PEMBROKESHIRE. TENBY TOWN COUNCIL.—A quarterly meeting was held on Tuesday last. The following members were present :-The mayor, Messrs. Jones, Smith, Rees, W. Davies, Walkington, Henton, Freeman, J. Hughes, and Waters. The money orders having been disposed of, the mayor stated that the trees on the South Parade which he presented to the corporation, required pruning, and the guards repairing. Ordered that timber be pur- chased for the purpose, and that the trees be pruned under the direction of the mayor. A memorial was presented from Mr. King suggesting the propriety of altering the water rate on lodging houses. Ordered that a special meeting of the council be called on Tues- day next, for the purpose of revising the water rate. Ordered that the town clerk give notice to the occupiers of houses to put up shoots and repair the foot pave- ments opposite their premises, according to the 25th and 44th sections of the Tenby Improvement Act. It was proposed by Mr. Waters, that persons requiring the use of the public lights through the night, be allowed on payment of two shillings per night for each light. Agreed to. An application from F. Smyth. Esq., for a prolonged lease for 75 years on payment of an advanced rent, and laying out 1:100 in building, was agreed to without opposition also that the order of council for taking a lease of the old Town-hall should be rescinded. The Council then broke up. PEMBROKE DOCK BARRARcs.-Every preparation is being made for the occupation of this fortress by troops, most probably those of the line. Supplies, even to the article of straw for bedding, have been sent in, and this is one of the greatest proofs that the quarters will not be garrisoned by marines, for they are generally provided with bedding and where possible with ham- mocks. Indeed the anticipated removal of that in- efficient, because worn out and almost superannuated force, the Sergeant's party of the Royal Artillery, is a further proof that others than Marines will be stationed at Pembroke Dock. The Horse Guards are too jealous of their rights for one moment to allow such a locality to be wholly in the hands and under the surveillance of the Board of Admiralty. It is expected the Constance, one of the large class 50 gun frigates, will be launched at Pembroke Yard, on the 25th of the present month. PEMBROKESHIRE.—At a Quarterly Meeting of the Pembroke Town Council, held on Tuesday, the 10th instant, before M. Davies, Esq., mayor, and the follow- ing members—Messrs. Philp, Paynter, Thomas, (Pem- broke Dock), Lawes, Weatherby, Bowen, Thomas, (Orange Hall), Burton, Hurlow, Pretious, Trewent, and Butler, but little business was transacted beyond the usual passing and direction for payment of the bills on the corporation. Certain repairs of the quay were ordered to be effected, and a general meeting decided upon for the purpose of entering into the financial accounts of the Borough. There can be no doubt that at that assembly every expenditure in the form ot salaries or otherwise, will be strictly investigated; the general desire of the council being that the inhabitants shall not be unnecessarily taxed. The economists will, therefore, no doubt be at their posts on the 10th of March.

HAVERFORDWEST TOWN COUNCIL. I An adjourned meeting was held at the council cham- ber on Monday last. The following members were present :—Messrs. William Owen, William Rees, J. Ll. Morgan, aldermen, John Phillips, Thomas Rowlands, and Wm. Walters, councillors. The Town Clerk read a note from the Mayor, stating his inability to attend the meeting in consequence of the lamented decease of his father. Wm. Owen, Esq., was called to the chair. Wm. Evans, Esq., said that in compliance with the suggestion made at the last meeting of the council he had turned his attention to the question whether charity trustees couid alienate their property, with a view of ascertaining whether the trustees of Tasker's charity could sell the almshouse and schoolmaster's house to the corporation. He found there was no authority enabling the trustees to sell, the usual course was by an applica- sion to the Court of Chancery but there was a statute under which the property might be acquired by way of exchange, namely, the 1 and 2 Geo. 4, ch. 92. An act to authorize the exchange of lands subject to chari- table trusts for other lands or tenements." Mr. Evans then stated the provisions of the act which authorized application to be made to the Bishop of the Diocese, who was empowered to issue a commission directed to two or more beneficed clergymen, and one barrister-at-law, to ascertain whether an exchange would be beneficial for the charity, and if upon the return of the commission the Bishop should be satisfied that the exchange would be beneficial, he might signify his approbation thereof by signing the bargain of sale for effecting the exchange which must be enrolled in the Court of Chancery. Mr. Evans said the Lord Chancellor had brought a bill into Parliament for the regulation of charitable trusts. Mr. Rees said it would be most desirable to induce the Lord Chancellor to introduce a clause into the act, ap- plicable to cases like the present, so as to avoid the proceedings necessary to be pursued under the act re- ferred to. Mr. Evans concurred with Mr. Rees; he should be glad to avoid having recourse to the mode of procedure directed by the act, but if the Lord Chancellor should omit to make provisions for such a case there would be no difficulty in effecting an exchange under the pre- sent act. Mr. Rees was afraid the expence attending the com- mission would be considerable. Mr. Wm. Owen said the Lord Chancellor had brought his bill before Parliament for several sessions, but it had not passed, and he feared little reliance could be placed on the measure. Dr. Morgan thought that the E2,50 iiieiitioted in the corporation minute book had been laid out in erecting the almshouse, but he was of opinion that it was erected on the corporate property, and he thought the garden adjoining did not belong to the charity. After some further discussion Mr. Thomas Rowlands moved that to avoid disputes or litigation the follow- ing proposal be made to the trustees of iasker's charity; To offer the house, garden, &c., late In the occupation of John Davies, in Shut street, in exchange to them for their estate, whatever it might be, in the almshouse, schoolmaster's house, and garden adjoining the corn market. Mr. Parry seconded the proposition. Mr. Owen asked what was intended to be done with the old women occupying the almshouse. Mr. Rees said they were to be provided for, but how it was to be done he could not tell. Dr. Morgan said it appeared to him that by including the garden which he considered the property of the cor- poration, the intended new corn market house would be sufficiently large, a schoolroom could be provided over it and the almshouse would thus be retained. This ar- rangement would obviate all the difficulties which stood in the way of adjusting the question in any other manner. Mr. John Phillips thought the matter was in too crude a state at present to admit of any resolution being pro- posed on the subject, and moved that Mr. Itowlands proposition be not entertained. Dr. Morgan seconded the amendment. Mr. Rees said he did not intend voting either way as he could not see how the old women were to be pro- vided for. The original motion was carried by the casting vote of the chairman. The Town Clerk stated that he wished to have instruc- tions from the Council with regard to the proposed sale to the Gas Commissioners of the houses in Castle Square, and the Cock house for the purpose of their being taken down to widen and improve the street. It appeared that if the houses were sold to the Gas Commissioners, the purchase money, under a clause in their act, must be paid into the Bank of England in the name of the Accountant General of the Court of Ex- chequer, and could only be applied, under the direction of the court, for certain purposes mentioned in the act and in the mean time be invested in the purchase of 3 per cent. bank annuities, and if the council wished to get the money out, it would be attended with much expense and trouble. As he understood it was intended to apply the money in building a new corn market house it would be very desirable, if possible, to have the sole control over it. The Gas Commissioners were only the medium of the purchase inasmuch as the whole of the money had been contributed by other public bodies and private individuals; he suggested that if the sale were made to two or three persons nominated by the suscribcrs, it would obviate the difficulty. After a lengthened discussion it was arranged that the memorial to the Lords of the Treasury for permis- sion to sell should be so drawn up, and stating that the money was intended to be applied towards the erection of a new corn market house. A lease for ten years from Michaelmas 1841 was or- dered to be granted to the Rev. David Davies, of the field and coach house held by him in Cuckoo street, at £ 10 per annum. The following boys were recommended to the master of the school for admission on the foundation, William Williams, son of the Rev. James Williams, and John Mathias, son of Thomas Mathias, Bridge street. The meeting was then adjourned to Tuesday the 24th instant.

Harding Harries, Esq., High-sheriff, for the County of Pembroke. PATER.—The artisans in Her Majesty's Dock Yard, Pater, having recently in conjunction with those of other Dock Yards, petitioned the Lords of the Ad- miralty, for an increase of wages; an answer to their petition was received on Friday last, refusing to accede to the application, and intimating that if any of them were dissatisfied with the wages they received, they might obtain their discharge by applying for it. Last week about 30 extra men were entered at the Royal Arsenal, at Pembroke Dock.

CARDIGANSHIRE. I CAUTION TO FARM SERY ANTs.-On Tuesday evening last, about 7 o'clock, a most alarming fire broke out in one of the outhouses of a farm called Llanfair-fach, about two miles and a half from Lampeter, at which 5 cows and 2 bulls were burnt to death, and 11 others were more or less injured. The owner, Mr. D. Thomas, in his endeavours to save the others has burnt himself very severely. It is not exactly known how the fire originated, but is supposed to be owing to the want of proper caution in one of the male servants, who had been in the shed a short time previous with a lighted candle. AWFULLY SUDDEN DEATH.—A poor labourer, named John Stephen, residing at Troedyrhiw-issa, near the town of Lampeter, was on Monday last seized with illness, and in less than two hours was a corpse. Wm. Lloyd, Esq., surgeon, of Lampeter, rendered every possible assistance, but all was too late. The deceased was a very industrious and hard worliing man yet he scarcely allowed himself the common necessaries of life. After his death a sum amounting to upwards of £29 in gold and silver was found hidden under his'bed. The inquest has not yet been held on the body. On Saturday last an inquest was held at the Tivy-Side Inn, Bridge End, near Cardigan, before James Bowen, Esq., and a respectable jury, on the body of Mr. David Jones, Builder, of the same place. It appeared from the evidence adduced that the deceased had been taking a coffin home for the late Captain Griffiths, and on his return, the night being very dark, he is supposed to have struck himself against a donkey cart that was standing in Green Street, Cardigan, causing a rupture of the pelvis. The jury after a lengthened investigation re- turned the following verdict:—" That the deceased died from injuries received, but in what way received could not be ascertained." The coroner then addressed the police, and hoped that in future they would take care that all such obstacles should be removed from the streets, and we trust that the proper authorities will see that the police officers stationed in Cardigan will do their duty. CARDIGANSHIRE TutiNirs.-Last week Mr. Claridge, farming manager of Pryse Pryse, Esq., M. P., weighed the produce of half an acre of Swedes" growing upon Gogerddan farm, and they amounted to 231 tons, being at the rate of 47 tons per acre. The half acre was by no means" picked" and Mr. Claridge is quite confi- dent that there are pieces in the field (near Rhidtir Bridge on the Machynlleth turnpike road) that will yield 50 tons the acre. ABERYSTWITH RAILWAYS.—The Crewe" or Man- chester and Aberystwith Railway is going a head." Messrs. John and Hugh Hughes, the local agents of the above line at Aberystwith, have received peremptory notice to be in London on Monday next, to appear before the Committee of the House of Commons in respect of the above line.

THE BISHOP OF ST. DAVID'S ON PUSEYISM. I [From our Aberystwith Correspondent.] I The high respect in which HIS ijordsmp the Bishop of St. David's is held in Aberystwyth and throughout Cardiganshire, induces me to think that his remarks on Puseyism contained in his recent charge to the Clergy will give great satisfaction to your numerous readers in these parts. His Lordship having stated that the recent conver- sion to Romanism was not the result of any logical pro- cess but of moral and imaginative associations and trains of feeling quite independent of the principles in question." He then proceeds :—" For while I express this confidence in the spirit which pervades the great burk of our brethren in the ministry, I do not wish to dissemble what it would be vain to deny, that within the last few years much has occurred to rouse suspicion and distrust towards them in the minds of our people. In my last charge I was led to animadvert on some of the occa- sions of offence, which had then been given by recent publieations put forth by Clergymen, in which proposi- tion, were maintained, and language used breathing dis- affection to our Church, and apparently indicating a wish and a design of altering its character into a close conformity with that of Rome, and of entirely undoing the work of the Reformation among us. Since then we have witnessed occurrences still more surprising and alarming. We have seen ministers of the Church of England publicly avowing their assent to all the doc- trines of the Church of Rome, and asserting the con- sistency of this belief, not only with the character with which they were invested at their ordination, but with the continued exercise of their ministerial function. This assertion was calculated to excite so much the more alarm the less reason there was for questioning the sin- cerity with which it was made because it seemed to prove that an ordinary degree of uprightness and reve- rence for truth is not sufficient security against the delusion and still more recently, in a theological pub- lication, conducted by Clergymen, The Theologian," and professing large views, entire impartiality, and warm attachment to our Church I find this paradox treated as a probable opinion. On the opinion itself I shall not now stop to comment. But I cannot refrain from making a few remarks on one feature which seems to me espe- cially to deserve attention in the system adopted by the leading writers of this party. It might perhaps have been expected from persons who had been brought up in our communion, and never entered our ministry, that if from whatever cause they afterwards become converts to Romanism they would have preferred that form of Ro- manism which was least at variance with their previous associations and habits of thought; that on points as to which difference of opinion existed among Romanists themselves, they would have sided with the more moderate party, that their sympathies would have been in favour of Bossuet and Pascal rather than of the schools which have carried the doctrine of the Papal supremacy to the most extravagant length, andhave most strenuously upheld what we arc used to consider as the grossest corruptions of the church of Rome. The reverse, however, has in this instance been the case. These modern proselytes to Romanism even while they remain within our pale and minister at our altars have rushed to an extreme from which many of the most sincere, pious, and enlightened members of that communion (the Romish) have shrunk, and it seems as if no saying was too hard for them too hear when it is Rome that speaks that there are no terms of communion which they are not readv to accept if it is Rome that imposes them. The latest nove"ities recommended from this quarter are in their eyes as sacred as any portion of primitive doctrine. The church is thus (by the doctrine of developement) invested with a new office and prerogative. She is not only the keeper and expounder of divine truth, but is empowered to reveal it; she not only declares but makes articles of faith. This theory is of recent date even in the church of Rome. It virtually renounces the position which her apologists had previously thought it necessary to maintain; and it seems to have been embraced only by a few speculative writers among them. Yet it has been adopted without hesitation by divines of otir, own church. There can hardly be a clearer sign that it has not been by a process of legitimate reasoning nor by a spirit of earnest and sober inquiry, nor with a single eye to truth as the object of their researches that they have been brought to their conclusions. In one point of view, perhaps, we have reason to rejoice at the exhibition of temerity, extravagance and sophistry which appears in writings designed to inculcate such principles, because it must lessen the danger of contagion. In unprejudiced and unsophisticated minds it could not fail to excite dis- gust and iiidig-iation and there can be no doubt that such were the feelings blended with suspicion and alarm with which it was viewed by the great mass of the laity who took an interest in the subject."

G L A jFo R G A N S H I li eT' QUOIT MATCH AT SWANSEA.—On Monday last a match for fo was played between Mr Howell Davies, of Aferthyr, ind a member of the Swansea Quoit Club, which was won by the latter after a well contested game.

ANTI-MILITIA MEETING AT SWANSEA.—A public meeting was held at the Town-Hall, Swansea, on Mon- day evening, for the purpose of petitioning the legislature against the contemplated enrolment of the militia.

The dances were alternately q uadrills, walt zes, galops, polkas, &c. The quality of the refreshments, and the taste with which they were served up, did great credit to Mr. and Mrs. Gregory. After supper, dancing was renewed, and continued to "an early hour."

near Swansea, took the Vice Chair. The fun grew fast and furious" and conviviality was kept up till near I six o'clock the next morning. THE BALL. I The Ball at the Boars' Head was undoubtedly one of the best ever seen in Carmarthen. The ball room was tastefully decorated with garlands, and presented a brilliant coup cVosil. The company began to arrive at nine o'clock, and by half past ten about 70 couples graced the scene, which How assumed an air of positive magnificence. The glares of the wax lights, the glitter of uniforms, the splendidly dressed demoiselles, and the enlivening Strains of the music rendered the whole apparently a species of enchantment. Seldom before has there been congregated together in this county so much of beauty as °n this occasion, and it would be extremely more difficult to assign the balance of loveliness to some one of the Numerous bevy of beauties, than to do anything we are at this moment able to recollect. The courteous Assiduity of the stewards rendered nothing wanting to cause everything to pass off with the greatest eclat. Among the company were Col. Love, C.B., and lady Sir J. H. Williams, Bart., and family; E. Adams, Esq., and lady Tavloi-, W. Chambers, Esq., and Party; W. Morris, Esq., J. W. Philipps, Esq., and the Misses Phillips, G. B. J. Jordan, Esq., W.H.Lewis, Esq., Capt. Wardlow, Major Skelly, Capt. Hamilton, Lieut. Dod, Lieut. Sutton, Grismond Phillips, Esq., and Misses Phillips, John Pugh Pryse, Esq., and lady D. J. B. Edwards, and J. M. G. Hughes, Esquires, the stewards; Xavier Peel, Esq., Mrs. and Miss Johnes, Dolecothy, E. P. Lloyd, Esq., and family, J. Alcock, Esq., Mrs. Alcock, Miss Grubb, and T. Alcock, Esq., Wellington Peel, Esq., W. H. R. Powell, Esq., Jas. Bowen, Esq., and Misses Bowen, Miss Gwynne, Mrs. Major, and the Misses Rorison, Mrs. and Miss Wilson, and Miss Williams, C. D. Williams, Esq., and lady, S. Edwardes, Esq., T. Tardrew, Esq., Leyson Lewis, Esq., W. G. Hughes, Esq., Lieut. Burton, Lieut. Hanley, R. D. Gough, Esq., F Edwardes, Esq., W. Owen, Esq., &c., &c., &c. Quadrilles and Waltzes followed each other in rapid succession, and the bewitching polka was repeatedly called into requisition. In fact, enjoyment was kept up without intermission, until The morn had streaked with reddening light The doubtful confines of the day and night." u WEDNESDAY. I 1 11 1 The alaesgwynne box Hounds met at ilanilwen village, at ten o'clock, when about 200 horsemen mustered to the turning out of a bagged fox. Reynard made off at a strong pace towards Pembrokeshire, and after a good run succeeded in eluding the efforts of his pursuers. The sportsmen then returned homewards, but in Cwmdu wood another fox was started, which after a chase short, sharp, and decisive," was finally run into and killed. THE ORDINARY, at the Ivy Bush Hotel, was attended by about 40 of the elite of the sporting gentlemen of Carmarthenshire, Pembrokeshire, and Cardiganshire. It "Was a most recherche affair, and reflected the greatest credit on the establishment. The party did not break up until an early hour the following morning. THURSDAY. Upon its being known that all the horses who ran in the Open Steeple Chase, except Bottom, were to run again for the Town Plate, in addition to five other horses of no mean calibre, considerable interest attached to the eVent. Consequently, for hours before the starting time, crowds were seen wending their way to the scene of action, eager to secure a good place. The ground had been judiciously altered since Tues- day, and instead of running behind the hill at the back of Traveller's Rest, the start took place in front of the hill, and the course went right away over a ploughed field, and then for a mile and a half nearly alongside the road to the turning flag, after which there was a short debouehe to the road, and thence into the opposite fields. Two or three fields after there was a rasping hedge and a brook of no questionable character, and then across two fields more to the winning field, along which there was a good gallop home;— the winning flag being imme- diately opposite the Traveller's Rest. Thus the same facility for seeing the whole of the race from one spot Was accorded, while the starting and ending points were brought nearer to each other, and opportunity afforded for spectators to see the commencement and ending of ach race without moving any great distance from their Positions.

Speculation was at its height when the goodly array •othorses took their preliminary canter, and betting was carried on to the same extent—the generality of sporting men backing Tallyho and One-eyed Mallen. The horses appeared in splendid condition, with the exception of ■Kangaroo, who looked rather spare. The start was well managed, and the whole field of horses got away after a bungle at the first fence by two or ree of them. The pace Was very severe, Kangaroo, S^yko, and Giraffe leading, the other. six in a ruck enind. This order of the race was maintained pretty ielI throughout, until they nearly approached the brook. 730th Kangaroo and Tallyho here put their best legs foremost and by a singularity which seldom happens, °0th jumped into the brook instead of over it. Kangaroo ^as out again in a moment, but Tallyho was not so for- tunate, as his rider had to lead him up the stream about o yards before he could effect his landing on the shore. Tallyko made a gallant effort to recover his lost ground, and succeeded in overtaking Davies before the end of the next field. Whip and spur were now plied heartily by both riders, the horses coming into the winning field almost at the same moment. Here it was evident that Tallyho's immersion had effected his speed, for lCangaroo gained ground rapidly, and finally won by several lengths. Giraffe came in a very bad third, while One-eyed Mallen was a long way behind for fourth. Mr. rice's mare, Jessie, met a mishap at the brook where he and her rider both got a slight wetting, and the other horses were literally nowhere, for nothing was seen of them in the race again. Kangaroo's victory was hailed with reiterated cheers by the assembled throng, although there were not *all ting numbers who sincerely regretted the double defeat if the gallant little Tallyho, while the sympathisers WIth Jessy, who has proved her game on more than one occasion, were considerable. Altogether it was one of the most stirring and exciting races we have ever seen, and will doubtless contribute in a great measure to the Popularity of Steeple Chasing in this part of the country.

I This, being the last race, as frequently happens, afforded fully as much, if not more amusement than all the others Put together, and from the circumstance that a horse from each of the counties of Carmarthen, Pembroke, and Cardigan, was to run, great eagerness as to the result was manifested by all present. The start for the first heat took place with as little delay as possible, and about half way over the ground Jane was put hors de combat, having evidently but very little chance. The other two horses pursued the tw-even tenour of their Jay" at a good pace until the last field, when a tremen- dous gallop home ended in Chance's being declared the dinner of the first heat. For the second heat only Chance and Dandy started, the Cardi-aii horse being withdrawn by its owner. Chance went away with a strong lead, closely followed, however, by Dandy. At the last fence Chance who was 'eading fell, and Dandy in coming through the same gap fell alongside him. Dandy's rider was up first, and at the ^inning post thirty yards in advance of Chance. The interest was now intense and the horses started fOr the third heat amid the loud cheers of the populace. Chance's jockey had been so much shaken by his fall in the last heat that it was deemed advisable to procure him a fresh rider, upon which Mr. Davies, his owner, Sallantly mounted himself, with an evident determination to do all in his power to win. Both horses kept pretty *ell together until about half way round, when Chance ?H, giving 7?<M?y a good lead of about a field's length. ?t the brook, however, Do?y overjumped himself and fell sprawling, throwing his rider a complete summerset o\'er his head—the horse apparently thought his rider 'WaLs too long on terra jirma, for he set off by himself, cleared the hedge by the road-side and galiopped along the road towards Traveller's Rest for a considerable distance before he was caught. Chance (whose rider hd remounted, having only lost his cap) had it now all his own way and taking his leaps in splendid style, he Cantered in the winner. The cheering when it was known that for the third time during the week the stakes had been carried off by a Carmarthenshire horse was loud and onA' continued. We may here observe that the Pembrokeshire gentry re deserving of the highest praise for their attendance. -rhe number of people on the ground throughout the day was calculated to have far exceeded two thousand. ■ The Silver Cup, value ten guineas, given to the winner the last race, was procured by Mr. Levi, Silversmith, of lIS place, and is a beautiful specimen of design and *ccution. The figures, which are appropriate, are frosted nd the interior richly silver gilt. The second Ball at the Boar's Head was not quite so ell attended as the last, but there was nevertheless a oOOdly assemblage of fashionables amounting in number about ninety.
