TO CORRESPONDENTS. HAVERFORDWEST WESLEYAN CHAPEL ORGAN FUND.— A correspondent, signing liimself "One Intere-ted in the Organ Fund," complains that no statement of the amount of money collected and expended in respect of the Organ Fund has been published. He states that it is nearly two years since the Organ was erected, and suggests that, in justice to the Sub- scribers to the Fund and an who interested them- selves in its behalf, a statement of receipts and expenditure should be published.

THE VERDICT OF THE ELECTORS.
THE VERDICT OF THE ELECTORS. OUR Contemporary is naturally jubilant over the result of the Municipal Election. So great was the terror of the Clique at the threatened intrusion of Mr Davies into their snuggery that, now the danger is for the time averted, there are no bounds to their exultation at his defeat, as expressed in the choicest slang of their organ. We are not disposed to quarrel with them for this. The magnitude of the peril could not be overrated. Visions of future unrest rose up before them. The dicta of their rulers were no longer to pass unquestioned. A fellow who would dare to speak his mind in the face of Sir Oracle," and who would be insensible alike to the frowns and blandishments of the party," was seeking to gain admission to their Counsels. Threatened with such a disturber of their peace, they were of course panic- stricken with fright, and are now proportionately re- joiced at their municipal deliverance. So far we are quite willing that they should indulge their humour. We regret, however, to say that notwithstanding their miraculous escape, their position is still a most painful one. It is to the intemperate and blundering zeal of their Advocate that they are indebted for this. It was he and not Mr Davies who arraigned them as criminals before the bar of public opinion. It is he who said that the verdict of the Municipal Electors would decide whether they were to be considered guilty of fraud and dishonesty, or their accuser to be stigmatized as a ma- licious slanderer. And now let us see in what an un- comfortable dilemma this sagacious writer has placed his friends. As he seems so well pleased with his illustration of a Court Jury, &c., we will just take him at his word. When a Culprit is arraigned before a jury of his Country- men, his condemnation or acquittal must depend on the unanimous opinion of the jury,-at any, rate it is so in England. Well, the Council have been on their trial, as our Contemporary will have it, on a grave charge of fraud and dishonesty. The Municipal Electors were the jurors; the number of the jury-the actual number that voted-was 731 of these, no fewer than 387 recorded their votes for Mr Davies-180 being plumpers. Now, if every one who voted for Mr Davies thereby signified his condemnation of the Town Council—according to the issue raised by our Contemporary -however he may have from personal or other motives associated other Candi- dates with Mr Davies in his vote, the result arrived at is a very curious one-and it is this: Are the Council guilty or not guilty ? Guilty 387, Not guilty 344— 731. This is the magnificent triumph (?) achieved for the Town Council by the recent Election. They are ac- tually condemned by a majority of 43 votes, and the slanderous indictment, which in the mere wantonness of malice Mr Thomas Whicher Davies preferred against them, the verdict of the Electors has unmistakably en- dorsed. We trust the Council are satisfied with their apologist. Stated broadly in plain, simple English, direated of all glosa and surplusage, the question was: Have sixteen gentlemen of Haverfordwest, most respecta- ble, and hitherto most respected, fraudulently misappro- priated the money of the public, or is their accuser, Mr Thomas Whicher Davies, a defamer and a slan- dorer?" In as broad, plain, and simple English it may be said 387 of the Independent Electors have declared that tiny are guilty of the charges brought against them, and 344 that they are not, or in other words (for we will give our friend all the benefit of his "issue") 344 believe Mr Davies to bf a slanderer and defamer, whilst 387 believe nothing of the kind. We exceedingly regret that in his zeal to malign Mr Davies, our Con- temporary has placed the Town Council in so painful a position. In spite of anything said to the contrary he persisted in his misinterpretation of Mr Davies's lan- guage, and unable or unwilling (believing it would suit his purpose better) to see the distinction between fraudu- lent and injudicious or careless misappropriation, he has succeeded in fastening on the Town Council, by the verdict of a Municipal jury, a most grave and serious crime. Had not the artisle of Wednesday been a re- iteration of that of the previous week, at which time we may believe the hospitalities incident to such occasions had not commenced, we should have been inclined to attribute our Contemporary's blundering logic to those little weaknesses from which the wisest of us are not always exempt; and indeed we might, had we chosen, have obtained additional evidence of this from the in- tensely coloured description which he gives of the proceedings of the Election, in which he tells us, amongst other jocular remarks, that Mr Davies might have liai 1 to Mr Harford, with Sir Jeffrey Aguecheek in the RIVALS, an I bad known he was so cunning of fence, I would have seen him —— ere I had fought with him. Now, as we can hardly think it possible that our Contemporary has never read Shakespeare's Twelfth Night, wherein the passage, not quite correctly quoted, really occurs, we might have had fair grounds for believing that the triumph of the party had been too much for his discretion. But probably the real solu- tion of the matter is, that finding himself utterly unable to reply to the allegations which we preferred against the Council last week, he was compelled to have recourse to that species of clap-trap rant so well suited to the men- tal calibre of his readers and, no doubt, having taken a pretty correct measure of the intellect for which he caters, and having no fear of being detected in any slip he may make, he sometimes falls into a "slip-shod" habit (a term he applies to our article) of statement and quota- tion. We have no desire to follow our Contemporary through his oft repeated assertions and wild declamation. Amidst a cloud of windy verbiage, there is not one single word of reply to our last week's article. We showed most clearly that public money bad been applied by the Town Council to other than legitimate purposes- that is, that the proceeds of the sale of the old Council Chamber should, according to arrangement with the Lords of the Treasury, have been applied towards the building of a New Chamberand that the greater part of the money had been expended on other objects. We showed that the vaunted balance of X60 was a fallacious one, arising not from revenue but capital. In reference to this said balance we find, on looking over the pnb- lished account, that the payment of Mr Wm. Owen's interest only comes down to the 29th of September, 1862: the half-year's interest, therefore, due in March, 1863, is still unpaid,—in fact, there is at present a whole year's interest due;—but as the account is only made up to the first of September, we will only deduct the half- year's interest due in March, which will make a sad hole in the reputed balance. Now, in making these state- ments, we do not for one moment impute the shadow of fraud to any gentleman, or party of gentlemen, in the Town Council: we simply repeat that there has been misappropriation. Let our Contemporary meet us fairly and honestly on this question, instead of rushing off upon the wings of rhodomontade. If we are wrong, surely there can be no difficulty in showing that we are. There are proper authorities to refer to. We are willing to abide by their decision. Let us have no more of "slanderous accusations of honourable genllemen," 41 shameful, malicious, wanton, attacks on our respecta- ble fellow townsman." Our Town Council are a public body, intrusted with important responsibilities, and are amenable to fair rebuke and censure if they are believed to have acted improperly. No further than this have we gone, and no further than this did Mr Davies go. The Election that has taken place, therefore, does not affect their character in the slightest degree one way or the other. We doubt not they are honourable men, and we also believe that the gentlemen who won the Election on Monday are honourable men, and will discharge theii duties to the best of their ability; but we ever have, and ever will, set our faces against a system of Cliquism or dominant party in the Council, which is not always consistent with the free and independent exercise of indi- vidual opinion. And it was with a firm conviction that Mr Davies, bad he been elected, would have done his best to break up any such system, that we advocated his claims on the suffrages of the Electors. We are not overwhelmed by the result. That he should have suc- ceeded in polling 387 votes-only 20 in the rear of Mr Harford-in the face of such a combination of opposing elements, is far more than could have been expected. Our Contemporary says that 180 of them—the plumpers -were bribed to vote for Mr Davies. We trust the said independent Electors will not forget this slanderous charge at the next Election, or the source from whence it sprang. The indictment reads well at the close of our Contemporary's violent attack on Mr Davies, for bringing, what he calls, malicious accusations against the Council. The Council are an august body and the very breath of suspicion must not be directed against them. Mr Davies's 180 plumpers are principally poor men, and may be calumniated with impunity — by a Liberal Editor.
LOOAL INTELLIGENCE.
LOOAL INTELLIGENCE. MILLWALL COMPANY'S YARu.-The fine merchant ship called the Millwall, launched from the above yard on Tuesday, the 27th ult., is commanded by Mr R. Ford Scales, of Harroldatone. The vessel will sail for Sydney in December. UNIVERSITY FOR WALES.—It is stated that William Williams, Esq., M.P. for Lambeth, has offered, through the Rev. Dr. Nicholas, the munificent donation of one thousand pounds towards obtaining an adequate func1. for establishing High Schools and a University for the Prin- cipality of Wales. A committee is speedily to be con- vened in London to deliberate on initiatory measures. EGLWYSFAIR, GLANTAF, NEAR WHITLAND. — A thanskgiving service for the abundant harvest was held in the above church on Tuesday week; The service com- menced at Ten o'clock in the forenoon: prayers were impressively read by the incumbent; the Rev. S. Jones, and a sermon preached in English by the Rev. R. Lewis, rector of Lampeter Velfrey, after which the Venerable Archdeacon Evans preached in Welsh, The sermons throughout were eloquent, and very suitable to the occasion, and were listened to with profound attention by a large congregation. At the close of the service, a< collection was made in aid of the ftirtd for the Propa- gation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts. FAIR,-The annual fair was held yesterday, and was but thinly attended. The attendance was much smaller than has been tor some time past. There was little demand for beasts of any description, and few sales were effected. The pig fair will be ht Id to-day. TEMPERANCE LECTURE.—We understand that the Rev. Richard Davies, of Maesteg, formerly of the Baptist College in this town, will deliver a Temperance Lecture on Monday evening next at the Market Hall, when the Rev. James Thomas, M.A., Head Master of the Grammar School, will preside. BREACH OF THE PEACE.-At th3 Police Office on Tuesday, Daniel Owen and Mary, his wife, was charged with threatening to shoot Sarah Edwards, the wife of a seaman, residing at Shipman's Lane. The defendants were bound over to keep the peace—Daniel Owen in £10, and two sureties in £10 each. The sureties were provided. and the defendants were liberated. SURETIES OF THE PEACE.—On Tuesday at the Polica Office before the Mayor, Elizabeth Thomas and Margaret Lewi*, two nymphs of the pave, were charged with threatening a breach of the peace towards Maria Morgan, It was proved in evidence that the prisoner threatened to throw the complainant over the Bridge because she had given evidence in a case it) which a sister of one of the prisoners was charged with pocket picking. The prisoners were ordered to find sureties to be of good behaviour for six months,—themselves in XiO each, and two sureties each in 95, but in default of bail were com- mitted to priioii for one month. THE LORD CHANCELLOR'S NEW CHURCH ACT.—The Lord Chancellor has now more than bOO church livings for sale, under the new Act, to increase the incomes of the benefices. It appears that they are situate in 24 dioceses, of which eleven are in the diocese of Canterbury, 4 London, 25 York, 24 Exeter, 27 Lincoln, 22 Worcester, 13 Chichester, 10 Gloucester, 15 Oxford, 22 Norwich, 11 Sarum, 13 Hereford, 12 Rochester, 4 Carlisle, 11 Lichfield 15 Ely, 13 Winchester, 17 St David's, 9 Bath and Wells, 2 Manchester, 19 Peterborough, 9 Ripon, 1 Llandaff, and 3 Durham. NAVAL APPOINTMENTS AND PROMOTIONS, Nov. 6.— Appointments Lieutenant—Henry T. Marsden, to the Hawke. Naval Cadet (nominated)—John F. Hayes. Promotions—Promoted to be First-class Assistant En- gineeers-John Slater, of the Curacoa Geo. T. Laidlaw, of the Himalaya; James Butchart, of the Cumberland; Francis T. Russell, of the Indus; John Pickles, of the Asia; Thos. M. Thompson, of the Blenheim, for the Charon John Adams, of the Asia; Geo. A. Moses, of the Geyser; and J. M'Garahan, of the Dee. To be Acting First-class Assistant Engineers—James Bell (b), of the Challenger Sofer T. Sugden, of the Wanderer and Lewis P. Lewis, of the Hecate. POCKET PICKING.—At the Shire Hall on Saturday, Sarah Lewis, a prostitute, was brought up in custody ot the police before the Mayor, H. P. Goode, Esq., and Mr ilarlord, charged with stealing a sovereign and seven shillings from the person of Isaac Merryman, at the New Bridge, at 10 o'clock on the previous night. From the evidence it appeared that the prosecutor met the prisoner on the New Bridge, and went with her to Scotchwells. On their return the prisoner put her hand in the waistcoat pocket of the prosecutor, and immediately afterwards he missed his money. He seized her, and endeavoured to search her, and when so engaged another prostitute, named Maria Morgan, came up, Morgan gave an alarm that the prisoner's mother and a lot of boys were coming, and the prosecutor let the prisoner go. About half an hour afterwards the prisoner attended at the Police Station and asked to be searched. She was then taken into custody. Morgan deposed that she saw a sovereign and a liorin in her hand, and she (prisoner) told her she had taken it from Merryman. The prisoner was com- mitted for trial at the next Quarter Sessions. PEMBROKESHIRE BANK.—The increasing business at this Bank has rendered it necessary to make some im portant alterations in its management, which we have no doubt will prove of great advantage to the public. A Branch Bank has been established by Mr Walters at Narherth, and will be conducted by Mr W. Walters Williams, whose valuable services have hitherto been re- tained for the management of the Bank in this town. We regret the removal of Mr Williams to Narberth, for while the Bank here will be deprived of an able and courteous gentleman, the Haverfordwest Rifle Corps will also, in a great measure, lose the services of a not less able and popu- lar officer. As a consequence of M r Williams's appoint- ment to the management of the Narberth Bank (which will be opened daily after the 1st of January), Mr John Lewis will succeed him as manager at Haverfordwest. Mr Lewis is well known to the public and universally respected, and we are sure our readers will receive the intelligence of his advancement—a reward for long ser- vice, and a strong proof of the confidence felt in him by his employer,—with feelings of the liveliest satisfaction. If we may be permitted to express an opinion on the private arrangements of the proprietor of the Haverford- west Bank, we would assert, without fear of contradiction, that an appointment more in accordance with public feeling could not have been made. HARBOURS AND DOCKS IN SOUTH WALES.—Enprgetic efforts are being made at present to increase the harbour and dock accommodation at the different ports of South Wales, and more especially at Llanelly, Swansea, and Milford Haven. The trade of Swansea has shown such remarkable activity and increase within the last few years that it has been found desirable to take measures with the view of deepening the entrance channel, the extension of,> the western pier, the alteration of the east pier, and the erection of the requisite lights. Mr Aber- nethy, the Harbour Trust Engmeer, estimates the cost at £30,000, and if a satisfactory arrangement can be made with the Duke of Beaufort, the owner of the shore and land, the works will be proceeded with under an order from the Board of Trade, otherwise it will be necessary to apply for an Act of Parliament. The Harbour Trust of Llanelly have also seen the importance of increasing the flouting accommodation at that rapidly rising port, in order to meet the wants of the daily increasing trade. The Trust have opened negotiations with the directors of the Llanelly Railway and Dock Company, and the latter have agreed to carry out the desired extensions and improve- ments, provided the Trust will give certain guarantees in return. These they have consented to give, and therefore there is every probability of the matter being brought to a successful issue. An Act was obtained last session for the construction of Docks at Milford Haven, and it is rumoured that the London and North Western Company are not unwilling to lend their powerful aid to the project. Times. Fox HUNTING.—We hear not unfrequently of the dangers of fox-hunting. There is but little pleasure in this world without risk or responsibility. Amusements are not enhanced by the prospect 01 breaking your neck lint it is certainly not lessened by the possibility of doing so. This has notwithstanding been sufficiently guarded against by experience, skill in horsemanship, common prudence, and judgment, and liberality in the matter of a stud. How very, very seldom does a really serious accident occur I We don't believe in the cherub aloft over the fox-hunter; but we feel great confidence in tbe com- mon sense of mankind. The notion, however, that pleasure is enhanced by danger has taken so extraordinary a hold of the farmers, and the ordinnry risks of the field I seem to offer so small a per pentage on the outlay, that they have hit upon an expedient for rendering the fact more palpable than hitherto. That expedient is no other than 'wire fencing.' If it were possible to conceive one more deadly enemy to the sports of the field, in which horse-flesh is concerned, than another, it would be found in an invention against which neither horsemanship, eye- sight, prudence, or courage can be of avail—such is wire -fencijig., Put up your blackthorn, dig deep your ditches, strengthen your posts and rails, let hog-backed atifes abound; broad be the brook, and even rotten the banks which nature loves to fashion: all these and much more way be surmounted by a well-mounted man with heart and hands in the right place. But who shall be proof against the deadly fall that lurks in 'wire-fencing?' — Bayley's Magazine. HAVERFORDWEST TOWN COUNCIL.—The quarterly meeting of this body was held at the Market Hall on Monday. There were present the Mayor, H. P. Goode, Esq. Mr W. Owen, Mr W. Rees, Mr W. Davies. Mr James Phillips, Mr T. J. White, Mr George Phillips, Mr Blethyn, Mr W. Walters, Mr Thomas Owen, Mr A. Beynon. The newly-elected councillors, Mr J. D. Brown, Mr John Madocks, Mr M. Whittow, and Mr Harford took tb<; usual oaths.—Thin being the day for ;he appointment of Mayor, the Council at once proceeded to that buBintis. Mr Whitlow proposed, aDd M.r G. Phillips seconded, the re-election of Mr Goode, which, m being put to the meeting, was carried unanimously. On the proposition of Mr VV. Owen, seconded by Mx W. Bees, Mr Thomas Williams, druggist, of Market-street, ivas elected Sheriff for tbe enstiing y par.—Mr M. Whitlow was appointed Mayor'sauditor, and$t the sqggesfion of Mr Rees, with him wa#:flSSpciated MV John Madocks — rhe Bailiffs; Sirgoiluts-at- Mace, and Messenger were re- appointed,—The qujtrterly meetings were ordered to be Ii. [,; held on the second Monday in February, second Monday in May, and the second Monday in August, each day at 11 o'clock.—The salary of the Superintendent of Police was increased to £ 90 on the understanding that he was to perform whatever duty might be required of him by the Corporation.—Mr W. Owen made a speech on thesubjsct of his loans to the Corporation, the New Bridge Tolls, and the improvements that have been effected in the town of late years. He denounced the statements that had appeared in the public journals as false, scurri- lous, scandalous, and abusive. Mr Alderman Davies also spoke on the matter, and referred in severe terms to the speech and address of Mr Thomas Whicher Davies, a candidate at the late municipal election. He proposed that a vote of thanks be given to Mr Owen for the most liberal and most handsome manner in which he had behaved to the Town Council. The resolution was seconded by Mr Rees, who referred to the attacks made on himself, describing them as 'pitiful, slanderous, abusive, malicious, and venomous.' The motion, which was supported by Mr G. Phillips, Mr Walters, and Mr Brown, was Carried unanimously.— Mr Whitlow also made some explanation respecting the sale of the Old Council Chamber, ani mentioned the purposes to which the money had been applied.—Mr Rees drew attention to the neglectful manner in which the Overseers (who, he said, were appointed for political purposes) had prepared the Burgess Lists, and stated that if their bills had come before the Council for payment, he should have moved that they be not paid.—Mr Owen gave notice that he should require the money lent by him to the Corporation. —The Treasurer's accounts were examined and passed. The meeting then adjourned. HUNT WEEK. Notwithstanding the unfavourable weather that has prevailed during the whole of the Hunt Week, the attendance of the county families has been numerous, and the sports and amusements of the season have been largely patronised. Mr Lort Phillips's famous pack met on Monday at Williamston, when there was a numerous 'meet,' and good sport was afforded. On Wednesday they met at Merlin's Bridge, whence they proceeded to Easthook. Not I finding there, they re- turned to Denant, when 'slyreynard' was drawn. The run, however, was brief, for the fox took earth at Pope- hill. Another fox was found, which, like the former one, was run to ground at Fernhill, which terminated the day's sport. The hounds n.ct on Friday at Cottesmore. On Wednesday evening a ball took place at the Assembly Rooms, under the stewardship of Earl Cawdor and the Baron F. de Rutzen, when a numerous company as- sembled. Amongst those present we observed: Earl Cawdor, the Countess of Cawdor, Lady V. Campbell, Lady M. Campbell; J. H. Scourfield, Esq., M P., Mrs Scourfield G.

Jones, Esq.; Voyle, Esq.; Capt Sewell; Grove, Esq.; Dr. Williams; — Raikes, Esq.; — Hawkes, Esq.; — Torrens, Esq. The ballroom was very handsomely decorated for the occasion, the effect of which was greatly enhanced by the alterations which have been made in the mode of lighting the building. Refreshments were supplied by Miss Rogers, of Tower Hill, and the wines by MissGibbs, of High Street. The arrangements of these well-known public caterers were excellent, and gave great satisfaction to the visitors. A ball also took place OH Friday evening, when there were about 120 present. ROOSE PETTY SESSIONS. These Sessions were held at the Shire-hall, on Saturday, before the Revds Thomas Watts and E. F. Woodman; Owen E. Davies and John P. Jones, Esqrs. STEALING WEARING APPAREL.

Complainant sworn, said, that the prisoner was lately in his employ as bcots he had been so employed for two or three months, and was discharged about six weeks past. He had several complaints from parties stopping at his house of their coats being missed. Thomas Lewis sworn: I live aHakin, I missed a coat from the Lord Nelson Hotel some time since; the last time I saw it was at the Nelson Reading room the coat now produced is the one I lost. Acting-Sergeant John Wade deposed having on the 6th inst., received a search-warrant to search the prisoner's father's house the prisoner produced two coats and an india-rubber cape, which he said he was keeping until the owners came for them; I asked him bad ile any more coats, he said 'no;' I then made a search and found this coat identified by Mr Lewis, the last witness, concealed between the bed and the sacking I then took the pri- soner into custody, and got him remanded to this day.
