TEN BY. "WOEKING MEN'S CLUB.—An exhibition of curiosities, Works of art. &d., took place at these rooms on Thursday evening week, and proved a great success, considering it Was the first attempt at anything of the kind that has taken place there. Amongst the exhibitors were Miss Smealey, C. Allen, Esq, Dr Dyster, J. J. Clarke, Esq., Mr R. Mathias, and several others. During the evening several songs were sung by Mr Ward, accompanied an the pianoforte by Miss Smedley, and by Mr W. Gibbs, accompanied by Miss A. Gibbs. We believe that the I idea of an exhibition of this kind is due to Mr Clarke, I of Waterwynch, who was elected on the committee at the last half yearly meeting, and has since been made Vice-chairman. SAUNDERSFOOT.—PETTY SESSIONS, OCTOBER 23. 1866. -Before Dr. Dvster, H. Sunders, g-q, R-v. T H. Dunn, and Capt. Child, Richard Badham and John Waters were charged by Mr J. Cadraan with violating the rules of the Shipping Colliery. On the 3rd of October, the foreman on descending the mine found the I slide' damaged. On inquiring of the two boys, who were 'hitchers.' one of them represented that the descending 'tram.' which Carried some timber, had touched the 'knocker,' and given the signal for hoisting to the engineman at the Pit's mouth before the trim was in a proper position to move. Some days afterwards, Badbam confessed that Waters had proposed to him to have an idle day by stopping the pit, and on Badham inquiring how it was to be done, said, 'oh, you give two knocks' being the 1 appointed signal for hoisting the loaded tram. The boys were the only persons at the bottom of the sbaft at I this time. The engineer swore that, to the best of his 1 belief, he received the usual signal of the three knocks, and started the engine, which produced the (Lunage. He swore that it was impossible that the loose timber in the tram (as suggested by the defendants) could have accidentally touched the 'knocker' and started the engine. The defendants met the case by a general denial, but were convicted and sentenced to six weeks' imprison- iBent with hard labour. Thomas Cale was summoned | for an assault on John Hughes. Pleaded guilty. It 1 appeared that for some time past, a gang of lads and i young men have been in the habit of watching for per- | sons in a state of drunkenness, and assaulting them, sometimes in a very brutal manner. Of this gang the -defendant was one, and his assault on Hughes was very violent and totally unprovoked. Ordered one months' imprisonment, with hard labour, and to pay S-s 6d costs. ■ Thomas James was summoned for using threatening language to his brother, David James. Defendant did Hot appear, and a warrant was issued against him. PHACTICAL JOKING —The age of practical joking is happily passed; an age when persons of shallow minds could by their perverted ideas of fun, cause an immense amount of annoyance: an age when comfort, happiness, safety of limb, and even life were practically disregarded, and when the most disastrous consequences attended the exercise of the mischievous propensities of the practical joker. But though practical joking as an institooshun' (as Artemus Ward would have said) has passed away, yet from time to time some silly blockhead, who had been asleep while the world kep.t moving, would suddenly vrake up and play off one of those miserable apologies for Wit, thinking it was 'quite the thing.' Within the last Week some such blockhead or numbskull has, according jg to our theory, waked up and played off two upon persons I in the village of Saundersfoot. The fir.-t was upon an | innkeeper, who received a letter stating that four or five | masters of vessels, then lying at, Milford, would be at 1 Saundersfoot on a certain day, and desiring that a first- 1 rate dinner be provided for their entertainment. As the 1 2lames were given, and the vessels known to he at Mil- 1 ford at the time, the order was taken bonajide, the repast I provided in a liberal manner, and too late the innkeeper | found himself the victim of a hoax. The second was of 1 a far more serious nature. A letter purporting tocrJme I. from a nurse, was sent to another resident, stating that his wife's mother and sitter, living at Pembroke Dock, g had been attacked by cholera: that she the nurse had been sitting up with them all night, and if he wished to J! see them alive he must come off immediately. The state of the wife on the receipt or such fearfai intelligence, can see them alive he must come off immediately. The state of the wife on the receipt or such fearfai intelligence, can be better imagined than described. As soon as possible ( they started for Pembroke Dock, and on their arrival I found that so far from being in the I pains of death,' they | v;ere in the enjoyment of very good health. The revul- g sion of feeling at the pleasing surprise was of course almost as dangerous as the reception of the bad news had been. Now that nothing serious was caused by this dastardly outraye is a tribute to the good sense of the parsons sought to be hoaxed, and no thanks are due to the player-off of the joke that it was not otherwise. The first practical joke may have been played by simply a ■weak-minded ass, but it required the brains of a fool, aided 1 by a desperately wicked heart, to conceive the second, < and a frightfully malignant disposition to carry it out. 1 We only hope, for the sake of society, the party or parties jg f?uilty of such a despicable act will be found out, and § their names held up to the scorn they so richly deserve, i

PEMBEOKE-DOOK.
PEMBEOKE-DOOK. PEMBROKE DOCK PENNY READINGS.—These readings took place on Tuesday evening week, at the Temperance Hall. It had been advertised that Sir Hugh Owen, M.P., would preside, and to this reason, we suppose, we may ascribe the great demand for admission, and a great many were unable to find room. The secretary, how- ever, read a letter he had just received from the hon baronet, stating that as he was suffering from an attack of bronchitis, his medical attendant would not allow him to go out in the night air. Mr McLean was then called on to preside. The programme was a very good one. A solo, 'Farewell' on the pianoforte was listened to with deserved attention, and during the evening the garrison amateurs were most such successful in the March of the Men of Harlech,' Spring's Delights,' Tha Hardy Norseman,' and All among the Barley.' Mr W. G. Phillips read I Love at Home' from the Weekly Instructor, and Mr Johnson gave His Adven- ture at Margate.' Mr P. F. Cox selected a reading from the works of Tennyson, but to the regret of the better portion of the audience he was interrupted by some rude b -ys who had gained a tooting on the gallery, and were of course, unable to appreciate the poem, the writer, or his theme; Mr Dorward sang 'The Marry Maids of England.' and gave 'Johnny Sands' as an encore; Mr Joe Griffiths sang The Unmarried Man,' a descriptive analysis of the married and unmarried man's life Mr D. Lloyd sang Friends of Old,' and Mr Hughes read Mr Brown's Vote,' and the entertainment concluded with the usual thanks, the garrison amateurs singing God Save the One on.' °

GAEDIGAN. ] CAPTURE OF A SEAL IS CARDIGAN RIVER,—-On Fri- day evenli g week a large seal, or what is called and better known in thisueighbourtiocd as a. sea calf, was seen in the Teify, just below Bryndu Mansion by two of the members of the Cardigan Rifle Corps, Sergeant Morgan and Private Thomas Evans. They immediately loaded the rifle they had with them at the time, and fired at the seal, striking it in the lower part of the jaw, and they afterwards hauled it into a boat and conveyed it to the town, where it was exhibited on Saturday to a large con- course of people at one penny per head. It weighed I from 1401b to 1501b, and its length was about four feet.

CORRESPONDENCE.
CORRESPONDENCE. We do not consider ourselvesrenponsible for the opinions and sentiments of our Correspondents SiR,—AUow me to say a few words with regard to the contents of the letter of Capt. George Bowen, which appeared in your last issue. I beg to call to Capt. Bowen's recollection that he conduced, more than any one else, to the poverty of the 'poor distressed families' by the evidence which he gave on a certain occasion before the Commissioners appointed to report upon the fishery. The reason that less saliuon were caught last season than for the last twelve years,' is that the month of September is now closed, and that is the most favourable month for salmon in the Tivy, and to bring this state of affairs about, Capt. Bowen con- duced by his evidence aforesaid. Capt. Bowen mis-states the closed months. Angling can be carried on in the month of September, and if he saw any salmon caught hetweeen Cardigan Bridge and Cenarth-fnll in that month in broad daylight,' (and angling cannot be successfully carried on at night; as any of the Cilgerran experts will inform Capt. Bowen on enquiry) it must have been by means of the rod; and, of course, there is no means of, and no reason why, 'our most respectable townsmen' should be prevented from receiving these legally caught fish for their dinners. If they were illegally caught why does not Capt. Bowen, in the interest of the poor fisher- men, as he is in duty bound, take proper measures to punish the transgressors, and protect the fishery instead | of crying wolf?' 1 I would ask Capt. Bowen a few questions. 1st. Does I the fact that salmon are cured at St. Dogmells prove that 1 they were caught elsewhere? 2nd, Are the fish the jg property of the Saint Dogmells fishermen ? 3rd. Who | does he expect to protect the fish, while the inhabitants of Saint Dogmells countenance poaching? He should remember that the guilty knowledge that salmon are caught between Cardigan and Cenarth constitutes com- pticity ? 4th. Which is the most liable, the robl/er or the receiver? The greater profits accrue to the receiver. 5th. Does he not know that more spent fish than fresh are caught in the month of February? and as he has been the means of getting September (when fish are in prime condition) fenced, in favour of February, does he not think he ought to apologise for his conduct in giving such damnifying evidence? I beg in conclusion to make a few suggestions, which I hope Capt. Bowen will assist me by his countenance in, in putting in practice, and I think they will bring the gffairs to a proper settlement, according to Capt. Bowen's i views. B They are these: That the close months commence when fl the water becomes too cold for the delicate limbs of the fl St. Dogmell's fishermen, and end when it again becomes N bearable; and that the vexed question of the size of mesh ■ be left to the determination of that very unselfish body. H In the meantime should they wish to be initiated into fl the mysteries of angling, they can do so on application to fl the Cilgerran crack, Mr James Michael. fl Yours truly, fl GRIFFITH GRIFFITHS.

GENERAL INTELLIGENCE.
GENERAL INTELLIGENCE. S REMARKABLE PlIENOMENA. Very beauntiful 'star a showers' are expected by astronomers on the nights of N the 12th and 13th of November. A PoMrsAMisT.—At the Liverpool police-court, on Saturday, Thomas Rigby, a returned convict, was charged with being the husband of four living wives. The second wife gave evidence, and the prisoner was then remanded for a week for the production of the others. CORNISH PUMPING- ENGINE-s.-The monthly report just issued states that 24 engines were reported in Sep- tember. They consumed 1,762 tons of eoal, and lifted 13 !miUion tons of water ten fathoms high. Average duty— 49,700.0001b, lifted one foot high by the consumption of t 11221b of coal. a Tun: GRTIAT JAWEL ROBBERY.—It is understood that a question li«s been raised between the Crown solicitor and the authorities of the city of London as to who is entitled to the property forfeited upon the conviction of the man Caseley, who, with others was found gui!ty of the extensive robbery of jewellery at Mr Walker's, in t Cornhill. The Corporation of London claim the pro- perty of all felons convicted within the city, under an ancient charter. a TRANSFORMATION OF MOTION INTO HEAT.—Nume- rous instances of this transformation occur daily; that S certainly takes place, even in the case of fluids, has been g demonstrated in the most satisfactory manner by M. Rennie. He boiled an egg by merely placing it in a vessel which contained about ten pounds of water, which e was made to revolve about 232 times in a minute. ft is g clear that in this case motion was the only possible a source of heat; and the result was the more striking, as g the friction of lluids is so very much less than that of solids. RKLfGiors SOCIETIES.—The London Missionary Society was established in 1795, and has received from the public in general contributions, legacies, dividends, foreign con- tributions, and special funds, up to the present time, the sum of £ 3, 262.346, and has expended from 1796, in India, £ 1,025,1S8; China, = £ 278,995; Madagascar. £ 79,590; South Seas, £ 364,485; South Africa," £ 359,631; West | Indies, £ 431,145; Siberia, ^221,399; Greek Islands, £ 15,961 Continent and North America. £ 22,226 students, I. &!•. £ 90,196; missionary families, £ 202,859; publications, j £ 64,827; home agency, £ 929.112; tota)..E3.)00,6.52. leaving a balance in favour of receipts of £71,694, which a is invested in stock, and has a nominal value of £ 84,160. a The publications and home agency together make up the g administration of the society, and the means of raising and expending its funds have amounted to £ 293,939. This outlay for agency amounts to 9 01 percent on the whole £ 3.262,346 received. Deducting the 'oreign, the outlay I amounts to 10 5 per ccnt on the balance of £ 2,79S,83o received at home. On the entire expenditure it amounts to 9'2i per cent. The entire sums raised by special appeals were-the Society's Debts, £ 25,645; Jubilee, £ 32 331; New Jj issionary Hout", £ 2,541; West Indies, £ 17,161} South Sea (ship). £ 40,834; Jlaratonga Storm, £ 3,251; Kaffir War, t4,315,, China (three funds) £ 64,359; Cal- cutta Institution, £3.05-{¡ India, £ 27.206; Madagascar Churches, £ 29,209; Central Africa, £ 7,7T1; Missionaries' Children in South Seas, £ 1,000; making together £ 257,932. A NOBLE DEED.—We briefly referred in The Times of Friday to a noble service performed by Mr Thomas Jones, master of the steam tug; Ely, of Cardiff, in saving with his vessel, during the recent z, gales, nine hoveilers, who were in the greatest peril in the rigging of the sloop Wool Packet of Dart- mouth, which had stranded on Bideford Bar. Mr William Yeo, shipowner, of Bideford, who was an eye witness of the brave deed, states that the crew of the vessel had abandoned her, and the two boats, crews, consisting of nine men, atterwards boarded the wreck, with the view of trying to get her off the bar but when the tide rose, the sea broke heavily over the vessel, and the men hoisted a flag of distress. The steam tug Ely now hastened to the rescue, against a strong tide and wind. Before, however, she could get near the wreck, the nine men were driven to seek refuge in the rigging. The sea was breaking fearfully in all directions, and the vessel rolling from side to side but Capt Jones and his crew bravely proceeded through the broken water at the risk of their lives and vessel, and succeeded in the first attempt in saving three of the men. This was all that they could then accomplish, for the sea was now breaking so furi- onsly over the wreck that the steamer was driven away, and the same want of success attended a second and a third attempt to approach the wreck. The captain then backed astern, and, with con- summate skill and boldness, actually placed the steamer directly alongside the vessel's rigging, with her bow over the deck of the wreck, thus saving the 1 six men in the rigging an i within the short space of two minutes the wreck had actually disappeared, and was not seen afterwards.' But for this bold success- | ful service nine widows (for the nine rescued men § were all married) and forty fatherless children would 1 to-day be lamenting the loss of husbands and fathers. I The National Lifeboat Institution has presented to | Captain Jones its silver medal and £ 2, and a copy of | its vote on parchment, framed in admiration of' his | noble and persevering services. The Institution also | gave £ 8 to his crew of eight men for their valuable | eo operation on the occasion.—Times, Nov. 6. I A FEVER-STRUCK ViLLAGE.—The < model village of Scorton/ which is situated between Lancaster and Preston, and which contains neither a public- house nor abeershop, has just been subjected to a fearful scourge in the shape of typhus fever. During the past nine or ten weeks the epidemic has been raging with more or less virulence. Towards the end of Aagust some of the villagers all of whom, as a rule, are unusually healthy people, began to manifest symptoms of what sub- sequently proved to be gastric fever. The disease spread with great rapidity, and, as often happens, it quickly degenerated into typhus. Viewed with reference to the smallne&s of the population, the number of cases which have occurred in the village has been singularly high. At present there are living in the village 36 families, and out of that number as many as 23 have been more or less affected with the fever. The individual cases in and around the village have amounted to eighty, and the disease had a fatal termination in ten instances. The disease was introduced into the village through a widow, and its development was singular. The woman named had a daughter at Wigan, who was taken ill of fever. One of her daughters went over from Scorton to attend her, and she was taken ill. In a short time the mother went to their assistance, and she too caught the malady. The daughter who left home died the other returned with her mother to Scorton, both being in a convalescent state. On arriving at Scorton they were assisted out of the con- veyance which took them from the station to their home by a man who afterwards was attacked with fever and died. The disease then spread to the house of a man named Wells, for whom the widow above named used to wash. Three of Well's family were taken ill, and one of his daughters, a fine young woman, twenty-two years of age, died. A railway labourer was then attacked, and he died. Afterwards another labour and his son took the fever and died. And in this way the epidemic spread from house to house for some time. Mr Peter Ormond, of Scorton, who owns a good deal of property in the district, has behaved most generously and humanely during the prevalence of this fever scourge. He threw open his house as a hospital for fever cases, procured a practised and skilful nurse from one of the fever wards at Liverpool, engaged three doctors, and paid for all the medicines and other restoratives required. The dis- ease is now rapidly disappearing from the village. THE STEKL PEN TRADE.—The statistics of the steel pen trade are rather astonishing. Ninety-eight thousand gross of pens are made weekly, consuming ten tons of steel. Sorue of these pens (of the barrel sort) are worth 12s per gross; others are sold as low as Hd peT grOSg. -2 Before the gross is complete 144 pieces of stcel have been passed through at least- 12 different processes, so that 288 distinct; operations are performed for a farthing

IIOLI-OWAY'S OINTMENT AND PILT.S.—Cramps—Neuralgia—< Spasms.—These severe nervous affections are h ippilj" moderated in their intensity and duration by the soothing and purifying powers of these inestimable prcpartions. Whether the crump be in the stomach, legs, or toes, it yields with equal facility to the application of the Ointment; and the recurrence of these dis- disorders is effectually prevented by a course of Holloway's Pills- which so regulate the stomach and bowels that perfect and easy degestion is ensured, and spasms avoided. The Ointment gives local, the Pills general relief. Enlargement of the glands, ob- structed or defective circulation are likewise soon corrected by these invaluable preparations, which purify and strengthen the blood, and impart tone to every organ in the body. TOOTH ACHE arises from various causes, but the most common kind is that where the enamel and bony sub- stance is oocayed 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 sucli cases BUNTKK'S NERVINE will give INSTANT RELIEF. Testimonial from E. Smitb, Esq., Surgeon, Sherston, near Cirencester. I have tried EUNTER'S NERVINE ia many cases of severe Tooth-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^] per packet, or post free for 15 stamps, from J. It. COOPER, Chemist, Maid- stone. Ladies should use none but the GLENFIELD STARCH, which never fails to give the most complete satisfaction. The GLENFIELD STAKCH is exclusively used in the ROYAL. LAUNDRV, and her Majesty'D L-mudress pronounces it to be the finest starch she ever used. Prize medals were awarded for its superiority, and the manufacturers have much pleasure in that they have heen appointed Starch Purveyors to the PRINCESS OF W ALES. The GLENFIELD STARCH is sold, in packets only, by all Grocers, Chandlers, &e., &c.

TO THE INDEPENDENT ELECTORS…
TO THE INDEPENDENT ELECTORS OF TIIE COUNTY OF PEMBROKE. GENTLEMEN, Of the death of our late valued Representative and Friend G. Lort Phillips, Esq, I can within the limits of this Address do no more than speak with the sincerest sorrow and regret, sentiments in which I am joined by you all. At the request of several influential friends in different parts of the county, I have been induced to offer myself as a candidate for the seat thus become vacant, and the honour of representing my zD native county in Parliament. In doing so I beg to assure you I have but one thing in view, namely, to promote to the utmost of my power the interests of this great country, and more particularly those of the county of Pembroke, which from its position is destined, I believe, to become one of the most important in Her Ma- jesty's dominions. My political views are well known to you. X should like to see such a Reform Bill carried as would tend to promote our national welfare by extending the Franchise so as to satisfy the just and l-easonable expectations of the country. I would always zealously vote for the maintenance of our defences by sea and land, remembering, how- ever, the necessity of an expenditure reduced to proper proportions in times of peace.
