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.

ST. ASAPH. I LIVERPOOL BANKRUPTCY COURT.-Before Mr. Com- missisner Perry.—Tuesday, August 23.-In re O. J. A ttwood.-This bankrupt, described as a gentleman, re- sided in the neighbourhood of St. Asaph. His debts are X492 and assets jE270, but the latter are in the hands of the bankrupt's father as security for a debt. The bank- rupt's private expenditure during the last two years was £1600. A short examination was taken with reference to the circumstances under which the bankrupt dispos- sessed himself of his assets; but his answers not being considered satisfactory, an adjournment was ordered to the 27th September, for the purpose of obtaining from the bankrupt's father some explanation of his trans- actions with the son. Mr. Roberts, of St. Asaph, appeared for the assignees, and Mr. Evans for the bankrupt.

Richard Williams, a labouring man, exhibited a neatly executed model spire, of the Cefn Rocks stone; and a floricultural design of a harp, by H. Roberts Bod- rhvddan, attracted much attention, and an extra pr,ze was awarded to the maker as a mark of ,tdmiration of his ingenuity. 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.
