For the months of July, August, and September the quantity shirked was 22,887 tons, as against 20,916 tons for the corresponding period of the previous year. Mr J. Menzies (chairman of the Finance Com- mittee) observed that the receipts for the past month had been unusually heavy, and the exporta- tion of states was constantly increasing. The Chairman: It snows that the times are improving, EXTRA CHARGE FOR WATER. Mr Menzies referred to an item in the report of the Finance Committee to the effect that the Corporation had made a charge of 5s per cent upon the contract money for water in connection with the improvements new in progress at the new harbour. Mr J. Issard Davies explained that it was cus- tomary' for the Corporation to charge extra for water in connection with new buildings. Mr J. Menzies remarked that a charge had never been made before. Mr J. Robinson Don t pay it. The minutes of the committee were adopted, it being resolved to pay the amount claimed. VOTE OF CONDOLENCE. The Chairman observed that since the last meeting of the Trust death bad again visited them and taken away one of the members. Ha referred to the late Lord Alexander Paget, who, though he had not been long a member, took a great interest in the Board, and bad attended its meetings as well as he could. He thought it would be a graceful act to pass a vote of condol- ence with his widow, Lady Alexander Paget, and his brother, the Mai qais of Anglesey. Mr J. Robinson seconded, and it was unani- mously aSree^^ri0iT OF A TRUSTEE. Mr Issard Davies, in the absence of Mr R. Thomas, moved the election of Mr Hugh Jones, Marble Works, to the vacancy on the Trust caused by the death of Capt Elias. That gentleman's name he said, had been withdrawn on two former occasions, and seeing that there was another va- cancy on the Trust he suggested that the Board should not divide, as Mr E. Hughes, who had bee" nominated at the previous meeting, could be proposed at the next meeting. Mr J. Robinson seconded, and the motion was agreed to. Mr Davies' suggestion respecting Mr E. Hughes being acted upon. A COMPLAINT. A communication was read from the Utfntrvon, Liverpool, and Menai Straits Steamship Company complaining that the works now carried on by the company's warehouse blocked the way to the north end of the building, thereby causing inconvenience and loss to their customers. The company would be pleased if the Trust could make a passage for vehicles to the north end of the warehouse. Mr J. Issard Davies was not aware that the com- pany jthad a right to utilize the rcadway to the north end of the warehouse. Mr Menzies There is nothing now to be done but complete the works. The Surveyor said that the remaining portion of the work would be finished by the end of the year if the weather was not so bad as it had been. On the motion of Mr J. Issard Davies, seconded by Mr Menzies, it was resolved that a letter be sent to the company in the terms of the explana- tion offered by the surveyor. THE SURVEYOR'S REPORT. The Surveyor reprrted as follows :-The unpre- cedented storm and high tide 9f Thursday, the 8th October caused considerable damage to the timber groin at Abermenai, several of the larger piles having uprooted and broken at various places for a considerable length. Almost the whole of the backing, which was partly rotted, was also carried away and the accumulation of sand between the two groins disappeared. I am pleased to re- port that after such an exceptional trial only in one place and that at the western end was there iinv'trace of the formation of a breach over the whofe length of the arm, but;there were indications that the waves must have washed over a large Dorticn of the lower levels. The breach reierred to was made at the wall which is at the west end through its exposure after the removal of the sand around it, and a small gutter was made in the weakest part. This section has now been made good, and the wall built up and strengthened and raised with a quantity of sandbags, and I feel con- fident that it will within a space of two or three years' time be well protected by substantial sand dnnts, provided there is no similar disturbance to the experienced. The missing timber has been mostly recovered, and is being; replaced. The itorm blowing from the south caused a quantity of shingle to travel westward from the point in front oi Belan, which has mostly been deposited between that p&Tt and the hut. I anticipate that the work of repair will be complete about the end of next week, leaving the whole secure for the coming winter. The expenditure has been £ 28. New works The springs of the early part of the month being accompanied by westerly winds were again unfavourable fo* low tide wont. The lower courser of the outside wall of the extension of the new slip has, therefore, not been completed. A length of about 70 feet of the inner wall of the present slip has been put back the required length. The cost 'of the work is JE 1087. Mr Menzies considered that the report was very satisfactory respecting Abermenai, and they might congratulate themselves upon the result. Mr T. Owen said they could very well do so, as he never saw such a place as it was some years ago. THE BOARD OF TRADE AND THE PROPOSED BRIDGE OVER THE ABER. The Chairman read correspondence that had passed between the Trust and the Board of Trade respecting the application of the former for per- mission to construct a bridge across the River Seiont at Aber Ferry. This matter came under the consideration of the Trust in July when a letter Avas read from the Board of Trade stating that they were unable to give their sanction to the proposed works until the Trustees had come to some arrangement with them for the acquisition of the Crown rights in the tidal lands whieh would be occupied thereby. They were prepared to grant the Trustees, in consideration of the sum of £1, a conveyance of the rights and interests of the Crown in so much of the foreshore and bed of the River Seiont at Aber Ferry below high water mark as would be required for the purposes of the' works in question. Some of the Trustees then contended that the consent of the Board of Trade was not necessary, as the land was vasled in the Trust, and was their property. A sllall committee was appointed to draw out a reply to the letter referred to. Subsequently the Board of Trade wrote calling attention to section 2 of the General Pier and Harbour Act, Amendment Act, i%2, under which Act the Car- narvon Harbour Order 'S77 was made. The Board were advised that the povrors of the Trustees to execute works authorised by cecu. r 4 01 L::4 Order ceased 6n the 28th of June, 1882, and the Board 01 Trade could not, therefore, give their consent to the construction of the bridge under the provisions of the Order, Attention was futthex called to section 15 of the Order by which it was enacted that the Order should not be taken as coasenting to the surrender of any rights, interests, or powers, &e., transferred to the management of the Board of Trade by the Crown Lands Act, 1866. The ¡' Board assumed that the Trustees had power other than those with which they were vested by the Order of 1877 to construct the bridge in question, and they would be prepared to assent to the works ) being proceededtwith upon the Trustees comply- ing with the conditions contained in the previous letter from the Department. In reply to the foregoing the following letter was sent to the Board of Trade by the Trustees:- I am directed by the Trustees to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 6th August last on the subject of their application for permission to construct a bridge accross the river Seiont at Aber Ferry. The Trustees were advised that section 12 of the General Pier and Harbour Act, 1861, Amendment Act, 1862, only places a limit upon the right of the undertakers of any work to use the powers conferred upon them bo the Provisional Order and does not limit the necessity of ob- taining the consent of your Board under section 4 of the Order of 1877 to any harbour works carried out under any other Parliamentary authority. They beg to submit that the consent of your Board is only required for,the purpose ofjpreventing injury to navigation, and that the Provisional Or- der contains nothing by which the Trustees lose their right under the Act ot 1793 to u"e without payment the shore of the Crown within the limits of the harbour required for the purpose of their works and which right they have hitherto exercised without question." Replying to the letter of the Trustees, the Board of Trade wrote as follows :—" With further refer- ence to your letter of the 14th instant, relative to the application of the Carnarvon Harbour Trust for permission to construct a bridge across the river Seiont at Aber Ferry I am now directed by the Board of Trade to request that you will favour the Board with a reference to the stthus in the Act of 1793 (33 George III., c. 123), under which it is assumed that the tidal land in the harbour of Carnarvon are vested in the Trustees." Mr Menzies said that the Board of Trade wanted to make out for the first time that the Trustees should pay them an annual rent on account of any improvements that might be made to the harbour. The Trustees bad exercised the rights they now possessed for 103 years, and he maintained it was quite clear, according to section 10, that the land in question was vested in the Trust. The question vfes one of great importance, and it had been thought advisable to ascertain tho opinion of counsel upon it. After further discussion, it was resolved to furnish the Board of Trade with the information asked for.

RAILWAY TO THE DOCK. Mr Menzies explained that this matter was still before the Works Committee, and there was no report to make.

THE PRINCE JA JA IN COLLISION. '7 A PASSENGER KILLED. On Thursday afternoon a telegram was received at Carnarvon from Liverpool from the mate of the Prince Ja Ja to the effect that the vessel had beeu in collision, that he was safe, and that he knew nothiug about the steamer nor the rest of the crew. Naturally this intelligence caused great ex- citement, as nearly all, if not all the crew, belong to the town. A number of t ie men's relatives were seen weeping in the streets, and much sym- pathy was expressed with them by the passers-by. Happily, later in the day, a further telegram was received stating that the Prince Ja Ja had ar- rived at Beaumaris, having been in collision, and that the mate was i:iissing. It appears that the collision occurred a! >ut four o'clock on Thursday morning, during a u.-nse fog, at a point somewhere between Crosby Lightship and the Rock Light- house at New Brighton, just outside the port of Liverpool. The City of Dublin Steampacket Co.'s steam "Wicklow," which left the North Wall, Dublin, on Wednesday night, with a full comple- ment of passengers, reached the Mersey bar be- tween three and four o'clock on Thursday morning. A dense fog had by this time settled down over the estuary, and, her engines having been slowed down, the "Wicklow" proceeded very slowly to- wards Liverpool. Suddenly another steamer, the Prince Ja Ja," bound for Carnarvon, loomed out of the fog and collided with the "Wicklow," striking her on the starboard quarter and stbving in her bow. Immediately after the impact the vessels parted, and for a time it was believed that the "Prince Ja Ja" had gone down," the fog being so thick that her movements could not be seen, but it was afterwards discovered that she had survived the collision, although she was found to have been seriously damaged about the bows. Among the steerege passengers on board the Wicklow were a man named Charles O'Brien, of Limerick, and his wife They were sitting in the forecastle, taking tea, at the time of the accident, the man being seated close to the side of the ship where the Ja Ja struck. So violent was the impact that the iron plates of the Wicklow curled inwards, and, encircling O'Brien, crushed him in a dreadful manner. The screams of the un- fortunate man's wife soon brought assistance, but it was with the greatest difficulty that he was ex- tricated from the coil of twisted plate by which he I was held. O'Brien was found to have been ter- ribly injured, and he died in the course of half an hour. Mrs O'Brien sustained some flight cuts j about the limbs, and on the arrival of the Wick- low at Liverpool she had her injuries attended to at the Northern Hospital. The man was a sailor, and was going to Liverpool in search of employ- ment. The Wicklow did not reach the landing stage until between 12 and 1 o'clock on Thursday, having anchored for several hours outside after the collision, in consequence of the density of the fog. The Ja Ja arrived in Carnarvon with the early morning tide on Friday. There was a great hole in the upper part of the bow, entirely elear of the water, and about a third of the foremast had been broken off. Captain Anderson, the master, refused to be interviewed with regard to the matter. The vessel steamed to Liverpool on Saturday, in order to be repaired. OPENING OF THE CORONER'S INQUIRY. Mr T. E. Sampson, Liverpool city coroner, on Saturday opened an inquiry into the death of C. O'Brien, agaed forty one years, able seaman, who lost his life on Thursday last, in consequence of the collision.-Mary O'Brien deposed that deceased was her husband, and up to a fortnight ago they lived in Frederick street, Limerick. Her husband being out of wcrk, they decided to go to Liver- pool, thinking that he would have a better chance of getting employment. They accordingly left Dublin on Wednesday evening last on the steamer Wicklow," as steerage passengers. Her husband was injured in the collision with the Prince Ja Ja," and he died as a consequence of those injuries. —Police-constable 274A (Harper) then gave evidence as to the removal of the body to the Prince's Dock mortuary, and the inquiry was ad- journed until to-day (Thursday).—Mr Bateson appeared for the owners of the Prince Ja Ja," and the City of Dublin Steamship Company was j represented by Mr Birkett.

LORD NEVVBOHOIGH AND FES- TINIOG. On Friday night Lord Newborough entertained to dinner at the Queen's Hotel, Festiniog, a large number of persons who had subscribed to his tes- timonial on the occasion of his coming to age. The vice chairs were occupied by the Rev D. Richards and Mr J. Newton Jones. Lord New- borough proposed "Success to Blaenau Festiniog," which was responded to in stirring address by Mr William Davies (Cae'rblaidd) and Mr Andreas Roberts. Our Chairman (Lord Newborough) was proposed by Mr H. R. Armstrong and drunk with enthusiasm. Poetical effusions followed by Dr Roberta (Isalit), Mr Alltwen Williams, and Eos Barlwyd. Messrs David Francis, W. O. Williams and H. E. Hughes, harpist and penillion singers, gave a selection of music during the dinner, after which there was a firework diptay.

CONWAY COUNTY COURT. The National Eisteddfod Meat Account. On Friday, before Sir H. Lloyd, Richard Medli- cott, Oswald street; G. H. Terry, Belmont road; Fred Thistlewhite, Ernest Thistlewhite, and Joseph E11is-all of Liverpool; were sued by John Jones and Co., Limited, meat purveyors, Llan- dudno, for the sum of JE20, alleged to be due for meat supplied to, them as caterers at the Llan- dudno Eisteddfod. Mr W. D. Henderson, Llan- dudno, appeared for the plaintiffs, and Mr W.. Russell for the defendants Terry and the Thistle- whites, who alleged that they were not in partner- ship with Medlicott. That case against Ellis was withdrawn.—John Jones (who was the chairman of the Eisteddfod Committee) stated that on June 20 he was applied to by the defendant Medlicott to supply meat from his firm for the catering booths at the Eisteddfod. They agreed as to the prices, conditional upon a reference being given. The reference was not sent, but Medlicott came to Llandudno the Saturday before the Eisteddfod and gave a very large order. He asked Medlicott a second time for the reference, but he replied that there was a time when nona would have bean required, and when he could have paid £ 900 for meat on delivery, he having catered at the com- ing of age of Lord Mostyn, but now he was not in that position. Mr Medlicott went on to say that he had others with him in the concern which would enable him to pay for the meat on delivery. Was not that good enough ? The witness replied that it was, and the meat was sent on that under- standing. Owing to inquiries made as to .Mr Medlicott's financial position, the meat would not have been delivered unless they were satisfied as to other names in the concern. When he went on the Eisteddfod grounds he spoke to G. H. Terry and the Thistlewhites, and had been told that Terry was a moneyed man. In reply to an appli- cation for the money, Terry told him that he had not taken enough to pay the expenses; also that he had lent Medlicott money, and was to have that back again. The witness went to Medlicott and told him this, but Medlicott told him empha- tically it was all a lie, and that they were all equally liable. Between them they paid about £ 6. It was stated that a similar case had been before Judge Collier in Liverpool, and it was decided to await hie decision as to whether the parties were in partnership.—Robert Hughes and Sons, auc- tioneers, Llanrwst, for whom Mr W. P. Roberts appeared, sued W. Thomas, butcher, Colwyn Bay, and W. Evans, farmer, Colwyn Bay, for X8 159 Od, on a j bill of exchange. Mr Porter was for the defendants. During the hearing of the case it appeared that the defendant W. Thomas was all the tame interrupting, whereupon his Honour said f\ "I can see what condition you are in I f." a J°urn the case, and you will have to pay day."—Mr E.

The sec- retary is Mr T. O. Morgan, from whom all in- formation can Ve'had. { BOROUGH MAGISTRATES' COURT.—OH Monday, J before Mess s G. R. Rees and J. Issard Davies, | William Jones, Llanberis, was charged with being I drunk in charge of a horse and cart, and was fined 20s including costs. He was further charged with I driving furiously through the streets of the town, and was mulcted in a similar penalty.-Henry Gregory and his wife, who reside in Baptist street, were charged with assaulting P.C. 16 whilst in f the execution of his duty. The defendants were J also charged with drunkenness. Both cases were j adjourned for a week.—Ellen Parry, Pool street, j and Robert Williams werejfihed os including costs, { and 6s 6d including costs respectively for drunken- I ness. { THE GUARDIANS AND THE COAL TENDER.—At the fortnightly meeting of the Board of Guardians on Saturday, several of the members pointed out that the coal supplied to the workhouse by a local coal merchant was not of the quality which the latter originally agreed' to supply.—Mr T. W. Williams said they should inquire whether the coal was the beat Wigan coal which was to be supplied according 'to the terms of the contract.—After some discussion a committee was appointed to make the necessary inquiries, and if the contractor failed to prove to their satisfaction that the coal supplied was such as had been contracted for, he was to remove what remained at once at his own expense. COUNTY MAGISTRATES' COURT.-At the County Magistrates' Court, on Saturday, before Mr John Robinson and other magistrates, the adjourned hearing took place of a charge against a young man named Robert Jones, of iihiwlas, by the head gamekeeper to Mr Assheton Smith of trespassing in pursuit of game. At the last court the evidence as to the identity of the defendant was of such a conflicting nature that the Bench granted an ad- journment in order that additional witnesses might be produced for the defence.—Mr Allanson, on behalf of the prosecution, now stated that he had failed to get any evidence to rebut that ten- dered for the defence on the last occasion, the offi- cials of the quarry at which the defendant was employed being unable to state whether the de- fendant was at work or not at the time the alleged offence took place,-Aftet a consultation the Bench announced that the case was dismissed.— Mr R. Roberts, who appeared fox* the defendant, I, complained that he had been put to the trouble of I bringing"1 down several witnesses to prove the whereabouts of the defendant, who was absolutely innocent of the charge. He made an application for costs, which the Bench refused. BURNT TO DEATH.—On Wednesday, before Mr J. H. Bodvel Roberts, coroner, an inquest was held on the body of Ann Williams Jones, aged 4 years, the child of Mr Williams Jones, Pool Hill. It appeared from the evidence that the child on Thursday was left alone in a bedroom, where there waa fire, while her mother went to the kitchen. When the latter returned to the bedroom, she found that the child's dress had caught fire, and though she succeeded in extinguishing the flames the girl was severly burnt and she lingered iu great pain until Wednesday morning when death took place. A verdict of Accidental Death" was returned.

CARNARVON COUNff COURT. I WEDNESDAY.—-Before his Honour Judge' Bi Horatio Lloyd. TRESPASS. Mrs Sarah Jones and Mr D. R. Roberts, Pen- ygroes, sued Mr Henry O. Parry, of the same place, for closing a road which led to the back of Auckland. House, which belongs to Mrs Sarah Jones, and to buildings belonging to Mr Roberts. Mr Lloyd George, M.P., appeared for the plain- tiffs, and Mr Evan R. Davies, Pwllheli, defended. The plaintiffs said that they claimed the use of ibe road according to the lease, and that they have been using it for years, and Mr Jol n Davies and Mr Watkin were called to prove this. The defen- dant said that the part of the road which he had closed belonged to him under the deed by which the ground, on which his house stands was con- veyed to him, and that he had the right of closing it. His Honour gave judgment in favour of the plaintiffs, the defendant to pay 5s damages and all costs. A SHIP'S ACCOUNTS. Mary Williams, Bodlondeb, Portdinorwic, 1). Charlotte Roberts, Menai street, of the same place. —Mr Richard Roberts appeared for the plaiatiff, and Mr D. Lloyd George on behalf of the defen- dant.-The plaintiff, as managing owner of the schooner Menai," claimed the sum of £51178 7d as her share of the profits of 6-16ths of the schooner for the last fii years, the defendant being owner of the remaining shares of the vespel, she being the ship's husband," ajid her husband master of the vessel. Mr R. Roberts stated that the action had been remitted from the High Court to the County Court, the "Menai having in the meantime fonadered in the Sound of Mull. Mr EHis Roberrs, ship broker, Carnarvon, had been appointed by both plaintiff and defendant to prepare the accounts and arbitrate between them. It took him a considerable time to search the accounts, for which plaintiff and defendant paid him, he acting as sole arbitrator between the parties. Upon the presentation of his award, the defendant took exception to the amount found by Mr E. Roberts to be due from her to the plaintiff. Before the action was remitted, Messrs Lloyd George & George, the solicitors for the de- fendant, opposed the award. Mr R. Roberts stated that the case involved a considerable time to vouch the accounts and suggested to his Honour that the matter should be gone into before the Registrar as arbitrator.—Mr Lloyd George asked his Honour to order that the whole of the papers should be left at the office of the Registrar, and that all the items which were not disputed should be agreed upon, so as to reduce the issue to as narrow a compass as possible, ard that Mr C. A. Jones take the disputed items as Registrar of the court.—Mr R. Roberts thought that his Honour would hardly impose this task upon the Registrar, as it would entail some considerable time-that the matter should be referred to the Registrar as arbitrator, for him to present his award to the court. -His Honour remarked that a great deal of consideration was shown towards the Registrar, but none to him, for they were quite ready to keep him there all day (laughter). However, the best thing would be to refer the items in dispute to the Registrar for him to report to the Court, and he made an order accordingly.- Mr Lloyd George then asked His Honour to order that the papers should be left in the court for the inspection of the defendant.—Mr Ellis Roberts mentioned that he had a lien upon the papers for the considerable work which had devolved upon him since his award for attendance upon the de- fendant and her solicitors.—His Honour stated that the lien would hold good, and the papers would be left at the Registrar's Office until the charge was ( paid. —————————=——

Holyhead. PASSENGER TRAFFIC. — Notwithstanding the lateness of the season, large number of harvest- men continue to arrive at Hclyhead by rail, en route for their homes in Ireland. CONCERT. — On Tuesday evening, at the Town Hall, the St, Cybi Habitation of the Prim- rose League held a miscellaneous entertainment. t Songs and musical performances were rendered by a number of friends and members of the League. Mr J. E. Fincham, the provincial secretary for North Wales, delivered an address on the objects and work of the League. SUDDEN DEATH.-This week we have to record the sudden death of Mrs Carter, the wife of Mr Carter, chief officer of the coastguards. Mrs Carter was only ill for two days, and nothing serious was expected, so that her sudden demise came as a surprise to the entire neighbourhood. Mrs Carter was only 37 years of age, and leaves behind her a large number of young children. Mr Carter was recently promoted here from a rcoastguard station in the North of Ireland, to succeed Mr Murch, who has retired from the service on a pension. Mr Carter had, however, previously resided at Holyhead, and is well known and highly respected here. The deepest sympathy is felt for him in his sudden bereavement. The interment took place on Tuesday afternoon at the Maeshyfryd Cemetery. REMOVAL.—We learn with regret that Detective Inspector Perkins is about to be removed from Holyhead Railway Station to Crewe. Mr Perkins, during his residence, at Holyhead, has made a large circle of friends, and has interested himselt in local matters. He is a very popular vocalist, and his services as a comic singer were in great demand. Recently he has been endeavouring to promote the establishment bf a St. John's branch of the Ambulance Association, and it is to be hoped that, now he is leaving the neighbourhood, the matter will not be dropped as it is of great import- ance that in a town like Holyhead, with such an extensive railway and steamboat connection, men should be trained in ambulance work to meet the emergencies constantly arising. BAND OF HOPE MOVEMENT. — The English Presbyterian Band of Hope has just commenced operations for the ensuing session. Two lady presidents with two vice-presidents together with the other officers have been elected. This Band of Hope in the past has been a very flourishing one, but the promoters have been somewhat hampered for the want of adequate accommodation to carry on their operations. This year a large number of friendJ have volunteered to render assistance, and the workers are determined that this will be amoigt successful session. We are glad to learn that some other bands of hope in the town are also commencing their operations for the winter season. HYFRYDLE DEBATING SOCIETY.-At the above society, on Wednesday evening, Rev John Williams presiding, an interesting discussion took place on the Eastern Question.
