    3. The present state of the Swansea Free-school for Boys will be found on our first page; and the interesting report made to the Annual Meeting on the 4th is given on our fourth page. In testimony of their approbation of his services, the subscribers voted a silver cup of the value of five guine is (guineas?) to Mr. TOMLINSON, the master(?). The numerous friends of the venerable and respected master of Ystradmeirie (?) School will peruse with pleasure the handsome acknowledgement of his worth made by some of his late pupils, and inserted in our succeeding page. Another of the unfortunate men who were severely burnt by the explosion in the colliery (noticed last week) died on Friday night. Inquests were held on the three sufferers on Saturday by Dr. J.C. COLLINS - Verdicts, accidental death. On Friday night last a daring attempt was made to enter Windsor Lodge, near Swansea, the residence of E.F.COATES, Esq. but the robbers were fired at, and it is supposed one or more were severely wounded, from the quantity of blood discovered on the premises after they had precipitately retreated. The Carnarvonshire subscriptions in honour of the Marquis of Anglesea, for the purchase of a piece of plate, have been transferred to the general fund subscribed in Anglesea, for the erection of a column.
