THE newspaper correspondents, who accompany the Abyssinian expedition, make several allusions to the part played by Col. Penn's battery in the battle of Good Friday. The battery, which our gallant countryman commands, is known as the "steel battery," and has given rise to a pun in the British Army, by whom it is facetiously termed the Steel Pens." The battery behaved with great gallantry, and their daring, in the opinion of one correspondent, exposed them to imminent danger of capture. The accuracy of their fire must have astonished the Abyssinian warriors, among whom they created a terrible havoc. Col. Penn has seen a great deal of active service, and we are informed that he resigned a lucrative staff appointment at home in order to go with his I battery to Abyssinia. General Peel, in the House of Commons on Wednesday, remarked in a debate on the sale and purchase of commissions —" In my opinion, the good officer is the man who goes with his regiment everywhere, and who shirks no service where they may be." This is a correct description of Col. Penn, who has never shirked service, and who, we sincerely hope, will not in the end sustain any loss by the sacrifice he made to accompany his battery to the seat of war. IN the House of Commons on Friday, Sir C. O. Loghien moved an address to Her Majesty repre- senting that it would be advantageous to the country and to the good government of Ireland, and tend to allay jealousy and discontentment in that country if Her Majesty had a permanent residence in Ireland, and that this House, feeling deeply its importance, will cordially co-operate with Her Majesty in any steps she may be graciously pleased to take to carry out so desirable an object." The motion, though subsequently withdrawn, met with a favourable re- ception by the House, and the Prime Minister remarked that the wish expressed in it was founded on the best feelings of our nature that he was sure the desire it conveyed was one in which the country sympathised, and hoped the time would cowde when they would see those views pre- vail." During the debate, Mr Bowen, the member for the county, made a few well-timed observations, which will surely be read with the liveliest interest by every Welshman. The hon. member reminded the House that Ireland and Scotland did not exhaust the nationalities which, together with England, made up the United Kingdom. Wales required no troops to keep her loyal: her loyalty urew naturally, although she, too, had no Itayal Palace within her boundaries." These remarks, which were loudly cheered by the House, were attributed by some of our London contemporaries to Colonel Pennant, and the Times, probably in the hurry of publication, unable to ascertain the name of the speaker, ascribed them to an u Hon. Member," and in an article in the same issue, observed, there is a shade of the ridiculous in the proposal to feed a nation with bonbons, and the anonymous member who last night reminded the House that there was also a Welsh nationality in the United Kingdom, had the right of it as a matter of fact." Mr Bowen, in reference to this observation, addressed the following letter to this leading journal:- Sir,-Yoll are pleased to observe in your lending article this morning on the Royal residence in Ireland debate that "the anonymous number who last night reminded the House that there was also IL Welsh nationality in the United Kinglom had the right ofit as a matter of fact." t As an act of courtesy to myself, and for the informa- tion of some 01 my fellow-countrymen, I shall feel much obliged by your allowing me to state in your columns that the "anonymous member" in question was, Sir, your humble servant, May 16. JAMES B. BownN. The County .Member spoke the truth iu the few spirited words he addressed to the House, and when the time comes for the provision of a per- manent royal residence in Ireland, Welshmen may with the greatest confidence ask for a permanent residence for the Prince of Wales within the bor- ders of Cambria. Indeed if the claims of the two countries be fairly considered, and good behaviour be of any weight in determining the question, a better case may be made out for Wales than for the sister country.

HAVEKFOKDWEST R¡FI.E CORPS.—This corps will muster in the Castle Square on Whitmonday, at eight o'clock a.m., and proceed via Neyland to Tenby. A punctual attendance is desired, as the corps will leave the Haver fordwest Railway Station at 8 30. The return journey from Tenby will be commenced at 730 p.m. HAVRRFORDWEST AUXILIARY BIBLE SOCIETY.—The annual meeting of this society was held at the Brethren's Chapel on Monday evening The chair was occupied by the Rev J. H. A. Philipps, of Picton Castle. The pro- ceedings were opened by the reading of a portion of BCripture by the chairman, after which a prayer was offered up by the Rev J. A. Eberle. The usual report was read by Mr Howard S. Morgan, and addresses were delivered by the Rev H. C. Long, Rev James Hartle, Rev T. Davies, and by the deputation, the Rev C. H. Bingham. A collection in aid of the objects of the society was made at the meeting. < RHOSMARKET.—A concert, in aid of the funds of the National School, was given at the Schoolroom at Rhos- market, on the evening of the 19th instant, under the direction of Mr Hargraves, the master of the school. The attendance was very good, and the entertainment, owing to the frequency of the encores, did not terminate till half past ten. The vocalists were Mr arid the Misses Ball, Mr Swiss, of Neyland, Mr Thomas, Mr Hargraves, Miss Brigatock, of Rhosmarket, and Mr Clifton, of Freystrop. The accompaniments were played by Miss Ellen Brigstock, Miss F. Hall, Miss De La Motte, and Mr Hargraves. Solos on the pianoforte were effectively played by MissT. Hall, and by Miss Flora Pearn, a pupil of the first-named lady. The school also sang two pieces in a manner which reflected much credit upon theinsel yes. LIBERALITY AT THE TUFTON ARMS AND HENRY'S MOAT.-The liberality of Mr and Mrs Barham is si well- known as to need no remark, but still the tenants and others in the neighbourhood of Henry's Moat, wish to express their sincere thanks for the additional hospitality received from Treown this year again. Not many weeks ago a donation of zC5, was presented for distribution amongst the poor of Henry's Moat, and within a short interval the anniversary invitation of the tenants and surrounding neighbours to dinner at the Tufton Arms took place, on which occasion upwards of eighty persons partook of an excellent dinner at Mr Barham's expense, supplied by Mr Thomas. It included a splendid array of numerous delicacies, and the other arrangements for the day were very satisfactory. After dinner the cloth wasrerooved, and Mr Rider, a gentleman highly respected and esteemed in the neighbourhood, was unanimously voted to the chair. The chairman made a few brief but appropriate remarks, and proposed the health of Mr and Mrs Barham, which was drunk with three loud cheers. Speeches were made by several others, amongst whom were Mr Evans, of Woodstock, and Mr Harrips of Henry's Moat, who proposed the health of the chair- men, which was also well received. The chairman briefly responded to the toast, and thanked them for the kind manner in which they had drunk his health, re- marking that he could not but express his feeling and the pleasure he felt in being amongst them. He also observed that he had been in the habit of frequenting the place for nearly 30 years and that he never found more hospitality and civility in Wales than from the inhabitants in the neighbourbood of Farthing's Hook, and Henry's Moat. Mr Allon, of Danycoed, made an interesting speech, in which he remarked upon the good feeling which existed between his master and the tenants and also. throughout the surrounding neigh- bourhood. Mr Allon said that having been amongst them for some time, he was able to testify to their readiness and willingness to obey his commands, which proved the high estimation in which their respected landlord was held. The speaker concluded by express- ing his wish for the prosperity and happiness of Mr and Mrs Barham, and also of Mr Rider. The party then broke up, and went to their respective homes, parting in a cheerful spirit. ROOSE PETTY SESSIONS. These sessions were held at the Shire Hall, on Satur- day, before A. B. Starbuck, Esq, J. P. Jone, Esq, S. Harford, Esq, and the Rev P. Phelps. DESERTING APPRENTICESHIP. Edwin Luke was charged by his master, John Lloyd, shipwright, of Milford, with deserting his apprentice- ship. The defendant did not appear. Acting-Sergeant Carroll proved the service of the summons. The Bench ordered a warrant to issue for the defen- dant's apprehension. ASSAULT AND ROBBERY. At the Shire Hall on Monday, John Daniel, a well- known character, and David Daniel, residing at Narbertli Road, were brought up in custody of the police, charged with stealing from the person of James Hogan, the sum ot 8s 6d, on the 24th inst, at the parish of TJzrnaton. The complainant, James Hogan, deposed: I am a hawker, residing at Aberystwith. I belong to the rem. brokeshire Militia, and was present at the last training. The prisoner, David Daniel, is also in the Militia. About 12 o'clock on Saturday night, my sister and i met David Daniel near his father's house on the Narberth Road, and he invited us in. I asked him if there was any chance of getting some beer. He said he could get us plenty of beer. We went into the house, and I paid for half a gallon of beer, which was fetched by somebody. David Daniel then said "Give me half-si-crown." I fished "Why should I give you half-a-crown? I will not do so." He took off his coat, and turned up his sleeves to beat me. My sister said "Sooner than have any bother, pay the half-crown." I said: "No: I will not pay it." As soon as I said the words, he struck me, and John Daniel, the other prisoner, got hold of me by the throat, and held me against the settle. Both of them beat me, and David Daniel put his hand into my poeket and took out 86 6d. The money was in shillings and sixpences. I was half in beer, but 1 knew well what I was doing. The prisoners were sober enouch. They put me out into the road, and kicked tne. I said "Don't kill me," but they kicked me about the body very badly. There was another man there with dark whiskery bat he did nothing, and went out. I made my way as well as I could to the Police Office. There was a light in the room of the prisoner's house, and my sister was there. In cross-cxaniiriution, the complainant said he was'not in the house when David Daniel came in. D:p id Daniel went out for a few minutes, and returned. His fcom- plainant's sister was not given half-a-crown by David Daniel. He wa< never in the prisoner's house before. Mary Hogan deposed: I am the complainant's sister, f accompanied him to Daniel's house about hair mst. 12 o'clock. We met David Daniel this side of his father's tiouse, and my brother asked him if there was anv chance to get some beer. David Darnel said Y.s: come inside aud I will get you plenty of beer." We went in and my hrolher gave a shilling to get some beer. David Daniel wanted my brother to give him half-a-crown, and he Wn°H T K0t n° S0-, ,Da,v;d Dar,iel the,» my brother, I ,)l?n be-d him while the ot.her robbed him. I saw him put his hand into my brother's pocket. They kicked and abused him. 1 went out, and afterwards th^ I SotTunV my brother out. The priioners were not drunk. In cross-examination, the witness denied that David Daniel gave her half-a-crown. Acting-Sergeant Gillespie, of the Pembrokeshire Con stabulary, deposed tnat on Sunday morning, about two Acting-Sergeant Gillespie, of the Pembrokeshire Con- stabulary, deposed tnat on Sunday morning, about two o'clock, he apprehended the prisoners. John Dani 'l was lying on the side of the road, near has house, pretending to sleep. He asked him what he was doing, and he said he had been sleeping. He spoke to him about the robbery, and he denied that he had seen anybody, and said that he knew nothing of it. He found the other prisoner, David Daniel, in bed. This was the case for the prosecution. John Daniel, in his defence, said he knew nothing of the affair, for when the row commenced, he went out of the house and laid down. He remained outaide, and was sleeping when disturbed by the police. David Daniel pleaded not guilty, and called. Sarah Morris; a nymph of the pave, who deposed that she lived in Pater, but was now on a visit to Mrs Daniel. She was in the house when the complainant and his sister were there. Mary Hogan sat beside David Daniel, and kissed him, and called him her htfsband. Mary Hognn a<ked David Daniel for half-a-crown, and he gave it to her. When she was going away David Daniel wanted the halfcrown back, and she refused to give it. James Hogan jumped up and went to fight with David Daniel They fought^out, fair fisting, and David Daniel proved the best man. Mr Harford committed both prisoners for trial at the next Quarter Sessions of the county of Pembroke, which will he held on July 1st. Rebecca Daniel, the wife of John Daniel, was then charged with stealing two shawls and a hat, the property of Mary Hogan. The complainant deposed that when she interfered to prevent her brother being beaten by the prisoners in the preceding case, Rebecca Daniel came behind her and pulled her two shawls off her back and her hat off her head. She asked her for them, but she would not give them. Acting-Sergt. Gillespie deposed that he went to the prisoner's house, and found the hat and two shawls under a bed. Before he found them he asked the pri- soner for them, and she denied all knowledge of them. P.C. Harries corroborated the evidence of Acting-Sorgt. Gillespie. In the prisoner's behalf, Sarah Morris, the witness in the preceding case, deposed that she gave the articles to the police from off the top of the drawers, and that they were not found under the bed. The statements made by the police were false. The prisoner was also oommitted for trial at the next Quarter Sessions for the county of Pembroke. » INSPECTION OF THE ROYAL PEMBROKE ARTILLERY MILITIA. This fine regiment, under the command of Major Lewis, was inspected on Portfield on Wednesday by Colonel Lennox, commandant of Artillery at Pater Garrison. The men. in lull uniform, assembled in the Castle Square at half-past ten o'clock, and in a short time after- wards, marched to Portfield, preceded by the excellent band of the regiment. On arriving on the ground, the four batteries of which the regiment is composed, were formed into six divisions,; the first division was com- manded by Capt Owen; the second by Capt Jordan; the third by Capt Edwardes; the fourth by Capt Wells; the fifth by Lieut Walcott; and the sixth by Lieutenant Graham. Lieutenant Summers was attached to No. 1 division; Lieut Owen to No. 2; Lieutenant Harries to No 4: and Lieutenant Bowen to No. 6. The other officers present were Major Willan and Surgeon Brown. Forming first into open column, the whole then wheeled into line, and awaited the arriva! of the inspecting officer. A few minutes before twelve o'clock, Colonel Lennox arrived on the ground, and was received with a general salute, the hand playing at the samfe time an appropriate air. The Inspecting Officer, having received the usual regimental returns, at once proceeded, accompanied by Major Lewis, to examine the arms and accoutrements of the men. The examination was a very careful one, but the men, being exceedingly clean and soldierlike, passed the scrutiny most creditably, if we except a soli- tary instance with regard to the arms and busbies, on I which Colonel Lennox made some remarks. The inspec- tion of the two ranks and the march past being com- pleted, the line was put through the manual and platoon exercises by the senior captain-Capt Jordan. These exercises were 'most satisfactorily executed, the various movements being done with great smartness and accu- racy. Major Lewis then assumed the command, and the regiment having previously advanced in line in excellent order, was put through the following programme of field movements:— Retire by fours from the right of batteries.—Halt, front. Line from open column. Retire by fours from the right of battcries.-Halt, front. Left wheel into line. Retire by centre, halt/front. Advanoe in direct echellon of batteries from the right. Battery square. Reform batteries. Echellon change, front.ta left. < i Battery square. Reform batteries. Lino on leading division. Hetire by batteries from the left in rear of the right,— halt, front. Left wheel into line. Close column on N 0.:4, right in front. Advance in column. Right wheel. v Deploy into line on rear division. The field movements were brought to a close by opening the ranks and advancing in review order, and saluting. The whole of the manceuvres were very steadily execnted, and in the marching past the wheels were admi- rable, and the various batteries preserved their dressing with remarkable evenness and regularity. The batteries were then formed intolopen column, and facing to the left, they were addressed by the Inspecting Officer, who pre- faced his observations by enquiring whet her any man had a complaint to make. In response to this question, one gunner, belonging, we believe, to No. 2 company, stepped to the front, and Col. Lennox, having taken his nat\e. directed him to attend him at the orderly room after the dismissal of the regiment. Col. Lennox, then addressing the com- mandant, officers, and men of the regiment, said it gave him very great pleasure to meet, tor the fourth time, the officers and men of the Royal Pembroke Artillery, and to repeat his satisfaction so often before expressed at the soldierlike appearance of the regiment. Their appearance was, indeed, very gratifying, and he congratulated them upon the clean and neat manner in which they had turned out on parade. There were only one or two little matters in respect of which he had any fault to find. The busbies, of which be had made a complaint at the inspection last year, were improperly fitted, and certainly looked very bad but he had been assured by Major Will an that the busbies had been stretched as much as possible, so that on this head they were probab'y not at all to blame. The other fault he had to find related to the arms; some of which were not in the clean state he should have wished to see them. He need hardly remark upon the im- portance of keeping the arms clean: it was a matter which deeply concerned the soldier, and it was his duty to preserve the arms entrusted to him in the best possible condition. The field movements were exceedingly well done: he did not think they could be better executed, and he was highly pleased with the proficiency they had attained in the performance of their manoeuvres. He was also greatly pleased to find that their practice with the great guns at Pembroke Dock had been so successful he was present, on three days of their practice, and he thought tLry had acquitted themselves admirably. This was an important branch of their exercises, for it was scarcely necessary for him to state that proficiency at big cun practice was what was principally aimed at by an artillery soldier. The practice he had witnessed had been exceedingly good. and proved that they had profited by the instruction that had been given them. He had only to repeat the gratification ho felt at seeing them acquit themselves so well, aud he assumed them that it would sive him the greatest pleasure to forward a favourable report concerning them to the War Office. Col. Lennox then stated that an opportunity was presented to the men of joining the Army of Reserve, and that the names of any men who might wish to join would be then taken. He also enquired whether the particulars relating to the Army of Reserve had been explained to the men? Major Wilian stated that the documents had been read to the men, hut that they desired some information relating to the bounty. Col. Lennox said that. he believed he was eorreet. in stating that the period of service was five year: and that a pound would be paid at, the end of the training to those who joined Those men who then joined would receive a pound k the end of the present training. After these explar.a- tions had been given, about 100 men signified their desire to join the Army of Reserve, and were form"d into a c XIIPAny of themselves, and inspected by Col. Lennox. After the examination, the men returned to their respective batteries, and the whole forming into fours, returned to the Castle Square, where they were dis- missed. There was a large assembly of persons on the ground, including a great number of ladies, who appeared to watch the evolutions with much interest. In the afternoon, the band of the regiment, under the able leadership of Mr E. Ribbon, played a selection of rau*ic in the vicinity of the mess-room in Hill Street, and sub- sequently they repeated the performance in the Castle Square, to the enjovment of a large crowd of spectators. The band, which is probably surpassed by that of no militia in the kingdom, has been a great attraction to tbe regiment, and it is a simple act of justice to them to state that, by the courtesy of the officers, they have been very I liberal iu their performances daring the whole of the, training. The periceJ of training will eapirc on Saturday! some of the batteries commenced to remm {heir and accoutrements into1 store shortly after the inspection, and by the time this notice reaches the eye of ostf readers the regiment, (the conduce of which has, with bat very slight exception, been very satisfactory throughout training.) wilt have been disembodied. The'fegWMB* now musters its full strength.. and there would bello difficulty in still further increasing its numbers if it were desirable to do set. Men enter the' force readily, nnd fact speaks volumes for the character of the service, proves tbe popularity of the offices, who evince tb0 kindest interest in the welfare of tho?«r snder their tuand. The present strength of the tfpgJraeru is as lows—Officers, 14; Sergeant Major, if Sergeants, 18? Corporals, 13; Trumpeters, 4; Gunners, S68. There are fourteen absentees, and if these be reckoned with the preceding numbers, the total would amount to 432 of all ranks As we have already intimated, the sheers' n"9S was held at the usual place in Hill Street and during the training the officers have dispensed their sustofflsry hospitality, and frequently entertained gentlemen c°n" nected with the town and neighbourhood. Ws cau^o* conclude our report without bearing our testimony to the exertions of the permanent 8t:-df, under the threctJoP of Major Wilian, to secure the efficiency of the The chief of the non-commissioned staff, Sergt Brown, the gunnery instructor, Sergt Hicks, ar4 W various drill instructors have each in their sers*8' capacities spared no pains to impart knowledge tc, men, and that they have been eminently successful' proved by the praise which the regiment received the Inspecting Officer.

The chair was taken by Morgan-Lloyd, Esq, barrister- law, Temple, who having stated the object of the meeting called upon Hugh Owen, Esq, of W hitehall, honorm secretary, to read the report. In this he gave a gene A.1 resume of the movement from its commencement, «0.4 showed that it is now assuming a very satisfactory tion. He reported that a deputation had lately upon the Right Hon. H.

The rep0? having been read, was put to the meeting and un*101' mously approved. Amongst other remarks, an exp'^ sion of regret was made that the expenditure have been so heavy, but the meeting expressed confidence that from the well-known character of' present secretary, every economy will be studied so >*[ as will be practicable in bringing this great work t° successful issue. Resolutions were then passed iippoi"1, ing tbe gentlemen who had consented to form the and Executive Committee, also those who had to act as Trustees for the General Fuud and College pr°C perty. Morgan Lloyd, Esq, was unanimously Treasurer, and Hugh Owen, Esq, Honorary Secret*'?* It was also resolved that the half-yearly meeting oftl]8 subscribers and general committee should he held a'te.r' nately in London and at Aberystwith. General sa^' faction prevailed at the meeting, and all seemed greaJl? cheered at the future prospects of the University Wales. Thanks to the Chairman terminated All who are tbe friends of high class education in will be happy to be informed that Samuel Morley. has just promised the handsome donation of towards the fund of the University at Aberystwith.
