HAVERFORDWEST GRAMMAR SCHOOL. IT is with great pleasure that we direct the attention of our readers to a suggestion con- tained in a letter (published in to-day's im- pression), from the Rov. W. Boweu Rowlands, Headmaster of the Grammar School. The rev. gentleman, "hose zeal for the advance- ment of the interests of the School placed under his charge we have previously had occasion to notice, has suggested the esta- blishment of a Library for the use of the Free Scholars of the Grammar School, and in his letter, which is brief and to the purpose, he earnestly solicits the co-operation of the public towards securing that object. Remembering how valuable this School is to the inhabitants of Haverfordwest, and what advantages it has enabled many of them to enjoy, we are sure that the suggestion of the Headmaster cannot but meet with universal approval. The ma- jority of public schools, occupying a like pro- minent position, are provided with extensive collections of the best books, to which the pupils have ready access; and the want of such invaluable auxiliaries to the prosecution of school studies has been so frequently felt in the Grammar School, that we wonder efforts were not made many years since to furnish it with a Library in every way worthy of so important and valuable an institution. The rev. gentleman who recently filled the post of Headmaster, the Rev. James Thomas, "with that love of learning and liberality which made him beloved by hia pupils, fur- nished, in numerous instances, volumes from his own private library for the use of free scholars; and the present Headmaster, also an honest and zealous worker in the cause of education, has largely imitated the worthy example of his predecessor but it should be recollected that the school is rapidly increasing in numbers, and with this addition to its numerical strength there is also a corres- ponding increase in the demands upon him for this kind of assistance, which we are cer- tain, when his proposition is fully known, many friends of the School will gladly join him in rendering. The progress of the School is very gratifying, evincing, as it does a certain degree of appreciation on the part of the public. Through the perseverance of the Head-master, and also at some expense to himself, efforts are being made to make the public in neighbouring counties acquainted with the advantages of the School, and should a fair amount of success attend these endea- vours, we have every reason to anticipate that in a few years the Haverfordwest Grammar School will become one of the leading educa- tional establishments in South Wales. We have every confidence that the Headmaster, who has already done much in a pecuniary point of view for the welfare of the School. will meet with proper encouragement from the public, and in a short time be enabled to bring his scheme to a satisfactory issue. The project will at once commend itself to the favour of the old pupils, who will fully under- stand its advantages and should the Head- master be fortunate enough to obtain their active co-operation, we are convinced that the School will not be long without a large col- lection of the best works. But a few months have elapsed since we had a strong proof of what can be accomplished by the old pupils of the Grammar School: their testimonial to the merits and virtues of their respected teacher reflected the highest credit on them- selves, taid afforded a striking testimony of the strength of their attachment to the old School, and of their grateful remembrance of the benefits they had derived from the tuition of one who had for many years been it faith- fiti guide and master. We are sure we do not assume too much when we say that Mr. Rowland's suggestion will meet with their cordial approval, and that they will be only too ready to assist in extending the usefulness of the old Sr' ol. and lend a helping hand free pupils of the j' prtboiit aay advantages which they must wish had existed in the days that are past.

SUMMARY. To balance with nice precision the losses and gains of both parties in the contest now draw- ing to a close would require a more accurate definition of the opinions of some of the gen tlemen returned, and indeed of some of those ejected, than the public possesses, or perhaps than they possess themselves. There is a handful of the former whose colours are so obscure, and of the latter whose votes were so little to be depended on, that it is, and reasonably may be, matter of dispute whether they ought to be added to, or to be subtracted from, one side of the account or the other. The general result however, whether we reckon the Liberal gains at eleven or sixteen, verifies the expectation that the relative strength of parties would undergo no material change. It is often said that a Government ought always to gain fifteen votes at least on a general election; the Conservatives on the other hand certainly flattered themselves that a "reaction" of sentiment had set in which would give them a substantial advantage. This certainly is not the case, and the Liberals, if they have not gained in the English boroughs as much as was anticipated, have gained more in the counnties and Ireland. There will be in the next Parliament, a more decided than in the last, a Ministerial ma- jority, confronted still however by a numerous Opposition. In different parts of the field the fortunes of the fray have been various, and have pro- duced some curious and unexpected incidents. Mr. Seymour Fitzgerald, rejected at Horsham, is a loss not only to his party, but to the House. A more Liberal candidate than Mr. F. Peel has ousted that useful but dry and disagreeable official from Bury. Mr. Ewart is displaced by a Conservative at Liverpool. Colonel White, Lord Bury, Lord A. Paget, Sir F. Smith, Sir J. Elphinstone, Mr. Malins, Mr. Denman (beaten at Tiverton at the side of Lord Palmerston, and by a majority of three), Lord Athlumney, Lord Fermoy, have vanished from their places. A Berkeley is displaced at Cheltenham the champion of the Permissive Bill is overthrown at Carlisle; poor Mr. Brassey, who won Devonport but a week or two ago, is discarded already by that fickle constituency, whilst Lord Amberley's discomfiture at Leeds, where the old Con- servative member, Mr. Beecroft, stands head of the poll, has a ludicrousness of its own, and was indeed the only thing wanting to complete the oddity of his situation. Man- chester has declined one of the Bright family for a practising barrister of moderate opinions. On the other hand Mr. Coleriige enters the House for Exeter, Sir H. Rawlinson for Frome, Mr. Mill for Westminster, Mr. Hughes for Lambeth, Mr. Fawcett for Brighton, Mr. Trevelyan for Tynemouth, Mr. Lawrence Oli- phant for the Stirling boroughs, Sir John Acton (a Roman Catholic gentleman of re- markable knowledge and intelligence) for Bridgnorth. Sir John is the single addition to the solitary Roman Catholic heretofore returned for an English constituency, and his co-religionists could haruly have a more dis- tinguished representative. Mr. Akroyd has deserved too well of the Church to allow of our feeling anything else than satisfaction at his return for Halifax. Mr. Gladstone's eldest and Lord Derby's second son are among the younger "freshmen." Of the persons accused of complicity in President Lincoln's assassination, four, in- cluding Mrs. Surratt, have been condemned to death, others to perpetual imprisonment, an- other to incarceration for a long term of years. The young widowed Queen of King Kame- hameha of the Sandwich Islands arrived at Southampton on Friday. She is the guest of Lady Franklin.

EXAMINATION AT LIVERPOOL.—On Wednesday, the 5th inst, Mr John Williams, of Solva, passed a satisfactory examination before the Local Marine Board at Liverpool, and he has recently received from the Board of Trade a Certificate of Competency as Chief Mate on Home or Foreign Service. Mr Williams was a pupil of Mr W. Propert, of St. David's. Two GRAND PAINTINGS OF JERUSALEM, from the easel of thexelebrated H. C. Selous, will be open to the public on Monday next at the Shire Hall: these pro- ductions have made quite a sensation in the world of art, having been visited in London by 70,000 persons: they are of large dimensions, each being 14 feet by 10 feet, and are exhibited under the auspices of Air Warr, of High-street. RENT AUDIT.—The rent audit of the tenantry of the Moat Estate, the property of J. H. Scourfield, Esq, M.P., was held at the Mariner's Hotel, on Saturday last. There were about 60 present, for whom an excellent dinner was provided. The customary toasts were pledged, and the afternoon was spent in a most enjoyable manner. REFUSING DUTY-On the 19tb inst, at the Magistrates' Clerk's Office, before John Harvey, Esq, and the Rev. Morris Williams. Alexander Robertson, a seaman, was brought up in custody by Acting P.S. Michael Carroll, charged by Daniel McDonald, master of the brigantine 'Volant,' bound from N"wport, Mon., to Barcelona, with refusing duty on the 18th inst, at the Port of Milford. The defendant was committed to the House of CorrecLion without hard labour. SUDDKN DEATH OF THE REV. C. RAWLINGS, WES- LEYAN MINISTER.—It is with deep regret we announce the sudden demise of this able and devoted minister. On his return home ahout 5 p m. on Friday evening, the 14th inst, he was seized with a violent pain in the chest, and dted almost immediately afterwards to the inexpressible grief of his family, and the regret of the Wesleyan body generally. He was an earnest, pious, and eloquent preacher, and was most successful in his ministrations at Swansea. DUNGLEDDY PETTY SESSIONS.—-These sessions were held at Cross Inn on Tuesday, before James Hiegon Esq, Captaiu Philipps, and the Rev James Philipps' P S. Edward Irving charged James Davies, George Jones, John Davie*, William Davies, John Morgan and John Palmer, all ofLangum, fishermen, with having' on the 26th of June, 1865, unlawfully used a certain fixed engine to take fish in the East Cleddy, in the parish of Slebech. The case against James Davies was first beard. Complainant deposed to being on duty on the 26th ult, and seeing defendant mooring his boat in the East Cleddy: the boat was in the centre of the river, fastened by a grabble to the shore on one side of the river, and by an anchor on the other: hewas fishing with a compass net over the side of the boat. Benjamin Thomas, gamekeeper at Slebech Park, corroborated the last witness's evidence. The defendant was fined £2, and 18s lid costs, to be paid in a fortnight, or a distress to issue, and in default of sufficient distress, three months in the House of Correction.—The case of George Jones was next called on, and the same evidence adduced as in the first case, with the following addition --George Aokman, of Blackpool Mill, deposed to being in com- pany with Sergeant Irving, on the 26th ult. He was lying down in Picton boat-house, and saw defendant's cua>pa8s net fixed, and the boat fastened to each side of Fined'Js* defendant was fishing when he saw him. a distres^'t^1188 lld C08U' to be Paid in a fortnight, or dar months ITdofa.ul* of stress, three calen- deteudants pleaded KiiiitJ186 ?

PRESENTATION TO THE REV. T. AULT, OF CANNINGTON. [We extract the following report of the presentation of a testimonial to the Rev T. Ault, (the recently appointed Curate of St. Mary's), on his leaving the curacy of Cannington, from the Bridgeicater Standard, ot May 31, 1865] — On Thursday evening last a very gratifying pre- sentation took place at Cannington on the occasion of the departure of the Rev T. Ault, curate of that place, for Wales, where he has accepted another appointment. A very crowded meeting of all classes of the parishioners was held in one of the rooms in Cannington House, over which Mr. Clement Hembry presided, supported by C. T. P. Metcalfe, Esq., the Rev T. Ault, Rev T. N. Irwin, Rector of Charlynch, Rev Mr Hnrman, Independent Minister, and friends. Messrs E. and P. Hembry. Mr S. Shepherd, Mrs Shepherd and family, Messrs. Johnson, Rood, Leigh, H. Tucker, the Misses Tucker, Mr J. Parks and friends, Mrs Powells, Miss Emery,' Mr Cox, Mr and Mrs Reynolds, &c., &c. The number of persons present was estimated at nearly two hundred. The proceedings commenced by the election of the Chairman, for which office Mr Clement Hembry was chosen. C. T. P. Metcalfe, Esq., of Clifford Lodge, then presented the testimonial to the Rev T. Ault, It consisted of a purse made by Mr S. Shepherd's family, and containing thirty-five sovereigns subscribed by the parishioners the testimonial was accompanied by a written address. Mr Metcalfe said I hardly expected to be called upon to speak on this occasion. I must ask the indulgence of the meeting in dis- charging the duties I am called upon to perform. The great number which comprises this assembly surprises me it is to me an unspeakeable pleasure to see so many of the parishioners present, and, when we call to mind the occasion of our meeting, it may be truly said it is something to point a moral and adorn a tale. It reminds me of our meeting in this room last September, when we assembled to show our sympathy with Mr Taylor, as we now do with Mr Ault under similar circumstances. Happily in this free country of England we can enjoy the privi leges of holding these public meetings, and I doubt not they are very beneficial in restraining the wrong doer, as well as in many other ways. I am glad to see such a large meeting here this evening, for it shows that good feelings grow as they are exeicised. Pope says The proper study of mankind is man," and it has been said by an enlinent writer that in the awful mystery of human life it is a consolation sometimes to believe that our mistakes, perhaps even our sins, are permitted to be instruments of our education for immortality.' I know that you deeply regret that these church affairs should have called us together twice within one year but perhaps it may be regarded as a part of oar education, and a trial of our faith, and as such I look upon this as an educa- tional meeting, and I trust we shall not go home with- out having learned the fact that nothing is perfect here below. The human mind appears to have been much the same in all ages. In former times it was said of a man that' the words of his mouth were smoother than butter, but war was in his heart: his words were softer than oil, yet were they drawn swords The task before us is how to correct this deceitful working of the mind, so that we may all learn to practice the golden precept taught us by our Lord, namely, Whatsoever you would that man should do to you even so do to them.' It is true that Mr Ault has not been here more than eight months, but it is quite long enough for us to learn his character as stated in our address to him. I will only add on this point that he has not only gained the affection and esteem of all classes of the parishioners,' but that he has been of great service to many of the sick and afflicted, from his knowledge of medicine and surgery. We have met to present Mr Ault with an address thanking him for his good services amongst us, and at the same time to give him an elegant purse containing £35, to assist him in his travelling ex- penses. and as a suitable proof of our regard for him. I cannot sit down without saying that I feel sure our treasurer (Mr S. Shepherd) and his worthy family, who have so kindly collected this money, wish the names of all the contributors to be seen, in order that you may be quite satisfied that they have rendered a true account of all your bounty, and, as such, they deserve our warmest thanks—(cheers). Mr Metcalfe then presented the address and purse of sovereigns to Mr Ault; the address was as follows:- Cannington, May 26tb, 1865. Rev Sir,—We bear with regret that it is your in- tention to resign your position as curate of this parish. During the short time that you have been amongst us we have been particularly struck with the kind and courteous demeanour which has characterized your dealings with us. We have observed with much pleasure the zeal and piety with which you have laboured here in promoting the moral and religious improvement of our parish and thus gained the affection and esteem of all classes of the parishioners. In preach- ing to us the Gospel of Christ we trust that the good seed sown will, by God's blessing, produce its own good fruit; and it is our warmest prayer that the Author of all Good will give you His own reward. We wish you many prosperous and happy years, and be assured that go where you may you will not only carry with you our gratitude, but also our fervent desires for your welfare and prosperity.' The address was signed by upwards of twn hundred parishioners. The Rev. T. Ault responded. He said: Mr Chairman, my dear friends,—I stand before you this evening with a heart full of emotion and with mixed feelings of pleasure and pain. Your great kindness and sympathy give me joy, but the thought that I am about to bid you farewell gives me pain. From the first day I came amongst you to the present moment you have shown me and mine all the aid and sympathy man can expect from man. At your hands I have received nothing but kindness, but to-night you have concentrated your accumulated kindness. In the address just read and signed so numerously (about 200 signa- tures), you have expressed your sincere regard towards me, and by the handsome purse you have given most satisfactory evidence that your ex- pressed regard is genuine. Words can never truthfully and adequately express feelings, hence I cannot inform you how I feel at this moment. My heart 13 full. Pray accept my sincere and heartfelt thanks for your great kindness. I came here as a perfect stranger, and have laboured in my poor and imperfect way among you but a very limited time, and during this time I have had to contend with difficulty, and therefore this evening's manifestation is doubly affecting. You will be pleased to know that the opinion you formed of my ministry harmonizes with the opinion of many kind friends in my last curacy. Before I left them the following address (intended to he tastefully inscribed on vellum with illuminated capitals) and several other tokens of love now before you were presented to me. As the address has been much talked of I will read it to you :—' Rev. Sir, We the under-signed, the members of the congregation and parishioners of St. Leonard's Church, Bilston, beg to assure you of the deep regret we all feel at your leaving the parish in which you have ministered for the last two years. The earnest and affectionate zeal which has so happily charac- terized your setting forth of the Divine Message it is your high commission to deliver, the combined simplicity, fulness, and power with which you have proclaimed the all-embracing love of Jesus as the Redeemer and Shepherd of His Church will we know, not only through the lives of many bear fruit to His glory, but by the operation of His grace have added to those jewels which will adorn through eternity their Saviour's crown of rejoicing. We shall long and gratefully remember the clearness of your teaching, especially in opening out obscure and difficult passage* of Holy Writ, and showing thew to be full of instruction, consolation and light, Although we thus first notice your public labours, we recall with a deeper and more abiding sense of regretful thankfulness the heart- winning ready and affectionate manner in which you have discharged that most difficult responsible pastoral duty, the visitation of the flock, and parti- cularly those 'in sickness, poverty, or other adversity.' This duty you have performed with that lofty impartiality and disregard of those worldly distinctions which is the Church's beauty and strength, following herein the steps of our Great Example, who, while found with the givers and rulers of feasts, was still oftener found in those houses where nought was offered the guest but a welcome. I must inform you that such unusual Kinaness, appreciation, and honour I cannot and do not take to myself. I feel utterly unworthy of it: my language is Who am I, 0 Lord God, and what is my house that thou has brought me hitherto?' and hence I take this evening's mani- festation of love as an evidence of your regard and appreciation of the great and glorious truths I am ordained to declare. May the Truth, the Gospel, have its full effects on all our hearts, may the Throne of Jesus be there erected, His sceptre swayed, and our spirit regenerated by the Holy Spirit, and our whole life one continued act of devotion to God and man. Ultimately this regard for truth shall triumph, and she shall be enthroned in all her queenly grandeur, and shall with a liberal hand dispense her varied blessings to fallen humanity. Thank God, religion, the Gospel, salvation by Jesus, is not that distorted, hideous, cold, unkind, limited, and unfeeling thing some would have 118 believe. The Gospel is beautiful an grand, a manifestation of Omnipotent love, and no bigotry notam-11 k-°WS n° SeCt> The truth U y these are man s inventions. then noJVni;1;Let 7™ and 1 the truth.

What a very different village this would be, and what a very different world this would be were the kindly feeling you are manifesting this evening towards me the universal feeling of man to man. The Gospel effects love to God and man. I do hope and pray that the Gospel seed I have very im- perfectly sown in this place may take deep root in many hearts, and yield abundant fruit to God's glory. In the name of my Master I have preached, lectured to you about 100 times and made nearly 600 visits, and now J am called upon to bid you farewell, and I do this with no small amount of emotional feeling, still we must remember that as long as we remain mortal separations must take place. the clergy will be separated from the people and the people from the clergy, friend from friend, parent from child, and child from parent, hence may we all so live that we may rest in hope of a reunion in the Paradise of God. I know your hearts will rejoicd to hear that I anticipate grea comfort and blessing in my new sphere of labour. ] am very shortly to join a man of God whose wholt life is devoted to work and whose hands I hope tl strengthen. We are to co-operate in the Master's work and endeavour by all fair means to win souh to Jesus. May we have success. I cannot closc these remarks without again thanking you for yotu Christian kindness. Accept my heartfelt gartitudr and prayers. I also wish publicly to thank th( Rev. the Rector of Charlynch (whose presence here this evening has given unknown pleasure) for his unbounded love and aid on my behalf. Often have I gone to him in sadness, seeking for council and comfort, and with all readiness and sincerity he has effectually ministered to my wants. Also several other clergy in the neighbourhood have been most kind, in fact I may say the whole parishioners of Cannington and neighbourhood. May He who notices all things, the God of love, and Jesus, the highest manifestation of His love; may the Trinity, the Tribune God, reward you, bless you, save you and re-unite us in another world, where loving hearts are never severed; tears, want, and the grave are unknown. Amen. The Rev. T. N. Irwin, at the request of the chairman, addressed a few earnest and appropriate remarks to the meeting, and expressed the great pleasure he felt in being present on the occasion. He trusted that the fruit of their dear friend's ministry among them would spring up and bear testimony to the work he had been engaged in. He highly approved of this friendly manifestation of the parishioners' feelings towards their curate, and exhorted them to extend such love and good will amongst themselves. The Rev. B. Hurman [Independent Minister] addressed the meeting, and bore testimony to the good qualities and earnest labours of Mr Ault. Mr Cox and Mr Shepherd also addressed the meeting, and votes of thanks were then passed to Mr Parke for the use of the room, and to the Chairmen and the Collectors. The Doxology was then sung. and the blessing having been given the meeting separated, the Rev. Mr Ault being loudly cheered, on leaving the house, by the assembled villagers.—idgewater Standard, May 31st, 1865.

TEN B Y. On Saturday last a demonstration was made on the arrival of Sir Hugh Owen at Tenby. A couple of bands attended the procession, and a short address was delivered by Sir Hugh, which was well received. ST. FLORBNCE.CONCKRT.-The annual concert in connection With the school at St. Florence, will take place on Tuesday, the lSih of August. This entertainment has always been exceedingly popular, ar.d we doubt not will be as largely patronised as on any former occasion. DISCOVERY OF IRON ORE AT PFivAt,Lr.-Mr Vicker- man, an enterprising gentleman, residing at Saundersfoot, had for some time been employing a number of men at Penally in boring for iron ore, hUt. Without success, until Monday last. when in a field adjoining the barrack, they were fortunate enotiirh to find what thev sought for in great abundance. The manager has already taken up half a ton of ore, which is of a rich and valuable kind. BALL.—A Ball took place on Monday, the 19th inst, at the Gate House Assembly Rooms. C. Allen, Esq, and Captain Brook, stewards. This is the first ball that has taken place since the al'erations have been made in the rooms. The attendance was good and but one opinion was expressed about the improvements by every one, and we are sure all must have been thankful for increased room, better lightingi and effective ventilation. We only hope Mr Gregory's spirited speculation will pay as it deserves to. POLIOR COURT.—On the 17th instant, before N. J. Dunn, Esq, and Henry Sanders. Esq, magistrates, John Swanctiit wa«t charged by Gustavus Albert Browne, fruiterer1 with having assaulted him.

Amount of damage paid, with costs, 3s.—William Roberts, book- binder, charged William John with having assaulted him. Discharged on payment of costs.

THE WELSH MEMORIAL. Our last week's impression contained some account of the proposed Inauguration of the Welsh Memorial. The following circular has been issued containing some .further information on the subject The Welsh Memorial to the Prince Consort is erected on the summit of Tenby Castle Hill, an appropriate peculiarly beautiful and picturesque spot, from which is seen the whole of Carmarthen Bay, and the entrance to the British Channel, together with portions of the counties of Pembroke, Carmarthen, Brecon, Glamorgan, Somerset, and Devon. The Memorial consists of a beautiful colossal Statute in Sicilian marble, on a Pedestal of native limestone. The base of the Pedestal consists of three tiers of massive blocks of stone, the lowest tier being twenty-three and a half feet square. On each of the four sides of the shaft of the Pedestal is inserted a panel of white marble on the one to the south is sculptured the arms of the Prince Consort; on the north, those of Wales; on the west, the following inscription, in Welsh and English,— Albert the Good, Consort of our beloved Queen, Victoria;' and on the east, the Dragon of Wales, with a monogram of the Queen and Prince Consort, under which will be placed an inscription, giving the date of the inauguration, &c. The Pedestal was designed by the sculptor, and built by Mr Thomas, of Pembroke, under the superintendence of Mr H. Maule Ffinch. It is admirable both in point of design and workmanship. When finished, it will form a noble monument of Welsh loyalty and nationality to departed worth. His Royal Highness Prince Arthur, with his suite, will arrive at Tenby on the evening of Tuesday, August 1st. On the following day at twelve o'clock, the nobility, clergy, gentry, and people of Wales, will be ready to attend the Prince from his Hotel to the Memorial on the Castle Hill. An Address will then be presented to the Prince, and the Statute uncovered. The Volunteeis from the neighbouring counties will line the streets through which the procession passes. As soon as the procession reaches the Hill, the Volunteers will follow, and assist in keeping the ground immediately round the Statue which will be reserved for the Subscribers and their friends, The large space and extensive ivalks on the Castle Hill, beyond this incolsure, will be open to the publio at a nominal charge. All Subscribers to the fund of at least one pound will receive a free ticket of admission to the reserved space. Snbscribers of five pounds and upwards will receive two free tickets. Subscribers may obtain extra tickets for the admission of their families and friends, at a charge of half-a-guinea. A luncheon will be given, after the inauguration, to the Prince, Lord-Lieutenants, Sheriffs, Members of Parliament, and Mayors of Wales, at the Gate House Assembly Rooms, at two p.m., to which a limited number of other persons will also be admitted, on payment of a guinea. The Great Western and Pembroke and Tenby Railway Companies have agreed to run special trains for that day. For further information, apply to either of the Honorary Secretaries, Mr R. Mason, Tenby, cr Mr T. Rees, Tredegar House, Tenby. As we have before said the Memorial will in every way be worthy of the great memory we seek to honour, and worthy of the people who thus render homage to departed worth. departed worth.
