LONDON WINE AND SPIRIT STORES, TERRACE ROAD, IS NOW OPEN, BY THE PROPRIETOR OF THE WELL-KNOWN ADJOINING ESTABLISHMENT, I THE RAILWAY TEA WAREHOUSE, NORTH PARADE, ABERYSTWYTH. Now surely Aberystwyth must admit That JAMES has made a most decided hit. THE OPENING OF THE LONDON WINE AND SPIRIT STORES, in connection with the Railway Tea Warehouse, North Parade, is an event that will long be remembered by the inhabitants of Aberystwyth. Every new channel of commerce opened in direct communication with the metropolis is an advantage to Aberystwyth, and the more London capital imported into the borough the better, and when that capital is employed in providing articles of the highest excellence and purity so much the better for the domestic comfort and happiness of every household. The Wines and Spirits of this establishment will be drawn from the wood in all their individual purity, without the least approximation to anything in the shape of adulteration, so much practised at the present day. The same may be said of the splendid Ales and Porter, all tapped and drawn from the wood in the highest possible condition and when we add that the whole of this carefully selected and well bought Stock will be Sold to the inhabitants of Aberystwyth at the very smallest return upon the outlay of capital, we think we have stated enough to induce them to patronize this new emporium of active and beneficial commerce.

HUMPHREY'S GL YCEROARNICINE OINTMENT Colonies for several years past, and its healing and soothins properties as a medicament are such that the more it is known the more it is prized by the public of all classes. Thousands of persons have been cured by it who previously had been suffering for years, and also had given up nil hope. Though mild it pene- trates the pores, expels all gross tumours from the system, and ultimately removes the latent causes of disease. In all kinds of ulcerous wounds it is without a rival. HUMPHREY'S OINTMENT will be found thoroughly efficacious in the following ailments and complaints, which it will relieve and cure without fail:— Scorbutic and other Ulcers* Sore Legs, Sore Breasts, Scrofulous Tumours, Burns, Scalds, Sore or Scabby Heads, Chilblains, Sprains, Bruises, and all inflamed diseases of the Skin. The daily increasing demand fully proves its wonderful efficacy. No family should be without a box of Humphrey's Ointment. In boxes at Is. lid., 2s. 9d., and 4s. 6d. each.

A WORD FROM DOLGELLEY.
A WORD FROM DOLGELLEY. SIR,-Your correspondent in your last issue of the Aberystwyth Times and Cambrian News under the heading, "The Old Chapel," and also in the report of the proceedings in the County Court, says that "the bank- ruptcy of the contractors of the New Congregational Chapel in this town is attributed in a great measure to this contract." I think, in justice to the Church assembling in the New Chapel, you ought to give the same publicity to the following fact:—That the architect of the New Chapel, Mr Thomas, of Glandwr, states (after a most careful examination into the costs of building the chapel) That its full value had been paid to the contractors, and a little more in the shape of payments for certain things charged as extras, which were included in the contract." I do not mean to say that the contractors are not losers by this contract, but I venture to say that their losses were not the consequence of a "bad bargain," as stated by your correspondent, for several tenders for the erection of the chapel were received by the committee, which were lower than the one accepted. Yours, Dolgelley. IVON.
THE ABERYSTWYTH WATER QUESTION.
THE ABERYSTWYTH WATER QUESTION. DEAK SIR-I have read a letter from Mr J. G. Williams in your impression of the 30th ult. I will first tender him my thanks for so candidly approving my plans for dealing with the town property. I desire, however, to comment on that portion of his letter in which he objects to the water being brought from Domen, because it is unfit for use. I refer him to Pro- fessor Whitbrd's analysis, where he will see the two streams supplied water of exceptional purity, without a trace of lead being discovered. This should sunice; but I must dissent from the as- sertion that Mr Thomas Duncan was unable to see and properly judge as to the service, and will moreover refer to the unusually dry season, as a strong proof that did these springs come from a lead lode, its presence would be detected with greater ease. I have, however, to ask Mr Williams how water could come from the Great Darren lode, when thousands of tons of lead, and hundreds of thousands of tons of stone have been excavated below, and a level or gallery is driven from the valley 600 feet below ? The analysis, and there being no foundation for water to rest upon, shall be the explanation which Mr Williams professes to desire and receive from me. One other remark as to Rhosgoch mine; this is working below Domen, and below the site of the proposed reservoir. All other remarks are fair questons to be discussed by the Town Commissioners, should they decide to entertain the {>lan. Into their hands will I therefore, for the present, eave this matter.—I remain, dear Sir, yours faithfully, JONATHAN PELL.
LIVERPOOL CORN.—TUESDAY.
LIVERPOOL CORN.—TUESDAY. Good attendance. At a slight decline there would be a large demand for Wheat; holders, however, resist strongly, and sales passing are at LATE PRICES. Flour slow, but steady. Oats and Oatmeal dull. Peas, Beans, and Barley quiet. Indian Corn fully 6d. lower. Mixed, 34s. 6d. for old; and 33s. for new. LONDON, MONDAY.—We had heavy supplies of foreign barley and oats last week, but the other arrivals were moderate. Ex- ports 70 qrs. Oats, 2,410 qrs. Rye, 10 qrs. beans, 300 cwts. Flour. English Wheat 5,157 qrs., foreign 10,162 qrs. The show of wheat this morning exhibited on the Kentish and Essex stands, though made up partly of overleft s imples, was but moderate. Some of them were, however, exceedingly rough: the heavy rains having penetratad the stacks, these were wholly neglected, and the best conditioned only sold slowly at a REDUCTION of TWO to THREE SHILLINGS PER QR. The foreign trade was mostly suspended, but to sell in retail it was necessary to accept Is. less per qr. Country Flour 21,501 sacks, foreign 448 sacks 997 brls. The weather being mudi against business, prices were with difficulty supported of Norfolks and other country qualities. To sell foreign, sacks or barrels, required some concession to buyers; town prices were unchanged. Maize 2,830 qrs. This grain was dull, at Is. dec.ine. British Barley 5,610 qrs., foreign 53,284 qrs. The immense supply of foreign quite staggered the market, English malting sorts were_down fully Is. per qr., and foreign of all qualities was Is. to 2s. lower. The Malt trade was heavy, at some decline to sell freely. English Oats 827 qrs., Scotch 609 qrs., Irish 3,410 qrs., foreign 34,445 qrs. The good supplies and mild weather suggesting a probable opening of the Baltic, sales could only be made at 6d. to Is. less money. Native Beans 582 qrs., foreign 3,300 qrs. New English were again down Is. per qr. English Peas 262 qrs., foreign 110 qrs. White peas declined Is. per qr. CURRENT PRICES OF BRITISH GRllS AND FLOUR IN MARK LANE. Shillings 40 qr.

Sturge's Corn Circular.)—During the present week wheat has been firmly held for previous rates, with which buyers would not comply. Barley declining. Oats only taken in retail. Beans wanted. Peas slow sale. At this day's market there was a fair supply of English wheat, which sold at the currency of this day se'nnight. Foreign no lower. Barley of all kinds gave way Is. per qr. Oats unaltered. Beans quite as dear. Peas only taken in retail. Current prices,—Wheat: English white, 6s. 6d. to 7s. 3d. per bushel of 621b; ditto, new, 6s. 9d. to 7s. 2d. ditto; ditto, red, old, 6s. 4d. to 6s. 8J. ditto; ditto, new, 6s. 4d. to 6s. 9d. ditto.

WORCESTER, SATURDAY.—At this day's market there was a full supply of wheat, which sold slowly at last week's rates. Barley Is. per qr. lower. Oats held for previous prices. Beans quite as dear. More enquiry for peas. NOTTINGHAM, SATURDAY.—The show of wheat at this market was about an average, and the demand proved steady, at prices the turn in favour of buyers. Barley and oats were difficult to dispose of at late rates. Beans scarce, and quite as dear. SHREWSBURY, SATURDAY.—There was a good attendance of both farmers and dealers at this market to-day, but no great amount of business was done. For good white wheat the prices ranged from 8s. to 8s. 6d. per 751b, and for red from 7s. 6d. to 89. per same weight. Barley was in good supply, and, with an ave- rage demand, brought from 6s. 10d. to 7s. 8d. per 88 quarts of malting, and from 22s. to 23s. 6d. per sack of 18sc. 101b of grinding. Malt fetched from 9s. to 9s. Sd. per imperial bushel. Oats were a quiet sale, at from 22s. 6d. to 23s. per sack of Use. 101b. Not much doing in peas and beans, the former selling at from 21s. to 22s. 6d. per sack of Use. 101b, and the latter at from 22s. to 23s. per 12sc. sack. WELSHPOOL, MONDAY.—Wheat (per 801b3.), 8s.

CATTLE.
CATTLE. NOTTINGHAM, SATURDAY.—The show of beef was fair, and the primest qualities were quite as dear. Trade for mutton slow, at prices ranging from 6|d. to 7 £ d. per lb. Pork was a small supply, and quite as dear. There was very little doing for veal, and late rates were easily obtained. PETERBOROUGH, SATURDAY.—This market was moderately supplied with beef, and the attendance of buyers and sellers was fair. The demand ruled slow and prices were the same as last week. Mutton changed hands at 7d. to 8d. per lb. Pork a dull sale and quite as dear. Veal made high rates, and very little was done. METROPOLITAN, MONDAY.—The total imports of foreign stock into London last week amounted to 3,477 head. There was an average supply of foreign beasts on sale, the quality of which was generally inferior. Trade consequently ruled dull, and last week's prices were with difficulty supported. From our own grazing districts the arrivals were very moderate, and 0.1. though there were some exceptionally fine animals on the stands, the general condition of the stock was only middling. Really choice Scots and crosses changed hands at full quotations—say 5s. 4d. to 5s. 6d. per 81b; but inferior qualities were dull and drooping. From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire we received about 860 Scots, &c.; from other parts of England, about 420 of various breeds; from Scotland, 427 Scots and crosses; and from Ireland, about 130 oxen. The number of Sheep in the pens was unusually small, and, trade being fairly active, prices advanced considerably. Some few prime Downs and half-breds changed hands at 6s. per 81b, but the general top figure was 5s. 8d. to 5s. lOd. Prime small Calves were steady in value and demand, but large animals were neglected. The Pig trade was quiet at unaltered rates. LIVERPOOL, MONDAY.—There were at market 2,230 beasts and 10,400 sheep..The sale was slow for both beasts and sheep. Prices in favour of buyers. There were a few country buyers in market. Best beasts, 7id. to 7fd.; second best, 6id. to 7d.; inferior, 5d. to 6Jd.; sheep, 6id. to 9d. per lb. METROPOLITAN, THURSDAY.—There was a good demand, at fully Monday's quotations. The calf trade remained unaltered. Our foreign supply consisted of 259 beasts, and 54 calves. Quo- tations per stone of 81b :—Beef, 3s. 4d. to 5s. 4d.; mutton, 4s. 6d. to 6s. Od.; veal, 4s. to 6s. pork, 3s. 4d. to 5s. Beasts at market, 940; sheep and lambs, 5,079); calves, 118; pigs, 50. BIRMINGHAM, THURSDAY.—We were fairly supplied with beasts to-day, which met a heavy trade; Tuesday's quotations barely realised. The supply of sheep was fair; the mutton trade was good, at full prices. Calves, a moderate supply; demand fair, at a shade lower prices. There was a better supply of pigs, which met a steady trade lower prices were submitted to. Quo- t itions:-Beef, 6d. to 7jd. per lb.; mutton, 7d. to 9Jd. per lb.; veal, 6d. to 7Jd. per Ib bacon pigs, 10s. Od. to lis. 6d. per score; porket pigs, 10s. 9d. to 12s. per score.
MISCELLANEOUS.
MISCELLANEOUS. LONDON HOP, MONDAY.—-Fine qualities are now becoming very scarce, and fully maintain recent quotations; ordinary and middling show less inquiry. Continental markets continue dull making quotations somewhat easier. New York advices to the 20th ult. report a quiet market; the continuance of large exports to Europe has now begun to tell on the trade, and it is hoped will result in a better home demand before long. Mid and East Kent £ 2 10 £5 0 £ 8 8 Weald of Kents 2 0 3 5 4 15 Sussex 2 0 SO. 4 4 Farnham 4 0. 5 0 6 0 Country 4 0 4 10 5 5 Bavarians 216. 8 10 4 10 Belgians 2 2 2 10 8 0 Yearlings 3 0 3 10 44 WORCESTER HOP, SATURDAY.—The few fine hops on offer were readily taken at full prices, and all classes being in short supply, find buyers at late rates. More hops were on offer than or late, but a clearance was effected of all parcels offered at market values. I LONDON SEED, MONDAY.-Fine English red Cloverseed comes slowly forward, and commands very high prices; the best foreign qualities were quite as dear, and in pretty good request. White Cloverseed commands full rates. There has been rather more inquiry for good Trefoils, and prices of such are well supported. Mustardseed remains unchanged in value. Foreign Tares werei I in fair demand at quite as much money. I LONDON PROVISION, MONDAY.—The arrivals last week from Ireland were 285 firkins Butter and 3,026 bales Bacon, and from foreign ports 23,849 casks, &c., Butter, and 577 bales Bacon. In the Irish Butter market there is scarcely any business. Foreign in good supply, and prices declined about 2s. per cwt. The Bacon market ruled dull, the business transacted very limited, and best Waterford offering at 76s. on board. LONDON WOOL, MONDAY.-The English wool market shows no alteration of importance. There is very little inquiry for any description, although a few sales of bright-haired descrip tions continue to be made from time to time. In the face of de creasing stocks, however, prices remain firmly supported. CURRENT PRICES OF ENGLISH WOOL. a. d. to S. d.

Sales progressed slowly, at our quotations.

BIRMINGHAM, THURSDAY.—There was a good average atten- dance at the Exchange, to-day; soon after the hour for assem- bling, some degree of consternation was caused by the announce- ment of the failure of the French Iron Company, whose vorks are near Oakengate; the manufacture consists chiefly of wire rods and hoops. Nothing definite transpired relative to the liabilities rumour fixed the amount at between thirty and forty thousand pounds. Circulars were issued yesterday morning, calling a meeting of creditors to be held at the Royal Hotel, Wellington, on Wednesday next. The accounts have been placed in the hands of Mr Bunkle, accountant, of this town, to prepare a statement of the affairs for the meeting. Very little business was transacted at the Exchange to-day; it was mentioned that Mr Garner, formerly Secretary of the Millmen's Association, had taken a small Work at Ettingshall.
"A SUFFERER" ALIAS "A NON-SUBSCRIBER."
"A SUFFERER" ALIAS "A NON-SUBSCRIBER." SIR,-By general consent the establishment of an additional newspaper for this important locality is a matter for warm congratulation. A PENNY PAPER is the order of the day, and such a penny serial as the Times, I have ample assurance, will prove of unspeakable advantage to those who avail them- selves of its use from week to week. I am induced to make these remarks by reason of the fact that for very many years we have been wholly de- pendent upon an isolated medium for the discussion of questions of more or less interest to the place, and conse- quently had simply to complain and endure. From time to time letters have also appeared in a contemporary cal- culated to prejudice the minds of not a few in reference to a variety of subjects, but more especially among others the efforts put forth with a view to secure for the Princi- pality that which it so eminently requires, namely, a University College. This institution, once established, will prove an unspeakable boon to the youth of our land; there can be no mistake about this matter. Notwithstanding this there are a certain class of persons who delight in ill- natured scribbling, and it is to two recent letters in a local paper I wish briefly at this time to refer. Cards were given some time ago to a given number of the children of this town, who, of course, were very pleased and did their utmost in the way of solicitingsub- scriptions from their friends and acquaintances. These children, however, were spoken of by one of the said cor- respondents as "dirty little urchins," and moreover, their warm-hearted and earnest appeals for the smallest possible donation was complained of as a street nuisance," and of course presumed to be an evidence of the failure of the University College movement. Why the same thing is being constantly practised up and down the country in behalf of the Bible Society, missionary societies, and a host of other good institutions, but I never before imagined any one regarded this as an evidence of failure. Letters of this description, brimful of the element of hostility, should be censured by e v ery true lover of our country. Apart altogether from the money gained by ensuring the help of juveniles I have no doubt the moral gain thus effected will be great. Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it." It was somewhat difficult to understand the philosophy of the first of these letters, but on the appearance of the second, the whole matter is at once explained; and here suffice it to say for the instruction of "non-subscribers," that those who give nothing in furtherance of any good object should most assuredly say nothing against such undertaking. 0 In conclusion, I have no doubt that "A Sufferer" and his class would be greatly benefited if they would forth- with cease to be "non-subscribers," by giving in proportion to their means for the promotion of that which will be a great boon to Wales as a whole, and to Aberystwyth in particular.

THE GREAT GALE.
THE GREAT GALE. SERIOUS DAMAGE ON THE WESH COAST. Great losses and serious damage to property are reported from the west coast of Wales, consequent upon the great gale and unusually high tide which prevailed on Sunday and Monday last. That portion of the Welsh Coast Railway which skirts either side of the estuary of the river Dovey has received material injury in many places from the effects of the tide, and the traffic since Sunday morning has been greatly interfered with. One portion, nearly half a mile in length, extending from Towyn station to the Dysynni river, has been almost completely washed away, six large openings in the surface having been made by the tide, which swept over the line with great fury on Sunday morning. The surface has been carried away in some places to a depth of nearly ten feet, the metals being kept up solely by the wooden sleepers. The sea wall near the Friog cutting or "Allt," between Barmouth Junction and Llwyngwril, has also been slightly injured, and another gap has been made be- tween Glandovey Junction and the Vrongoch quarry, on the deviation line, closely adjoing the road to Pennal, at the corner of the marsh. At Ynyslas station a small portion of the line has been washed away, thus interfering somewhat with the Aberystwyth traffic, the passengers being obliged to change trains and walk for a short dis- tance on the road. The down mail, which leaves Machyn- lleth for Aberystwyth at 9.30 a.m., passed over safely on Sunday morning, but the mail on the deviaffon line for Dolgelley and Towyn was fortunately stopped before reaching the first gap made by the tide, and since Sunday morning traffic has been entirely suspended between Bar- mouth Junction and Glandovey Junction, the mails to and from Dolgelley, Towyn, and Aberdovey, being conveyed by mail car. A report was generally prevalent that a large pile bridge, known as the Traeth Bach," some 180 yards in length, which crosses the estuary of the Penrhyn river between Portmadoc and Penrhvndeudraeth stations, close to the old coaching road to Maentwrog and Tany- bwlch, had been washed away, but upon inquiry it seems that the damage has been solely confined to the embankments on each side, the structure itself remaining uninjured. The damage, which was very slight, was speedily repaired, so that the traffic between Carnarvon, Pwllheli, Port- madoc, Barmouth, and Dolgelley has not been in any way impeded. On the news of the disaster reaching Oswestry a strong "break-down" train was at once despatched, and a large body of men have been hard at work day and night repairing the mischief which has been caused. It is rather a singular coincidence that this series of misfortunes to the Cambrian Railway should occur on the anniversary of similar mishaps last year. On that occasion the giving way of bridges, ~yieidingT>f tne-embahknieiits, &c., was solely confined to the Inlaid section; on the present occasion it has been limited entirely to the Coast section. From Aberystwyth and Borth great damage is -reported. From the con- bined effects of rain and wind on Sunday night the Queen's Hotel has been a great sufferer. Many of the windows in the building have been shattered, chim- neys and pillars have been blown down, and the high tide found its way into some of the rooms facing the sea, damaging their contents. The building which is intended for conversion into the University for Wales is reported to be damaged, and many of the houses built on the terrace which fronts the sea have been inundated and received some damage. A portion of the boat-slip has been carried away, and in various parts of the town mischief of some nature is reported from the effects of the gales. At Borth, one or two cottages abutting on the beach were swept away by the tide, the inmates having barely time to escape with their lives. The village itself was completely inundated, and several heads of cattle, sheep, and pigs were destroyed. At Ynyslas the tide was several feet deep in the houses adjoining the railway station, and a quantity of timber, since recovered, was swept away from the timber yard of Messrs Griffith and Jones. On the other side of the Dovey the damage caused by the gale has also been very serious. At Aber- dovey the tide swept over the road in front of the Dovey Hotel and terrace, and did great damage to the shops and houses. The vessels lying in the river also suffered seriously, and between eighty and a hundred tons of coal, belonging to Earl Vane, which were stored on the Upper Wharf, were carried away. One circumstance of a peculiarly painful character occurred on Friday week. It will be in the minds of many of our readers that some four weeks ago two young gentlemen, who were spending their holidays at Aberdovey, left one afternoon in a small boat for the purpose of sea-lark shooting on the sands at Ynyslas. Neither returned alive, and on the following day the body of one of one of them. a Mr Jackson, from London, was found on the sands. No trace could be found of his companion, a Mr Knowles, the only son of a solicitor practising at Stafford, and after dragging the river for several days, the search was abandoned in despair. Early on Friday morning the body was dis- covered thrown up on some shingle near the Vrongoch quarry, shockingly mutilated, and only just recognizable by a small scrap of clothing which yet remained attached to one of the limbs. The body was conveyed to Aber- dovey, and an inquest held (as we state in another column) on Satday, before Griffith Jones Williams, Esq., the county coroner for Merioneth, a verdict of "accidentally drowned" being returned. From Portmadoc we learn that great disasters were received by the shipping in harbour, the tide having risen to a height whieh has not been known for forty-five years. The accounts from the rural districts describe the effects of the gale as being very ruinous. The Dovey is much swollen, but up to the present has kept within its natural bed. Between Abermule and Mont- gomery numerous fields in the vicinity of the Severn and Cemlyn are many feet under water, and the low-lying lands between Buttington and Welshpool are also sub- merged. Since the above was written we learn that goods traffic between Glandovey and Towyn was resumed on Thursday night, and that portion of the line was expected to be open for passenger traffic yesterday. Traffic between Towyn and Barmouth Junction, it is hoped, will be resumed to-day. The traffic to Aberystwyth was resumed on Wednesday.
THE CHURCH IN WALES.
THE CHURCH IN WALES. The following has appeared in the Standard Sir,—The letter of a Welsh Conservative in your paper of yesterday, which has reached me to-day, induces me to send you the result of a meeting held in this parish yes- terday. The meeting was attended by the chairman of quarter sessions, several magistrates of the county, one Denbigh borough magistrate, and the town clerk, besides other in- fhieiitial persons, including the churchwardens^ pf thi, parish (Henllan). Gentlemen of all shades of politics were present at the meeting. It was resolved that the Lord Bishop of St. Asaph be requestocl to present and support the memorial to convocation now agreed upon. The meeting was unanimous in opinion that a petition in to botn houses of convocation in the province of Canterbury should be presented, and if that failed to produce the de- sired effect, that a petition to parliament should be presented. I send you a copy of the petition in hopes that if you publish it, many Churchmen may adopt the same course.—Your obedient servant, "TOWNSHEND MAINWARING." 'To the Most Reverend the Primate, and to the Members of the Upper House of Convocation in the Province of Canterbury, and to the Venerable the Prolocutor and to the Members assembled in the Lower House of Convo- °?tl<T?' ^isJ the humble petition of laymen assembled in the Parish of Henllan, in the Diocese of St. Asaph, is presented, showing 'That your petitioners, earnestly desiring to promote ^od's glory and the good of His Church, beg your counsel Mid assistance in their, efforts to win more largely the affec- tion of the people for the Established Church in this land. Zeal has not been wanting amongst us. Churches have been built and restored, and schools erected in this neigh- bourhood. The same may be said with truth of other districts. Still, it must be acknowledged that the Church's influence is feeble. We consider, therefore, that in addi- tion to our own efforts we require your counsel to aid us j in gaining for the Church the affection of the people. With this object in view, we have met to consider ques- tions relating to the Church's welfare, which we beg to submit to yon. '1. Whether bishops "setting forth God's true and holy Word, in the language of the people," and rightly and duly administering His holy Sacraments, aiding, too, by their counsel the clergy and the laity in each parish, would not greatly conduce to the Church's benefit. 2. Whether facilities for the retirement of the clergy, both on account of age and infirmity, as well as on account of self-felt inaptitude, should not be provided. 3. Whether some of the resources of the Church could not be well applied towards the instruction of candidates for holy orders in practical work, before entering upon parish duties; and whether an account should not be taken of such resources within the diocese, Which could be ap- plied to such a purpose. 4. Whether the stipends of the clergv are insufficient; and, if so, how can.they best be increased? 5. Whether it would conduce to the Church's benefit if parishioners had a voice in the appointment f their ministers. '5a. Whether the Statute 25th Henry VIII., cap. 8 (prcemunire) is not injurious. '6. Whether a reform in our cathedral establishments be needed. 7. Whether residentiary canons being absent from their parishes is injurious. '8. Whether conferences of clergy and laity, and some combination of both in the management of church and parochial matters, would not be beneficial. 9. Whether the services of the Church cannot be ren- dered more acceptable to the congregations. '10. Whether an easier method of obtaining church dis- cipline be not desirable. 11. Whether the seats in our churches should not be free and unappropriated. With a fervent desire that Almighty God may guide you in your deliberations, by which we desire to profit, we subscribe ourselves, 'YOUR FAITHFUL BRKTHUEX IN CHRIST.' "The wish of the meeting was that convocation would address her Majesty, the temporal head of the Church, in order that the object in view may be attained. Galltfaenan, Rhyl, Jan. 26."

BURYING WITHOUT A CERTIFICATE.
BURYING WITHOUT A CERTIFICATE. [The following letter has appeared in a contemporary, with reference to the unfortunate scene at a funeral reported in our last.] SIR,—In your impression of to-day I see an account of an "unfortunate scene at a funeral at Penycae," arising from an omission on the part of the friends of the deceased to provide the registrar's certificate. Perceiving that you give prominence to the same in your Local Notes," per- mit me to say that there was no reason at all that the corpse should have been left unburied until the next day. It would appear that the minister who officiated, as well as the friends of the deceased, considered that the want of the registrar's certificate was an insurmountable obstacle to the burials being performed. Such, however, is not the case. It is the duty of the person burying or perform- ing any funeral or any religious service for the burial of a dead body to see that he either receives a certificate from the registrar of deaths, that the death is registered, or < sends the registrar of deaths a certificate of the burial i withtin seven days from the date of the interment. Should 1 the person so burying or so performing any funeral or any religious service neglect giving notice thereof to the regis- ¡ trar of deaths within seven days from the date of interment, he renders hiraself liable to a penalty of any sum not exceed- :i:ng £10 for every such offence. I do not suppose that clergymen, of: the Established Church have the option of refusing to bury a dead body when presented for burial on the mere ground that the friends of the deceased had omitted to provide a registrar's certificate, and ministers of any other denomination may well spare the feelings of the friends of the deceased by performing the funeral service, and availing themselves of the alternative of giving a cerertificate to the registrar, as mentioned above. It may be convenient for clergymen, ministers, and registrars that the people generally should, previously to the burial, register the deaths; but it is not abso- lutely essential that they should do so, nor is there any fine to which they may be subjected, by their not doing so. In the parish of Chirk, to which I belong, it is, and has been, to my knowledge, for twenty-five years, a common occurrence to bury the dead without a registrar's certificate. In fact, up to within the last two or three years, it was a great rarity to see a registrar's certificate for the burial of any person belonging to the parish and on several occasions have persons not residing in the parish at ttys time of their decease been buried, although the frienas of the deceased had neglected to provide a regis- trar's certificate, and no difficulty has ever arisen. Care is, however, always taken that a certificate of the burial, signed by the clergyman officiating, is sent to the registrar of deaths for the district in which the death occurs, with- in the specified time. The form of notice to the registrar used is the following Sir, I hereby give you notice fhllt the dead body of was buried at Chirk without certificate, this day of ,18 Vicar (or Curate) of Chirk, In the county of Denbigh. To the Registrar of Deaths, District. It is not essentially necessary that such notice should be in writing, but as a general principle parol notices should never be adopted, except in cases of immediate necessity. I give you the above information, hoping that it may be useful to some of your readers, and that it 'wall tend to prevent a repetition of that unhappy occurrence at Peny- cae, which is hurtful to the feelings of the public generally, and to the friends of the deceased particularly. I am, dear sir, yours truly, Chirk, January 27, 1869. THOS. H. RICHARDS.
NOTES IN MERIONETHSHIRE.
NOTES IN MERIONETHSHIRE. BY G. W. MR. DAVID PCGH'S TESTIMONIAL. This movement has hitherto been made very quietly, and I am glad to learn that a very considerable sum has been obtained al- ready without any of the puffing which has made testi- monials generally quite a surfeit. No doubt, it has been on the whole better to proceed in this quiet manner, for to all those who know Mr Pugh, or have witnessed his inde- fatigable labours, during the last three elections, and for many years in the Registration Court, to all these any recommendation would have been superfluous. And this mode also exhibits the readiness with which the country generally acknowledges real merit. Nevertheless, it would be a pity if by this means any of Mr Pugh's friends should be left without knowledge of what is being done, and if any should have occasion to feel sorry after it is finished, that they have had no opportunity of showing respect to one whom they wish to honour. I do not re- member having seen any mention whatever of the move- ment in any of the Welsh papers, and there are friends of the Liberal cause who do not understand a word of Eng- lish. May I suggest, therefore, to the friends who are at the root of the matter, that mention should be made in some form or other, that such a thing is going on, before it is closed and presented. Perhaps many a friend will feel thankful for a simple mention of the fact, and where sub- scriptions may be sent. In connection with this subject, it may be also said that there are many other warm- hearted friends who have been working hard, day and night during-the last election, and whose labours secured the victory. Each of them has well deserved a testi- monial, and it would be but little for them to get" honour- able mention when the battle is recorded. I should like to see a list of them all, with some marks of honour at- tached to each name. Most of us, perhaps, have tried to put our shoulders to the wheel," but some have excelled in the good work, and fully deserve that the memorv of the sweat of their brow, and the labour of their brains and hearts shall not be forgotten. CONSERVATIVE LESSONS. -The bitter cup of defeat has opened the eyes of our friends to a new world, of whose existence they scarcely dreamed before, namely, the influ- ence of Dissent in Merionethshire. I have been told, on good authority, that it is proposed to carry on the contest next time on different principles. Two things in parti- cular have been suggested-to come into the field sooner, and not let the enemy sow tares while they sleep; and to dispense with paid agency altogether, and depend on voluntary canvassing. We can congratulate our friends that they have discovered so much already, and let us hope they will not stop here, but go on to try further what the voluntary principle can do. It is too late in the day to sleep and trust to the power of compulsion, if they wish to succeed they must be up and doing, working hard; and no work can be stronger than voluntary work. Let them, therefore, try whether they cannot fight their opponents on their own principles. Some Conservatives complain that chapels have been used to hold political meetings. I cannot find that this has been done in Merionethshire, ex- cept in one single case, and that where no other building whatever could be obtained for the purpose. As to the much talked-of "screw seiat," it is simply ridiculous to be- lieve it for a moment. At the same time, it is perfectly true that the influence of Dissenting ministers in Merion- ethshire is very strong, and this influence has been this time thrown on the side of the principles which they be- lieve to be the right ones. They nave earned this influence not by assumption of power, like Roman Catholic priests, but by working hard to preach the truth to the people' Great weight is therefore put on what they say, because the people have found out by long experience that they al- ways endeavour to stand upon the arm, broad principles of truth. I should, therefore, advise our friends, the Conservatives, to come out and enlighten the people with their principles; let them hold political meetings, and teach the masses and if they can Dy this means persuade the people that truth is on their side, and not with us, all well and good; then let Merionethshire be Conservative again. If they have the truth, let them have confidence in its power, and not trust in compulsion.

[No title]
A Chester tradesman, named Meacock, an ex-town councillor, has been arrested in that city on a charge of forging conveyances of property, upon which he subse- quently obtained & mortgage of £ 2,200. The lady who owns the property appeared before the magistrates, and declared that her signature to the conveyance was a for- gery. The prisoner was remanded, the Bench agreeing to accept bail if substantial securities could be found.
