PUBLIC SPIRIT.
PUBLIC SPIRIT. TO TliE RDITOIZ OF THE MY DA3. Sin,—In the PRINCIPALITY last week I had the pleasure of reading a letter from ail Old Student respecting Pontypcol College. I look upon the proposal as one that is likely to meet general approbation, and one that will prove beneficial to the institution. If I could be within a reasonable distance I certainly should he very happy to make one of the party. But there tray be a few objections made to the pro- posal L-, us obviate anything of that nature in the onset. Some may look upon it as a wee bit of exelasiveness for old students .done to meet together, therefore I would propose an amendment. Let the meeting be open for all the friends of the acsvdemy. Some may say that to have a public breakfast would be a useless expenditure of money many cannot afford to spend money uselessly. True therefore let those that will manage the business see that a poor brother is not oppressed with <:> a useless burden. A plain, homely, frugal meal may be had at a I cl cheap rate. It pains me to witness the exclusiveness, the ban- quettings, and the expenditure of parties at some meetings amongst our friends the other side of the Severn. Let us im- port all that is good amongst them, and it would do them no barm if they were to receive some of our exports. The want of time to attend to these things is certainly to be considered. I wish we could have more time in all our public meetings to transact all business. I am not one of those that would do away with a good deal of our public preaching for -the sake of having time for business. Ko, no, let us keep up the public spirit for preaching the Gospel. It is this that can interest a multitude of sinners. Associations have done good Service in Wales; let us not yield to the spirit of innovation, but keep up our good old customs. If any one wishes to see that starving thing, an association without mach preaching, let him go to England to witness it for once, and then he will return exclaiming, "Hail, happy Wales!" We must have ime for both business and preaching. May all that is good keep our associations from dwindling down into small commit- tees for business Now, Mr. Editor, as I am cm the track of public things, permit me to drop a word to your dear self and to the Noncon- formists of Wales. I am anxious to see the PRINCIPALITY well supported and circulated through the length and breadth of U walia. It is not at once that a paper can be established, nor is it an easy task to suit the varied and multitudinous tastes efn large circle of readers. Some will complain that you are you cannot escape this, but if you will hold the scale with a firm hand, a stern mind, and with a blind-like justice to the interests of all, you will be able to smile at all com- plaints. Many in those parts distant from Cardiff complain that you have too many police reports in yoitr paper. You must admit that these things are of no utility to those of your re ders who reside a hundred miles from Cardiff. The PltlN- ,c,ii Ai.iTy should be tilled, if possible, with subjects that suit mui as mau- \Yebhmen, Nonconformists, all Wales—without regard to sjet, party, or locality. Try the plan, and shame to f if it does not succeed. Some will say, We hare plenty of Welsh periodicals." There is some show of reason in this, but I think that few will •deny the necessity of one English newspaper amongst us. I wish all success to Welsh periodicals, and I think certainly that t'ie circulation of the Welsh monthlies should be double «r treb e of wnatit is. Hundreds of families are found without one miscellany of general and religious knowledge, and yet these are the most 1 kely folk in the wolrll to cornpl .in about the muititude of books forced upon thorn." I have known same of them well, and found them quite satisfied with one publication, the ,pe,:wy-a-ye«r Association Letter I rec >ilect one of this plaguy fraternity who would say, when any go d friend would ask him to buy a book, 0 no, no, I have an old Bible •\ hero which is enough for me-a good, dear old Bible it is That 01.1 miser died a few years ago, and left cattle, sheep, money, an 1 lands, to others and now there is not one to put a stone down to mark the spot where his wretched remains lie. But I pay but very little attention to the brotherhood or sis- t':fho.)d that complains of too many books, for I always find they have ouly a very few, on a very small shelf, covered with a profusion of dust, and those few eery, VERY seldom read One thing more, and then I shall have done for this time. ilany have, complained that the PRINCIPALITY has been filled « up with too many things of a personal nature. It must be ad- mitted that it is difficult for an editor to tell his friend, Your fummumuation is not admissible." But in this case, Mr. Edi- tor, I most sincerely hope that you will make a giant-like stand against the admission of personal debates, and admit IUfhing but things of a public nature. How painful it is to an iadividual who has a tinge of a liberal mind to see some one under a fictitious name doing all he can to wound the feelings. it not, to injurs tho private and public character of another. It is not enough, Mr. Editor, for you to inform your readers that you have the name of the individual in confidence. No, it is giving too much to you. Take not the responsibility upon you if asny one wants to show fight, let us have it in the open field. Let us see him. Taw el or Hush is not lower in the scale of being than the man who will hide himself in a bush for the sike of escaping with impunity when he flings his mUsiles at Shi. vmsuspectiug. Yolii-s, B. PlilCE (Cymro Bach).
T 111", WAR IN I N D I A,
T 111", WAR IN I N D I A, THE VICTORY OF GOOJERAT. We have received by express from Marseilles despatches iu advance of the overland mail, which left Bombay on the ,17th ult. They contain full particulars of the decisive Nik-tory achieved over the Sikhs on the 21st of February last, a brief announcement of which arrived by the last i!iili I. On this occasion no doubt need be entertained of the decisive character of the success, the enemy having been tomplutely routed with the loss of his guns, ammunition, and camp equipage. Lord Gough's army, which amounted to nearly 25,000 men with 10') guns, encamped on the 20th in order of battle within four miles of the enemy, whose force was estimated at 60,000 men with 60 guns/ They occupied the ground a roan i the village of Guojerat, in a position as well chosen as tha nature of the country permitted. The British army moved to the attack early in the morning of the ht, in a line nearly three miles from right left. The action began with a heavy cannonade, in which •var artillery, which was/admirably served, did such execu- tion that the enemy's guns were speedily silenced. The infantry then advanced, driving the Sikhs before them in the utmost confusion: the cavalry division was sent in 'Hn'I..ít, and iuing upon the rear of tho flying enemy until ». uight prevented further operations. Of the' 60 guns which the Sikhs brought into action, 53 were captured, with an tfuormous amount of ammunition, and the rest have, doubt- less, been since takon by the corps detached in pursuit. Nor was this really decisive victory purchased by the terri hle loss of lite which has rendered Lord Gough's previous battles a source of mourning rather than of triumph. The Kritish army has to lament 5 officers and 92 men killed, And 21 officers and G81 men wounded. Oa the day after the action General Gilbert, with a force vf 12,000 Then, was despatched towards the Sheliiiii, to s«Liea«d occupy Rhotas, Attoek, Peshawur, and the whole frontier up to the passes of Afghanistan. Ito ei-oised the J.ieltiin on the 28th, and took possession of the town of that Jlaiue, with some mortars and ammunition which had been Abandoned by the recreating; army on that day. Hie ud- -vufcs from Gciieral Gilbert's corps reach to the 2nd of March, at which date they had been compelled to halt on from Gciieral Gilbert's corps reach to the 211d of March, at which date they had been compelled to halt on I hair advance tp ilhotas by the extreme inclemency of he weather. A report had, however, been received that e ..ad to fc'.fu possessio i oi Khotas. fae'principal oUjects of the campaign being thus achieved, it was expected that the inuia army under Lord Gough into Chir advices from the Commander-in-Chief's camp are to t 3rd of March, on which day Lord Güug-h reviewed aud {•inspected the whole of tlio troops. Permission to return to t.sir appointment had been already given to several staff •wtficess. There seems, indeed, every reason to believe that the Sikikchiel, who have twice sent Major Xjawrence to treat for them, will submit to the on y terms which have been conceded to titein -,tii unconditional surrender. It was said that Lord Gough. had sent in his resignation. No decision had, it was understood, been arrived at as to she ann xation of the Punjab. India generally 'was tranquil and contented. Scinde was' free from any apprehension either of rebellion or foreign attack, and the garrison left at Mooltaii remained unmo- lested. Sir J. Littler had been appointed President of the Council cf India and Deputy-Governor of Bengal iu the room of Sir T. H. Maddock, wiiohftd retired.
HAVERFORDWEST.
HAVERFORDWEST. A VKTF.RAX BKIDEBR om.-Oti Thursday, the 5th instant, no less a person than Mr. nobin Hood, "the hero of a hund.-fdHghts," led to the hymeneal alttlr a blooming ltl of some 20 years or thereabouts. This veteran, who is now 70 years of age, has fought in the several ha tt lcs of Salamanca, Badajos, Corunna, and Wa- terloo (in the latter place he was wounded, and for which he has a pension), and is never so happy as when fighting his^battles oser again." We wish him many years of happiness with his bride. NORMAL COLI.EGrOR WAL.Of) Sunday, .week sermons were preached iu the Dissenting chapels of this town, on behalf of the college about to be erected at Swansea, for the.■. training of schoolmasters, and oh Monday evening a pubhcmeetiag-waöheld. The chair was taken by Win. Owen, Esq. The Kevs. D. Rees, of Llanelly, J. G. Avery, of Neath, and D. Evans, of Swansea, attended as a deputation of the managing committee, and. ad- dressed the meeting, showing the necessity which existed for the diffusion of education in Wales, and the establishment of a training college for masters. The Rev. D. Rees defended the resolution taken by the promoters of the college to repudiate Government assistance, and urged several arguments to show the efficiency and superior value of the voluntary principle as a means for the spread of education throughout the country. A collection was made at the close of the meeting, and we understand the subscriptions ob- tained by the deputation last week amounted to about £ 100. 0:-1 Monday evening last, a lecture was delivered by Mr. Fitz- maurice Okeden, C.E., to the members of the Haverfordwest Literary and Scientific Institution, in the Shire-hall, on The Air." In treating uf this interesting subject, Mr. Okeden divided it into three general heads, namely, the essential properties, the constituents, and the genera! properties and uses of air. The essential properties noticed were those of extension, inertia, im- penetrability, weight, compressibility, and elasticity. lu speaking of the constituents of the air, the lecturer said they comprised oxy- gen, nitrogen, and carbonic acid gas, in the proportion of nearly- four-fift iis of nitrogen to one-fifth of oxygen, and about oae-tenth per cent. of carbonic acid g is. He then described the various pro perties and uses of those gases, and showed how were, in the proportions in which they existed in the atmosphere, to the production and sustentation of animal and vegetable-life. Under the last division, namely, the general properties and-uses of the air, Mr. Okeden principally noticed and explained: the exists ence of the atmospheric pressure, its application in hydraulics, the necessity of air to the production of sound, and its value in con- ducting operations under water by means of the diving bell. The lecture was illustrated and rendered increasingly interesting and useful, by a series of beautiful and most successful experiments with the air-pump, and other-apparatus. At the conclusion, a vote of thanks to Mr. Okeden was moved by John Henry Pnilipps, Esq., in a highly complimentary address, and seconded by Wm. Waters, Eq., and carried by acclamation. A CONCERT for the benefit of Mr. Baillieu, under the patronage of several ladies of the first rank, both in the town of Haverford- west and the county of Pembroke, was held at the Town-hail, on Tuesday evening last.
