ROYAL ACADEMY or Music.—We understand that
the new mode of education in the dramatic art, and ,
the practice of elocution superinduced upon the usual
course of musical instruction given to the pupils, of
the Royal Academy of Music, has been most success-
fully introduced by Mr. Frederick Webster, professor
of elocution to that excellent institution, and that the
pupils are progressing rapidly under his guidance.
DREADFUL MURDER NEAR. BRECODL-.-NEWPORT,
MONDAY.—Scarcely had the sensation caused by the
murder at Cardiff been felt at Brecon, than a brutal
murder was committed at a farmhouse called Cwmgwdy,
near the latter town, upon one of the farm servants
there, a most inoffensive man, named Thomas Edwards,
aged about 32, a single man. It appears from sufficient
evidence to establish the fact, that the murder was com-
mitted by a fellow-servant of the name of Thomas Nil-
Hams, who has but recently come upon the farm to re-
side. On the morning of Friday last the body of poor
Edwards was found, presenting a ghastly spectacle.
The brains had literally been beaten out of tlic 'wad .
through many parts of the broken skull, which had been
smashed in several places by an axe; the fatal insiru-
went was found close by, covered with blood. WlKama
had fled, and there was immediate proof discovered of
his having robbed the murdered man of very much wear-
ing apparel and a silver watch. The murderer is de-
scribed as a young man only 19 years of age, five feet
two inches in height, stoutly built, &c., and is a native
of Kingsland, in Herefordshire.
On Wednesoay last, at Oxenhoath, very impor- •
taut and extensive sale of short-horned cattle, Leicester
and other sheep, the property of Sir William Richard
PoulettGeary, Bart., who has let his farms, were brought
to the hammer by Mr. Wetherell and Mr. Herbert
Prickett (conjointly on this occasion) before a numerous ,
and highly respectable company, consisting of the neigh.!
bouring gentry, as well as breeders of stock from dis-
tant counties. After an introductory speech, comment•
ing on the great judgment which had been displayed in .
the selection of the short-horns, Leh ester, and other
sheep, the sale commenced with great spirit, the bidding'
were ropid, and after considerable competition thegreater
part were sold at very high prices.
