STEAM-BOAT ACClDENT.-On Monday se'nnight, Boon after the Dragon steamer (a boat brought to Newport to replace the Severn, which sunk near the bridge), having but a small line out of her stern, the line parted, and she drifted through the bridge, and had her masts and funnel carried away. Now, one of two things must be evident either the place where the slip is made is not at all suited for the pur- pose, from the strong current that sets in there on flood tide; or a great deal of negligence exists in reference to the manner m which the steamers are managed at their moorings. SWANSEA SUNDAY SCHOOLS.—On Whit-Monday, the Si" procession of the Sabbath-schools of this town dissenting' nW« f s,c.hools connected with the English dissenting places of worship, assembled oh the Burrowi MbCen "kSedforSTo°cca- walk«d in procession through Wind-sU^-t^CnchlJdfCn Three of the schools proceeded to Castk-strpot PI" L i the remaining three to Mount Pleas^t rhlll <laP,el>1and were well tilled.

Great credit is due to the teachers who devote Sabbath after Sabbath, throughout the yenr, 1Il imparting religions instruc- tion to hundreds ot the nsmg generation many of whom, were it not for their benevolent exertions, would be left in a state of the greatest ignorance—open to all the temptations of lite-undeterred and unchecked by any moral or religious consideration. PROCESSION OF MEMBERS OF THE ODD-FEI,LOWS SOCIETY. -Monday last was a grand field-day with the members of the above society. Early in the iorenoon th'e Lady Char- lotte steamer arrived from Cardiff with a number of members of the fraternity from that district. The members of the Swansea branch of the order accordingly met their Cardiff brethren on landing, and escorted them to the Cambrian and [ Unity Lodge-rooms, where special general meetings of the two principal lodges of this district had been held on the preceding Thursday, for the purpose of making arrangements for the formation of the procession, which consisted of about 450 persons, composed of members of the Cambrian, Unity, Adelphi, and Landore Lodges, together with about fifty of their Cardiff friends. We are informed that a great number of the members of the order had been deterred from joining the procession in consequence of the non-arrival from Man- chester of various portions of their iobes, &c., which had been ordered. The procession, the officers and members of which were dressed in their robes of office, bearing various banners, with mottos, devices, &c., emblematical of the phi- lanthropic objects of the society, perambulated all the prin- cipal streets of the town, preceded by a brass band playing several lively airs. At four o'clock in the afternoon, the Cardiff friends left in the Ladv Charlotte, and were saluted with deafening cheers as the steamer left the pier. The majority of the members of the order resident in this neigh- bourhood retired to the lodge-room, where the remainder of the evening was spent in conviviality.—Cambrian.
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR. SIR,-I should not have troubled you with any remarks on a paragraph in the Welshman of the 31st ult., had it not been a total misrepresentation of facts, inserted by Charles Wat- ling Wisbey, the editor of that paper. The facts are as follow :—On the evening of Tuesday week a teetotal meeting was held, in a chapel in Bridge-street several persons, amongst whom the two printers," came in, and stood near the door with their hats off; but on account of the disgust- ing and abusive language" of the speaker, one of them retired after a stay of about five minutes. The other printer together with other persons placed their hats on their heads, to prevent their taking cold when they were immediately attacked in the most marked and offensive manner, with the utmost virulence of the speaker, (Scott), in true Lancashire dialect and style of abuse. The printer did not hiss nor hoot, as stated in the veracious account of the HcMnMK but after waiting till Scott had completely exhausted his Billingsgate, walked quietly away, merely regarding all that had been said as the words of an idiot, Full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing." At a Public Meeting, whether held m chapel or hali, of course the audience have the right of expressing their approbation, so that whatever "hissing or hooting" took place was perfectly justifiable. But the hissing and hooting were directed against Scott's "gross outrage on common decency," and not against the printer. The editor trom the above will now perceive that he is wrong, either wilfully or ignorantly but as he is not likely to give a candid contradiction of the paragraph, I hope you will insert these few lines in justification of two printers, as well as of other persons, against whom such display of ) ill-feeling was manifested. In conclusion I bid him (the Editor) I cut" his new teetotal friends, as they are not likely to be of much advantage to him. With regard to Scott, we should advise the teetotallers to get a man of education-with at least a slight knowledge of English grammar, &c.—to plead their cause in this part of the country, and send him back to Preston. I am, sir, Your obedient servant, Haverfordwest. OBSERVER. gm —Will you permit me (as one who feels deeply inter- ested in ever); effort that is calculated to add in the slightest degree to the improvement of society), to congratulate your readers on the prospect of the establishment of a Mechanics Institute as every new project which is brought before the public must naturally and necessarily become the subject ot general conversation, I doubt not but this. laudable attempt will excite its share of interest; whilst some will hail it with ineffable delight, others will regard it with suspicion and alarm. Without.pretending to anticipate all the results, J may be permitted to glance at some of those which must inevitably proceed from such an Institute (if propeny mana- ged), and amongst others, I would mention a proper appre- ciation of time-time is a talent to be improved Time the supreme, time is eternity, Pregnant with all eternity can give— Who murders time—crushes in the bud A power ethereal, only not adored. And one most efficient way in which we may improve time is in the pursuit of knowledge another good to be obtained is mutual edification it will be the means of setting fo;jand collecting together the latent and nca mines of intellectual ore that now lie buried in obscurity. It will also promote friendship and harmony among youthful and inquiring mincls, and erect a standard, around which persons of eveiy religious and political creed might rally, without sacrificing one wU of their own peculiar opinions; knowledge is essential to friend ship. Pursue the theme and you will find A disciplined and furnished mind To be at least expedient." It will also open to. every inquiring mind the fountain of knowledge I am not of those persons who are frightened at the diffusion of knowledge, or who think that an acquaintance with the different arts and sciences would be injurious to ^AnSstead of impeding the progress of true religion, it will aid in extending it the mind in contemplating the works of nature will imperceptibly be led from nature up to nature's God." True knowledge is an enemy to no religion, but that which has for its motto, Ignorance is the motl^r of devotion." Wishing every success to your very, liberal paper. I am, Sir, yours truly, OBSERVER.

THE MAYORS DINNER!
THE EnGfG.— On the southern coast of Pembrokebhirc, i midway between St. Covin's head and the Crow, there is an isolated rock about a pistol shot from the shore, Using nearly to the height of the adjacent cliiTs, on the summit of which myriads of those migratory birds assemble Using nearly to the height of the adjacent cliffs, on the summit of which myriads of those migratory birds assemble every spring. Their appearance, almost simultaneously, is as surprising as their unanimous departure, and while congre- jfated on the rock in question, form a feature of surpassing interest to the visitors of the neighbourhood. Hither nume- rous pic-nic parties are formed from Pembroke, Tenb}-, &c., during the season, which yield a source of considerable amusement. The Right Hon. the Earl Cawdor, who, by the has lately formed an excellent carriage-road along the uowns, permits free access, prohibiting only the use of fire- ^7}la- The drive from St, Covin's to this rock, called the -khgug stack, is picturesque in the extreme. The natural caverns, the arched openings, and the magnificence and Krandeur of the rocky eminences excite the wonder and attention of every beholder. Pity it is that any depredations should be committed on those inoffensive birds. Lately, an animal in human guise ascended the stack, and not content JWh displaying his foolhardy powers of clambering, destroyed hundreds of eggs in the most wanton manner. Of the birds Jyiidi frequent these parts called Eligtigs, there are two kinds, the one with a long pointed bill is the Foolish Guil- em°t, or Sea-hen, the other, the Great Male Auk, of naturalists. Of the latter, the Auk, or Alca, there are several '.I'fcies. The one visiting the locality in question, is the Alca Torda, it weighs about 22% ounces, its length is about J 8 inches, and alar breadth 27 inches, the bill is two inches J°ng and black, the head, throat, and upper part of the body, "re black, the wings of the same colour, except the tips of the quill-feathers which are white, as is the whole under Part of the body,-legs black. They first appear along the coast in February, but do not settle in their breeding places trotil the beginning of May, when they take possession of the 'edges of the highest rock," and sit close together in rows, one above another, forming very grotesque appearances. They *pake no nest, but deposit tneir egg on the bare rock. The Guillemot is a genus of the Anseres, the colour of the upper part of the body is streaked with chesnut and brown beneath, jvaved with dusky white the bill, tail, wings, and claws are ."lack, their habits are similar to the Auk. How annoying Jt would be if those foolish attempts so continually made to obtain their eggs, should drive them ultimately "from their ^ourite resorts. F'RE.—The cottage of John Hayfat, a collier, at Hook, this neighbourhood, was burnt down on Wednesday last. • v. man been searching for a gimlet among some straw • *ith a candle, some sparks of which, it is supposed, fell Unobserved by him amongst the straw. He went out and locked the door. Some time after, his wife returned, and °n opening the door was surprised to see the house filled }vith smoke and flames, which prevented her entrance, and K? intents were consumed before effectual assistance could procured. f'vr6 Henry Hughes has been presented to the living Sj Manorbier, in this count}', vacant by the death of the v- R- Leach,—patron, heads of Christ College, Cambridge.
