THE COCOA ROOM question was again fully discussed at a thinly-attended meeting, held in the Bjard Room last Thursday week. The sub-corn nittee presented a report as to the most, feasible mode of working it, and the meeting a 'jourm-d to a more convenient night. EDUCATION AND NOVCJNIOUMITY.—We hear that a Nonconformist Educational Committee has been formed to watch the work of education in the to vn. What for? Not to provide fand-i to carry on the British Schools we imagine, but. probably to watch for a good oppor- tunity of thrusting a school board on the town. Church- men and independent ratepayers should keep their eyes on the Elucational Comuihtee; we mean, of course, in their punlic capacity. VIOLENT TRAP COLLISION.—On Saturday night as a vehicle belonging to Mr A. Riches, of Rhyl, was returning to town from Abergele, and was nearing the entrance to the Voryd Bridge another t¡-p, from Rhyl, cAm.. into collision. The traps were both smashed almost, to atom-, and one of the persons therein, named Leesow, a painter, was most- seriously injured. Ha was thrown T elently from the vehicle, his head coming in contact with the railing*, and had it not been for this ha would httre been harled into the river. The lamps at thw point were not lit, and of course there is a dispute as to whose fault it in, and to settle this question we hear it is likely that the parties will go into the County Court. Fortunately the other person, three or four in number, escaped with a severe snaking. MAGISTRATES COURT. MONDAY.—Before the Rev. Dr. Butterton, and Mr W. Price Jones.

TOWN CANVASS.—We believe the members of the Church of England Temperance Society and the Good Templars hive agreed to canvass the whole of the town, with the view of ascertaining the feelings of the ratepayers on the question of closing the public-houses on Sunday. NATIONAL SCHOOL.—On Saturday the pupil teachers of the district assembled at Denbigh National cchools for the annual examination by the inspector, the result of which will shortly be made known. On Wednesday the inspector visited and examined the scholars of the Na tional Schools. CHURCH SUNDAY SCHOOL—At the English Sunday School, on Sunday, the rector delivered an address on missions, and the necessity for supporting'hem, and a collection was made for the Home Mission Society.

A powerful disconrse was delivered by the Rev Owen Thomas, of Liverpool, one of the oldest ministers in the connection. IMPROVEMENT IN VALF-STREET.—Many of cur readers will nodcubt.be oleasinglv surprised at the g eflt altera- tion made at Back-place by Me-srs Littler and Williams, who have cor-verte i the premises into a business estab- lishment of the most attractive and convenient discrip- tion. Now that the new front is in, the change wrought can be appreciated, and the thanki of the town are due. to them for removing those unsightly old railings which formed one cf the blots of Vale-street.

THE BIBLE SOCIETY.—On Sunday morning, at St. Marv's Church, a collection was made on behalf of the locil branch of the British and Foreign Bible Society. The Rev. T. W. Vaughan, in commending the society te the support of the congregation, remarked that to a great extent the world was indebted to Wales for the Bible Society, whilst on the other hand Wales deiivpd great blessings from the influence of the society. He besought them to support it, as they appreciated the work their forefathers had originated, and to show the seed there was of assistance, he mentioned that as yet one haif the inhabitants of the world were believed to be without the Word of Life, notwithstanding the great work that the Society had accomplished. b PROPOSED FREEMASON'S HALL.—The Freemasons of Denbigh have held a meetIng at which geatlemen not connected with the order were, we believe, taken into confidence to consider a proposal to establish a Freemason's Hall, which should provide a lodge room, banquet room,and other offices for the masons, and also public-rooms, such as reading room, billiard and recreation and general club room- open to both mei*lV'*ra of the order and general subscribers. The masofce it necessary to obtain a lodge room promptly, in consequence of the aclioii of the council in resolving not to allew them the use of the Council Chamber when the alterations are complete. We believe that negociations are on foot for leasing or pur- chasing a very de drable premises in Park-street, which would give all the requisite room, and provide accommoda- tion for a porter and housekeeper to take charge of the pre^ ises. We learn that some definite arrangements will be made in a few days. Local gentlemen will, no doubt, be glad to take part in the working out of the project. BOROUGH POLICE COURT.—A special court was held on Friday, the magistrates present being the Mayor (Alderman Gee), and Mr Thomas Evans. Mr J. Parry Jones, senr., appeared for the trustees of the Denbigh and Pentrevoelas turnpike trust to apply for a rate in aid from the borough of Denbigh The Magistrates' Clark, sworn, proved receiving the notice and a copy of the application BOW produced. Copies of notices were also produced which had been served upon Mr R. C. B. Cl ugh the borough surveyor. Mr Parry Jones proved that the length of the road from Denbigh to Ptn'revoelaa was about IS miles, and about 21 of that lies in Den- bigh borousrh from the top of Henllan-street to Bryncoch, in Henllan parish. The road is out of repair, and the funds of the trust are insufficient to meet the expense required to put it in proper order. Ttie turn- pike trust expires in 1889, and then the road will fall on the borough. Credit had been given for 412 5.1 to the borough as the share of tolls, and the sum requiiei was .£25. 11 An order was accordingly made for that amount and the proportion of the costs. FUNERAL OF MRS EVANS, MAESYCOED.-The largest public funeral seen in the district for many years took place on Friday last, when the remains of the late Mrs ETan", wife of Mr John Evans, of Maesycoed Hall, near D'nbigh, were consigned to their last resting place in Oaerwys churchyard. The deceased lady, who was well kaown and greatly beloved, died on the previ, us Monday at the age of 60 years. The funeral cortege proceeded from Maesvcoed to Caerwys in the following order:— Carriage of Dr Evan Pierce, containing the Doctor, the Misses Pierce, and the Rev W. Hughes, rector of Caer- wys a large nnmber of ministers aud deacons through- out the district the members of the village club wearing mourning regalia; several hundred friends on foot; the hearse, on either side of which walked the bearers; 1st mourning coach, containing Mr John Evans, MACBVcosd Hall, Mr T.

Edwards, Nantclwyd House, Ruthin, Mr Jones, Bagillt, and Mr Webb, of Manchester. On either side of these coaches walked in single file the tenants and workpeople on the estate. Then followed a .large number of vehicles containing friends from all parts of the country, it being estimated that altogether there were several hundred persons present. The service was conducted in the church and at the grave by the rector of Caerwys. Mr T. J. Williams, draper, Denbigh, was the undertaker, and was also represented in the excellent carrying out of the arrangements by Mr Davies, his foreman. AWFULLY SUDDEN DEATH.—A most painful sensation was created in town on Monday night and Tuesday morning, by the report that Mr Robert IGreet), tinman, one of the oldest and most respected tradesmen of the tawn, had died in an awful!y sudden manner. He was considered a man of very robust health, and although lie was over 63 years of age, was most active and ener- getic in ever respect, his great delight being that he at such an age was so strong and hearty. It would appear that some two months ago he met with a very heavy financial loss, and this seemed to effect his health, and make him low spirited, but nothing to cause serious apprehensions on the part of his relatives. On Monday night he bad been conversing freely in his usual health with a neighbour, and went with him to inspect some alterations he had made. He afterwards turned into his own house, remarking that on such a night bed was the best place. Directly after getting into the house he complained of not feeling quite well, aad putting his hand over the region of the h-art intimated that he was in pain, and said he would go to bed. He proceeded upstairs, but whilst doing so faltered, and'became faint. He was assisted into the room, laid OK the bed, and medical aid sent for, but he died almost immediately. As soon as possible Dr Caithness and Dr Roberts were in attendance, but their services were of .0 avail life being extinct. The coroner did not deem it requisite to hold an irq -it on the body. Mr Green leaves a widow and ge family, but they are all grown up. With then greatest sympathy is felt ia this sad and sudden b; ent, Deceased was a mau who by his persevere ndattenion to busimw, hal raised himself to a c Portable position in life as a tra4# man. He was particularly ksoim M a warm ^EARTED CFCATSBWRO. MONTHLY COUNCIL MEETING. MONDAY.—Present: The Mayor (Alderman Gee), in the rliair; Aldermen Evan Pierce and T. J. Williams; Councillors R.

ORDERS ON THE TREASURER were passed for various articles received from tradesmen. INCREASE OF SALARY WANTED.—Mr Edmund Williams, Henllan, sent in his bill for collecting rate in that, parish and said he charged õ per cent this time- for collecting instead of 91 in the pound, as previously paid, as he thought, considering the trouble he had in making fresh rate book, &c., he was entitled to the extra charge. —It was shown that Mr Fox had the same trouble and yet only charged 9d 'per pound.—Mr Parry proposed that the same amount be paid as previously, namely, 9d in the pourrd, and if Mr Williams wanted an increase ler him come before the council for it.—Dr Pierce seconded it, saying that Williams was a good officer, but they onght not to allow the officers to fix their own salaries.— Agreed to. SMASHING A LAMP.—A lamp had been broken at Bridge-street, and it was said by Morris that a farmer known to him had broken it, and a tradesman living close by could prove this. The excuse was that Atkins's cart was in the way, and hence he was compelled to go close to the wall.— Agreed to pay the cost of the lamp, and call on the farmer to repay it.

H. Roberts proposed, and Mr John Davies feconded, that the town clerk write to Dr Miller and s-iv that the land mustbe reinstated orlegal proceedings would taken against him.—Mr Morris proposed that the Mayor, the town clerk, the surveyor, and Mr John Davies inspect the place and report to the council.—This was carried. COTTNCTL CHAMBER.—It was agreed to put a window in the north side of the council chamber, which would be a matter of great convenience, the council to decide afterwards the size and form of the window. THE RESIGNATION OF THE MEDICAL OFFICER.—Mr J. Lloyd Roberts wrote asking to be excused from attending, in consequence of an engagement of some importance. He sent his report book, which showed that during the four weeks there had been eighteen births and twelve deaths, two of the latter at the asylum and one at the infirmary, the deaths being at the rate of 19-27 per thousand. Mr Morris did not think it fair that they should expect the attendance ot the other officers and excuse the medical officer so often as they did.-The Mayor said certainly not, but the medical officer had placed his resignation in their hands, and the question was should they consider that now or let it stand till they considered Dr Thorn's report, and get Mr Roberts to be presen'.—Mr Humphrey Roberts He is not now our medical officer. It is an office at pleasure, and he sent you in a formal resignation. It is only as a matter of courtesy that he has made this report.—Some conver- sation ensued with a view of adjourning it to have Mr Koberts at the meeting figaiii.-Nir R. H. Roberts thought it child's plav. The office was clearly vacant, ind the medical officer could refuse to attend again. He neved that the resignation be accepted.- Alderman Williams seconded it.—Dr Pierce was sorry to lose Mr Roberts as an officer. He was a very good one, the only iault being he gave them too long reports, too many details (laughter).—Mr E. W. Gee proposed, and Mr Morris seconded, that the acceptancp cf the resignation be deferred with a view of having Mr Roberts present when Dr Thorn's report was discussed.-On going to the vote, there were six for accepting and six for postponing t, and the Mayor gave his casting vote in favour of accepting the resignation at once. Mr Morris remark- ing that it was a great mistake. Is GUANO A NUISANCE.—Persons in the v'cinity of the infirmary and the market arches, where guano is stored, strongly complained to the inspector of nuisances that the guano gave forth a great stench, which was un- bearable.—A long discu-sion arose as to whet her guano was a nuisance, and could- be dealt with under the Sanitary Act.—Dr Pierce thought persons noses were got very acute at smelling these things (laughter)—The Mayor thoueht it a far worse nuisance than a deposit of manure.—Mr R. H. Roberts contended they had no power to deal with it.—Mr Armor thought they were ;arryi*g things too far, and would interfere with the trade of the town.—Mr John Davies proposed, and Mr Morris seconded, that ;ha owners of the guano be called upon to remove it within a mon' b.-Dr P!Crca proposed, und Mr P<ury seconded, that the owners be allowed to sell off the stock but not introduce any more.-The mon h's notice was carried.

The general feeling was that it was no en- croachment, and it was said some old railings bad existed there before, so that the subject dropped.—Much discussion ensued on the purchase of a scavenging cart. Designs were sent in from the three ironmongers, and each of them agreed to allow 7* per cent. off the maker's prices, and the price mentioned was £28, for a cart holding 225 gallons and weighing 12 cwt. To decide who should have the order the names of the three iroumongers were written on pieces of piper, folded and placed iu a hat. One of the members drew therefrom the name of E. H. Hughes, Crown-square, and to him the order was given.—The tenders for carting stoae were gone into at length, in three of the districts that of Mr R.

Roberts: I propose that it be laid on the table.—Mr Evan Thomas: Well, what's that good for ? I think that will be an insult to all the women of England and they are the best part of the kingdom (laughter). It is a great shame to treat the documenc thus.—Mr John Davies seconded the motion for "shelving it"—Mr E. W. Gee proposed that the petition be adopted.—The Mayor: What, adopt a petition without reading it ?—Alderman Williams seconded its adoption.—A brief discussion ensued on it. On going to the rote five voted for rejecting it and five for its adoption.—The Mayor 1 give my casting vote against it, so that it lies on the. table.-Mr E. W. Gee (humoromAly): Terf wOI4 I'll teU you wife (great laughter) CROWN RENTS.—A discussion arose on this subject, Mr Joseph Roberts, bailiff, having waited upou the majority of the persons paying the rents, and several of them refused to purchase.—The Town Clerk was ex- plaining something to the Mayor, when Mr Morris de- manded that the explanation bJ given to the Council; and no hole and corner work there (, augh,e r).-The Town Clerk I was speakis g to the Mayor.—A general discussion of no interest occurred, in which Mr Morris accused tbe Counciil of "child's play" ("no, no"). i Here they had taken up this subject, and now at the first difficulty put it on one side.—The Mayor protested against the assertion that they were guilty of 11 child's Play Mr Morris But indeed, you are.—Mr K W. Gee objected to Mr Morris's dictum on that point, but eventually the subject was allowed to drop. THE VALUE OF A MEDICAL MAN'S TalE: CUTTING DOWN THE SALARY.—The Mayor said in taking steps to appoint a successor to Dr. Roberts they should fix the salary.—Mr E. W. Goe Is it compulsory that we should elect a new officer -He was told it was.—The Mayor and other members thought the inspector of nuisances under paid and the medical officer over paid.— Mr E. W. Gee He was for what he did. It was a mere question of birth and death returns that the registrar could have furnished. He proposed that the salary of the medical officer be reduced to £25 and the inspector of nuisances get £ 20.—Mr Parry seconded it, and thought the inspector of nuisances' duties were much heavier than formerly. Dr. Thorn makes out that he cannot do his duty for the salary.—Mr Morris But can ycu get hold of a gentleman that will go in for the office at ?nch a salary as .£25 ?— Mr Humphreys Roberts was at a loss to see what the medical officer's salary bad got to do with this subject.—The Mayor explained that they could not alter the inspector's salary day.—Mr numphreya Roberts proposed thtt the salary remain at IX30 How ihey expected an officer to do his dUiy for less he could not. conceive indeed, that was quite low enough.—Mr J. S. Jones seconded the £ 30 salary.—On going to th" vote, five voted" for £ 150 and six, including the Mayor, for £ 25.—The Mayor I am quite sure that X25 is worth double the duty Dr. Roberts gave us. When we see that the medical officer does more value for us than Y,25 we can soon raise the salary.—Mr J. S. Jones But you forget the relative value of men's time. When you compare the medical and the inspector of nuisances'duties and salaries, 5s per day would be good pay perhaps for one man, and yet £1 would not be good pay for another. THE COUNTR BALL: CHURCH VERSUS DISSENT.—The authorities of St. D.via's Church wrote to ask for the Assembly Room fqr the use of the congregation, whilst the church was being repainted, on the same terms as other denominations, which they believed was 5s per Sun,'i,tv.Nfr E. W. Gee proposed, "That they have it on the very same terms as any other denomination. Mr J. S. Jones seconded it, ard it was agreed to.—The Mayor thought the Church party ought to send their WeLh Sunday school into the Assembly Room and pay for it. He did not see why the Town Hail should be placed at the disposal of the Church people, and parti- cularly at the disposal of the promoters of that cooking class (laughter), whilst the Council had a public room for disposal. There was a rule that the justices used to observe, that the Town Hall should only be used for the Church Missionary Society and the Bible Society, but now the Town Hall waa continually used by the Church party. Let them use the Assembly Room and pay for it, like other denominations, and the cooking class, too.—Mr Morris; Why do you make a distinction between the Church Missionary Society ? Don't they pay for it ?—Air R. H. Roberts believed there was a payment made.—Mr J. S. Jones said they had it for the Presbyterians for nothing for some time, but as soon as the Independents removed fiom the Assembly itcoin to their chapel they (the Presbyterians) had to go to the Asssembly Room, but they had it free whilst they used it.—The Mayor; I don't see why the county should pro- vide any denomination with a room free of charge.— Mr R. H. Roberts: I entirely agree with these views, f and I stated my views at the church meeting when we decided to go into the Assembly Room, but I fail to see any notice of tin's subject on the agenda, and therefore this diseM'sion is a wuste of time (hear, hear).—Thus the subject collapsed. NOTICE OF MOTION.—Mr Parry gave notice of a moiion to rescind a resolution passed a previous meeting in reference to Sergeant Lewis's appointment as inspec- tor under the Contagious Diseases (Animals) Act. ANNUAL MEETING OF THE CONSERVATIVE ASSOCIATION. On Thursday night, the 28th ult., ihe annual meet- ing of the Denbigh Conservative Association was held in the large room at the King's Arms Ina, under the pre- sidency of Alderman J. Parry Jones, who was supported by Mr J. C. Wynne Edwards, Mr J. P. Lewis (solicitor), Mr Henry Joyce (treasurer), Councillor John Lloyd, Councillor W. Morris, Mr Humphreys (Manchester), &c. There was a good attendance of tradesmen and working men members of the association. Several crltlemen, earaest supporters of the association, were unable to be present notably Dr. Tumour, who was attendmg the funeral of his brother in Norfolk; and Miijor H. R.. ESugbe. whose sister-in-law, Mrs Wick- ham, died on tbe previous day. The President, who was received with applause, con- gratulated the members upon the success which had attended the association during the past year, parti- cularly as therj was now a luli in strictly political matters, owmg ts the great inter-st taken in the position of affairs in ths East. Even Mr Gladstone, wno had been stumping the country for the last fifteen months, had retired almost into private life, and his friends at Greenwich had almost deserted him (applause). He thought it a matter for congratulation that, the Con- servative Gove/n-aient was so well supported and their actions so much approved, not only by all true Con- servatives, but ;q the moderate Liberals Jnpplause). He was glad to see the association in so healthy a state, and was bure that if an election were near at hand that that room would be crowded by an enthusiastic body of Conseivatives ready to support their principles (applause). The President mentioned that Mr P. Lewis Roberts, the secretary, was absent through the death of his little boy, and he therefore called upon Mr Cottom, who had consented to act for the secretary, to read the REPORT OF THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE. In presenting their annual report, tho committee have great pleasure ia being able to congratulate the members upon the prosperity that has attended the association during the past year. The lieading and Recreation Rooms have been well attended, and the debating class carried on during the winter season. A few months ago the committee, at a cost of about £ 20, pu' chased a billiard table for the use of the numbers, aud to n>ake room for it it was neees ary to re- move- the partition between the Reading and Recreation Rooms, and occupy the whole of the available space. This has, of co<arse, been a disadvantage to the readers, for whose accommodation it will be absolutely necessary to provide a separate room before the commencement of next winter. The billiard table has proved a great attraction, having had the effect of bringing to the room Conservative friends who did not previously attend; so that the attendance since Christmas has been larger than ever before known. The com- mittee trust that when additional room is provided for read- ing and discussion they will be able to form a small library, aud therefore respectfully solicit gifts of suitable books and periodicals. Duriug the year every legitimate means hsis been taken to strengthen the Conservative causa in the borough. The committee refer with great satisfaction to the continued prosperity of the Conservative Government, whose wise and patriotic conduct in dealing with one of the most delicate and difficult questions that has occupied statesmen during the present century, has ffained for them the cou- fidenee and support not only of ail true CoBtervatives, but abo of moderate men of all pariies. In proof of tbis, re- ference need only be made to the overwhelming majority by which the recent Vote of Credit was passed in the House of Commons, and to the public meetings held throughout the country ill support of the Government. At the last meeting of the committee a cordial vote of thanks was passed to the president (Mr J. Parry Jones) for his services during the past year, and the thanks of the committee are due to the officers of the association. The committee acknowledge with thanks the donations and subscriptions received during the year, and they also tender their thanks to those gentlemen who have supplied papers and periodicals gratis to the room. The statement of accounts for the year shows a small balance in hand. The President referred with satisfaction to the report, and moved its adoption, which was duly carried. ELECTION OF OFFICERS AND C03IMITTEES. Mr C. Cottom proposed a vote of thanks to Mr Parry Jones for his services as president during the past year. They all knew his excellent qualities as a private geDT le- man and as a Conservative, for they had known him longer than be (the rpeaker) bad, but none could appre- ciate more than. he did Mr Parry Jones' services to the Conservative cau'e. As one of the officers of the associa- tion he had had during the year experience of the deep interest he took in the asiaociation, and of his earnes: desire to support and extend those principles in which they gloried. They knew his abilities as a political leader, and they looked forward to the time of the next election-and it maight. come sooner tkan some of them anticipated—when they hoped Mr Parry Jones would lead them to victory (applause). Mr Helsby seconded the motion, and it was carried with loud cheering. Mr Parry Jones, in returning thanks, said he had not been able to give them all the assistance he could have wished, for their meetings were generally held at night,, and he resided from town, which rendered it inconvenient for him to attend, but he was about to propose as his successor a friend who was a thoroughly good Con- servatlve, and would render them great assistance. He referred to Dr Tumour (loud applause). He was always ready to support in every way the Conservative cause, and would have been present that evening bnt for having to be at Norfolk on a very melancholy occasion, namely, the death of his brother. Dr Tumour would be able to attend oftener than he had done, and he cordially pro- posed his election (applause). Mr J. P. Lewis seconded the motion, which was carried with applause. Mr Owen Williams, Post-office Lane, proposed that Messrs J. R. Dpnman. Castle Hill; Isnac Williams, Vale- street; Charles Cottom, Guardian Office; and J. M. Roberts, Vule-street, be the vice-presidents for the year. Mr Robert Jones, Post-office Lane, seconded the motion, which was carried. Mr Cottom replied, and mentioned that Mr Denman, the senior vice-president, who took such a deep interest in the association, was absent through ilin-af-. Mr Holgate, High-street, proposed a vote thanks to Mr Joyce, the treasurer, and his re-election for the ensuing year, remarking that they eoald not have a better peigon for the eSew than Mr Joyce. I Mr Helsbv seconded the motion, which was carried with acclamation. Mr Joyce, in replying, expressed the great pleasure it give him to serve the association and help to promote its usefulness. Mr Joyce proposed a vote of thank3 to the secretary, Mr P. Lewis Roberts, who most ably discharged the duties of his office, and also that they offer him their f-ondoler,ce and sympathy in hi bereavement, he aud L¡¡ Hoberts bad experienced. Mr W. A. Njtt seconded the motion, aad it was carried. Mr Thomas Morris proposed a vote of thanks to the retiring auditors, Messrs Huh Pierce and H. Re id. tvd the election of Mr G. T. Smith and Mr W. G. Helsby, remarking that they wore ju:;t the persons for the position, Mr Smith bein" a chip of the old block" (laughter). Mr Jones, Eagles Inn, seconded tha motion, which rcas cariied. Mr Thomas Roberts, Chapel-street, p-oposed a vote of thank"? to Mr T. Morris, the late librarian, and the con- firmation of the appointment of Mr E. Jones. Seconded by Mr Joyce, and carried. Mr B. Ricketts, Broomhill, proposed, and it was seconded b," Mr H. Horton, draper, aud carried, that the following be the committee for the ye-irMessrs J. Williams, Thomas Morris, B. Holgrte, Owen Wl!iam«, j W. A. Nott, Lewis Roberts (the station), Thomas Ashford, W. G. Helsby, G. T. Smiih, Robert Jones, Robert Bell, and Thomas Roberts (Chapel-street). Mr J. C. Wynne Edwards delivered a lengthy address on the ch-ef political topic.. of the day, referring to the commencement-of the Bulgarian horrors and the tactics of the Liberal party, who assumed that they only sympathised with the illtreated Bulgarians, but he ventured to say thAt there was r.ot a Conservative that had not genuine sympathy wirh them. He referred to the action taken even in Denbigh by the red hot Radical?, and admired Mr HeatolJ, who, as a Liberal, bad in the midst of a furore of passionate excitemcut proposed a motion to clArr anv expression of opinion for six months, and he (Mr Edwards) seconded that 11101:0:1, He i'trol1!1y condemned the agitation then set on foot by Mr Gladstone and his followers, and asserted that it was an a'tempt to prostitute some of the holiest and bost feelings of mankind, and especially of Englishmen, and one cf tha worst purposes that ever was attempted by any disappointed politician (great applause). Many persons bad, however, EOW found that their symI'Rth:e: were directed into a wrong channel. They were induced to think that if England joined "Holy Russia" against Turkey they would se'tle the question, and return in tiiuniph as the J.beratoj". of a down trodden race, but who believed in "II Iv Rus-u's d'.sinteiestedne.-s now (applause). PeopK' saw now that-that agitation was an attempt fo crush the great Premier of the.country, Lord Beaconsfield, the only :w.n that had really understood this question from the beginning (applause). He had foreshadowed a policy, and the Radicals were afraid of what wculd come, aud made an attempt to crush him by a forced appeal to the warm hearts of the people (applause). To the university to which he had the honour of belonging, and Mr Gladstone of once repre- senting, he had latery confessed that it had been the purpose of his life to oppose tho policy of uur gr: at leader, Lord Beaconsfie'.d. He severely criticised Mr Gladstone's conduct, and declared that for it all history would hereafter hold him responsible (hear, bear). (A Voice We have heard tbe last of him) Tiiey might have done, but they could not in some measure escape the terrible effects of whit Mr Gladstone had done. He proceeded to shew what Russia had done by a reference to a recent map shewing how that country had parcelled out the land concerned, and said of course she saw she had 1 berated the Yes! and had taken over *o herself Greeks, Turks, Jews, and beritics; amongst them two millius ol Greeks, who hated ner with a bitter hatred. He rsferred to the necessity for firm dealing by the Government with Russia, and remarked that one-third of our trade depended on it. It, wis a questif>n of whether the capital of England should be used in tho channels it had been u ;ed heretofore, and whether we should be fres to trade and act in the way we' had done, or whether our interests were to be interfered with by one ci the most tyrannous dispotic governments existing on this earth. Tne question for them to consider, and wh«h they would possibly be called on with other constituencies to decide ere 1,,ni-, was whether Lord BeaconsSeld and his party slionld continue to carry on the Sovernmenr, and briug the coivitry safely through this great danger, or whether they would band over the Government to another leader —the rash and excitable Gladstone, and those that.are mis&d by him. He felt confident when required that tho aaembers of that association would say how they desired it to be, and would give their Bupport to sound Conservative principles (applause). MJ- William Morris briefly referred to the report, and thoroughly supported the sentiments expressive of con- fidence in her Majesty's Government. As regards our dealing with Russia, he remarked that we could very soon close up tho Russian poyt, and thus cripple her trade. Mr Humphrey, tea merchant. of Manchester, was in- troducsd to the meeting by Mr T„ Ashford, and delivered a most able address which was well received. He alluded to the change which had come oirer the country during' the )aa few months. He claimed to know as much as most men of the feeling of the country for he travelled something like 25.000 miles each year through England and Wales, and changed his company every day and night it the week. Eighteen months ago he dnred hardly ssy a word against the notions then prevalent, but, to-day four-fifths of the people were on the Con- servative side and had coufidc:k-a in the government policy. The Conservatives used to be tanted that they had nona of the wotkiug classes- well be was very proud to see so large a number of woik-iag men then present, and was proud to belcng with them to the great Con- servations cause (applause). The cry, wh never be went, was that trade was bad, and he meant to say that the country. was suffering from the laws passed by the late Government and other Liberal Governments. He was as much in favour of free trivia as anybody if hu could &t other countries to reciprocate (applause), but not to allow them to bring their-articles into this country free, whilst Englishmen were marie to pay a heavy duty for thei* manufactures going into e: 11"1' [tarts. He alluded to the difficulty of competing vriih America in the iron and steel trades, and remarked that when President Grant jame to Sheffield he was asked how it was he put on a lhrge duty on this kind ot manufac'ure in America, and h* replied that, whilst he was president of the United Stafes it was his duty to Lois-after the interests of his own country. If it was bin duty to do that was it, not the daty of Mr Gladstone, lhaa prime minister of Eng- land's duty. to look afrer the interests of his country (ap- plause). He dwelt on this, subject as regarded also the countries of Europe, the r3sult being, he saui, that whiht all kiaas of articles were imported from tho con- tinent into England, incladiag even coffins (laughter); out own working men wara walking about the streets without employment. Referring to political affairs again he said a great deal cf spiteful talk was indulged i<.<t by ibo Radicals about Lord Beacocsfield, but he defied them to put their fingers upon one immoral political aat ot Lord Beaconsfieiu's, and shewed them that he could put his upon many immeral p< litical acts of Mr Gladstone's (applause). Ho advised Shem not to halt but go fvrward. attending to the regjsUr and preparing for a struggle giving them an exasjple cf a glorious victory. won in Manchester. Ho bsd. NO doubt government woukl remaia in office to the end &f their term, simply bec&ase come what, mav the opposition dare not undertake the task. They might talk aad call the Prime Minister offensive names but they could not take the reins of Government, from his bands (applause). He exhorted the Denbigh Conservatives to be watchful and take Care that with the other portions of th ? Conservative constituency they did not allow a Radical to wrest the seat now 60 worthily filled by their noble representative for the county, Sir Watkin Williams Wynn (great applause). Short addresses were delivered by Mr John Lloyd, Mr Lewis Roberts, railway station and Mr Idwal Jones after which the meeting closed with a cordial vote of thanks to the chairman oa the proposition of Mr J. C. Wynne Edwards. ANNUAL VESTRY MEETING. The annual ves'ry meeting for the appointment of overseers, and other business, took placo on Thursday, the 29;11 ult., at the magistrates' rcom, under the presi- dency of Captain R. Lloyd Williams. Mr W. A. Nott, one of the retiring overseers, having explained the absence of Mr Price Jonem, the second overseer stated the busi- ness of the meeting. THE ASSISTANT OVERSEER'S SALART-Mr Edward Mills, the assistant overaeer, submitted a letter to the overseers in which he said :— Having performed the duties of overseer of Denbigh parish for upwards of eight years to the satisfaction of the poor law auditors, and I believe of the ratepayers generally, at a salary of Lbo a year, and taking into consideration that the rateable value of the parish has increased more than one-sixth within the the last 16 years, consequently causing much additional work, and that my predecessor—the late Mr Daniel Davies- was in receipt of the same salary as is now paid to me, I beg respectfully to apply for an increase, hoping you will put the matter before the vestry prior to the expiration of your term of office. Other parishes pay from 5 to 8 per cent. for collection of rates. whilst at Denbigh the remuneration is at the rate of 31 per ceut. only. I beg to remind you that the majority if not all the other collectors in St. Asaph Ucion have applied for an increase of salary within the last year or two, and have succeeded in obtaining it. Mr E. W. Gee said he disagreed with the present svstem of having a rate collector for every parish in the Union, and he bad come to the determination at the new Board of Guardians to propose that collectors be employed for each district separately. He proposed that the question of increasing Mr Mills' salary be postponed until his morion waa brought before the Gaardians.— Mr Mills desired to say that in the Union thare was paid a little over X700 for the collection of rates, but it should be stated that the salaries were paid by the various parishes and not out of the union fund.-Captain Lloyd Williams said that in Mr Mills the parish had a man who for the last 8 years had performed his duties ex. ceedingly well, and even supposing that Mr Gee suc- ceeded in carrying his motion at the Board of Guardians to have one collector for the whole district, it could not take place for 12 months, and it would be a very hard I case indeed if Mr Mills, who had discharged his duties to the great satisfaction of them all, was compelled to wait for tbis time for an increase in hia salary that the vestry might feel ju,tified in giving him. (Applause). He begged, therefore, to movo that the sum Mr E. W. Gee I object, you have no right, as chairman, to propose anything.-Capt.ain Lloyd Williams: Oh, very well; if you obj -ct I will refrain from doing so, but I have no doubt some other ratepayer will propose a similar motion. -Mr Gee I merely wish the question deferred for a time so that I may bring my motion before 'he Gmrd- ians.—Mr John Jones, Westley Placo But Mr Gee, are you sure to be a guardian next year? (Langiter);—Mr Gee Oli ves, I am quite Rure.Ur W. A. Nott: I beg to propose that Mr Mills receive an advance of £ 10 iu his salary, if only to shew our recognition of the faithful manner in which he has di-charged hu duties during tho past 8 veirs,. (tlenr, hear).—Mr John Kaowles, draper, seconded the motion, and s;iid that as a recent overseer he couP testify to the excellent manner in which Mr Mills discharged his duties.—Mr Parry, draper What d.fference will it make if we allow it >o stand over? — Mr R. H. Roberts: It is net fair to Mr Mills to allow it to remain over, and we have no guarantee tlht Mr Gee will be able to induce the Guardians to accept his views on this question. No good reason had been given why the salary should not be increased. (Hear, hear).—Mr E. W. Gee: Why it's quite enough salary now.—The Chairman Tnere is no other ratepayer here of your opinion for nobody has seconded your motion.-Aftec some further discussion raised by Mr Gee, the motion of an inctease fnm £50 to LGO annually was put, Mr R W. Gee being the only person voting against it; the remainder of the meeting being in its favour, NOMINATION OF OVERSEERS.—The overseer? submitted six names to the meeting as persons suitable to serve in the office of overseer.—It was suggested that any rate payer could nominate other persons;—Mr E. YV. Gee protested th.^t the retiring overseers were the only persons that could nominate, but the meeting proceeded to deal with the qaes'icn independently of the over- seers'nominations, and eyentn lily the following names were chosen to be submitted to the justices—Messrs T, Anwyl, Vde-strcet i T. Pierce Hughes, draper; T. Parry, draper, Ciowa-sqaare Alfred Ashford, grocer, T. J. Roberts, timber merchant; and Thomas Roberts, grocer, High-street.—Mr E. W. Geo said the meeting had not finally selected these that were to serve.—The Chairman: Oh, that is a question for the magistrates.— Mr Gee The magistrates, indeed, that's a fine mode of doieg it. —The Chairman Well, such is tho SMte of the law and we must abide bv if.—Mr Gee: The law, indeed ob, I suppose the Government is the law at present, and a fine state of things it i-Ilr John Jones: Ah, we must send you up there, Mr Gee, to make the laws; then they w¡il be right (laughter). PARbII MAP: PARLIAMENTARY LANGUAGE—Mr Mills said he found it, very awkward to be without a parish map, for the land is often divided or re-sold, and he found himself unable to point cut the exact, bouhdaues. The whole of ihu- sheets for the parish could be obtiiried for about 24°.—Mr John Lloyd proposed that the maps he purchased.— Mr Gee said if they were obtained they ought to be put in some public position for reference by the ratepayers.—Mr R. H. Roberts: Where could you put it belter than at the overseer's cffice, for being registrar he would be always likely to be found.—Mi- Gee I don't call that a public place.—Mr Roberts: Well, where woul:l yon put it?—A Ratepayer; Oh, perhaps he would place it in front of the town hall (laughter) —Mr Mills: The maps and books can be seen at my any and -very day of the week. I may meat ion that eveiy parish in the district has a rna-p.- Mr Gee That's a falsehood I know it is (disapproba- t;oii).-Cipta(ii Ll,,i-(i Willi,,tiiis: I will not allow til i,, conduct. Whilst, I am chairman of a meeting such lang-un go shall not be used. It is not language that should he used at a public meelisg (applause).—Mr Gee It does not matter, sir, 1 can prove Captain Lleyd Williams It does matlN though, an I won't allow such language. If Mr has made a mistake, you surely might tell him so in a pioper way ( iaar,. ) hear).—Mr Gee I know it is a falsehood, for there is nor one even in the next parish., Bodfari.— Mr Mills: 1' would have expected better thiags from Mr Gee than this, brought up as he has been, but I will on this occasion give him an example of good conduct by not replying to the language ho has used (near, hear). Ho then remarked that he wouid givo them an instance of the necessity for the map. When-required to trace the boundaries on a farm at the Gwaeaynog estate he was qnilse unable to do so, and often had1 to trouble the Rector to allow him to fee the tithe map.— Mr C. Cottom SECONDS d the motion for the pcrchfu-e of the map, which was carried.—Mr Mills thanked tho- ratepayers for mo kind manner in which they had treated him, and sud he would endeavour to faithfully diseharge his duties so that they should not 'be disappointed in him. Hu hoped Mr Gee would yet feel that he was worrhy the assistance he had given him in tho pasi (hear, hear). A vote of thanks was proposed to the chairman by Mr John Lloyd &nd seconded by A3r Parry, and the proceedisgs terminated.

ST. ASAPR. THE STREETS.—In several parts of the city a little attention from the Highway Surveyor would be an ad- vantage to pedestrians. CHURCH TEMPERANCE SOCISTT.—A meeting of the society was arranged for Tue-,gay night, to consider the duties of the committee and other bu-ineas, with a view to the promotion of the objects of the society. BOARD OF GUARDIANS.- l'bere was a good attendance on Thursday.-Out-rilief for the fortnight £ 300 4, cheques issued for J.300 treasurer's balance £1,575 16s 5d. Calls paid by Cwm X45 15s; Abergele £ 230; Dyserth £ 56. Number in the house 111. No less than 93 vagrants have been relieved during the fortnight.— A long discussion arose as to the difficulties with the assistant overseer of Cwm who was addicted to many ir- regularities, so much so, that they had to collect part of the rate themselves. It was agreed to communicate with the Local Government Board.—Much correspondence had ensued between the clerk and persons liable to support their relatives.—It would appear that nearly all the old Guardians are nominated, and that there are only likely to be contests in Bodfari, 8t. Asaph, Henllan, and Dymeirchion and in some of these it is proboble some of the candidates will withdraw. MONTHLY PETTY SESSIONS. MONDAY.—Before Major Rowley Conwy, Sir W. Grenville Williams, Birt., the Rev R. H. Howard, and Major B'rch. A UMON CA8E.-Tbe St. Asaph Board of Guardians charged George Mannerley with neglecting to contribute l towards the support of his mother, an old itdy 84 years of age, aa inmate of the iionse.-P.S.
