THE PEMBROKESHIRE GAS AND WATER COMPANY, LIMITED. On Monday the 27th ult, an influential meeting of a number of the inhabitants of Narberth took place at the Town Hall, to consider a proposal for the erection of works for the manufacture of gas, and the laying of mains for its distribution through the town. The fol- lowing gentlemen were present: —John Roblin, Esq, Wm. W. Williams, Esq, A. K. Jenner, Esq, Messrs J. Nichnlas, Ditchings, James Williams, G. P. Brewer, Smith, Thomas, Morgan, W. Phillips, John Phillips, Walter Jones, J. P. Thomas, JoLn Truscott, and Mr Edmund C'impton, Civil Engineer. Proposed by Mr Hitchings and seconded by Mr Nicholas that Jno. Roblin, Esq, preside. After some conversation re- specting a schemo which had some years ago been before the public of Narberth, and the production of a plan of the town, it was proposed by Mr Hitchings, and se- conded by Mr Thomas, 4 That this meeting be adjourned until Friday the 7th day of September at 11 o'clock in the forenoon with a view to the attendance and co- operation of a few other gentlemen residents of the town, but now from home.' Plans of the town were then handed to Mr Compton, O.E., of Tenby, by whom the scheme will be matured for the sanction of the next meeting. A vote of thanks to Mr Roblin for his ser- vices in the chair having been passed, the meeting broke up, and some of the principal supporters of the under- taking accompanied the engineer to examine a few sites, considered the most eligible for the erection of works. It is surprising that so flourishing and important a town as Narberth, the centre of a large agricultural district, should have been so long without this desideratum, which we feel confident will conduce to its future pros- perity and comfort. No longer will he who may from business or pleasure have occasion to traverse the streets of the town during the hours of darkness be subject to the misfortune of stumbling over any obstacle; which lying in his path he feels, but does not see; unless peradventure he carry a lanthorn.

CARDIGAN. ABP:RATRON, CARDIGANSHIHE.—The public in genera! will be highly pleased to learn that Mr Selby, of the Feathers Hotel, has started a bus since Monday last, from tbis towu to Aberystwith, leaving here about II o'clock am., directly after the Cardigan mail arrives, and starting from Aberystwith about six o'clock p.m, on the arrival of the last train, returning to Aberayron about eight in the evening; thus affording an opportunity to persons to transact their businesn at Aberystwith, and return to Aberajron in one day by the same coach. This is already felt to be a great convenience to the public. THE TIVY SIDE HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY.—On Tues- day, the 28th ult, the above show was held in the Market- place, Cardigan. Notwithstanding the unpropitious state of the weather, the attendance of the gentry of the town and neighbourhood was numerous. The show of flowers, vegetables, &c, considering the dryness of the season, was good, and far excelled thnse.of former years. The band of the 2nd Cardiganshire Rifle Volunteers was in attendance, and played some lively airs during the evening. The display of various kinds of fuschias was very beautiful, both for variety of colour and size. There were also some very fine specimens of dahlias exhibited. There were several fine roses, and rich looking holyhoc-ks I shown in good quantity. There were also two or three ornamental devices in flowers which attracted great notice. The Committee deserve thanks for the effective manner in which the arrangements were carried out. ST. MARY'S NATIONAL SCHOOL, CARDIGAN.—The report of H.M's Inspector, the Rev. n. J. Bums M.A., has been received by the Rev. Griffith Thomas, vicar and school correspondent. The amount of grant obtained, and the general results of the examination were considered very satisfactory. Boy's ReportThe discipline is good, and the school is making on the whole fair progress, but the master s efforts are to some extent impeded, owing to the irregular attendance on the part of the scholars. The scripture knowledge is very fair, and the reading al,d and writing have improved; arithmetic may with advan- tage receive further attention in the second and the third standards.' Reading in the boys' school was decidedly above the average, there beinj* only one failure ifi the whole number presented for examination. Girls' Report: —'The present mistress has only been in charge since the end of last March, but already she has effected an improvement both in the discipline and in the moJa Of conducting the school. The religions knowledge is fair, and the reading and writing, are progressing favourably.

I A STEEPLECHASE BY MOONLIGHT.—A most exciting affair came off a few nights back at Aldershot. A match was made during dinner between Lieutenant Walmesley and Cornet Wyatt-Edgell, both of the 17th Lancers, to ride cross country from the Redan battery at Aldershot to the Asbcbtirch station of the South-Eastern Railway the match to be run off that night; the competitors to ride in their night shirts over their regimentals stakes CIO distance about 3f miles. The horses were sad- dled, and many officers of the 3rd and 8th Hussars joined the party, numbering altogether about five-and- twenty, and at half-past ter> the cavalcade left the bar- racks for the starting-point, calling on their way through Aldershot on a tradesman who usually officiates in the capacity of starter at the Aldershot Divisional liaces, who, however, was from home consequently the party bad to fall back on one of their own members to fill the place of the official. The Redan being reached, the word 'off' was given, azd both men were away at a rattling pace, Lieut. Walmesley leading at the first three fences, two of which were timber, and the third being a rotten bank out of a lane. The moon shone brightly, but there was a dense ground fog which ren- dered the fences difficult to see until the riders were close upon them. Mr Edgell now joined Mr Walmesley and both cleared the next fence-a post and rails—in true sportsman-like manner. The fog was then so dense that the pace had to be slowed, and both horses had some narrow shaves' over the awkward places which had to be crossed. The first check occurred at a gate where^both horses refused, but after one or two attempts Mr W almesley cleared it. Mr Edgell's horse refusing again, his rider crushed him through the gate, literally smashing it to pieces. The crash was distinctly beard in the stillness of the night a quarter of a mile off. The signal lights at Ash station besoming visible, it was comparatively plain sailing, both riders keeping well together until the last hedge into the high road was cleared, eighty yards from the station, which both took together. A smart race ensued, Mr Edgell at length winning by a head only. The party gained the barracks shortly before midnight.

HOI,I,OWAY'S OINTMENT AND PILLS.-Marvellous cures of sesatica, stiff joints, paralysis of the limbs, and other crippling di eases of the bones, sinews, and muscles, have been accom- plished by Holloway's Ointment. It is the only unguent which produces any impression on these complaints. The Pills also work wonders. The ointment and pills should be both used at the same time, for the action of the one is greatly assisted by that of t'he other. Why should any human being' suffer from the abovementioned maladies, when Holloway's Ointment and I'ills are to be founCl in every city and town in the world? These noble medicaments are composed of-jare balsams, and are as benign and safe as they are powerful and efficacious. TOOTII ACHE arises from various causes, but the most common kind is that where the enamel and bony sub- stance is decayed and exposes the nerve, which is then liable to be attacked by cold, or injured through coming in contact with some foreign substance; and in sucb cases BUNTKK'S NERVINE will give INSTANT KELIEF. Testimonial from E. Smith, Esq., Surgeon, Sherston, near Cirencester. I have tried HUNTER'S NERVINB in many cases of severe <jL'ooth-ache, and in every instance permanent relief has been obtained: I therefore strongly recommend it to the public.' BUNTEK'S NERVINE may be had of all chemists at Is 1|1 per packet, or post free for 15 stamps, from J. R. COOPER, Chemist, Maid- stone. INTERESTING TO LADIES.—At this season of the year the important process ,of h'eacbing and dressing Laces and Linens for Spring and Summer wear commences, we wou!d therefore particularly call the attention of our fair renders to the GLENFIKLD STARCH, an article of primary importance in the getting up of these articles The GLENFIKLD STARCH, is specially manufactured for family use, and guch is its excellence that it is now exclusively used in the Royal Laundry, and her Majesty's Laundress prononnces it to be the finest Starch she ever used.

'ni^ T-nby Eiilway at Pembroke Dock Station, ♦v^'ted Ce i^ie bJ'e-Iaw our Company, which 13 ex- Duhat our station8: it WHS there yesterday close to Sorter c,1entra"ce. The engine driver, and Brown, the Caiu;d mr attention to a person molesting a pas- t ia a railway carrage, I otclered him to be removed: he was very violent, and made a great dis- turbance on the platform. Thomas Brown deposed: I am a porter on the said railway. Yesterday evening about 20 minutes past seven o'clock, prisoner, his brother John, and his sister, came to the station and applied for two and a half third class tickets for Tenby, got them, and paid for them. I was standing near a second class carriage, opposite the station. Prisoner, his brother, and sister, went into a second class carriage. I told them they were in a wrong carriage. Prisoner said it was all right, as he was a Government man,—a volunteer belonging to H M's ship, Revenge, but. asked me to show them a third class carriage, which I did, and they entered the same, and shortly afterwards f saw the prisoner in the act of striking (a man and woman) passengers: he put his fist in the man's face: the wife interfered, and he then attempted to strike her: his conduct caused a dis- turbances in the railway carriage; one Roger Hughes complained of the prisoner and his brother's conduct. He assaulted the engine driver. Margaret Smith deposed I live at the East End, Pem- broke. I was in the train from Pembroke Dock to Pembroke last evening. Prisoner attempted to strike my husband. I told him be must not strike him, as he was a cripple, but to strike me if be wanted to strike any one. He did not appear very drunk. Fined in the mitigated penalty of 10s, and 10s 6d costs, Or fourteen days' imprisonment in the Houae of Cor- rection w ith hard labour. Fine and costs paid.

The prisoners admitted they absconded, but said that tbey could never do enough to please the foreman. There "as never a job done without grumbling. Mr Thomas said that he had carried on business for years, and bad never, excepting in one instance, fought a boy before a magistrate. His son had been "fought up to the business, and the foreman was sn ex- fenced man. and the only fault be hud to find with him )fas that he was rathor lenient with the boys. prisoners said that they had no fauit to find with *r Thomas or his son, but they had to complain of the foreman, who had often beaten them. Mr Thomas said that, when the boys complained to he always investigated their complaints, and they "ere found to be groundless. The Bench said that the boye admitted they had no fault to find with their master; and what they had said Was very complimentary to him. They should order each of them to be sent to prison for two months with tlard labour on the treadmill. Y Mr Thomas said he should like to say that he believed ,°bnston was the ringleader, and ihe other two had been influenced by him. Be would recommend Miller and Richards to the merciful consideration of the Bench. The Bench acted on Mr Thomas's recommendation, fttd reduced the period of imprisonment to one month In the cases of Miller and Richards. REFUSING DUfY. ThornGilbert, Thomas Daw, and Edward Price, learnen, were charged by Henry Greaves, with refusing duty on board the John Scott, at Milford. The defendants, in their defence, said that the ship not seaworthy, and that no survey of the bottom of ship had been made. The Clerk asked it Capt Vaughan was present? Capt Davies said that he was not, and that he was Unwell. The Clerk: Before this case is heard, I wish to state the Bench that, there was gr.?at dissatisfaction ^pressed by the Board of Trade to me, through their Inspector, with respect to a case heard some time ago, the magistrates had not called in the services of ~aPt Vaughan, who was employed by the Board of Trade j? aorvej vessels impartially. 1 feel it my duty to men- tion this now, in order that they may consider whether they would go on with the case in the absence of Captain Vaughan. The Captain stated that the vessel had been surveyed fly Capt Davies, who was present to give evidence. He 4180 had the written report of Capt Vaughan. The Clerk: Capt Davies will excuse me; but the feeling of the Board of Trade is that he is likely to be looked "Pon as a partizan whereas Capt Vaughan is an inde- pendent man, appointed for the purpose. I told the ■Bspector that the magistrates were not bound to accept VaPt Vaughan'a evidence as conclusive, if it were over Glanced by the testimony of other witnesses. The bitten report can not be received. It was also stated by the Board of Trade that they thought it was a great ^justice to the men to bring them before the Bench at Haverfordwest, when the cases could be heard by the at Milford. The case was adjourned till Monday, and referred for "Faring to the magistrates residing at Milford. FORGING A RECEIPT. Richard Howells, mason, was charged by George Griffiths, Of Saint Ishmael's, with uttering a forged receipt. }:Ir Price appeared for the prosecution, George Griffiths deposed that the prisoner came- to him On the 4th of Sep'ember, 1864, for two feet of lace for a eOffln. saying that the quantity obtained for him at J."0 shop the day before was short. The goods the ,ay before had been supplied to Martha James, (who had Jhice died) for Ihe prisoner, and consisted of coffin trim- ?Ings, to the value of 14s 9d, When the prisoner applied °r two fe t of lace, he told him that he had given the SQantity the day before, and that the carpenter must "ailed on two by mistake. He made a charge of J for the two f et of lice, but took it off again; he eheved the prisoner reiurried ribbon to the amount of Ca, which reduced the bill to 13s lld There was a ^ance of 6s lid due to him on account of the bill. He bill'° '■be primmer last January • and that day Mary Smith called upon him about the account, and gave him the paper produced. [The Clerk read the PnPer, which was as follow-—'St. Ishmael's, 27th jjUne, 1865. Bought of Mr George Griffiths, coffin trim- mings to the amount of thirteen shillings and eleven Pence. Settled 13s lId.'] Tiiers was no part of the receipt in his handwriting or his wife's; nor had he given ftny one authority to write it. The water mark of the Paper was 1866, while the date of the receipt was 1865. aet Saturday the prisoner came a'ter him, and asked turn to settle the matter before that day. Ho told him • Was no'- tor th i debt but for the forgery ha brought up. He asked him to settle it, offering to pay the J*3bt and all expenses, fie told him to go to the magis- "ates, as h« did not like to tease them himself. Mrs Griffiths, wile of prosecutor, deposed that the entry in the day book was in her handwriting. The loods were supplied to Martha James for the prisoner. She received 7s on account of the bill from the prisoner's George Smith, a shoemaker, residing at St. Ishmael's, eposed that he received a paper, which he gave to his efanddaughter, Maria Smith, from the prisoner's wife in d18 presence. They talked with him libout the money to Mr Griffiths, and said that they had a receipt to 'hat the debt was paid. He had the paper to show Mr Griffiths, but was told not to leave it go out of his ands, and to carry it back. He did not see what the m r C0Eta'1,et'' • r'a Smith deposed that she gave the paper she from the last witness, to Mary Smith. .Jry Smith deposed that sho received a paper from J^ia Smith, and that she gave it to the prosecutor. wus the evidence for the prosecution. «, k0 prisoner denied the charge, saying that he paid *}e money to the prosecutors wife, and that the receipt S vvai not the one he gave the witness, John t■a,1th. lis could not write himself, and could not have |^ed the receipt. «,*he Bench committed the prisoner to take his trial at e Assizes, and expressed their willingness to accept for his appearance.
