FUNERAL OF THE LATE COMMANDANT COL. ISAAC MOORE. On Saturday morning last the mortal remains of Col' Moore were depositd in the ground of the Military Cemetery, Pembroke Dock, which is situated some short distance to the eastward of the Huts Encampment. The morning was very fine, and some thousands of persons bad congregated to witness the mournful procession and ceremony. Nearly the whole of the shops in the town were wholly or partially closed, and most of the leading tradesmen attended the funeral, which was the largest and most ifnposing that has ever been witnessed in this country, numbers of persons from Pembroke, Tenby, and other places being present. The whole of the troops of the garrison, as well as those of the outlying stations, and from the forts on the Haven, as well as the sailors and marines from the Revenge, were present, the whole presenting a very splendid appearance. According to the medcal testimony, his death was caused from a fit of apoplexy, or from disease of the heart. Shortly before neon, the mournful procession left the encampment, the roadway being lined on either side by the troops, who, its the first part of the procession pissed them, fell in the rear in their allotted places. First came the firing party of 300 men of the 13th depot battalion, with arms re- versed, under the command of Major Nicholas. Then came the band of the battalion, some &0 in number, playing the "Dead March in Saul." Next came the corpse, which was placed upon a nine-pounder field gun carriage, the coffin covered with the Union Jack, drawn by four fine black horses, the drivers being Sergeants Lane and Kempton, of the field artillery. Sergeant- Miijor Xittitneris, of the same corps, rode a black charger, and acted as marker. On the timber box sat Sergeant Gamble, the deceased's clerk, and Sergeant Trevor, the battalion clerk. The carriage was flanked by six Colour- Sergeants, and the palt,henrers were Col. A. F. Lennox, Royal Artiiery Col. G. F. Mann, C.B., Royal Engineers, Captain R. Hall, Superintendent of the Dockyard; Major Carruichael, Captain Foster and Captain Lemens, the three latter of the 13:.h battalion. Then followed the deceased's black charger (in black trappings) his master's boots and spurs tieing slung over the saddle), led by two men. This animal had carried his master for many years, and had been all through the Crimean campaign. Then followed the chief mourner, the deceased's brother, we believe, accompanied by four officers. The blue jackets and marines next followed, then the Coast Brigade Royal Artillery, next the Pembroke Dock Artillery Volunteers, and the batteries of the 13th brigade Royal Artillery, then the 13th depot battalion, comprising the depots of the 9th, 36th, 46 II, 47th, 58th, and 95th regi- ments then followed the master gunners, then the tradesmen of the town, four-a breast, and the clergymen and ministers of various denominations; finally the whole of the officers of the district, Royal Artillery, ltoyal Engineers, Infantry. Royal Navy, Commissariat, and the Civil Service, the whole numbering about 150. The procession, as may be imagined, was a very long one, extending a considerable distance. Upon arriving at the gate of the cemetery, the colfin was borne from the gun carriage to the grave upon the shoulders o: the six Colour-sergetnts who had accompanied it. The beautiful and touching service for the burial of the dead, was read in a most impressive manner by the Rev J. A. Bay ley, M.A., chaplain of the garrison, the whole of the soldiers being uncovered. The ceremony concluded by the selected party firing three volleys of ammunition over the grave. The troops were then re-formed, and marched to their quarters. The band did not play returning, au order being issued to this effect.

T E N B Y. SAUNDERSFooT.-On Monday morning a meeting of the British School Committee was held at the Reading Room, C. E. Vickermap, Esq, in the chair. The con- tracts with the tmilder, Mr J. Thomas, were signed and we ddv8 every Reason to expect that the school will finished by Ladyday next.

The executants were Mrs and Miss Allen, Mrs Onslow, Miss Jackson, Miss F.|Hughesf Messrs T. and H. Allen: the Rev G. Hunting- ton read. A very pleasing programme was very efficiently gone through, and a vote of thanks offered to the ladies and gentlemen and warmly accorded showed the pleasure the audience had received. SAUNDERSFOOT READING- ROOM.—A quarterly meeting of the Saundersfoot Reading Room Committee was held at the room on Monday last, when the Treasurer's ac- counts were past. We are happy to state that the funds of the society are in a flourishing condition, a balance of between £4 and jgo remaining in the treasurer's hands. The present newspapers and periodicals taken by the I society are The Timts, Shipping Gazette, Daily News, Evening Standard, Illustrated London News, Punch, Mac- millan, Temple Bar, St. J~anl's, V?ice a Week, Chambqrs's Journal, Leisure Hour, Good Words, Sunday at llome, I besides the local papers. We congratulate the members on the flourishing state of their finanoes, and hope their prosperity will continue. WORIUNGMKN'S CLUB,—The eighth HALF-Y^Wy report of the Workingmen's Club has just been issuSpwhereby we learn that the balance sheet of the society shows tl I Is lid in hand. The total subscriptions from mem- bers amounted to £1.0 7s 2d: a smaller number than usual, to be partly accounted for by the unusual fineness of the Season, which has made out-door, rather than in-door, recreation popular with working men. Miss Smedley, with her usual munificence, has given a donation for the purpose of affiliating the club with the London Workingmen's Club and Institution Union, enabling the Tenby club to obtain from the Institution every three months a box of books for the use of members. The re- port further thanks Miss Smedley, and the Rev Geo:ge Huntington, for presents of books. It also invites any person who has leisure to give lectures on popular or instructive subjects. We are glad to bear that there is every hope of the Winter Season of this society being as entertaining as that of last winter.

QUARTERLY MEETING OF THE CARMARTHEN BOARD OF COASRVATOKS.—The quarterly meeting of the Board of Conservators for the Carmarthen Bay District was held on Wednesday in the Council Chamber, at the Shire Hall, Carmai then, when the following gentlemen were present :—T. R. O. Toweii, (thaiiroan), J. Bagnall, Esq, J. Hughes, Esq, and Dr. Lewis Carmar- then C. Morgan, E-q, Alltygog; J. Bsynon, jun., E'.q, Trewern W. H. Yelverton, Esq, Capt. Phillips, H.uod- neJdin, and J. Chivers, Esq, Kidwelly. The business transacted was very trifiing, and consisted mainly ia passing the quarterly accounts. From a statement made by the Clerk, it appeared that the Board will have a balance in hand ot over A70, after paying the bills. Several of the Conservators remitrked upon the amount of money expended in preserving theLoughor, while'not a single Glamorganshire gentleman attended the meeting of the Board. Charles Morgan, E-iq., recommended that additional water-bailiffs should be employed. He was willing himself to subscribe R5 for that purpose, and several of the gentlemen to whom he had spoken had offered to do the same. He believed they would have no difficulty in obtaing £ 100. in that way if required. J. .Hughes, Esq, passed some observations on the conduct of some of the under water-bailiffs who had been'in the habit of getting drunk, and who had been dismissed, and moved that the head water bailiff should have full power to dismiss any ander bailiff for inefficiency and nejileot of his duty. The motion was carried unanimously, J.Hughes, Esq, likewise moved that an additional sum of £10 be granted to the head water-bailiff to provide additional aid in preserving the rivers. The motion was unani- mously agreed to. On the motion-of Dr. Lewis, it was resolved that the head water builiff should enter reports of his visits to various distircts in a book speoially pro- vided. The motion was unanimously carried. This concluded the business. CAKMAKTHENSHIUE.—Mr Sartoris is in difficulties He might have known it was impossible to serve two mas- ters. The feat has been tried over and over again, and it has always failed. In a moment of weakness or self- confidence, he entered upon the uncertain domains of philosophy, became perplexed in his own mind, and conveyed to his bearers the impression which be protests was never intended. But the plain sense of the Welsh. electors will not admit there was any deception. They say that Mr Sartoris has been represented to them as an anti-state Churchman, and when he discussed the prin- ciple of a State Church, whether in Ireland, or England, or Wales, they believed he was opposed to an established and endowed Church, and would, if sent to Parliament, act up to his convictions. His letter to Mr Johnes has therefore put him into a now position, and he will find that a large number of his supporters have deserted him. We have been inundated with letters on the subject from both, sides- Some of them we publish, that our readers may judge for themselves what mischief that unfortunate Lampeter affair has done to the Liberal cause, as repre- sented by Mr Sartoris. His chances of success were never worth much, but no one could have supposed they would so soon have reached the low point at which we now find them. Mr Pugh has improved during the week, having had an accession of votes from the dis- affected supporters of Mr Sartoris. The returns shown us place him very low on the poll. Mr Puxley and Mr Jones stand far above the other two candidatos, and it is expected they will be returned by a large majority. In- deed, we have seen returns fjom nearly e'!ery district ia the county, and in all of them, except Llanelly, they stand first a long way, and in Llanelly the votes will be about equally divided between the two Conservatives and Mr Sartoris.—

Mr J. Phillips: Look at your paper: all this] goes to the winds. Mr Whicber Davies: This has to do with the Matter: it is not to be shuffled off in this way. Mr J. Pbillips I consider it very ungentlemanly on your part to make such remarks. Mr Whicher Davies: Your brother George knows the same thing, and you know it. Mr J. Phillips It is very ungentlemanly to re- flect upon any alderman in the way you have done. Mr Whicber Davies: Your brother George knows, and you too, that it was done. Mr J. Phillips: Tush, tush. Mayor I must have order. Mr H. Phillips: I think Mr James Phillips is father personal: I was a member of the Town Council lorg before be was, and open voting it was always. I can demand it. Mr James Phillips I am perfectly willing there should be open voting. Mayor 1 have allowed this discussion to go on, btuf in my opinion the Council have no power to make an order in this mater. The presiding al. derman a £ <3 assessori are presumed to know what their duties are, and it is presumed they will do their duty faWy and impartially. I don't think J'ou have any right to say to them that they should do it in this way or the other. This dis- suasion is irregular, and J think it is scarcely within the province of the Council to say in what way the election is to be conducted. Mr Whicher Davies Are we prepared to stand a quo warranto ? If we do not have fair and honest Noting, a candidate may complain, and we may have a quo warranto issued against us; Mayor: The scene just enacted almost put it 0111 of my power to say what I was going to say. (Laughter ) I should wish to make this remark as I possibly may Dot have an opportunity of ad- dressing you again, I desire to express my sense of the courtesy and support I have experienced during the time I have bad the honour of filling this chair. On the part of the gentlemen of this council, I have received the greatest support from both sides, whatever difference of opinion existed Among the members of the Council, except per- haps the little scene which has just been enacted. '('Laughter.) Mr Whicher Davies: Your Worship will have I An opportunity of addressing us on the 9th of November and after that too. c' The meeting then terminated. ROOSE PETTY SESSIONS. These sessions were held at the Shire Hall, on Satur- day, before A. B. Starbuck, Esq, T. Roberts, Esq, J. P. •ones, E»q, and Rev P. Phelps, CHARGE OF MUTILATING A SHEBP. John Wilcochs was charged with mutilating a sheep. A letter was forwarded to the Bench by the defendant, In which he staled that he had cut the ear of the sheep *ith the intention of marking it in a manner to enable him to recognize it. Mr Phelps said that if every one who marked a sheep V slitting its ear were proceeded against, nearly every former in the county would be summoned. On the fountains where the sheep of several owners were de. Pastured, it was impossible for people to'recognize their OWl) animals unless they were marked in some manner. Aiter some conversation, The Bench adjourned the case for a fortnight. DRUNKENNESS, John Ev ins and Thomas Phillips were severally charged £ th drunkenness, and were each fined 5s and costs. HAVERFORDWEST PETTY SESSIONS. These sessions were held at the Shire Hall, on Thurs. day, before T. Rule Owen, Esq, and James Bowen, Esq. ILL TREATING A DONKEY. James Howell Ambrey was charged with ill-treating a d nkey, by beating it with a branch of a tree on the 22nd of September, The defendant pleaded guilty, stating that there was a drove of cattle in the road, and the donkey could not be got to move. He boat it to get it and a boy, who was With it, out of the way. The Bench said the offence should not be regarded as a light one, for the man who would iil-treat animals W'ouSd be cruel in his treatment of human beings. This VWas the defendant's first offence, and they inflicted the It iall penalty of 5s with costs, in the hope that he would be again guilty of a similar offence. DRUNKENNESS. evening, there was a dinner party at WilliamstM. con- sisting chiefly of the nearest connexions of the family, who were living within reach. At eight o'clock Mrs Scourfitld and the guests went by carr'jg^ to i: Newton Mountain, the site of the parish ^jjifire. It was placed near tbe Cricket ground, on tb" highest part of the plain, and must ha*»» been seeti^om a great, dis- j; tance. All the tena»*' farmers"'had bee.*i)usy for 4-» couple of days cart' .g materials for the im( iu spite j f the unfavourah' weather, and some ^Vners o$5 T'OF parishioners JCQ as Mr Richards. li'.lVaid Mr) Williams. ^arn'.ake, cheerfully assisted. In oouseqnence of the heavy rains that had. i llpn, and the strength of the wind, the tar byn l? on the high stage were not fired successful!?, which defr/toted some- what from the grandeur of '.he fire, and disappointed the hopes of those who had spent so much labour on the work. But all were disposed to be in good humour. The firewoiks, under the charge of Mr Lloyd, of Burton, Mr Griffiths, of Houghton, and Mr Lucas, were a great source of pleasure to both young and old, but oc- casionally also a source of terror to the softer sex. All wtre fortnsatelv fired without accident. The Roman Candles and Rockets were, some of them, very beautiful, and the latter attained a great height. When the guests from Williamston were on the ground, there were many bursts of hearty cheering, and some speeches complimentary to the old and young squire. The large crowd of people, estimated at 700 or 800, were orderly and well conducted throughout the evening and the day will be long remembered by the parishioners. UNIVERSITY IMTELLIGJ'SCB.—The Rev James A. Owen, late student of Chrh^qt'burch, Oxford, has been elected a fellow of Univerfc, College,
