His former circular was, therefore, null and void, as they could not take boys from boards of guardians on the terms therein mentioned.—Colonel White said the Ciio" was called the only industrial school between Bristol and Glasgow," so it was not a training ship at all. —The Clerk stated that X20 a-year was twice the amount it costs to keep a boy in the workhouse.

Sir Watkin being much pleased at the manner in which the 2nd Denbigh Volunteers (Ruabon) went through the evolutions, and the complimentary terms in which the inspecting officer spoke of them, said he thought they were worthy of a prize, and 1 stated his intention to send them a cup when he next weufc up to London. The announcement tvas received with cheers by the iiuabomtes. The result uf the day's proceedings highly delighted tha e Wrexham company, who, on their return to town, carried Sergeant-Instructor Jones through the streets on their shoulders. Proceeded by the band, which played See the conquering hero comes," they repaired to the Old Swan Inn. Abbott-street, and drank out of the cup. Hundreds followed the proeession, and not a little amusement was created at the spectacle of Sergeant Jones on the shoulders of two men. GENERAL PURPOSES COMMITTEE.—A meeting of this committee was held on Wednesday, when there were present: Alderman Jones, chairman; Aider- men Beale and Owen; and Councillors Shone, Lloyd, and Baugh.—The surveyor presented n plan of the two fields purchased by the Corporation, laid out in lots for sale, for building purposes. Mr Shone pointed out that this plan/so far as related to the first field, was in direct contravention of the course taken hitherto, in accordance with the pro- posai made by himseif and adopted by the Council, when they appointed a new streets committee. The proposition was that the land in the second field only should be sold. The Town Clerk said at the last meeting of the Council, at which Mr Shone was not present, the proposition was enlarged so as to include the two fields in the plan. Mr Shone made a further explanation, and said it seemed to him that advantage had been taken of his absence to overthrow the work of the committee and carry out Mr Lloyd's plan in toto. If they did so they would be committing a very great blunder. Mr j Lloyd said it was not his plan he had never seen ti it before. Considerable discussion followed, and it was decided to defer the matter to a special meet- ing.—Mr J. Llewellyn Williams reported that there had been during the past month 25 births, 12 males and 13 females, being at the rate of 30 per thou- sand. Thirteen deaths had occurreed, which at approximate census of the borough for the present month, which was exactly 10,01)0, was at the rate of 156 per thousand per annum, the rate in the corresponding period of 18;6 being 23. There had been seven deaths of children under 12. Attention was called to the sanitary state of a house in Tuttle- street, belonging to Mr Cross, and occupied by a person nam^d Kelly. Mr Higgins added"that the case was a very bad oue, and he had also to com- plain of overcrowding in the same house.—Mr Higgins reported that the receipts from the Smith- field were:—August 16th, £ 9 16s Id; Septemb-ri 6th, £ 9 10s lid. The Chairman called attention I) a disparity in the number of animals sold by Mr P. Lloyd as given by him in the local press and as paid for to the collector. Mr Higgins said he had written to Mr Lloyd, applying tor the difference, 6s Id, between the number paid for and that given, to which he had replied that he wished he might get it." In reply to Mr Lloyd, the inspector said he was satisfied that Mr Frank Lloyd paid for all the animals really sold. After some discussion, the matter dropped. A letter was read from Messrs Bajdey and Bradley, Advertiser Office, stating that having made internal alterations in their office, they did not intend building on the ground which the award of Mr Horatio Lloyd had given them, until the expiration of their present lease, and wished to know .whether the Council would recognise their right to build up to the boundary liue then, or wnether they would be required to j fence it in, in order to preserve'the right.—Mr' Alderman Owen thought they had better leave the matter on the award.—Mr Shone, however, thought that it would only be courteous to send a written reply to the letter, saying the Council would abide by the award and he a.oved a. resolution that this be done.—The Towh Clerk said he thought Mr Bradley woYiid be satisfied if he saw him and told him verbally that the Council would not take Of Mr Owen proposed that • the communication be verbal,'as suggested by the Town Clerk, and this being seconded by,Mr Alder- man Beale, was by three to-two.—-Xo o.thcr business of interest came before the meeting. 1ST.

MR BRANDRAM'S SHAKESPERIAN RECITALS On Tuesday evening, a large and respectable audience assembled at the Town Hall, Wrexham, to near Mr S. Brandram, M.A., give one of his celebrated Shakesperian recitals, the play selected hnno- "Tho Merchant of Venice.' Thl cLir was takeuVsk R. d. Cunliffe, Bart. Those who expected a treat on this occasion were not dissappoiuted. A3 a feat 0: memory alone, putting aside for the moment the rapid cnanges of voice, attitude, and expression it is simply marvellous and when we remember ti'iat Mr -tfrandram llas stored in his capacious memory other plays of the great dramatist our wond-r and admiration arc increased. After hü. ving hecu-d tnis gentleman's admirable rendering of Shakespeare's masterpieces, we shall find n, new and peculiar interest iu The Merchant of Ynwe." One will learn toadmiie more the lovely Portia, as witty as beautiful, who delivers her lovers friend from the clutches of Shylock the Jaw the noble disinterestedness of Antouia, the merchant, in con- senting to be bound by such a hard bond for the sake of his tnend; while the usurious and vindictive Israelite will be far more vividly impressed upon our memory utter hearing the masterly pourtrayal of his character by Mr Brandram. Th» sparkling- wit and humour which ran through the whole composition flashed forth from the rapid dialoug-es. and these the reciter gave with so much ease and fidelity that Iiie various characters appeared to live and breathe before the audience. We truct as the chairman hinted at the close of the recitation, that Mr Biandraih will be induced to re-visit Wresham at no distant period; and we can promise him as good an audience as that which listened whim with so much erat ill cation on Tuesday evening.
