POLICE COURT. SATURDAY.—Before C. H. WILLIAMS, Esq., WM. WILLIAMS, Esq., and H. M. KENNARD, Esq. AFFILIATION CASE. Sarah Carpenter summoned Wm. Jones to show cause why he should not contribute toward the support of her illegitimate child. Mr. Owen appeared for defendant. The parties had been servants at the farm of Mr. Ridley, Pontypool.The evidence not being sufficient to fix the paternity upon defendant, the Bench dismissed the summons ordering complainant to pay expenses, amounting to 8s. 6d. AsSAULTS.-Tlwntas Hughes was fin'ed 20s., for beat- ing a lad named James Newman, in Pontypool, on the 21st inst.

"-Iokn Griffiths was charged with stealing a purse containing Xi. 10s., the property of John Moses, of Trosnant. It appeared that the pri- soner and complainant had been drinking together at tbe Winlling Horse in. this town, when the latter fell asleep, and on awaking some time afterwards, found his pocket turned inside out, and his purse gone. Mary Knapton and Anne Ilillier, servants W- the above place, stated that prisoner on being told that complain- ant had been robbed, replied All right, here's his purse," at the same time producing a yellow purse which he afterwards put into his side pocket.P.C. Young deposed to apprehending prisoner, who denied having stolen the money, alleging that complainant had lent him .Prisoner, in defence, said he was drunk at the time, and knew nothing about the money.The Bench committed him for trial at the forthcoming

Sessions. THE CHRISTMAS SHOW OF MEAT, &c. s The various tradesmen of out town whose businesses lead them more especially to provide the good things of this life for the public at large, were not behind- "^nd this year in making their accustomed displays of "ture comforts, so essential to Christmas merry- ing. Most of the shop-windows of the grocery dishments underwent a complete metamorphosis the week, by divers piles of currants, raisins, ler well-known etceteras pertaining to the plum fig, being exposed to the gaze of passers-by; the butchers' shops gave abundant proof that substantial provision had been made "to please alate and delight the eye." ave you seen Mr. Prosser's show?" was the enquiry of several on Friday last, and on proceed- the well-known shop of our enterprising trades- io l make a note of observation, we found the leading to it literally beseiged by a crowd of all busily engaged in discussing the relative ■ the "Prince Consort's" and the Squire's," Mng the excellencies of other portions of the show. The front of the house was decorated ;ergreens, and a long row of prime Welsh Its entire length, llanked on de with the gaily trimmed heads of the slaugh- „asts, whose huge quarters lined the interior of <p the whole being- illuminated with a number ets, produced a very striking effect. The dis- \kell as a whole, was one of the best ever wit- in Pontypool; and it was the opinion of several ent judges, that its equal, either as regards quan- quality, was not to be found in Monmouth.. and very few to surpass it outside the county. fout entering largely into the merits of this or that iular beast, we will just enumerate the principal |ons of the exhibition, by commencing with the l" ox, which had been slaughtered by, Mr. ?. It was a noble specimen of the Hereford ,f cattle, 4 years 2 months old, bred by Mr. Thos. ids, Wintercott, Leominster, and fed by his Royal ness the Prince Consort; and was highly com- ed" by the judges at the recent Snuthfield ib Cattle Show. Next in order comes a couple of nort-horn steers, bred and fed by Capel Hanbury Leigh, Esq., which was the admiration of all beholders, the'one hanging entire outside the shop giving rise to sundry debates as to whether it was not equal in aspect of quality to the first-named beast. We must leave those who were fortunate enough to dine off it, to solve this problem, but would take occasion to point out this fact, as speaking much in favour of home feed- ling. Numerous mottoes, &c., were appended to the imeat in different parts of the shop, one in particular | written on a card, and affixed to the beast just named, (being peculiarly suggestive. A dog's head was em- bossed upon it, and the reading was as follows i John Hull's dog to Louis Napoleon-.— Master's compliments; and will you come and pick a bone with us at Glu'istmas ? Motto for Rifle Corps Clothiers .-—No matter what colour the cloth is so as the beef be right.— Vide Snook's Memoirs. On another card appeared the following :— Our best protection is the roast beef of Old England. A.nd on a prime Welsh wether, bred and fed by Mr. j Thos. James, Ty Cook farm, this verse was affixed :— This lotther has weather'd the storm, j And in all sorts of weather did bleat; ] Pray now just look at its form, | And say whether it isn't complete. The remainder of the show included six Hereford < heifers bred and fed by Mr. Edward Powell, Coalbrook; Mr. (ieorge Powell, Oak farm; Mr. Henry Williams, Rook farm; two Scotch oxen bred and fed by Mr. Geo. Fothergill, Pontnewynydd; and 2 fine Hereford beasts, f bred and fed by Mr. E. Mprgan, Pye Corner; a calf, bred by Mr. Thomas James; and about 75 sheep, I ohiofe Welsh wethers, (but including Lord Llanover's Lei festers, and some English sheep, bought of fit* cd'Jaxlle, Lancayo, and Mr. Williams, The Rock), bred and fed by the following persons:—Mr. David Jones, Graigddu Farm Mr. Williams, Gyllonedd; Mr. G. Fothergill, and Mr. George, Newbridge. Four prime porkers, bred and fed by Mr. Neale, Red House, and Mr. Cadle, Llancayo, completed the show. "lVe come now to the shop of Mr. Edwin Pullin, to whom great credit is due for the admirable character of his show, which, though not quite so extensive, vied with his neighbour's in many other respects. The premises were trimmed with evergeens, and a great deal of notice was excited by the initials, E. P. being lit up with oil lamps, and placed in the centre of two large ifreaths, reflecting a bright light upon the spectators. Everything was laid out with a due regard to effect, whilst the meat could not fail to recommend itself to the notice of all lovers of the good old English Christ- mas fare. The mutton deservedly received especial commendation, no other place in the town exhibiting anything superior to it. The splendid prize Hereford <jow, exhibited at Newport, and bred and fed by Mr. jfvans, Llandowlas, was a model of perfection, and *hen cut up, its "marbled beauty" was the subject general praise. Some other beasts were slaughtered c) ■d contributed to the effect produced; among them exceedingly prime Hereford heifer, bred by Mr. ratkins, Longtown; a fat cow, bred and fed by C. 1 "ries Esq., Abergavenny; and a prime Hereford ;er, 4 years did, bred by Mr. Edwards, Llanarth. ^ong the sheep we observed a number of yearling Aiester wethers which had been bought of Mr. Mor- Raglan; some ditto, bred and fed by Mr Tippins, \urt-Robert farm, near Raglan and a prime lot of wethers and ewes, fed by C. Davies, Esq., v John Francis, Newbridge, Monmouthshire. d porker was also shown, and was as described, Mnese Prodigy," bred and fed by Mr. James Capel-Llwyd. iop of Mr. Twissell, Blueboar-fields, there (i display of meat, including a very fine beast, ,fed by Mr. Crump, of Usk, and some capital •ge-street, Mr. Buniell, pork-butcher, exhi- excellent meat, the principal object of attrac- i tion being a tremendous fat pig, weighing 36 score, which was bred and fed by Mr. Charles Coleman, Prioress Mill, near Usk. The remainder of the show comprised amongst others, three prime pigs, bred and fed by C. H. Leigh, Esq.; a couple by Lady Llanover; and twelve others bred and fed by Mr. J. Haycock, Graigolway, near Usk. The majority of the market butchers had also pro- vided a goodly share of Christmas fare for their cus- tomers. The quality was everything that could be desired, as the following passing notice will show :— The stall of Mr. David Eley exhibited two remarkably prime Hereford beasts, bred and fed by Mr. Don, of Usk; six sheep of first-rate quality, and which carried off a prize at the Newport cattle show a calf, bred by Mr. Edwards, Llanarth a few wethers, bred and fed by Mr. Williams, Llanarth and two pretty porkers. Mrs. Rudge showed two very fine beasts, and one or two good sheep. Mr. Lloyd killed a capital beast, which had been bred and fed by Mr. Wm. Morgan, Court Pleddin, near Usk; and among the display of excellent mutton, a chilver, weighing upwards of 801bs., was conspicuous. Mr. Wm. Barnett had a very fine beast, 4 years old, bred by Mr. Jones, Pantygassig. Mr. H. R. Jenkins's show included a prime beast, bred and fed by Mr. John Ruton, Caerleon, and some superior wether mutton. The shambles of Mr. Thos. Vezey were set out with the quarters of three fine beasts, "bred and fed by Mr. Jenkins, Bishon; one calf, bred and fed by Mr. Conway James, Pontnewydd; two porkers, bred and fed by the same gentleman; six sheep, bred and fed by Mr. Wm. Rees, Llanfrechfa; three porkers bred by Mr. Jones, Llantarnam; and a fat wether sheep, fed by Mr. Henry Jones, Llanddewy. Mr. Charles Hill, exhibited a very fine bullock, and some capital mutton. Mrs. Lloyd had a good beast quartered; three Welsh wethers, and one porker. Mr. Lewis Lewis's show consisted of a prime beast, bred and fed by Mr. Morgan, Court Pleddin; ten Welsh wethers, bred and fed by the Rev. J. Rogers, Seven Dials farm, Llantarnam; and one fat English wether. Mrs. Maggs showed two beasts and 9 Welsh wethers. Mr. Thomas Whitmore slaughtered two famous beasts, one bred and fed by Mr. Evans, Llandowlas, and the other by Mr. John Hale, Pill farm; also, 20 fine English wethers. The display of Mr. Wm. Nash included a prime beast, five Welsh wethers, and two fat chilvers. Mr. John Twissell had a fine heifer, bred by Mr. Crump six wethers bred and fed by Mr. Williams, of Llanhilleth and two porkers. Messrs. Robert and Alfred Pullin showed 4 Welsh wethers, and 4 English sheep; three well-fed beasts, one of which was exhibited at the Newport cattle show.

Williams showed two fat beasts, bred and fed by Mr. Richard Miles, Little Mill; also, 4 sheep, and one calf. THE POULTRY MARKET.—The exhibition of the feathered tribe was rather extensive, turkeys, geese, and ducks being arranged with scrupulous care, and jealously guarded by the fair vendors. The high prices asked, materially limited the sale, a large portion of the poultry remaining till a late hour, and was evenT tually taken home unsold. The following are a few a -fcht?" principal exliitrtttws Btmrl farm, six turkeys and twelve geese Mrs. Morgan, The Hill, Glascoed, a very fine show of turkeys and ducks Miss Langley, Arch farm, Usk; Miss Williams, Wern- dee; Miss James, Llangiview; Mrs. Jenkins, Glas- coed, &c., &c.

COLLIERY AcCIDEXT.-On Tuesday, a man named Wm. Belcher met with an accident resulting from a fall of earth, in Habbakkuk's level, Cwmnant- ddu. He was completely covered, with the exception of his head, but an alarm being given, he was promptly rescued by his fellow workmen, and conveyed home. but beyond a few bruises, he was not materially injured. ALAIUIIXG ACCIDENT AND REMARKABLE ESCAPE. -On Saturday evening, the son of Mr. John Powell, haulier, George-street, was driving a woman and two boys in a covered car, which also contained the corpse of a person from the Abergavenny Lunatic Asylum, when, on reaching Garndiffaith, he was directed to turn up a narrow lane in which a precipice bad to be passed, on reaching which, the car upset, and becoming de- tached from the horse, rolled over a distance of thirty yards, and was broken to atoms. The coffin also was smashed, so that a new one was requisite; but the woman and boys, as well as the horse, fortunately escaped with little injury. GAME SUPPER.—Mr. Beacham's annual game supper was held on Thursday week, at his new hostelry, the Montague Hotel, and was attended by upwards of sixty gentlemen, Mr. Edward Edwards ably filling the chair, and Mr. Luce officiating as vice. The supper comprised three brace of pheasants, three brace of partridges, two couples of woodcocks, three hares, fowls, tongues and hams, puddings, custards, jellies, &c., to which ample justice was done. The cloth hav- ing been removed, toasts and songs succeeded, and a most delightful evening was spent. Very great praise was given to the worthy host and hostess, who were in- i defatigable in promoting the comfort of their guests. MOUNT PLEASANT CHAPEL.-The annual tea party at the above place of worship on Monday, when a large company sat down, and were highly pleased with the provisions and arrangements. After tea, Morgan John, Esq., was voted to the chair, and opened the proceedings with a very entertaining speech, in the course of which he said that Providence had blessed him with wealth and a heart to give freely to the cause of God, and the more he gave, the more he received. The following gentlemen then delivered, in succession, able and impressive addresses on the subjects appended Rev. D. Davies, Sardis Chapel, Varteg, on The pro- minent features of the age, namely, reading and think- ing Rev. JohnM. Thomas, of Siloh Chapel, Abersy- chan, on The excellency of general sympathy in the church;" Rev. D.Williams, of Berea Chapel, Blaina, on The necessity of co-operation with the Cause," (which he illustrated by some telling anecdotes;) the Rev. John Hopkins, of "Elim chapeL, Cwmbran, on Union among Christians is their strength;" and finally the Rev. Herbert Daniel, (minister of the chapel), on The efficiency of the voluntary system to sustain God's cause in the world," one argument which he advanced in proof of his position being that he and the church under his care (all of them being of the working class with the exception of his liberal friend in the chair), had been enabled to pay off Y,800 out of £ 1400, the original debt, during the last four years, and he trusted that the'same system would enable them to payoff the residue before many years elapsed. The choir of singers went through their respective parts in a praiseworthy manner, and a vote of thanks having been given to the worthy chairman, and feelingly acknowledged, the meeting closed with the doxology. On the following evening the Sunday school children and their teachers were entertained with tea and cake in the vestry of the chapel, when several pieces were rehearsed. The meeting closed with an appropriate address by the Rev. minister, and with prayer.

USE.—CONCERT.—The concert for the be- nefit of the Mechanics' Institute, announced last week in the Free Press, took place on Tuesdai, evening at the Writing School, which was tastefully decorated for the occasion. The audience was numerous and hiirhlv re- spectable. Mr. Wall presided at the piano, and the entertainment gave general satisfaction, notwithstand- ing the unavoidable absence of Mr. Nash, of Lydney, whose place was capitally filled by F. Greatwood, Esq., who sang Billy Barlow" and other comic song's with immense eclat. TREDEGAR.—The Lord High ChanceHor has been pleased to appoint Horace Shepard, of this place, gentleman, a commissioner for administering oaths in Chancery in England. RIFLE COItFS.-This corps, numbering 107 men. meet daily for drill by two sergeants of the Royal Men- mouth Militia, and do their work well. The" Govern- ment officers have been down inspecting the ground for practice, which is approved of and passed. The rates are also approved of and confirmed. The corps is quite disconnected with the Works, but we understand the managers here and at Ebbw Vale are forming oorps ef their own, so that we shall in time have a good body of men from the Hills ready for any invasion. CL YD A CU.—MURDER OF AWOIIAN SEVENTT YEAXS OF AGE.-Â most painful degree of excitement at present pervades this district, in consequence of the discovery, a few days since, of a woman of the age above-mentioned, with her throat cut in a frightfui manner. She had left her husband, an invalid, in bed in the morning. Upon his rising, however, she was not to be found. He proceeded to the pantrv, but was unable to open the door and upon forcing- aL entrance he found his wife dead on the floor. His cries brought: assistance, and the aid of Mr. Tuckett, surgeon of the works, was obtained. That gentleman, upon an exa- mination of the body, gave it as his opinion that the wpunds upon the throat of the unfortunate deceased had not been inflicted by herself; and subsequently Dr. Lucas, of Crickhowell, stated his coincidence in that opinion. An inquest has been held, and after a lengthy and careful investigation, the jury returned a verdict of Wilful murder against some person or persons un- known." The deceased lived with her husband and a son who is employed in the coal works. The latter left for his work early in the morning, and as the deceased was seen leaning against the mantelpiece by a neigh- bour some time after the son had reached the works, he was entirely exculpated. No clue has yet been dis- covered by the police, the fearful tragedy still remain- ing a profound mystery.

TO CdaRESPOKDENf —— THE "IACO" CHARADE CONTROVERSY.—In reference to this controversy, 11 C A. W." writes thus :The charade sent by la go to the Free Press three weeks ago appeared in the 'Englishwoman's Domestic -AT. in 1854, If I I.-tgo really made the charade, -and is no crow' in borrowed plumes, he should courteously admit having published it a second time. Calling names is nor, pretty, and I lago I cer- tainly should not descend so low." "Another Disciple of ILurman" sends us an excellent poetical defence of temperance as opposed to teetotalism, but as we remember to have seen the lines repeatedly in print, we would prefer something original. Our correspondents will oblige by bearing in mind, as a rule almost without excep- tion, that we decline inserting anything which has previously appeared in print. "Bssie W." has apparently forwarded to us by inadvertency a messasre intended: for a private friend

LLoUoirujj h Pills, a specific for complaints to which femaks are liable. After the experience of many years, it is incontestibJv proved, that there is no medicine equal to Holloway's-Pills" for ilie cure of diseases incidental to females. The invigoratiiis\ and purifying properties of these admirable pills soon produce a sanative revolution in the system. As a medicine for fan;ily. Use, Hollo-way's Pills are unequalled, be- cause. powerfully edicacious as they are in the banishment of disease, they act so gently on the stomach that they may be given with the utmost confidence and perfect safety to young children and delicate females. 1*
