Lord Newborough, to the Rev. Robert Williams, late Vicar of Clynnog, as a small me- mento of his valuable services during his residence in that ptrish. March 15, 1865." It mast be highly gra- tifying to the feelings of Mr. Williams to find his effi- cient services thus handsomely acknowledged by high and low; and his numerous friends heartily wish him and his family every happiness aud blessing in his uew sphere.

DOLGELLEY. RAILWAY COMMUNICATION WITH DCLGELLEY. On Tuesday at noon a public meeting, convened by the Iligh Sheriff, was held at the County Hall, Dol- gellev, to consider the Corwen and Bala and Bala and Dolgelley Railways Bill, 1S65. The special object of the meeting will be found fully stated iu the opening remarks of the High Sheriff, who, of course, occupied the cliair. The meeting was numerously attended, and we no- ticed the following amongst the gentlemen present:— Mr. W. W. E. Wynne, M.P.; Colonel Bunbury; Mr. Charles Edwards, Dolserau Mr. Lewis Williams, Fron- wnion; Mr. Lewis Williams, Bryntirion; Yen. Arch- deacon White; Rev. J. Jones, Barnioiitli Rev. O. Williams; Kev. Mr. Thomas; Messrs. J. Jones, Vach- ddeiliog: C. B. Clough; Basset; W. Griffith; J. Jones, solicitor, Dt)!gelley; W. Williams, Froiiwniou Mr. 1) Pugh, solicitor, Dolgelley; G. P. Williams, solicitor Dolgelley; E. Walker, solicitor, Dolgelley, &c. The HIGH SHERIFF said-It may be agreeble to the meeting that I should explain the reason why it was called, and the mode in which we intend to take the matter before us into consideration. As high sheriff, I, of course, feel the deepest possible interest in everything connected with the welfare of the county in all its dis- tricts. I feel that nothing can more entirely conduce to the prosperity of the county than the speedy intro- duction of railways, from whatever side they come, and whoever may be the persons that bring them. We are grateful to those who bring them, and we shall welcome them from whatever si le they happen to come. I beg it distinctly to be understood that this is a meeting amicable to all parties. Our desire is, to discuss the prospect of railways reaching this town, and it is far from our desire to have anything said, to-day, that could be considered hostile to any parties. It is our wish to discuss the matter amicably, and there are those present who will be able to lay it before you more fully than I can. As high sheriff I received a requisition in the following terms, so numerously and so respectably signed that it was impossible for me, holding the posi- tion I now do, to decline to call a meeting-in fact I most willingly convened it. The following were the terms of the requisition :—"We, the undersigned land- owners, inhabitants, and others, deeply interested in procuring railway communication between Bala and Dol- gelley, request that you will call a meeting at the earli- est day possible at the Town Hall, Dolgelley, for the purpose of ascertaining the present position of the Bill before Parliament, which is believed to have for its pur- port the extension of time allowed to make the said railway over four years, which is considered highly detrimental to the interests of all concerned." The requisition is signed with nearly forty names, com- mencing with that of our member Mr. Wynne, and including magistrates, landowners, solicitors, professional gentlemen, the clergy, merchants, and tradesmen, all of whom, by their position in life, form a most influential body, and are peculiarly interested in everything that concerns the welfare of this county. Having received this numerously and influentially signed requisition, I proceeded to hx an early, and, I hope, convenient day for the meeting, which I convened in the following terms:—"Corwen and Bala and Bala and Dolgelley Railways Bill, Session 1865. In compliance with a requisition addressed to me, sigued by numerous land- owner, inhabitants of Dolgelley, and others, I hereby convene a public meeting for the consideration of the above Bill, to be held at the County Hall, Dolgelley, on Tuesday, March 28th, 1865, at two o'clock precisely." You observe that the meeting is convened for the consideration of the Hill named, and for that purpose only. As a part of the consideration of the Bill, I will explain to you very shortly, and others will afterwards explain to you more fully, how we stand at present. In 1862 a Bill was passed in Parliament to authorise the construction of a railway from Bala to Dolge.Iley, and for other purposes. In order to support the Bill, many of us here present did our very best in London. We did so under the impression that it was the most direct line from Dolgelley to the manufacturing districts and the north. We gave the Bill our warmest support so far as our powers went: we attended the committee, and gave evidence. The Bill passed, and the time allowed for the completion of the works was five years and if the Bill were to be carried out in its integrity the railway to Dolgelley would be completed in 1867. Therefore it is highly important for us to observe if this new Bill now before Parliament alters the position in which we stood with reference to the Bill of 1862. The present Bill, I observe, is not in the hands of the same agents or solicitors as that of 1862. I find that the present Bill is in the hands of Messrs. Longueville, Williams, and Jones, of Oswestry, solicitors, and Messrs. Martin and Leslie, agents. One would naturally like to know whether the change of the agents and solicitors has changed anything in our prospects with reference to the Bala and Dolgelley Railway. The object of the present Bill is stated to be "to authorise an extension of the Corwen and Bala Railway; for abandoning portions of the Corwen and Bala and Bala and Dolgelley Rail- ways, and for other purposes." In clause 5 the railway which is termed the Extension II ail way is interpreted as "a Railway commencing by a junction with the Cor- wen and B;tli ltiilw,,ty, in the parish of Llanfor or Llan- fawr, and terminating by a junction with the Bala and Dolgelley Railway, in the parish of Llangower, all in the county of Merioneth." And clause 9 provides that "the said extension railway shall be completed within four years from the passing of this Act;" that is to say, from the passing of this new Act, which will probably pass in July, 1865. The extension of time would thus carry us on to July, 1869, and the portion they seek for as the Extension Railway need not be completed till that time. This Extension Railway is the short cut near the town of Bala. They have given up the spur which ran in the direction of Festiniog, and, abandoning that portion of the original line, they take a straight cut from the point where the first sod was turned in the spring, as we all remember. [The chairman here pro- duced an ordnance map, more clearly to explain his remarks] If this portion is to form an iutregal part of the railway from Corwen to Dolgelley, the question is, how are we to get through communication before 1869 ? I am only asking for information. If the mak- ing of this portion of the line tQ which I have referred is to be postponed till 1869, how are we to get through communication before that time ? Our object in calling the meeting is to obtain information on that point. I have every reason to believe that we have no cause to fear, but when the interests of this county are so bound up in railways, I am sure that the gentlemen who sgined the requisition were perfectly justified in requesting me as high sheriff to call a meeting to consider the matter. Let us understand what is to be the operation of this Bill. Let us understand whether, by the extension of time respecting this portion of the line, which portion is four miles long, we are to lose the through traffic from Corwen to Dolgelley up to the time to which I have referred. I shall now ask the gentlemen in this room, who are more conversant with these matters than I am—Mr. Wynne, who has taken great interest in the railway throughout, and who was present in the com- mittee room, and others—to give us all the information they can. At the same time I will end as I began- speaking as high sheriff, and in that capacity as chairman of this meeting, it must not be supposed that there is the slightest desire on anybody's part to favour one party or another, or to throw any obstacles in the way of any •jersons who seek to bring railways into this county. We only desire to know how we stand. (Applause.) Mr. W. W. E. WYNNE, said it seemed to him clearly a most important thing to ascertain how the new Bill would affect them- whether the company really did intend to defer making the Extension Line for four years, and if so how they intended to carry the traffic over the break. He did not think the people of Dolgelley nced fear very much, because the companies who were making the two lines-the West Midland and the Great Western—were friendly, and therefore would afford every facility for common traffic to Dol- gelley. Still they ought to ascertain how the break was likely to affect them. He was very strongly in favour of the line to Bala, and was now disappointed that there should be anything like the idea of putting off its com- pletion. He gave evidence in favour of the Bill, and was a good deal laughed at for it, and he now felt bound publicly to recant what he said about the Welsh Coast Railway. (Laughter and applause.) He could not have believed such progress could have been nude as had been made with the Welsh Coast. (Applause.) He was now living within five mile, of a railway, and he felt under the greatest possible obligation to those who had made it. (Cheers. I With them in the neighbour- hood of Towyn the Welsh Coast Line was the most im- portant, but with the people in the ueighbourhood of IJarmouth and Dolgelley the line which was of the first consequence was one to Rnabon and so on to London. lie thought the meeting should request some one to I writeto the agents of the Bill to ascertain what was the object of the postponement of so very small a portion of the line—he could not at all understand what it meant. If they had intended to postpone the whole line it would have been a different thing. Why were thev going to postpone the making of that little bit of the line for f,)ui- yeai-, The CHAIRMAN said lie ought to have mentioned, that owing to an unfortunate accidental circumstance he had been prevented from reading a number of letters which reached him that morning, and some of which doubtless referred to the present meeting. Mr. CHABLKS EDWARDS said he had very narrowly followed the progress of the Bill ever since its introduc- tion. He was one of the original supporters of the line, and naturally took a deep interest in it, not only for personal reasons, but because of the advantages which lie believedjjit would c infer on the country. There was no doubt of one fact, that they wanted a railway, and therefore they would really direct their attention to the line which wuu1,1 take them most direct to England. Tlie direct communication between Dolgelley and Eng- land must be eventually via Bala; and he trusted no- thing would be said at the meeting antagonistic to one party or another, but that they would give their atten- tion solely to obtaining direct communication with Eng- land. ( Hear, hear.) The Bill now going before Par- liament had a very peculiar object—an extension of time to make a railway rather less than that proposed by the original Bill. That seemed rather anomilous, and had natuially created much discussion and there- fore h" thought they had done right to meet there, solely for the purpose of ascertaining what the real merits of the present Hill were. He did not think it at all out of place that they should seek for information, as they in that district took the pains to support the original Bill, in opposition to the Welsh Coast, which was supported by the London and North Western, and which had Mr. Savin for the contractor, and also in op- position to an independent line, originally, he believed, brought forward by Mr. Thomas, of Bala, and which line, it was said, had the capital subscribed. Whether they did right or wrong in the course which they adopted they would not discuss. The Bill was obtained. Perhaps when Mr. Thomas brought forward his independent line, the people of Bala were not actuated by the same spirit as that which actuated them now. A change had come over them, and whereas at one time they were not de- sirous of having a railway, now one and all were in favour of it. (Applause.) Though to a certain extent, he thought, they had not been fairly dealt with, yet they supported the Bill; and he did not doubt, if they found out the character of the new Bill, they would be quite as willing to support it now as then, if it had for its ob- ject the one they sought—direct communication with England. The progress of railways there they would not discuss. Their worthy member was certainly wrong, and they were all wrong, in thinking they should not hare the railway which had been so wonderfully elaborated round the Welsh coast by Mr. Savin, who, through good report and evil report, and over almost insurmountable difficulties, had carried out the line. (Cheers.) He (Mr. Edwards) believed that in a few weeks the engine would be running into Dolgelley from the Welsh coast side. (Applause.) It was a curious fact, that the first railway in the county was from Aberdovey to Llwyngwril, and any who had prophesied it would have been deemed de- mented. (Laughter.) Those funny things did happen, and as people interested in the welfare of the county, they ought to seek for all the information they could get respecting any Bill which had for its object railway com- munication. The Chairman had drawn their attention to some of the clauses of the present Bill. He {Mr. Ed- wards) did not think there was much significance in it. He had full) considered the Bill, and had but one opinion about it; but since he came down into the county hie had found that an immense difference of opinion existed respecting it. He was convinced that the Great Western intended to make the line; and he believed if they as- serted their rights, and asked to have the Bill of 1862 carried out in its integrity, they would have the railway made in the old channel. He thought it highly neces- sary that they should assert their rights, and confer with the promoters of the Bill, and ascertain whether they merely purposed postponing the deviation, and not the whole line, and not extending the five years to seven for completing the line in its integrity. The Chairman had not called their attention to clause 7, which provided— That the powers for the compulsory purchase of lands by this Act conferred bpon the Company shall not be exercised after the expiration of three years from the pas- sing of this Act." That and other clauses seemed to favour the idea that the Company were seeking to post- pone the whole line, and he proposed that they should have a clear understanding on the point. Something had been said about the change of agents and solicitors, but he had received letters from Mr. Burchell which would show that no significance was to be attached to that change. He (Mr Edwards) might state that for two or three years he had been in constant communication with the Messrs. Burchell, and had always found them most ready to afford information, and steady to the point, with no desire to change. So late as within a month he had had a communication with Mr. Brassey, who had told him that he had been in communication with Mr. Robertson and Mr. Fowler. During the whole of last autumn it was not the time for railways to be promoted the money market was so tight that contractors were not desirous of pushing their works and there was a story of one most eminent contractoi who went out of town and left directions that not a single wheelbarrow was to be purchased. (Laughter.) One letter which he received from Mr. Burchell was dated March 23rd, and was to the following effect 5, Broad Sanctuary, Westminster, S. W., 23rd March, 1865. Mv dear Sir.—I did not answer your letter of the 18th (which only reached me on Tuesday morning,) either that day or Saturday because I was anxious to give you some definite information. I am happy to say that 1 have to- day settled with the Great Western Company the con- tract for working the railway subject to the approval of some very minor details, which I have not yet been able to see the proper authorities about. I hope that. it will be sealed and exchanged, not later than next week, and that immediately after that you will see the works on the line commenced and vigorously proceeded with. I send you by book-post, as you request, a copy of the Bill, of which I have not the conduct, but in which you will see that there is no extension of time for the completion of the authorised railway sought, and I may say that uu- less unforseen circumstances should arise, I see no reason why the line should not be completed within the period limited by the Company's Acts. I very much regret that it is quite out of my power to attend the meeting at Dolgelley on Tuesday next, and with the knowledge of what the contents of the Bill are which must be possessed in the county, I cannot utyler-< stand what the object of the meeting is as it must be clear that any adverse expression of opinion by such a meeting is more calculated to impede than to Msist us in the construction of the railway. I must ask you, therefore, with the information which 1 now give you and the Bill in your hands, to see that no impediment is put in our way at that meeting by parties who may have other objects to serve. I am, my dear sir, yours truly, JAS. BORCHELL, jun. Charles Edwards, Esq., Dolserau, Dolgelley, Merionethshire. The other letter was dated March 27th, and was aa fol- lows:- 6, Broad Sanctuary, S.W., 27th March, 1865. My dear Sir,—I am much obliged for your kind letter of the 25tli instiiit. No one can be more anxious than 1 am, as a mineral owner at Dolgelley, to have a direct communication to Dolgelley by railway and inasmuch as only two years now remain for constructing the line between Dolgelley and Bala it is idle to imagine that when that line is con- structed there will be, so far as the Bala and Dolgelley Railway Company is concerned, any delay in completing the through communication. I have every reason to believe that the Great TWTrestern Company are really anxious to have that line completed with as little delay as possible, and they certainly at the present time are not only not throwing any impediments in the way, but are materially facilitating our move- ments. With regard to the circumstance that you allude to, of the present Bill not being in my hands, the explanation T l i t-. Bill provides for a is of the simplest character The Bill provides for a material deviation and improvement of the Corwen and Bala line, near Bala. It scarcely affects the Bala and Dolgelley railway at all, but in order to avoid the ex- pense of a second Bill, we took advantage of that Bill being introduced by the Corwen and Bala Railway Com- pany to include the abandonmeut of such portion of the Bala and Dolgelley Railway as the deviation would ren- der unnecessary, and also of that portion of the line which crossed Bala GreeD, and terminated in the town of Bala, an abandonmant which I brieve was much de. sired by the inhabitants of B ila themselves. If there had been anything in the Bill seriously affecting the Bala and Dolgelley Company, you may ba sure I should have taken a control over it. I fully expect that the contract for the construction of the line will be let in the present week, and that the agreement with the Great Western Company will also be sealed and exchanged within the same period. I know not what further assurance I can give you, but if after this explanation any adverse action should he taken at the meeting, I shall feel convinced that it can only be at the instigation of parties who have other objects in view. Your very truly, J AS. BURCHELL, Jun. Chas. Edwards, Esq., Dolterau, Dolgelley. Mr. J. JONES (Vaeliddeiliog) -I will tell you what suggestion you could have made—instead of taking four years—why not complete it in the original time ? Applause.) Air. CHARLES EDWARDS said before sitting down he would suggest to the High Sheriff that a committee should be formed, not at all antagonistic, of gentlemen who would be in town during the parliamentary session, and who might take an interest in seeing the Bill worked out in its integrity. Mr. WILLIAM JONES, solicitor, said his friend Mr. Ed- wards and he were on different sides originally, he (Mr. Jones) promoting the line which the new Bill proposed to make, and Mr. Edwards promoting the Great Western, which then sought to make a line to Bala Green, which lino they now wanted to abandon. lie (Ilr. J,,nei) be- lieved that if the parties whom lie supported, Mr. Thomas, and Mr. Savin, had obtained their Bill they would have had aline b» this time. (Hoar, hear.) He was before the committee for twenty days, seeking on behali of the young squire of Rhiwlas to get the.u to adopt the very line which they now wanted to get. One could hardly believe it, but it was that very deviation which they were now abandoning which induced the committee to favour their Bill instead of Mr. Savin's, because of the alleged great advantages of communica- tion with Festiniog, though the evidence showed that abetter line could be made from Corwen to Festiniog. However, they carried their Bill, and now the desire of the meeting must be, to promote a rail way to Dolgelley by any means in their power. Mr. Burchell was a most honourable and high minded man, and would not state that which he did not believe and know to be the inten- tions of the company. Therefore he (Mr. Jones) hoped they would give liini credit fir all lie sad. He Orr. Jones) should be in Lon(loti, aii(I should be very happy to contribute in every way to his friend's motion, and to do all he could to promote the speedy execution of that great undertaking to Dolgelley. (Applause.) Mr. JONES (Vachddeilog), said he had nothing to say e cept that he thought the parties who were promoting the lines from Corwen to Dolgelley were exceedingly wise, for they were adopting the line which he, some years ago, did all in his power to promote. (Laughter.) It was very curious that the project he supported was overthrown mainly in consequence of that little devia- tion into the town of Bala, instead of which deviation his friends and he went straight on. Men had grown wiser since, and the opposite party had adopted the very line which he and others pointed ont; so that now they were all united. (Applause.) He should be very glad to promote iu every way the line now before them. He must say that Mr. Edwards's explanation was not satis- factory to him. Why did they want four years to com- plete the line ? The deviation to Bala was an extensive piece of business—there were two bridges over two rivers, and a very long viaduct at the lake, which works would take a long time to complete. Now there was no bridge at all, but a most easy, level country, and yet they wanted an extension of time. (Laughter.) Mr. EDWARDS deprecated the idea that it was his ex- planation. Mr. J ons- Well, Mr. Burchell's explanation through Mr. Edwards. Mr. WYNNE said it did seem extraordinary that four years were required to make the alteration. He begged to second Mr. Edward's motion, that a committee friendly to the companies should be appointed to as- certain what was going on from time to time. He had great confidence in the solicitors to the Bill, Messrs. Longueville, Williams, and Jones, who did a great deal of private business for him. Colonel BUNBURY asked in whose hands was the pro- posed extension. Mr. W. JONEs-The Corwen and Bala Company's. Colonel BUNBURy-Then Mr. Burchell has nothing to do with it. Mr. EDWARDS remarked that merging the two Bills into one, as had been done in this case, might have the effect of delaying the whole scheme for four years. Mr. D. PUGH observed that the original compulsory powers expired in June next, though they went for fresh compulsory powers in this Bill. Mr. J. JONES, solicitor, after adverting to the fact that the original compulsory powers would expire on the 30th, of June next, asked if any communications had been going on with regard to the purchase of land. He understood that none whatever had been going on. Mr. W. JONES said as far as concerned the Nannau estate there had not been the slightest communication on the subject. Mr. D. Puoix-And there are now only three months left. The CHLIRMkx-Witli regard to myself, I can only say that I have a small property through which the line would and no communication has been made to me on the subject. Mr. J. JONES (Vachddeiliog) said it was a curious fact that they wanted an extension of time to make the deviation, and now they wanted an extension of time to purchase the land, whilst the land upon which that deviation was made had been long ago purchased and paid for! The trustees of a gentleman, who was then a minor, would not allow the sod to be cut till the'land was purchased and paid for. M. C. EDWARDS then proposed the following resolu- tion :—"That this meeting, being most desirous to have railway communication between Dolgelley and Bala as speedily as possible, appoint the following gentle. men as a committee to act in L.)udon Ni r. Wynne, M.P., Mr. Richards, High Sheriff, Mr. Edwards, Dol- iernau, Mr. Jones, Vachddeiliog; who shall confer with the present promoters of the Bill now in I'arliament, called the Corwen and Bala and Bala and Dolgelley Rail- ways Bill, and ascertain from them whether such Bill has for its object an extension of time over four years for making the Bala and Dolgelley Railway, or only to apply to the deviation at Bala; or on the contrary, whether, according to the letter received and read from Mr. Burchell, it is their intention immediately to com- mence and vigorously proceed with the works, and that such committee shall report accordingly." Mr. WYNNE seconded the resolution, which was car- ried unanimously. The Rev. J. JONES proposed that the name of Mr. D. Williams, of Deudraeth Castle, be added, as chairman of the Aborystwith and Welsh Coast Company. Mr. BASSETT seconded the motion. Mr. EDWARDS said he had not the slightest objection to add Mr. Williams's name, though it was rather going into the enemy's camp. He was convinced, however, that when the line joined at Dolgelley they would be feeders to one another, and not opponents. He was not going into the merits and demerits of the railways, but there was no doubt they would bring to Dolgelley very large quantities of two very useful commodities, of which they had none, coal and limestone, which would be quite sufficient to make the traffic pay. But besides that they had two articles to give in return, slate and iron- stone, and those four articles alone were quite sufficient to. pay a very remunerative dividend on the Bala and Dolgelley line. In addition to these things they would have large numbers of tourists in the summer time, and he did not think they were asking the gentlemen in London to put down their money for any abortive scheme, but for one which would be very remunera- tive. At the suggestion of several gentlemen, the Rev. J. Jones withdrew his nomination of Mr. D. Williams, who it was thought inadvisable to place on the committee, in consequence of his being connected with the Welsh Coast Company. Mr. C. EDWARDS said he should have been very happy to serve with Mr. Williams, who was an excellent man of business, but he was not quite certain whether Mr. Williams would have served. He (Mr. Edwards) had a conversation with him a few days before, and he was very much opposed to the meeting. The CHAIRMAN said they might congratulate them- selves on the excellent good feeling which had char- acterised the meeting, and yet they ended as they began, by saying that the new Bill was incomprehen- sible. A vote of thanks to the Chairman, carried on the motion of Mr. Wynne, concluded the proceedings.— Oswedry Advertiser.

PENTREVOELAS. FUNERAL OF THE LATE C. W. G- WnlNE, ESQ., Of VOEL.JLS. -A gloom has been thrown over this parish by the death of the above gentleman, which mournful event took place on the 21st lIlt., at his town residence, 46, Portman-square. The news arrived here the follow- ing morning, and caused universal feelings of regret and sorrow among the inhabitants of this parish, where, of late, he use(I to spend the chief part of the year. The deceased gentleman was in his 85th year. He was the eldest son of the Hon. Charles Finch, of the House of Aylesford, who married the eldest daughter and heiress of W. Wynne, Esq., Voelas. Seldom have we to chroni- cle the demise of one so universally respected and be- loved. No member of the House of Voelas has ever been more esteemed by his tenantry. His quiet and unostentatious manner—his uniform kindness—and his Christian deportment, ell leared him to all. His liberality was great, tli,)Lig!i in doing goo 1 he always shunned publicity. Truly applicable to him were the words of Divine inspiration—" When the eor heard me, then it blessed me; and when the eye saw me, it gave witness to m. because I delivered the poor that cried, and the f itherless, and him that had none to help him. The blessing of him that was ready to perish came upon me and I caused the widow's heart t,) sing for jo; His love for the Church, of which lie was so worthy a mem- b ;r, was evinced by building the Church at Voelas, and more than doubling the endowment, besides contribut- ing munificently towards religious, charitable, and Cdll" cational objects in various parts of the country. Mani- festing the power of religion in his conversation, he lived as a Christian gentlemen, died rich in faith and hope of the Gospel, and L; tine to the grave in a full age, like as a shock of corn conies in in its season." Mr. Wynne is succeeded in his estates by hi. eldest son, Chas. Wynne Finch, Esq., M.P. The body of the deceased gentleman was consigned to the family vault in Pentrevoelas Church on Wednesday last. The relatives, friends, and tenants took pirt in the sorrowful solemnity, in the following order of pro- cession :— Pentrevoelas Rev. J, Evans, LUnllechid O. Jones, Esq., Carnarvon. Five Bjarers.

O. Jones and the Rev. John Evans, and few dry eyes were to be seen among the immense crowd, and one heartfelt pang of the deepest regret was felt by all when quitting the consecrated ground. Vain, then, each tear which deluges the cheek, Vain the regret which tempts the heart to break, Light sorrows talk-but infinite distress Sink into silence, dumb and spiritless. Yet though our weak, fond wishes can no more Recal his spirit -or his life restore, Still, let us fix his bright example high, Live as he lived—and, like him, learn to die." We subjoin the following, which appeared In the Guardian of Wednesday last We have to record the demise of C. W. G. Wynne, Esq of 46, Portman-square, and Voelas, Denbighshire, which took place at his town residence, on the 21st inst., in the 85th year of his age. He for a short period was M.P. for the county of Carnarvon. Afterwards he re- tired from public life, and latterly lived chiefly at his J family seat in Wales, where he won the esteem and af- fection of his neighbours and dependants by his many acts of unostentatious kindness and liberality. About six years ago he entirely rebuilt the parish church of Pentrevoelas (of which living he was the patron), as a memorial to his second son, who fell at the battle of Inkermann besides which he contributed munificently towards the restoration of several neighbouring churches. In a word, he was ever foremost and ready to assist in any work of charity and benevolence and we may truly say that in him the Church has lost a firm and sincere friend.

REVIEW OF THE BRITISH CORN TRADE DURING THE PAST WEEK. j I We have certainly had March winds throughout the past week ) of unusual violence and keenesa; but as there has been with ) them an admixture of snow, the process of dtying the surface of the soil has been slow, and everything h is been kept backward. I The wheat plant in the cloverleys has suffered severely, some I having been ploughed up as hopeless; but where it was strong I on the fallows, but little damage ha*,been done. A general thiu- ness is now coniplaine(I of, and without some genial temperature there is no prospect of a heavy crop, and no certainty of an or- dinary one. The same weather having been experienced on the Continent, like fears have been expressed as to the result, and manv markets, have consequently hardened in value, though the long depression that has ruled'has made all buyers very cautious, and the sfurit of speculation has still been dormant. Three and- a-half per-cent. however, after the enjoyment of nine-to ten per cent. may suggest the possibility of a better occupation of cap- ital. and when an article of large consumption to depressed to rates which the beat farming cannot make otter thMl ft loss to grower, tin natural conclusion Is tint such a state of things can- not last. The hUtory of prices for a century and more shows that nothinghas fluctuated in value more than wheat, and thaj extremes are often in close neighbourhood, so that reason as well as experience are both in favour of an advance beyond the ts gained in the week. The French markets have generally ad. vanced another shilling, though Marseills on the expectation of supplies from the East, in consequence of favourable winds, has been calm. In Belgium, the slight upward movement con- tinues, as well as in Holland; and if the late frosts we have had should again partially close the Baltic, as our foreign supplies keep at about the present ratio, and farmers at homo become as chary of sending thsir produce as their brethren bein to be ab- road. spring will bring with it a more cheerful state of trade. Hambro', without foreign inquiry, has been rising the best Dan- zic samples have gained lately in value Is to 2s per qr. and Venice under its Teutonic spull, ai wn as Trieste, notes some improvement. The fall of gold has further lowered the prices of breadstuff's in New York, but it is worth attention to note the failure of deliveries.at Milwaukie and Chicago. ♦ —

Were the practice still pursued of awarding a Civic crown to that Citizen who essentially ameliorated the condition, or saved the lives of his fellow-men, assuredly should such an honour be bestowed upon Mr. White, who by the invention of his Moc- Main Patent Lever Truss, has more importantly benefited the human race, than perhaps any man of his age. Rupture, in all its painful forms. permeates so extensively throughout all clas- ses, that any perfect remedy must be deemed a public blessing and so. indeed is Nir. White's Truss regarded, as well by those medical men who direct its employment, as by the many thou- sands who happily are enabled to wear it. It is invariably and universally regarded as a most ingenious, comfortable and per- fect contrivance"; obtainable too, at an incredibly moderate price. Our readers will find it elsewhere noticed in our columns. HOLLOWAY'S OINTMENT AND PILLS.—Old and young.— These noble remedies cannot be too highly extolled for the be. neficial influence they exert over the many maladies incidental to all ages and to all classes. Of sores, ulcers, bad legs, and skin diseases, which secretly undermine the health and render life a prolonged torture, may be readily removed by the aid of this very cleansing and healing Ointment, assisted by Holloway's purifying Pills. These remedies comprise in the smallest com- pass the best means of preventing, or removing, the greater number of diseases which afflict mankind, through their ignor. ance, negligence, hardships, or over-indulgence. They are, therefore, earnestly recommended to those who suffer from the indescretions of youth. The North Wales Chronicle is registered for transmission Abroad.

The usual quarterly practice with the Rocket Appara- tus belonging to the Coast Guards on the Amlwch Station, took place at the Port on Wednesday last. The men under the command of the chief officer, Mr. A.

The hawser con- nected with the rocket line was drawn through the wa- ter, and secured to the rocks above, on each side of the creek; and to exhibit the mode of working, a man was passed along in the sling basket, from one end to the other of the suspended cable.

CARNARVON. PRIVATE BILLS IN PARLIAMENT.—CAR- NARVON NEW WATER BILL. This Bill camo on for consideration on Monday last before the Committed in No. 6 Committee Room of the Home of Commons, present Sir ill. W. Ridley, chair- mail Mr. Welly, Major Gairn, and Mr. Percy Bunell. Mr. Richards appeared for the promoters of the Bill, and Mr. Merryweather for the London and North Western Railway Compauy against the Bill. This was a Bill for enabling the Local Board of the borough of Carnarvon to supply their district with water. The liill gave power to the Local Board to con- struct wate works, &c., to obtain a supply of water from the river Gwyrfai and other streams within the boundaries of their district, and to supply water within the town and borough of Carnarvon, and to vessels in the harbour of Carnarvon, and the Railway Companies at or near Carnarvon. For the purposes of the Act, the Board asked for powers to tak, lands for the execution of the neeefsary works. '1 he Bill promised that the works should be completed within 5 years after the passing of the Act. The Board in addition to any other sums which they may borrow under the powers of the Public Health Acts, may from time to time, for the purposes of the Act, borrow sums not exceeding Xi 5,000. All moneys received by the Board under the powers of the Act shall be applied as follows :-I-t,-Ili paying the costs, charges, and expenses attending or incident to the applying for and passing of the Act. 211(ily,jil paying the interest from time to time due upon all moneys borrowed by the Board under the powers of the Act, and from the time being remaining due. 3rdly,— In contracting the works by this Act anthorised. 4\h\In setting apart and appropriating the sinking fluid for the payment, of mortgages, othly, In main- taining and extending the water works from time to time, as occasion shail require, and in carrying the Act into execution.

Ati(I the reduction of the rates and charges by the Act authorised to be made. Mr. Hicl a -,It said he appeared on behalf of the Local Board of the borough of Carnarvon, the promoters of the Bill for supplying the borough of Carnarvon with water. His friend" Mr. Merryweather appeared on be- half of the London and North Western Railway for 111.3 station of Carnarvon. In point of fact there was uo j opposition to the preamble of the Bill, only opposition to some of the clauses. He proposed to put a witness into the box to ,ay that the preamble was true. Mr Richard Davids said he was a land surveyor at Carnrrvon, and he could say that the preamble of the liill was true. He knew the Railway Station at Car- narvon. It was not occupied as a domestic residence. Mr. Richards said the London and North Western Railway Company objected to the 22 clause of the Bill as follows-" The Hoard may furnish to any person a supply ot water for other than domestic purposes within the limits of this Act, by meter or otherwise, for such water rent or remuneration, and on such terms and conditions, as may be agreed on between him and the Board." Mr. Merryweather, for th? London and North West- ern Railway Company, contended that the Company should be exempt from the operations of the Act, as they had water enough to supply their engines, &c. The CHAIRMAN said the difficulty might be got of by inserting the following words in the claiige Tile Buard shaH furnish on request, in writing to any person a supply of water for other than domestic purposes within the limits of the Act, for 6d. per 1000 gallons for any quantity not less than 150,000 gallons. The clause as amended was sstisfactory to the learned counsels on both sfdes. The Preamble of the Bill was proved, and the clauses were then gone through and agreed to with some slight modifications.
