CROWN LANDS.—The annual report has been issued, showing what, has been done in the management of the hereditary possessions of the Crown, the present account being for the financial year ending with March last. In Wales 20 leases have been granted of property belong- ing to the Crown fifteen of these are of land and fore- shore, and of the right of sporting over lands and waters. The rents reserved in these leases amount to £ 70 per annum. The other five leases are in mines and quarries, and in one case of certain ponds and watercourses used in working mines. The amount of revenue which the Crown may derive from this property depends upon the quantity and value of the produce obtained from the mines and quarries. Particulars are also given of 80 sales, by private contract, during the past year, of the Crown interest in and over waste land and encroachments thereupon in Wales, and foreshore land, containing alto- gether about 614a 3r 39Jp. The purchase moneys real- ized by these sales amount altogether to the sum of £ 1,935 10s Sd. The annual revenue derived by the Crown from the properties included in these sales was very trifling. HAVERFORDWEST READINGS.—The first of these en- tertainments took place at the Tabernacle School Room on Monday evening, under the presidency of the Rev J. H. A. Philipps, of Picton Castle. The Chairman, in opening the proceedings, remarked upon the aviae of this kind of entertainment, which he :,aid combined in- struction with amusement. The purpose, too, to which the proceeds were to be applied was a most laudable one: they were to be given to the funds of the Haverfordwest Infirmary, an institution which was of the greatest value to the county, and' deserved the support of all classes. After a few further observations on the nature of the entertainment, which the rev. gentleman remarked bad his entire approval, he introduced Miss Blackmoro and Bliss Stunnard, who played a duet on the pianoforte in a manner which evoked the plaudits of the audience. Mr J. Paviri Phillips read very effectively the 'Story of Le Fevre.' The selection was one of the best that could be made from the writings of the pathetic and sentimental author of Tristram Shandy: its beauty and pathos were done full justice to by the reader, and at its conclusion he was loudly applauded. Mr R. H. Harvey sang with much taste, 'The Rhine Maiden,' and was vociferously encored. The Rev F. Foster read two pieces successfully —one by Longfellow, entitled 'Resignation,' and the other a humorous piece, called The Quaker and the Robber.' Mr John, surgeon, gave in excellent style, "Edinburgh after Fodden,' (by Aytoun), and a selection from King Richard II!. Miss Blackmore was warmly encored ia her song of Janet's Bridal,' and Mr Wilson sang with great success, When the swallows homeward fiy.' The entertainment concluded with the national anthem, in which Mr R. H Harvey sang the solo with his usual ability. Votes of thanks were given, on the motion of the Chairman, to the ladies and gentlemen who had assisted at the entertainment, and a similar vote to the Chairman for his kiadnesss in presiding was carried with great unaimity on the proposition of Mr Harvey. The audience was very numerous, every part of the building, which is a large one, being fully occu- pied. HAVERFORDWEST PETTY SESSIONS. These sessions were bold at the Shire Hall, on Thurs- day, before the Mayor, J. W. Phillips, Esq, Mr J. Harvey, Mr James Bowen, Mr T. Rule Owen, and Mr John Madocks. REFUSING TO LEAVE A PUBLIC HOUSE. William Fortune and David Eynan, of Pembroke, were charged with refusing to leave the Stonemason's Arms, on Meriiu's Hill, when requested to do so. The charge was fully proved, and tho defendants were ordered to pay a fine of £ 1 and costs, and in default of payment to be imprisoned for nine days. The money not being forthcoming, the defendants were sent to prison. -W LTL DAMAGE. Thomas Fortune, of Pembroke, was charged with breaking a pane of glass and a backet, the property of the Haverfordwest Corporation. The defendant was committed to prison for nine days. BREACH OF THE PEACE. Harriet Drakejord was charged with using language towards Mrs Jones, of Merlin's Hill, calculated to provoke a breach of the peace. The parties, with the permission of the Bsnch, settled the matter out of court. DRUNKENNESS. Thomas Jenkins, of Churchill, was charged with drunk- kennees. The defendant was fined 5s and costs. Catherine Williams, a tramp, was charged with a similar offence. In reply to the charge, The defendant said: I am drunk with my old head every day, since I shook my brains some years ago. (Loud laughter.) I got no victuals, but I took something to drink, and my old head is so bad that I ought not to touch it. I am a poor old woman, and I cannot pay anything. The Clerk: What do you say to the charge? Defendant: I am guilty-guilty enough to my shame I say it. But do forgive me. I fell over 12 steps and shook my old brains, and my head is not fit to touch a drop. (Laughter.) The Mayor: You should abstain altogether. Defendant: I could get nothing to eat; but I had something to drink, and there being no victuals in my belly, it got to my old bead. Tha Bench fined the defendant 5s and costs. BREACH OF THE PEACE. William John, of North-street, was charged with using abusive language towards Catherine John. The defendant did not appear, and the case was adjourned for a fortnight, a warrant being ordered to issue in the meantime for his apprehension ROBBERY BY AN APPRENTICE. Warren John, aged 18 years, an apprentice of Mr Perkins, printer, of High-street, was charged with stealing 557 lbs. of type, the property of his master. Mr Perkins deposed that the prisoner was his appren- tice, having entered his service under indenture in 18G3. About a month ago, he missed a small quantity of type, and in consequence of what he had heard since, he made a search, and found that a large quantity had been removed. A small quantity had been taken from a number of different lots, so that it was not easy to detect the theft at once. The stereotype plate produced was his property, and he believed the other type produced belonged to him. Mr Superintendent Cecil deposed that on the 31st of October he found the type produced on the premises of a marine store dealer in Shut-street, named MacNulty, and took possession of it. He apprehended the prisoner, charged him with stealing the type. and cautioned him. The prisoner said he did steal it. and sold in small i r quantities, but that he did not break it before selling it. The prisoner elected to be tried summarily, and pleaded guilty. Mr Perkins: I have no wish, your Worships, that a severe sentence should be passed. His father and mother are very respectable people, and he submitted to temptation put in his way by some other persons. Mr Harvey: It is not a personal matter: it is a ques- tion of public justice. The Mayor, in passing sentence, said: Warren John,- You have pleaded guilty to the very serious offence of stealing from your master this very large quantity of type—557 lbs, to the value ofXI3 in money- Prisoner: Not the whole of it. I only had one-third of it. The Mayor: You have pleaded guilty to stealing a large quantity, whether it was 557 lbs or not is not very material in a case of this kind. Your master has said he does not desire that a severe sentence should be passed upon you; and the Bench have consulted together, and we cannot possibly deal with the case in a'lenient manner. It is one of a very serious character you were placed in a position of confidence: you had access to the property of your master in his prin:ing office, and it was very much at your disposal. You have been guilty of stealing the property which it was your duty to protect We feel we cannot pass upon you a light sentence, and that we should not discharge our duty to the public if we did not pass upon you the full sentence which the law em- powers us to inflict. The sentence of the court is that you be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for six months. We hope this will be a warning to you, and that you will endeavour to retrieve your character when you come out of jail. An order was made for the restitution of the type to Mr Perkins. THE MARINE STORE DEALER. — MacNulty, a dealer in marine stores, residing in Shut-sireet, was charged with neglecting to make an entry in his books of a quantity of type purchased by him of the prisoner in the preceding case. The defendant pleaded guiltv, sayinc that Warren John told him that the type came from Mr Perkins, and he did not think it necessary to make an entry of it. The Clerk asked the defendant if he wished John to be examined as a witness in his behalf. The defendant, said he did, and that all he wished was that he should tell the truth. Warren John deposed that he told the defendant that the type was from Mr Perkins. He went there with lots a couple of times a week: for the three first lots which weighed about 30 lbs, he received Igd a pound. He kept going to defendant (or about two months onco or twice a week. He could not tell how many times he went there, but he thought it was about twelve times. The Mayor: You have pleaded guilty to the charge which has been preferred against you: and tbe Bench are of opinion that as they have given the boy, John, the full penalty the law authorised us to inflict, we cannot do less than give you the same measure of punishment. They consider that in the twelve visits the boy paid you, you had sufficient notice that the type belonged to Mr Perkins, and it was your duty to enquire in what way the boy became possessed of it. The sentence of the court is that you pay a fine of £ 20, and the costs of these proceedings; the fine and costs to be paid in one calendar month, and in default of payment, to be levied by dis- tress, and in default of sufficient distress, that you be imprisoned for the term of three calendar months unless the fine and costs be sooner paid.

T E N B Y. We have just seen an immense vegetable marrow, grown in the open air, in the garden belonging to the Rev. J. Dalton, vicar of St. Issells it measured in length 29 inches, in girt 26, and weighed nearly 24 lbs. A TEA MEETING was held at the New Independant chapel at Amroth, on Tuesday evening last: the attend- anoe was very numerous. The addresses at its close by the Rev D. Mathias and others, were eminently practical and interesting, and were listened to with great atten- A tion. DRINKING FOUNTAIN.-The following inscription, finely engraved on a brass plate, has been recently placed on the eastern side of the fountain in Tudor Place In memory of Thomas Josiah Wedgword, Lieut.-Col. Scots Fusilier Guards, this fountain was given to the in- habitants of Tenby, by Frederic D. Dyster, M.D.' A MISSIONARY MEETING was held at the Wesleyan chapel, Stepaside, on the 12th inst., Mr W. Dawkins of Pembroke, in the chair. The meeting was addressed by the Revds. J. Harding, A. B. Holford, and E. R. Edwards and others. The meeting, which was well attended, was very satisfactory and the collection made at the close an average one. WORKING MEN'S CLUB. -On Thursday evening last, the Rev G. Huntington delivered a most instructive and amusing lecture at these rooms, entitled,—' Amusements, and the need of supplying Healthy Recreations for the People.' The chair was taken by C. Allen, Esq. There was a large audience, and the able lecturer was listened to with great attention. At the conclusion, on the mo- tion of A. A. Heitland, Esq., a vote of thanks was un- animously carried to Mr Huntington, after which the meeting separated. We have much pleasure in giving circulation to what, although at present an on dit, is likely to become an es- tablished fact, namely, that our charming watering-place will not be deficient in excitement this coming winter season. We knew of the Soirees Dansantes. We believe that the Fancy Ball is an equal certainty. Rumour has already been busy in the sense of Amateur Theatricals. These charming performances we hope will be extended for the benefit of the town charities. Somebody has mentioned an Amateur Concert. And now that there are two packs of hounds, there is no reason we should not vie with the festivities held at Haverfordwest, and have our own Hunt Ball and Week. These things bring visitors to the town, and benefit trade in all its branches. We know we have sufficiently energetic individuals to work and they only want supporters in their undertakings to make the coming season a useful and festive one. PETTY SESSIONS, November 13, 1867.-Before Dr. Dyster, Captain Child, and Rev T. H. Dunn. An order of ejectment was made on Ann Gunter, at the suit of Theophilus Lewis. John Phillips was charged with selling beer without a license, at Jeffreston. It appeared that a license had been obtained three days previous to the alleged sale, and the caso was dismissed, leaving the question of how the license was obtained untouched. George Price was charged by John Kay, with being on certain lands at Gumfreston, unlawfully, and in pursuit of game. The defendant had absconded, and on proof being given that he was found on the lands in question, at between six and half-past six a.m. on November 7th, wfth snares in his possession, he was oonvicted in a fine of 40s., and in default to two month's imprisonment, with bard labour.

The case was settled.

P E !.1: B R 0 K E. TOWN COUNCIL.—There was a large attendance at the annual meeting on Saturday last. Dr Henry Trout Jones was nominated as Mr Trewent's successor in the mayoralty, and after a proposition that Mr Trewent should be re-elected, but which that gentleman declined, Dr Jones was unanimously elected. A hearty vote of thanks was given to Mr Trewent for his past services. SUICIDE.—On the morning of Friday the 18th inst, about nine o'clock, George Gwyther, a butcher, residing at Monkton, Pembroke, committed suicide by cutting his throat with a razor. It appears that for some time past he had been unable to follow his business inconsequence of an injury done to one of his toes by an animal tread- ing upon it. This it is said made him despondent. A neighbour hearing a great noise rushed in to ascertain the cause and found him sitting on the bed bleeding frightfully. Dr. Arthur Reid was quickly in attendance, but his services were of no avail, as the self destroyer expired about noon. Deceased was about 60 years of age. An inquest was held at 3 p.m. on Saturday after- noon before William Vaughan James, Esq, coroner, and a respectable jury, when a verdict of Suicide by cutting his throat with a razor, whilst labouring under a fit of temporary insanity was returned, PEMBROKE PETTY SESSIONS.

S T, D A V I D'S. PUBLIC HOUSES AND PUBLIC PROGRESS. The following letter recently appeared in the Kemes Guardian SIB,—A few weeks ago one of your Correspondents stated that the p#ej&5'fW opening of a new hotel J mark of progress1 at. Sfc Davids's; but other persons think it a sign of mwyeYissii t in the wrong direction. The population of the pkrish can hardly equal W thousand, and of that fiuaiber the greater part gists of agricultural servants, labourers, and paupers. J town has already a dozen public houses; the lead"1! one haa occupied the first place, and has been roana?8 by members of the same family for .nearly a cenW' the next in order a pattern of ckanliiiecs and cofflW has recently been opened, and most. of the smaller on are respectable and thriving. UnJcss, thev, is very much on the increase at St. Davivd'd the Btyfl of public houses is surely equal to the demand, ft ,8. mere assumption, without a shadow of reason, to that visitors want another public house when visits come they will want respectable private lodging8 reasonable eharges, and there are only two houses in town at present, in which rooms can be had. If 80 traction for visitors be needed, I am confident that ;8' spectable private lodgings at St. David's would brlD.g together a greater number of strangers thac an, Odd" tional hotel could be expected to do. If the promoters of the n^w hotel would tufSf$e.lf attention to the subject of investing their cap«^ four or five, or even six convenient houses in parts of the town, I think they would stand a chance of procuring a profitable investment for thflf money, than by laying it out on one large and espeB/ sive establishment which under ordinary circumstance must be a loss, and under the most favourable stances cannot be profitable. By additional houses the town would be permanently benefitted, the inhabits11'? would have increased accommodation and there W1" be more room for visitors. It is generally admitted that an agricultural populs" tion most of all requires elevating and purifying; fsrBl drudges must have relaxation, and their only resouteeo, at St. David's are courting,' and the public bouse. An attempt, it is true, is being made to do good b1 giving penny readings for fourpence or two pence, but the building in which such meetings are held is still finished and uncomfortable. Instead of our being urf!e to complete this building which may be of much se('< vice, wo are urged to make preparations for supp°se.| visitors instead of the rich and prosperous and informed being pressed to discharge their obligations to their inferiors and dependents bv informing their ffliD and purifying their sentiment, they are invited to entet upon a new scheme which if realized will only putS bar to the effecting of any permanent good. I send you this letter, and ask you to insert it tn Your A paper, that the subject of it may, if possible, be 0000" dered and debated upon. I am, sir, Your obedient servant, COMMON SENSS, November 6th, 1867.
