BANGOR WATER COMPANY. To the Editor of the North Wales Chronicle. Sir, With your permission, I will endeavour, to the ÙCHt of my abilities, to answer the queries of your cor- ,rt-al)-)n(leiit ,iii Itiliil,it;ii)t." With regard to hi. first question, "Whether payments of the water rates can be resisted on the ground of in- aufifcioiit supply ?M I think every person who takes in the Company s water is bound to pay the rate, w) ether he has* an ade- quate supply or n<»b, provided th, rate d )L-,4 not exceed Is. 6d. in tiie pound on the rateable value of his house. The Company, in consideration of such rate, contract to auppl" v a suiffcient qnauti;y of watt-r if they fail to do KO, it in a breach of contact, and they are liable to a penalty of -10., per day. rho peualty, however, rniut be recovered within .six months. The second question put to me is, Whether the W;i. ter and Gas Company are liable for the toss by any clm- -flagi,ition, in a I)eeiiiii.,try point of view, when such loss occurs from lack of water ?" It is a leg^vl maxim, that '■ no man shall suffer by ano- 'thei in,,tii' nnligetice." In order to render the Com- pany liable, it will be necessary to prove negligence ou their part (it- their sorvintq. The whole tenor of the Act cfParIiauiMutprovMth.tt the law presumes the main pipes are at ail times charged with water. The 38 iec. empowers the Board of Health to fix fire plugs iu the Company's main pipes, at uo greater dutauce than 100 yards. The 39 sec. enacts, that the Water Compauy shall keep in repair such fire pings, and sliill deposit the key thereof in such places as the Board of Health shall di- rect; and the Company shall put up a public nntics in some conspicuous place in each street, showing the situa- tion of such fire plugs." If auy I)er-boti should sustain a loss by tire, from lack of water in the Company's pipes, I have no doubt but that the Company would have to compensate the per- son for such loss. I think you will agree with me that the Company are liable, in accordance with reaioti, of which law is said to be the perfection, and with common sense, on whieh the verdieti of English juries are said to be founded. I am, Sir, yours, &c. LEX.

LLANDUDNO. To the Editor of the North IfVea Chronit cle. Sir,—Permit me to call the attention of the authori- ties of tiiis place to the disgraceful scenes enacted here on Friday, the 17th instant, when a very large excursion from some of the manufacturing districts in England vi- sited the town for any person to venture on the car- riage road along the Parade was truly dangerous, the more so to invalids and children, as from the arrival of the excursionists to the' time of their departure, nothing was to be seen but pony racing, at a fearful speed aud the wonder in that some of thom were not injured, hav- ing no oontrol whatever over the animals; and ttie same thing occurs every time an excursion visits the place. It may naturally be tsked-wtiere were the police, and that lethargic and do-nothing functionary, the In- spector of Nuisances ? Surely, if such scenes are allowed to be carried on, we ought to receive notice of their coming, so that we may retreat to some of the neighbouring mountains for the day, and be in safety. Another nuisance to be complained of is, the state the ladies' bathing ground is kept in on this day, in particular, there were men on the beach, whilst the la. dies were bathing, staring at them. close to thosc hide. ous boxes, otherwise bathing machines; and how can it be expected that ladies will put up with snch a state of tilings as this ? Why nut have the ladies' bathingground ntaked <>ut, and an active and energetic person to look after the beach during bathing hours? The police are often from the town, and as it takes the whole of the Inspector of Nuisances' time to link after two scaveng- ei-m, lie of course ciiiiiot be Give my respect" to Witnderor," aiid tell him not to iniud the effusion of" No Humbug," as I have seen him play the part of injudicious friend" to Mr. Williams before this time and perhaps I shall have something to My about pigs, and the state of the workiug man's home, very soon, Yours. &c..

LLANDUDNO. A If BXTRAOKDINAKY MEETING. To the Editor of the North Wales Chronicle. 5jir,—Will you kindly permit the following to appear id the columns of your much esteemed journal :— It having come to the hearing of that class of domes- tics in this town—the pif/s -that Mr. Wanderer had to take up their cause, and held up their condition, and the treatment which they receive at the bauds of their inhuman owners, to the gaze of the public, the chief amongst them arranged by communicative grunts, which reached every stye in the town, to call a general mcetiug, to be heltl on Tu»Way morning, at two alU., -it the Rotunda, in Back Mostyn-street, for the purpose of considering Wanderer's" letter, and vindicating their ioliti,-ti and privilege as a people, in the grand economy of nature, before a scrutinizing public Accordingly, just as the clock of St George's tolled off' the specified hour, and while slaep was steeping the town- folks in forgetfulness, by extraordinary jumps and pushes, the bristled tribe broke forth and soon got to the rendezvous. Conspicuous among the 200," we noticed Hamocus, Oruntibus, Porkibos, Squeakibus, Curltailibus, Seignior ftuoutibus, Groanibus, John Brawnibua, Prof. Bristle, Dr. Gristle, Timon Tompar, Binkar Bakabus, Mr. Flim Flitch, Pip O'Pabo, and several other distinguished members of the fraternity. A most indescribable scene now ensued, mends greet- ed friends with most unnatural screeches, and many apoke of their last parting at Llansaintffraid fair, when, among the confusion of congratulations, an old bore," called Timon, hushed them over, lest they should awaken the night-watch, or the sleeping inmates near, and showed the importance of going to business at ouee. All stared, and concurred with him in a general grunt. Tkey were requested to sit, by resting their haunches upon brickbats, properly arranged in a circle for the oc- casion. TIMOV, for his gravity and long local experience, was voted to the centre, and SQUALIBUS, for the bril- liancy of his voice and general readiness, was made Se- cretary. The latter was asked to read the notice calling the meeting, together with Wanderer's letter, which he did very clearly. TIMON rose and was greeted, by fililt of better moans, 101 a volley of groans. Having placed his forefeet upon hail brickbat, he commenced by improving upon the meeting the responsibility which lay upon them of main- taining the dignity of their race from sinking into disre- pute in the scale of animated nature. (Strong hangh- ing). They were all aware of the methods carried on aud systematically practiced of late, by correspondents, commissioners, iuapectors, and surveyors, 110 less by a vitiated press, to disparage them as a community before the reading public, and their own species abroad. (Con- fusion and grunts.) He was soi-ry to observe, although he had uo intention of being personal, that external ap- pearances showed that their domiciles must be very bad and their feed very poor.—" To particularize, my friend Uroanibus, for ipstauce, same time ago, stood a perfect model, only now look his hip-bones stick out like hat- lwgd! (Great sensation with much groaning). In conclusion, in the face of calamities and disgrace of this nature, I can do nothing of myself, but I leave it to you. Perhaps somebody will propose steps to emancipate us from this state of things, and assert the nobleiiessof the pig in ticli an inglorious dilemma!! (Much liaugh- iug by way of applause). PORKIBUS, who is rather given to venerating, flapped his ears, stood forward, and cried up the transcendant genius of Wanderer with considerable warmth; con- cluding, that without doubt, he will do a large amount of good, after all for their species in the place. Pir, with deep grunting, admitted the cogent reason- ing of Porkibus, made no doubt of anything except the probability of a release from the disgrace they had gone into, obttervint;—" My keeper is a town commissioner, -there's the rub But, as far as my case goes, I have no dread in saying that he is responsible for bringing me iuto bad favour with the public." (Interrupted by Timon.) TIMON—Just so. Your case is mine precisely. Be- lieve me, my dear Pip, my sympathy can stretch any length with you. (" Same here," from some fifteen others.) SNOUTIBUS, (who is of an easy-going nature), after a pause, proceeded rather jocosely thus—I have no mis- firing about myself being the fellow that frightened the Mr. Richardson out of his sleep. I have frequcutlybeen old that I am well up in the accomplishment of snor- ing the fashionable world may then expect something be>ide a grunt from a pig-" (Much merriment, with horrid attempts to Slnilu). He never saw Mr. R. (Roars). And, if Mr. It. wanted to sleep, why didn't he snore himself "f (Young thunders of hanghing.) CUltLTAILIUUR, who i8 rather of a mathematical turn of mind, dilated upon the dimensions of his crib—was sure that he and another would jam it up' Introduced a series of statistics in proof of his different asservations. —He was listened to with marked attention through- out. Prof. BilliTLE-To mathematics followed science of common things. With much profundity, Prof. B. re- marked, that in the outer world it was a common saying —" A pig is but a pig." (Great sensation). But he could assure the outer world, upon the be-it authority, no less than his own that a pig was something besides. (Much flapping). He had n it attained that age which tilt-Y iniglit judge him of by the length of his bristles, without making the great moral discovery, thejii;) in JUJt fndy a public benrfactir, but also ti public avenger. THe less he is treated as the for ner, the more terrible he shows him -elf as the latter (Uproarious haughing).

IIAIIO,-U.'i,-who is n-.t',tir,-tlly scrupulous about bis linen, and at times poetical—stoo 1 up, and stated that he was much aggrieved to find that he is often the sub- ject of disgust in North Parade, although he had no- thing to remedy in the matter himself, The tricks prac- ticed with him were quiteaverseto his liking. The complaint, uo doubt was a very just one he agreed with everything said about it, to wit,—the practice, from economical motives of dryia my litter, for repeated use, up to a dozen times in the sun! No wonder that we are cllecl The oderiferous pigs." (Suppressed hangh- ing with great consternation). Hence the effluvia which is so iulsomely felt iu the palaces of health ill this part. Pip (rather eiir;irgerl)-Ifr. President and fellow swine The fact patent tu my mind is this,—that until our owners provide us with more eligible dwellings, awav, far away from th -so palaces of health," as friend Homocus very poetically terms them, as a people we shall be eternally vilified by the fashionable public—we shall be making their houses an accommodation of this kind: "Health for sale in front, and the quiuteseence of disease imported at the back." It will be our interest to get awav as quick as possible. (Great flapping with marks of approbation) J. BUAWNIBUS, for the sake of saving something, complained of the hardships of past times; however, the swills of winter were gradually changing, for shrimp and crabshells peapod and a stray lettuce satisfied him of the approach of better times; advised them to be moderate in their speeches, and expressed a dread and horror of becotniogtat, lest his head should be dished for "Wanderer." (Une.wthly merriment). Pi.ist, who is of a fierry temperament, nevertheless philosophical rather stentorionsly made no secret of the circumstances at home, and the anomalous position that his master held as a Commissioner of this town. (Much smirking). Concluded thus: Here we see a number of Gadarenes undertaking to brood over the- sanitary and moral interests of a moral town, when in, point of fact, nobody can be more suicidal (Groans of applause). Not only is the prosperity of the town at stake, as "Mr. Wanderer" justly says, but the honour of the brotherhood is brought, through them, face to face with public abhorrence; and for my part, I shall be ashamed of looking any man in the face, until the facta are pub- licly known, and wo are treated with better styes, or have arranged a complete exodus out of the place to the scenes of our youthful days. TIMON—Fellow-citizens! happy am I to find that the most perfect unanimity pervades all our discussions. I thank you one and all for the great amount of intelli- gence which you have brought to bear upon these ques- tions which so vitally concern our happiness. The late- ness of the hour compels me to dismiss the meeting. Yon may expect notices to asselubln again shortly, when I hope we may be prepared to embody our sentiments in the more tangible form of resolutions. Meanwhile Voll will give the matter your first and serious considera- tion and however much I could wish that the sense of this meeting were made public for the consideration of the moral world, I bid you eaeu anil every uoou Morning," hoping you will g" quietly back to bed. After which, they all scudded in different ways. Having poised myself iip,)ii i moonbeam, and having heard all from the beginning, Ifr. I-,(Iitoi-, Nvitli yocir kind permission, will you allow the public to judge of the sound philosophy of these pigs in comparison with t.h..t nf our fiadareau Commissioners. 1'-1t< AIUEL. ARIEL.

THE CARNARVONSHIRE RIFLE VOLUNTEERS. To the Editor of the North Wales Chronicle. Sir,-In the pages of your contemporary of Saturday last there appeared a letter signed by one Anti-Sham," on the subject of the Rifle Volunteers, which, taken al- together, is about one of the most impudent and esira- ordinary productions which I have met with for some time past. Will you permit. me to make a few remarks on the subject in reply, as falsehood and nonsense when uttered in a solemn tone will pass current for truth and sense sometimes amongst those who are not in the habit of thinking for themselves. Personally, I am not interested in the condition of the Carnarvon Company but I should be sorry were anything to occur to break it up, because it is one ii:o;in the great volunteer cliain -one Hide member of n great family. As it is, Wales is sadly behind both England ,tiill Scotland in the Volunteer Movement, and much to the regret of some mf its best friends It would, there- fore, be a subject of regret, if even one company should be blotted out of the present very sparse list. This perverse writer does not confine his strictures to the Carnarvon Rifles," but he cooly asperses the entire body, and falsely and impertinently so. He stigmatizes the movement and its promoters as great "Shams and professes to understand their real motives. To be sure L .co .I. L- 1. he does not say what their motives are out oi tutsuc is sure that they are not based upon patriotism or loy- alty. By what magical agency he made this remarkable discovery he leaves us all in ignorance, but contines him self to making the assertion. Does not this look very self to making tile think yoii, Sir like Sham Abraham," think yon, sir ? Well, just for a moment let us enquire how this mat- ter stands. Some four or five years ago our relations with France were not very cordial. The Emperor was more sullen and enigmatical than ever; he possessed a large and idle standing army he was known to be bold and unscrupulous. The Press was railing against Eng- land and the English, and the French army was conti- nually threatening us with invasion. At that time we could not have mustered, at home, more than 20,(KK) re- gular soldiers to have repelled an invasion had one been attempted, and the nation resolved to put itself, with the periiii,isiou-of the Government in a state of defence, and the Volunteer Movement was at once originated. That was about four years ago, and now we have as fine a de- fensive force (for the Volunteers are strictly a defensive body) as the world ever saw, numbering about'160,000 men of all arms. The result has been—greater security at home, greater respect abroad, and a complete release from those disgraceful panics which formerly prevailed, and which made us the jest and the laughing stock of Europe and the world. What right—what grounds has this whining cur, then, to assume, nay to positively state, that-the Volunteers, who go to such trouble and expense in order to be in readiness to defend even hit worthless person, if need be, are not actuated by patrio- tic motives ? Put upon him, and all of the same kidney, Bav I "Hut he carries his pharasaical spleen further than this, and has the shameless effrontery to assert that the Vol- unteer Movement has a demoralizing" tendency. How and in what way has it this effect ? If healthy exercise in the open air,—if the practice and patience of selfdenial, and subordination, ue immoral, then he is right; if they be not so, then he is a shameless libeler. Why of my own personal knowledge I can say that a Volun- I teer Company when properly conducted, keeps young men out of public houses, creates a feeling of brotherly love and healty emulation brings men of all classes to- gether whootherwisewould nevermeet ou equal grounds; and in many other ways does a great deal of good. Why, what a frosty-faced rogue is this, to make such aground- less, such an unwarrantable assertion, that the Volun- teers are a demoralized body of men. Does he think that there are no other duties attached to men hut to groan and sing hymns in conventicles ? "'Zounds, an I could brain him with his lady's fan." This, however, is not all, for his precious third car- dinal poinf" as lie sententiously terms it, is more extra- ordinary still, and strongly reminds one of the ravings of a Bedlamite. He has discovered that muscular exer- cise is injurious to hca)th—save the mark! and thc?vfore would do away with it altogether. The ntter absurdity of such a dogma is so great as to defy contradiction for it is, not only not true, but as is well known to even idiot8, it is the very converse of truth. Muscular exer- cise is the very thing of aU others which promotes liwjth, and without it, good health is absolutely impos- sible. Are blaoksmiths unhealthy, as a class ? Do the navvies, who do the work of horses, very often troiible the doctor ? What is the cause that Gymnas- iums are now being attached to every public school—is it not to promote health by muscular developement ? Why Nature herself speaks against the crude notions of this paddling and pedantic moralist—this Sham Abra- ham"of man! Does he not know why children are ever restless, like birds on the wing—why they are fojid of playing, and in doing so often work harder than a day labourr in harvest time ? Is it not an instinct given bv Nature in order to develops its muscular sys- tem, aud to make the child grow up to be a strong and healthy mlln ? "Elaborating national workmen," indeed Why, this Sham scribbler must be some "pate abortion" himself, and like Don Juan, must have unsexed himscif and substituted petticoatsfor pantaloons. He would make a very pretty defender of his home and country-he would. Now, I will tell you, Sir, what the Volunteer Move- ment has done to many young men in the Company with which I am personally connected. Some three years ago several clerks—banker's and lawyers—and shopmen joined the corps, and their muscular develope- ment wae so feeble and weak that they could scarcely keep the rifle steady to their Blioulders with both their hands; and now they can hold it there for a long time, and with perfect ease and comfort to themselves. Now this is a fact beyond a tliiestioti; and on Saturday last I saw many of these young men laughing and jeeering at the monstrous rubbish of this silly and foolish man, who they said must have been demented oetore ne would write such stuff. Had he been present at the time I verily believe it would have cured even his love of bcrihbling. His fourth and last "cardinal point" is, he tells us, political, and is equally as erroneous, and almost- M foolish, as the preceding three. The Sovereign did not require the nation to organize the Volunteer Move- ment-the Queen merely sanctioned its formation, aud very proud indeed she is of it, as well she may be, for it ia a spectacle of mutual triistitid reliance between the ruler i anll the ruled, which the world never witnessed before, in any age or nation. As all the world knows, except this in,nno man, the services of the Volunteers can only be called for, in the' case of actual invasion by a Foreign enemy; and therefore, if the Queen wanted to exterminate her Iri?h Catholic subjects, she would have to emp?v aome other fM'ce to carry out her intentions. There wonld be a Volunteer force in Ireland itself, only that the Irish are unlike all other pe"ple in 80me thing*, and it is felt not prudent to put a razor in the hands of a ai ]I(! would be Just %,3 lilcvly to cut big own thr.Mt as the throat of his neighbour. Such state- ments are the veriest bosh, and are as "leather al.1 prunella," as Pope has it. I have now done, and I must apologize for taking up so much of your space in rep-lying to the monstrous assumptions and assertions of tins Sham Censor. It is str;tnge-I)cwiiii., ,itr;tiige tli,,tt a ni,,iii could be fokiii(I iii this couutry, to sit down and deliberately pen such an epistle but it is cqllally as strange that the. conductor of a respectable journal should have allowed it to defi-le its columns, when he himself mtAR; have known that there was not a word of truth—not even a graiu-in the entire production.

YANKEE KIDNAPPING AND WELSH VICTIMS. To thr Editor of the North TVales CTtronicle, Sir.—In your impression of last week you have a Leader treating on the above subject, in which yon as- sert that all emigrants of the working classes, when they find themselves landed in the Federal States of America, are in the power of the Yankee authorities, and that they will be powerless to resist the intimidation- which will be brought to bear upon them. The object of your article, no doubt, is to intimidate quarrvmen from emigrating to the States, and to keep them 'together in their present employment. But to prove to you and the quarrymen, and all others- whom it may concern, that such assertions are entirely false, I send these facts I have before me a certificate of non-liability, to be given by the Board of Enrolment to all persons who have not sworn allegiance to the Government of the (jiiited States. This certificate is given to all such personsHvhen a draft is made in any State where such persons irevy be residing, on examination before the above Board and no British, 01 any other foreign subject, is compelled to take the above oath unless he wishes to do so; or any coercive measure whatever used to gain such object. The following is a correct copy of the certificate I voiiv 31. Certificate of Non-lialitity to be given by the Board of Enrolment.

The same person is now in Beaumaris, having come from Bristol to see his friends, where his ship, (of which he is chief mate) now lies, to which he will return in the course of the week, to sail again for the-Stateg.

SERVICE OF PLATE; FOR AN INDIAN MAGNET. Many of our readens* doubtless, read with pleasure, in the Daily Post, a statement that the Hon. Rustomjee Jamsetjee Jej eebhoy,. member of the Legislaiive Council of Bombay, aud son of the late Sir Jamaatoro Jejeebhoy, had handed over £ I5>000 for distribution amongst the charitable institutions of London. Those who did so will be still further pleased to hear that he has patro- nised Birmingham manufactures in a most munificent manner. We had the pleasure of inspecting, at the manufactory of Messrs. Elkington and Co., a most mag- nificent service of plate, which has been made specialy for him. Eastern magnates have, from. time immemo- rial, been noted for their extravagant love of luxuries, and their disregard for the money which purchases them, but the present instance is an almost unparalleled one. The service is in solid silver of fine workmanship, and will cost upwards of C 7,000. it comprises twelve dozen spoons and forks of all sizes, six cruet frames, eight candelabra, one large centre piece, twenty-four candlesticks, twelve inches in height, thirty-two dish- covers, and smaller articles en suite, twelve dozen of each. Unlike manufactures intended for eastern coun- tries, and to suit oriental taste, the style of the articles is strictly classically plain and massive, and there is not a bit of chasing upon any one of the pieces. Upon each of the silver articles, the coat of arms of the hon. gentle- man has been very beautifully engraved, as also upon the glass shades of the candlesticks and candelabra, whilst the handles of the dishcovers are formed of large peaoocks (the crest of the Hon. Rustomjee Jamsetjee Jejeebhoy) beautifully made in solid silver. Altogether the service is one of the richest, and at the same time, the plainest and most massive we have yet seen. When we were at Messrs. Elkington's works, the goods were about to be packed up for transmission to Bombay, and waiting to receive them stood two large iron-bound chests (for the larger articles) and two caskets with folding doors (for the smaller ones). These in them- selves are worthy of note. They are most substantially made of English oak, brightly polished, lined internally with green cloth. This service will serve to show in the remote part of the world to which it is going to what a high pitch of artistic and mechanical excellence Eng- lish manufacture has i-isen.-Birmirigham D(tily Post.

I RUTHIN. REVIEW OF THE DENBIGHSIIIRE YEOMAN. RY CAVALRY. The above regiment was reviewed on Friday morning, the 17th instant, at the Castle Park, by Col. Williams, of the 3rd Hussars, accompanied by Lieut. Maude, or- derly-officer. The weather was delightful, and the number of spec- tators far exceeded that on the previous day at the Sham-fight, whioh we reported in our last. Thia may be accounted for from the fact that sufficient publicity had not been given to the dharn-fight. The troops appeared on the field shortly after 10 a.m., and precisely at 11 a.m. the inspecting officer arrived. He was saluted in the usual way, the band at the same time playing a popular and lively air. The Inspecting-officer having taken up his position by a flag-staff on the western side of the Park, Col. Totten- ham. with Corporal Gee, of Whitchurch, acting as his orderly, commenced putting the troops through the fol- lowing manosuvres :— Marching Past.—March past by squadrons; rank past by single files; trot past by troops; left wheel into line. Sword Exercise.—From the right of threes to the front file; right prove distance, slope swords sword exercise; pursuing practice front form ranks. Miss Tottenham, eldest daughter of Colonel Totten- ham, presented the Regimental Prize for sword exercise fa silver cup], to the winner, Corp. Bethel], on Friday, 17th iust., saying that she had much pleasure in being asked to do so—congratulating him oil his success, and wishing him further success in his future endeavours to perfect himself in military kuowied:e. She added that she was sure he would return home with great pride, hearing the proof of his having been declared the best swordsman of those who had competed. Pield Movements.— Advance in column of troops from the right left wheel into line line advance troops loft wheel; form line to the rear on the leading troop; line advance; retire in column of troops from the left form line to the left about on the leading troop; line advance; close column on the second squadron right in front; co- lumn retire and halt, front deploy on the second sqna- dron line advance inverted fine to the rear by the wheel about of troops; line advance; front reversed by the wheel about of troops; line advance by threes po- sition changed left back troops left wheel direction changed to the right; line formedto the right on the new alignment. Dismounted Services.—The 3rd and 4th squadrons re- main mounted to protect the horses the 1st and 2nd nquadrons with cat bines prepare to dismount; dismount, front form; advance 1st squadron, extend to skirmish commence firing, supported by 4th squadron retire form on the support; about and file to horses mount. Field M.n-emrat?

At the close of the' review, Col. WII,LtklfS, in *i(ire-giijg the regiment, shall have great pleasure in making a very favourable roport of yon to the Horae Guards. You work very well and Fite,,t(lily --veit iiiirch so, considering the short drill you have had. i am ranch pleased in witnessing so much uniformity amongst you in dress and saddlery, and I only wish there Wag more uniformity in your horses, but that deficiency, 1* (fare say, will be reuvcrfied on a. futnrr occasion. CoT. TOTTENHAM then said —I am very glad to hear that the Inspecting-officer has been so good as to nmke a most favourable observation- as to your performance at drill to-day. It ir, (iiilv by great attention that you could get to anything like'a comparative state of effici- ency during the short period you llavo, been under drill. With regard to the horses, I should also wish to see them more uniform but if any officer who had seen the regiirc4it eight years ago could see it at present, he could not fail to see a most marked improvement not only in horses but also in the class of young men who have since j'oined the regiment. No regiment can be perfect, and' of courde we are no exception to the rule. However, I trust we shall go on improving. The regi. ment, I am happy to add, has behaved itself admirably during the time it has remained in Ruthin,—no com- plaints whatever have been brought to me respecting the conduct of any of the men. I hope you will conti- nue to shew the same good conduct not only whilst you are here, but IIIso on your march home. I hope to see you all together, improved in every respect, about this time next year at Llangollen. Three hearty cheers were then given for the gallant Colonel, and also for the Inspecting Officer. The troops afterwards left the field. THE RACES. Towards 3 p,in. hundreds of people of every class wended their way to the Park to witness the Yeomanry Cavalry Races,, which took place under the patronage of Colonel Totetnham and the oiffcers of the regiment. Carriages, containing fashionable spectators, thickly co- vered the Park, and we feel assured there could not have been less than two thousand five hundred persons present.

GRAND ENTERTAINMENT TO THE RUTHIN VOLUNTEERS. In our publication of the 11th iust., we reported the Celebration of the return .5f Major Thelwall, C.I! from India, and this week we have the pleasure of recording a "rand dinner given by the gallant Major to the Ruthin Volunteer Corps, at the Wyimstay Arms Hotel, on TuewJay last. At half-past 5 p.m., the corp*. numbering ab, out ,oO, assembled in the Square in full dress,, under the com- mand of Ensign Adams aud Quartermaster Bancroft. Towards' six o'clock, Major Thelwall, in full uniform, I in front of the corps, who i>rtwCTited arms, and were then put through the manual exercises by hnsign Adansi-. '1 L-l1 .1:Hr1 At the close of the exercises, Major ineiwai. from his carriage, and addressed the Company in very eulogistic terms. wliere At 7 o'clock, the- Company m*fc at the- Hotel, where they sat down to a delicious repast, prepare) iu the best and most expensive style by Mr. and Mrs. Robots, the worthy host and hostess. '1 he tables were loaded with all the delicacies of the season, and an uuliuwiea supply of winefa was provided) to- all the guests. In fact, no- thin" was wauting to make the entertainment such a one as was worthy of a- hero's gift, and as would atlord hearty aud full enjoyment to those so liberal?? enter- tained. Besides the VoEiroteeis, about twenty other friends were invited to the-dinner. The gallant Major took his seat at the head r.t the tables, aud his noble face and cheerful c(luutumfice seemed to inspire a feeling of homeliness in evejry huart around him. He was supported on his right by Major Rowley, Llanbedr Hall; Wi». Lloyd, Ksq.; and IMV. Lewis T. Lewis; ,tud on his left by F A. Jesse, lv.-q.; W. C. Kewcouie, Esq.; and John Uenman, Ksq. The vice-chaw was ably filled by Errsign Adams. The rot. was tastefully decorated for tlw occasion, and at oiw end we n<«iced the words Honour the brave," neatly- wrought with evergreens. I The cloths !tN,iiig reinovf,,i,. The gallant M.uolt proposed the health of our Gracious Majesty Lile Queen," "the-Prince and Princess of Wales, and clie rest of the royal faoiiiy." In mentioning the last tuiist zi voict, t!xel;tirne,l three cheersforUemnark." The MAJOR wished the company in the midst of their mirth to cause as-little uproar as they yoeeiMy could, as he was informed a young lady was onher deathbed ill the house. Three cheers, however, h-vsoid, would be supposed to be given- to Denmark. (Hear, hear.) The M.v Jolt next p*i)po»ed "the health of Capt. West, Lieut. Johnson, Ensign Adams, the nonKiomniissioned officers, and all his brother soldiers in ;tr-.ao in the Ru- thin Volunteer Corps." He had had tho- pleasure of seeing tile-corps on parade that day, and he-could gladly testify to their soldier-like and martial appearance, and the precision with which they executed their mnnnjuvres. Their conduct was very steady, and their eiiiciency re- flected credit 011 themseWes aud their officers. It was evident they had been well discipline 1, and gt",1 di,ei. pline was the secret of success with large and small bodies of soldiers. An undisciplined regiment was no- thing better than an armed rabble of men. (Hear, hear.) Therefore, it was essential his volunteer friend s in Ruthin should study the importance of obeying the orders of their ollieers. (Bear, hear.) The Volunteer •movement, he said, was a gtezit ati,l noble institution- an. itMtitution which was cherished by every true Briton who had the honour of our b»loved Queen and the Af,ty of his country at heart. (Cheers.) lti were in- numerable it had rendered old England impregnable against foreign powers. This country with its beautiful groves and fine woods, and nther natural strongholds, could be defended against the attacks of any power in the world and lined in every point with 30,000 brave Volunteers, in addition to our heroic standing army, what could an invading army do here, Why, if it should-1 >y any means effect a landing in old England,, it wovddi be utterly annihilated in a very short time. The Volunteer movement, he would again say, was a noble. institution; it had done good to the community in general—to the great and to the lowly, equally. Had it not been established, what should we have done at tliis time, when political affairs were in such an unpleasant state ? We should be obliged to increase our standing army, and, as a natural conscience, to increase our taxation. (Hear, hear.) Foreigners, he continued, have said that we are a nation of shopkeepers. Let it be so. Oun Volunteers can mind their shops and handle their arms-as well; and I think old England would be a had shop for foreigners to come to; and I am sure they woutd not be admitted except oa. business. (Cheers and laughter.) Ensign ADAMS acknowledged the toast in an eloquent speech. It was a matter of grtnt gratification to him and his brother Volunteers to have the honour and pleasure of meeting the Major that evening. He also begged to say that he had been desired to convey to hihrthe extreme regret felt by. Captain West at not- being able to be present at the dinner. He (Mr. Adams) fully agreed with all the observations of the Major re- garding the Volunteer movement, and lie totally dis^ agreed' with what was urged against it in a letter which appeared in the Carnarvon li -,fild of last Saturday, signed "Anti-Sham." He stated that the Volunteer force was a sham—that it deprived its members of great physical strength—and, moreover, that it was immorsJ, inasmuch as we pledge oursel ves to defend the rights of our Quet-tt and country. Those-were the sentiments of Anti-Sham;" and in his opinion a greater humbug never put a pen on paper, anil: no man ever better de- served to be kicked from one end of Wales to the other than this "Anti-Sham," be he whoever he might. (Laughter and applause.) It might be said that these were observations made to their own pmise; but he begged to say they were not so. He did not mean, to assert that they were in a position to cope with Her Majesty's line; but he would say that the Volunteer system, had had the admirable etl'ect of bringing every man, of every grade of society, shoulder to shoulder, and to destroy the line of distinction that once existed, be- tween the wealthy, the shopkeeper, and the artisan. (Applause.) They knew aifd respected each other more. The least they could do, he-thought, in consideration 3f the public support they had always received, was to shew they could be blended together without falling into that disorder and demoralization spoken of by "Anti- Sham. They were eminently men of peace;, peaceable in their habits—sober and good in their coniiuot. (Hear, hear.) In conclusion, be again tendered the thanks of the Ruthin Volunteers to the Major, in the first phc"- for having inspected them that day, and in the second place—for having, after many years of glorious service Wl India, shewn his appreciation of their bumble services by inviting them that evening to dinner. (Applause.) Mr. ADAMS, after resuming his seat to: a few minutes, again rose, and begged to be allowed to propose a toast which required but a very few words, to introduce it. It was usual when, the toast was of an ordinary character to gradually approach it with lengthy observations; but on that occasion, he should be wasting time if he said more than merely propose "the health and happiness of Major Thelwall." (Cheers.) H.might, have ifit had been necessary, commenced with the beginning of the Major's career, more than IS years ago, when he had the pleasure of shooting rabbits with him and Bob the pigeons" (laughter): but lie (the Major) bore on his breast that which spoke louder in his favour than any language lie could utter. He had had honours con- ferred on him by his Queen, snd he (Mr. Adams) felt glad those honours were worthily borne to Wales by a Welsh gentleman and a Welsh hero. (Clieers ) They could not convey to him their respect in stronger lan- guage than by saying his return to our country was a glorious event to ilietii-lie was here seen crowned with honours by his Queen, and rejoiced upon by his fellow- countrymen and he (Mr. Adams) hoped this was the commencement of a loug series of years for him to re- side in the neigh bOlUhooJ of Ruthin, and further trusted that the Volunteers should be honoured by his superintendance. (Applause.) He regretted they could not give utterance to the spontaneous cheers of their hearts in a manner that the hills they saw might re- echo them from that room, Hut under the circum- stances, they would give him silent musical honours. (Applause.) Major THET.TVAM, begged to thank the company most sincerely for the kind and noble manner in which they had drank his good health. It was pleasant to his feelings, after a long absence from home, to be welcomed by his old friends and brother-aoldiers. He thanked thfm very much for their hearty welcome. [The Major was now evidently labouring under deep emotion, and he FaT, down amidst great cheering.] Major ROWI.KV proposed the Bishop and Clergy of the Diocese," coupling with the toast the name of "the Rev. Mr. Lewis, of Llanbedr," who suitably responded. Major TUELW ALL next give the Arliiy, Navy, and Militia," and associated with the toast the name of Major Rowley," who, he understood, kd only lately come amongst them he wished him every success, and no doubt he should be loved and liked as he deserved to. be liked by them all. (Cheers.) Majr ROWLEY thanked Major Thelwall and the oona- pany for the honoiw they had dooe him in coupling his name with the maj, navy, and wMw. It Wi" some years ince he W left W. arm; tart he OJuld itiU: say, from the knowledge he had of them, that they would so always do their duty. They had a noble example of what the army was in the person of their gallant friend, Major Thelwall. (Cheers.) He saw on the wall before him the words 11 Honour the brave it was right, he thought, that they should honour the brave. Major Thelwall had proved himself to be a brave soldier, (hear, hear), as testified the fact that be bore medals of bravery oil his breast, one of which was a medal of the Indian mutiny. The present Viceroy of India, Sir John Lawrence, -a man of inestimable qualities, and whose presence there had spread lustre all over the country- commissioned Major Thelwall to raise and organize a regiment of natives at the time of the mutiny, which he did—and to his praise be it said, he succeeded in raising a regiment 1200 strong, whom, he believed, he com- manded at the siege of Delhi, (Applause ) Her Majesty had appreciated his distinguished services, and had con- ferred honours upon him, which he would not have had, depend upon it, if he had not really deserved them. [Cheers.] It was right, he repeated, to honour the brave, aud to honour a representative of an old family, who had resided amongst them for hundreds of years— and whose venerable father was at the present moment doing his duty as the spiritual pastor of the Church in an adjoining parish. (Cheers.) Mr. Adams had allnded to the Volunteer movement, or rather to the letter of Anti-Sham," which depreciated its usefulness. He had not seen the letter, because he never looked at the Carnarvon Herald; but frati what they heard from Mr. Adams, he could only say that "Anti-Sham was a hnmbng "nd a sham in himself. (Laughter and cheers.) If they would take his advice (or that of any "Id soldier) he would say—Do not leave off the Volunteer system. ( Hear, hear.) It was the best thing introduced into England for a long time, as it had I'en the means of bringing the rich and the pclor wan to- meet each other with tkvt feeling which, perhaps, wau never known be- fore. 4 Hear, hear.) Itwonid abo be- the means of re- leasing the regular army, in cases at necessity. The army might now be sent anywhere on service, and our Queen could rely on the safety of tho country because she had the hearts of her subjects in her favour. (Cheers.) The people of Eiiglitiid w-ere rsady to fight for their Queen, and it could not be said that the people of foreign countries would fight for their sovereigns. (Hear, hear.) Thanks be to God, he said, thrct we knew not in thCile times what revolutions were in this country. Referring to the Militia, he said lie did belong to them, jnd he had only just returned from duty. The regi- ment to whioh he-belonged mu -iered 5110 men, and it was wonderful t", think what a regiment of Militia could do in 21 days. If they followed tho example of the Volunteers in their spirit of loyalty, and tried to copy the line as far was practicable, they could beof iin. mense service to the country in time of need, and es- I)eci-,tlly at the present time if our country should be nailed upon to fight against Germany (Applause.) Mr. ABLETT JESSE proposed the health of the Rev. Edward Thelwall," tko respected father of Major Thel- wall. (Cheers ) The MAJOR returned thanks on hehalf of his father. He enly wished he had been praent himself, as he ccuid have t'hauked the eompfjny in a far more, eloquent strain than it was in his power to do. Song by Mr. DKNMAN. Major TIIKLWALL then proposed "success to the town and trade of Ruthin," and coupled with the toast the name of Dr. Jenkins." li(z) lj,,Io,d the t,vn woul(t flourish, and that the new Town-h-ll in course of eree- tion would prove beneficial to its interests. Huthin no doubt was flourishing, and now tho railways were being opened in every direction the dittanee from there to the metropolis would be shortened, whieh was a great con- sideration in connection with country towns. ( Hear, hear.) The place presented quite a new feature since he left it 18 years ago it had improved in every respect. He wished it well and all in it. iclieers.) Dr. JKNKIJJS briefly responded, and proposed "the health of Mr. Newcome," a gentbman who had always resided in the neighbourhood of Rstthin, and highly es- teemed by all; but, he was sorry to say, he was now on the puint of Iwiug the town. He wished to induce him to make up his mind to remain amongst them. (Ap- plause.) Air. XKWCOMB acknowledged the toast in grateful terms, and added that he did not think of leaving Ru- thin for a twelvemonth at least, (\I conclusion, he begged to propose tho health of Mrs. Thelwall, the partner in life of our gallant Major." and the health of Mrs. Goodrich t:d Miss Thehvall, his sisters." Mrs. Thelwall was a stranger to them all, h"t he felt assured she would be esteemed by them when she arrived in this part of the country in the same manner as her hus- baud was esteemed by all who knew him. (Cheers.) Major THF.I.WAOI. responded. Mrs. Thelwall, he said, was most anxious to accompauy him to his old home, to meet and become acquainted with the friends of her husband's childhood, and the friends < f his family for centuries gone by, but the illness of his little son had prevented her doing so. He thanked them all for (ii-iiikiiig her health and that of his sisters. Cheers. ) Song by Mr CiiKEN. Major THKLWACVI afterwards begged to propose the health of a noble-hearted gentleman, and one of the best sportsmen that ever put his leg over a pig-skin. He al- luded, of course, to \Ir. Denman--and he called upon the company to drink his good health—" long may he keep it." Mr. Denman had, by his ability and energy, done a deal for the- county of Denbigh by the diminu- tion and suppression of crime since he had taken the helm as Chief Constable,—he had most skilfully handled it. (Cheers.) If(. -,vu the right man in the right place," as he was when he was master of the hounds. (Laughter and cheare.) Mr. DENMAJJ pithily responded. Dr. JENKINS proposed the health of the Committee who had superintended the festivities in celebration of the return of Major Thelwall." His friends in Ruthin were proud of being led by them in tne movement. (Cheers. Mr WM. LLOYD, as a member of the Committee, re- turned thanks. Several other toastw were drank, and the evening was most merrily and harmoniously spent. BOARD' OF GUAIIDIAXS. The fortnightly meeting of the Guardians of the Ru- thin Union was hetd on Monday last. Present—James Maurice, Esq., chairman Rev. David Roberts, IJan- dvrnog J. J. Bancroft, Esq Joseph Peers, Esq., Rev. John Griffith, Llanynys Rev. John Clement Davies, Messrs. David Oweas, Aberwheeler; John Jones, Clo- caenog; John Lloyd, Efeneehtvd Robt. Parry, Llan- armon; Thomas Jones, Llanelidan John Jones, Oak- lands; Hugh Hughes, Llanfwrog; Rd. Lloyd, Llangan- hafal; John Williams Lloyd, Llanrhaiadr; E. Davies, Llanymynog; and J. Davies, Llainwen. The Paupers' Christmas Dinner.—A communication was read from the Poor Law Board enclosing the rea- sons of the District Auditor why he had surcharged the Bum of £5 against Mr. Anwyl. master of the workhouse, for over-expenditure in providing the last Christmas din- ner to the inmates. The sum of £ .5, it appears, is allowed annually for a Christmas cheer to the inmates, and the law does not extend power to the Guardians to allow a larger sum. X5 has invariably been found too small a sum, and the Guardians had authorised the Master to use the meat of the ordinary dinner to make up the deficiency. The Auditor objected to this arrangement, but the Guardians still think they were justified in adopting it. Another objection raised by tLe Auditor was-that the Master had not made an entry of the above arrange- ment in his book. The Master, in reply to this, said he did not know that he was required to enter it. The last was the fifth Christmas dinner he had provided for the inmates, and he was never before told that such an entry WIllI necessary. The Guardians exonerated the Master. A Worthless Father.—Thomas Evans, of Llanelidan, a keen-looking fellow, was called before the Board, and questioned as to why he did not contribute towards the maintenance of his child, who is at present in the Work- house. He said he was an earthenware hawker, and that he sometimes did not earn more than about half-a-crown a week. The Chairman said that his trade was a paymg con- cern, and he ought to realize a much greater profit than 2s. fid. a week. Evans—My feet are very bad, Sir, and I can't walk much. Mr. Isaac Williams, relieving officer—He makes from 18s. to 20s. a week, Sir. He has been saying to some of the parishioners that he did not know how the Guardians allowed his child to remain so long in the Workhouse. Evans-You are not telling the truth, Sir. The Guardians ordered him to pay 3s. a week towards the maintenance of the child. An Object of Pity.—Robert Rogers, miner, of Llan- degla, a man of about 3o years of age, and having two children, applied for out-door relief. The poor man waq Buffering from inflairftnatiou of the lungs, and had been disabled from following his calling for many months: The Guardians thought he was worthy of their commiseration, and they, therefore, allowed him 81. a week.
