PEMBROKE THE LANCASHIRE HELJEF FUND.-The exertions made in this town to procure a sum towards the relief of those who are suflering privation and want in the manufacturing districts have been attended with much success. It is now arranged that a vocal and instrumental amateur concert be held in the Town hall, the proceeds to bs applied to the same object. Several gentlemen have volunteered their services for the occasion.

PEMBROKE-DOCK, PENNAR SABBATH SCHOOL. AN NIVERSARY. — The above services were held at the school-room, on Sunday the 2nd inst. The place was literally crowded by an overflowing audience, who were highly gratified at the pleasing and interesting manner in which the chil- dren recited their pieces. The examination was conducted by Mr D. Jones, New Road, and the Rev. T. D. Matthias. Great praise is due to the former gentleman for his un- tiring zeal and industry in connection with the school and congregation at Pennar. A liberal collection was made at the close of the service towards the Lancashire distress. The proficiency of the children was most satis- factory.

AMATEUR CONCERT. The Amateur Concert which was given on the 17th nit., to assist towards the Building Fund of the Mechanics' Institute at Pembroke-dock, having been much admired, was through the kindness of the ladies and gentlemen amateurs, repeated to an overflowing audience on Friday evening last, to assist towards the placing of a stained glass window in St. John's parish church. There was upon this occasion an entire new selection of music, and an addition to the number of vocal performers. We remarked upon the other con- cert, that where all the music, songs, duc.ts, glees, &c, were so efficiently executed it would be invidious to make any distinction, especially as the performers were not professional, but we cannot refrain from giving our tribute of applause which can only be a very faint echo of that bestowed by the audience upon Miss Gould and Miss Harridgc, whose songs, dactts, &c, could not be excelled. We especially would notice the song of the former lady entitled Viva la Patria,' which was a per- fect performance; and then, the duett of I Parige O'Cary,' with Miss Harridge, in which the voices of those ladies blended in sweet and truly melodious har- mony. The exquisite taste and power of voice exhibited by Miss Gould in the songs of A te o' cara,' and When sorrow sleepeth wake it not,' elicited thunders of ap- plause. We also do much approve of the excellent taste and discrimination of the audience in consequence of the great applause which they bestowed upon Miss Harridge, wuo sang with the most exquisite taste and feeling that beautiful melody of Moore's, I The harp that once thro' Tara s halls,' and the duett in which she was accom- panied on the flute by Capt. Yonge (whom we tbink can scarcely have a rival 1n England in his finished perform- ance on that instrument). The voice and flute accom- paniment was beyond all praise: the higher notes of ui S8J ^arriclge. were so distinct and mellifluous, and blended so entirely in unison with the tones of the flute as frequently to render it doubtful 'which was which.' Capt. Boissier, dressed in character as a 'wandering minstrel, was admirable, and the song of Vilikins and his Dinah was more comically sung than we ever heard it betore. The comic song of the Gorilla,' sung in character by Mr Gorham, was both novel and exceed- ingly clever, and was received with roars of laughter. Mr Gilpin was very appropriately made up as a 'Kerry Recruit.' His great bashfulness and timidity on appear- ing for the first time before the public seemed to lessen the powers of his otherwise excellent and flexible voice, par- ticularly in the enunciation of the words of the song. Mr Brownrigg, to whose kind assistance in getting up both concerts too much praise cannot be bestowed, and whose excellence and taste in singing Moore's Melodies' has in private society been much appreciated, sang two Irish melodies, and when in obedience to an encore he volunteered that inimitable description of a 4 Rale ould Irish gintleman,' the whole audience was convulsed with laughter. We should scarcely have known that Dr Barrett, whose sweetness of voice was so pleasing, yet was suffering from the effect of a recent cold. In fact, we must add, it is seldom the good fortune of a town to be favoured with such an 'Amateur Concert,' or be pri- vileged to hear such talent and power as displayed by those young ladies-the Misses Harridge and Gould; and we much regret that another young lady, Miss Robertson, who piayed nearly all the pianoforte accom- paniments at the first concert, was, through severe indis- position, absent upon this occasion, as hex performance, as regarded time, taste, and brilliancy of execution could but seldom be excelled. r

A GAME NET.-A Perthshire baronet saw what be supposed to be a deadly game net hanging behind thr door of a farm-house.

DARING OUTRAGE-NARROW ESOAPK OF SBR.TF.ANT HOWLKY. 1 he Clnnmel Chronicle states that on Friday bist,-at, the I ipperary Quarter Sessions, when Serjeant Howley had senten ed a young man named Carey to three months imprisonment and hard Itlbour, the prisoner suddenly drew back in the docl-, and drawing his arm round, in order to have the greater power, flung a stone of nearly a pound weight at the learned serjeant. Mr Howley had been seated on a lisrht chair with ca^t^rs and perceiving the movement of the criminal moved a little hack, and threw himself off the chair, but for which the attempt would have been attended with the most serious consequences. So rapidly did the whole thin? take place that the stone passed across the spot the chair- man had left, and struck the pannelling hehind his c hair. The violence of the blow smashed the stone, and a small portion of it remained imbedded firmly in the wood- work. A consultation of magistrates took place, and it was decided that informations of this ontratreoua attempt should be returned against the prisoner to the next assiz-s, the quarter sessions grand jury having been then dis- charged. The occurrence of this dreadful outrage created a deep sensation, happening, as it did, in the presence of twelve magistrates, over thirty of the constabulary, and a densely crowded court. The prisoner alone appeared indifferent at the terrible nature of the offence he had committed. ALLEGED INHUMANITY TO AN AFFRENTICE. — John Robins, master of the G iunt'ett, fishing smack, of Bark ing, was charged at the Ilford Police-court, on Saturday, with shockingly ill-treating an apprentice, named Joseph Rodwell. who had since died. A coroner's inquest had been held, and although the immediate cause of death was proved to be disease of the lungs, the evidence which transpired was of that character that a gentleman named Mitchell, who took an interest in the case, obtained a warrant against the accused. The deceased was ap- prenticed from Hampstead Workhouse. It was proved by other apprentices on board the Gauntlet, that the prisoner was in the habit of heating the poor hoy most unmercifully with ropes as thick as their three fingers. lashing him to the windlass whilst he did it, afterwards tarring his back, and on one occasion, after being flogged, his back was covered with bright varnish. He Was fre- quently kept without food for twenty-fonr hours, and became so weak that he would fall about the deck, and was flogged for that. They deposed that lie was even flogged and kept for twenty-four hours without food. when he was absolutely dying on their last voyage from Grimsby to Barking. The medical man who made the post-mortem examination said, although the immediate cause of death was disease of the lungs he found the body covercd with bruises and sores, an abrasion on one of the knees, and the body was shockingly emaciated, there being no food in the stomach. The defence set up was that the deceased was dirty in his habits. The :rates having resolved to send the ca.3e for trial it was stated that an important witness was not examined, and iltimately the prisoner was remanded, bail being accepted, limself in £100 and two sureties of X50 each. THE INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION.—Tbe Interna- tional Exhibition closed on Saturday. The numbers were large for a half-crown day, being upwards of 36,000. Of course they bore no proportion to the num- bers on the last day of the Exhibition of 1851; and it was, perhaps, unfortunate that the last day should have been thrown upon one of the higb-priced days, when only the fashionable visitors are expected to attend. i Altogether the numbers throughout the year were 6,110,000; which, considering that it was open for a fortnight longer than in 1851, presents the compara- tively trifling addition of 77,000 visitors only over the earlier Exhibition. But, on the other band. the present has had obstacles to contend with of which the earlier one knew nothing, and which would have crushed any institution with less vitality in it. In the earlier part of the day there was little to indicate the close of the show. Exactly as the clock struck four in the afternoon all the organs in the building poured forth the well- 1_ -1 L l! L L ÎIIo.T 11. Known notes or me xiauonai Anthem. in the western portion the orgaKa were accompanied by about 400 vocal performers of the Sacred Harmonic Society, and the ehoruses here were also joined in by the great body of those present. The performance was encored and after that the more cosmopolitan members or the audience called for Parfant pour la Syrie,' which was given with hearty good will; though as soon as it was over national feeling resumed its away, and there was a general call for Rule Britannia.' The police began to clear the building, and there secme.d a general desire on the part of each visitor to be the very last in the building, and they moved out slowly; but soon after six o'clock the h?.ll was wholly cleared and the Exhibition, as an Exhi- bition, was at an end. WHITWORTH AND ARMSTRONG GuNs.—Some very interesting trials of 12-pounder field guns rifled according '«? tlie different systems of Sir William Armstrong and » VTWORTL1' were made at Fort Twiss, near Shorn- clitfe, last week, before General Bloomfield, inspector general of artillery and a large staff of officers. The Whitworth guns were four in number, and formed part of a battery of 12-pounder brass muzzle-loading guns, being the first guns rifled on this system which have been furnished for the service. The Armstrong guns were two of the ordinary 12-pounder field guns, such as were used in China, with certain improvements since adopted, and of course breech-loaders, made of iron on the plan employed in the construction of all the Arm- the plan employed in the construction of all the Arm- strong guns. This was the first occasion on which so ,direct a comparison has been made between these rival systems in regard to field guns, and the result was re- t-n one cons'derable importance by the officers ot artillery and other scientific artillerists present at the experiment. The trials began by firing at a floating target distant 500 yards. As the shot fell in the sea no very close comparisons could be made as to the accuracy of the respective hits, but both at the 500 yards range and afterwards at the 1200 yards, the shot from the Whitworth was the first to carry away the flag aimed at, and it was generally conceded that at both ranges this gun fired closer to the mark than the Armstrong. Both guns were then tried with shell, the Armstrong firing the compound percusbion shells, the Whitworth firing the "f n i s'iraPnel perfected under thesuperintendence of Colonel Boxer, who has been permitted to give all the assistance his great knowledge and experience afforded in advising Mr Whitworth as to the construction of this new projectile, which is now promising so far to surpass all shells hitherto invented, whether for the field or for piercing the sides of the armour-plated ships. It was observed that a considerable number of the Armstrong shells burst in the air before reaching the mark, and of course without effect; but the Whitworth shell, being used with a time fuse, which is ignited in front like the old shell by means of the ordinary Boxer lime-fuse, was found to be more regular and effective in its action. Perhaps the most interesting part of the experiments was a comparison made between the two different kinds of ordnance as to rapidity of fire. It has always been held that the one great advantage of the breech-loader was its superiority in handiness and quick firing. The result of this trial does not, however, confirm this opinion. The artillerymen were ordered to fire twenty rounds from each gun as rapidly as they could be served. The Whitworth gun finished the twenty rounds first, completing the task in thirteen minutes; the Armstrong followed two minutes and a half later. This superiority was attributed to the simplicity of the loading and serving the Whitworth gun, tbe drill being, in fact, precisely the same as in working one of the old smooth-bore guns, whereas the Armstrong drill requires three or four extra movements. All the guns were further tried by firing from each 100 consecutive rounds. The Armstrongs were fired with lubricating wads, and were also washed out and had their breech pieces changed as often as they became heated so as to be unsafe. The Whitworths all completed their 100 rounds without being washed out at all, and without using any lubricating wads. It was remarked, too, that the loading was as easy at t4q Jftpt round as at the first.- Expreu,

Don't for a moment believe that I have for- saken it-y colours, or that I have changed my opinions. The learned editor of the Telegraph in his paper, talked of heart. burnings simply because I was put forward as a candidate. He talked of heart burning", and why? Because I offended against the party by refusing to come forward as a political partizan. I did refuse, and would do so again, but I would not that you should think that I forsake my colours or my principles. 1 am one of that class of politicians who are in advance of my own party-I belong to those who look forward to a milienium upon tho earth, when the sword shall be beaten into the plough- share, and the spear into the pruning hook, and when nothing shall be destroyed in God's holy land. What politics have to do with the Haverfordwest Town Council I cannot understand, and though I cannot forsake my political or teetotal principles, I will never consent to become the tool of a party. Tn those 237 gentlemen who voted for me, 1 return my heartfelt thanks, and though the wishes of my friends have not been gratified on this occasion, I look forward to the time when my humble services may no deemed worthy of the acceptance of the Sectors of this Borough:— The day will yet appear. When the right and the might of the truth shall be; And come what there may to stand in the way, fhat day my friends shall see.' [Mr Lewis retired amid enthusiastic plaudits.] Mr Thomas Whicher Davies, who was loudly called for, next addressed the meeting, after which the audience quietly dispersed, the drunken members of it havir.o- taken their departure sortie time previously to renew in all probability their demands upon the candidates whose liberal distribution of noxious beverages had induced so much depravity and wickedness.
