A COUNTY of South Wales, bounded on the North-east by Cardiganshire, on the East by Carmarthenshire, and, on the other sides, by the Irish sea. It is about 30 miles long, and about 13 miles broad. It is divided into seven hundreds; namely, Castle-Martin, Dewsland, Dungleddy, Kemess, Kilgerran, Marbeth, and Rouse. The principal rivers are, the Eastern and Western Cleddans, the Gwaine, the Biran, the Kiog, the Nevern, and the Radford. The market-towns are, St. David's, Haverfordwest, Fishguard, Kilgerran, Narberth, Milford, Newport, Pembroke, Tenby. It is in the PROVINCE OF CANTERBURY, in the DIOCESE OF ST. DAVID'S, and in the SOUTHERN CIRCUIT. It sends three members to parliament, one for the shire, and one each for the bo roughs of Pembroke and Haverfordwest. This county, though hilly, is not mountainous, like the majority of Welsh counties. There is, to be sure, one ridge of lofty blils, running from Fishguard in Carmarthenshire, which are called the Percelly mountains. The soils vary: they are chiefly these: strong red loam with reddish clay beneath; dark grey loam with blue rock beneath; and a spongy peat with clay underneath. The crops most usual are, wheat, barley, and oats, and little or no manure. The farmers crop their land till it will no longer bear a crop, and then they suffer it to rest. There is a great deal of common-land in this county, and it is used as sheep-walk, or as grazing-land for cattle; the woods are chiefly in the middle of the county, but they are not Pembroke. Popula. 421. extensive. The horned cattle of Pem- | CASTLE-MARTIN, 44 miles W. from brokeshire are of a very superior quality: they are black, and not very large, but are well known in England, and are sought after at the English fairs. The horses also are good; a strong and active little animal, well suited to the saddle, and otherwise exceedingly useful. The sheep are not of any particular breed. There are no mines of any consequence in the county; and there are no manųfactures worth mentioning. AMBLESTON, 5 miles N.N.E. from Haverfordwest. Popula. 551.

DAVIDS, a city of South Wales, and distant 271 miles W. by N. from London, is situated on a promontory jetting out into the Atlantic ocean, and having St. George's channel to the north, and the Bristol channel to the south. As a town, it is a place of no earthly consequence, consisting of nothing more than a broken line of poor cottages, with here-and-there a dwelling something superior to the rest. Formerly a really grand place, it now retains nothing but the traces of that grandeur; such as the ruins of whole streets and lanes in all directions in its vicinity, the names even of many of which tradition has not preserved. At the western extremity of the main street, there stands an ancient cross, round which it was the custom, from time immemorial, to hold the weekly mar kets and the fairs, but the place having become so little populous as not to require the market, the fairs only are now held here. St. Davids was, for a long period, an archbishoprick, having seven suffragan bishopricks. It has been, however, many, many years a simple bishoprick, the diocese consisting of the whole counties of Pembroke, Carmarthen, Brecknock, and Radnor, with parts of the counties of Monmouth, Hereford, Montgomery, and Glamorgan. The early history of this city is involved in great obscurity, but the popular opinion is, that St. David, the son of a prince of Cardigan, after studying in the Isle of Wight, came here (this being his native place) and founded a monastery, which in the course of time became an archiepiscopal see, and David its archbishop. It is certain, that the shrine of St. David was held in great repute by pilgrims, who, of all degrees, visited it in great numbers. Amongst them was William I., Henry 11., and Edward I. The cathedral, together with the residences of the clergy and the burying-ground, are within a walled-in space of nearly a mile in circumference, and which has four handsome entrance-gates, named Bunning'sGate, Patrick's-Gate, Tower-Gate, and White-Gate. The cathedral itself is a large Gothic building, in the form of a cross, having a lofty square tower, surmounted by square pinnacles. In the inside are several handsome monuments of renowned persons: one of Rhys ab Gruffydd, Prince of South Wales, in 1196; one of Bishop Morgan, and one of Bishop Gower, both these prelates having been conspicuous benefactors of the see; and one of Edmund Tudor, Earl of Richmond. In the chancel is the shrine of St. David, with four recesses in which his votaries used to deposit their offerings. These monuments are in pretty good preservation, though they were despoiled of all that was available about them by the parliamentary army in the reign of Charles I. A College was founded here for a Master and Seven Priests or Fellows, by John of Gaunt, Duke of Lancaster, and Bishop Houghton. This was dissolved by Edward VI., and it is now crown property, and leased to a Mr. Edwards, of Sealyham. The only part of the college now remaining is the chapel, which is a spacious, and must have been a very handsome building. The bishop's palace is a beautiful and ancient edifice, standing within the above-mentioned wall, and a little way off on the south-west side of the cathedral. This palace was built by Bishop Gower, who was bishop of the see in 1328. Two sides of it only are remaining complete; but these are sufficient to show how grand a building it was: the hall was sixty feet long by twenty broad; the kitchen thirty-six feet long by twenty-eight broad, and an apartment, called King John's Hall, was ninety-six feet long by thirty-three broad! At one corner of this hall is the bishop's own chapel, and, at the entrance to the hall, are imperfect statues of Edward III. and his queen. The whole is now in a ruinous condition. The town has no manufactures, and its trade consists of merely a little indispensable shop. keeping. Popula. 2,240. DINAS, 2 miles W. from Newport. Popula. 753.
