calamitous war, the piay of moves and couucer-moves between Austria and Prussia is but a mean preparation for it, and indeed this empty altercation about the arrangement* uf GasteLn and Vienna, and 0 as to who hww brvkvu tloig uad who has not, is such as one cannot witness without a certain impatience. Austria convokes the Estates of Holstein; Prussia thereon convokes those of both Duchies together, appoints a Governor of her own for both, and pours troops into Holstein, before which the little Austrian force retires to Altona, on its extreme verge. The effect is, that Prussia has gained sole possession of the two Duchies, tho entiro bone of contention, yet pretending all the time to Z" hold merely as joint-occupant with Austria, and throwing on the latter tho responsibility of beginning a war. If she submits to tho seizure, for what has she armed ? If she de- termines to resent it, sho has no means of doing so except by invading Prussia and thus accepting the odious position of an aggressor. It is not the only thing she has to resent; for Count Bismarck had previously issued a circular despatch, accusing tho Emperor of personally desiring war, and such throughout in tone and language as a Minister could hardly write unless hostilities were instant and inevitable. Count Mensdorff's reply has the merit at least of dignity and self-control; and hitherto no actual rupture has taken place, no recall of Ministers from Berlin or Vienna, and no hostile movement in the great armies which are being massed in Bohemia and Silesia and along both frontiers of Saxony. The debate in the House of Commons on Monday night aroso really from a report that Lord Russell had written individually to the Austrian Court, or somebody in it, urging a cession of Venetia. Mr Gladstone neither admitted nor denied it, and we must take it to be true. It is useless writing, as it was useless talking, about a fact so vaguely ascertained; but we should be glad, at the proper time, to know exactly, not only what has been done, but whether it had the approval of the Cabinet.

THE NEW MILFORD DOCKS BILL received the Royal Assent on Monday last.

ROOSE PETTY SESSIONS. These8essioDswereheldattheShirfiH.il" ox before Rev P. PbelDs A B s,.?, 1 on Saturday, Roberts, Esq, and 0$'Chi'ld UrbUOk' E61' J' D' STEALING AND FELONIOUSLY RECEIVING James Grunna, of Milford, was char-ed with «tn„r quantity of metal nails, the property of Mr J K w g a hurst, Mil;)builder, of Milford, and Rkhard Vena^T marine store dealer, of Milford, was charped witn i v niausly receiving the same knowing thorn to have been stolen. 1Ilr W. John appeared for tbo prosecution. The nri SOIKTS dmied the charge. A.S. Carrol! deposed that he net Venablcs in the street at Jlakin 011 the yth of June, h'e was carrvjDg a ha" and he stopped him, and enquired what he had in It. He replied I only old rays.' lie told him to put it down, and let hi:n see what was in it. He put it down, and he searched it and found three packages ot composition nails and bolts in the bottom of it- He enquired where he had the nails, and ::fter n long panse, he said ho bought them of the prisoner Grunna. He asked how many funds were there, when 110 said lie ditt nor know. lie .vkod if he ('id not wei;i ft, !1r:ft l-c replied I ()ii, seven p iunds, and I paid is fer it." Ho a.-ked if he enteivd it 1.1 Ill's book, and he said he had not his book with him. Hi too!ii the nie.fai, snyirg that lie woe'd take care of it. Mcv.-r.t into Ver.ubles' shop, aid weighed tho mcrnl: i.o ght of it was 21 lbs. 110 then went to Grunna, and asked if ho sold any metal to Venablcs: he nppeared i!, it Hurry, and after a short time, said hy had. lie asked Low rnac'i ho ball sold hira, wlrvi Le taid 110 did not know, a*ut taat he did not weigh it. Iu uuiwtr to tions, he said he received 7s for it, and that it was some old stuff picked up on the shore by children, and part of it only sweepings of the yard. Ho did not say what yard, but he looked towards the yard of the prosecutor. When he Berved him with the summons on the 7th, he said they were in the habit of taking things which had been found in the sweepings of the yard, and that was done before by others as well as himself. In cross-examination, the witness denied that the prisoner Venables told him there were seven lbs. in each package, making 21 Ibs. altogether, and that he had old metal as well as rags. P.C. Bradbury corroborated A.S. Carroll's testimony. Mr Wimshurst deposed that in conjunction with his partner, Mr Watson, he carried on the business of a ship- builder at Hakin. The prisoner Grunna had been in his employ for about five or six months up to the 5th of June, and worked in the yard at Hakin. It was a part of his duty to sweep the yard, and to collect any old metal and give it to the storekeeper. He was not authorised to sell any, and he (witness) was not aware he had sold any to Venables. The nails produced were similar to those used in the yard: some of the nails were peculiar, and were not used by any other builder in the port of Milford. They were patent nails; they were grooved, and were used for fastening metal sheathing. In working some of them were bent, and fell to the bottom of the dock. They were afterwards picked up, and sent back to the manufacturer to be re-manufactured. Ho believed the nails produced were his property. In cross-examination, the witness said that new nails were worth Is a lb, and that be had G £ d a lb. for the old ones from the manufacturer. He did not receive (Hd in money, but was allowed that in the purchase of new ones. This was the case for the prosecution. Venables said that he told the policeman that he had old metal in the bag, and that the weight of it was 21 lbs. He purchased it for 7s of Grunna, who told him it was not stolen. He paid at the rate of 4d a lb, which was a fair price for it. Grunna said that he took none of the articles from his master's yard: they had been picked up outside the yard. The metal was thrown over the wall when it was removed, and the nails were picked up on the shore. Mr Wimshurst said he had no wish to press the charge against Grunna but he had lost from 15 cwt to 18 cwt of metal and it was necessary that be should en- deavour to put a stop to it. He, however, would be quite satisfied if the case was dropped so far as Grunna was concerned. • Thn Bench dismissed the ca?e, the evidence being insuilicient to justify a conviction. Mr John stated that it was the intention of the prose- cutor to apply for another summons against Venables for receiving metal which had been unlawfully obtained. The Clerk asked Venabies whether he would consent to the charge being heard then; if he did not, sum- monses would be issued for next sessions. Venables said he should like the case heard then, as it would save him a journey from Milford next Saturday. The Court then proceeded to try the charge of being in possession of old metal, which had been unlawfully obtained, when the same evidence was given as in the former case. The Bench fined the defendant 40s and costs; in default of payment imprisonment for one month. DESERTING SERVICE. Ann Ecans, agricultural servant, was charged with deserting the service of Mr J. P. Jones, of Sutton Lodge, The case was adjourned till next sessions. [Mr Jones left the Bench when this case was called OD.J DAMAGE BY A DOG TO SHEEP. Maria Shrubsole, of Langum, was summoned by Mr Philip Tombs, of Burton, for damage done by her dog to his sheep. a The case had been adjourned from last sessions for the production of the dog. The defendant produced the dog, and the complainant's witness having examined it, was unable to identify it and the case was dismissed. The defendant applied for costs, which were allowed.

THE ANCIENT CITY OF ST. DAVID'S. The following historical sketch, extracted from a work not within the reach of the general public may encrease the interest which at this season of the year, and at this particular period draws intellectual Excursionists to visit the venerable Fane standing in this remote and secluded spot:— "The Cathedral of St. David we hardly need say de- rives its name from the tutelary saint of Wales and at is *east Part °f its connection with the holy man, as we shall see by a brief notice of his life. He was the son of a Prince of Cardigan (whose name we need not transcribe, considering that it requires some seven words-and those Welsh onef-to do so), and was born about tho middle of the fifth century. After a long period of study, first of general knowledge and PltnHeHarei' 8|'CjDdi}y °f divinity. h<s settled in a se- oluded place cahed the Valley .'of Roses, established a relIgIOus house, i-nd brought around him a considerable number of scholars. The discipline he caused to be ob- served was unusually strict and severe. All were bound 11 .Pur with their own hands for the common welfare all gifts or possessions offered by unjust men were to be refused, and a batred of wealth was to be cherished. 'They never conversed together by talking but when necessity required, but each performed the labour en- joined him, joined thereto prayer or holy meditations on divine things; and having finished their country work they returned to their monastery, where they spent the remainder of the day till the evening in reading or writ- ing. In the evening, at the sounding of a bell, they all left their work, and immediately repaired to the church, where they remained till the stars appeared and then went all together to their refection, eating sparingly and not to satiety. Their food was bread with roots or herbs seasoned with salt, and their thirst they quenched with a mixture of water and milk. Supper being ended they continued about three hours in watchings, prayers' and genuflections. As long as they were in church it th*i» permitted to any to slumber, or sneeze, &c. After thia they went to rest, and at cock-crowin^ they rose and continued at prayer till day appeared. Ail their inward sensations and thoughts they discovered to the r Superior, and from him they demanded permission In things, 'l lieir clothing wU.kin. offiK S.no tornin Martyrum.) v Rapidly did the place, and still more so did its founder rise into repute. When the Pelagian heresy, Jit X c,. Ld. reappcaied in VVales, a Synod was called, about oil), to endeavour to chcek HS progress. Moved by re- peated entreaties, David at last consented to repair thi ther and personally engage in the undertaking and says Gir,,tldus, When all tlae fathers assembled enjoined St David to preach, he commanded a child which attended him, and had lately been restored to life by him to spread a napkin under his feet; and standing upon it, he t0 ex.oound the gospel and the law to the auditory. All the while that his oration continued, a snow-white dove, descending from heaven, sat upon his shoulders; and, moreover, the earth on which he stood raised itself under him till it became a hill, from whence his voice, like a trumpet, was clearly heard and understood by all, both near and lar off.If any doubt the truth of these some- what marvellous statements let them go to the spot, and there to this day they will assuredly find a little hill, and a church (Llandewi-Brefi) built upon it in commemora- tion of the event above mentioned. To return, however to St. David: it appears the assembly were so delighted with his eloquence and zeal in opposing the obnoxious doc- trines, that they unanimously called upon him to accept the Archbishopric of Caerleon, one of three Archiepisco- pal scats (York and London being the others) into which England wa3 then divided. David accepted the honours and duties, but on tho condition of removing the See to Menevia, the establishment he bad founded in the Valley ot Roses. The period of these interesting events was tho reign of that most interesting of sovereigns—King Arthur. Five and twenty Archbishops in succession filled the Arcliiepiscopal seat, and then the last of tho number withth-cw with all his clergy to Brittany, and after the lapse of sonic time the See became subject to Canterbury. Such was the origin and history of the pre- sent bishoprio of Si. David's. The Cathedral stands near the sea shore, amidst the wreck of various religious edifices, and in a City which itself is but a wreck of what it was, when Pilgrims thronged from all parts of Britain to pay their respects to fct. David's Shrine, which is still preserved in the Cathedral, and exhibits four reccsses for the receipt of 0 lit rings. Pope Calixlus ordained that two pilgrimages to this plnoe should be reckoned as equivalent to one to home. Among tho monarchs who are known to have come hither may be meutioied, tho Conqueror, Henry II, and Edward 1. and Eleanor. (jirakius relates a pleasnnt anecdote in connection with the visit of the Second Henry. Across the river Aim w!i;eh run* through the Cathedral oreeinctH, there was in very ancient times a beautiful marble bridge, consist- ing of a tun^-ie bJab, measuring ten feet in length, by six in breadth and one in deptD. Henry II., 011 his return fr-jiu Iicbud, is said to itavo passed wiit this yivac More ha entered the church. Proceeding towards the Shrine I of St. David, habited like a pilgrim and leaning on his staff, he met at the White Gate a procession of the Canons, coming forth to receive him with due honour and rever- ence. As the procession moved along a Welsh woman threw herself at the King's feet, and made a complaint againet the Bishop of the place, which was explained to the King by an interpreter; the woman, immediate attention not being paid to her petition, with violent gesticulations, and a Joud impertinent voice, exclaimed repeatedly,—' Vindicate us this day, Lechlavan Re- venge us and the nation in this man!'—alluding to a vulgar fiction and proverb of Merlin, that a King of England and Conqueror of Ireland should be wounded in that country by a man with a red hand, and die upon Lechlavan on his return through Menevia. The King, who had heard of the prophesy, approached the stone, stopped for a short time at the foot of it, lookiDg earnestly at it, boldly passed over; then turning roand and looking towards the stone, thus indignantly inveighed against the Prophet: 'Who will hereafter give credit to the lying Merlin?' One of the bystanders then called out in a loud voicc,—'Thou art not that king by whom Ireland is to bo conquered, or of whom Merlin prophesied The Cathedral, which was erected by Peter, the forty- ninth Bishop, is partly in the Normar, partly in the Pointed style, three hundred and seven feet long, with a lofty square tower at the west end, and a lofty choir. The Bishop's Throne is of exquisite workmanship, and the rood, loft, screen, and roof are greatly admired. Giraldus Cambrensis, from whose writings we have bor- rowed the preceding anecdotes, lies buried here, obtaining in death that position among the Bishops of the See which he failed to obtain in his life time; but to which his virtues, and the twice-recorded suffrages of the Chap- ter of St. David's so well entitled hito,—Communicated by GULIELMUS C. Haverfordwest, 7th June, 1866.

CHARGE OF UTTERING BASE COIN. Charles Argus, a native of Haverfordwest, and John Thompson, a stranger, were charged with uttering false coin, and with having counterfeit coins to the number of three or more in their possession. Mr W. John appeared for the prosecution and Mr Price attended to watch the case on behalf of the prisoners. Mr John having opened the case, called Elizabeth Mathias, who deposed: I am the wife of Charles Mathias, currier, and live in Dew Street. J know the prisoner Argus by sisht. On the morning of Friday last, the 8th of Juno, about eleven o'clock, Argus came into my husband's shop, and asked for a pair of thongs. I told him we had nothing but whipcord laces. He said: 'They will do.' I gave him a pair of whipcord laces, and he put half a crown on the counter. I took it up in my hand, and fancied it was bad. I said 41 don't think this is a good half-crown:' he said: Do you think not ?' I said: 'The only way to test it is to weigh it. I will take the scales and weigh it, and see whether it is a good one.' I weighed it with a good half-crown, and found it was lighter. I said: 'It is a bad half-crown.' Is it?' he said 'Yes,' I replied. 4Well,' he said, 'I have been beaten once in my lifetime whatever. I have nothing but a sovereign 1 shall not change that.' I then took the laces back, and he was turning out when Mr Supt Cecil came in. I cannot say what took place then; Mr Cecil told me to fetch my husband. Thomas Stephen Cecil deposed: I am the son of Supt Cecil. I am fourteen years of age. In consequence of what my father told me, I went up to Dew Street on Friday morning. I saw the prisoners there on that day. They went up the street together. They were first by the shop of Mr Phillips, the ironmonger, a little below Mr Mathias's shop. They stopped when they came to Mr Phillips's shop, and looked in at the window. They then went on together about fifty yards, and then stopped. Thompson then spoke to Argus, and Argus turned back, and went into Mr Mathias's shop. Thompson stood waiting on the pavement. I went to Mr Mathias's win- dow, and looked in. I saw Mrs Mathias with a piece of money in her hand testing the weight of it. I went down and told my father. I went up Dew Street for the pur- pose of watching the prisoners. Supt Cecil deposed: On Friday morning last, incon- sequence of what my son told me, I went to the shop of Mr Mathias in Dew Street. I found Argus coming out of the shop in the passage: he was in the act of putting something in his pocket. I searched him: ho put his hand in his pocket the same time, and took out a purse in his hand. I took it from him, apd commenced search- ing him. In the purse was this half-crown, and a sove- reign. The sovereign is good; the half-crown is counter- feit. I pushed him on through the shop to the kitchen, and called upon Mrs Mathias to fetch her husband. I then commenced a more minute search, while Mrs Mathias was gone for her husband. I asked him if he had any more: he said: 4 No more—at least no more than a four- penny. piece/ He was going to take it out of his waist- coat pocket, but I took it out. That was a good one, and is hero. Mr Mathias came in, and I handed him over to Mr Mathias's custody. I then went in pursuit of Thomp- son, whom I had previously seen standing about fifty yards above Mr Mathias's shop. Where I saw him there is a turn in the street, and when I came out, I found he had gone. I ran np as fast as I could, and when I got to the turn of the street, I saw him. He looked back over his left shoulder and saw mc: he ran away as sharp as he could. He turned up Ruther Lane, and after he had gone some distance, George Morse came up, and took up the^onning, & caught him. I called upon Morse to assist: he caught Thompson round the shoulders from behind, and I saw prisoner put his hand into the right-band jacket pocket. I could not see what be took out: be brought his hand round to tho front. I called out to Morse to take care he did not get rid of the money, and just at that moment I saw something go over his left shoulder—I could not tell what it was. Morse called out. 4 All right: he has thrown the purse over the hedge.' Prisoner was struggling to get away. I searched him, and in his waistcoat pocket I found the counterfeit half-crown which I now produce. I was going over the fence opposite the place where prisoner was caught, when he said 1 threw nothing over there.' I went over the fence, and on the grass in the field, a few yards inside, I found the pocket I now produce. I found it at the spot which Morse pointed out in the prisoner's presence as the place where he threw the money, and in the direction I saw some- thing thrown. I examined the pocket: it contained eighteen florins, and nine half-crowns, all of which are counterfeit. Some of them wero wrapped up in tissue paper. I told prisoner that he would be charged with having them in his possession: he made no intelligible reply, but laughed and tried to get away. TVith assist- ance I brought him to the Station, and locked him up. He slipped the handcuffs, and tried to get away. George Morso deposed: In live in Dew Street. On Friday morning I went in pursuit of the prisoner Thomp- son, who was running up the Ruther Lane. I caught him; after I had done so, he put his right hand into his coat pocket, and threw a bag over his left shoulder into afield. I bad hold of him by the arms at the time. I saw the bag going over the hedge. Mr Cecil came np when we were struggling against the hedge and said he had seen something going over the hedge. Mr Cecil was in the act of jumping into the field, when the prisoner said, I threw nothing there.' The bag produced is the one. I did not see what was in it. f assisted to take him to the Police Station: he attempted to run away, and got off a couple of times. Capt Stokes deposed: I am Chief Constable of the County of Pembroke. On Thursday last I was going to Narberth between half past nine & half past ten o'clock in the morning, I met the prisoner Argus a little beyond Slebech Church, coming in the direction of Haverford- west. Thompson was with him, and I saw them go some distan^ogether on the road, before I came up to them. Sarah James deposed I am the wife of William James, and live in Saint Martin's. On Thursday last, Argus and Thompson came to my house about one o'clock in the afternoon they came together. They remained there all the afternoon; but were out a couple of times. They lodged there, and slept in the house that night. They went out on Thursday evening: they slept together in the same bed. I was present on Friday when P.C. Morse found some money in their bedroom under a corncr cup- board. I saw it reckoned: it amounted to £ 2 8s 3d. There was a large quantity of copper money, and the rest silver. The bag produced contained the money. The prisoners had not said anything to me about the bag of money. P.C. John Harries: I took Argus and Thompson to prison on Friday afternoon. On the way to prison, Thompson told mo there was a bag of money at his lodgings, containing about £4. lIe said it was on the table in his bedroom, close to a little box. I searched for it, but could not find it. P.C. Ricoord Morse: On Saturday afternoon last I went to Mrs James's house, and found a bag of money on the floor nnder a corner cupboard in a bedroom. I counted it in tho presence of Mrs James and another female: it amounted to £2 8s 3d in copper and silver: it was good money. 0 John Bowen: I keep the Butcher's Arms in thia town. On Thursday Argus and Thompson came into my houso between one and two o'clock in tho afternoon. I had known Argus before I asked him what called him down this way in the middle of the week. He said I A bit of a spree.' Be asked for two two-pennyworths of gin, and tendered me what I supposed to be half a sovereign. I kept it in my hand, and felt it rather slippy; but did not suspect anything, having known Argus before. I took it upstairs and put it in a purse in which 1 kept some other gold. I brought down 9a 8J in change, and gave it to AraU8V I went out to the yard, and was away a minute; wnen I returned the prisoners were gone. The next day 1 took the coin out of the same purse, and handed it to Mr Cecil. There were other half sovereigns in the purso, and I cannot say that the one I gave to Mr Cecil is the one I received from Argus. My wife can identify it. ElIzabeth Bowen: I am the wife of the last witness. On Wednesday last I counted the contents of the purse which contained some half sovereigns. There was no counterfeit half sovereign in it on Wednesday evening. The purse was kept in a drawer in the bedroom there was only one key to the drawer, and no one had access to it, but myself and husband. My eldest danghter had access to the drawer sometimes, but there was only one key, which was handed from me to my husband and from him to me as it Was wanted. I handed him the key on Thursday. I was upstairs when the prisoners came 10, and my husband asked for the key. I had it returned to me that night, and it was kept in my possession till Friday evening, when my husband went upstairs, and said: I am afraid I am in it.' I turned out the contents £ Purse» an^ picked out the half sovereign produced, which was not in it on Wednesday evening. I had not put any into the purse between Wednesday evening and irnday morning. John Bowen rocalled: I had not put any money into the purse except the half sovereign I had from Argus. I handed it over to Mr Cecil. Mr John said that there were a number of other wit- nesses to be examined in support of the series of charges against the prisoners. There were throe cases in which the prisoners wera jointly charged; two separate cases Against Thompson, and seven sepavato cas, J against Argus, making 12 eases altogether. Tho proceedings would cccupy a considerable time, and in accordance with a suggestion of tho Bench, he would consent to the cases being remanded till next Wednesday. The prisoners wero tliea remanded till Wednesday next, at 11 o'clock. i'or.TUXK TELLING. CJi-i/'iydtf IFunti?') (vfUv Iwi a child ia her arms,) was I charged with vagrancy at the parish of Furzy Park, and going about the country telling fortunes. The defendant said that she did not ask the com- plainant to have his fortune told he asked her to do so. Stephen Williams deposed I live at Temperness. I was in a public house on Tuesday, when the prisoner came in, and asked us to give her a glass of beer. We gave it to her, and then she wanted to tell our fortunes. We did not want anything with her. She asked for the loan of a half crown to play a trick with it. I was not willing to give it, but at last I lent it to her, and did not get it back. The Clerk She was going to show you a trick with it, and played you a trick. (Laughter.) Witness Yes, sir. James Thomas gave similar testimony. The Bench committed the defendant to prison for seven days with bard labour. CHARGE OF STEALING A SPONGE AND SCISSORS. William Thomas, horse trainer, of Merlin's Bridge, was charged with stealing a sponge and scissors, of the value of 7s 6d, the property of Capt. Stokes, of the County Constabulary. Capt. Stokes deposed I live at Hermon's Hill in this town. I have a stable opposite my house on the corner of Goat-street, in the parish of St. Thomas. Be- tween the hours of half-past four & half. past five o'clock in the evening of the 2nd of June, I found the prisoner in the saddle room. He had a packet of matches in his hand, and I thought he had stolen them at first. He was pocketing something at the time I apprehended him. He resisted as much as he could, and I was obliged to use violence. He called me a —— lunatic and accused me of stealing a saddle. P. C. Codd took him out of my custody near the residence of Mr Rowe in Goat-street. I went to the saddle room, to see if anything was lost, and sent for my servant. I then went to the Police Station, where I saw the prisoner, P. C. Codd, and I think young Morse. I was shown two sponges: one of which was my property. I did not see the scissors then to the beat of my belief, the scissors and sponge produced are my property. In cross-examination, Capt. Stokes stated that the prisoner said his business in the stable was to light his pipe. Stephen James, groom in the employ of Capt. Stokes, deposed that the scissors and sponge were his master's property. They were kept on a shelf by the window, and were there about five o'clock on the afternoon of June 2nd. He was away about half an hour in a mes- sage, and when be returned he missed both articles. The sponge was worth 3s and the scissors 4s 6d. The prisoner had no business in the stable. In answer to the prisoner, the witness said that some years ago he promised to give him a pipe. P. C. Codd deposed to finding the articles on the pri- soner. In answer to the charge, the prisoner said that he was ignorant of it.' The Bench committed him to take his trial at the Quarter Sessions bail was accepted for his appearance. STEALING WEARING APPAREL. Sarah Itecs, domestic servant, was charged with steal- ing a pair of stockings, a pair of drawers, and a bodice, the property of Mr W. L. Harding, of St. Martin's. Mrs Harding deposed that the prisoner entered her service on the 16th of December, and left it on the 26th of May. She missed several things, and found some with the prisoner, but forgave her. After she left, she missed other things, and amongst them the property produced, some of which were found on her person in her (witness's) presence by Mrs Codd at the Police Station. P. C. Harries deposed to apprehending the prisoner and to finding the pair of stockings at the prisoner's lodgings. In reply to a question from the Bench, Mrs Harding said that the value of the articles taken was about £1 Is. The prisoner pleaded guilty. The Bench ordered her to be imprisoned for six weeks with hard labour. DAMAGING FENCES, &0. Charles Hees and William Thomas were charged by William Pritchard, with damaging fences and grass, to the amount of 2d. The case was struck out.

TENBY. DISTRESSING SUICIDE AT TENBY. On Monday morning last Mr Bramble, well known on the road for many years as a mail-coach driver, com- mitted suicide by hanging himself in a stable at the rear of his premises. An inquest was held on Tuesday after- noon, at the Town Hall, before John James, Esq, coroner, and a respectable jury; the foreman being Capt William Rees. After the jury bad been sworn in, they adjourned to the dwelling house of Mr Bramble, Tenby House, to view the body. The countenance looked as placid as possible, not a single feature being in any degree repul- sive. The jury afterwards returned to the Town Hall, when the following evidence relative to this sad event was adduced. Amongst the gentlemen present at the enquiry were the Venerable Archdeacon Clarke, Captain Wells, Dr Chater, and Mr Hustler. Ann Rees sworn, and who was very much affected, said she was a domestic servant in the employ of Mr Bramble, at Tenby House. On Sunday night at half past eleven he left the kitchen and went upstairs to bed. As witness retired to rest shortly after, she passed by his bedroom door, when she saw him shut his door. She never saw him again alive. On the following morning, when she came down stairs, the back door was wide open. By the Jury: Yes, he had complained of a pain in his head on the previous day. Mrs Hester Thomas, sworn, said she resided in Mr Bramble's house. On the Sunday evening she saw him in the kitchen at half past ten o'clock; but did not notice anything strange in his manner or appearance. She shortly after went upstairs, and did not again see him alive. On the following morning the front door was fast and keyed, but the back door was wide open. She then went down the garden and got on some portable steps that had been placed against the garden waU, looked over into the stable yard, and enquired with the. man if he had seen Mr Bramble, as he had not gone out through the front door. The man replied that he had not seen him. She afterwards went into the stable and was horrified to see him hanging by a small line from one of the rafters. That was about half past seven o'clock. She immediately called the servant man, and also sent for Dr Chater. The body was at once cut down. She found the razor produced on the corner of the manger. David Hughes, on being sworn, said he was a servant in the employ of Mr Bramble. On Sunday evening Mr Bramble was in the stable seeing the old horse. There was nothing whatever unusual in his appearance. He asked witness to have a glass of beer, and they each had one. He was full of jokes, as he usually was, when they parted. Mr Bramble desired witness to call him at five o'clock on the following morning, as they were going to remove to a house in the Croft, which Mr Bramble bad recently purchased; but Mr Bramble said, if he should be up first, he would call witness. On the following morn- ing he saw him hanging in the stable, and held him while his (witness's) brother cut him down. John Hughes, brother to the preceding witness, deposed to cutting the body down; the feet were about four feet from the ground he had his slippers on he had no vest on but an old jacket, which he used to wear about the house. This was all the evidence adduced. The Jury retired for some time, and on returning brought in a verdict, 'That deceased had destroyed him- self during a fit of temporary insanity.'

TENBY. (From 4 The Homeopathic World.') The town is seated on the mountain limestone, and with a surface of perpetually varied outline is very dry. The tongue of land on which it lies is washed on the north and south by the sea, and, consequently, its atmosphere is thoroughly marine, as the prevailing currents arrive purified by passing over the Atlantic, Ocean. Population, 2967. Mortality, carefully calculated by Archdeacon Clark, is 15 in 1,000.* The mortality of PembrokeshiraiB as low or lower than any other county in the kingdom, every part of it being nearly surrounded by tho sea. Olimate.-Tenby, from being more exposed to the influence of the Gulf Stream, has a climate in mid- winter slightly warmer than Torquay; in summer, from its more northern and isolated position, its temperature may be somewhat lower. The difference between day and night temperature is somewhat less here-a point of great importanco to the invalid. There is an almost entire freedom from fog and autumnal decay. In the depths of winter it frequently enjoys a purity of sky and a power of sun known to very few English towns. The myrtle, fuchsia, and verbena flourish in the open air all tho year round. No case of cholera has, we believe, ever ocurred at Tcnbv. Bathing.—There are many great advantages for sea bathing. The remarkable purity and clearness of the water, its entire freedom from mud, and the firmness and gradual descent of the sands. Possibly from the influence of the Gulf Stream, the water remains com- paratively warm until about Christmas. • The country around affords excellent opportunities for the geologist, botanist, and antiquary; this, together with the facilities for making short marine excursions during the summer months, all tend to delight and amuse, and thus assist in the re-establishment of lost health. Eminent medical men recommend the climate as suitable for the residence of patients in the incipient stage of consumption, for those troubled with chronic cough, and for all that numerous train ef maladies commonly known as chest or pectoral disorders. The summer season embraces the months of June, July, August, and September. That of the autumn and winter, October, November, December, January, and February. Tenby is celebrated for its sea fishery, especially for the abundant supply of good turbot, soles, brills, john doreee, mullet, whiting, and ccd also oysters, lobsters crabs, and shrimps.

PEMBROKE The Owl says that Lady Muiicl Campbsll, daughter of Earl Cawdor, has been selected us one of the bridesmaids at the marriage of the Princess Helena. On Wednesday, the 6th inst, Lady Catherine Allen gave a graud Bill at the Hanover-square Rooms, London which was attended by about 400 of tho leading members of the aristocracy. FATAL ACCIDENT NEAn WILLIAMSON,—An inquest was held this day week at tho Cardigan lira, in the hamlet of Williamson, in the parish of Carew, before W. V. James, Esq, coroner, on tho body of a little bey nged ,X years, named John Phillips, who met his death on the previous day through the explosion of a cask of powder. Frorn tho evidence of the father, John Phillips, it appeared that tho tittle fellow visited him ia the after- uoo-4 at tho quarry, wherQ he was at weak, and that while he lay down a few yards from the cask the little boy amused himself by playing about on the spot. The cask was placed about four or five feet from the edge of the quarry, and on hearing the explosion he looked up and found the little boy on the ground. He was then alive, but died in about two hours after the occnrrence. He was unable to say whether the explosion occurred through a portion of a burning fuse having fatten on the cask, as they had been blasting a short time previous to the occurrence, or whether the lad had been playing with some lucifer matches, and thus set fire to it himself. The jury returned a verdict of Accidental Death.'

I fell asleep in the house. After I got from there I went to the White Lion, where my basket was, and there I missed my purse. On my way back to the York, to look if had I dropped it, I met William Davies, who told me I need not go there to look for it, as Thomas Fortune had my money, and that the purse was in the backyard of the York. The purse was afterwards brought to me from the yard. The purse produced is my property. William Davies deposed: I am a shoemaker's appren- tice. I live at East End.

I followed him and saw him take from the purse four sixpences, two shillings, one halfcrown, and one penny, and then threw the purse away. He put the money in his vest pocket. We then returned to the York kitchen, and soon left the house. I met com- plainant soon afterwards on his way to see for his money. I asked him had he lost anything.

PEMBROKE-DOCK. NEW CONGREGATIONAL CHAPEL,—A drawing, after the style of the Art Union, will shortly take place on behalf of the New Congregational Chapel, Albion Square. PEMBROKE DOCK MARKET.-On Friday last there was a quantity of veal exposed for sale, which was certainly unfit for human food, and yet no one seems to have any authority to interfere in the matter, as the market is under the jurisdiction of the Admiralty. It is highly desirable that some one should be deputed to investigate such matters. DOCKYARD YOTERS.—A Parliamentary return just pub- lished shows the number of persons in the employment of Government in the dockyards of England and Wales who claimed the privilege of voting at the last election, and who will be disqualified by clause 16 of the 'Repre- sentation of the People Bill.' In Chatham, where the total number of registered electors is 1,876, there will be 780 disfranchised; in Devonport, with 2,826 voters, the disfranchised will number 601; in Greenwich there are altogether 9,371 electors, and 1,495 of them would be dis- franchised; Portsmouth would lose 484 out of 4 583 voters; and Pembroke 295 out of 1,510. In the 'five boroughs named there are altogether 20,166 registered electors, and 3,655 of them would be disqualified if clause 16 is carried.

THEOBROMA CACAO. South America is tho home of this tree. DaCP g; the voyager, who visited the Caraccas in 1682, —' The coast is a oontinual tract of high ridges of and valleys, which alternately run pointing upon shores from North to South. The valleys are froB> to five furlongs wide, and in length from the sea i to five furlongs wide, and in length from the sea tbr or four miles. Cocoa-nuts, of which chocolate t eocoa are made, are the main product.' < A Cocoa plantation—or walk, aa it is called—1^ contain some thousand trees, besides which, grouped about it the stately coral tree, as a Pr0'e^i!«/ for the young trees from the too scorching heat. are not unlike the cherry in form, and seldom twenty feet in height. The nuts are enclosed iQ as big as a man's fiats put together, and will duBJM' almost a hundred in each. The crops are in DeceO^ and June, and a well-bearing tree will produce a{ or thirty pods, which are gathered during a peri° three weeks or so, as they turn yellow. Aa a process, they are then allowed to lie in heaps, dfff afterwards spread out in the sun on mats, and when A each nut, (about the size of a kidney bean) has » thin skin of its own. When required for use, the? roasted, and the husks removed. Many millions of pounds of Cocoa are now consumed iu this country, while prior to the reduc; of the duty in 1832, the quantity was not half a But although this progress has been made, an a<lv0 „' influence has continually been tending to check its e 0 sumption in the attempt of some manufacturers to the public desire for a cheap article, and the market that only which is inferior and adulterate However, shortly after the reduction of tbe °j\(0 the doctrine of Homoeopathy was introduced this country, and greatly stimulated the use ot Being almost the only beverage recommended to under the homoeopathic mode of treatment, it very essential that a preparation of a quality attractive and pure should be made obtainable for use. yfl James Epps, the homoeopathic chemist first estab*1 ^0 in this country, was induced to turn his attention • subject, and with the assistance of elaborate macb111^4 succeeded at length in perfecting tbe preparatIOn f tbíd I bearing his name.
