REPRESENTATION OF CARMARTHENSHIRE.— CAR-
MARTHEN, MONDAY.—The representation of this county,
which has become vacant by the elevation of the lion.
George Rico Trevor. M.P., to the peerage, consequent
upon the death of his father (Lord Dynevor), has put
both political parties on the qui vive, and a severe contest
is anticipated. A general feeling of regret has been
caused by the loss of Mr. Trevor as the representative of
the county, as the Hon. Gentleman has for many years
devoted the whole of his time and attention to the ad-
vancement of the interests of his constituents. No
official intimation has as yet been given by the leaders of
either party as to the candidates to whom they will give
their support, but there is little doubt that the Protec-
tionist party will start Mr. David Jones, of Pontglas, an
extensive landowner in the county, and who contested
unsuccessfully with Mr. Dyce Sombre the representation
of Sudbury when that borough returned a member. On
the other hand, it is confidently asserted that the Liberals
will start Sir James Hampden Williams, of Edwinsford,
near Littlishlo, a gentleman who has on former occasions
stood against the Protectionist interest. The Hon. G.
Rice Trevor (now Lord 1)) nevor), who retires, has for
some years past acted as deputy to his father in the lord-
lieutenancy of the county, and will, it is confidently ex-
pected, succeed to that office. He proved himself a most
active magistrate during the Rebecca riots, when, on ac
count of infirmity, his father was unable to perform his
arduous duties. He is also President of the Society of
Ancient Britons, which office he will retain. The day
for the nomination is not yet fixed.
Real grief is never clamorous. It seeks to shun
every eye; and breathes in solitude and silence the sighs
that come from the heart.—Eliza Cook's Journal.
BENEVOLENCE.—A Chester Contemporary says :
The Most Honourable the Marquis of Westminster, on
Friday last, called together several aged and infirm la-
bourers who have heen employed for years in the gar-
dens and other parts of the estate at Eaton Hall, and
awarded them pensions for the remainder of their days.
This act of benevolence was most justly apportioned by
the Marquis, in sums averaging from 3s. to 6s. each,
according to the age and inability of each individual to
follow any employment.—Liverpool Mercury.
SINGULAR OCCURRIINCR or A TELEGRAPH' LINE
IN PRUSSIA.—A curious accident occurred to the electric
telegraph line between Berlin and Stettin the other day.
The communication having been found to he interrupted
search was made for the cause, when a mouse's nest,
with a little brood, was discovered in the gutta percha
tube, and it appeared that the little animal had contrived
to gnaw through or disturb the wires.—Mining Journal.
THE POLICE or LIYERPOOL.—The police corps of
Liverpool now numbers considerably above a thousand.
The men are consecutively numbered, and officer 1,000
gave evidence in court yesterday; but there are frequent
vacancies. There are amongst the force six superin-
tendents, and a number of inspectors, bridewell-keepers,
and their assistants, &c. The body has latterly been
slightly reduced, and in round numbers is at present
about 1,150 strong—a pretty large regiment to keep the
vicious and the refractory of our town in order or in awe.
—Liverpool Standard.
SUICIDE OF A PUBLICAN.—On Monday morning,
a publican named G. Moade, who kept the Boot public-
house, in Wells-street, Oxford-street, committed suicide
by cutting his throat with a razor. The deceased had
occasion to go into his cellar about seven o'clock in the
morning in question, and shortly afterwards a female
domestic discovered him sitting on a small beer barrel,
with his throat cut from ear to ear. A surgeon was im-
mediately fetched, but life was found to be quite extinct.
An inquest was held upon the body by Mr. Wukley, at
the above-mentioned public-house, last evening, and the
evidence elicited showed that the deceased had been in a
desponding state of mind for some months past, but that
he had never before attempted to destroy himself. The
jury returned a verdict of " Temporary insanity."
CHESTER AND HOLYHEAD RAlLWAY.—Traffic for
the week ended Nov.'2s, 1849:—Coaching traffic,;7s9/.;
parcels, &c., 431.; goods, cattle, &c., 314/.; steamboats,
83/4 Mold, 631.—Total, 1,2621.
BATTERSEA-PARK.—The Commissioners of Woods

and Forests in their report just issued state that their
proceedings for the acquisition of the property to form
Battersea-paik have been impeded by the want of funds,
the delay being manifestly injurious to the interests of
the Crown, and productive of frequent complaints from
the owners of the property and other persons having
interests affected by the formation of the intended park;
that great loss and inconvenience are occasioned to them
by the uncertainty that exists as to the period of settle-
ment of their respective claims. The Commissioners
have borrowed 50,0001., and under a recent statute
charges can be given for property purchased on the
land revenues of the Crown, and up to the date of the
report the Commissioners had paid in money for pri
perty 23,1971.105. 3d. Certificates on the lend revenues
in lieu of money can be given to owners of property who
ale williog to ucctl t the bone under the Act 11th and
112th Victoria, cap. 102.
A good man will never teach that which he does
not believe.—Zliza.Cook's Journal.

' f LYCEUM THEATRE.
1 A pleasantly written and excellently :Wel little
I comedietta, entitled Delicate Ground, was produced
1 here last evening with complete success. It is from the
i pen of Mr. Charles Dance, and is evidently an adapta-
tion from the French. It is played by only three
1 individuals, namely, Madame Vestris, Mr. Charles
Mathews, and Mr. Roxby. The plot amounts to
nothing, and yet it forms an ingenious framework upon
which to wreathe certain useful domestic homilies. A
citizen of the French Republic, a member of the
Convention, perceives in hii wife a leaning towards
romanticism, and an undue tendresse for the memory
of an individual to whom she had formerly been be-
trothed. Ile affects the most sublime indifference to
her sentimental fancies, and treats her with an an-
noying air of sangfroid. Her former lover, whom
she had supposed dead, suddenly turns up in the
' shape of a proscribed royalist, and the husband, to
test his wife's affection, and prove to her the folly of
her pervading impressions, consents, with a perplex-
ing air of coolness, to annul, according to the repub-
lican licence of 1793, his marriage, and assign her
to her original lover. An amusing indiroglio takes
place, for the "citizen," aware of the vanity and
silliness of the man to whom he proposes to transfer
his conjugal rights, entraps him into a demonstra-
tion of inconstancy, betraying at the same
time the weakness and imbecility of his character.
The contrast that he thus establishes between his
rival and himself convinces his wife of his own
solid and enduring worth; and discovering, with
characteristic shrewdness, that her affection for him
is really strong, although clouded by the defects of
education, he exposes to her the real state of her
heart; awakens in her a latent spirit of moral and
intellectual appreciation, and finally destroys the
document which was the official initiative of their
divorce. The interest of this little comady depends
upon its dialogue, and this is always smart and spark-
ling. A more adroit representative of the husband
than Mr. Charles Mathews could not have been
found. His imperturbability was never disturbed for
a moment, whether in meeting his wife's reproaches,
or in confronting- the frivolous assurances of her
admirer. His matter-of fact deportment was more
than a match for either, and he triumphed hr the
manifestation of plainness and sincerity. Madame
Vestris was equally well adapted to embody the
romantic, though well intentioned wife. Her mo-
mentary impulses of passionate irritation, and ter
growing convictions of the worth and sagacity of her
husband, were portrayed with much feminine truth,
and nothing could be more finished and natural. Mr.
Robert Roxby, as the personifier of the third charac-
ter, exhibited the infirmities of volatility and empti-
ness with all the effect that was necessary, making as
much of an unpleasing part as circumstances would
allow. The applause which followed the fall cf the
curtain was general and enthusiastic, and Mr. Charles
Mathews pacified the clamour for the author by sim-
ply announcing his name.
