heavy, but the only important business was the test case under the Sunday Closing Act and the commital for trial of an unemployd clerk on the charge of obtaining a sum of money by re- presenting himself to be a clerk to Mr W. DAVIES (county coroner) at his ilhyl office. There was one case, however, that will prove a warning to young men not to indulge in the childish freak of pulling door-bells, and will remind them that however pleasant it may be to be up with the lark in the morning," it can scarcely be expected that people care to be aroused at midnight by nocturnal larks." In the case alluded to, two young men were fined 2s 6d for pulling the bell at the front door of the Northampton Arms, at 12 o'clock on the night of the 28th ult.

relieved at the St Asaph Workhouse continues, and the Master, at the Board of Guardians on Thursday, attributed that fact to the cold weather. The number of vagrants relieved during the past fortnight was 59, or a decrease 49 as compared with the corresponding period last year. There were 100 inmates in the House on Thursday last-14 under the number in at the corresponding time last year. I A well-known character in this town applied

for relief to the Board of Guardians on Thurs- day. The House has been repeatedly offered him, but HUTCHFIELD has a decided objection to become an inmate, asserting that he can stitch outside the House as well as in." He further stated that he paid Is 6d for a bed, and only wished the Guardians to help him a little. When he was told that no out-relief would be granted to him HUTCHFIELD firmly refused to go to the House. On Friday night, last week, Lord RICHARD GROSVENOR, addressed his constituents at Lees- wood, when an enthusiastic vote of confidence in the present Government was passed. Re- ferring to the vote of confidence, Lord RICHARD said that similar votes were passed in all parts of the country. Alluding to the state of Ire- land his lordship said that the extraordinary circumstances which had occurred in that country had compelled the Government to bring in a measure from which they had recoiled almost in horror, but which had been forced I upon them by the actions of a few misguided men. There were undoubtedly grievances to remedy, but the worst passions of the people had been excited by the Land League, and that organization had to be suppressed. His lord- ship defended the Government against the way it had been blamed for not suppressing the Land League sooner, and said the boat justification of.the acts of the Government were the signs of returning peace and order, and the thirty thousand applications under the Land Act. He also congratulated Wales on the passing of the Burials Bill and the Sunday Closing Act. C, The annual conference of poor-law guardians

TESTIMONIAL TO BROWNLOW W.…
TESTIMONIAL TO BROWNLOW W. WYNNE, ESQ. Wednesday last was a day that will be long re- membered by the friends, tenants, and neighbours of Mr Brownlow Wynne Wynne, Garthewin, as one in which they had the great pleasure of presenting that gentleman with a portrait of himself and an address as a mark of esteem in which he is held by them. Some few months ago several gentlemen thought it desirable to present Mr Wynne with some token of respect and an acknowledgment of his services as a magistrate and Chairman of the St. Asaph Board of Guardians. A committee consisting of the following gentlemen was formed :—Dr. Davies, Plasynllan (chairman) Rev. W. Williams, vicar (secretary) Dr. Tumour, Denbigh Mr. Copner Wynne Edwards, Denbigh Mr. D. Hughes, Henllys Dr. Griffiths, Abergele Mr. Parry, agent; Mr. W. Littler, Aber- gele Mr. T. Davies, Nant; Dr. Roberts, Llanfair Mr. R. Hughes, Llettydu; Mr. Charles Grimsley, St. Asaph Mr. Roberts, Tanclogwyn; Mr. T. Davies, butcher Mr. Thomas Williams, Ty'ntwll; Mr. J. Hughes, Bronheulog Mr. W. M. Clarke, Kinmel. A subscription list was opened, and the committee had the great satisfaction of seeing the matter taken up with avidity, and the handsome sum of X480 was subscribed. It was considered that the most suitable testimonial and the most appreciable to Mr. Wynne would be an oil painting of himself. The artist selected was a young Bavarian gentleman, Mr. Hubert Herkomer, Dyreham, Bushey, Herts, (one of the two artists who took gold medals at the last Paris Exhibition), who succeeded in producing a magnificent work of art, and a lifelike and stricking picture of Mr. Wynne. The painting represents Mr. Wynne in a sitting posture, and is about 5 ;feet by 4, and mounted in a massive gilt frame of elegant C, design and workmanship. Wednesday, as above stated, was the appointed day to present the testimonial. The day was beauti- fully fine, and a company of about 200 had come together, among whom we noticed the following — Sir Watkin Williams Wynne, Bart., M.P. John Roberts, Esq., M.P., Bryngwenallt; P. Wynne Yorke, Esq., and Mrs. Wynne Yorke, Dyffryn Aled H. R. Sandbach, Esq., and Mrs. Sandbach, Hafod- unos Dr. Waring, London Archibald Constable, Esq., and Mrs. Constable, Edinburgh Lloyd Wynne Wynne, Esq., and Mrs. Wynne, Coedcoch The Hon.

Griffith, London House, Llanfair; Mr. Parry, Pen- iarth, Bettws; Mr. Humphreys, Cambrian Hotel, Pensarn &c., &c. THE PRESENTATION. The picture was placed in a room where the most favourable light could be had, and the companY passed throug to obtain a view of it, and the opinion of all was that it was a most faithful representation of Mr Wynne, and a work that did the artist the greatest credit. At about 12.30 the committee met at the School-room at Llanfairtalhaiarn, anl marched in procession up to Garthewin, and immediately after- wards Dr. Davies, who was supported by several of the gentlemen comprising the committe, made the presen- tation, and said he had been asked to do so by the committee. He wished someone more able had been appointed to represent them. No one could have greater satisfaction in doing anything in bringing about the event of the day, however little, than he (the speaker;. (near, near). tiiuer 6U years' acquaintance with Mr Wynne, he could fully vouch for the sentiments expressed in the address. He hoped Mr and Mrs Wynne might live many years, and that Mr Wynne would do as much good service in the future as he had hitherto done. In conclusion the doctor trustel that Mr Wynne would value the painting as a proof of the satisfactory feeling that existed between himself and his tenants and neighbours -(hear, hear)—and as a mark of appreciation of the way in which he had done the duties of the position in which God had placed him. Dr. Davies then called upon the Rev. W. Williams, the Secretary, to read the following address, which was to be presented with the paii-Lting:- To BROWNLOW WYNNB, ESQ., GARTHEWIlf. DEAB F IRi-We are assembled to-day to ask your acceptance of L:iis your portrait, presented to you by us your tenants, friends, and neighbours. It is a proof of the esteem and affection with which you are regarded by them all. It is alsiw a token and an acknowledgment, though inade- quate, of your faithful services—as a Magistrate fc forty years as Chairman of the 8t. Asaph Board of Guardians for a considerable period in addition to the faithful performance of many other important public duties. As a beautiful work of ait, and as all excellent likeness, it will bring to the last survivors of all present to-day a pleasing reminiscence of the past, and to all others who may look upon it in days to come it will be a source of pleasure to comtemplate the portrait of one whose exemplary character, both as a pri- vate and a public man, had called forth this tribute from his numerous friends' Wishing you and Mrs Wynne all happiness, we remain, &c., Signed on behalf of tho subscribers, R. DAVIES, Chairman ) of the W, TFILLIAMS, secretary j Committee. Llanfairtalhaiarn, November 2nd, 1841. Mr B. W. Wynne, in acknowledging the presenta" tion, said :—My kind friends,—When I tell you that this moment is to me one of supreme gratification, and at the same time of deep humility, I am guilty of no paradox. The presence of such a company, for the purpose of presenting me with so rich a token of their regard—the address to which I am now replying, so full of praise, and the sympathy which methinks I see on many a countenance, with one who, standing here alone, is very desolate. These things are cheering, elevating, and consolatory. But, on the other hand, there is a monitor within, which, in whispers stern and deep, too truly tells me how little 1 deserve your favour tells me of evil done in days gone by, of the evil now within"; reminds me of years of selfish indulgence and innumerable opportunities of doing good, alas, irrevocably wasted. But, my friends, when I look up to the benevolent countenance of my pre- decessor's portrait, conscious as I am of my faulty stewardship of the trust he committed to me, I can, from this day forward, more unflinchingly meet his gaze, now that by your great kindness a similar tri- bute of esteem has been received by me, which 45 years ago was to him more worthily accorded. How. ever, I am pleased that in me you trace a little streak of that rich vein of worth, which in him was wide and spreading, and that you do give me credit for an honest aspiration to do some little good to my fellow SP men (applause). I thank you for your favourable notice of my conduct as a magistrate for nearly 40 years and here, again, I must suppose, that in spite of many and flagrant blunders, you do believe that I have done my best, that I have known no distinction between rich and poor, and that rank has been ig- nored, and friendship sacrificed, to what, rightly or wrongly, I believed to be justice (applause). And if, as I believe to be the case, I have been considered to }be somewhat stern, I would with all deference point out that perhaps I have realised more than many with whom I have been associated that the primary object of the penal law is not so much the punishment of the offender as the prevention of the offence (applause). Nor can I pass unnoticed your kind reference to me as an ex-officio guardian of the poor, and here I tread on firmer ground, for I know that I have worked hard (applause). And now to turn from the original to the portrait. First let me thank all the subscribers, absent and present, for their generous contributions. Next let me give my warmest acknowledgments to the committee, and es- pecially the worthy chairman and his indefatigable secretary, upon whom has fallen in this labour of love the burden and heat of the day (applause). And now, in turning to my tenantry, let me heartily and specially thank them for their indulgence towards, their landlord. They have always been most i patient and forbearing in their just requirements, and I have a pleasing belief that they know the amount of the rent was always to me a secondary consideration that in the event of a vacancy by death or misfortune, the widow and the children have been accepted by me in preference to perhaps a more substantial and a wealthier applicant (applause). I believe that such a policy will be blessed, however Utopian it may seem from a worldly point of views and I trust that no breeze from the west with it; malignant and blighting influence will mar onr free and friendly relation to each other. And now, friends, tenants, and neighbours, once more accept my hearty thanks and most earnest wishes for your welfare. Your kind approval, will, I trust, influence my few remaining days. May I live more and more in the spirit of the poet's lines, which freethinker as he is said to have been, comprise to my mind the marrow and essence of Christianity — Give me to feel another's woe, To hide the fault I see. That mercy I to others shew, That mercy shew to me." (Applause.) THE LUNCHEON. After the presentation ceremony, the large company sat down to a splendid luncheon laid out in the most recherche style by the well-known caterers, Messrs Bolland and Sons, Chester, the following being the bill of fare :—Soups hare, oxtail; game pies, boned turkeys, chicken and ham, roast beef, pressed beef, voulard I of veal, pheasants, lobster salad, French pastry, plum tarts, custards, &c., &c. The fame of the purveyors is sufficiently established and we will only say that they maintained their reputation at Garthewin. Unfortunately, the company was too large to be accommodated in one room, and the weather would not admit of the repast being served in a marquee, there fore the guests sat down in different apartments, but by the verification of the old proverb unity is strength," we are enabled to lay before our readers a report of whafetook place in all the rooms. The toast list being the same in each. In the first room the popular baronet from Wynn- stay presided. After the cloth was removed, Sir W. Wynn, whose rising was a signal ior much applause, said that he had been requested to propose the toast of the day. They were all assembled for one purpose, and, he hoped and trusted, with the same opinions—they had come to do honour to one to whom honour is due (applause). His friend Mr Brownlow Wynne was very nearly one of the oldest magistrates in the county, and ever since the death of his esteemed predecessor had lived amongst them there, and endeavoured always to do his duty (ap- plause). He (the speaker) could scarcely say that he knew his predecessor—Col. Wynne-but had heard his father speak of him with love and respect (cheers) Speaking of Mr Brownlow Wynne, the speaker alluded to the fact that he started life as a lawyer, and to the time when the county hoped to find him appointed Chairman of Quarter Sessions. It was pleasing to see the feelings of respect now shown towards him on all hands, from the highest to the lowest. He could not help remarking that how very different it was here to the state of affairs to be found the other side nf fl" "lutnnel Iarmlausel. The other day a son of his old friend Lord Waterford had been driven out of the country, stoned by his tenants. But here every- thing was delightfully different, and tenants and friends meeting together to show to the landlord how much they respected him, and how his exertions were appreciated (much applause). He (the speaker) was not going into the question of landlord and tenant, but could say that as a rule tenants in the principality of Wales were on better terms with their landlords than were the tenants of any other part of the country (applause). They did not in Wales see land getting out of cultivation, as he had observed was the case to a very great extent in the eastern counties of England. Through their kindness he (the speaker) had the pleasure of representing that county for forty years, and although they did not all agree on every senti- ment, yet they were all very good friends (cheers). But on that day they had but one purpose in being present-to congratulate their friend there, and to present him with his picture, which, they must all agree, was as fine a work of art as could be met witb, and as good a companion to that of his predecessor as they could wish (applause). The speaker concluded by regretting very much the absence of Mrs Wynne from amongst them through ill-health (hear hear). The toast was received with much enthusiasm. Mr Brownlow Wynne was warmly received when he got up to respond, and addressed the company present as "My Friends," and thanked Sir Watkin for the kind manner in which he had proposed the toast and the company for the enthusiasm with which it was received. He was not going to make a second speech, but only to say how grateful he was to them all; and to ask them to accept the assurance of himself and his wife how welcome they were at Garthewin (applause). Mr Brownlow Wynne again got up to propose the health of those gentlemen who had given their services in carrying out the subscribers' kind wishes towards himself, by acting as committee of management. Thev had gone to much troubla and expense, and he desired specially to mention the kindness of the chair. man—Dr. Davies, and the labour of the secretary Mr Williams (applause). Dr. Davies remarked that the duties were not so heavy after all. Once the testimonial was started, the movement was most heartily taken up, and money flowed in from all quarters (applause). Many very complimentary letters were also received thanking the committee tor suggesting a testimonial to so worthy a gentleman as Mr Wynne (applause). The Rev. W. Williams also resporded, remarking that the hearty co-operation of all the members of the committee had made the chairman's and secretary's work comparatively ligL' The public's money was received unsolicited from all directions, and indeed from places whence none was expected (applause). It was all an expression of kind feeling towards Mr Wynne, and a mark of appreciation of all he did for the good of his fellow creatures (cheers). During his residence in the parish he (the speaker) had learnt to admire and love him, for his earnestness and sincerity were very great indeed. He was particu- larly kind towards the church, and the church would be better off were there more laymen of his stamp (hear hrar). The speaker made some very complimen- tary allusions to Mr Brownlow Wynne's support of education, and his exceeding kindness and great charity to the poor. A very desirable characteristic in him was that whilst he was doing so much good to his fellow creatures he was exceedingly humble, and felt that after all he was but an unprofitable servant (applause). Dr. Tumour, with enthusiastic feelings, proposed the health of the artist—Mr Herkomer (applause) His reputation was already well-established, and ever since his victory at Paris, the name of Herkomer stood foremost amongst those of British artists and if his life is spared he will leave behind him a reputa- tion not less than that of a Reynolds or a Lawrence (cheers). Mr Herkomer, in replying, remarked that he was present not only as an artist, but as the friend of Mr Wynn?, and not only of Mr Wynne, but also of Mr Wynne a friends. He was thankful for becoming possessed of such a friend as Mr Wynne (applause). It was verv pleasing1 to cover a canvass, but far more so when a heart as well as the face could be brought out on it (applause). The pleasure he had in painting Mr Wynne was one he should never forget; the occasion had been one of deep interest to many, and he had had a share of it (cheers). Mr Brownlow Wynne said that he had arrived at the last toast on the list-the health of Sir Watkin (cheers). He had on that occasion shown himself to be full of kind sympathy, when he came to pay his compliments to one who did not possess the slightest claim upon him. He gave them the health of Sir Watkin, Lady Wynn, and their family (applause). Sir Watkin made a suitable reply, in the course of which he remarked that it was 40 years ago since he had the honour of first representing the county, and remembered the kindness shown by Col. Wynne when he canvassed that part (applause). He hoped to see a fusion of the political parties before many years to come, when they should not be so much against each other (cheers). He was happy to come to Garthewin, and the first picture he saw upon his arrival was that of his great grandfather. He hoped and trusted that future generations residing there aud at his homo would continue on the same terms of friendship which had existed for so many years (applause). During the proceedings the Rev Mr Heaton gave the company the following new Welsh Triad I I Tri gwr da yn Llanfair-y Person, y Scweiar, a'r Meddyg." Bardic compliments by Mr Joseph Lloyd and Mwrog were also read, and were well received. At another room Mr Oldfield, Ffarm, Bettws, presi- ded, Mr Humphreys, Cambrian hotel, Pensarn, occupying the vice chair. In proposing the toast of the day, Mr Oldfield said that the number of toasts were limited, Mr Wynne evidently wishing not to have much speaking. Unfor- tunately all the company could not sit at one table, but they had the same list of toasts and they would try and do justice to them all. He would at onco propose the first toast, "Long life to Mr and Mrs Wynne." The esteem in which they were held in by their neighbours was amply shown in the picture presented that day. Personally, he (Mr Oldfield) had always received the greatest kindness at the hands of Mr and Mrs Wyune (cheers). Mr Jones, Llanfair Board School, drink the health of Mr Wynne as a friend of education. It was Mr Wynne's dm to make the Llanfair school a great success. The school had been a success, and that was chiefly owing to the interest evinced by •»- Wynne in it. Mr Wynne was always very careful of him (the speaker). He saw that the pupil teache got fair play, and that the children were well caiea

At Garthewin, the' 'residence of BROWNLOW WYNNE WYNNE, Esq, Chairman of the St Asaph Board of Guardians, on Wednesday, a ceremony of a most interesting character, and one that was the most tangible and undeniable proof of the good feeling and harmony existing between Mr WYNNE and his tenants and neighbours generally, was performed. We allude to the presentation of an oil painted portriat of himself to Mr WYNNE. The scene was indeed one that can not easily be erased from the mind, and forced one to contrast the happy state of things between Welsh tenant-farmers and their land- lords with the unhappy disagreements between the discontented (and we must say much abused), Trish farmers and their landlords. ilere was a landlord with a vast number of his tenantry collected around him to present him with an appriciable token of their love tow ards him; but Ireland was a scene of constant strife between landlords and tenants-oppression and tyranny on one hand, and thirst for, and gratification of revenge on the other. The painting presented was executed by Mr HUBERT HERKOMER, a most successful young artist, and as a picture it is a most faithful portrait of Mr WYNNE. The Rhyl magistrates dismissed a case

brought before them under the Sunday Closing (Wales) Act at their last meeting, believing that such a course was the fairest one to follow until the,, ambiguous clause of the new Act was finally settled in a superior court. The chair- man, however, expressed himself in favour of +.V>o A r>f and wn.s nf nnininn that it would do a great amount of good to the country when it came into operation. Great interest was centred in the above case, the court room being crowd- ed during the hearing, and the decision of the Bench was received with applause. The petty sessions on Monday were very

for the unions in North Wales, was held at Denbigh on Friday. The conference was largely attended,1 and was presided over by B. W. WYNNE, Esq., St Asaph Union. Col. WEST, Bangor, read a lengthy paper on local taxation, and the following resolutions were passed:— That it is desirable with a view of relieving real property that a large portion of the indoor maintenance should be borne by the consolid- ated fund That this conference is of opinion that all classes of property should be taxed in aid of those local taxes, coming under the head of poor rates." Dr J. LL. ROBERTS, Denbigh, medieal officer of the St. Asaph Union, also read a paper on pauperism and charity.
ST. ASAPH BOARD OF GUARDIANS.
ST. ASAPH BOARD OF GUARDIANS. THURSDAY, November 3rd.—Present: W. M. Clarke, Esq., in the chair; P. P. Pennant, Esq T. G. Dixon, Esq., Nant Hall; Messrs S. Perks, Rhyl; E. Angel, Denbigh T. Howes Roberts, A. E. Davies, St. Asaph R. Davies, Llanfair. THE CHILDREN Were as usual brought up for inspection before the Guardians, and looked remarkably well. THE HOUSE. The Master reported the number of inmates In the house to be 100, as compared with 114 same period last year. Number of vagrants re- lieved, 59; corresponding period last year, 108, showing a decrease of 49.—Mr Pennant wished to know had their been a tendency to decrease of late.—The Master Yes, for some weeks now. -Air Pennant: How do you account for that ? —The Master I don't know sir, unless its the cold weather (laughter).—John Jones, who had been an inmate for 40 years, had a week or two since died.—The Master reported that Jane Davies, one of the oldest inmates, was still alive enjoying good health, though she was now 8] years of age.—Jane Jones, aged 18, was by an order signed by the chaplain and relieving- officer, removed to the Lunatic Asylum.—Mrs Major Birch kindly sent some illustrated papers, and Mrs Easterby a hamper of pears, for the inmates.—The Clerk was instructed to write and thank both ladies. CORRESPONDENCE. A letter was read from the lady superintend- ent of the Children's Home, Rhyl, reminding the Guardians that their annual subscription of 22 2s. was due.-The Clerk was instructed to forward cheque for the amount. A communication was received from the Local Government Board in reference to allowing the master's eldest son to reside in the house,asking what arrangements had been made, as they ob- jected to the boy remaining with his parents in the house.—Several Guardians thought it a hard case, as the boy was away all day at Mr Grimsley's office, and only came home at night. —The Clerk was asked to write and give a full explanation of the matter. MAINTENANCE. A letter was read from R. Jones, Tyn-y- ffordd, Abergele, saying he could not pay any stated sum towards hi s mother's support, but that he was doing all he could.—An order of Is weekly was made. Charles Jones, Tynewydd, Abergele, wrote informing the Board that he was surprised to have a letter to make a married man pay so much."—The Chairman It is a shame that the mother should be on the books at all, as her sons are well able to keep her. —|The Clerk was instructed to take proceedings to enforce the payment of 2s. per week. a Margaret Green, Liverpool, wife of Captain Richard Green (whose parents reside at Prestat- yn. and are in receipt of 6s. a week in out-relief) appeared before the Board, to say that her has band could not pay anything towards support- ing his father and mother. Lately they had started to keep a shop, but she was afraid it would be a failure.-Tho Chairman: What wages does your husband get ?—Mrs Green 30s. a week, and he has to keep himself out of that.—Mr Dixon: What! a captain of a tug boat only having 30s. a week.-Mrs Green said it was so.—Mr Pennant: Do you think it is right to leave your parents in their old age to be- come paupers ?—Mrs Green replied that she and her husband would be glad to help the old people if they could, but at present they were under heavy expense. There were two other brothers-a captain and a stoker-who were better able to pay than they were.—The Board decided to make an order of 2s. weekly, and in the meantime the clerk was instructed to make further enquiries about the other brothers. A man from St. George appeared before the Guardians, in answer to an order made upon him to contribute towards his mother's support, _1_ __1 -L 1- -1 J. 1- _1_- and said ne was aoing wnat ne couia tu net? ins mother. The 2s. 6d., which she received from the parish only jnst paid the rent, he and his brother doing all the rest.—Under the circum- stances the Guardians would not make an order but reduce the relief to Is 6d. HUTCHFIELD ON IllS" RIGHTS." "Joseph Hutchfield (a well-known character in Rbyl), sent up a note to the Guardians, in 1j1I hich he asked them to read some verses from the books of Exodus and Deuteronomy, and then think of him." He was called before the Board.—The Chairman Well, what is it you want ?—Applicant: Please sir, I want a little help.—The Chairman You have had the house offered you, which is better than sleeping in the fields.-Applicant: I don't sleep in the fields; I pay Is. 6d. for a good bed which I get every night. I only want a little money to help me. I know you would like me to stitch in the house, but I can do that out quite as well. I don't want to go to Chester Castle. -Mr Pen- nant Look here, we believe the house is the best place for you.—Applicant: I won't come its cheaper for you to keep me outside than in side the house.—Mr Pennant: Then you must go; we cannot give you any out-door relief.— Applicant: All you St. Asaph Guardians will suffer for it, and take care of poor Hutchfield (laughter).—Two or three Guardians remarked that what money he got it went in drink. One or two small matters terminated the pro- ceodings.
