Chepstow New Bridge was opened on Wednesday last. A procession was formed in the Square, consisting of the engineer, surveyor, workmen, solicitor, magistrates, gentlemen, farmers, tradesmen, &c. with flags and a band of music, which proceeded to the Bridge, where the workmen formed a line, through which the procession passed, the band playing and bells ringing; the magistrates having viewed the edifice, returned to the centre and taking their stations in their respective counties, declared their approbation of the work, and congratulated each other on the completion of the undertaking. Three cheers followed, and the procession returned in the same order to the Square, where two lines were formed, through which the band marched playing "God save the King;" and three cheers again from the whole assemblage closed the ceremony. Captain J.I. DYKINFIELD, of the 1st regiment of Guards, is appointed to succeed Col. ADDENBROOKE in the Household of her Majesty, the Colonel being appointed to that of her Royal Highness the Princess Charlotte of Wales. On Tuesday last, the Rev. Robert WILLIAMS, M.A. was unanimously elected by the Dean and Chapter of Bangor, to the important office of Head Master, of the endowed Grammar School of that city. On Thursday last, about two o'clock, a topsail-yard sloop was observed at Milford, about three miles from St Ann's Head, in great distress; but it then blowing a heavy gale of wind at W.N.W. it was impossible to render any assistance - she shortly after went down, when the crew, three in number, were seen clinging to a spar, but every effort proving ineffectual, they were obliged to resign themselves to a watery grave. We have not been able to find that any thing has yet been washed on shore so as to give the least idea as to the property. Lyn Nunn Brisbane Australia

Awful Thunder Storm - Thursday morning, about 11 o'clock, a sudden and tremendous peal of thunder, accompanied by a vivid flash of lightning, burst immediately over Bath, when a most awful but providential circumstance occurred at the house of Mr. WINDSOR, in James-street. The following are particulars, as detailed by the servants, &c. who witnessed the phenomenon: - A ball of fire, they assert, entered the nursery, situated on the attic floor, where were the nurse and two young children, neither of whom received the least injury, as the fluid was attracted by a bell wire, and conducted to the next floor; whence it appeared to leave the wire and direct its course down the stairs, passing close to a servant girl. The door of the parlour, in which four charming children were at play, was burst open: they saw the fluid, and were greatly alarmed; but most providentially were not hurt; as the igneous matter, apparently, re-attracted by the bell-wire in the passage, went through the ceiling form the kitchen, where, after leaving many marks of its devastating power, it expended itself with an alarming explosion. Mr. and Mrs. WINDSOR were from home at the time, engaged in the duties of their profession; but the feelings of these affectionate parents, on their return soon after the moment of peril may be more easily conceived than described. A flock of sheep, 180 in number, the property of Mr. ROSKELLY, of Ringworthy Farm on the borders of Dartmoor, were left in a field all well on Monday evening, the 8th inst. and early on the following morning, 62 of them were found dead, killed by lightning; their eyes were forced from their sockets, and their bodies appeared as in a state of putrefaction. The flocks of many other farmers in the neighbourhood suffered severely; and it is supposed that not less than 400 sheep have been destroyed. Such was the violence of the storm, that a great number of large trees were rooted up, and the branches of others were shivered to pieces. The lightning excited considerable alarm on some parts of the southern coast also, where great damage has been done, particularly in the gardens and orchards, and is described by many people to have been the most terrific and awful visitation they ever remember to have witnessed. In the York Herald, we read that nine sheep, belonging to Mr. J. LOVELL, of Yeddingham, standing close together under a hedge, were on the 4th isn't. killed by lightning; and a valuable horse, belonging to Mr. B. ATKINSON, was struck dead in a stable at Hillhouse Bank. Lyn Nunn Brisbane Australia

Last week an inquest was held by Dr. J.C. COLLINS, on the body of George WILLIAMS, a sailor who leaped from his vessel into Swansea river, intending to swim to the opposite side, but failed, and was drowned. Verdict, accidental death. On Wednesday se'nnight the Forest Chapel, near Coleford, an edifice raised a few years past through the pious exertions of the Rev. Peyler Mathew PROCTOR, Vicar of Newland, supported by numerous and liberal friends, was consecrated by the Lord Bishop of Gloucester, who preached an admirable and highly-appropriate sermon on the occasion to a very numerous and attentive auditory, from Mathew xviii. V. 20. "For where two or three are met together in my name, there am I, in the midst of them." After divine service a liberal subscription was made for the benefit of the School connected with the Chapel. >From all parts of the country we hear of damage done by the late storms and floods of rain: nor has Wales been exempted from the calamity, severe losses having been sustained in Glamorganshire and Carmarthenshire by the rivers overflowing, and carrying away or greatly injuring the crops of hay. It is a lamentable fact, that the hay harvest is in a very wretched state. Some little has been got in; but much that is down will be materially injured, if not totally destroyed. A great portion of the grass is, however, uncut, as the farmers put no confidence in fine and flattering mornings; and the doctrine of the moon and the weather glass are alike getting into disrepute. It has now rained, more or less every day, for nearly seventy successive days - mostly in the evenings, and frequently all night. The hay harvest will certainly be one of the latest that has happened for a number of years; and the bad colour of the grass indicates the want of those nutritious qualities peculiar to hay made in more favourable seasons.

DIED On Friday, the 12th inst. to the inexpressible grief of her relatives and friends, after a lingering and painful illness, which she bore with the greatest firmness and most meek and pious resignation, Elinor, youngest daughter of David LEWIS, Esq. of Henlan, in the county of Pembroke. If the most amiable qualities - if the most finished accomplishments, could have saved her from and early tomb, she indeed would have been spared; but it has pleased the Almighty to take her to himself, and the only consolation which now remains to her most afflicted family is the conviction that such innocence and goodness as her's must have procured for her a much happier habitation in another and better world.

On Wednesday last, Charles LEVETT, Esq. of Castle-hall near Milford, in his 61st year, after a lingering illness of 23 years; a man well beloved by all his neighbours.

On Thursday, of a decline, aged 34 years, leaving a wife and child, and a numerous circle of friends, to deplore his loss, Mr. John THOMAS, of the General Stamp-Office in Carmarthen. He was a man of the strictest integrity, and of the most benevolent and amiable disposition, an affectionate husband, a tender father, a steady friend, and, above all, a zealous Christian. Capt. Thomas JENKINS, many years Master of the Haverfordwest Bristol Trader. Mrs. BOWEN, wife of Mr. John BOWEN, sen. of Haverfordwest. Mr. John GETHIN, George Tavern, Holyhead. Mr. R. WILLIAMS, of Racre Barton Denbighshire, in his 79th year. On the 14th January, at Calcutta, aged 62, Michael CHEESE, Esq. many years a surgeon of distinguished eminence on that establishment, and formerly highly esteemed as a surgeon and apothecary at Hereford; a gentleman universally beloved and respected by all who knew him. {[We were misinformed in stating the death of the Rev. Mr. MORGAN, of Pembrey, in our paper of the 13th inst.; that respectable gentleman being in the land of the living, in which we hope he will long continue.] Lyn Nunn Brisbane Australia

hello list I was wondering if anyone had access to any records of the burials in the Brynmawr Municipal cemetery. I have been tracing my Williams ancestors and have found them in 1841 in Nantyglo and 1851 in Brymawr. However the head of the family Llewellyn and his wife Zillah disappear after this date and I cannot trace them anywhere. I thought that they may have died in Brynmawr and been buried there. I'd therefore be looking between 1851 and 1861for their burials. TIA Jayne

Hi Hilary, The game made it to the States -- my father called it skipping stones -- but I've never heard the name Dip Dap Do. I hope somebody can help you determine if it was a sweet name invented by your mother, or if perhaps its unique to the area she was from. My father was born here in Colorado. I don't know where he learned about skipping stones -- possibly from his mother, whose heritage was English. Norma Colorado, USA

Hi Listers, I have just been watching an item on the BBC Countryfile programme about stone skimming (ie making a stone skip along a section of water). I am sure that this is a game that many of us have played as youngsters or with our own children. My mother, a Welsh speaker, originally from Llanwrtyd Wells, BRE, always called the game "Dip Dap Do", as I have also continued to call it. Does anyone else know this name for this game, or is it a localised name? Kind regards to all, Hilary No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
