SOMEWHAT PENSIVE.—There are three kinds of pens sold by a celebrated Edinburgh firm, under the names of the Waverley pen, the Owl pen, and the Pickwick pen.

From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire we received about 9S0 Scots and crosses from other parts of England, about 590 various breeds from Scotland, 190 Scots and crosses; and from Ireland, 190 head. The market was again heavily supplied with Sheep, the inquiry for which continued inactive. Prime Downs and half-breds barely maintained previous quotations, whilst inferior breeds were only disposed of at a further reduction of 2d. per 81b. The top price for the best breeds in the wool was 6s. 4d. to 6s, 6d,. out of the wool 5s. 2d. to 5s. 4d. per 81b. There was a fair supply of Lambs on sale, including upwards of 200 from the Isle of Wight. The trade was heavy, at from 6s. 6d. to 7s. 2d. per 81b. Calves moved off slowly on former terms. Pigs were in limited request, at about late prices. LIVERPOOL, MONDAY.—The stock on offer consisted of 2,045 beasts and 5,758 sheep. There was a falling off in the supply of both beasts and sheep, and a slow demand for them on account of the high prices, some selling at 9d. per Ib by weight. Stock generally good and healthy. A few left unsold at the close. Prices: Best beasts, 8d, to 9d.; second best, 7Jd. to 81d.; inferior, 5d. to 7Jd.; sheep, 7d. to lOd. per lb. MISCELLANEOUS. LONDON PROVISION, MONDAY.—The arrivals last week from Ireland were 17J firkins Butter and 2,836 bales Bacon, and from foreign ports 25,659 casks, &c., Butter, and 1,036 bales and 101 boxes Bacon. Irish Butter is slowly clearing at very irregular rates. Prices of all descriptions of foreign have declined 6s. per cwt., and some sorts even more. Best Dutch, 124s. We have had a slow trade in Irish Bacon, but Hamburg sold well at an advance of 2s. per cwt. Lard sold slowly. LONDON HOP, NIONDAY-WE have no alteration to report in our market, which continues steady at late prices, fine sam- ples being in good request. Continental markets report a fair demand, and a tendency to improvement in fine grades owing to their scarcity. New York advices to the 6th March report the market as showing signs of more animation, speculation for fine lots still prevailing.

Fine hops are wanted, and dealers show some disposition to buy best qualities; but from the samples offered, the sorts seem to be nearly exhausted. A few reports of weak and dead stocks are current from certain districts, whilst others are considered not unpromising. LONDON SEED, MONDAY.—English red Cloverseed comes slowly forward, and fine qualities command high prices; German and Belgian qualities were quite as dear. Old American still offers at low figures, and meets a dull sale; export orders are mostly filled. In white Clovetseed there was an advance of 5s. per cwt. Trefoils were steady in value and demand. Essex white Mustard seed remains high, being scarce. Rapeseed was firm and fully as dear. Canaryseed was steady in price and de- mand; there are some fair qualities of foreign in the market. Alsike has improved in value fully 6s. per cwt. LONDON WOOL, MONDAY—No change has taken place in this market. The business doing has been only to a moderate extent, at late prices.

THE BURIALS BILL. -The second reading of the Burials Bill is fixed for the 14th of April, and it is suggested that petitions in favour of the measure should be sent to Par- liament from all parts of Wales. We understand that Mr Richard is desirous of being informed as to the number of parishes in Wales with no Nonconformist burial-places. Such information can be addressed to the hon. gentleman at the House of Commons.
DENBIGHSHIRE ASSIZES.
DENBIGHSHIRE ASSIZES. The business of these assizes commenced on Monday, at the County Hall, Ruthin, before Mr Baron Channell. The grand jury (of whom Sir Watkin Willliams Wynn, Bart., M.P., was foreman) habing been sworn, His Lordship, in his charge, said one of the cases was with reference to the accident which occurred near Abergele, on the 20th of August last. Two persons named Richard Williams and Robert Jones, the breaksmen of a goods train, were charged with the offence of manslaughter. In this case it was important to ascertain as well as they could what was the duty of the persons who were charged with manslaughter. It seemed to him that it would not be sufficient to inquire into the duty of the two breaks- men only, but it would likewise be necessary to inquire into the duties of the persons who were intimately associated with them, and who in one way or another had to interfere in the manage- ment of the train. One very important point for them to ascer- tain, and one which would require their anxious inquiry, was with reference to the goods train when at Llandulas station being under the charge and orders of the stationmaster. As a general thing, no rule was more important in reference to actions than this: that where subordinate officers are under the charge of superior officers, the subordin ate should obey the directions of the superior, and the responsibility of the directions is upon the superior officer. It would therefore be important to ascertain what were the duties of the two breaksmen, and they must also inquire into the duty of the stationmaster. His lortfship. after directing the jury on another case of some importance-that of the charge of miirder-dismissed them to their duties. NIGHT POACHING AT LLANEFYDD. Elias Jones and Isaac Jones were found guilty of night poach- ing on land in the occupation of George Griffith, at the Dingle, Llanefydd, on the 28th of Nov. last, and were each sentenced to six months' imprisonment. Mr Swetenham conducted the pro- secution, and Mr M'lntyre defended the prisoners. ALLEGED MURDER AT MOCHTRE. Robert Jones, aged 23, and Thomas Jones, aged 20, were charged with the wilful murder of Thos. Foulkes, at Llandrillo- yn-rbos, on the 6th of February last. Mr M'lntyre conducted the prosecution, and Mr Swetenham defended the prisoners. It appeared that on the 6th February last the prisoners, who are brothers, and some other persons, were drinking together at the White Horse public house, at Mochtre, near Llandrillo-yn-rhos. No quarrel took place in the public house, but the two prisoners left about a quarter to twelve, and about ten minutes afterwards the deceased Foulkes and the other persons with him also left. The two prisoners were standing outside, and said They feared no man in Mochtre," and Thomts Jones struck Foulkes with his fist, and Foulkes struck him in return. Upon that both prisoners set upon Foulkes, and beat him very severely. Thomas Jones struck deceased several blows on the head with a sharp stone, and knocked him to the gronnd. and both prisoners kickcd him about the head and body, and left him on the ground in a state of insensibility. Two men named Pritchard and Williams told the prisoners to leavt^the deceased alone, but they were told if they interfered they would be served in a like manner. Foulkes was removed, and lingered until the 15th of the pre- sent month, when he died from the injuries he had received.- One of the witnesses—Thomas Pritchard-said that Foulkes was the strongest man in the country," and that the prisoners kicked him (Foulkes) for about half an hour.—The counsel for the defence urged that the case was one of manslaughter only. -The jury found the prisoners guilty of manslaughter.-Sen- tence was deferred till last evening, when we believe one of ten years' penal servitude was pronounced. THE ABERGELE CATASTROPHE. In the course of the afternoon the grand jury returned a true bill against Richard Williams and Robert Jones, indicted for the manslaughter of Charles Cripps, Joseph Priestly Edwards, and Edward Outen, who were passengers by the Irish mail train on the 20th of August last. During the day an indictment for manslaughter was also preferred, at the instigation of the soli- citor conducting the prosecution, against Mr Samuel Eaton, the stationmaster at Llandulas, who was acquitted when the in- quiry took place before the magistrates at Abergele. The grand jury threw out the bill. Mr Yeatman was instructed for the pro- secution, and Mr M'lntyre and Mr Swetenham for the defence. PERJURY. In the case of Henry Gittins Rogers, the grand jury found a true bill for forgery and perjury. Our readers will remember that on the 18th of February last Rogers, who was a witness in a County Court case at Llangollen, was committed by the judge (Mr Vaughan Williams) to take his trial at the Denbighshire Assizes on the charge of perjury only; upon the proof" going before the grand jury they returned a true bill on the charge of forgery as well as perjury. Rogers, who was out on bail, not appearing, his bail was estreated: amount £100,
TUESDA Y.
TUESDA Y. The Court sat at nine o'clock, when the learned Judge opened the proceedings by calling for the attendance of the men (out on bail) charged with manslaughter in the ABERGELE ACCIDENT. The particulars of this shocking catastrophe are so recent in the recollection of our readers that a detailed account at the present moment would be not only unnecessary, but tedious, Suffice it to say that Baron Channell, in his charge and summing up, commented on every minute particular connected with the acci- dent. In the present case Richard Williams and Robert Jones were charged, under three distinct coroner's war- rants, with the manslaughter of Charles Cripps, Joseph Priest'ey Edwards, and Edward Outen, respectively, on the 20th day of August, 1868. The evidence was very voluminous, and confined particularly to London and North-Western Railway Company officials, who in every instance gave evidence as to the inaccuracy of the company's book of rules, whioh even the learned judge admitted were so drawn up that it was difficult to under- stand them. The evidence mainly relied upon for the prose- oution was the responsibility attached to the two prisoners (as breaksmen in charge of the goods train, the two petroleum- laden trucks of which became detached and ran into the Irish mail train). The evidence of Mr Lee, who produced plans of the Llandulas station lines and the lines from thence to Abergele, went to prove that once the mail train had entered the Abergele end of the Tanrogo cutting (the scene of the acoident) there was no signal to prevent its running into Llandulas Station.—Mr James Owen. Binger, super- intendent of the Chester and Holyhead branch ok the London and North Western Railway, said by their rules while a train was within the precincts of a station, the stationwaster, and not the breaksman, had the charge of such train, biat as far as the shunting of a train was concerned, the breaksman had the com- plete control of the train. Alfred Sara, the driver of the goods (or pick-up) train on the 20th of August, gave evidence proving his arrival at Llandulas from Abergele, some two or three minutes before his time, and spoke to the insufficiency of the siding there, to accommodate the length of train he was driving, the consequence of which was that the break van and three other trucks attached to it had to be kicked away from the remainder of the train, to be put upon another siding; and from some cause or other, which he nor any other witness ex- amined could explain, the van and trucks gained the impetus which drove them into collision with the mail train. The re- mainder of the evidence was principally confined to the identity of the remains of the unfortunate man Cripps (the footman of Lord Farnham), which identity, fully proved by the widow and brother, was admitted by the learned counsel, Mr M'lntyre, who 2ppeared in conjunction with Mr Swetenham for the defence.— Mr Yeatman (who, with Mr Ignatius Williams, conducted the prosecution) addressed the jury, as did also Mr M'lntyre and the learned Judge.—The jury, after a consultation of twenty Minuteeol returned a verdict of not guilty," »

SURVEYOR'S REPORT Upon the state of the Denbigh county works, Easter Session, 1869. Ruthin County Gaol.-I was in hopes of being able to report the completion of the above at this quarter session, but owing to the vast amount of work, Messrs Harden and Son, engineers, could not finish the cooking apparatus which they are pro- viding. The old male prison is now being turned into one for the females; and the necessary flues for ventilation are in progress. When this is finished, and the kitchen ready, I purpose to invite Mr Perry to inspect and certify the building. Cerrig y Druidion Lock-up,-I am glad to say I have at length succeeded in getting a tender for the work ordered at this place. I have had a great many tenders, which are far above the value of the work. Bridge at Plas Chambres.—At the last quarter sessions I was in. structed to ascertain the difference between the cost of a private bridge and one which would be suitable for a public road; but Mr Chambres finds that he cannot avail himself of the public road, without increased expense to himself. Denbigh County Ball. The painting of this hall was completed in a satisfactory manner. Ruthin County Hall.-The painting outside this hall was in a very bad state, and it was absolutely necessary to protect the woodwork by either paint or varnish. R. LLOYD WILLIAMS, County Surveyor. PETITION FROM LLANGOLLEN. To the Magistrates at Quarter Sessions, in the county of Denbigh. The humble petition of the undersigned, the Local Board for the district of Llangollen, sheweth that the Llangollen Dee Bridge is very dangerous to the public, by reason of its being too narrow for the carriage and passenger traffic. That it is not considered safe to allow children alone to pass over it, and that the public convenience is thereby injuriously affected. That your court over and over again recognized the inadequacy of the bridge to meet the public requirements. That collisions upon it are of frequent occurrence, and some serious disaster may some day happen from its pre-ent dangerous condition. Your petitioners have also to call your attention to the fact that by reason of the increase in the Llangollen assessment the parish have much more to pay in county rates, and so are fairly entitled to proper additional accommodation. That this petition was unanimously agreed upon and passed at the meeting of the said Board, held at Llangollen on the 4th day of February, 1869, and then ordered to be signed and sealed, as witness our hands and seal of the Local Board, for the district of Llangollen. Signed by John Edwards, Robt. Baker, J. Jones, J. Thomas, and J. Hughes.
TRIAL OF PRISONERS.
TRIAL OF PRISONERS. SATURDAY.—Before T. Hughes, Esq. (chairman), Townshend Mainwaring, Etq., Rev. D. Roberts, J. J. Foulkes, Esq., P. H. Chambres, Esq., nd James Maurice, Esq. False Pretences at Llangollen.—Richard Williams, boatman, of Llangollen, was charged with obtaining, by faise pretences, two donkeys, the property of Edward Jones, a prisoner awaiting his trial in Ruthin gaol. Williams applied to Jones's wife for per- mission to sell the donkeys in order to obtain the means to de- fend her husband, who was charged with stealing a fowl. The principal evidence was that of Jones himself, who denied au- thorizing Williams in any way to dispose of the donkeys.-He was sentenced to twelve months' imprisonment, with hard la- bour. THEFTS AT LLANRHAHDR. Charles Heywood, 22, labourer, was charged with having, at Llanrhaiadr-yn-Mochnant, on the 10th of October, 1868, stolen three pairs of trousers, valued at 35s., the goods of one Robert Ellis. Sentenced to two months' imprisonment. Hugh Williams, 55, labourer, was charged with having, at Llanrhaiadr-yn-Mochnant, on the 11th of November, 1868, stolen one shirt, two pairs of stockings, and a scarf, the goods of Samuel Vaughan; and also with having, on the 5th of February, 1869, stolen one shovel, the property of Richard Hughes.—He pleaded guilty to the first offence, and, being an old offender, was sen- tenced to seven years' penal servitude. THEFTS AT WREXHAM. William Rodnett, 19, labourer, was charged with having, at Wrexham, on the 2nd of January, 1869, stolen five brass wheels, valued at 46s., the property of one William Thomas.—It was his third offence, and he was sentenced to solitary confinement for twelve months. William Moore, 33, labourer, was charged with having, at Wrexham, on the 9th day of March, 1869, stolen one hundred- weight of hay, valued at 7s., the property of one Edward Parry.— Being an old offender, he was sentenced to seven years' penal servitude. BURGLARY AT GRESFORD. Owen Jones, 18, groom, was charged with burglariously enter- ing premises belonging to J. H. Foulkes, Esq., at Gresford, and stolen various articles of clothing.—Nine months' imprison- ment. THEFT AT LLANGOLLEN. Robert Jones, 50, labourer, was charged with having, at Llan- gollen, on the 27th Feb., 1839, stolen one fowl, the goods of Edward ALLEGED THEFT AT LLANFERRAS. Jones-Two months. Peter Edwards, 30, farmer, was charged with having, at Llan- ferras, on the 12th of March, 1869, stolen a quantity of iron, the property of George Hasweil, official liquidator of the East Pant- du and Colomondy Mining Company, Limited.—Acquitted.— No true bill was found against the same prisoner for having, at Llanferras, on the 11th of February, 1869. stolen three iron bars, valued at 4s., the property of Bryan George Davies Cook, Esq. Mr Swetenham prosecuted in every case; the prisoner, Peter Edwards, was defended by Mr Ignatius Williams.
MR DISRAELI AS AN ANGEL OF…
MR DISRAELI AS AN ANGEL OF LIGHT. In the debate which has just closed as we go to press, both sides have laboured under a great difficulty. It was not the mere knowledge of the inevitable result of all their talking which oppressed the speakers, for that can hardly be called an uncommon feature of a parlia- mentary debate, though in the present instance it was cast up into more prominent relief by the decisive verdict of the country. There was the additional difficulty of feeling that the principle had been discussed through and through already, and that, the principle once accepted, the machinery of the Bill was beyond criticism. There was nothing new to bring to light, no persuasion needed on one side, no protestation of any use on the other. As Mr MIALL said, there was an air of unreality about the speaking; and with so many questions waiting to be dealt with by Parliament, nearly a week's talk on a foregone conclusion is apt to irritate. It was bad enough for the Liberals, for platitudes come fast when plain conclusions have to be elaborately pointed out, and nothing is harder perhaps than to prove that the sun shines; but the Con- servatives were in far sorrier plight, for they had to follow a leader who inaugurated the campaign by a brilliant dis- play of fireworks instead of a cannonade. Never before, we suppose, did a statesman of genius fail on a great occasion as Mr DISRAELI failed on Thursday. The criticisms of the papers are not severe, they are contemptuous. Flimsiness relieved with spangles-the definition of a columbine's skirt," says the Times; "beyondmeasure weak, vague, and almost maundering," is the language of the Saturday Review; the backbone of his speech was either illusion, or attempt to create illusion," thinks the Spectator, which does pronounce the oration a brilliant literary achievement, but, as a party-speech, calls it "a dead failure." The speech which stands out in clearest contrast is Mr BRIGHT'S; and reading the two utterances, nobody can fail to wonder afresh at the sight which now presents itself, of Christian men frantically denouncing the PREMIER and his party, and enthusiastically following Mr DISRAELI. Such a spectacle has seldom been witnessed before in the annals of the Church, full of startling paradoxes as those annals are. Great religious parties have followed fanatics often enough, and often enough ignored reason and justice in pursuit of what, by a mar- velous perversion, they considered the interests of re- ligion;" but not often have they chosen a superb actor to lead them, while they showered upon a conspicuous Christian the most passionate invectives which even a politico-religious vocabulary can produce. That, to a large section of the Church in England, Mr DISRAELI should represent the principle of Christianity and Mr BRIGHT, let us say, the principle of the Prince of Darkness," and that the speeohes of the two men should remain as mani- festoes of those opposing principles, surely will be one of the most curious chapters in religious history. Mr DISRAELI, appealing to nothing high, falsifying the facts of the past and drawing comically sensational pictures of the future, speaking in hollow tones of the faith which he is chosen to defend, we are +Q ^gjieve is the leader of the faith* I ful; and Mr BRtâIlT, making the speech he made on Friday, a chief of the fallen angels, of whom Mr GLADSTONE is the great captain! It must be a strange jumble altogether in the minds of the pious followers of the author of Vivian Grey. Mr DISRAELI, who seems so artificial, the true man; Mr GLADSTONE, who carries sincerity in every tone, the hypocrite Mr DISRAELI a kind of Archangel Michael, and Mr GLADSTONE the Devil! The supporters of the Irish Church are sincerely to be pitied. They must some- times, we imagine, renew the fancies of their youth and pinch" their minds to see whether, after all, it is not & hideous dream that has disturbed their peace so long. We shall hardly be surprised if Thursday's speech, which, we read in one of the leading jurnals, sent a visible shudder through the Opposition Benches, helps to wake them from the strange delirium that has possessed the souls who find an apostle in Mr DISRAELI. If his speech is a call to fight the good fight," and Mr BRIGHT'S is the voice of the Tempter, how things must have changed in eighteen centuries !-Oswestry Advertiser.
REVIEW OF THE BRITISH CORN…
REVIEW OF THE BRITISH CORN TRADE. (From the Mark Lane Express.) For the most part the weather of the past week has continued seasonably cold and dry, with frosty nights, which have greatly helped to pulverize the soil and prepare it for sowing wheie this has not been accomplished. So serviceable and timely has been the check that the for- wardness of the fruit-trees has been much reduced, and an unusually fine show of pear blossom near to opening has become common, without any signs of damage. The wheat recently thrashed has come better to hand, and a good measure of farm labour has been got through. But the long range of dull markets culminated last week in one of the heaviest declines on wheat since harvest, say 3s. to 4s. per qr. in London, without the slightest symptoms as yet of any reaction, although the country fall is not equal to this. So long as Spring corn ruled relatively high, wheat seemed safe; but since the general reduction in prices, this support has been withdrawn and those who made the earliest sales, which certainly paid well, have very good reason to congratulate themselves. Nothing now can revive the market but the refusal of farmers to sell or the stoppage of foreign import. It seems very im- probable, however, that both should happen together, but if they should, a temporary enhancement would be certain. There is nothing yet in the aspect of the crops to cause much disquietude, though general reports are not so fav- ourable, yet with an evident surplus on last year's crop of wheat, both in America and Europe, these countries, from monetary pressure, are likely to send on fair shipments, still the amount seems likely to be lessened by the dim- inution in the rates, as some will prefer taking the chance of another harvest to making large sacrifices. Thus Ham- burg, though cheaper, has not equally fallen, having received fair orders from Portugal; and the best high- mixed at Danzic being scarce is not to be had under 53s., cost and freight, merchants there thinking wheat has reached its lowest. In Paris again, which of late has taken almost the lead in a decline, there is more firmness exhibited; while there has been very little change in Belgium, Holland, and the interior of Germany. New York reports a further decline, not as the consequence of present receipts but of future anticipations. The sales noted last week were 56,208 qrs. wheat, at 48s. 10d., against 43,457 qrs. at 73s.

[ THE UpPER SEVERN AND VERNIEW.-The frosty weather and cold winds of last week and the early portion of this quite put a stop to angling. The wind got round more to the S. W. on Tuesday, but it is still cold, and the snow lies on the distant mountains. The March brown has been on the water quite thick in sheltered spots of the river, but I have not seen any fish rise to them. Only three salmon have been taken with the net in the Verniew as yet, and not any with the rod. One good fish, however, was hooked with fly, but broke away. The take with the nets in the Severn has been moderate. There has been no netting in the middle or upper portion of the Verniew as yet this season, and probably there will be none this year, which ought to be an inducement to anglers to take out salmon licences (10s.) Most of the fishing is free. The Verniew is very low and fine. The Severn is not so low, and is a bad colour, and looks very snowy. The wind has now got back again to the N.E., I with a cold drizzling rain. —A., in the Field.
