The North Wales Chronicle and Advertiser for the Principality

NEWS OF THE WEEK. Good accounts were received, last week, from the Princes Alfred and Arthur. The former was in Norway, and had proceeded as far as the North Cape. Prince Arthur was in Switzerland. He had been staying at Cliamouiiix, and had ascend- ed ou foot towards Mont Blauo, as far as the Grand Alitlets. Next week, the Prince and Princess of Wales go to Denmark. Their Royal Highnesses will be escorted by the Channel Fleet. On Thursday, the Queen was to leave Osborne for Windsor where the Duchess of Saxe-Coburg- Gotha is expected, on Friday, or Saturday, on a visit to Her Majesty. On the latter day, the Prince and Princess Louis of Hesse, will take leave of her Majesty, on their return to Germany. Their Royal Highnesses will embark either at Woolwich or Graveseiid.-Her Majesty will hold a Council at Windsor on the 27th and soon after- wards leave for Balmoral. A tire of extraordinary extent, was last week 'burning for some time before it was discovered, in the Government plantation, near Farnham, known as Woolmer Forest. When discovered, the wood over many acres had been destroyed. On Friday, the further progress of the flames was stayed, by detachments being sent from the en- campment at Aldershott, to dig broad trenches, across which the flames could not reach. The damage is immense. There is little doubt that the fire was the work of incendiaries and Rome gipsies are suspected, who were prevented from pitching their tents there. On Tuesday, Lord Palmerston visited his con- stituents at Tiverton, for the first time for seve- ral years. He was received with shouts of wel- come and made a brief speech to the populace from his hotel window. In the afternoon, there was a banquet at the Town-hall, the Mayor in the chair. The guest of the evening made a long speech in acknowledging his health in the course of which he admitted, that the reason we did not assist the Danes, was, that we had no means of sending out a force able to cope with the armies Germany could send against us. The riots at Belfast continued the greater part of last week, assuming on Wednesday and Thurs- a most alarming aspect. The respectable inhabi- tants,—Protestant and Roman Catholic—exerted themselves to preserve the peace. The former petitioned the Government to supersede the ma- gistrates by two Government Commisssoners, as they had no confidence in them. On Thursday, there were riots at Duttdalk, where the Roman Catholics burned King William III, in effigy, and broke the windows of Protestants. Riots were also apprehended at Newry, Cork, and Diibliii but the precautions taken by the magistrates in those places prevented any collision between the hostile parties. On Monday, tJ)" intelligence re- ceived in London, was to the ettect, that the dis- turbances at Belfast had ceased, not through the action of the police, the military, or the magis- trates-but by the respectable inhabitants of the city taking the matter into their own hands visitill" the districts from whence the rioters came, reasoning with them, and obtaining from each party, promises of remaining quiet, if they were not attacked by the other. During the riots several persons were killed and numbers wounded. A good many are in custody and will be tried at the sessions. On Tuesday, the Belgian Chambers were re- opened without a speech from the throne. The Prince de Ligne was re-elected President of the Senate. The sessions will only last for a few days We learn from Warsaw, that the palatinate of Augustowo will be incorporated with Russia on the 27th inst. It is to remain under the admin- istration of a Polish Governor; and General Zobolocki has been nominated to the post. We may hope that all will be soon arranged be- tween Denmark and her oppressors, as negocia- tions for the definitive treaty of peace will soon be opened at Vienna. The delay has been occa- sioned by the difficulty experienced in arranging the financial question between Denmark and the Duchies. As a consequence of the cession of Schleswig, it was announced to the Danish Landsthing on the 15th, that the Constitution of last Novem- ber no longer existed. M. de Blackme, on being questioned, said, the Rigsrad would also cease to exist, but the ministers could not say, at present, what would be substituted for it.—The Crown Prince and Princess of Sweden visited Copenha- gen on the 18th they breakfasted with the King on the 19th, and left in the evening for Sweden. —Prince Humbert, of Italy, is also on a visit to Copenhagen. He embarked at Lubeck, for that city, on the 32nd inst., and arrived at Copen- hagen the next day. He goes from the Danish capital to Stockholm. A semi-official paper at Berlin, informs us, that the Saxon Government has withdrawn the motion proposed to the Diet, in reference to Schleswig and Holstein, foreseeing that it would be unable to obtain a majority. The Saxon Diet closed on Tuesday, when the King regretted that his troops had not taken part in the war and expressed a hope that the Schleswig Holstein question would find a favourable solution one in accordance with the rights and wishes of Germany. Some natives of Schleswig are agitating for the purpose of obtaining a general vote of the popula- tion, as to their future government, after the conclusion of peace. At present, the Austrians and Prussians appear determined to occupy both Duchies. Gen. Gablentz, the commander of the Austrian army arrived on Friday, at Altona, and made arrangements for taking Holstein out of the hands of the Federal troops. The alliance between Austria and Prussia, dis- approved of by the German States, and looked upon with suspicion by France, does not appear to be popular in Austria itself. The Ost Deutsche Fast, of Vienna, of the 14th inst., "Looks in vain for a single advantage to indemnify Austria for the infinite disadvantages and dangers for the future, that are inseparable from the alliance." This seems to be the general opinion throughout the empire, to judge from the tone of the press. —The Sovereigns aud their ministers, however, appear disposed to continue the alliance.—The King of Prussia is now at the Palace of Schon- brunn, on a visit to the Emperor. He arrived at Vienna on Saturday, and was received by the Emperor at the railway station, from whence the two monarchs went to Schonbrun, and where Count Rechbern and Herr Von Bismark had a long interview on Monday.—It is stated this week, that the Czar has ordered a reduction in his army as the Prussian army is also reduced, it does not look as if the sovereigns contemplated war. Very gay was Paris, last week, in consequence of the visit of Don Francisco de Assis, titular King of Spain, he having married the reigning Queen, Isabella. The fire at Limoges was a me- lancholy harbinger of his arrival; but after the first day it appeared to be forgotten. The da- mage done is not so great as was stated at first; but the loss must be more than £ 200,000. The King of Spain sent a liberal donation to the suf- ferers. His Majesty drove about the streets of Paris incognito, on Wednesday, the 17th. He is described as "a delicate looking man, very grave and gentlemanlike in his appearance." He held a reception at the Spanish embassy on Thursday morning. It was numerously attended, as was the dinner at the Tuileries in the evening the hos- pitality of the Emperor appearing to be unbound- ed. On Friday, the great feature of the day was the review in the Champs des Mars, where 70,000 men of the Imperial and National Guards, and the troops of the line were on the ground. There were slight showers but they did not prevent crowds of people from attending, nor interfere with the dashing manoeuvres of the troops.—On Saturday, the fetes at Versailles took place and columns might be occupied with descriptions of them. All the attractions of that picturesque, and at the same time splendid retreat, were dis- played. On Friday, Queen Christina came to Paris, and was visited by the King, who had intended going to Havre to see her, if she had not prevented him by arriving at the capital. Her Majesty's visit was caused by the illness of her daughter, the Princess Ladislas Czartoriska, who died on Friday night, soon after the arrival of the Queen.—The King left Paris on Sunday, and arrived at Bay- onne at 9 a.m., on Monday. It seems the French gamins have adopted a cant cry in the same way as ours formerly used the expressions, "How's your poor feet?" or "Does your Mother know you're out?" The phrase in Paris, is E Lambert! It was very freely used on the 15th and the police, putting a political construction upon it, made several hun- dred arrests. Several thousand copies of a song, the refrain being "Lambert," were also seized at the printers. We have this week, accounts of disturbances— the telegram terms them a "revolution, "-in Switzerland. The elections have been in progress at Geneva and on Snnday last, the radical com- mittee annulled the election of oM. Cheneviere, the Conservative candidate, to the Council of State. When this was known on Monday, the Con- servatives surrounded the building, in which the sittings of the Council where held. The inhabi- tants of the Faubourg St. Gervais armed them- selves, and a conflict ensued, in which four per- sons were killed, and 15 wounded. One account says that barricades were erected. A battalion of militia arrived, and restored order; and the Federal Council sent M. Fornerod as special Com- missioner. At the last accounts, disturbances had broken out again. We are informed, from Madrid, under date of the 20th inst., that an officer and some sergeants of the Regiment Saboya, had been tried by a Court-martial, on a charge of conspiracy, and acquitted. No disturbances had taken place in Madrid. The Union, of Paris informs us, that it has been hinted to Francis II. of Naples, that his fur- ther stay at Rome, is, in the opinion of the Go- vernments of France and Austria, inexpedient. It is supposed he will go to Spain.—The Pope's Minister of War, M. Merode, left Rome on the 21st, for Paris, where he will remain for a few days. On the 21stinst., the coronation of the statue of Rosine took place at Pesaro. A large number of spectators was present who displayed the greatest enthusiasm. The ministers, Peruzzi and Manna also attended the former delivered a speech on the occasion, on presenting a medal, sent by the municipalities of Florence and Bres- lau. The Greeks, having annexed the Ionian Islands, are longing for more territory. We learn, by ad- vices received at Trieste, from Athens, that the deputies from Cephalonia, propose that the As- sembly should call on the Government to declare it is the wish of the nation that Candia, Thessaly, and Epirus, should be peaceably annexed to Greece, by means of treaties. -We do not think it very likely that the Porte will, "peaceably," consent to such an arangemeut. Despatches received at Marseilles, on Saturday, confirm previous rumours of renewed disturbance in the province of Oran. Si-Mohammei had raised the tribes of several districts, who had cut the telegraph wires, and pillaged caravan serais. The troops had established a military oordon, con- fining the insurrection, and preventing any rein- forcements reaching the insurgents. The Cape Mail brings accounts from Cape Town to the 13th of July. Trade was then dull. Par- liament was to be prorogued the day the mail left. The removal to Graham's town was considered unnecessary and it was doubtful whether the experiment would be repeated.—The alarm raised on the frontier of an intention on the part of Kroli's people to cross the Bashee, turned out to be groundless; but the country along the coast line was represented as being in a disturbed state. An arrival from New York, at the close of last week, brought papers which repeated the report of Admiral Farragat having attached Mobile. The accounts were unofficial, and stated that, with a large fleet of 17 gun-boats and ironclads, he succeeded in passing forts Gaines and Morgan, which commanded the entrance to the harbour. He then attacked Mobile; and subsequent advices inform us that one Federal ram had been sunk; whilst two of the Confederate rams had been cap- tured, and another beached. On the 5th instant, the Federals had sacrificed Dauphin a Laud, on which Fort Gaines is situated. The same papers inform us, that, at 10 a.m. on the 5th instant, the Confederates crossed the Potomac in three bodies, of from 6,000 to 8,000 each. They united at Hayerstown, and marched on Cumberland and Pittsburg. They did not remain many days be- fore they again retired and New York advices, of the 10th, states that Averill had followed, and defeated them at Moorfield, Virginia, capturing 600 men, and 4 guns. Grant was still before Petersburg. An attack of the Confederates had been repulsed. It was reported that Mr. Stanton had resigned, and that the President had accepted his resignation. Official advices from Mexico, to the loth of July, have been received at Paris, which state that several unimportant engagements bad taken place between some bands and the troops. The sanitary condition of the army was satisfactory. The Indian mail has arrived. The dates are- Calcutta, July 15th Bombay, July 23rd. It seems that in Bhrotan and Burmah, preparations are making for war with England but probably they are only defensive.—The victories of the Ameer of Cabool over his rebellious brothers are confirmed. The war at Cabool, at the last ac- counts, strengthening his position, and increasing his armies.—Some new financial regulation have been made in connection with India. By an or- der from the Secretary of State for India, the Governor General is prohibited from sanctioning any expenditure above £301) per annum, without reference to England. And a minute of the Go- vernor General directs the financial member of his council, not to sanction any expenditure be- yond £ 60 per month, without reference to his excellency.—The dates from Shanghai are to July 5th. The papers inform us that the Por- tuguese plenipotentionaries had been unable to obtain a satisfaction of their treaty with the Chi- nese Government.—No fresh movements had been made by the rebels but they must hold more places than Hoo-chow and Nankin stated in late reports, to be the only cities in their hands. The Futo (the imperial commander) is said to have "taken two more cities and those named are still in the possession of the Tsepings.

I NARROW ESCAPE FROM DROWNING AT BRISTOL.—On Wednesday evening the 17th inst., about 8 o'clock a boy fell into the water opposite St. Vincent's Parade, the tide running very strong at the time. Captain Jones, of the ship Pontiac, with the owner, Mr. Owen, were pas- sing at the time. Captain Jones, with the assistance of Mr. Owen, got over the wall, and, suspending himself by a ring (which is used for making vessels fast), suc- ceeded in obtaining hold of the boy as the tide was carry- ing him away. But for the prompt assistance rendered by those gentlemen the boy must have met a watery grave, and too much cannot be said in praise of the in. trepid conduct of Captain Jones. NEW LIFEBOATS FOR THE WELSH COAST.—On Mon- day, some harbour trials were made at the Regent's Canal Dock, London, with two new lifeboats belonging to the National Lifeboat Institution, and built by the Messrs. Forrest, of Limehouse, under the superintend- ence of the Society. The self-righting and other proper- ties of the boats were found in every way satisfactory. One of the boats, which is 36 ft. long, is to be stationed at Porthdinllaen, on the Carnarvonshire coast. She is a splendid boat, and is well calculated for the important service she will have to perform on that dangerous point of the coast, where last winter several distressing ship- wrecks took place. The cost of this lifeboat has been given to the Institution by Lady Cotton Sheppard. The other lifeboat is 32 ft. long. She is to be stationed at Cardigan, and is in every way suitable for such a station. The cost of this lifeboat, and of three others, has been collected by R. Whitworth, Esq., of Manchester, amongst his friends and fellow-townsmen. She is caUed the John Stuart,' after a gentleman of that city, who, thoroughly appreciating Mr. Whitworth's benevolent exertions, promised to give him a specified sum towards the cost of each lifeboat he would succeed in collecting. Thus stimulated, Mr. Whitworth has persevered, and raised about £1,000 in donations, and between 9200 and t300 in annual subscriptions. The Institution has now one hundred and thirty-seven lifeboats under its manage- ment, and invites the co-operation of experienced and influential persons on the coast to increase that number, in order to station a lifeboat on every point where it can be shown that shipwrecks occur, and where a suffi- cient number of boatmen or fishermen are residing to work such boats on occasions of emergency.

CONWAY. On Sunday last a sermon, in aid of the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel, was preached ill the pariah church of Conway by the Rev. L. W. Owen, M.A., Rec- tor of Holy Trinity, Colchester. The collection amount- ed to X8 129. 10d,

CARNARVON. LIVERPOOL BANKRUPTCY COURT. Before Mr. Commissioner PERRY, Monday, Aug. 22.— In re John Dai;ieq., -This bankrupt, an auctioner at Carnarvon, with debts t630 and no assets, passed his last examination, and obtained his order of discharge, subject to the payment of fees. Mr. Best appeared for the bankrupt. In re Richard SUlf. This bankrupt, a seedsman at Carnarvon, appeared on his last examination and for order of discharge. The debts amount to jC500, and as- sets to about £ 50. The assignees, who were represented by llr. Evans, it appears offered no opposition, and the bankrupt passed and obtained his order of dis- charge.

LLANRWST. TY-HWNT-I'R-BONT PETTY SESSIONS.-A ugust 19.- Before Admiral Watling and R. O. Mouladale. Esq. Edward Lewis, a married man, residing at Llanrwst, was charged with assaulting a young girl about fifteen years of age, named Catherine Evans, on the highway, near Bettws-y-coed, on the 16th inst. The public were not admitted into court during the trial, and most of the evidence is unfit for publication, and had a tendency to prove an attempt of a higher offence against the defendant. Mr James appeared for the defence, end cross-exam- ined the girl at some length, but failed to shake her tes- testimony in any material point, after which he deliver- ed a most powerful speech on behalf of defendant, shewing the improbability that any man would attempt to commit such an offence in broad daylight, on a public road, and within such a short distance of the village of Bettws-y-coed. The Justices retired to consult together for a short time, and after admitting the public into court, Admi- ral Watling addressed the prisoner, saying that they had given his case their most careful consideration, and as they had no reason to discredit what complainant had stated on oath, they had no alternative but to convict; and although taking a lenient view of this case, and following the information, which was for common as- sault, rather than the evidence, yet they wished it to be publicly understoods that they are determined to pro- tect all women against such outrages being taken upon them, and in future to punish all brought before them and found guilty of such dastardly acts, very severely, for if such practices were allowed to prevail in the coun- try, or lightly dealt with, no female weuld feel safe to go out of her house either day or night. Fined 91 15s 6d. including costs, or in default, one month's imprisonment with hard labour. Money paid.

LLANGEINWEN The Established Church in the fair Isle of Mona has been, as all must confess, for too long a period in a dor- mant state; but it is very pleasing to witness again signs of renewed activity in her learned pastors. Here and there, even in the most rural districts, we find the Church regaining lost ground, and winning the confi- dence of the alienated middle class. May the Island be graced still more abundantly with zealous pioneers of truth. Let the glorious epoch speedily arrive when its many literally deserted but sacred fanes shall be throng- ed with assemblies of saints worshipping God in spirit and in truth." The remote parish of Llangeinwen has been most fortunate in its clergy, and the Church there is in a very satisfactory and flourishing condition—pos- sessing a devoted pastor, respectable congregation, and a choir second to none in the county. The number of communicants is considerable The other day, we vi- sited the antiquated fane of St. Ceinwen-a British saint of the 5th century-and were delighted at the orderly manner in which both the church and the churchyard are kept. Everything in and about the sacred edifice seems to be a pattern of neatness, and the adjacent pa- rishes of Llanfair-y-cwmmwd and Newborough might learn a lesson from their neighbours here. In addition to a "living" Church, this parish possesses also a promis- ing National School—mainly supported by the Rev. Ca- non Williams, the Rector of Llangeinwen and Llangaffo, and carefully superintended by himself and his faithful curate. As to its efficiency, we can do no better than quote the Report of the liev. T. Wilkinson, Her Majes- ty's Inspector of Schools, who examined it on the 18th of July last:—" The School is very well looked after the Master does his work conscientiously and efficiently, and the attainments of the children are creditable." Out of 27 children presented for examination, 26 passed in reading, 27 in writing, and 27 in arithmetic. Happy the morn when all rural parishes will acquit themselves so creditably as Llangeinwen. Long life, peace, and pros- perity to the praiseworthy Rector and his diligent and upright Curate.-Communicated.

LLANDDEUSANT. I THE NATIONAL SCHOOL.—On Tuesday, 16th instant, the pupils of the above school enjoyed a Holiday, and were treated with a substantial entertainment by the Rev. James Williams, Llanfair, as a reward for their general good conduct throughout the past year, and espeeially for the creditable manner in which they ac- quitted themselves in the late diocesan and government inspection of the schools. The place fixed upon for the day's amusements was a beautiful eminence near Porthwen, commanding a splendid view of Holyhead Bay and its numerous attractions. The weather was all that could be desired, and the children neatly attired, mustered early, being evidently bent on enjoying the good things in store for them. A procession was formed at twelve o'clock, and the children marched gaily and orderly to the appointed place, about three miles dis- tant. Flags bearing appropriate mottoes were displayed, and songs were occasionally sung during the march. On arriving at Porthwen, the young troop dispersed, and every one enjoyed himself on the beach as well as he could. At a preconcerted signal, the juveniles quickly rallied, and were ranged in order to partake of a repast whish was prepared for them on the beach. The youugsters, whose appetites were well sharpened by the long march, did ample justice to the buns, bara brith, &c., which disappeared in double quick time. Mrs. Vincent, of Carnarvon, and Mrs. Ramsey, of London, graced the party with their presence-the last named lady superintending the pie-nic. After the inward man had been fairly satisfied, several popular songs were sung under the guidance of the Rev. T. Williams, curate of Llanddeusant, under whose auspices, the proceedings of the day had been arranged. The chief singers on the occasion were—Messrs. T. Jones, Llantriaant; R. Owens and R. Jones (Glan Aled), of Llanfachreth; J. Jones, of Bodedeyrn; and H. Lewis, of Llanddeusant. The part of the entertainment being over, Mr. Hughes, the schoolmaster, addressed the meeting as follows :— Ladies and gentlemen,—Perhaps a few remarks concern- ing school affairs during the past year may not be con- sidered irrelevant on the present occasion. These re- marks may also be deemed the more excusable inasmuch as this year the new code has come into operation. The new code, as you are well aware, was forced upon mas- ters and managers, after a vigorous but an ineffectual resistance: both masters and managers imagining that it was fraught with danger to the cause of education which had received such impetus by the fostering care of Government under the administration of the old code. Great praise is due to the Rev. Canon Williams for the prominent part which he took in opposing the introduc- tion of the new system. He, no doubt, was acting upon the conviction that he was thereby defending the rights of masters, and serving the cause of elementary educa- tion. Especially was the new code calculated to operate injuriously upon schools situated in poor and thinly populated districts. This impression caused a depres- sing influence upon managers and masters who felt much apprehension as to the fate of rural schools under the new regulations. One effect of this feeling as re- gards Llanddeusant school was to reduce the staff of teachers, and employ monitors at a smaller remunera- tion than allowed by Government under the old coae. Thus, with less teaching power, and with continual anxiety, did the teachers exert themselves to produce results conformable to the requirements of the commit- tee of council; and I am glad to inform you that our efforts have been attended with success much above out expectations, as was proved by the manner in which the children acquitted themselves in the three k's before H. M. Inspector. I am also happy to state that the school is not likely to suffer so much as we at first feared while the attendance and attainments of the pu- pils continue as at present The school was mspec on Jnly 25th by the Rev. Mr. Wilkinson, and he expres- ,ed himself highly pleased with the order and general arrangements of the school as well as with the attain- mentl of the children. The following remarks were eu- tered in the master's archinent :-(' LlanddeLisalit school is in a most creditable order, and the attainments of the children carefully up to the requirements of the committee of council." The Rev. W. Johnson, one of diocesan inspectors, who visited the school on July 21st, was also well pleased with the state of the school. He reports as follows-" I have this day examined Lyan" ddeusanc school in the subjects appointed by the Ban- gor Diocesan Board of Education, and was well satisfied with all the classes. The discipline and order were very good, and the school seems in every respect to be in its usual satisfactory condition." The following sta- tistics may serve to show how far the parishioners ap- preciate our labours, and to what extent they avail themselves of the advantages offered them by the school as means of training their children in useful knowledge. The number admitted during the past year is 72. The average number in attendance for the year is 80. The number of books at present is 135. This result in such a poor place as Llanddeusant cannot fail to give satisfac- tion to managers, teachers, and -others who concern themselves about the cause of education in the locality, There is one thing more, and what I consider a very im- portant thing, I wish to add, viz., that ill this juvenile band there is not one refractory child—not one ill-dis- posed child—not one child that is not easily controlled by ordinary school discipline. As a whole, they are as nice a set of children as I could wish to have under my care. This consideration is to me a solace—a reward for the difficulties which a careful teacher often expe- riences in the discharge of his duties. The children were next addressed by the Kev. Canon Williams, who expressed himself pleased with their conduct, and im- pressed upon their minds the necessity and importance of making the best use of the advantages within their reach. After another supply of creature comforts, the children were formed into ranks, and gave three hearty cheers for the Rev. Canon Williams, for his liberality and kindness to them on that day. The National An. them was next sung, after which the children marched homewards in high glee, greatly satisfied with the day's amusements. Among those present at the party were- the Revs. Canon Williams and T. Williams, Llanddeu- sant; Mrs. Ramsey, London; Rev. Mr. Vincent, and Mrs. Vincent, Carnarvon Inglis Williams, Esq., Llan- fairynghornwy; Mrs. Edwards, and Miss Edwards, Porthwen, &c.

MENAI BRIDGE. MARRIAGE OF WILLIAM EVANS, ESQ., MER-I CHANT. Great rejoicing prevailed in this fashionable and inte- resting little town on Thursday, the 18th inst., on the occasion of the marriage of Win. Evans, Esq., merchant, of this place, eldest son of Roger Evans, Esq., Fron Gocb, Pentraetb, to Miss Annie Mills, daughter of the Rev. John Mills, F.R.A.S., London. As might have been expected, the auspicious occasion was taken advantage of by the inhabitants of the town to manifest their good feeling and respect for the fami- ly, and at an early hour the town presented a gay ap- pearance; flags and banners fluttered gracefully from the principal hotels, and from nearly all the houses in the public thoroughfares, especially Beaumaris Road and the Packet Road, some of them being tastefully orna- mented with evergreens and flowers. The flag-staff which belongs to l eSBrs. R. and H. Davies, merchants, had a most unique and beautiful appearance. At the usual hour, a salute was fired from the rock opposite the George Hotel, which echoed along the banks of the Menai, and which was continued at inter- vals during the most part of the day. On the same day, all the employes at the different es- tablishments of the firm of Messrs. Roger Evans and Son were treated to a holiday on the occasion, and were also entertained with a sumptuous dinner, which was prepared and superintended by Mr. Henry Humphreys, Bulkeley Arms. At one o'clock, upwards of 60 persons assembled and proceeded to the New Hall, where the dinner was laid. They all appeared well dressed and respectable persons; most of them wore a rosette or a white ribbon in honour of the occasion. After partaking of the re- past which was served up so well-having, no doubt, done perfect justice to the same—tin cloth was removed, and Mr. Henry Jones was voted to the chair. The Chairman congratulated all present on their meet- ing together to celebrate such a happy event Addresses suitable for the occasion were delivered by the following persona :—Mr. David Roberts, Caduant Mills; Mr. Eleazer Williams, Penrhyn Mills; Mr. T. Hughes, ditto; Mr. D. Roberts, ditto; Mr. Hum- phreys, Menai Bridge and Mr. D. Williams, Peblig Mills. Several rounds of hearty cheers were given for the Bridegroom and the Bride. The names of Mr. and Mrs. Evans, Frongoch, were re- ceived with three cheers. A vote of thanks was also given to the Misses Mans for their presence and assistance. After thanking Mr. Humphreys for the good spread provided, that gentleman returned thanks in a neat speech. There were several good songs sung during the meet- ing. The company, after acknowledging the services of the chairman in presiding, sang the Old Hundredth," which terminated this pleasant meeting. All present separated highly delighted and gratified with the proceedings, and with a feeling of gratitude to their employer for his kindness and liberality on the oc- oasion.

PENTREVOELAS. I On Sunday, August 21st, sermons were preached in this Church in aid of the National Society. In the morning by the Rev. O. Jones, the Incumbent, and in the afternoon by the Rev. J. W. Freeborn, Head Mas ter of the Llanrwst Grammar School, when the sum of £ 12 3s. lOd. was collected.

RUTHIN. As a young man named Llewelyn Jones was driving home on Sunday evening, his gig was upset, and himself thrown out. His legs were much injured, and the horse was also sadly cut, and is unable to walk at present. The young man, we are glad to say, is not very seriously hurt. On Saturday evening the town of Ruthin was thrown into a state of consternation and alarm by the vigorous ringing of the fire bells. This was to give the alarm of a fire at Caerfyllin, about a mile and a half distant. The fire engine was soon out, and a large concourse of persons proceeded thither. Happily the fire was soon got un- der and confined to the out-houses and farm buildings, most of which were destroyed. The cause of the fire appears to have been accidental. One old man suggest- ed that it arose from the live ashes of the tobacco pipe of some careless servant, remarking, "That is the gene- ral case in Wales always when there is a fire." GRAND CHORAL FESTIVAL.—The second annual meet- ing of Parochial Choirs in connection with the St. Asaph Choral Association took place at St. Peter's Church, Ruthin, on Friday (yesterday). The afternoon service was performed in English, a sermon being preach- ed by Lord Bishop of Exford. The evening service was in Welsh, when the sermon was preached by the Rev. Edward Jones, M.A., Vicar of Nantglyn. Collections were made at each service towards the funds of the As- sociation. The Cathedral choir and the choirs of ten parishes in the Diocese took part in the services. Re- freshments were provided for the choirs at the National Schoolroom; and a cold luncheon was prepared for visi- tors in the Lion I lotel. The railway company, never failing to accommodate public movements, made ar- rangements by which parties from every station on the line were enabled to attend the Festival at a low fare,— consequently a very large concourse of people were pre- sent.

I RHUDDLAN. I I THE GARDEN SOCIETY. I The annual exhibition of vegetable., fruits, now" &c in connection with the above Society was held on Fridav the 19th inst.. within the ancient walls of Rhudd Ian C?,tl,, a place renowned for its picturesque situation -tasssar?. o'clock, when ? ??'

The other designs (which are ?noti.ce?d below) also bore signs of remarkable taste and de- vice. The Show was enlivened by the sweet and melodious strains of the Rhyl Promenade Band, and some of the parties present followed them at intervals on the light fantastic toe," with much glee and spirit. In the midst of all the gorgeous scene, we saw a band of children, from the St. Asaph Workhouse, cleanly at- tired, who seemed to enjoy themselves with highly glad- dened hearts. They were treated there by W. Shipley I Conwy, Esq., who also provided them with tea in the Castle. Early in the afternoon, the Committee and others dined at the White Horse Inn. Mr. Bell, agent of the Bodrhyddan estate, presided. The health of W. Shipley Conwy, Esq., as chief promoter of the Society, was proposed by Mr. Alfred Dickson, of Chester, and enthusiastically drunk by the company. Mr. BELL responded on behalf of Mr. Conwy, who, he said, was always glad to do good to the working man. Mr Bell also proposed a vote of thanks to the exhibi- tors. Mr. A.

DENBIGH. CHRISTY'S MINSTRELS.-An excellent company ot Minstrels gavean entertainment at the Assembly Rooms, on Thursday evening, 18th inst. The audience was very fashionable and numerous. THE BAPTIST MISSIONARY SOCTETY.-Oil Tuesday evening, 23rd inst., at the Town Hall, the Rev. Thomas Evans, a Missionary from Delhi, delivered an English and Welsh address on the Missionary cause in India. A. E. Tumour, Esq., M.D., Mayor, presided. Several heathen gods were exhibited by the speaker. At the close of the meeting, a collection was made on behalf of the Baptist Missionery Society. EXCURSION FROM BANGOR.—A heavy excursion train from Bangor arrived in Denbigh on Monday morning last, which also proceeded to Kuthin. A large com- pany of the excursionists alighted in this town, and the weather being fine, they experienced much enjoyment, all admiring if not adoring the gigantie panorama of nature presented to their view in the Vale of Clwyd. Many proceeded as far the Lunatic Asylum, where they stood staring with wonder and awe; and others, choosing a scene more cheerful to the mind, entered the Old Castle, where they could see at a glance a vast extent of perhaps the most enchanting country in the world. The Denbighites, we should add, were a little amused in witnessing not a few of their Bangorian visitors return- ing home certainly not like sweeps but bearing a strik- ing resemblance to millers-being covered half-inch thick with white dust, from the lime-stone roads of Den- bigh. The black cloth of the gentlemen, and the finery of the ladies we should imagine, well required an extra brushing to assume the same beauty as before. How- ever, all left worthy of a civilized people, and we hope to see their faces here again.

A WHITE MAN SELLING HIS SONS. Sumner and his followers may prite as loudly as they please about the barbarism of slavery," and Mrs. Stowe may rack the imagination to create a monster like the brutal Legree, but we had an exhibition in this town during the examination of those recently conscript. ed, which for inhuman and brutai barbarism, we defy any slave market in the work: i,, match. A father, who had already sold one minor son as a substitute to the human shamble, where he fell a vic- tim, appeared in our town on last Monday, dragging at his heels two half-grown, ill-shaped boys. They were all the sons he had, and he had contracted to sell them both as substitutes. They had been bargained for by "loyal" men. The smaller one, almost a mere child, was prospectively the property of a loud-mouthed aud pestilent Abolitionist—a huge beast of a man, who stood 6ft. 2 in. in his stockings, and weighed over 200 lbs. This intensely loyal and patriotic fellow, when his own son, a sturdy, well-grown young man, en- listed, followed him to Chambersburg, and brought him back home, on the plea that he was a minor, and had enlisted without his father's consent. Yet he is always full of war, and eager for fighting, so long as it is at the expense of the blood of some one else than himself or his own family. Being drafted, however, and wishing to lessen the probability of such a misfortune befalling him again speedily, and impelled at the same time to save a little money, he had bargained with a brutal fa- ther to pay a less sum than 300 dols, for the body, the bones, the blood-nay, more, the life of a child. We defy the whole South to furnish an instance of such » disgusting dicker in human flesh, or, from among all the professional slave traders who have disgraced its soil, such a pair of monsters as these. There was no veil of pretended loyalty or simulated patriotism to con- ceal the naked hideousoess of this transaction. The father was actuated solely by a sordid desire for gain. The father was actuated solely by a sordid desire for gain. The purchaser was moved by the sneaking white livered cowardice that forbade his riskinghis own worth- less carcase in a war, for the prosecution of which he howls daily, and by the mean selfishness of his nature, which prompted him to make a cheap bid when barter. ing for a human victim A plot had been made up by the parties to the disgusting transaction, by which they meant to deceive the board. The boys were made to lie as to their ages, and represented them- selves as older than they really were. So immature and youthful, however, was the appearance of the little wretches, that the board refused to believe the state- ments made to them, even though the father himself lied as to their ages, in order that he might be enabled to effect a sale of his offspring. They were both re- jected for this reason, as entirely too young for the service. The overgrown human brute, who had expected to save himself in this way, sorrowfully and reluctantly paid over his money to save his cowardly carcase for a time and the wretched father, after reeling about our streets for a day or so in drunkenness, went home, much disappointed, no doubt, in being baulked in the sale of his son. There is no colouring about this story, no fictitious glossing. It is true just as we tell it, and known to be so to the very letter by many who will read this state- ment. We need make no comment. We have seen negroes sold on the block to the highest bidder, but that only involved a change of service. Here was a white man, with one son whom he had sold dead already, en- deavouring to sell two more boys, to what was almost certain death. He found Abolitionists eager and ready to become the purchasers of cheap substitutes. Let us hear no more about the barbarism of slavery, when the barbarism of this war can exhibit such a revolting spec- tacle in the light of Heaven on the free soil of Pennsyl- vania.-Ftagon Dtmterai.
