BLAINA. PRESENTATION OF A TESTIMONIAL TO A CLERGYMAN. — We have pleasure in mentioning that the Blaina church congregation have manifested their esteem for their late curate, the Rev. David Morgan, who has recently re- linquished the duties which had been assigned to him, and which for nearly five years he discharged with so much credit to himself, and satisfaction to the people, to com- mence his stated ministry as Curate of St. David's, Merthyr Tydfil. On Friday last, the 14th instant, a depu- tation composed of the following gentlemen Frederick Levick, jun., Esq., Joseph Hinton, Esq., surgeon to the Blaina iron works, and Messrs. Henry Gould, Richard Anthony, Colin Dunlop and Benjamin Evans-met their late pastor and friend at the residence of his brother, the Rev. J. W. Morgan, incumbent of Beaufort, to present him with a testimonial of their regard and esteem. It consisted of an address beautifully written on vellum, and couched in the most affectionate language, to which w 8 appended a long list of the names of subscribers this was accompanied with a very rich and costly gown and scarf an exceedingly chaste pocket silver communion service' for visiting the sick, the plate bearing underneath an appropriate inscription, and a purse. The address was most emphatically and feelingly read by Mr. Hinton, who after a few kind remarks, presented the testimonial to the rev. gentleman, who with judicious and feeling observa- tions, acknowledged the kindness of his friends The depu- tation and a few other friends, after having been hos- pitably entertained by the Incumbent of Beaufort, re- turned to their respective homes highly pleased with the resnlfc of their very interesting mission. We congratulate Mr. Morgan, and v ish him every happiness and success in his new sphere of labour. DREADFUL ACCIDENT.—Many of the inhabitants of this place were thrown into a state of great excitement, on Saturday last, in consequence of a rumour that a child had been ournt to death, in the Coke Ovens, situated near the British School rooms. Unfortunately the report proved too true. From the evidence of a lad, who was near the spot, it appears that several children had got to- gether at the ovens, to procure warmth, when the unfor- tunate deceased, whose name is John Warren, aged 8 or 9 years, got upon the top of the ovens, and, heedless of the danger, must have stumbled and fell into the fiery vortex beneath him, and from which the ovens receive their supply of fuel. Every method that could be devised was used to recover, if possible, the body from being totally consumed but so intense was the heat, that the limbs of the unfortunate boy were severed from the body in extri- cating it. At the inquest a verdict of accidental death" was returned. BLAINA INN PETTY SESSIONS. Magistrates present: Capt. G. Homfray and Tom LI. Brewer, Esq.
