CHEAP LIVING IN CARMARTHENSIIIRE.—A frihnd
of ours,.who. was at Laugharne last week, informs us that a
family may reside there quite as cheiply as in France. At
present, comfortable houses are to be had from 101. to 151. a
year; ducks or fowls, Is. 6d. to ls. 9d. per couple; fine
geese, 2s. to 2s. 6d. each ; eggs are now forty for a shilling;
veal, 4d. per lb. ; mutton or lamb, sd. por lb. ; servants'
wages, 3/. to 5/. per annum ; fish, the same day it is caught,
from Id. to 4d. per lb. • oysters, in the season, 6d. per
hundred ; fresh butter sold there last Friday, Bd. per lb.
Sea bathing may be enjoyed on very fine sands, near the
town. A. family may reside at Laugharne for one half the
expense that would be incurred at Bath or Oneltenhana.—

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.—PORTSMOUTH, MONDAY.
—Telegraphic orders by the Semaphore were received this
morning from the Admiralty for the St. Vincent, 120, Capt.
R. F. Rowley: to prepare immediately for sea, and to be
ready for .sailing by fouro..m., when her orders would arrive.
She is new.taking in a supply of provisions and water. At
one, P.M., 150 additional marines, with two officers, embarked
on board her, and 160 able seamen were sent from the Vic-
tory and Excellent, which were sent to Spithead in the
Rocket and Echo steamers. The Commander-in-Chief's
flag will be removed to the Excellent pro tem. She is or-
dered to Gibraltar. The (long expected) Camperdown, 104,
Captain Martin, has just anchored at Spithead ; her officers
and crew will be turned over to the Queen forthwith, she
being ready for their reception.
ACCIDENT BY FIREARMS.—Last evening a frightful
accident, from the use of firearms, occurred to a lad, named
William Haycock, aged 15 years, the son of a master baker
residing in Pomeroy-street, Old Kent-road. It appears that
having procured a small pocket pistol, he had loaded it with
swan shot, when not being able to fix the percussion cap he
got a stone, and incautiously began to knock it on, when the
pistol suddenly went off, and the whole of its contents lodged
in his thigh, lacerating his flesh in a frightful manner. He
was conveyed to Guy's Hospital, where he was immediately
attended to by Messrs. Cocks and Callaway, the surgeons,
who extracted a considerable number of shot, but in conse-
quence of the severe nature of the wound considerable doubts
are entertained of his recovery.
GRAND FIELD-DAY IN HYDE-PARK YESTER-
DAY.--Yesterday (Monday) there was a grand field-day in
.the large space of ground generally used for such purposes
in Hyde-park. The troops on the ground consisted of the
Ist and 2d battalions of the Coldstream Guards, making the
full strength of that distinguished corps about 980 men ;
the 2d and 3d battalions of the Grenadier Guards, under
the command of Lieutenant-Colonel Grant ; the Ist bat-
talion of this regiment is now at Winchester. Including the
bands of both, there were about 1,500 present, and all were
under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel Walton, of the
Coldstream Guards, a gallant officer, who, in addition to
many other glorious scenes, witnessed that of Waterloo.
His /loyal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, Colonel of the
'Coldstreams, arrived on the ground at the appointed time.
His Royal 'Highness was mounted on a grey charger, and was
attired in the regimentals of the corps, but in undress, viz.,
blue frock coat, with sash , sword, &c. At about a quarter
past eight o'clock the several battalions assembled—the first
of the Coldstream coming from Portman-street Barracks,
and the second from the Wellington Barracks, St. James'-
park. The 2d battalion of the Grenadier Guards came from
Charing-cross Barracks, and the third from the present sta-
tion at St. John's Wood. The usual manceuvres were then
gone through, and lasted for some time, after which the troops
returned to their barracks. A grand review of all the troops
stationed in London or adjoining will take place shortly, and
preparations are now being made very extensively in antici-
pation of the affair.
