- SOUVENIR FROM THE RUTHIN…
SOUVENIR FROM THE RUTHIN CON- SERVATIVES. On it becoming known, a forthnight ago, that the Denbigh and Wrexham Conservatives were about to show their appreciation of Mr Kenyon's many good qualities, some two or three Conservatives in Ruthin resolved that their borough should not be behind hand. It will be recollected that the Ruthin Conservatives were the first, after the general election, to show Mr Ken- yon that he was respected" and esteemed as highly as if he had been victorious. The marriage of Mr Kenyon, has been regarded with special interest by his Ruth')ti friends, and they determined on so eventful an occasion to give expression to their feelings by present* a present to himself or his bride. Mr William Lloyd, solicitor, took the matter in hand, and has the credit of bringing it to a very successful issue. A committee was quickly formed, and the Conservatives of thr. town were waited upon. The subscriptions in a few d 4yS amounted to nearly £2.°, Conservatives of all ranks. having mani- fested a desire to share a part in the expense. With this money the committee decided to purchase a hand- some gold bracelet for presentation to Mr Kenvon's bride. The article was supplied by Mr R. G.. Jovce, jeweller, Ruthin, who carried out the orders of "the committee very satisfactorily. The souvenir was for- warded to Mr Kenyon, with a letter from the sub- scribers, asking Miss Leche"A acceptance of the same in appreciation of the estaem and respect entertained for her bridegroom-, by his Rotliin supporters, and expressed the best wishes for the future welfare of himself and bride.
THE MARRIAGE CEREMONY.
THE MARRIAGE CEREMONY. n The marriage ceremony was fixed tor eleven o'clock at the picturesque little church of Tilston, about a mile from one of the lodge entrances to the park. The road by which the wedding party were to arrive was spanned at different points with triumphal arches, bearing appropriate mottoes, which had been erected by the tenantry on the estate, and the inhabitants of Tilston, in token of their esteem and affection for the House of Garden, and their good wishes for the happiness and pros- perity of the bride and bridegroom. The weather, which was at one time a subject of much anxiety, fortunately turned out most propitious, and a bright autumn sun shed a radiance on the scene which considerably enhanced the joyousness of the occasion. Some time before the hour appointed for the ceremony, every available seat in the church was occupied. The youth and beauty of the district were fairly represented but there was a due pro- portion of aged matrons and country damsels from Tilston, Barton, and places adjacent to the ancestral home of the Carden family, the bride by her amiability, and by the kind interest she had taken in her poorer neighbours, having secured many friends and admirers among the rural population. We understand that the young lady also took great interest in the Church Sunday Schools, and the children, accompanied by tfetiir teachers, were drawn up at the door of the church to receive the' procession on its arrival. A crimson carpet was laid from the gate to the 1.oor of the church, and other preparations made for the ceremony. The harvest decorations wer £ still standing, so that very little supplemental ornamentation was required to impart a thoroughly festive appearance to the interior of the sacred edifice. The church is op-e of a type of parish churches which are rarely 4net with, except in the remote rural districts. [t is decidedly antiquite in its furni- ture and fitting's, and is provided with a commodious squire's pe having all the appearance of a lady chapel, which contains the coat of arms of the Carden family. The windows also display armorial shields in coloured glass. The.church has been the burial place of the Carden family for many genera- tions. -t-ne bridegroom was among the earlier arrivals, and Was accompanied by Mr J. A. Smith Barry, as his best man," by his brother, the Hon. Edward Kenyon, of Maesfen, Whitchurch, and by Mr Chas. Mainwaring, of Galltfaenan. The bridal party arrived from the hall shortly "after eleven, and as soon as they entered the chiscch, the anthem, 0 rest in the Lord," was played by Mr Harriss, the organist of S. Mark's, Wrexham, who presided at r, the harmonium. The bride, who was attended by eight bridesmaids, walked up the church leaning on the arm of her father. She wore a white satin dress and train, tulle veil, and the usual bridal flowers. • The bridesmaids were :—The Hon. Henrietta Kenyon, the Hon. Charlotte J. Kenyon (sisters ef the bride- groom), Miss Efmertrude Leche, Miss Gwendoline Leche, Miss Violet Leche (sisters of the bride), Mis3 Sybil Mitford, Miss Nina Corbett, and Miss Essex Cholmondeley. They were attired in straw- colosr muslin dresses trimmed with dark blue velvet, and straw-colour hats turned up with blue velvet, and feathers. They wore round the neck blue velvet and gold buckles with lapis luzuli and pearl ornaments. Among the ladies present were Mrs Leche, the mother of the bride, who wore a very handsome plum colour velvet dress, richly brocaded with crepe de chene the Hon. Mrs Wynn., who was attired in a red silk dress, trimmed with white and bonnet to match; Miss Corbett, a 'cousin of the bride, who was dressed in a prune coloured and lilac costume; Miss Dixon, whose dress was of peach blossom hue; Miss Stanhope Jones, who wore a French grey and pique and Mrs Stanhope Jones, who was attired in a rich black silk dress. The party having taken their assigned positions in front of the communion rails the marriage ser- 'vice commenced, the ccremony being performed by the Rev Arthur Wright, rector of Tilston, assisted by the Hon. and Rev W. Trevor Kenyon, brother of the bridegroom. The bride was given away by her father. At the conclusion of the ceremony, the party adjourned to the vestry to sign the register, and this necessary duty having been discharged, the happy pair received the con- gratulations of their friends, and the bridal party then left the church, the Wedding March" being performed as they retired. The breakfast was sumptuous and i-celiei-el e affair, and at the head of a table, laid out in the most elegant style, was a splendid bride-cake, surmounted by a beautiful and costly ornament. Among the guests, were the youthful Lord Kenyon, the \Ion. Mrs Cotton, of Park, Oswestry; the Hon. Edward and MissiKen- yon, Maesfaen the Hon. Misses Kenyon, Greding- ton; the Hon. Miss Mitford, the Hon. Mrs Wynn, the Rev H. J. Blackburne, rector of Walmingham; Rev F. G. Blackburne, rector of Nantwich; the Han. and Rev W. Trevor Kenyon, Rev Arthur Wright, Rev T. Puleston, rector of Worthenbury, Miss Corbett, Miss Dixon, Mrs and Miss Stanhope Jones, Mr Brookes, &c. The Healths of the Bride and Bridegroom were proposed by the Rev. Thomas Puleston, and acknowledged by the bridegroom. The Hon. Edward Kenyon proposed the Healths of Mr and Mrs Leche," to which the former responded. The Bridesmaids," was acknowledged by Mr Charles Mainwaring. At a qsarter-past one, the bride and bride.' groom left for Broxton station on, the London and North Western Railway, thence proceeding to Chester and London en route to spend their homey- moon upon the continent. The happy pair waving adieus'rolled away from the door of the mansion amid the cheers of their friends and the usual shower df old slippers and handsful of rice thrown at them for good luck. The departure was also signalised by a salute from several pieces of ord- nance stationed near the house, and a salute was also fired at Broxton station on the arrival of the newly married pair. The cottages and farm houses around Broxton displayed bunting in honour of the event, and the first train arriving at that station in the morning was received with a fusilade of fog signals which Bad been placed along the rails. A word-or two in conclusion respecting Carden Hall, the late howe of Miss Leche. It is an old Elizabethan mansion, approached by two principal drives tfcrough a park of surpassing beauty, one road leading in the direction of Broxton and the other to Tikton. The house wao burnt-dow-n in 1515 and partly restored in 1575; and during1 the civil war was pillaged by the Parliamentary topees under Cr omwell, who took the then proprietor prisoner, and cx mveyed him tO Nantwich. It is sumptuously fur nished in a etylein beeping, with mansions of this class, and the walls are adorned with paintings, including YOrtraits,of various members of the Card ten family.

PRESENT FROM THE CONSERVATIVE…
PRESENT FROM THE CONSERVATIVE WORKING MEN OF DENBIGH. When the date of the marriage of the Hon. G. T. Kenyon with Miss Leche became known In Denbigh, the officers and committee of the Working Men's Con- stitutional Association held a meeting for the purpose of considering what steps they should take to show their appreciation of Mr Kenyon, and to testify that their confidence in him was undiminished, and that they were ready at all times and under all circumstances to give him their hearty support. Up to within about twelve months of the last general election Mr Kenyon was absolutely unknown in Denbigh, not only to the majority of those moving in the higher circles, but to the whole of the working men. His first appearance, however, amongst them produced a remarkably good impression. His straightforward conduct, together with his gentle- manly bearing commended him to the esteem of all with whom he came in contact, and the Conservative working men were especially proud of him as a candi- date. At a meeting of the above association it was resolved that a subscription list be opened, and that the maximum subscription be of such value as would not preclude any member from giving. Under the energetic supenntendauce 01 Mr frice Roberts, the town sec. collectors were appointed to wait upon all the membe is of the association, and it is gratifying to find that ev< member subscribed, and that many evinced a desir & contribute much above the amount fixed. Fir j(J- themselves quickly in possession of a handsome ium money the committee resolved that the pres' jBltation shonld take the form of a wedding gift to Mr T ^eny0n--s bride. A large assortment of beautiful art iCles were submitted to the committee by Mr He flr„ joyce jeweller, Vale-street, Denbigh, and the Elected a splendid gold locket. On the front of t^e iocket j3 engraved the following inscription "From the D. W. C. A.. October, 1815, the initials of course meaning, Denbigh Working M. ;n's Conservative Association." The locket was ench ised in a case. It is due to Mr Joyce to say that he f xecuted the orders of the committee to their entire satisfaction, and being himself a member of the assocI Ation he of course took more more than ordinary in Cerest in the duty that devolved on him.. A very ge neral desire was expressed by the subscribers ep!id othe n to see the gem, and that Mr Kenyon has very kindl s aceeded to the wish of the committee that it ma.T be returned, for a few days, to be on view at Mt. Joyce establishment, in Vale-street. Prior to forl-arding the present, Mr J. Copner Wynne-Edwards, as c' ziairman of the association wrote, on behalf of the coir AlnittAe, to Mr Kenyon, informing him of the intention ,s of the association, and asking if they would be agrf ,-eable to the feelings of himself and Miss Leche. Mr I kenyon, in a most kind and charac- teristic reply, assur ed the association that it would give his bride. very mr ch pleasure to accept such a gift, and on his own behalf he thanked the subscribers for such a proof of their continued confidence in himself, and assured them th at they could not have manifested it in any manner mo re agreeable to his own feelings, and ex- pressed the hop e that at no very distant period he should have the pleasure of introducing hit; bride to his many kind friends at Denbigh. The locket was duly forwarded top: Me Kenyon on Tuesday evening, with a request that 11 jvotfld present it Miss Leche on behalf of the assoofatldtf. It was aocompiuued by a letter from the chairniati of the •association, of which the following is a copy- T DENBIGH, OCT. LIT.B, 1875.

BARTON.
BARTON. A public dinner took place at the Cock Inn, in the afternoon of the day, and was attended by a numerous party, including the tenantry and neighbouring farmers, with a few professional gentlemen and tradesmen from Chester. The chair was taken by Mr G. P. Boy dell, clerk to the Broxton division of the Cheshire bench of magistrates; the vice-chairs being filled by Dr Denton and Mr Cotgreve, Chester: and there were also present- Mr Hy. Taylor, solicitor, Chester; Dr Armstrong, Farn- don; Mr Little, Mr John Low, jun.; Mr Edmund Parker, Mr Thomas Parker, Mr John Mosford, Mr Thos. Powe'J, Mr Jos. Parsonage, Mr Thos. Manning, Mr John Moore, Mr William Faulkner, Mr Mark Darlington, Mr Matthew Darlington, Mr Albert Low, Mr William Brown, Mr J. H. Harrios, &c. The landlord, Mr J. Jones, placed a capital spread before his guests, and the arrangements, the waiting for instance, were very satisfactory, much more so in fact than are sometimes made on festive occasions in more pretentious hostelries. After the usual loyal and patriotic toasts, The Chairman, in giving the special toast of the day, said he folk in the position in which he was placed that he'had been given a privilege not often vouchsafed to one who occupied a similar position in the neighbourhood in which he had the pleasure to live. It was a privilege divested of responsibility because all that he could say had been anticipated by the practical way in which they had illustrated by their. presence there that day the deep interest they felt, the affectionate regard he might say, for the Hon. George and Mrs Kenyon (applause). It was a matter which concerned them individually when an- event of the kind takes place that had that day taken place between the houses of Carden and Gredington. They, as neighbours, and some of them as tenants, of the house of Carden, he thought he might say did feel and do feel still the deepest interest and the most anxious solicitude that the house of Carden may continue to use the influence and to retain the name of Leche perpetually (hear, hear). They were that day losing in the person of Miss Leche a most amiable young lady. Everybody who intimately knew her, and he had known a little of Mrs Geo. Kenyon from her childhood, but not enough, he presumed to speak to speak personally of her, but he was very confidert from all he had heard that no person who had come in contact with Miss Leche as such, had done otherwise than admire and value her for she had that true sisterly affection towards her tenants and those about her which becomes a person with the pros- pects she had, brightened, he trusted, now by what she had entered upon. But though she would not be What, she might have been to those who counted on the happi- ness of looking up to her as a landlady, she would still be a neighbour and a friend. They had now, he be- lieved, united two as honourable houses as can be found in any. of the counties of England (applause). The Kenyons were so well kaown to them all, if not person- ally and intimately, at all events by the high standing they have attained in years gone by, and which they have maintained by their honourable conduct, that it must be a sort of gratification that when they lose a future landlady such as Miss Leche might have been expected to be, they gained stt the same time a fnend such as the Hon. George Kenyan's family will vouchsafe and give a substantial guatfcntee that he will be (applause). He felt it was a toast "óhat required no speech from him it was one they all Celt deeeply. They knew when they got together two such families with such a prestige they might look up to them as their guides, and he was tare that all in tkat neighbourhood might look up to them as their friend?. He begged to propose 1, Healtk, long life, and happiness to the Hon. Mr and Mrs George Kenyca." The feast was drunk with the utmost enthusiasm. Mr John Low then gave The health of -Mr and Mrs Lecho," remarking that there was not a tsore upright English gentleman in the country than Mr Leche, of Carden Hall. Mr Cotgreve, who had beea long corrected with the family, responded, and said a better man than Mr Leche never breathed; and he felt that a 5nore honest and English gentleman did not live tfeui the owner of Carden. The toast of the Carden tenantry was afterwards given and respondod to and the proceedings of a most enjoyable gathering shortlyaftards came to a con- clusion.

HANDIER. This q'uiet^ though pretty village, was the scene of great rejoieing on Thursday last, on the occasion of the maxrirge. At an early hour in the morning, the church feells rfbg mefry peals as the happy bridegroom parsed 'through the viKige on his way to Garden Park, f ,n<5 during tko 'reroafEder of the day; and many were the kind expressions which were given utterance to by all. A publo dinner was served up at the Haumer Arms at 3.30 p.m (which was of a magnificient and bountiful character), by Mr and Mrs John Bartlem, The greatest c possible praise is'-clue to them for their excellent catering. It may be of'interest to our readers if we state that the dinner was codked by Mrs Marsh, the same parson-who cooked the Christening dinner when the Hon G. T-. j; Kenyon 'Was born, and whose husband has worked in the family for the past afxty years. The waiting was all that could be desfred. WemiiSttiot forget to mention the names of thtCom- mittee who were indefatigable m their efforts to -pf&mofce the co&ifort of their visitors, namely :-Rev. M. ll.

The Vice-chairman proposed the healths of the Bishop and Clergy of the diocese, coupled with the name of the Rev, M. H. Lee, who responded. The Chairman next gave the healths of the Army, Navy, and Reserved Forces. Mr Lee responded, remarking that he was sure that the reserve forces under Captain Kenyon would always do well. The Chairman The next toast I have to propose is the health of the bride and bridegroom." I am sure it is not necessary for me to say anything about the Hon. G. T. Kenyon, as you all know him so well. I have known him during the past eight years, ^,nd no one has fulfilled his position better than he. He has devoted himself to business, and in doing so has gained the praise of all. I am sure that there is no one in the room more pleased to hear of his marriage than myself. We dont generally talk about politics on such occasions as these, but we all know how gallantly he fought last year for a seat in Parliament, and was only beaten by a majonty of 31. This speaks for itself. As regards Mrs Kenyon we do not know much of her at present, but from what we do know, I am sure we shall all welcome her here, and she will, I hope, prove most useful in this parish (applause). The toast was drank most cordially. Mr Lloyd: I beg to propose to you the health of the Gredingtoq family. I have spent many a happy day amongst the tenantry of Gredington, many of whom are now gone to their rest. I have always received the greatest kindness from them. I may say if those who have gone before bad lived to see this day they would have been phased. It is one blessing to live loved, but how much better is it to die loved. What a great grati- fication it was to the late Lord Kenyon on his death bed to know that he tad a son tffie Wgiild do his best for thoee he leU behind.

----------_t.LLANYPWLL.
t. LLANYPWLL. In order to celebrate the nuptials of the Hon. C- T. Kenyon and Miss Leche, of Carden, the friends, admirers, and tenants of the Hon. G. Kenyon on the Borras Estate made arrangements that the auspicious occasion should be celebrated at Llan- ypwll. A committe, consisting of the following gentlemen, was formed to carry out the necessary arrangements:—Mr Parry, Holt Lodge (chairman); Mr Milligan. Borras Hall (treasurer) Mr Dicken, Hugmore House (secretary); Mr Davies, Llan- ypwll; Mr Roberts, Borras Lodge; Mr Griffiths, Plas- Golbourn; Mr T. Price, Isycoed Mr Ellis Jones, Erlas; and Mr E. Edwards, Llanypwll. Accordingly, it was decided that on the day of the marriage a public dinner should take place at the Gredington Arms Inn, at five o'clock. The arrangements of the committee were all that could be desired. A commodious tent, belonging to the Wrexham Tent Company, was fixed in a meadow close to the inn. The interior of the tent was tastefully decorated with a profusion of evergreens the sides were covered with appropriate mottoes, such as Long life and happiness to the Hon. G. T. and 'Mrs Kenyon j" Success to the House of Gredington;" Qod bless the house of Carden," and several loyal mottoes, including God bless the Queen," God bless the Prince of Wales," Speed the Plough," &c., and suspended throughout the tent were numerous oil lamps, casting a brilliant and leasant light upon the surroundings.' The tables were profusely laid out with every luxury, not to say necessary, for the convenience of the com- pany. Between the inn and the tent were a couple of beautifully arranged arches, formed of shrubs and evergreens, interspersed with mottoes similar those I mentioned above; whilst the entrance to the Gredington Arms was similarly decorated. The weather, unfortunately, was inauspicious, rain falling heavily: but this did not prevent a numer- ous attendance of gentlemen from Wrexham and the neighbourhood, as well as the tenantry; and from half-past four to half-past five o'clock, numerous vehicles of every description arrived from all directions at Llan- ypwll. Dinner was placed on the tables about six o'clock. The following was the MENU. FIRST COURSE.—Turbot, lobster sauce, cod fish, oyster sauce, roast beef, boiled mutton, roast turkey and sausage, boded fowls and ham, roast ducks, jugged hare, game pie, and partridge. SECOND CounsE.-Roast hare, roast partridge, roast pheasants, plum pudding, Sir Watkin's pudding, apple tarts, miuce pie, pastries and jellies, Victoria cream, queen mab. The wines were of rare quality, and the dessert excellent. Amongst the company were Dr Eyton-Jones, the Rev M. B. C. Shelton, Mr* W. L. Brookes, Mr Evan Morris, solicitor, Wrexham; Mr H.

About sixty gentlemen sat down to dinner, Dr Eyton-Jones, presiding, and Mr Milligan occupying the vice chair. Grace before and after dinner was said by the Rev M. B, C Shelton. On the removal of the cloth, The Chairman, in choice terms, proposed the Health of the Queen," which was followed by the toast of The Prince and Princess of Wales and the rest of the Royal Family," both being drank with much applause. The Chairman next proposed the Bishop and Clergy and the Ministers vf all Den-obiination, aud paid a high and deserved compliment to the Bishop of the diocese, who was a W t>lsh- speaking Bishop, and his conduct had endeared him td all; while in Wrexham tkey had a vicar who havt won the highest opinim, and they had then in their midst a clergyman who had demonstrated that he was what a clergyman, should *be> and ke coupled with the toast the name of e Rev Mr Shelton (cheers). The Rev U-r Shelton, who was loadly applauded, acknowledged the compliment.. He said he rose to respowl to the very kind and flattering terms in whicfe. the toast had been proposed by the worthy ohairKv&n, and the equally cordial manner in which it had been received by the company. It was an undoubted fact that the bishop and the clergy of the diocese could not easily be represented by a .single clergyman; but bethought he could assure ttos,e present that the hearty reception of the toast would be duly appreciated by the bishop and clergy, which was as significant as it was gratifying. In the auspicious event they were celebrating that evening, as well as on other occasions, it had byosme customary to propose this toast, which was indicative of the fact that a greater amount of conflofence and respect was entertained towards the Ghtp.-ch than was, perhaps, once the case. The clergy of the present day lived better lives, and set a better example than was formerly the case; j/et'they were found mixing in an assembly such as that, and enjoying innocent pleasure in celebrating an important and happy epoch in the life of a TGGst honourable and worthy man (hear, hear). The fact was that Christianity as for all, and ntmerely for a few and clergymen could not be wrong in mixing with such assemblies as the present, enjoying with them innocent pleasure, and spea/king to them as one of themselves. He could assure them, on behalf of himself and the clergy in general, that he and they fully appreciated their kinduess, and he should endeavour to prove himself not unworthy of their continued confidence and respect, and he hoped his connection with them would be of long continuance {hear, heir, and cheers). The Chairman proposed the Army, Navy, and Volunteer Force," and called upon Captain Bury and Regimental Sergea-nt-Major Jones (applause). Capt. Thos. Bury acknowledged the compliment in a humourous speech; and Sergeant-Major Jones said he endorsed all that the gallant captain had said (a laugh). The Chairman said he had now the pleasure of proposing the toast of the evening, which he knew would be received with every demonstration of cordiality and enthusiasm. The toast of the family of the Kenyons had been always received with the greatest pleasure and demonstrations of kindness and respect. The great and highly respected first Baron Kenyon of Gredington bad been educated at the Ruthin Grammir School, and no man had worked himself into a higher position than he had done. He was a friend and confidant of George III., and Baron Kenyon was so highly thought of that that monarch was desirous that he should accept the high office of Lord Chancellor of England (hear, hear). However, he occupied the high position of Chief Justice of the Court of Queen's Bwacli, and was a gentleman who upheld the laus of this country in such a manner that the country were proud of him. He was a contemporary of Mansfield, Thurlow, Eldon, and others, all great men, and having to compete with such men, the desire of the King was indeed one of the highest compliments that could be conferred (hear, hear). Baron Kenyon was a man of brilliant talents, pre- ¡ eminently loved and respected by all who knew him. The Hon. G. T. Kenyon, whose marriage that day they were then celebrating, was the second son of the late Lord Kenyon, and there was no tenant on his estate to whom he would not hold out the right hand of fellowship (hear, hear, and cheers). Educated at Harrow and at Christ Church, Oxford, he was a gentleman of remarkably brilliant attainments, and for certain reasons the Hon. G. T. Kenyon had lately written and published the life of his great grandfather, the first Baron Kenyon, with the view of demonstrating that the history of that great and good man was beyond suspicion, and that talented work was a complete justification of his every act (hear, hear). Everyone who knew the Hon. G. T. Kenyon thoroughly esteemed and loved him (hear, hear); and if his life should be spared he would assuredly show the great talent hr possessed. He was a good orator, a sound financ" a thorough man of business, and a sincere r .1 The people of Hanmer especially were awar -> kind, noble, and charitable acts (hear, h >e*» 1 young bride was the representative or views-1 very ancient Cheshire family; and ..<3 0 £ 1 long life and happiness to the P -<iar).

Mr Henry Humphreys proposed The health of the present youthful .Lord Kenyon," and fell assured that when he attained his majoriiy he would find the estates in a flourishing condition" the trustees having bestowed the greatest care and attention on the property in every possible respect. Mr Brookes, as one of his lordship's guardians, acknowledged the toast, and said that, although at present a mere lad, Lord Kenyon was, he believed, one of the right sort, and, if he might be allowed to use the expression, a Chip of the old block" (hear, hear). In concluding, he (Mr Brookes) pro- posed the "Health of the Borras tenantry," with whom he had been connected for upwards of 30 years, and at whose hands he had never received anything but cordiality and kindness, and he trusted that that connection might long remain. He would connect with the toast the name of Mr Thomas Parry, the largest occupier on. the estate (cheers). Mr Parry said good landlords made good agents, and Mr Kenyon had an excellent agent in Mr Brookes, and he was the right man in the right place. The more that gentleman was known the more he would be liked and appreciated (cheers). Mr Brookes proposed the health of the worthy chairman, Dr Eyton-Jones, which was received with great cordiality. The Chairman suitably acknowledged the compliment. He said he came here from Merioneth, and served his apprenticeship, and had been associ- ated with Wrexham since 1657, and always received great kindness here from all classes; and he thanked the company for their present cordiality, and felt proud of having been requested to preside on this festive ocasion to the honour of the Hon. George Kenyon (cheers). < Mr J. Oswell Bury proposed The agricultural interests of the neighbourhood," in a humorous speech, and coupled with the toast the name of Mr John Milligan, who briefly replied. Mr Samuel Harrison, oi Holt, proposed F-c The health of Sir Watkin Williams Wynn," and that included our own Prince in Wales" (hear, hear), whose father lived before him (laughter), and the present member for Denbighshire did honour to the county in which they lived; and he proposed the Members for the county." He would also include the health of Mr George Osborne Morgan, although he had never seen him (a laugh) at the same time he believed he was an honest man. -The Chairman proposed "the Corporation of Wrexham," and included the names of Mr Murless, Mr J. O. Bury, and Mr Thomas Roberts. Mr Murless acknowledged the toast, and expressed a hope that Dr Eyton-Jones would be again elected to the Council, and that he would r.ccopt the office of chief magistrate for the DPxt year. Mr J. O. Bury also replied in a humorous speech, and said that would be the last time he should have an opportunity of addressing them as a Town Councillor. v Mr Thomas Bury proposed the Health of the Committee of the Borras Estate," with thanks to them for the able and efficient manner in which they had discharged their duties, the result of which had culminated in the pleasant gathering of that evening, which, in spite of the bad weather, had been so thoroughly enjoyed. Mr S. Dicken thanked the gentlemen present for the kind expressions of approbation. The Chairman-proposed the Health of the Father of the Bride, Mr Leche, of Carden," who was a most kind-hearted country gentleman and universally respected and beloved by all who knew him (applause). Mr E. M. Jones, in a facetious speech, proposed The Town end Trade of Llanypwll (laughter). In speaking of the event those assembled were cele- brating, he wished the "happy couple" long life and happiness (cheers). Mr Thomas Edwards, of Llanypwll, returned thanks. The Rev Mr Shelton proposed The Ladies," coupling with the toast the name of Mr LI. Will iams-(applause) -and the latter gentleman replied. Mr Jonathan Davies proposed The health of tise hostess," and thanked her for her catering, which was everything that could be desired—an excellent and bountiful repast (cheers). Mr Thos. Bury reiterated similar sentiments, and the health of Mrs Bellis was drunk most cordially. The Chairman then read a letter from Mr Acton, solicitor, apologising for non-attendance through an attack of neuralgia. Mr S. Harrison proposed, in eulogistic terms, the Health of Mr Brooked," to which that gentleman warmly responded, and said that his only desire was to 1 do that which he believed to be right between landlord and tenant. If the tenantry thought tha-t he was some- times too hard upon them—and ail men were liable to error—he begged them to believe that he always acted conscientiously in the matter (hear). He entertained a high respect for the tenantry on the estate and he also felt the most profound respect and regard for Mr Kenyon and the HOD. Edward Kenyon of Maesfen, hisco-trustee-. The trustees always tried to act in such a way that when called upon hereafter to give an account of their stewardship, !hey would be able to do so with a perfect conviction that in all their dealings they had acted uprightly and honestly (hear, hear). Mr Brookes was very happy that the utmost good feeling had always existed between the tenantry, Mr Kenyon, and himself, and there was no reason why that mutual good feeling should not continue (cheers). The Chairman then gave the toast of the Press," and most of the company then left. During the evening, cannons were fired at inter vals, and many of the residents in the neighbour- hood enjoyed themselves in various ways. Last (Friday) evening, a ball took place in the tent above referred to, which was numerously attended. On Saturday (to-day), the labourers on the estate will be entertained to dinner.

HOLT. I The rejoicings at Holt were of a comparatively quiet and undemonstrative character but were such as enabled the largest number of the burgesses and inhabitants ot this ancient borough to participate in the festivities. The majority of the members of the committee having declared their strong objection to sports or games of any kind as demoralising in their tendency, and as leading to excessive drunkenness, it was resolved that the proceed, I mgs on the day of the wedding should be confined to a tea drinking. This was to have come off in a marquee erected near the old cross; but owing probably to the unsettled state of the weather during the previous three or four days that intention was abaudoned, and tea v,*as served at the White Lion Inn.

After the removal of the cloth, Mr Turner occu- pied the chair, and Mr Davies (Sontley) the vice- chair. The loyal and patriotic toasts having been duly honoured, The Chairman proposed the toast of the evening, Health and happiness to the bride and bride- groom." In doing so, he said he was not so well acquainted with the history of the Kenyon family as some who were present. The marriage of the Hon. G. T. Kenyon had, as they were aware, taken place that day, and from all he heard he believed he had a most amiable bri le. The Kenyon family were much respected, and as to the bridegroom he was much admired by all who knew anything of him (applause). He begged to give them the toast of the evening (applause). The toast W\S drunk in a bumper. Mr J. Davies (Sontley), in reference to the toast, said he felt gratified at the cordial manner in which they had drunk the health of Mr Kenyon and his bride. He (Mr Davies) was connecied with a family that had been for about a century, tenants on the Gredington Estate. Mr Kenyon had done much to improve the condition of the fsu-ms, and added greatly to the comforts of the tenants by erecting suitable buildings, and cottages, so neces- sary in these days (applause). He always gave a willing ear to their wants—(hear, hear)-and whenever he came amongst them, they were always glad to see him (applause). He hoped they would some day have the pleasure of seeing the bride in their district (applause). The Chairman then proposed the health of Lord Kenyon. His lordship, he said, was but a youth now, but he was, nevertheless, the heir-at-law, -and would, if spared, in the course of a few years, become the lord of the estates, and they ought to pay him the honour of drinking his health (applause). "klu John Green said, as far as his knowledge went, the family of the Kenyons deserved the honour they were paying them. He had not long been a tenant himself, but he had found them generous landlords—(hear, hear)—and always ready to do anything that lay in their power for their tenants. Much had been done on the estates for the last few years, and he trusted in the future much more would be done, so that when Lord Kenyon arrived at manhood, he would greatly profit by the im- provements (applause). Mr Fitch proposed the toast of "The Tenants/' aud in doing so, said he kne.v all the tenants in the room and could speak highly of their good farming. Mr Kenyon had a good tenantry, anci they had a good landlord (applause). He was glad to find them there that evening showing their respect for him. He would couple with the toast the name of Mr Joseph Owen. Mr Owen was obliged for the honour done to the tenants. They had a good landlord, and a good landlord always made good tenants (hear, hear). Anytliingreasonable that they required they could have, and he was sure they ought to be good tenants under such circumstances (applause). Mr Lloyd gave the Health of the Chairman," remarking that not a more worthy gentleman could be found in the district to preside on such occa- sions. A number of other toasts followed, including the Health of the Host and Hostess" for the bounti- ful dinner provided. During the evening songs were given by Mr T. E. Griffiths, Mr Daniel Roberts, Mr Crofton, Mr J. Green, Mr W. Williams, &e.
WREXHAM.
WREXHAM. The bells of the parish church rang a merry peal throughout the day. Several of the tradesmen displayed their bunting. It is needless to say that Mr Kenyon is held in high esteem amongst the residents of the town, and when it became known that the marriage was to take place, a general desire was lexpressed that some mark of respect should be shown towards the bridegroom. The members of the Conservative Working Men's Association were the tirst to take the matter up, and they have, we believe, obtained a good amount in subscriptions amongst themselves to present Mr Kenyon, on his return home, with a suitable marriage souvenier. It is also intended to invite him to a public dinner at the Wynnstay Arms Hotel. For this purpose a committee consisting of Mr J. C. Owen, solicitor, Mr T. B. Acton, solicitor, Mr C. O. Williams, Alderman Beirne, Mr Snape, Mr J. Ollerheud, Mr Strachan, Mr Benson, Dr Llewellyn Williams, and Mr Evan Morris have been formed to make the necessary arrangements. We believe Mr Kenyon and his bride will i-oturn from clid the wedding tour to Gredington in January.

THE MARRIAGE OF
present possessor of the property. The latter was,' born in 1M7, and was married in 1850 to M",fqg Corbett (since deceased), by whom he had two! daughters. The eldest is deceased, and the second, daughter is now the life-partner of the Hon G. T. genyon. Mr Leche married, in 1855, the second daughter of the late C. Stanhope Jones, Esq., by whom he has several children. The origion of the coat of arms borne by the family is somewhat singular. One member of the family residing near Windsor, in Berkshire, in the time of Edward the Third, had on one occasion the distinguished honour of entertaining and feasting three kings under his roof at one time, to wit, the King of England, the King of France, and the King of Scots, but the two latter were prisoners of the English monarch. King Edward, to requite his good entertainment besides other favours, gave his hospitable host "three crowns upon his chief idented gules ye field ermine, which coat is ever borne by ye name and family dispersed into many other counties as Bedfordshire, Nottinghamshire, Yorkshire, Derbyshire, Cheshire, Lancashire, and many other places." The last Miss Leche married from the hall before the present briffe, was Miss Penelope Leche, who was married to Thomas Puleston, Esq., in 1860. Mr John Hurleston Leche, the father of the bride, is chairman of the Broxton petty sessional division, and i'3 a gentle- man well known and much respected both by his tenantry and by the neighbouring county facilities. Politically, the Houses of G-redington and Carden are Conservative. Mr Leche is a staunch Tory, and has taken considerable interest in the Con- servative cause in Denbighshire. Mr Kenyan's bride will, therefore, not have occasion to change 1 her political views in changing her home. No doubt she will be found a good' help-meet for Mr Kenyon when he again puts himself forward as a candidate for the Denbigh boroughs,
PRESENT FROM THE CONSERVATIVE…
The committee, finding that after defraying the cost of the locket and the incidental expenses, there remaindft a balance in hand, resolved to expend it in employing the bell ringers of the new church, at Denbigh, to chime merry peals during the whole of the day, in honour of the event. This was duly carried out, the melodious sounds proving a source bf enjoyment to the towns- people. Other similar means were employed to show the pleasure experienced by the friends of Mr Kenyon on his union with Miss Leche.
