WORTH WALES TEMPERANCE I ASSOCIATION. The annual meeting in connection with the above M»nati<m took place on Tuesday and Wednesday last at Bangor, when a considerable number of members and file friends of temperance, from various parts of Wales, wet-L- present. TUESDAY, I At It) a.m. and 3 p.m., a meeting of delegates was I tttH at the Iletirhva Hall, W. Pierce, Esq., Wrexham, inthi)olt!xir o' the state awl (if tern- ptrsnce ocietie. from ijeveral districts in X orth ales were received, and various suggestions made, which ■•ere discuss .■ (1, sometimes, with uiuoll warmth of spirit, uv'icitive of the zeal and earnestness with which the ■members entered into the cjuesti 111 A want of perfect wyini^itiofi, ami a greater am unit of union among the societiew was pointed to as one great defect in connection with the inoyeineiit; but no definite resolution was ur- nrod at this day. A PfiPLIC MEETING "811 held, in the evening, at the TYiirhyn Hall, presided mar by Abel Sirnner, E-sijof London. Among those m the platform, and in the ody of the hall, we roticcd W. Bulkeley.

The CHMKMAN regretted that some one more capable than himself had not been called upon to occupy the ".t.ai,. that evening; but one more sincere in the cause temperance they could not have chosen. He had hnm a teetotaller for 2S years, during which tittio he wither smoked nor snuffed, which he c insiilered very <H<w»!y allied to the drinking practices of this country. f HP.V, hoar, I Childien were now seen with short pipes ia their mouths, thinking it manly and honourable, verog that their fathers, their ministers, and their dea- root* did the same, and en leavoured to f illo.v the foot- A" of their leaders. This shewwl how important it that they should lead a life of holiness and useful- wfts, and deny themselves everything that debased and dlegradcd humanity. [A oplause. | Rev J. ORIKHTH, of Neath, addressed the meeting in Welsh, and after an allusion to the previous even- inga lecture, observed that total abstinence was either good or bad—reasonable or unreasonable. lIe railed upon them carefully to examine which it was that was based upon the prineiples of truth and tnorili- ir, and whether it WM the drinking habits of the people pc their total abstinence from intoxicating beverages &-A contributed most to their happiness and welfare in this world. Was it the publit house tippler or the tee- totaller that made the best memher of zi,,ciety Some jwoprte seemed to think, and often insinuated, that he jfwrered himself by his connection with the temperance Movement— that it was degrading and unbecoming of hM order to attach himself to those who waited war against the cnmmnu enemy of mankind—drunkenness, But he thought if he desired to he free from the bio id of those nrIlone: whom he laboured, it was his imperative ittl,v, ti a minister of (Ihriit, to join the nootL* army that was engaged in comba'ing this monster evil whose irithoring influences blighted the best exertions of Ohristian philanthropists [Cheers.] The rev. gentleman here related It touching incident in the life of a talented bnt a ruined character, whom he met in the depth of t at Neath, upon the point of committing suicide — I bow he succeded in etting him to sign the pledge, who »Ster\T>rds became a useful minister of the gospel in Lnodon. He concluded with an eloquent appeal to the Iffiends of temnerance to unite all their energies together in a cause which their own reason and consciences testi- fied witi4 the work of G .d. [Applause.] Or. F. It IJKKS with that political indica- tor, the Times, which, however, struck ten minute* too jjite —thatteetotalUm was not yet a popular question; tat it was only a matter of time before it would come to he sn, and a lready it had done great things. The iaetotalerawere pointed out as maniacs or f inatiea.nnd vet afceir principles had penetrated the halls of the legislature .nith must he very Htronsf indeed before it could get a Md upon the head and heart of this nation; and it waft a)way* despised in the beginning. The principles of Ma) abstinence were written in was fried. and it could not I.e found there-were written in am, in their social institutions, and in Scripture. Tee- totolfem was good for his body and for his mind—Rood Inv him socially and morally. They could not injure tta body without injuring the soul. Many said their prinfiplcB were unsound, and remarked that they pro- everted upon the same ground as if they wanted to cure •Mi ony by not eating at all. Those who said so forgot Skit there existed no connection between the on(k and ita other. The more they ate the more satisfied they were; but the more they drank the more was their de- life for drink. Drink altered man's feelings, whilst na- fato and man's own vitality eliminated it from the sys- tem. The same might be said of opium, snuff, and to- bacco. Thii evil must be put down The time, most •Muuredly, would come when the true of social truth would triumph, despite every obstacle which man's ingenuity could devise. (Cheers.) It was a philosophi- cal axiom that in order to remove the effect they must remove the cause. They only knew the causes except m their consequences. It would not do to preach tee- Maliam it must be practised. They must, like Crom- •eJTs advice to his soldiers,—"Pray, hut keep the powder tf.- God will bless the means adapted to the end. 'ttfy.!h"u)f]comeontmanfuny,and not compromise their ^eircciples upon the hustings. He would never vote for A man who tiftef) up his voice or gave hia vote in Partia- ment* in favour of Acts to make drunkards. He wanted kindle the same ifre in Walos that he saw burning ten years ago—he would raise the battle cry a(5«nst false notions about drink and the traffic in strong drink. Crime and everything that was bad was genera- tor by the licensing system. Let them not delegate to ethers, therefore, the power of increasing crime, poverty, and depredation in the land. Then, and not till then will the country become prosperous and the people happy— tilt- anù then, only "houlrl the working man be entrusted with the frauchise, because theu they will be in a posi- tfitu rightli, to exercise the power confided to them. tLlou,1 applause.] Rev A. J. PAURY, Cefnmawr, said that the first con- _ti, of a safe moral remedy was to abstain from that vliifU caused the disease That condition was based «rpoa reason and Scripture The only real panacea for tatnkeness was that which reclaimed the drunkard and safely protected the sober from becoming a drunk- m* The teetotal remedy was infillible--thero was no 4»ngcr that atotal abstainer, whusthecontinued so, wouM M a proy to this vice. The speaker next dwelt upon the- dutyof self-denial. and impressed upon the audience 6IIIt those who lived upon society should live also for jwietj. [Applause.] Upon Owff, gsq., London, whilst he had been a tee- tntallev for many yeais would not believe in any system but that of moral persuasion His frieni the Chairman, fee believed, was somewhat fanatical about the question. AD he [Mr. Owen) could do with his friends was to ar- guo with them, if they could justify their own conduct with their consciences and the word of God, he could mat condemn them. [Hear. hear.] W. B. HUCIHKS, Ksq. [who was warmly received], wsibed to mark, by his presence that evening among them, the due sense of importance with which he regar- Ak-d all efforts to promote temperance and sobriety, fta be bad said on the previous evening, he was sorry to aoe, in the discharge of his magisterial duties, the conti- atied incre (ec of this vice, which they were called so oftent to suppress,—first, by gentle fines, then by aterm of imprisonment. Still, he hoped that meeting would {<• the means of enabling them to say better things of laeir countrymen, that the evil might be mitigated, and the iniseryand penury which it entailed entirely removed. fOboere.] He proposed a vote of thanks to the Chair- ■Ma, which the Rev. Mr Griffith seconded. The. meeting then terminated. WEDNESDAY. This being the principal day of the festival, a laree jwtabrr of people arrived in the city by excursion trains frwa Wrexham, Denbigh, Holyhead, and Carnarvon. The first meeting was held at the Tabernacle Chapel, at ten o'clock in the morning, A. Situnei-, Esq., in the owt. The CHAIRMAN said that temperance had done a great Ae,.tl for himself, and had been a great source of blessing to the country, especially Wales, which was highly pri- .a.g11. Some time ago he had occasion to visit a CbbiDet Minister in London, to ask on behalf of his wuatrymen a small favour at the hands of the Govern- ment. He told him the Welsh had a claim upon the fc^iaUtme. Tho minister immediately asked how and what claim that was. Well," he [the chairman] said, we have given you less trouble since our annexation to Ktagland than either the Scotch or the Iridh-seareely nn are you asked to interfere with us." But how do "n accouut for that?" said the gentleman whom he um galdrewiiig. Well," said he, I account for it in (kit way. It is ttw Biule and Sunday Schools that have tad a better hold upon the people-they live more eco- gwatially, and they are more contented." Having con- (prod with his colleagues, he granted his application. (Tlas, we believe, refers to the extension of titfte.flUjWed fer the enrolment of chapels in Wales.) He exnorted his countrymen not to lower their character by indul- IÏfIg ill the vice of drunkeoneea, which, notwithstanding all their efforts, still appeared to prevail to a fearful extent. Hev. W. ROWLANDS, Machynlleth, condamned in un- measured terms the beastly habit of smoking," which was resorted to in private houses and railway carriages, which threatens 1 to undermine the health and the stamina of the rising generation, and excited a desire for driuk. He really could not see any consistency in the conduct of those who abstained from intoxicating drinks and continued to indulge in this noxious weed. He then went on to observe that the principles of total ab- stinence were plainly enjoined in Scripture- Certain people were commended in the Old Testament for their abstinence. Some might raise an objection and say they were merelv commended for their obedience; but would they be commended for doing a wrong thing 1 Not likely. He maintained that before justice could be administered, the druukeu man should not only be fined, but those who sold him that which made him drunk— whether it be the first or second glass—all contribute to the drunkenness. But some objected to pledjit them- selves not to drink. This principle was also recognised in the Bible. The azarenes entered into a covenant with the Lord that they would not drink and the Re- ohabites (who were not God's people) had BWorn to their father thry would not drink. For this they were again ooinmeuded by God It was right and proper they should enter into a solemn vow not to do that which was displeasing to God. The pood John Wesley to whose connexion he belonged) laid it down as one of the constitutional rules of Wesleyanism that the ministers wort not to indulge in ardent spirits. To ihe candidates for the ministry the following questions were put:— Do yon drink ardent spirits ?" The reply is, No." "no yon smoke or take snuff The reply i-s "No." He was sorry to say that in less than a fortnight after they were ordained, many of his bret hren were seen partaking of aident spirits. Having related an anecdote of Judge Jeffreys (a native of Flintshire), who was said I to be often inebriated on the bench, he concluded by exhorting his friends at Bangor to persevere in the good work which they had began to accomplish. Kev..1. It. HUGHES, of l'entraeth, next addressed the meeting with much power and effect. Hev JOIIN THOMAS, Liverpool, remarked that the temperance question seemed to he much favoured in th-se days among the higher classes of society, who saw the deplorable consequence of drink, and were not in. disposed to consider the propriety of legislating upon the subject. The pulpit had been insufficient to check its prevalence, or had Oeen silenced in the performance of its duties, or ini4ht be shamed to do it, by the magis- teri d benches of the country. The drinking habits of the people retarded the progress of reliioti in the first place, they kept the masses alouf from places of wor-j ship. According to Dr. Chalmers, 62 per cent. may be reasonably expected to attend places of worshin in this king-loin according to Mr. Haines CO per cent., and ac- cording to Nir. Horace Mann's calculation 53 per cent. is the average number which maybe expected to' at- tend Now the population of this kingdom at the IaRt census was 18 millions; so that eight millions may be excused on account of age, disease, &c., for not attend- ing the house of God. But if the other ten millions came how could they be accommodated? I here was no adequate provision in nil the churches and chapels for more than 56 per cent. Wales was better off in that respect than other parts of the country, as there was a provision in Wales to the amount of 8U per cent. The number of Welsh speaking inhabitants of Liver- pool amounted to 56,000 -there were thousands of others who were Welshmen bnt coillil not speak Welsh —to meet the number there were 19 Welsh chapels and one Welsh church, capable of accommodating only 12,001) persons; and 30,000 Welsh-speaking people in Liverpool mTV fairly be estimated as the average who do not attend any place of worship. And what was the cause of this disparity ? Why, drink —the curse and i shame of Great Britain. [Cheers.] He had no sympathy with those would-be patriots who get upon the plat- forms of Eisteddfodau and cry out, "Ocs y bi/ii iaith flymnteg" in an English speech whilst- they looked down upon their fellow-countrymen groaning in the very depths of degradation and sin. It was not those who uttered fulsome adulations—soft-soaping each other at public dinners—and balled at the point of their voices, "our glorious constitution," the "army and! navy," &c., that were the true patriots. No, it was those who felt for their national iniquities, who bewailed the sad condition of the poor drunkard, and denied him- self the luxuries and pleasures of his own table, in order to rescue the unhappy victim of unholy desires [Cheers.] The drinking practices ai<o counteracted the inSuence of grace upon the minds of thousands who did attend places of worship. He strongly denounced the Welsh public-houses in Liverpool, where few incompetent literary tyros and foul-mouthed poetasters met together to wipe away 'in idle jests what some may have felt at the places of worship. Of all places under heaven let young men from Wales eschew those nests of iniquity. The drinking custom was also the main cause of back- sliding in all the churches of Christ; and of all the anomalies in God's creation the most conspicuous was seeing the ministers of God embracing the viper which penetrated the vitals of Christendom. (Applause.) The Cu ini.M.-iy hoped that all would discountenance Eisteddfodau, and appealed to Mr. Th en i-s himself not t Kive them a helping hand. He knew of no poet who had done any good to his country. In London he saw many a young man ruined with the Cym-eigyddion. The meeting terminated with a vote of thanks to tha Chairman. TUE AFTERNOON MEETING. The next meeting was held at the Tabernacle Mr. Hugh Hughes, Llangaffo, in the chair. The CHAIKMAN briefly addressed the meeting, after which he called the Hev. R. T. OWEN, Bethesda, who spoke of the social duties which pertained to each member of society to discharge. He enumerated the evils of intemperance, which affected not the drunkard only, but the tax- I payers also, who had to support gaols, reformatories, I and workhouses, which were filled by BUCll characters. Rev. W. EDWARDS, of Aberdare, next addressed the meeting. Dr. IRVING WHITE referred to the amount of Sabbath desecration engendered by intemperance, and the open- ing of public houses on Sunday. In Scotland the Act for closing public-houses on the Lord's day was in the 9th year of its operation—they were dosed from 11 o'clock on Saturday night till 8 o'clock on Monday I morning He and others in Scotland went personally to the people, and asked them what real advantages were there which had grown out of such a change. The first class was the police. Before Forbes Macken- zie's Act had come into operation they were told that from 80 to 100 people were locked up in Glasgow be- tween 6 o'clock on Saturday night and 6 o'clock on Sun- day morning. Since the alteration alluded they were told by the police that scarcely 5 individuals were locked up during that period [Cheers.] Then he looked at it commercially—the difference in the taxation for the support of those so committed. In addition to Glasgow they gathered the opinion of the shopkeepers in Edinburgh, Dundee, and Aberdeen. They asked them what their condition was previous to the passing of that Act. They answered that the people came to their shops late, laid out little money, and bought the worst at the very last hour. Since the alteration they came early, laid out a larger sum of money, making more ample provision for their cupboards and their homes. And look at it in another light. That which the people bought at the provision shops and ware- houses did them good, whilst the money they spent for drink at the public-houses only muddled their brains, and became a curse to them that used it. [Cheers.] They next went to thelminiciten and those who had charge of congregatiops, and aeked them also what had taken place with respect to the number of persons who attended places of worship since the Mackenzie's Act was passed. "Oh," they said, "we can hardly find room for the people now!" Now, he asked them, was it no- thing that the people were gathered together in the House of Prayer, and put their feet, as it were, upon one step of God's ladder, which they hoped would ter- minate at God's thronel Sabbath day drinking was one of the curses which they had to battle with. Since the passing of that Act in Scotland, whatever scoffers said to the contrary, the moral aspect of the people had changed. If it was right for Scotland it was right for broad England-it was right for Wales. [Cheers.] At the royal commission instituted, large employers of la- bour admitted that a great number of the men before this Act passed did not come to their work till late on Monday, others on Tuesday, and some even not till Wednesday. Look at the loss to the manufacturer, and the loss to the working men themselves from that state of things. Who could estimate the happiness which the working man's wife lost, the education of his child- ren neglected, and the comforts of home frittered away. fltit the change. The men came at the usual hour on Monday morning, and continued, with some exceptions, till the afternoon of Saturday with their work. Him- self and friends next went to the municipal authorities at Edinburgh. There they had voted X12,000 to enlarge one wing of the gaol. The vote, however, remained in abeyance for a short time; because it was a large sum to pay out of the tax.paying people for an asylum to drunkards. Now, let them look at the advantages of closing pnblic-houses on Lord's day. It was found out after the passing of that Act that it was no longer ne- cessary to enlarge the gaol. [Cheers ] Were they in Bangor willing to help those who wished to close public houses on Sunday, that their children's prospects might not be blasted for ever. He trusted that something would be done by the godly of Wales in co-operation with their friends in England, to enable Mr. Somes to bring in another bill in the next session of Parliament. They were labouring for the common good of the land, and the welfare of the people. [Applause,] Rev. J. JONES, Carneddi, who was a total abstainer for nearly 30 years, spoke of the continued blessings which flowed from a teuipe; ate life. [The speaker here turned to the Chairman, who was a stout jolly-looking old gentleman, and pointed to the good effects teeto talisin depicted in his face. Mr. Jones exhibiting also a considerable amount of flesh upon his body, the Chair- man, good humouredlv, stepped forward, and taking him hy the arm, both stood speechless upon the plat- form, sporting the good qualities of the cold water sys- tem. This produced considerable laughter and cheer- ing.] Hev. A. J. PARRY, in a highly argumentative strain, addressed the meeting, and endeavoured to prove that the Bible prohibited, condemned, and commanded even the moderate use of intoxicating liquors. The meeting closed with a prayer. THE EVENING MEETINGS. Two evening meetings were held in the evening, one at the Tabernacle, the other at Horeb Chapel. At the Tabernacle Chapel, Mr. THOMAS LEWrsoc- cupied the chair, and called upon the Rev. J. GRIFIUTH, of Neath, to address the meeting in English. The rev. gentleman first announced that the subject of his remarks would be a word of counsel and a word of encouragement to the working man." • .e then saill that he liked the word working-man; because it \fM associated in his mind with everything that was great and dignified. He could not think of any one any- where worthy of an important place in society who. was not a working man. It was a mistake, however, to aup- pose that no one but he that works with his hands was worthy of that honoured title God in his Providence had ordained various departments of labour in this worl(I--sotlle were called to labour with the members of their body, others with the faculties of their minds There were working men in science and philosophy, working hard to develope great truths, which bear upon their well being, and bring forth great theories in science into practice. Iu the field of philanthropy men were fonud working very hard In large towus they found them going out to relieve distress in every form, and alleviate poverty aud misery of all kinds Ministers of the Gospel had also gre,1t work to pcrft)rxii -it was a work carried on to eternity, and woe to them if they were not workmen, aye, honest workman too. [Cheeis.J There is no r iom for the drones in the busy hive of this world. He had ministered among working men for the last 20 years, and lie h.ul no desire to change the scenes oi bis labour.—If they looked back a hundred years ago they would find that very little comparatively was clone for tho working man. Few thought or eared how he lived then. But now, working men's children when hardly able to spe;.k were taken to schools, aud have offered them superior education and admirable mental discipline. Philanthropy stepped forward when he is taken out of the day school, and takes him tenderly by the hand, and keeps hitu in a night school. Justus he ad- vanced in life, what did society again do for him! They had, probably, a reading room and a mechanics institute in ISangor, to improve his mind. Everything ii working at this moment for the working man and if they did not keep him right he was sure to go wrong. Look j what religion was doing for him; the magnificent churches and chapels free for his reception, without being shoved as formerly into a remote corner, screened by pillars in the broad aisle. Denominational differences was lost sight of in endeavouring to benefit the working man; and be rejoiced that it was open tor all of them to tread the same common road, to look at one com- mon Saviour, for to be washed in his blood, and be candidater3 for one common heaven. [Loud applause.] If, therefore, it was ascertained that society had done and was doing all this, what was there to be done ill connection with the working classes ? He wished to see the working men in good old ^Vales rising up and shewing an example to other nations of their frugality and temperance. Everybody thought of money; it was impossible not to think of money Parsons and people alike must have motley Well, what marvellous change had takei) place in men's wages? lie remembered the time when Is. a day was the common wage for a la- bourer In some parts of \Vales, he knew, wages were Still very low but still, taking the country together, look at the enormous advance that has taken place. He could not get a man to labour about his house under Us. to 18s. a week, and he was mighty particular about what was given him to do, and he a)waysaltowed him to go home at 4 o'clock the afternoons of Saturday. There was the skitrutartizans, again—men who only earned formerly about 1.. (id. a day, now getting their 4;. audos.aday. In the large forge works in South Wales there were men earning as much as £ 14 per month. Labour in this country realised about 300,000,000 annu- ally, and about 4-5th of this capital found its way into the pockets of working men. If that be so, and he had no reason to doubt it. let it not be said that nobody cares f r the working man, and that he was little better off than a slave. The suffering of the working classes was brought on by themselves. rheir position was perfectly independent, and they had every opportunity to improve themselves. But what did the working class do with their wages ? Ifow was their tyiiaicy spent ? They were coming theu to the Borrowful part of the sti r. the working man spent £ 20,000,000 a year on spiritous li- quors £ 25,000,000 annually upon beer, porter, and other drinks. But it Nyzt,.i not only the money spent, but- the tiitic lost they should look tipoi). Why was it that Merthyr and Dowlais men did not go to their work on the Monday following pay day; why, it was because they could not be got out of the public house. But what were the words of counsel and encouragement he had to give them with the view of improving their con- dition. Dill they reCjuire more lIleam to be supplied to them by others—additional schools, charitable and bene- volent societies? He would tell them never to lose their self-respect, and their independence for the mo- ment they did No, they would h«e the position which Oad intended they should occupy in society, and become absolutely slaves. They should endeavour to regulate themselves and control their passions that they might not forfeit that privilege which was at the foundation of everything that was great and good. (Cheers.) Let them rely ;M much as possible upon themselves; and if they wished to advance themselves in the world, he would say to them, "Practice economy." A it long as they con- tinued to resort to the public houses, as longas that they were sure to occupy an inferior position among their fel- low-creatures. Take care of your freedom (said Mr. Griffith), and don't sell it for nothing. Snap the chains that hold you fast, and jump into happiness and free- dom. Put there is a work still of greater importance. While working for time, you should also work for eter- nity. It is far greater than any other work in connec- tion with this work, the father cannot work for the son, nor the mother for the daughter. You must all work for yourselves. "Work while it is called to-day "-work with all your might. (Loud cheering.) The Rev. JOHN JONES, Carnarvon, drew a graphic picture of two young men entering upon life—one start- ing upon temperance principles, and the other trifling with temptation, and becoming a drunkard. lie follow- ed up the career of each, contrasting them in life, and on a death-bed, and the influence they exercised oil their respective posterity. The Rev. J. THOMAS, Liverpool, comparing the pre- sent state of things with what they were 15 or 20 years ago, thought drunkenness was on the increase, and if it made the same progress in the next ten years as it had made within the last, they should retrograde to the same awful point as that which aroused the spirit of their fathers to their energetic combat with the evil. What they wanted was to drive intoxicating drinks to the apothecaries shops, where they ought to be, and this would only be accompli.,heil by total abstinence,— common sense itself would not do it, neither would education, or legal enactments, for men get to be drunk- ards in spite of all these. He, therefore, exhorted his audience that in order to be secure, to step on the firm ground on which they stood, and, with Pedr Vardd, say, Rwy'n penderfynu dal yn dyn Yn wastad heb ddiferyn. He was followed by an address from the Rev. Mr. Ed- wards, of Aberdare. The proceedings terminated with a prayer, and a vote of thanks to the Chairman. MEETING AT HOREB CHAPEL. I Another crowded meeting was held at Horeb Wesley- an Chapel, the Rev. It. T. Owei), of fiethwda, in the chair. Revs. J. li. Hughes and W. Rowlands having spoken at some length, the meeting was further addressed by Mr. R. P ARHY [Robyn Ddu Eryri], Merthyr Tydfil, who, by a figurative appellation, introduced the subject of temperance societies, which fiod had revealed to good men in the fulness of time, as he did other societies, to combat the monster evil of intemperance. It was spe- cially the work of God's church to promote sobriety, and to eradicate this evil; and he could not see the consis- tency of those who called for legal enactmelJtB to abolish the drinking custom of this country whilst they them- selves, as ministers of God, looked on with total indif- ference at the temperance movement. A call for the civil power to interfere, in his opinion, was a tacit ad- mission of the church's own lukewarmness, and neglect of the opportunities possessed to work effectually upon the world. Still, it, was the duty of all, as iiiaiiibers of society, without regard to any particular church, to assist in this moral regeneration of mankind. No one should be prohibited from doing good to his neighbours; and yet there were some who were called the spiritual leaders of the people who would crush the endeavours of all but themselves to effect this improvement, Wheft he walked the street he met some who were physically stronger and taller than him, and others who were weak- er and shorter. It was the same intellectually; some I were stronger, and others weaker; but would they be- lieve it, and would they allow him to aiy so without | giving himself up to vain self-prgoe--he had to listen to men whom' he knew to be inferior to him in point of ititA,,Ilect, mental dwarfs —who wished to gag his mouth, because he could personally testify to the evils of iilteinperftnee. (Cheers.] Common sense lecommen- ded the principles of total abstinence. He then went on to shew the eminent literary characters who had become slaves to the vile passions of their nature; and how the names of poor Burns, and Lord Byron were associated with excessive drinking. He referred to the exertions of good Dean Cotton and Dr. Arthur Jones to put down the drinking practices in Bangor, and said that, to a godly man to do good, was as natural as breathing. He we several striking illustrations of the power and gond of temperance principles, and interspersed with anec- dotes good humouredly related, concluded with a power- ful oration, enjoining all to try the cold water experi- ment- Darllawiad lor y lluoedd." 'y After a few words from the Rev. A. J. Parry, the meeting terminated. The proceedings were ejilivened with the services of "Cor yr Aelwyd," consisting of father and five of his sons, who sang some very pretty glees during the day. Delegate meetings were held in the morning and af- ternoon, at which several resolutions were passed, which will be published in our next week's l-ssue. Thanks were voted to Colonel Pennant for his liberality, to Mr. Bulkeley Hughes for his presence, and to the Rev. Mr. Griffith, who had come from such a distance to attend the meetings.

I ST. ASArn. I ?MU?E OF FREDERICK LUX MORE HEA- I ESQ., TO MISS ELEANOR JJONNOn. The above joyfu! event took place on Thursday last, it the parish church of St. Asaph. The sacred cere- mony was performed by the Right Rev. the Lord Bishop of the Vince"e, assi,terl by Canon Jones, in the presence of a very numerous party of relatives, friends, and well- wishers The bridegroom is the fifth son of the late John fleaton, Esq of Plas Heaton, for upwards of 20 years chairman of the Denbighshire Quarter Sessions, and the bride is the daughter of the Very Rev. the Dean of St. Asaph. Hundreds of spectators congregated to have a glimpse of the bridal party as they proceeded to and returned from church. The sight was extremely gay. The bride was dressed in white moire antique, blonde veil, and a wreath of orange blossoms. The bridesmaids wore white spotted tarlatan dresses, with Alexandra white sashes, and wreaths oT forget-me-not. Their names are as follows Miss Joanna Bonnor; Miss Caroline Bon- nor Miss Emily Heaton Miss Jessie Heaton Miss Frampton; and Miss l.ynes The groomsmen were— George Bonnor, Esq and Colonel Heaton. As the happv couple were returning from church their path was thickly strewed with flowers, by a numerous band of children, ueatly attired in garments befitting the oc- casion. After the matrimonial ceremony was over, the bridal party attended a full choral service at the cathedral, Archdeacon Wickham, the Very Rev. the Dean, Canon Jones, Rev J. Sturkey, and the Rev. T. Brown, vicars, officiated. On returning from the cathedral the wedding was escorted to the iJeanery by a long procession of school children, carrying fhgs and banners, preceded by Mr. Davies's excellent juvenile drum and fife band. In the afternoon the children were regaled by the Dean and Mrs. Bonnor, with tea, &c, on the beautiful lawn in front of the Deanery Mr. Davies's band was now joined by Mr Cleaver's drum and tife band, and they played several spirited tunes to enliven the meet- ing. After tea much merriment was enjoyed, occasioned by an energetic scramble tor a number ot silver coins thrown on the lawn by the Dean. The event was duly honoured by the inhabitants of the city generally. iligh Street was most tastefully de- corated The following parties suspended appropriate flHii from their houses —Mr. Cleaver Mr. Jones, Rose and Crown; Mr. John Kelly; Nir. Atkins, organist; Mr. Charles If ughes, stationer; Mr. Thomas Jones, draper; Miss Storev; Mr. David Jones, grocer; Mr. Hookes, saddler; Mostyn Arms Hotel; Mr. Ryan, pro- vision dealer; Mr. Jones, vaults, who aloo had the fol- lowing words, nicely painted on linen, in front of his premises, long life and prosperity to the new-married Couple;" and Mr. John Hughes, Manchester House. We likewise noticed a large flag hoisted on the cathedral tower, and several flags at the railway station. Early in the week a few friends formed themselves into a committee, with a view of raising funds to carry ,t -,i few demonstr. tions to celebrate the event of the dav. A handsome sum was collected, which was judi- ciously disbursed. The cathedral gates were adorned with evergreens, a.s, also, was the entrance gate to the Deanery, and two triumphal arches were erected in High Street Refreshments, sweets, &c., were given to the children of the two day schools in the eitv, and 200 other children also, two-ounce packets of the best tea were distributed to upwards of 130 old women residing iu the vicinity of St. Asaph. The bands were engaged by the committpe. rhe remaining portion of the money was given in prizes at the rural sports which took place in the evening. We understand that festivities occurred in the village of Henllan, in the immediate neighbonphood of Plas Heaton, where the bridegroom's family are deservedly beloved and respected.

I) I NBIGH. ST. HILARY'S CHURCH. On Wednesday evening last, a meeting was held at the Town Hall in behalf of the movement originated some weeks past to re-pew St. II ilary's Church, iu order to afford increased accommodation to the parishioners. Se- veral meetings have been held, and at the last one it was resolved to communicate with the pew owners, with a view of obtaining their consent to proced with the work. The subjoined circular was forwarded to each of them Denbigh, May 2nd, 1864. Sir, — Tn consequence of the Rector and Churchwar- dens having reported to a tneitiiig, held on the 5th of April, that several parishioners are prevented attending divine service at St. Hilary's Church, through want of prooer accommodation, all persons claiming pews in the Church were specially invited to attend an adjourned meetimron the following Tuesday, to consider whether it would not be advisable to replace the existing pews with uniform sittings,-having due regard to vested rights. Several pew owners and other parishioners attended, t'aviog first of all examined the Church, ati(I seen that some of the seate were in a discreditable state of repair, and that others were so narrow that the owners do not occupy them, it was itnatiitnouslv resolved, that tin- Rector and Church wardens should communicate with all who claim seat)), to ascertain whether, for the sake of accommodating those who are at present anxious but unable to attend the services of the Church, they are willing to co-operate with the Committee appointed at the meeting with a view of re-seating the Church. Would you be so good as to send your reply to the Churchwardens before the 14th instant It is earn. estly hoped that ynili- decision may be in favour of a movement from which there is every reason to expect that much good will arise u e are, Sir, your obedient servants, L. LEWIS, Rector. A R.TuRforR. M.D., ) Church- ?AKTItSMtTH, j wardens. They were requested, in reply, to express their as- sent" or "dissent" from "the proposal that the pews in the above Church which are claimed by me, shall be re- moved. and the Church uniformly re-seated, on condi- tion that a number of sittings, adequate to the accom- modation of my family, be allotted to me." The meeting on Wednesday evening was convened for the purpose of reading the replies. There were pre-cnt-Rev, L. Lewis, Rector, in the chair: Messrs Gold Edwards, Martin Smith, Pyracan- tha 'ouso; Thoma. Jonc., surveyor; It. Lloyd Wil- liams, Henry Davies, Edward Jones, Dr. Hughes, and Hev. T. Thomas. The Rector stated that he had recently been to Car- narvonshire, and he made it a point to examine all tile f churches tli,re and in almost every instance he found i they were either new, or had lately been placed in a state of repair. The free-seal system was also adopted in most (4 them. He waR sorry to Hay that the seats in St. Hifary'sChnrch were in a disreputable state com- pared to the seats of the churches he had seen in Car- narvonshire. Dr. Hughes remarked that the seats of St. Hilary's Church could not he in a much worse state than they are now. The Rector said he had received twelve replies from pew owners, three of whom were dissentients from the movement, viz., Rev. R. Myddleton, Mrs. Twiston, and Mrs. Kaye. Mr. Martin Smith—Is there a reply from Mis. Mos- tyn ? The Rector—Mrs. MORtyn "assents," and she has also subscribed the suin of X 20 towards the work—(hear, hear.) Mt-. Lloyd Williams-If we were all of the same liberal spirit as Mrs. Mostyn, we should have no difficulty to proceed with the movement. (Hear, hear.) Mr. Gold Edwards—We have dissents" from three of the principal pew owners, and we are consequently placetl iti'grt-.iit (liffietilty, ,tn(I I do not see lio%v we are to get over it. It is a matter of very deep regret that Mr. MyddMton and others should oppose us—(hear, hear.) Mr Henry Davies suggested that both churches in town should be thrown open, or that the vested rights should be sold. kir, Davies was told by Mr. Martin Smith and Mr. Gold Edwards that his suggestions were impracti- cable. Dr. Hughes-What would be the cost of obtaining a first rate counsel's opinion on the question whether St. Hilary's Church is a parish church ? Mr. Gold Edwards—Ten gir f.ws. Mr. Oliphant thought that Archdeacon Wickham would be a high authority to decide that point. The Rector—Archdeacon Wickbam is very strongly of opinion that it is a parish church. Mr. Thomas Jones-I do not think it is a parish church. Mr. Smith-It is apparent we cannot go on with the work by consent of parties; the question i-how can we meet thg difficulty ? Mr. Gold Edwards—I think we niiiit let the matter drop; we cannot proceed with it without the co-opera- tion of all the pew owners. Mr. M. Sri)itti-It ig generally the c,,tse, that if any improvement is required, there are only a few to be found to work in favour of it, and those who are the most active are often the parties who can least afford their time and money. (Hear, hear.) Personally, I am very much disinclined to spend any money on the up- per church it is in a very unfavourable position, and it is almost impossible to approach it in winter. I should wish to see a movement started for a new church in a more desirable situation, and leave the old church to rot on the hill in possession of those parties who have vested rights in it. Hear, hear). Mr. Gold Edwards-To exemplify the disagreeable state of things in the tipper church, a respectable trades- man, in this town, and his family, have been attending divine worship there for a long time, sitting in the same seat every Sunday but, lately, they received notice from the verger to quit the pew on a certain Sunday, because the owner intended being there. The owner is living several miles from Denbigh, and I can say that he has not been in the habit of attending St. Hilary's once in five years. The family alluded to were driven from the church, and I understand they will not go there agalu. After a little further conversation, it was proposed by Mr. Gold F.dwards, seconded by Mr. Lloyd Williams, and carried unanimously—" As it appears that some of the parties claiming pews in St. Hilary's Church are un- willing to co-operate with the Rector and Churchwar- dens in the movement to increase the accommodation required by the wants of the parish, this meeting feel the difficulties to be at present insurmountable, and the meeting is adjourned sine die." Great regret was expressed by all present that Mr. Myddleton should refuse to co-operate in the move- ment. Mr. M. Smith observed that it was a fundamental error for a 8inle ilHlividllal to monopolize pews in the manner done by Mr. Myddleton He could not think it possible that Ir. Myddleton was capable, as had been intimated, of trying to possess a number of pews to con- vert them into money but he supposed his op- position originated from a sort of old conservative feeling. In justice to Mr. Myddleton, we think it right to in- sert his reasons for expressing dissent." They are as follows :-Ist. Because by the proposed alterations my seats would be rendered uncomfortable, and in some re- spects useless to us. 2ndly. I am convinced that no additional'room would be obtained. The seat we person- ally occupy consists of one and a half single seat, being originally a single seat enlarged by the half of the adjoining seat being purchased the other half being added to that now occupied by Miss Stenhouse. The seat in which my servants sit is merely the usual size of a single pew so is the other seat re- served for my tenants, but until so required, placed en- j tirely at the disposal of the Rector and Churchwardens. My other seat is well fille(I by the Howell's School children. 3rdly. No one is willing to relinquish that which they set a value upon as useful to them, or to support an alteration which will make them uncomfort- able, As regards a plan to procure additional room, I feel quite incompetent to offer any suggestion. 1

Although the weather last week was not bad it was not suf- ficiently genial to help forward the stic, esiful blooming of the wheat or the growth of the later corn. Much hay has been gathered in fair order, but the yield has proved light, the growth having been materially lessened by the sharp niglifs which oc- curred in its full growth. The more we -hear of the standing corn, the more aro we convinced that to cherish the expectations of anything like the abundance of last year would be fallacious Fine warm sunshine and occasional showers may do much but with the finest weather we expect heavy sheave% will be the ex. ception in the coming harvest. It is true they are better in Ger- many, and the French markets have rather yielded on the com- mencement of their southern gatherings but the corn-growing districts of northern Europe had been very unpromising and the improvement of their prospects scarcely brings us to all average expectation. Politics have reverted to sadness and bloodshed but, happily, Britain seems for the preseit sa ed from mingling with the insane and rumous strife, though the renewal of the Danish blockade must have the effect to limit supplies, as it has lowered prices at Danzie to 438 and 41s. for fine high-mixed wheat, with a doubt as to their stability The nearer markets note, as yet. little change but America, with her exchange up to 230 per cent, and her cereal expectations down 30 per cent, shows such a state of disturbance as to be no longer reliable M a source of future supply of importance, whatever be the issue of her internecine tad reckless civil war.
