George Rowland, alias Gipsey George, was placed at the bar this morning. The prisoner, whose visits at this court we have had frequently to record, presented the most miserable appearance, with scarcely is rag on his hack, and suffering dreadfully from delirium tremeux.— he Mayor said the last time the prisoner Came before him he promised faithfully that he would leave the town, and he (the Mayor) then pitying his cemlition, let him free on that promise, and even ordered tile, sonie warm beer, with spices ill it. The prisoner had perfectly deceived him; he had certainly left the town, and returned again on a quibble that he did not promise not to return. The prisoner sail Ids parish was Carmarthen, his father and mother having resided there some years, and paid rates to a large amount. Ile was also apprenticed is that town, but only served nine mouths to the trade, when lie entered the army. It was (utile evident that from the time he left the army lie had completely given himself lip to drink, and the Mayor remarked that he considered the prisoner was as much committing suicide as though he put a pistol to his head and blew his brains out.—P.c. John Olden stated that he Mund the prisoner lying down by the Mack worth Arms, about twelve o'clock on Tuesday night. He was then in such an awful condition that lie and Inspector Bennett were afraid lie would not live out the night. cite prisoner now expressed a wish to he sent home to Carmarthen, and stated [hit if he ever got there be would settle down in the union workhouse for life. The Mayor, wishing to rid the town of ouch 5 man, most liberally tllla kind; paid his fare to Carmarthen out of his own private purse, and Mr. Tate was directed to see him off by the first train. A man and woman applied to the bench this morning for advice order the following circumstances :—lt appears that they bad a child dead of the small pox as Tuesday morning, and not having the means of burial, they applied to Mr. Daniel to bury the body ; he refused to do 110, and they then applied to the Superintendent, who said he had nojurieliction in the matter, but advised them to apply to the guardians of the poor, when they went to Mr. 1). 11.

They then returned to Mr. Tate, and he told them to apply to Mr. Rutter, who also refused, saying he did notgather money for the purpose of buryingtralups' children. The child was still lying in the house without a coffin, and another young child of two months old was also in the small-pox. They had tio means of burial, and they wished to kitow what they were to do. The Mayor said be thought there was something more in the case than had Mien stated, but said lie would the affair before the Board of Guardians that day. They then thanked the Mayor and withdrew. A woman applied for a summons against 'Miss Marks, pawnbroker, for refusing to give tier a gown which hail been played by her in piiivii since January 1)1. Fekruary last.
