PEMBROKESHIRE. I HAVERFORDWEST.—PEMBROKESHIRE BATTALION- OF VOLUNTEERS.—There will be a mdster of this bat- talion on the afternoon of Wednesday, the 1st of June, at Portfield. PEMBROKE, TBNBY, AND WHITLAND EXTENSION RAILWAY.—Our readers are aware that this projected line, which would be most valuable to a large and im- portant district of the county, is threatened with opposi- tion in the Committee of the House of Commons. The opponeats are a triumvirate of corporations. There is first some powder company, which has a small powder house within sight of the line, or at least within hear- ing of the passing trains. What the ground or motive of opposition caa "ce on the part of this company, it is not easy to cocfssiura, unless, indeed, it be to advertise their, wares. e cornea the Carmarthen and Cardigan Railway Company, which, it it has a loclt. standi, is not a very dangerous or much to be dreaded enemy and the third and chief opponent is the Great Western Rail- way Company. The opposition of this powerful cor- poration will be formidable, whatever be the merits of the case on which it relies, on accou it of the great Parliamentary influence it can command. It is much to be desired, therefore, for the interests of this county, and for the pockets of the shareholders, that the two companies would adjust their differences before incur- ring the heavy expense of Parliamentary contest. Mr Davies, one of the contractors of the proposed railway, in a Jaumerous epeech recently delivered by him in the presence of Mr Potter, the chairman of the Great West- ern DompanYt suggested that he and Mr Potter should settle the quarrel between the companies forthwith. An admirable suggestion, although spoken in jest When two men of undoubted integrity, honest, shrewd, and intelli- gent, like Messrs. Potter and Davies, meet to adjust differences, the dispute soon terminates. We scarcely know what is the real ground of opposition of the Great Western Railway Company, but we believe it is the battle of tlie guagea over again. The Great Western Railway Directors, however, have given a proof of re- turning alOdratiQIJ and good feeling, in calling a meet- ing of the shareholders for Friday week, to consider, and if thought fit, to approve of certain Bills now pending in Parliament, and among these Bills to be approved of, if the shareholders shall think fit, is the proposed exten- sion line from Tenby to Whitland. It is to be hoped that wise and moderate counsels will prevail at that meeting, and that the Great Western Bailway proprie- tors will not show themselves hostile to the interests of a county, the resources of which, if they understood their own interesttl rightly, they would develope to the utmost. The Directors have acted prudently in thus throwing the onus of opposition on the shareholders; every shareholder from this district ought to feel it his duty to attend that meeting, to urge and support the abandonment -of the opposition.— Telegraph. MFEMTAAL OFFICER FOR MILFORD DISTRICT.—The usual meeting of the Board of Guardians of the Ha ver- fordwettt Union was held at the Board Room on Wed- nesday. J. A. Ll. Philipps, Esq., of Dale Castle, in the chair. The principal business was the appointment of a medical officer for the Milford District, in the place ot the lata Mr. Feild. There were two candidates, Mr George Griffiths, Milford, who was in partnership with Mt-Feild up to the time of his death and Mr G. Jenkyn Thomas, of Church-street, Pembroke-Dock. Mr Griffiths was proposed by the Rev. Octaviua Leach, and se- conded by the Hon R. Fulke Greville. Mr. Thomas was proposed by Mr. Wm. Owen, and seconded by Captain Butler. The foUowinar are the votes- For Mr. Griffiths 58 For Mr. Thomas 32 Majority for Mr. Griffiths. 26 MAEN*CLOIQHOG.-FAIIL. -This fair was held on the I;r(1 itist. The supply of cattle and sheep was numefous, with eprisk demand, at the usual prices. The horse fa-irl was small, but good nags met with a ready sale. On the whole the fair passed off well. KILGERR^N.—-COMPETITION MEETING.—On Mon- day evening last, a competitive meeting was held at the Baptist Chapel, in this place, under the presidency of Griffith Griffiths, Esq. There was a very large atten- dån6e; thchap4Übeing filled to excess. The Rev. T. Jones* F.C.S.; iflaenywaun, and Mr Jones (Edeyrn), Hechrhyd, officiated as adjudicators on the essays and poetry. At the close of the meeting the last-named gantleoaan having dwelt shortly upon the utility of such meetings, proposed that an eisteddfod of some impor- .t^ppe, should, be-held at the Tivyside in the course of the apiunva. It was received by the meeting with acclama- matioa. and we understand that steps are being taken to secure the services pfmany influential gentlsmen in 'these neighbourhoods to aid in the furtherance of the ect i,i view.

I L) 3 WORTHIES OF PEMBROKESHIRE. I Last week we gave the first part of Mr B. T. Williams's able and very interesting lecture at Milford, on Four worthies of Pembrokeshire." The firot-part is on Giral- Cainbrefiaia and Hepry VII. We may here mention that Mr T. Purnell, a native of Pernbrokpshire, is enga- god iu,writing.a life of Giraldus Cambrensis. The second part, which we now give, 18 on Sir John Perrott and Sir .Thomas Pioton. M1 Williams,, on ent, ering upon .this part of his lecture, faid': 'Pefrott is a name that is familiar "to,u.s in thiacounty. The illustrious man whose life weare now going to consider. founded at Haverfordwest a trust for the benefil of that town, an account of the administration of. which is to be seen occasionally in our county papers. An elaborate life of Sir John Perrott, the Lord-Lieuten- ant of Queen Elizabeth in Ireland-for which abundant ?p>atorials exist-would be a task worthy of the attention ,oS^ny one who has sufficient time or ability to under- take it. I do not exaggerate facts when I say that 811 dii:rl i str,,  tor of the ?iJoha Perrott was a statesman and administrator of tho f highest order, and that he was in all respects one of tho moatabfe. and remarkable men that Queen Elizabeth had in ner service. I must say for myself that a cursory stady of his wonderful life has filled me with admiration, and also with surprise that this brave old hero of the past is so little known in the present. If a student 01 Carlylewaata a subject to exemplify the doctrines of his master, he would -firld a worthy one in this strong man, who knew no featînthe discharge of duty, who saw with a clear eye what was the right thing to do, and who did it with a will,—in this stout knight with his handsome, muscular, and gigantic body, his power- ul nuudj pad btare IhQgt- Of <41 mo, tiwi A fewe ever heard of, this seems to me to be the greatest hero that Pembrokeshire has ever produced. His sphere of action was circumscribed, but that was the misfortune of his life. What he did, he did so thoroughly and with such ability, that one is constrained to allow that here is a man who could have risen equal to any position in which he might have been placed. Who would have ruled England as well as he did Ireland, and who would have been known to posterity as a far greater man, if he had only enjoyed greater opportunities. The Perrott family occupied a position of the first importance in this county for four hundred years previous to the birth of Sir John. Stephen Perrott came into Pembrokeshire in the reign of Henry I., and had the lordship of Nar- berth allotted to him. He married the daughter of a descendant of Howell-dda, the great Lawgiver of Wales. Their grandson, Sir Andrew Perrott, erected the castle at Narberth, the ruins of which are now to be seen. A descendant married a daughter of Sir Richard Harold, of Haroldstone, and the family made this place their principal abode for several genera- tions. Here was a family that had in it a vitality and increasing importance. By various marriages with great families,—with the Pictons, the Wogans, and others, their possessions and influence increased. Sir John Perrott mus1. have been in his time the most powerful man in Pembrokeshire. Wyrriott and others made complaints to the Privy Council about him, and said that his sway was so great that no one in these parts could have redress of their grievances against him. A writer who appears to have known him well and to have loved him much, thus describes our hero: Sir John Perrott was a man in stature very tall and big, exceeding the ordinary stature of men by much, and almost equal to the mightiest men that lived in his time. His body was very compact and proportionable through all the parts. As he did excelled most men in stature, so did he in strength df body. His hair was auburn until it grew grey in his elder years. His countenance was full of majesty, his e}'e marvellous, piercing and carrying a commanding aspect, insomuch that when he was angry he had a very terrible visage or look, and when he was pleased or wil- iing to shew kindness, he then had as amiable a coun- tenance as any man. His conditions and qualties of his mind were answerable and did keep a kind of corres- pondence with those of hi, body, for as he did surpass most men in greatness and comeliness of his stature, so did he surmount the most part of men of his time in the great- ness and magnanimity of mind. He was of an undaunted spirit, never regarding his adversaries were they never so many or so great In time of danger, he always shewed himself resolute and valiant. Hehad a very sharp wit and was naturally wise And then his quaint old biographer, who wrote about the latter end of tho reign of Elizabeth, gives him another great virtue when h-J says that, he was very firm and faithful unto his friends" After having received a good edu- cation, at the age of eighteen, in the latter part of the reign of Henry VIII. Perrott went to London to the house of the Marquis of Winchester, who was the Lord Treasurer of England. Here he met a very choleric and powerful young gentleman in the per. son of Lord Abergavenny, who was the terror of his com- peers but in Perrott he found more than a match, so that the gentlemen and servants of the house used to bring the tyrannical young ward to book by threatening to put Perrott upon him! It was by his personal daring that he found a way to the Court. He met one evening in Southwark two of the King's Yeomen of the Guard, and bravely had a stout fight with them. King Henry hearing of the audacity of this young Welshman, sent for him, and had out of him the story of his birth and country. The King was so pleased with him that he promised him preferment at Court. Henry soon after wards died, but Edward took as great a liking to Perrott as his father had done, and at his coronation made him one of the Knights of the Bath. He went to France with the Marquis of Southampton to negotiate the pro- ooned marriage betwern Edward and the daughter of the French King; and there again we have a story of him, which is very significant of his fearless character They went out one day to hunt the wild boar, and it happened that the boar made an attack upon one of thl) gentlemen engaged in the chase, which Sir John Perrott perceiv- ing, ran to his rescue, and with his sword gave the boar such a blow that he nearly severed his head from his shoulders. The French King saw this, and he was YJ pleased with the feat that his Majesty ran up to Perroit and embraced him with congratulations round tue middle. Perrott did not understand this, and thought that the King wished to try his strength with him. Perrott accordingly swung his powerful arms round the royal person, and lifted him like a child off the ground. At this, we are told, the French King wa3 not displeased, but offered Perrott a pension or a place at Court, which he declined. During three years Perrott lived a life of gaiety and splendour, so much so, to use the words of his biographer. "that he began to mortgage his lauds, and yet did owe some seven or eight thousand pounds, being like to Alexander the Great in this, who against his expedition into Persia did put most part of his pos- sessions (belonging to the crown of Macedon) in pawn and being asked what he left behind him, answered Hope!—an unsatisfactory margin, some might say. But in Perrott's case it was now converted into a sub- stantial reality, because the royal favour supplied him I with sufficient means to pay all his debts, and ever after- wards he lead a frugal life, restraining his expenditure within his income, though he kept up in his retinue and his house in a most liberal manner the high position which he occupied. Queen Mary had a strong liking for Perrott, thoughishe knew that he was a Protestant, or, as she expressed it, that he did smell of the smoke. Because he harboured in his house in Pembrokeshire Nowell and other Protestants, he was committed to the state prison, but he was soon released. He had enlightened opinions on matters of conscience, for those times. The Earl of Pembroke wished Perrott to see th.t no Protestants were harboured in Wales, and to this i suggestion Perrott answered :—" Good, my Lord; I hope you know you may command my life and my living, yet lay not that burden on me, but leave me to enjoy my conscience, and I will not willingly meddle with other men's consciences." At this time Perrott was vei-y anxious to get from the Crown a grai t of Carew Castle, which had, on the attainder of Grufydd up Rhys, in the reign of Henry VIII., fallen into its possession. But the Queen was so much vexed with his heresy and with his quarrel with the liurl of Pembroke, that when he came to press his suit upon her she would scarcely loolt upon him, notwithstanding a previous promise made by her Majesty tojhiin. Perrott saw this, and pressed ,o near to the Queen in his daring way that he fell upon part of her tqtin as she was about to go away frcm him. When Mary Saw this she got very indignant, and said, What, Perrott, will you offer violence to our person r" Thereupon," we are told, "he sought pardon for his boldness, but she departed with much indignation." Eventually, however, ho succeeded in his suit, and Carew was granted to him for a term, and he made it his home for the remainder of his life, -a home to which he was ever glad to return, but which his duties to the State gave him but little time to enjoy Then the change .takes jplace. Elizabeth, one of the greatest of England's sovereigns, asceads tho throne. Perrott, who had been suspected and imprisoned by Mary, was soon recognised as a trusty servant by the keen eie of her sister and successor. The reign of Elizabeth and the Pr(.)tectorttelof Cromwell are characterised by thics, that those two rulers surrounded themselves with the best and bravest men that England could produce in their times. The true eye of genius can find the right man for the right place; and while this is always exem- plified when there is a wise Prince upon the throne, the reign of a weak monarch is always signalised by the presence of incompetent men in positions of trust and importance in the State. Perrott was honoured at the coronation of Elizabeth,—" He was appointed one of the four to carry the canopy of state over the Queen." In 1572, he is put into active service, is made Lord Presi- dent of Muuster, in lrelaud. and has an opportunity of showing to the world what stuff is in him. Ireland was then in a chronic state of rebellion. The great Irish lords had never fully acknowledged the supremacy of the English Crown the country had not been divided completely into counties, in many places there were no magistrates, no sheriffs, and no representatives whatever of the imperialluw and authority, the whole of Ireland ws one great chaos of rebellion, treason, war, disorder and lawlessness. We shall see how much Sir John Perrott, both as Lord President of Munster, and as Lord- Deputy, or as we would say as Lord Lieutenant of Ire- land, did to bring this country into a state of obedience to the law, and of general prosperity. His whole policy was one of determined action. He hit hard, pressed unceasingly upon the enemies of peace, and then con- solidate.d what he had done. The province of Munster especially, of which Perrott was now madeLord President, was in a state ot the greatest disorder owing to me rebellion of the Earl of Desmond. We cannot go into the full account of tho bold and able course now pursued by Perrott, the result of which was the entire suppression of this treason. We are told that lie had a clever way of arraugiu: tll.) Irish Lords who were on his sido when they went to battle. He placed them in the centre of their companies, telling them, as his biographer relates, That he was not willing to expose them to the uttermost danger, which he did out of this politic consideration,—knowing that thereby the Lords, if any of them were ill-minded or fearful, should be kept in from running away When the rebel commander was pushed to extremities he wished to settle the matter by single combat with Sir John Perrott, who replied that "althouh he knew him to be his inferior in all respects, yet he would reckon it a life well adventured to bereve such a rebel of hili life." But when the time arrived the Irish hero de- clined to enter the lists, and the war was renewed with increased energy. It need not be said that Perrott's personal bravery was undoubted. It amounted to reck- lessness of life, for in every battle he could not be re- strained from rushing to the front and into the very neat of the contest. At length Fitz-Morris, the head of the Irish troops, was completely subdued. We are told that He was forced to seel, and sue for pardon, offering to submit himself to the Queeu's mercy, which at length the Lord President did consent iiato, and Jaines Fitz-Morris came to Hillmallach, where in the church the Lord President caused him to lie prostrate, taking the point of the Lord President's sword next to his heart, ia tokeu that be had received his life at the Queen's hands by submitting himself unto her morcy. Munster was now reduced to a state of peace.—The Kl'l of Warwick was ever a fast friend of Sir John Perrott, and he thus addressed his lordship on the suppression of the rebellion of Fitz-Morris "i have now, I thank God, in the end, compassed that which I was sent hither for, in bringing her Majesty's subjects here to obedi- ence, as I trust her Highness may stand satisfied therewith; for I know not any kerne abroad at this present hour, neither need. any man fear to travel through any part of this province without weapon or assurance. The idle sort fall as fast unto the plough as they were wont to run into mischief." But in those days the necessary results of favor at Court and success in the "ervice of the State were the false calumnies and the persecutions of the courtiers that surrounded the throne. Already were serious accusations made by envious rivals against the conduct of Sir John Perrott. Throughout his successful life he had to contend with them, until at last, like many other brave men of his time, they triumphed over him. But conscious of his own integrity, he was able thus to write to the Earl of Sussex as he quitted the Lord Presidency of Munster: "That your Lordship hath known me, I am sure, these twenty-six years at the least, during which time you never knew me do any dishonest deed." On his return to London, Perrott expected to find the Queen not disposed to give him a favourable reception but contrary to the expectations of himself and others, and contrary to the hopes of some, Elizabeth highly commended the conduct of her faithful and trusty servant, and wished to send him back again to his late charge. Perrott, however, wanted to rest a little in his home in this county, and begged to be excused from entering into active service at once. In the meantime, he placed before Her Majesty a scheme for the administration of the government and the preservation of peace in Munstsr, which hows that he was not only an able General, but also a great Statesman. This scheme embraces suggestions for the advancement of the Church, the administration of law, the settlement of disputes about land, the survey of the country, the liberties of towns, the taxas, the summoning of a Parliament, and the Mint. Nothing can prove more conclusively the great abilities of which this man was possessed than his suggesfciots with regard to the government of Ireland. He now retires in great state to his home in Carew Castle. Ho lived more like a prince than a private gentleman tnd his grandeur awakened the jealousy of this county at that time in truth, during his stay here, Perrott was in hot water. The Earl of Essex used occasionally, then, to live at Lamphey; and the local contentions between him and Perrott wore hot and unceasing for as his biographer observes-" So is it usual that ii most places, personages of best quality and reputation are divided in love and sometimes separated fiom all mutual society by such as (to serve their own turns) are always so apt to nourish contention betwixt men of best calling and condition whereof if thj better sort be not wise enough to take heed, they car. hardly eschew the harm." Perrott had from the Crown a lease of years only of Carew Castle. He evidently regarded the old home of his family at Harroldstone with great affection and he exchanged for the lands of the Old Priory at Haverfordwest, the lordship of Hubberston, and the lands of Priory Pill, of which ho was possessed It will be interesting for you to know that Perrott was at one time the proprietor of what we now call the Milford Estate. He conveyed it to the Barlows, of Slebech, for their Priory lands at Haver- fordwest. It thus came into the possession of Sir Wm. Hamilton, through his marriage with Miss Barlow, of Colby—a branch of the Barlows of Slebech. We must now pass over various incidents in the momentous life of this wonderful man—over his sudden call to command a fleet-his hearty reception-over the perils of the sea through which he passed—over the slanders which were spread about him during his absence—over Wyrriott's accusations and persecutions—over the in- quiry mad e by the judges at Haverfordwest, at Wyr- riott's instigation, by order of some members of tho Privy C >uricil (a strange and unconstitutional proceed- ing) and the complete failure of his persecutors to prove any part of their accusations—over his action against Wyrriott for his malicious prosecution, and his recovering £1,000 damages—until he received one of tho most difficult appointments that the Crown bad to give in those days—that of Lord-Deputy or Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland. T e Earl of Ormond lauded at Milford on his way to London, and there heard of the appoint- ment of Perrott to the Lord-Lieutenancv. He went to stay with him at Carew, and returned with him to Ireland. They took ship at Milford Haven and arrived at Dublin in January, 1583, and then the old work had to be renewed. He had first to take the sword in hand before he could consolidate peace. Perrott did not com- mit the management of affairs to others, h" incessantly did the work himself, if there was hard work to be done in any part of the country—if there was a difficult ques- tion of right to settle, or a stubborn rebellion to put down, he went himself from his vice-regal couit at Dublin and did it. After reciting the difficulties he had to meet on his arrival, his biographer writes thus: "All these perils and imminent combustions he did overcome and pacified within less than ten weeks, settling the hearts and estates of the good subjects, subdued or expelled the bad, took pledges for all such as wore sus- pected, compounded ail controversies betwixt the great lords, drew the Northern Lords to a composition for the maintenance of 12,000 soldiers,and passed througti the five provinces in less than quarter ot a year." He put down the high prete Isions of the .Irish lords which were inconsistent with the Queen's supremacy—-constituted a Parliament—divided the whole of Ulster into shires- appointed magistrates—entered into amicable negotia- tions with the King of Scotland, and had, after all, time to use his position to keep a watch over the ifiovements of Spain, England's great enemy at that time. He sent t;picti to various parts of the continent and reported the results of his enquiries to the English court. But, not- withstanding the great success of the great efforts which 110 was making to serve his Queen and country, the tide of slander and maiice was surrounding him. Advantage was taken of his absence to instil into Elizabeth's mind a bad opinion of her able and favourite servant. His arbi- trary manner and aspiring disposition were the meaus winch his calumniators used toodetracUfroin his merits. Gradually, his position in Ireland is made more and more disagreeable, He is directed how to act in mutters of which he has better knowledge than anyone else,-his firm policy is condemned because he insisted that the great lords should take the oath of supremacy, his power is restrained. Perrott knew the malice that was at work against him. He had himself an honest hatred for slander, andjust about this time a case of this kind came before him. A complaint was made against Sir Henry Harrington wiiich he was commanded by Perrott to answer at Dublin. On the appointed day, F äniugtrJ:l and his accusers came there, out it turned out that the charges were all false and malicious, whereupon Perrott said :—" I am glad that this Sir Henry Harrington hath purged himself so well But because he hath been wrongfully accused, as he should have been sharply punishedjif it,had^been "proved, so I know no cause but that those which have siandered^him should be made to know andIto confess tlwirslanders, Thereiore my censure is that these accusers shall publicly confess their faults in accusing him falsely, and that too in the Church whero Sir Henry Harrington d.»elleth also that they shall remain in prison until they be wi] Ill/ to make this confession and satisfaction in some other places." I must not forget here to mention an incident, which it is .important to remember on account of the light which it throws upon the subsequent fate of Perrott. While he was Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, a Priest Sir Dennis Rougnan (whose name had great prominence I at l'errutl s tn;d)-was apprehended and convicted of counterfeiting the Lord Lieutenant's hand to certain warrants. This man, who confessed h inself guilty of the forgery, was afterwards the chief instrument by which Perrott's enemies were enabled to complete his overthrow. Weary of the treatment which he received from the government at home-after having adminis- tered the affairs of lrelaud for four years — he was successful in ootaiuing his recall home. Before leaving Dublin, he gave to the City a bowl, with his arms and the words Itclinquo in p-ace (I leave in peace) engraven upon it. We are told that at the day of his departure There were many noblemen and gentlemen of great worth come thither to take their leave of him also a great number of poor country people-some that dwelt twenty, some forty miles from Dublin, and many ot them that had never seen him before; yet they did strive and covet as he went through the streets, if they could not take him by the hand, yet to touch his garrnca,t-atl praying for him and for his long life. And when he asked them why they did so, they an- swered—' That they had never enjoyed their own with peace oeiore nis ti ue, and did doubt they should never do so again wnen he was gone.' Perrott re- turned to Care.v in great pomp and with a gallant retinue, in the year 1568. At this point, the interesting old book from wilich I have derived the principal materials of my foregoing account of Perrott's career, abruptly terminates. This biogriphy, which is very ably and eloquently written, was composed about the latter end of the reign of Elizabeth. The writer was evidently a friend of Perrott's, who, notwithstanding the calumnies which were at length accepted against him, entertained to the last a great admiration for his character. We can easily understand how it was that this faithful biographer did not go on farther with his history. He lived under the government which had already condemned Perrott; and to proceed further was either to offend that government or malign his friend. The narrative, therefore, here abruptly ends. But it contains in itself a sufficient vindication of Perrott and a sufficient indication of the writer's opinion that his subsequent trial (though he was then afraid to criticise it) was an unjust one. He traces the history of that private slander which eventually ef- fected his overthrow, and loads us to what we might expect from the unscrupulous malice of Perrott's enemies. This interesting old manuscript was pub- lished by Dr. li.awl.ison, in the year 1727. Before we leave this subject, we will look into the trial of Perrott (as reported in the State Trials, Tem. Eliz.) and into his last will lIe was tried at Westminster for high treason, on the 27th of April, 1592. there were two iadictmeats preferred egaiagt him; we charged him with a correspondence with tho King of Spain and traitors there, with the object of procuring -in invasion of England and in this indictment he was also charged with encouraging traitors to raise a rebellion in Ireland In the other indictment he was charged with corre sponding with the Duke of Parma and one Stanley- a rebel. The evidence for the prosecution was a, follow j:—Some witnesses were called who, more than four years ago, heard Perrott, in Ireland, utter in angei words of some disrespect to the Queen. They wen heard, after he had read some letters from Her Ma jesty, rebuking him for some conduct of his, which did not please her. The words are hasty: they show ex- cited temper; but there is no treason in them, even supposing that they had been proved to have been said. They were uttered when Perrott was at the risk of his own life successfully engaged in the service of the Crown, and no proof of anything conducive to treason could be got out of them. In these days this evidence would not be admitted at all; an 1 even if it were, it could not have the least weight with an intelligent jury j These witnesses were called to prove that Perrott had harboured traitors. Dennis Roughan, the Irish Priest, deposed that Perrott gave him letters to the King of Spain, soliciting him to invade this country. Other witnesses deposed to his correspondence with Parma, and with Stanley while he was in rebellion. We have seen how anxious Perrott was to keep a watch upon the movements of Spain. While he was Lord-Deputy of Ireland, he had spies in that country and on the Continent and the result of his enquires he reported to the Queen and used for the benefit 01 the State. His correspondence with foreigners 'is brought forward as the cnief proof of his treason, and not in proof of his zeal in the service of his country, as it ought to have been. The sole witness that proves anything like treason is Dennis Roughan—a name we already know- who, if his story- is true, must also have been a base traitor himself. Dennis was the- man whom Perrott had condemned of forging his name in Ireland. Apart from the doubt that would attach to the credibility of such a man, there is the great improbability of Perrott's ever trusting him with his property, life and name, in the dread secret of treason. This was, however, the whole of the case for the prosecution. It was, as we have seen, composed of three parts-first, angry words more than four years ago, which, p: oved or not. meant nothing secondly, jproof of correspondence with foreigners, and this Perrott al ways did in the service of his own coun- try and, thirdly, the evidence of Dennis Roughan, Perrott's avowed enemy, a self-convicted forger, and a man himself guilty of treason if what he said was true. Perrott, in his defence, protested his innocence, declared his loyalty to the Queen, excepted to the witnesses against him, because they were his enemies and were known for their bad character. Dennis," he said, -1 had changed his religion five times in six years, had counterfeited his hand several times, was a common drunkard, a liar, and had been perjured a thousand times. He said that he knew that he was passionate and might have said hasty words, but that he had served his Queen faithfully." A weaker case than this could not come before; a court; but the ruin of Perrott had been ar- ranged. We are told that several Ministers of State were on the bench, who laboured to get him convicted The jury found this brave old servant of his country guilty of high treason, and he was condemned to die as a traitor. But before the day of execution he died in the tower, and was thus saved from the disgrace of the scaffold. All who have written or thought about this trial, have come to the conclusion that Perrott was unjustly accused, and that he was the victim of one of those judicial mockeries which happily are unknown to us, but which then were not rare in this country. Previous to his death in the Tower, Perrott made a will, not in reference to his property, for having been con- victed of treason that would be of no avail, but in the form of a protest against the result of his trial. He solemnly declared that he had never corresponded with the King of Spain, that the evidence of Dennis was false, and his letters forgeries; that the other witness* against him spoke in ignorance or malice, and while he confessed that he might, when prevented doing some service to the Queen which he could have done, have spoken harshly for which he did sorrow in his heart, he had ever served his Queen and country loyally, and that he was prepared to die in their service. He solemnly swears that he was no guilty of the charges of which he was convicted, and with this deliberate de- claration he goes to his last great account. The judg- ment of posterity has vindicated the character of this brave man. I have dwelt upon his career at too great length this evening Perrott was not as learned as Giraldus Cambrensis, but ho was as great a ruler as Henry VII., and as great a warrior as Picton. He was one of those complete men, who are fit for anything that their circumstances might call them to do. He passed a great and useful life, and though he died as if lie had been a traitor, in the Tower, yet he died there with a sense of integrity and innocence, and with a con- science clear of treason and of untruth before God and man.—Now it is time that I should make you that apology to which, I feel, you are entitled. Often, the r(,.sui l'i of our working disappoint our expectations. I venture.! upon a bold undertaking when I announced that I wuu ld compress in a short lecture notices of the lives j of the four men that I have brought before you. As I proceeded, I came to the conclusion that I must confine the range of my stuly and attention. I have, there fore talked to you much of Giraldus Cambrensis, and still more of Perrott. I have said scarcely anything to you about Henry VII., and I shall say still less about Picton. I have worked out for you in some detail the two subjects which are not generally known; and Henry VII. and Picton, whose lives are to be seen on the shelves oi every library, I have been content to leave for your own subsequent study. This soldier, who was the owner of Poyston, in this county, was as brave and fearless a man as Sir John Perrott. He had one great point in life, the bold discharge of duty and throughout his active career in India, in the Peninsula, and at Waterloo, it ever remained the guiding rulo of his conduct. Friends, family, name, pain or pleasure in himself or others, he did not care for, if duty was ill question. He was placed in certain positions for a purpose, and to realise that purpose he would not scruple about a tear or a crotchet When the Commissariat got wrong in Spain—as it always does get wroug-and when his soldiers were starving through neglect, Picton sent for the Commissary Gt neral, and told him that if by a certain time. he did not get sufficient supplies for his men, he would have him shot! The Commissary General dwelt upon the difficulties of the task. Picton must have the supplies-there is the consequence if they are not hero! The Commissary complains to Lord Wellington. This sage commander knew the man of iron determination with whom he had to deal lie turned lound to the Commissary and said, And did Picton say that F" "Yes, ray lord, he did," says the other with a grave face. Then," rejoins my lord, "get the supplies, or by God he will do it!" Pem- brokeshire has not been behind hand in sending into the world men of great distinction and usefulness. We have mentioned the names of four this oveuing, but the list is long and varied. It is astonishing that though our ancestors, in the reign of Henry II., were pro- nounced by Giraldus to be a people versed in com- merce" and "anxious to seek gain by sea or land," so little has been done in the intervening seven centuries by their successors and descendants, to develop the com- mercial resources of our county. The early Kings of E-i'darid tvere well acquainted with the advantages of the Haven of Milford, and Shakespeare sang its praises when Liverpool and Southampton were unknown. The shores of this Haven show, it is true, some change, but that is recent and the result of modern agitation. Pembrokeshire has been blessed by nature with a jewel, tvhicli though for so long hanging neglected about her neck unnoticed, is sufficient to entitle her to the highest rank among the counties of England. This great Havon is the rich in- heritance of Pembrokeshire men and while Pembroke- shire men have in the past been distinguished in letters and in arms, I trust that for tae future, that they will become equally great in commerce they will now set their shoulders to the wheel, will arise to do the work which this Haven has long been demanding of them, and will thus make their own county one of the wealthiest in the kingdom. A vote of thanks was given to Mr Williams on the motion of Mr A. B. Starbuck, seconded by Mr Wenhert. A vote of thanks was also given to the Rev, O. Leach, who occupied the chr'ir.

Lloyd Watkins, M.P., and Lord-Lieutenant oi the County. The weather was fine, and a large number of people assembled together to witness the evolutions performed. The review-field was dotted here and there with a few refreshment venders, the most prominent amongst whom was Mr Hughes, of tho Swan Inn, Brecon, who was dispensing creature comforts from a marquee at very moderate prices. We append the names of the corps present, together with the Commanding Officers Colonel of the Battalion, Col. Lindsay; Adj utant, do., Adjutant Hughes; Captain do., Capt. G vynne No. 1 Company (Brecou) -Capt. Williams and Surgeon James Williams. No band. Total present, including ofifcers and sergeants, 34 No. 2 Company (Brvnmawr) — Capt. Bailey, Lieut. Jones, and Ensign Butterfield. Brass band, under the direction of Mr Sager. Present, 55 effectives; No. 3 Company (Crickhoweli)—Captaiu Hotchkis, Lieutenant Sharp, and Ensign Parry. Band; Sixty-two, including ofifcers and sergeants; No. 4 Com- pany (Hay)-Major Bridgewater, Lieut. Bellamy, and Assistant Surgeon Bogle. Band. Thirteen files, three officers, and four sergeauts No. 5 Company (Talgarth)-- Capt. Williams, Ensign Bowen, and Surgeon Arm- strong. No band. Twenty, including officers and sergeants; No. 6 Company (Builth) -Major Clifton, Lieutenant Gwynne, and Surgeon James. Band, under the direction of Sergeant Games. Forty, including officers. The total number of effectives of the whole battalion was about 230, Crickhowell contributing the largest number. At the close of the review, the in- inspecting ollicer addressed the volunteers. He ex- pressed a desire to impress upon their minds the neces- sity of drilling constantly, remarking that to that fact he ascr'bed the superior efficiency of the militia as compared with the volunteers. The more battalion drills they had, the better it would be for them; and the better would they acquit themselves when their inspecting officer came down. It was true that he would have to give a report to the War Odice, and he might tell them that upon the whole it would bo a favourable one. He wouid take this opportunity to tell them—and he said so with a great deal of pain to himself—that he did not think that No. 1 Company would have acted in the way it had done, more especially on an occasion of this sort. He referred to the absence of the band, wh.) had chosen to leave the regimeut in the most ungracious manner; and when he said that he knew he was speak- ing the feelings of all. The band had gone to a meet- ing at Defynnock, and had loft their Colonel in the lurch in the most ungracious way. After some recapi- tulatory observations, the much-respected Lord-Lieu- tenant brought his address to a close, amid enthusiastic plaudits. Cheers having been given fur the ofifcers present, the battalion was disbanded, and, after the lapse of a short period for refreshment, the respective curpn marched off the ground, the event terminating most satisfactorily. COUNTY PETTY SESSIONS.—These sessions were held on Saturday, before John Lloyd, Esq., and Evan Williams, Esq. John Lewis was charged with assault-' ing John Evans, shepherd, Green way. Complainant deposed: I am in the employment of Mr Smith. On Monday last I went to the hill for my master's sheep, which I found about 300 yards away from their usual walk, aud I brought them down from the hill. There were about sixty sheep belonging to Mr White amongst them. On my way down I met tho defendant. We sat down together, and a man named Powell sat Le- tween us. The defendant asked me what I wanted with Mr White's sheep, and I said, I only brought them down with my master's sheep." He then swore at me, saying that ho would make me let Mr White's sheep have quiet upon the hill. He then got up and struck me. 1 returned the blow, and he struck me again.—The defendant was fined 2s 6d and costs.—John Havard and John Jenkins, haulers, were charged with ridin"- in I their carts without reins. They were lined Is each and costs.—Eli/a Jones was charged with being drunk and riotous at Llandevailog, and was lined 2s Gd and costs.

James Strong an d Thomas Pugh were charged with being drunk and riotous, and were each sentenced to seven days' imprisonment.—Daniel and David Jones (brothers) were charged with assaulting [ Margaret Thomas, servant to Mr Griffiths, builder. I Daniol Jones was further charged with assaulting Mr Griliilhs, and David with inciting him to the assault. Mr Griffiths deposed: On the 12th inst, I sent the two defendants to fetch a load of timber. I left them about half-past 10, but they did not come home until 12 o'clock at night. I was up at the time, and I asked them why they had not arrived at an earlier hour, upon which they became insolent. I asked them if they had given water to the horses, and David Jones said they could not raise the water in the pump. Upon remon- strating with them, they became very abusive. David Jones said to his brother, d- his eyts, go into him," upon which Daniel attempted to strike me. In defence, I rose a coal skuttle, and some of the coals in it went into Daniel's face. Ho then rushed against me. The servant girl, who was close by, interfered on my behalf. David then rose a bucket of water and threw it in the girl's face.—Corroborative evidence having been ad- duced, Mr Bishop called Wm. Howells, who said that the defendants were sober on the night in question, when Margaret Thomas threw some hot ashes out of a coal- skuttle into David Jones's face, and Mr Griffiths threw some coals at Daniel Jones. David was fined 5s for the assault upon the girl, and Daniel 10s for assaulting her Daniel, for assaulting Mr Griffiths was fined 10s and costs; the charge against David for inciting his brother to wnout the moriult PiQA Ms Griffiths ww diwawMdi THE BANKRUPTCY OF MR EVA.Ns.-In the Bristo Bankruptcy Court, on Monday, before Mr' Commission- er Hill.-Re David Evans, Brecon, Draper.—'This was an adjourned last examination and order of discharge sit- ting Sir Press said that in this case he appeared for the assignee. There had already been an adjournment from the 4th of April to this day,as the bankrupt had not filed any statement of accounts. He was ordered to file a cash account for six months preceding the filing of the petition, and he had now filed what he called a statement of accounts. Opposite to that part where he ought to have returned his debts—good, bad, and doubt- ful—he said he could not tell, as he had not the means, his books being with the official assignee. With regard to debtors under £ 10 he said there were a few sums, but the official assignee had the books, and therefore he could not give any account of them. The cash account consisted of one general item of R168 being set out with- out any particulars on one side, and being got rid of by half a dozen items on the other side- It was mere tri- fling with the court to file such accounts, and he (Mr. Press) was going to apply for an adjournment sine die, but Mr. Power had suggested that if an adjournment were consented to the bankrupt could supply proper accounts, and, subject to the costs of this and the pre- ceding adjournment being paid by the bankrupt, he (Mr. P.) would not object to further time being given. Mr H. Brittan, for the bankrupt, at Srst submitted that the bankrupt had no means of paying any accountant for the preparation of any amended accounts; but on the suggestion of His Honour, who said that unless the gentlemen on both sides could agree, he must adjourn the case sine die, an adjournment for a month was taken by consent, and the bankrupt undertook to pay £ 1 10s on account of the costs.
