A large num- ber met at the ferry side, crossed over, and walked in procession to Picton Castle they then attended at the chapel in the castle, where an excellent and very appro- priate sermon was preached by the Rev T. Ault, who officiated in the absence, through illness, of the Rev J. H. A. Philipps, M.A. After the service was over, all were invited to partake of refreshments at the castle, which they thankfully accepted, and afterwards the whole of the company visited the grounds and gardens, the fountains playing in magnificent style for an hour or more, Mr Fletcher, the head gardener, being highly respected by the Society, and holding high office in the mysteries of the craft,' kindly accompanying them through the garden. An excellent band (a part of the R.P.A. Militia band) was in attendance, and discoursed some choice music in frontofthe castle, themembers of the club being formed in a semi-circle on the lawn at the time. Mrs Philipps, in her usually generous manner, sent them a present to drink her health, which was gratefully ac- knowledged by the bandsmen. The Club, after returning thanks in warm terms to the noble proprietor, returned to their lodge, where an excellent dinner had been pro- vided by Mr and Mrs Noot, of the Landshipping Inn. After the cloth had been removed the usual loyal and other toasts were drunk with applause. Among the many persons present we noticed some of the oldest brethren of the Haverfordwest Cleddy Lodge, Messrs George Rogers, T. N. Phillips, J. Thomas, H. Evans, and their old friend, Mr John Thomas, late of Land- shipping. The meeting broke up at an early hour, highly gratified with their day's enjoyment. a PEMBROKESHIRE MIDSUMMER QUARTER SESSIONS.— These sessions were commenced on Tuesday, before the Chairman, J.

O. Brigstocke, of Gellydywyll, it was ordered that the Superintendents of Police be supplied with caitle licences for issue to the public gratuitously.- A licence was granted for the hoidingoi a iair at Pem- "troke on the 9rh, and at Boncath on the 11th of July.—Thoinss Watkins and Eynon Morgan were a .'pointed ward rs in the County Gaol, in the place of D. 1'.

THE LOYAL DUNGLEDDY HALL LODGE OF THE ORDER OF ODD FELLOWS (M.U.)-The members of this Society had a numerous assemblage on the 26th inst., at their Lodge-room at Cross Inn, for the purposes of celebrating their twenty-fifth anniversary with a cor- comitant procession and dinner, and the usual festivities. The day was beautifully fine-in fact rather too much so, for the heat was intensely oppressive and made its effects tell very visibly on the perspiring countenances of both processionists and spectators especially the former, many of whom at the termination of their walk had—it can scarcely be doubted—what is graphically styled a wet shirt on his back.' At ten a.m., the members began to assemble, and after a transaction of a somewhat routine sort of business, they formed into procession, marshalled by Mr John Thomas, P.P.G.M., and Mr F. Clarke, P.G., and headed by their own celebrated brass band the brothers following, with the officers in the rear; the latter were Messrs John Lewis, N.G. Thomas James, Y.G. W. H. Thomas, Secretary; Rev T. Thomas, Treasurer; Thomas John, O.G.; and William John, I.G.; attired in the accustomed paraphernalia of ornamental aprons and sashe?, with handsome rosettes, many of which were tastefully decorated with some handsome flowers, to the great and undisguised admiration of a very large number of respectable and admiring spectators who lined the roads, and many of whom accompanied them throughout their entire perambulations. On leaving Cross Inn they pro- ceeded to Clarbeston Church where a highly appropri- ative and impressive discourse from the 8th v. of Psalm 62, was delivered by the respected clergyman of the parish, the Rev T. Thomas, one of the P.G.'s of the Lodae. On their return to the Lodge about sixty sat down to first-class dinner, prepared in the usual style of the hostess, Mrs Evans. The chair was filled, we hardly need to say, in his usual, pleasing, and efficient manner by the worthy treasurer, the Rev T. Thomas, while Mr John Thomas (P.P.G.M.) as ably sustained the duties of vice-chairman, and the festivities of the day passed off in the most gratifying way-toast and song—and that pleasant fellowship of the order, bringing the day's enjoyment, which will be long remembered, to a close, when they separated highly gratified (it is our pleasing duty to remark) at the day's entire proceedings, in any part of which there was not the slightest hitch. ————— I HAVERFORDWEST PETTY SESSIONS. < These sessions were held at the Shire Hall on Wednes- I day before the Mayor, John Madocks, Esq, and James Bowen, Esq. « DRUNKENNESS AND RIOTOUS CONDUCT. Ann Thomas, of Shipman's Lane, was charged with 1 drunkenness and riotous conduct. The defendant stated that she was not drunk, but bad a small quantity of beer. 1 P.C. Morse deposed that at 20 minutes to eleven, a 1 message was sent to him, asking him to go to Shipman's Lane. He went there, and saw the defendant drunk and I dancing in the road. She was swearing and abusing i David Owen. c Sarah Edwards, defendant's daughter, deposed that she did not see her dancing, and that she was not drunk: she bad a little beer in the hay field. P.C. Morse said there were a number of persons who could prove the charge, and the case was adjourned for the production of additional witnesses. j There were several other cases of drunkenness and I riotous conduct heard, in which the parties were fined 5s aud costs. 1 NEW LICENSE. < An alehouse license was granted to Mr Benjamin j Davies, who had become the tenant of a house called the Queen'# Hotel, near the Railway Station. COMMUNICATED. A poet (Robert Southey), we regret to say no longer i living to enjoy the honours of a reputation as universal < as it was well earned. tells, in humorous verse, the story that has made the Well of Saint Keyne popular for many an age among all classes of the people, and which still invests its waters with a certain air of romance, finaly 1 harmonizing with their picturesque appearance and posi- tion in a little green nook some two miles and a half south of Liskeard, in Cornwall.. A well there is in the west countrie, And a clearer one never was seen; There is not a wife in the west countrie But has heard of the well of St. Keyne. An Oak and an Elm tree stand beside, And behind does an Ash tree grow, And a Willow from the bank above Droops to the water below. A traveller came to the well of St Keyne, And pleasant it was to his eye, For from Cockcrow he bad been travelling, And there was not a cloud in the sky. He drank of the waters so cool and clear For thirsty and hot was he, And he sat him down on the grassy bank Under the willow tree. There came a man from the neighbouring town At the well to fill his pail, By the well side he rested it down And bade the stranger hail. 'Now art thou a Bachelor, stranger?' quoth he, Or if thou hast a wife. The happiest draught thou hast drank this day That ever thou didst in thy life. Or has your good woman, if one you have, In Cornwall ever been? For, and if she had, I'll venture my life She has drank of the Well of St Keyne.' 4 I left a good woman who never was here,' The stranger he made reply; 4 But that my draught should be better for that, I pray thee answer me why?' I 'St Keyne,' quoth the countryman, 'many a time Drank of this crystal well; And before the angel summoned her She laid on its waters a spell. If the husband, of this gifted well Shall drink before his wife, A happy man henceforth is he, For he shall be master for life. 4 But if the wife should drink of it first, Alas for the husband then —' The traveller stoop'd to the well of St Keyne And drank of its waters again. 4Ton drank of the waters, I warrant, betimes,' He to the countryman said -But the countryman smiled as the stranger spoke, And sheepishly shook his head. 'I hastened as soon as the wedding was o'er, And left my good wife in the porch'; But, faith! she had been wiser than I, For she took a bottle to church.' The pious lady who gave these miraculous virtues to the well, and consequeutly her name, St Keyne, appears to have been a virgin of the Royal British blood; her father was Braganus, Prince of Brecknockshire. About the year 490 she came to Mount St Michael, Cornwall, on a pilgrimage. and there remained so long that her nephew, Cadoc, went to fetch her. The people, however, had grown no less attached to her than she to them, and refused her perrnission;to depart, until, as the poet informs us, an angel summoned her, and of course all parties were bound to obey the mandate. The Well of St Keyne was then endowed with its marvellous properties, in memory of her, and perhaps by way of suggesting a piece of excellent domestifrphilosopby,—namely, that in the married state to !iv€ happily togetherthere must be an acknowledged supremacy but whether that attaches to the man or woman, as superior wit and mental charac- teristics may determine, St Keyne does not seem to have thought very material, and we are very much disposed to be of the same opinion.

ROOSE PETTY SESSIONS.
ROOSE PETTY SESSIONS. These sessions were held at the Shire Hall on Saturday before A. B. Statbuck, Esq, John Harvey, Esq, T.Roberts, E*q, and Rev P. Phelps. ALLOWING ANIMALS TO STRAY. Benjamin Howells, of Steynton, was charged with al- I lowing an ass to stray on the highway. The defendant admitted the offence, and was fined 6d and costs. Lettice Evans was charged with allowing three cows and one heifer to stray on the highway. The defendant pleaded guilty, and was fined Id for each anima) and costs. I Mr J. P. Jones stated that he was a witness in the case, and applied for costs for his attendance. The Bench declined to grant costs to Mr Jones, who stated he should put the defendant in the County Court for his expenses. DAMAGING A FENCE. James Davies, farm servant at Guildford, was charged with damaging a fence, the property of Mr Peter Brown. [Mr John Harvey left the Bench when this case was called on.] Mr W. John appeared for complainant. Mr Peter Brown deposed that he was owner of a small strawberry garden divided from a narrow lane by a fence. The road was six feet and a half broad in the narrowest part, and seven feet and a half in the widest. It led from the Beach to Guildford farm, and was quite straight. The hedge was uninjured at noon on Saturday, the 16th of June, but in the evening he observed it had been driven over in four places about four feet from the ground. He estimated the damage done at five or six shillings. The defendant was in the employ of Mr Phillips of Guildford. Some unpleasantness had taken place between him and defendant's master, who had put gates on the lane. The Lane was a public lane, and was used by the public. The hedge was his property; the garden had been in his occupation twenty-eight years, and his uncle held it for fifty years. Mr Evan Lewis, of Hill, deposed that the hedge was damaged for about eight yards, and that it would cost about five shillings to repair it. Mr Allen, of Nash, and P.C. Griffiths also'deposed that the hedge bad been damaged, the latter stating that it appeared to have been done by a loaded cart. The defendant said that he could not have prevented the damage to the hedge: the lane was very narrow, and what had been done was accidental. The Bench dismissed the case. STEALING BEER. ) Dinah Edwards and William Howells, agricultural ser- I vants, were charged with stealing a quantity of beer of the value of 14s, the property of their master, Mr James Hodge, of the Giltons. Mr Price appeared for the accused, and stated that the prisoners wished to be tried separately. The charge against the male prisoner was first pro- ceeded with. Sophia Davies deposed I am a dress-maker, and live at Uzmaston, but have been working for Mr Hodge at the Giltons for the last 10 weeks. The prisoner is a servant with Mr Hodge. On Sunday afternoon, between three and four o'clock, I was upstairs, and heard some person knocking a screw into a barrel. I ran to the top of the stairs, and when I got there I heard some persons running across the passage from the cellar into the kitchen. I waited a short time, and saw Dinah Edwards and William Howell going back into the cellar. Dinah Edwards bad a lighted candle in her hand. They re- mained in the cellar a few minutes. I went into the kitchen about half an hour afterwards, and found a jug there which had held beer. I had the key of the cask in my pocket at the time; Mr and Mrs Hodge were from home. Cross-examined 1 had about a glass and a half of beer before dinner it was not carried in the jug found in the kitchen. I went into the cellar the beer was all over the place. Sarah Ann Jones, aged 14 years, deposed that she was nurse in the service of Mr Hodge Dinah Edwards said that William Howells pulled the screw out but there was no beer there; and by knocking it in with a brush, he broke it. She said don't you tell that or you'll have to go to Hall too.' Mr Hodge deposed, that the cask had contained about seven gallons. He went into the cellar shortly after nine o'clock, and found the beer about an inch deep on the floor, and the screw broken. .1 Mr Price stated that the prisoner denied the charge the male prisoner met with an accidennt to his eye, and what was fetched from the cellar was vinegar to bathe it. The Bench dismissed the case, stating that there was no legal evidence to convict the prisoners and expressing the hope that they were also morally free from guilt. NON-PAYMENT OF WAGES. Philip Hire Hiichings, farmer, of Bicton, was charged by James Richards with non-payment of wages. The defendant stated the complainant agreed to return to his service, and he paid him 30s. at the time. The complainant, however, did not return as he agreed to do, and he refused to pay him. Mr W. V. James was present at the time, and lent him 10s. to make up the 30s., which he paid the prisoner, and could corroborate the statement. Mr W. V. James deposed that the complainant agreed to serve his year out, and was paid 30s. at the time but be did not understand that the 30s. represented the whole amount be was to receive. Complainant said he agreed to go back, but his father would not let him, as the defendant had ill-used him. The Bench ordered the defendant to pay the com- plainant the wages due to him for the part of the year he had served, but a third would be deducted from it, in consideration of the period of service including the winter quarter. The defendant should treat his servants properly: he had through his own misconduct lost his servant. MOVING CATTLE AFTER SUNSET. William Price was charged with moving a cow, two heifers, and one steer, on the highway after sunset. The defendant, who did not appear, was fined 2s. 6d. and costs. STEALING DRAPERY. Ada Irving, of St. Ishmaels, was charged with stealing 28| yards of cotton print, the property of George Griffiths. The prisoner pleaded guilty. Mrs Griffiths, wife of the prosecutor, in answer to the Bench, stated that the goods were taken from her hus- band's shop. Mrs Crymes, of St. Isbmaels, in reply to the Clerk, said the prisoner bad no relatives she had been nursed by her from an infant, and had always borne a good character. She was a grand daughter of a Mr Dennis, who lived at Haverfordwest, and a daughter of Mrs Pierce who was married at St. Mary's Church to one Erby, and went to Liverpool, leaving the prisoner behind them. Since then she had been with her, and had been brought up with her own family. She kept good hours; and was only late when returning from the singing school at St. Ishmaels. The Clerk observed that he was sureMr Sanders did not keep the school open at a late hour. Mr Hitchings stated the school was held in the even- ing after the work people had left their work. Mrs Crymes hoped the Bench would deal leniently with the prisoner, and thought Mrs Griffiths would have acted more neighbourly if she had overlooked the first offence. The prisoner was without a relative, and the neighbours were as much called upon as she (Mrs Crymes) was to maintain her. If she was sent to prison, she would receive her again, and take what care she could of her. The Bench said that they thought of sending the prisoner to a Reformatory, but after the promise of Mrs Crymes, they bad resolved to give her one more chance, and would send her to prison for one month with hard labour. If she was convicted of a similar offence again, she would be sent to a Reformatory for three years.

FENIANISM IN THE ARMY. The Court-Martial sitting in the Victoria Library, Royal Barrack, proceeded with the trial of Private Cranston, 61st, on Friday, the 22nd. Colonel Redmond, of the 61st Regiment, was examined, and deposed that the prisoner never gave him any information about any intended mutiny, or about Corporal Chambers, who had deserted, and who was brought back to his regiment from Mountjoy Prison, on the 8th of March. The pr14 soner at this stage called Capt Sloman, and also Colour- Sergeant M'Clury, of the 61st. The former stated that the prisoner was a servant to Dr Barrett, at Pembroke Dock, and was left behind there and the latter stated that he did not see the prisoner at the Curragh. The latter witness, in reply to prosecutor, mentioned that OF the night of the 21st of December the prisoner was on guard with him at the Royal Hospital, along with three other soldiers of the 61st. On the occasion one of th" guards remarked that the Fenians were making well of it, and that Luby bad got JE7,000 which had never been accounted for; to which the prisoner replied that MONEY was his object, and that be oould tell what that was if he liked. Another of the guard remarked ABOTTT the treatment the soldiers met with in towns, himself had been insulted to which the prisoner that they were low, ignorant fellows, and that he hear the I Yankee gentlemen advocating the cause. There was also some conversation as to whether or not the soldiers would fire on one another in case of an OUT" break. One of those present said there were not three in Ireland who would do so. Colour-Sergeant M'CLURF' who is a native of the county Down, and a PresbyterIan, argued, if he did not say in express terms, that they would fire, but might be prevented from doing so by the fact that women and children were in a crowd. TD prosecution has closed, and the trial is adjourned to TO* morrow (Tuesday) for the prisoner's defence. The of Corporal Chambers was resumed before the couf t. martial sitting in the officers' mess-room. NOTHING remarkable was elicited.
