THE efforts being made to retard the approach of war in Europe by mean? of a Congress must command the approval of every friend to hu- ¡ manity, but there is, we regret to say, scarcely any probability that they will produce a mate- rial effect. From all sides we hear of the hur- rying of armies towards the future battle grounds, and three of the European Powers, at least, seem bent upon conflict. They may be induced to pause a short time longer before commencing actual hostilities, but it is unlikely that either will give up the object it has in n -view, or that any arrangement can be made that would prove satisfactory to all parties. Nevertheless, it is right that every means by which war could possibly be prevented should be tried, and it is a matter of congratulation that England should at last have secured the support of the other great neutral Powers in proposing a Congress. To this recommenda- tion the States now threatening each other must at least now give an ear, and if the pre- liminaries can be adjusted, a few days longer may see the Congress actually in session. Each of the parties to the dispute would come to such a meeting with a foregone conclusion, but it would be the part of the others to endeavour to effect a compromise between them. The only basis of such a compromise would be that of territorial compensation," and two or three schemes have been set afloat by which it is thought, a pacific conclusion might even now be effected. Of these schemes the most feasible is that which would surrender Venetia to Italy, and make over the Danubian Princi- palities to Austria in return; and, so far as Italy and Austria are concerned, this might perhaps accomplish the object, if it could be agreed on by the other European Powers. But the difficulty would still remain that something must be done to satisfy Prussia before it would consent to such an arrangement of the dispute. Short of handing over Schleswig-Holstein to its mercies, it is unlikely that any plan would be sufficiently agreeable; and such a gratuitous aggrandisement of Prussia would certainly not meet the approval of the other States repre- sented in the Congress. We cannot, therefore, hope for much from the proposed meeting; all that certainly can zn be gained, is a delay, enabling the combatants to meet on more equal terms. Austria, which is threatened on both sides, is rapidly advan- cing her preparations, and has now between 600,000 and 700,000 men under arms. Of these, 200,000 are in Venetia alone, and large supplies have been forwarded to the Quadri- lateral. Throughout the greater part of the empire the cause is a popular one, and the Government has all the support to be derived from a policy purely defensive. The feeling of the people is set forth by the press in such IJRssages as the following:— "To annihilate Prussia is the only mode of caving this empire from ruin and dismemberment. It is only when Prussia is crushed that Austria can insure that preponderance in Germany which is absolutely indispensable to her existence. Forward, then, brave soldiers forward to Berlin In Prussia the state of public feeling is h exactly the reverse. Meetings have been held in Berlin and other towns of the kingdom, at which the most emphatic resolutions were passed in deprecation of war; and the force of popular opinion has so far made itself felt, that for some weeks past the Government have eeemed much less eager for hostilities than was -the case at first. The conscription ia pressing (severely upon the people, and as, in Prussia, all able-bodied adults are liable for a certain term of military service, men are being with- drawn from all employments to complete the period that may have remained unfulfilled. From our own country many Prussian subjects are hastening away in response to the call upon them, which they must either obey or forfeit the right of citizenship, besides incur- ring severe penalties should they afterwards return to their native land. Various devices are employed by the Prus- sian Ministry to engage the ardour of the peo- ple, but the conviction remains deeply rooted that such a war as that before the nation would be both wanton and unnecessary, and the Government receive no tokens of public support, We learn from Berlin that "the King is resolved, in spite of the remonstrances of the Royal family and his Ministers to take a part in the campaign which is about to com- mence. The Royal tent has been exposed to public view for some days." Even this exhi- bition of the Royal tent, however, has failed to elicit the smallest demonstration of sympathy from the Berlinese. In Italy both Government and people are evidently resolved to obtain Yenetia at any cost. Garibaldi has received the formal ap- pointment of general in the army, and is gathering around him a corps of twenty bat- talions of volunteers. "vVar," he proclaims, "a Voutrance against the foreign oppressor. This is what Italy expects of us." With this feeling existing among the army and the peo- ple, we may learn at any moment that the course of events has been taken entirely out of the reach of a diplomatic congress. z,

BRECON. BOROUGH PETTY SESSIONS. These Sessions were held on Monday last, at the Town Hall, before John Prothero, Esq., (Mayor) George Cansick, and John Williams, Esquires. ASSAULT.—Elizabeth Jones and Thomas Pugh were summoned by Maria Pugh, charged with as- sault and battery. Complainant deposed that Ellizabeth Jones was continually complaining about her ash heap and called her a dirty old cadger that irritated her temper, and she (witness) rose her hand and gave her a smack in the face. Here their worships asked the complainant if it was she that struck the first blow? She said it was.—Their worships at once dismissed the case, and the court adjourned until 4 o'clock. Before the Mayor, Geo. Cansick, Joseph Joseph, Jas. Williams, and John Williams, Esquires. PERJURY.—Richard Evans, Llawrdole, Merthyr Cynog, was charged with having committed wilful and corrupt perjury, by David Davies. defendant in a county court action, on the 23rd March last. Mr. Games prosecuted, and Mr. D. Thomas defen- ded the prisoner. Mr. Games said that he wished to make a few remarks before he called the witnesses, in the matter of David Davies, who prosecuted on behalf of the Queen. The sister of David Davies was not fully employed, and went a" housekeeper to the prisoner Richard Evans, and the prisoner engaged to pay his housekeeper £7 per aiiiiuiii the prisoner said that he had purchased a note, and told Davies that he wanted to pay the first year's wages, and that he had got a person in his employ who could draw it out—a man who wrote a good hand and appeared to draw a note remarkably well. This man, whose name was Isaac Thomas, also witnessed the prisoner signing the note, and he also signed it himself as witness. Shortly afterwards, Mary Davies (who is now deceased) handed the said note to her brother, who afterwards administered, and applied to the prisoner for the amount due up to the time of her death. The prosecutor paid inte- rest for five years, and omitted one year, which made it over six years. Had he known the law, he would not have done so. The note was for 17. The whole amount due was S-27 9s. IOd, The prisoner was sued in the County Court, and the Judge ordered the prisoner to be sworn in Welsh as well as in English, so that there could be no mistake. His Lordship said that it was the most disgraceful case that evef came before him. (Mr. Games here adverted to the opinions of three judges, showing the nature of an oath, as to where an oath was taken for the purpose of misleading the court, or whether it was done for other purpo- ses.) Mr. Games went on to say—What is a man but his oath, and where are the public to be pro- tected but in the courts of justice, and when the public were treated in that way they were not safe. After a long address, he called Daniel Evans, clerk to the registrar of the county court, of Brecon, who deposed that a case was regis- tered on the books for the 23rd of March last, and ordered to be heard by Judge Falconer, by David Davies against Richard Evans, defendant part of the particulars in that case was a promissory note for X7 the defendant was sworn in English on the gospel; the defendant repeatedly denied sign- ing the note produced. Mr. Thomas here objected to the proceedings. After a short discussion, the witness Evans went on to state that he was sworn to interpret Welsh into English; prisoner was sworn in Welsh the Judge asked the prisoner to write his name on a piece of paper (produced); the prisoner said he understood English as well as Welsh when the answers were read to the defendant he said that he heard nothing; the prisoner denied signing the note the Judge said that those papers could be handed over to any person to prosecute. Cross- examined by Mr. Thomas—He did not hear the Judge say "It was of no consequence;" he (wit- ness) said he believed the defendant said "he had signed it if he should have quiet;" it was before Mr. Phillips took down the writing. David Davies, farmer, deposed that his sister resided with him before she went to service with the prisoner; he was present when she was en- gaged the first wages was £4 a year she was in his employ 12 years and 7 months she went to Merthyr Cynog with prisoner and died there he (witness) was her administrator he had some con- versation about the stamp at the prisoner's own house prisoner said he bought it because he had not sufficient money, and brought the note to give his sister; he (witness) asked who was to draw the note; prisoner said Isaac Thomas would draw it well; IsaAc Thomas was the prisoner's tenant at that time about six months, and continued to be about six years he (witness) lent the prisoner mo- ney on promissory notes, and had held as many as four at a tune he only saw the prisoner sign one note they were on friendly terms; he (witness) used to call about twice a day, whenever lie passed; the note produced was signed by the prisoner, Mr. Evans, of Llawrdole; he (witness) said so with a clear conscience; the note produced was in his possession, handed to him by his sister about a week after the conversation about the stamp; he (witness) took the note regularly, as appears on the back, to the person who wrote the note, and he wrote the amount on it. Cross-examined by Mr. Thomas—He did not hear the Judge saying that the note was too old and he could not recover any- thing he may have heard it, but did not recollect. Isaac Thomas, Ffoesyrhyddod, Llanlleonfel, de- posed that he was tenant of the prisoner in 1850; the housekeeper asked him to write something he saw her near the house; it was to draw out a note between Mr. Evans and her; Evans was there; the note produced was written by him at the re- quest of the prisoner, and on the back, except the name of Richard Evans; witness left it somewhere; he (witness) had drawn many notes for the prisoner, but he did not see the prisoner sign them all; he remembered the case tried in the County Court; the prisoner there denied in English and Welsh that he had signed the note. Cross-examined— He did not understand what the Judge said in the County Court (from the bench in Welsh); he under- stood the Judge to say that nothing could be got on the note; he heard the prisoner say that he had not given a note to Mary Davies, but that he had given a note to her son; the entries were made on the back; some of them were placed oil the back, two entries at once; he drew notes between the prisoner and other parties; there was something between them; he (witness) had bought a cow of them and paid for it. David Bowen, farmer, formerly of Troedyrhiw, Llangammarch, deposed that he was a tenant of prisoner's; he frequently saw him write receipts for the rents; from the handwriting on his rent- book he had no doubt that the name on the note produced was the same, but he would not swear to it; he had no doubt about the matter. Edward Cambridge Phillips, deputy-registrar, deposed that he remembered, at .the laist March County Court, the prisoner Evans being' sworn. in a case between himself and Davies, the complainant in the present case; he recollected a note for £7 being put in evidence; the note produced is the same; he did not hear the prisoner say in Welsh, but he heard him say in English that he had not signed it; the Judge askerl the prisoner to sign his name; he took down the answers produced at the request of the Judge. (Here Mr. Phillips read the answers as taken down in the County Court.) This was the case for the prosecution. Mr. Thomas then addressed the court for the defence, and said that he would explain to them the nature of the present action. There was alleged to be some little legal suspicion, but there was not any. His client had borne a career of more than fourscore years without a spot on his character. They were the judges and the jury on the present occasion, and it would be for them to decide whether his client was guilty. His client admitted I signing a note to the son, but not for the mother, which is the note in question. The stamp was not legal, and therefore it could not be a note-it was a receipt stamp, which made the document an ille- gal one.—After a long address to the Bench, and discussion between the learned advocates and the Bench, their worships ordered the court to be cleared, and after a short consultation, the prisoner was acquitted.

TOWN COUNCIL AND BOARD OF HEALTH MEETINGS. The abave adjourned meeting took place at the Council Chamber, in the Town Hall, when the following members were present:—John Prothero, Esq., Mayor, in the chair Aldermen-D. Thomas and J. Williams, Esquires Councillors—Messrs. George Cansick, J. Davies, P. Bright, Thos. Trew, John Jones, H. C. Rich, and Doctor Lucas. Mr. Phillips, in the absence of the Town Clerk, read the minutes of the last meeting and in reply to Mr. Davies, said that all accounts which had been passed by the finance committee were paid, with the exception of Jones's, which had not been allowed. The Mayor read a letter from Mr. Isaac Davies, engineer of the new waterworks, applying for £50, which would make £100 of what was due for his services. Mr. Alderman Williams informed the Board that they owed the Engineer more money than that for the waterworks that was for going to London to oppose Mr. Cobb's bill for new waterworks. Mr. Bright moved, and Mr. Cansick seconded, that the Engineer be requested to send in his full claim upon the Board at once.—Agreed to. Mr. Alderman Williams, in reply to the Board, said that X3160 had been received in the bank on account of the new waterworks. Mr. Bright said that he knew of £1000 ready to be invested. Mr. Cansick said that he knew of £ 500. The Mayor remarked that it was very gratifying to think that the money was coming in so well. Mr. Bright said that there was a sum of X210 due from the Markets Committee, and it was set- tled at the last meeting that it should be applied for at once that all tolls were collected ready money, and he saw no reason why the Corporation should wait six months for it. Mr. Phillips, in reply, said that Mr. Cobb had not been applied to until the previous week. Mr. Bright moved, and Mr. Can sick seconded, that Mr. Cohb be applied to to pay the amount forthwith.—Agreed to. Mr. Bright then said, in reference to the paint- ing of the Town Hall, that tradesmen were very loathe to tender, in consequence of the great delay which had been experienced in getting paid for the work after it had been done. He knew of a trades- man who had done some work at the station, and had to wait a long time before he could get his money. He considered that very much against the credit of the Board, and moved that all bills should be paid when passed by the finance com- mittee. Tradesmen, when they work for ready money, could afford to do it for less money and the painting of the Town Hall would not exceed the amount allowed by the Board. Mr. Davies informed the Board that the closet in the Town Hall was in a bad state, and he con- sidered it to be the duty of their surveyor to look to it and get it repaired. Mr. Kirk informed the Board that he was not a servant of the Corporation, but was the servant of the Board of Health but if they wished him, he woidd attend to it and get it done. Mr. Cansick said that there were some complaints made about a tree which had fell down over the reservoir, and asked the Surveyor if it could not be removed. The Surveyor said that it could not be removed unless the water was let out of the reservoir, and the usual time would soon come for having it cleaned, and that it would be an unnecessary ex- pense and inconvenience to the consumers if the water was let out at present. Mr. Kirk here produced several bills to the Board. Mr. Davies asked what amount had been received on account of the Board of Health. Mr. Alderman Williams replied by saying that he had received about £13. Mr. Davies asked when the new collector had possession of the books for the purpose of making the rates, and what had become of the books be- longing to the late collector. Mr. Phillips said that Mr. Farmer had produced his books at a meeting of the Board, and then asked the finance committee to name an early day for him to meet them. Several members of the Board here said that they remembered the books being produced, but there was a balance due of recoverable arrears, and that the Board then said that they would meet Mr. Farmer after he had collected the arrears that Mr. Farmer had applied for payment for collecting an amount which should have been collected in the 12 months, for which Mr. Farmer had been paid, and the rate should have been collected by him. Mr. Phillips informed the Board that the books were with the new collector. Mr. Bright said that he saw by the account pro- duced by the Surveyor that the Board had to pay for extra labour the sum of £6 3s. 10d., for put- ting the ashes on the path alongside of the road below the Watton gate; and he understood that Mr. Bass said at a previous meeting of the Board that he would get up a subscription for the purpose of paying the expense. It was nothing but right that the public should know that the Board had to pay for it out of the rates of the borough. The Mayor, at the same meeting, very kindly said he would lend a boat for the purpose, and it was not right that the public should pay for the work at that rate. He then informed the Board that there was a portion of the culvert belonging to the mad- drel in a very bad state. Ö Mr. Kirk said that arching bricks could not be got in the town, and he was obliged to send off for them. Mr. Bright then drew the attention of the Sur- veyor to the depositing of gravel and stones in the centre of the town, for the purpose of repairing other streets of the town, and that several of the inhabitants were complaining. Mr. Kirk said that it had only been there for a, few days, and for the convenience of the men, to save time; that if they had to wheel them from another part of the town, the work would be longer in hand. Mr. Bright then asked the Surveyor if the streets of the town could not be watered earlier than they were at present that in other towns the streets were all watered by 8 o'clock in the morning, before the shops were open, and he thought it could be done in Brecon. Mr. Kirk said it was quite impossible for it to be done with the staff he had. He would require 6 horses and 12 men to get the streets of the town watered by 8 o'clock in the morning. The man was obliged to bale every drop of water into the water-cart with a bucket, and that took up a great deal of time. Some further conversation took place, after which, it was considered expedient to allow the question to stand over until the new waterworks was com- pleted. ■ Mr. Alderman Thomas called the attention of the Board to the great necessity of having a fire- escape in the town for the use of the public, in case of fire breaking out; that it had been invaluable in Swansea the other day by saving two lives, and he was sure the inhabitants of Brecon would not mind XSO or £100 if they could render such ser- vice in case of need, and he would move that the Town Clerk be instructed to order one. Mr. Alderman Williams suggested the propriety of having a subscription for the purpose of getting one, as had been suggested at a previous meeting by Mr. Thomas. Mr. Alderman Thomas said he would only be too happy to do what he could in the matter. Mr. Davies said, that as a member of any public body, he did not consider that be should be doing his duty unless he did all he could to endeavour to save life in cases of need. There was great credit due to the Corporation of Swansea for having the fire-escape at the time it was required. There had been two lives saved by it, and he was sure that the ratepayers of Brecon would be perfectly satis- fied, if such a calamity occurred in this town, in paying for a fire-escape, if only two lives were saved, and he was sure they would very much re- gret they had not got one if it was required. He thought they should be prepared with such a safe- guard, and if Mr. Thomas would allow his motion to stand over until a future time he would second it.—Agreed to. Mr. Bright called the attention of the Board to a, minute entered in the Inspector of Nuisances' book, relative to one of the servants of the Board removing night-soil in the day time, and was con- victed. The Surveyor said that he did not think it was altogether correct. The meeting was then adjourned for a fortnight.

VOLUNTEER RIFLE MATCH. On Wednesday last, at the Sunny Bank Range, most beautifully situated, and about one mile from the town of Brecon, a match came off between 10 members of the 1st Brecknock company, and 10 of No. 3, Crickhowell company, on which occasion the latter were victorious by 49 points. The day was everything that could be wished for, and equally favorable for both parties. The following is the number scored by each member, viz :— BRECON. 200 yds. 500 yds. Total. Capt. P.

The whole party then ad- journed to the Volunteer Institute, situate in the Watton, where a cold dinner was prepared for all who wished to attend, when about 30 members were present. The chair was occupied by Capt. Lloyd of No. I company, supported on the right by Capt Hotchkis, Crickhowell, aDd on the left by Ensign Parry, Crickhowell, also on the right by Ensign Snead of the Llangunmder sub-division. The dinner was provided by Mr. Edward Williams of the Red House, Watton, which was amply sup- plied, and to the entire satisfaction of all who were present. -=

PETERSTONE LODGE OF ODDFELLOWS.—An An- niversary of the above L>dge was held at the New Inn, Llanhamlach, on Monday last, being Whit- Monday, when about 60 of the members assembled and proceeded to Llanhamlach church, where an appropriate sermon was preached by the Rev. Philip Morgan, the text being taken from Acts x, and part of the 38th verse, 11 Who went about doing good;" after which, the procession marched to Grroesffordd, being headed by the Brecon brass band, which gave great satisfaction, and returned to the lodge room, where they sat down to an excellent dinner, provided by Mr. Meredith. The funds of the society are in a flourishing condition.
