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
