MILFORD HAVEN. Opinion of American Captains trading to Liverpool with vessels of 1,000 tons and upwards, on the advantage of their being able to use the port of Milford instead of Liverpool 1. What would be the average saving of time on the voyage from port to port ? At least six six days in each passage is the very lowest rate-more frequently sixteen, during nine months in the year. 2. What would be the time saved in docking of vessels could they dock through neap tides at Milford ? Shipa are detained in Liverpool a week at least, on the average, in each passage. 3. How many moreltrips or voyages could a vessel make ? The lowest estimate, in our opinion, is one trip more per annum; that is one passage each way, or one voyage. 4. What would be the saving in steam tugs ? The saving, as far as our experience allows us to judge, is not less, on the average, than £ 50 per voyage in steam tugs, and their expences. 6. What would be the saving in'value of provisions of such a vessel ? The provisions of a ship of 1,000 tons and upwards will, at the lowest calculation, be £85 per month, and our savings will be in proportion to the dif- ference of time between the ports as calculated. I. 7. What would be the saving in light dues, &c. ? Not having a scale, please refer to the light board, and see the number of lights between the two places'that we would have to use. 8. Describe the risk of weather, currents, and collision which would be avoided. The risks from weather, cur- rents, and collision are so very great that it is impossible for us to say what would be the actual amount. In our opinion, it is at least 40 per cent. more than going to Milford Haven. 9. What effect would avoiding such risk have upon insurance of ships and cargoes ? In our opinion, all regular packets, steamers, and traders would be insured at least for 1 per cent. less on ship and cargo for Milford Haven. 10. On the average, how often do vessels of this size go north about to and from Liverpool ? With American ships and regular traders, from our own personal expe- rience, we should say, on an average, not more than one- tenth, and those only from necessity, having been drawn to leeward byjgales that prevail at least nine months of the year. 11. Does going north about get rid of these differences ? We say no; as it is most dangerous and difficult with such heavy ships; and such crews as we now get only increase the risk. 12. Would these advantages of Milford increase as the vessels increase in tonnage ? We say most decidedly yes and in our opinion,in a few years it must be the grand depot for all steamers and large sailing ships that frequent this part of Great Britain. We are also of the opinion that it would be a saving of not less than 10 per cent. on the average wear and tear of a ship for a year. The anxiety of a master of a large ship, after he leaves the meridian of Milford Haven to his arrival in this port (Liverpool) can only be appreciated by those who, like us' have ex. perienced it for/,years. Secondly, the dangers and an- xiety on the return to the meridian alluded to, during nine months in the year, with large ships, are so great and so well known to all seafaring men engaged in this trad6, that it is useless for us to make further comment on the subject. Signed by 25 masters of American vessels.—Herapatlb s Journal.

FISHGUARD. THE GWAUN LODGE OF ODD FELLows-On Wednes- dast the Anniversary of the Loyal G waun Lodge of Odd Fellows' took place at the Swan Inn in the above town. The members met at the Lodge Room at nine o'clock, when six new members were installed in the Order; after- wards the whole body formed into a procession headed by the Trecwn Brass Band which played some lively airs. After parading a few of the streets, the brethren pro- ceeded to the Tabernacle Chapel, where an excellent discourse was delivered by the Rev Wm. Davies, and ultimately the procession re-formed and wended their way to Lower Fishguard, and paraded the different streets and then returned to dinner. The Rev J. Pugh presided, and Mr Wm. Vaughan acted as Vice. About 80 sat down to a most sumptuous repast provided by Mr and Mrs. Davies. After the cloth was removed, the usual loyal toasts were drank, and several other toasts were proposed and responded to in the course of the evening. The com- pany broke up at an early hour highly delighted with the proceedings of the day. TREcwN COURSING MATCH.—This coursing match came off on Friday the 14th inst.. From the appearance and running of the dozen dogs engaged it was evident that no trouble had been spared in obtaining proper con- dition. Mr. George Evans, Veterinary Surgeon of Car- marthen, did the dutiea of Judge, and Mr. Williams acted as Slipper. The dogs ran as follows :—First Ties, —Mr. Morgan's Topsy beat Mr. Lloyd's Killer, Mr. Jenkin's Spring beat Mr. Leacroft's Locomotive, Mr. Evans' Linda beat Mf. Vaughan's Spring, Mr. Jenkin's Lizzie beat Mr. Hassell's Juno, Mr. Skone's Bess beat Mr. Howels's Manog, Mr. Harries's Rigger beat Mr. Gwyther's Spray.

The weather being quite summer-like and hares very plenti- ful, no one had reason to complain of too much walking) damp feet, &e. In the evening a good dinner was pro- vided at the Inn near Trecwn, and the guests enjoyed a pleasant evening. The Trecwn band was not the least contribution to the harmony on the occasion. Mr. and Mr. Barham's health was drunk with vociferous cheering, all regretting that the good lady's appearance on the ground at the final deciding course had not been greeted with three times three. A few names were added to the members of our club, and an unanimous desire expressed to test the merits of the Carmarthenshire and Pembroke* shire dogs. We will meet them for the best five out of nine on three out of five days at Trecwn on the 2nd of February next, and in the absence of that match a match will take, place on that day for not less than £ 5 on the first day, and Y,2 on the second day, open to members, who must be subscribers of £ 1 each. These matters of husiness being settled, the health of the judge, Mr. Evans, was received with unanimous good feeling. Other toasts followed and many good songs until about nine o'clock, when the company broke up highly delighted with an excellent and satisfactory day's sport.-Com- mUnicated.
