The witti.'s.s examined on the previous were again called, and their evidence wn» read to them, which th y confirmed. The gist of the whole is to the effect that Mr. Lunt lost mauv articles since he had employed Manila Da- vies, and last w-k he missed an uniinishc l jacket, which wis being made to order. li,, tile servant.. e":ieerning it, and observing that Martha Va vies blushed, and h id a guilty counteuance, he searched fa* r b ,x in which lie found a great many new articles out of his shop, lie al-o .searched K ichel Williams's box, but f.-iiii(i u me but her own property in it. Bt" twceli th" bed and the p.iliasse, lie found lie. blankets I and sheets, which he identified, from the fact that they ln-re his own private mark. Subsequently he sent one of his assistants t • the house of Mary Kobwts, who was in the habit occasionally of charring in Mr. I.nnts h ins1, An enquiry was mile if the girls had any boxes tie re. Mary Uoberts slid there was a box belonging to Martha Davies, in the kitchen —which .-lie pointed out to the young man. The box was full of goods. Mr. t.'t h <. 'v"?" S '"?"' L'i'it afterwards arrived there, and asked if there were R) Id s brought by either of the girls upstairs. Maty Hq. berts replied that there were not. Mr. l.uut, however, In* consent, went to the bedroom to search. He found several including an arm chair, &c. Mary Roh"rts then said that, Martha Davie had her she was going t« get married, ami the goods, which sh" said had been honestly bought, were brought there to keep until she had a house of her own. Mr. Lunt searched again, and in a cupboard found a loaf, which btire his name, scamped in larg" letters and he -iti,l to h,'I', ,¡I, Mary Huberts, you could not have taken this 1,on" to bo k, pt for Martha Davies." She re- plied—" No 1 am very s,,rry 1 took it." Mr. Lllut reo turned home, and a jased the gins of the rlllllwry, Martha said — Indeed, master, I am very sorry, and if vou will par,Ion me this time, I will never do it again. j Ml'.

(Applause.) We are all aware too, that lie holds a high and important office in the County—(the oilice ot' Coroner) and the way iu wliiea he h>t-i conducted the business uf that ajipointuient i-s a suilicient guarantee that his services as Mayor of Den- uigh will be of a "aluable and satisfactory character. (Appiause.) I feel assured that when the time arrive* fur liiiii t,) vacate the chair we shall nut regret having selected him as our mayor. Without trespassi^ ng tur- ther upon your time, I beg to propose that Evan Pitfce, Iwp, M.O., be elected Mayor of the lioiuugh of Deu- bigh for the ensuing year. (Applause.) Mr. G .Id Edwards—I have very great pleasure m se- conding the proposition made by Alderman Owen. I am sure it must be satisfactory to Dr. Pierce to feel that not only he takes the uiliee with the goodwill of a few of us, but that it is the unanimous wish of the Council that he should take upon himself the duties of mayor. (Applause.) We all know Dr. Pierce's engagements are very numerous—and so it is with most of us we all go through a heavv ordeal in life, but I ventuie to pio- pheaywith my friend Mr. Owen, that when his tenu of otlice expires, we shall feel that no man could have dis- charged itafanctious more conscientiously or endea- voured more honestly to perform the duties to the satis- faction ot* his neighbours, than Dr. Pierce. (Applause.) We must judge all people as we have found them iu their early diys, aud through life. in electing Dr. Pierceas our mayor, we are electing a man who was hJrll in the borough, and always resided here—there- fore, we are no str:ngers to his feelings and his virtues. (Applause.) Of course Dr Pierce is human, as we all are, and therefore liable to err but I will Hay again that no one could take the civic chair of this borough with a greater wish than Dr. Pierce to fill it sincciely and conscientiously. (Applause.) The proposition was carried m m. con. The newly-elected Mayor, in I hardly know how to express myself npou this occa- sion. First of ;kll, I beg to thank you for the confidence you have contided ill nae in electing me to this impor- tant position,and especially to Mr. Owen and Mr. Gold Edwards for the complimentary way in which they have (if me. I hope 1 shall not in this new capacity do anything which may cause them to change their opinion of me. (Hear, hear.) At the same time. I must say that I accept this honour with a great deal of reluctance. The reason why I refused it for about twenty years was because I feared my professional engagements, and other matters, would interfere with the responsibilities attached to the otlice. Unfortunately, I am very fond of held .sports—sueh as hunting—but it is medicine to tne, and drives away dull care and 1 m afraid, if I shall not have a day's hunting occasionally, I shall nuke: a very dull mayor. (Laughter.) Still, I have made it a rule, throughout my whole career, that s ports or plea- sure of auvkiud, should not trespass upon my duties as a r l litt I'll c stt-ictly public officer. (Applause.) That rule has been strictly observed in relation to the Coronership, and depend up- on it I shall strive to observe it with eijual strictness in connection with the mayoralty. (Applause.) Whilst I alIl determined that tÍlhl sports shall not trespass upon the duties of my public appointments, I will not hesi- tate to allow those appointments to trespass upon my sports and pleasures. (Applause.) It will be my earnest elF.rt to discharge my duties witli justice, punctuality, and impartiality. (I bar, hear.) I tru>t if I should err in judgment or in action that you will attribute it to waut of thought, alld not to want of heart. (Applause.) I aU> hope that the iiieiliber, of the Corporation will be kmd enough to attend the meetings much more regular- lv than I have hitherto done, in order to alford me, un- der the guidance of our respected Town Clerk, all the as- sistance in their power. (Hear, bear.) I trust, too, that rnv brother magistrates will aul me as much as possible upon the Pencil. Indeed it is very gratifying to see us drawn together, and almost unanimous upon all occa- sions in adjudicating the several cases heard before us. (Heir, heir.) Thank; t,) Mr. Martin Smith, our worthy Clerk, I think we adhere pretty closely to the 1.1W3 of the court; ami if we do err, it is in being too lenient and merciful. Thl ex-mayor aud myself were rather ridiculed on account of those six lads who were brought before us, for playing pitch and toss on Sunday. In- stead of s, ilietii for three months t » gaol, we thought it preferable to bind them to aUend Sunday School for three months. We did so, and thus we saved them from a place where their sins would multiply, and remove, we hope, th" evil from their hearts. It was very gratifying to tiud these lads the other day coming to nte to produce a certificate showing tl at they had faithfully appeared in Sundiy School, every Sunday for three months, and testifying that although the school wa* a punishment to them at first, now it gave them even more (b light than they experienced before ill playing pitch aud toss. (Hear, hear.) With regard to the town generally, I may say that a great deal has been done in it hy In} predecessors. It is in a very good state; and it is oniv due to add that we are much indebted to our tradesmen, who through their industry, have nearly all bt\'?n? freeholders, and th"V have improved their pro- pei tv and shops in a manner that gives importance and attraction to the town. Th-'y are second t?n?tK'in )i.i?t'"f business habits and intelligence. (Hear, hear.) There is another class of gentlemen to whom we are etpiallv indebted—namely, those noble sons of Neptune (the \tt?rC?'np.u?),wh? have suj.?Ut;? us with plen- ty .? g,??,ki ii one of the grea'.e.^t comforts aud luxuries we cm be blessed with. It is said that j 44 ch atdiiu'-s is next to godliness," and 1 may add that f?t:i i., it ?i!l ill il,v ive, ztl) OXG Ilt?iit ?'j)- portunity of washing that sin away, (I. iiii(I ap- piau"") NV(! it ill )Ill, 1),)Wer t tli tile dr.mM ttietii (! ve11 fi?,)Ill tlie. t,,p of nurchiini?'<t"?"'?'tt?!!i?f our cellars, iu every house in the town. (Laughter.) Therefore, we ought always to feel grateful to the Company who, after con* tendin" with many dillienlties, success!ully established the Water Works. (Applause.) Jiut 1 regret to say that we arc guilty of negh'Ct toward s a large section of the inhabitants -and those are tile farmers, butchers, K' ll'-rs, ;ui l buver.-s .-l>y allowing our market-place to 1 g into that dilapidated condition in which it is now to i be neen. (Hear, hear.) I believe we ought to have directed our att-ntion to this subject almost before any- tliill, t e|t>, because it is a public phce for the transac- ti -u of business, bringing a handsome revenue to the j Corporation. (ILar, hear.) Now, it is almost without I a roof, thereioi e I most respectfully beg of you to pay 1 i serious attention to this matter without delay. awl let us make it as u-eful and compact as any market-place in the principality. (Hear, hear.) Gentlemen, I have one thing in paiti jular to request of you. T » despatch business, it is cs>e:itiai to have some definite system. Y.)ti ?ti-c iii;ttiv resolutions have been passed ami entered on the minute ?uuk, without ever being carried into eilect. If a res-lution isw<?th putting in the minute b"uk, sur-dy it is worth being carried out. (Applause.) In future, I hope we shall do, as the hunts- man generally does,—namely, "cast back aud make good" the ground wehavy before traversed; thatistosay, to whether our resolutions arc properly executed before we enter upon fresh subjects (Applause ) Ex. c,ise tll, tor trespas-imr so much upon your time. 1 l e^r to thank you again for the hoii »ur you have conferred upon me, and 1 only hope I shall prove myself half .is worthy of it as my respected friend Mr. Lloyd Wi.Uams. (Applause.) Mr. J. C. W*. Edwards—I am sure we are unani- mously gratified that the oldest member of this Cor- poration- -at any rate he has sat here longer than any of us has at length accepted the office ol Mayor. (Ap- I,hll.) 1 tru^t we shall have as much iv tsoii t > be sati-ii- 1 at th'1 end of hi> career in it as we have iiad by the services of the gentleman 1 am about calling your attention tll- fli ar, hear.) W e should be ill-discharg- ing i.ur duties if we did not express our feelings of gra- fiiude to our old mayor. (Applause.) I have been in th-* tr »u'.>ics and difficulties it involves. We all know Zile pres- sing, often calling hitr fioni home, —nevertheless, ho his fulfilled the duties of may..rof this Borough for the pa-t two vears with assiduity and courtesy, and, ] believe h is not creited one enemy, but won many friends, during hi- term of office. (Applause.) Tumour, in seconding the vote of thanks, said tl at Mr. Copner Wynne Edwards had c unpletely tx- Iii'r"-sed hi> views regarding the CX-m:tyor. i he Ex Ul ivor begged to oiler his grateful thanks for the kind way in which the Council seemc 1 to agree with what had been said "i "illl by Mr. Copner Wynne K lw.irils and Dr. Tumour. He feared their remnku were far toe complimentary, for really he flthe was Tory shortofwhatheouKhttobe. At the s:une tune, his wish li.ul li 'ii to ilo hU utmost for the goo.l of the town. (A|>|mse.)

The Mavor read the following letter — Denbigh, Nov. 8th, Ibt>6. Dear Mr. Mayor,—I begyou will excuse my absence at the Council meeting to-morrow, having an engage- ment, elsewhere. I hope the Council will come to some resolution about the removal of pigstves, as it isdesira- hIt. that then should be one unvaried rule o^ bserved throughout the I.orough. Yours faithfully, T. ll.kility Jo-, 1:-I. "The Mayor of Denbigh." Mr Copner Wynne Edwards said the Denbigh pig- styes were an abominable nuisance, prejudicial to health, aud destructive to hfe The Mayor admitted that in many instances keeping pigs was a great nuisance; still, the Council should be very cireful in dealing with this matter. It was rather a difficult point to decide what was really a nuisance. A pig^tve might be a nuisance one hour, and no nuis- ance another. A great deal depended upon Lhe way ill which it was attended to. He feared that too mneh pel so!ial filing was introlueed in the matter, and that the Council did not go to the right source to tight it out. The Town CI.,rk (\ir. I:' \\ï1Jiams) \v"" of °l'ini"ll that the Local (Joverment Act was the only authority to deal efficiently with the question. Mr. Gold Edwards was of a contrary opinion. II" b, lieved the Sanitary Act, IS'JG, gave ample powers to settle it. The Town Clerk said he failed to find any power in it to remove pigstyes. Mr. Copner Wynne Edwards remarked that there was such power in it, and [tower even to remove houses, if necessary to abate a nuisance aud promote health. Dr. E hvards said he ha,1 perused tli,, Act, and found it contained immense p nver—he thought unlimited — for the removal of nuisance-, and he b?s.'d to move that each member of the Council be supplied with a copy of it. The motion was seconded and carried unanimously. Dr. Tumour said he understood that at Chester the local authorities had taken steps to prevent even a single [>ig to be k ipt within the city. Mr. W m. Pal'ry, also said he believed a similar law prevailed iu Carnarvon. At the suggestion of Mr. Gold Edwards, the Town Clerk was instructed to ascertain what course is adop- tell in the neighbouring towns as to removal of pigs.

The chair was occupied by the Itev. W. Morgan, aud the Rev. E. Stephens, Tanymarian, was likewise present, aud s:mg a Welsh song. The proceedings were com- menced with a four-part song, given by Mr. R. Jones, Mr. O. Hughes( and the Miss s J. and M. lone-, the two latter being little girls who sang remarkably well, consi- dering their tender years. w,t, followed by a half- c'ltni realin; ill prose, by Mi". Jackson, school, entitled The Road to Good Euck," which caused a good deal of merriment. The Misses llopson, l'angor, next sang the beautiful duett, Let us dance on the sands," and in a stvle as to elicit a loud allll boisterous encore. They then gave "Gathering Flowers," which was warmly ap- pluided. Next came a Welsh reading by Miss Wynne, Y iiachgen bieha'r Due," which caused much laugh- ter. This was followed by a four-part Hong, nicely ren- dered. namely, 14AII Among the I'arley," by Miss Wyune, Mr. R. Jones, Mr. Williams, aud Master William Harrison, Bangor. Heuling in English, by Mr. Mathews, Hank, Bangor, one of Maeaulay's u Lays of Ancient Home." TII is line ballad was nicely read, but we fancy the subject matter was too learned, for the majority of the audience to enjoy and appreciate its beauties. Mr. Stephens then sang a Welsh song, in his well-known and popular style. This was followed by a Welsh read- ing bv "G.vilym Colleii." MNs Wynne, next gave the beautiful song, Sweet Spirit, heir my prayer," very charmingly, which received a hearty encore, when Miss Wvime re-produced it. The whole was concluded by tlie company singing the National Anthem. We are glad to say that up to the present time these readings have been quite a success, and we hope they will be con- I tinued during the whole of the winter.

Of the truth of this assertion there never was a greater exemplification than was witnessed on the early morning of Wednesday, the ftlst nit. at JJyvlulis. Soon after nine o'clock, the Hon. Miss Hughes, with her characteristic benevolence, proceeded to the New Lodge, adjacent to the noble mansion, (in conjunction with her beloved mother, the Rt.

Ample justice hiving been done to this repast, a choice selection of short anthems, with ehauts awl psalm tunes, under the direction of Mr. James Ellin, who accompanied on the harmonium, were then very creditably sung, after which the rev.

Mr. Thomas, and a body of zealous and faithful laymen, particularly undei the disadvantage they are iu without a church building, which may be looked upon as a great drawback in a place of the position of Portmadoc, but which, as yet, cannot be got from some obstacle or other.

Tiie of the Morning Star gives the fid- lowing amusing description of the feminine demonstra- tion at Venice on the occasion of the voting for the Un- ion with Italy On the tirst day of polling for union with Italy the Ducal Palace was suddenly invaded by the women of Venice, risen ill smiling wrath against the male tyranny that keeps them from recording their votes. It was a most formidable insurrection both by the number and the weapons displayed by the iiiutiti. eers. The Palace-yard was one mass of bonnets and capillary attraction. They stormed the tn(I Heaven knows what the Grand Council Hall might not have inspired them with had the guard" not locked the doors. There must be yet a lion's mouth" somewhere for vile informers to drop in their deiiunciary notes, or else the National Guard could not have been Be) quick on the spot ill sueh force as to occupy the gates, clear the galleries, alio persuade the rebels to capitulate. It was ready a niising to sec how fidgety these brave bur. glict-i were in f icing their wives and daughters, sisters and sweethearts, iu rebedi .n assembled. They actually were frightened out of their wits, and tried to keep the constantly rising tide of crinolines out of the Palace. It was a suht the like o'" which had never been seen within nUt'al Castle, wh'ch is unique. Looking down írntn the lirst landing of that marvellous staircase, which one almost faneiis is m ivory, carved with the patience of a genius, you would have liked t.» see the magnificent courts crowded with women of all ranks, conditions, age, and appearance. All the other parts of the cortite w.uj couquered and occupied by the women of Venice. They were very excited. It was all injustice and an imper- tinence to deny them the right of voting for Union. Had they not had theii brave part iu the struggle and bereavement with It ilv > Were the hearts of mothers, wives, and brides not bleeding with the patriots in pri- son ill exile, oii battle fields f Some proposals to vote bv force ot will and looks were made out set aside. After Home negotiation and much merry noie the delight- ful panic of the civil force was quieted. This fair re- bellion was .soothed by a speech from the gallery. '1 he lucky orator was a gallant ofticer of the National Guards, ami while he was addressing the army of ladies from the corridor up stairs, his back was turned to the door that leads to the liridge of Hghs. Fancy an immense bed of llowers in their richest variety of colours, every now and OWIl af.itat"ll by a snow-storm, driving about violently in thick, lengthy, winding Hakes ju>t above the floral heads, and you will have then fancied a hack- neyed but a true image of the scene in the Ducal cortile when the women of Venice turned it into a parterre of flowers, and waved their handkerchiefs in the air wildly ctyiug, !Si! si n the Ducal walls forming the garden enclosure, with an azure square of heavens above it all. No such scene could be witnessed in Kngland, and hard- ly even in France, f,)t.- ,,).ti-t fl.,)Ill it., it includ- ed a gathering of women from every class of the popula- tion (none excluded) all moved by the same >pirit. in a cause which is ju-t and noble, not afraid of censorious men, and commanding respect by the earnestness and lre:luty of th.,ir "nth,ia,m, whieh (Itill critics will atig- uiati.se as extravagant and the Tartullcs denounce ail profligate.
