I DENBIGHSHIRE BOROUGHS. While all will regret the cause which has taken Mr Towusliend Mainwaring from the scene of action while the canvass is still going on, it is satisfactory to feel that neither his interests nor the cause he represents are likely to suffer from his absence. Long and substantial, and honour- able services like his are not so soon forgotten nor does the exhaustive address which he has left behind him leave anything to be desired in the way of assertion and explanation of political principles. We ask the electors upon whom the duty of rightly deciding the coming election, and the responsibility that will follow a false vote will rest, to compare his address with that of Mr Watkin Williams, and fairly and calmly judge for themselves—to strip off the varnish of the fair words in which the Liberal professions are clothed, and looking beneath the surface to consider ser:. ously and solemnly—for questions of most solemn import are now propounded to them—and say whether they are prepared to accept of the itievi- table results to which they lead. First, of the Irish Church, Mr Mainwaring objects, as every good Protestant ought, to stripping it of its pro. perty and turning it adrift for the purpose 'of allowing larger scope and more extended action to Romanism throughout the land. Down with it says Mr Williams to continue a Church where it is objectionable to the majority is useless and op- pressive. But are not the Churches of England and Ireland and Wales ore ? Established and upheld for the purpose of maintaining Protes- tanism as the recognized religion of the United Kingdom ? And if the principle be admitted that it is to be abolished whenever the majority object to it, why not simply it to England till the Church becomes dependent upon the mastery in every parish vestry, and discord and spoliation prevail throughout the land 1 This is the result to which the principle propounded, if strictlj followed out, would ultimately lead. Surely, it would be more consistent with the views and feelings which have prevailed in this country since the Reformation to amend and modify rather than to demolish the Church of Ireland—better to adapt it to the pre. sent circumstances of the country, as Mr Main- waring suggests, and the Royal Commissioners have now recommended, than to retreat from the couutry, and abandon the religions teach- ing of the people to those who with all charity and full toleration to others, Protestants, whether in the establishment or out of it, regard as the enemies of the truth. We believe with Mr Main- waring there is a reaction in the public mind on this subject. There is a growing feeling that a Church ought not to be sacrificed to serve the exi- gencies of a party, that it is a project too hastily adopted, and would never have beeu adopted at all, had not Mr Gladstone-found the weapon of Parliamentary Reform, which his party had tampered and trifled with so long, snatched from his hand. If evidence of this reaction were want- ing, and if waning confidence in the success of the cry for Church destruction, it would be found in the addresses, as it is now found in the speeches of Liberal candidates throughout the land,-we mean in the wonderful discovery which has re- cently been made of a large and recklessly iu- creased expenditure on the part of the Conser- vative Government. Though unwilling to use a hard word we must say this is not honest. It was not honest in the first instance, because those who made the charge must have known that tbis increased expenditure was caused byd oing work which they had neglected, completing armaments they approved, or meeting Government votes to which they had assented. It is still less honest when though the whole matter has being explained the charge is still persisted in It is, how- ever of a piece with the conduct of those who during the passage of the Reform Bill did all thsy could to fix a hard and fast line which would have excluded many of the present voters and now cry out, like MrWatkin Williams, against the rate- paying clauses which stand in the way of house- hold suffrage. It may be accepted, as we have said, as a proof of diminished faith in the power of the disestablishment movement; and we have no fear that the financial dodge will have much effect in the Denbighshire Boroughs.

NEWS OF THE WEEK. I Affairs in Spain have now reached a crisis, General Xovaliolies having been defeated by the insurgents, and wounded, retreated to the capital. but any hope which he might have entertained of rallying his furors was speedily destroyed. The whole of the Madrid garrison has gone over to the revolutionists, and the troops of whose loyalty so much boast has beei. made mingled with the people in their rejoicings and their cries of Down with the iiourbons." Conchaof course resiguei^ xadaProvisionat Government was immediately formed in the capital. The royal arms have been torn down from the public buildings, and the city was illuniinateil on Tuesday night. rhe tele- grams contain detailed statements of towns and districts which have given in an adhesion to the re volt; but the fact is that the insurrection is prac- tically unanimous, and the result decisive. The Queen has fiekl from St. Sebastian, to seek some place of more secure refuge beyond the limits of her old dominions.—The revolution is progress- ing calmly and smoothly. New functionaries have been appointed, and the elections for the Constitu- ent Cortes by universal suffrage are already begun. Everybody seems to rejoice that the reigu of the Bourbon family is over, aud the Euglish residents join in congratulations to. the new 'Government The Queen in her flight had a brief interview with the Emperor Mapoleoii, but nothing transpired ex- cepting sympathy and condolence. Her Majesty, however, is reported to have carried off the Crown jewels. General Xovaliches has died of his won nds. On Saturday the Exhibition of Fine Arts at Ruthin, which had been open siuce the first day" of the National Eisteddfod at the beginning of August, was formally closed. It had been an- nounced on the previous day that Lord Napier of l'thgdala woulll be present on the occasion, but he was unexpectedly called away that morning. The lu-arty thauks of the inhabitants of Kutliin were presented to Mr Cornwallis West by tho Ma)oi for his valuable efforts in getting up the exhibi- tion. Thanks were also accorded to the secretary, Mr Penlev, and to the working committee.—Mr West, in responding, said it had not Veil decided how the proceeds would be applied, but he was in favour of expending it for the encourage- IIIL!Ilt Mf ltl't. ill t]IC PI ilicil)itlity. Count W alewski, one of the most notable of the politicians of the Second French Empire, and who, unlike many of his contemporaries, had gained considerable diplomatic distinction before the Emperor Napoleon became known to fame, died on Sunday last at Sirasburg, from a stroke of apoplexy. Tho deceased statesman will be remembered, amongst other things, for his romantic origin, and his efforts as au amateur litterateur. The Emperor of liussia arrived at Potsdam on Sunday morning, and was received by the King of Prussia. On the evening of the same day he left for Warsaw, and afterwards departed for Baden-Baden, where lie intends to make a stay of throe weeks. A sad reckoning is presented in the returns just issued by the Board of Trade of the wrecks, casualties, and collisions on the coast of the United Kingdom for the year IH\.ij. In that year there were more shipwrecks than in any previous twelve months on record. An incumbent of a southern Irish parish com- plains, in a letter to one of the secretaries of the Church Congress, now sitting in Dublin, that Mr Gladstone's name should appear amongst the vice- presidents. The committee, after taking the subject into consideration, resolved to take no action in the matter, and their reasons are that Mr Gladstone was appointed a vice-president be- fore he moved his resolutions in the House of Commons, and that political tests ought not to be applied in such a case. The congress is one of be whole church, and therefore the committee think it would not be right to adopt the course in Dublin of removing Mr Gladstone's name, which would not be adopted if the sittings were held ill York or London.

John Francis Kearne, one of the Fenians convicted i f ta' iD3 part at the rising of Ballykuockane, iu MarchUst )car, ald coi.tu.eJ i.Uillfank piison, is to be removed to a luuatic aeylum, his miud having given way.

_n- THE CARNARVONSHIRE ELECTION. The address of Mr Jones-Parry, which appeared in our last impression—reaching us only a few hours before going to press—and is repeated in this, shows that the Liberals really intend to dis- turb the county at the coming election by an effort as wanton as we are sure it must be vain to wrest the seat from the Hon. Douglas Pennant. This attempt scarcely rises to the dignity of a forlorn hope, since in military movements of that kind there is always a possible chance of success. Here there is none. The position of the present holder of the political fortress is so well protected by the armour, by his personal ability, his sound views, his, faithful if brief services, and by what his grown into a sort of traditional gratitude for the house of Penrhyn, that the attack can only have been fprompted by the anxiety to see how the land lies for the future—whether there be not some weak point that may be assailed and pene- trated hereafter and the only thing we find to admire about the movement is the courage which has carried men into so hopeless an enterprise. But waiving all this-Iayiug aside all private claims and personal considerations, and admitting that the enlargement of the franchise may justify a testing of the votes at the new elections, we need only .ask .those on whom the experiment is about to be tried to read attentively the two ad- dresses before tl)ein. Let them study carefully the clear and straightforward manner in which, in the spirit of honest Conservatism the hou. gentleman who has already served them well, declares his intention to 'uphold those great principles which :the needs of the opposite party have placed in peril, and his readiness to main- tain the institutions which the exigencies of time and the promptings of conscience have taught the people of this country to venerate. He is opposed to that sweeping attack which has been made on the Irih Church, but lie is not disinclined for any changedhatjnight be made for the better in its administration. This is said in the language of plain sincerity, and the spirit of true Conser- vatism and it required no ordinary assuraucc— we speak in a 'political sense—on the part of Mr Jones-Parry, in the face of the fact that this party had inaugurated preliminary measures for the reform of tlie,lrisli Church before the isolated position of Mr Gladstone drove him to declare for disestablishment, and in appealing to men who are about to vote under a Reform Bill passed by Mr Disraeli, to go back to the old phrases of a quarter of a' century ago, and charge his opponents with "a resolute opposition to the redress of our great social and political evils." Show the evil and the Conservative is ready to redress it. Prove the abuse and he will remove it—with a cautious hand, of course, but effectively. Surely this is the way in which reforms and improvements and modifications of our institutions should be carried otit-ijot by sweeping away the good with the b id, the solid and useful portions of the timber of the edifice along with the decayed rubbish. This is the difference between the two gentlemen who now solicit the suffrages of the county- careful improvements on the one hand, the wretched meddling of theory on the other. We have full confkleuce as to what the verdict of the old constituency would have been, and we will not do the new electors the injustice of believing that in this first exercise of the franchise they will be so ungrateful to those. who gave them it, and so forgetful of what is due to the real interests of the couutry in whose government they are now c tiled on to take a part as to ignore services which have left their marks of improvement around them, and be dazzled and led astray by the spe- cious promises and words of persons who for their own purposes agitate the public mind,"

THE CARNARVONSHIRE BOROUGHS. I I- I The main question between the cauuiaates ior the Carnarvonshire Boroughs, turns shortly and singly on the Irish Church-011 its demolition orre. form—as indeed the elections must turn in every part of the United Kingdom. This is the great point that will be, and must be, kept in view at every poll. No matters of a secondary character must be allowed to obscure it; no questions of merely local interest to supersede it no feeliugs of respect for the personal worth or private clia racter of those who are seeking their suffrages must blind the electors to the importance of the great issue which iiiity, and we think it may safely be predicted-will affect in a most material de- gree the interests of the religion and of thc propl, of this country for centuries to come. All eii- gaged in the conflict should bear this in mind, and take their stand on stern and stotdy princi- ple. It may be painful at limes to find our- selvei in hostility to the pretensions of men who, apart from their politics, we feel are entitled to our esteem. It is so in almost every conflict of the kind. But public duty calls on the electors, espe- cially <\t a juncture like this-at the present great turning point in the; affairs of the country, to sacrifice all personal feelings and considerations to the welfare of the great principles which are at stake. In this spirit we would urge them to examine the claims of the candidates before them as set forth in their addresses, and when they find Mr Bulkoley Hughes declaring himself a supporterof tl Mr Gladstones policy," that policy embracing the Irish Church and we know not what besides and then turn to Mr T. J. Wynn and hear him announcing his opposition to the sweeping measures which that significant phrase implies — though he is evidently prepared to support a reform of whatever is imperfect or obsolete ij the Establishment, to deal liberally with Dissenters and promote the free education of the people, there ought to be little doubt or hesi- tation as to which side a conscientious considera- tion of the true interests of the people ought to slVay the miml of thp voter. It should be borne iu mind that Mr Gladstone's policy has been adopted by many solely because they believe it to he adapted to general application-that it is good for England as well as for Ireland and a survey has already been made of the Church in Wales as the next outwork to be assailed. Are the electors prepared for this ? Are they prepared to put weapons iuto the hands of men that they may smite down the Established Church through- out the laud I This is not the professed project of some of those who support Mr Gladstone and his policy. We will do them the justice to say that we do not believe it has entered into their calculations at present. But if that party be em- powered at this election to take the first step, this is the result to "hich they will be ultimately driven. It becomes, then, every one who regards the Church as a stamlard of religion ill the land, who values it as affording the means for the poor man to worship without pay, and who would not leave the spiritual teaching of the people wholly to chance, to weigh well what he is doing before he casts his vote into the scale against such a man ¡. as Mr T. J. Wynn.aud thus does his best to pro- mote a policy the consequences of which he may i hereafter lament.

Bernard Hopkinson, formerly one of the crew of H.M.S. Dauntless, who had been convicted of rubbery from the peraon, has cleverly escaped from Hull gaol. He opened several iron doors, changed his clothes at the storehouse, made a rope ladder, got clear of the pre- miees, and has not eiuce been seea.

I LOCAL AND DISTRICT. A full report of Thursday's meeting of the Bangor Local Board of Health is in type, and will appear in our next. Powis EXHIBITION.—One exhibition of the value of £60 a year, tenable at any College or Hall at either of the Universities of Oxford or Cambridge, has been ot). tained by Mr Richard Hughes Pritchard, of liaugor, (son of William Pritchard, Esq., Taaycoed), scholar of Jesus College, Oxford. The examination of the candidates, seven in number, was held at King Edward's School, birioinghavo, on Tuesday, the 22ml of September, and following days, before the Rev. R W Alason,M.A., Jesus College, Oxford; and the Rev. E, W. Bowling, M.A., Fellow of St. John's College, Cambridge The candidates were examined in Welsh reading, composi- tion, and speaking; the Gospel according to St. Matthew, in Gu-ek the first and second books of Iliad, the fifth book of Thucydidcs, Xetioplion's Anabasii, Cicero dc Officiis, the iifth bouk of Eiteid, and Latin prose com- position. Honourable mention is made by the examiners of Richard Boweott, of JesiiB College, Oxfoid, as having passed a very creditable examination. CARNARVON TRAINING COLLEGE.—Her Majesty's In- spectors visited this College on Thursday, the 24th ult, and the next day they met the Committee and reported to them that they found the college to be in a very sound and satisfactury state, and that everything was going on well, but urging that every effort should be made to increase the number of pupils. On Tuesday evening a large meeting of the Wrexham Working Men's Liberal Association was held in thf Theatre Hoyal, Wrexham, to promote the election of Mr Watkin Williams, as member for the Denbigh bo- roughs, in opposition to Mr I'ownshend Maiuwaring. Mr Ralph Brown occupied the rhair. Several working uiuii au.lresseJ the mooting, after rliich Mr Watkin Williams spoke at some length, and alluded to two cases at the Denbigh Lunatic Asylum, in which a motion had been bnugbt forward by a trustee of that establishment to remove two of the warders who had pledged them- selves to vote for hiin. Resolutions were passed unani- mously in furtherance of the object of the meet.ing to use every leitilllte means for securing Mr Williams's return for the boroughs.

Jones, Morris Thomas, Thomas Morris, William Owen Williams, and John Roberts, were severally tined for the above uffence, in sums varying from 5s to Is and costs. Permitting Drunkenness.—Jane Roberts, Pembroke Tavern, Llanllyfui, was charged with keeping a disor- derly house. She proved that when the disorder took place she had sent lor a policeman, and the magistrates dismissed the case. Trespassing in Pursuit oj Oame.— man was charged by one of Lord Newborough's gamekeepers with having unlawfully gone after game on his lordship's grounds. Lord Newburough, who did not take any magi.,terial part in the case, said he did not wish to press it, and tlie man was let off with the mitigated penalty of Is and costs. Assault.— Thomas Brady was charged with assaulting a quarry agent named John Robiuson. The case had some bad features in it, and Brady was mulcted in the penalty of £3 and costs, and in default of payment he was committed to prison. Alleged non-compliance with the Factory Acts.-The Vaynol Quarry Estate were charged through Mr Astley, by Mr Kent, H.M. Inspector of Factories, with "that boys, too young, and not registered as required by the Factory Acts were employed by the proprietor." Mr Marcus Louis, of Ruthin, appeared for the prosecutor, and Mr Powell represented the Estate. The question turned entirely upon whether the manufacture of slates came within the meaning of the Factory Acts. After a lengthened hearing of the case their Worships decided that the quarries did not come within the meaning of the Acts, and the case was therefore dismissed, but we understand that it will be taken to a higher jurisdictior. Itleqnt Fhltitig.—Kiohard Roberts, Urillith Jones, Ebemzer .louuo, a.wl Evan Roberts, were charged witu a breach m the .Salmon Fisher.' Acts,-they having netted within the Straits during the prohibited time. The charge was laid by the Coast-guards. The men were defended by Mr J. T. Williams.

Prostitution.—Mary Roberts, alias Mari I-awr Pen- gelley," who has been nine times previously before the magistrates since 1867, was again brought up charged with iudecency in the streets. She was committed for seven days. POLICE INSPECTION.—Gen. Cartwright, the Govern- ment Inspector for the division in which Wales is in. cluded, inspected the force on Monday, and expressed satisfactiou with the efficiency of, and also as to the number of men, which entitles the county to the Go- vernment grant.

I R UABON. I SIIOCKING COLLIERY ACCIDENT. I GREAT LOSS Of LIFE. On ednesday loreiioou, at eleven o clock, a shocking accident occurred at Green l'it, near Ruabon, the scene of 80 many unfortunate occurrences. The accident was caused by an explosion of gas, brought about, it is sup- posed, by carelessness. At five o'clock p.m. ten men had been brought up to the bank dead and many others are also Bupposed to be killed, The number of wounded is not very great. Immense excitement prevails in the neighbourhood.

I MEKlONEi'H&TLLKL. AGIVICILIUUAI, AOUIR.1 I. The inanguaral show of this society came off hist Thursday, at Bala, and we are hippy to he able to record that it was ;t very successful one. Long traius ci-iimmed with passengers came in during the morning, aud we understand that hundreds were left behind at several stations. Fortunately, fine weather crowned the day with golden sunbeams, a gentle breeze withal coun- teracting what would otherwise have been oppressive heat. The show, which was ht'ld iu a field a short distance from the town, the prope;ty of Mr Lloyd, Bull's Head Hotel, was pronounced by all to be a remarkably good one. The fsriners who had attended the Wrexham Show pronounced this oue SlIperior. The poultry was was very poorly represented, and the dogs were chiefly Boutiucll to the sheep breed. There was a numerous show of horses, especially cart horses. The cattle formed the moat prominent feature in the field. The follow- ing few remarks may be welcome, proceeding as they du from a competent farmer:—In Class 3 For the best bull above 2 years, the judges felt sorry that they were ii,,t of a better quality, aud also considered that none of them were of the right sort. They thought there was a very poor show of rt'elsh bulls. A few cows iu calf were considered as vrry good. The yearlings were very poorly represented. Two capital 2 year old bulls were sent by Mr J, E. Parry, Glynn Hall. They were pronounced as of a very good sort, in fact better than our informant had seen for some time. They gained—as will be seen by reference to the list of prizes the first prize, and they well deserved it. Two, belonging to I Air Owen Owens, Glynn, Barmouth, were much com- I mended, aud gained the second prize. The beast in the W A -.I- 1. .„„, l T., .!« jr. r,-r, 1.1 v.

No. 56 and 57 the breed was uot pure Welsh. In C'ass 4, the animals that gained the first and second prizes for best cow, iii calf or milk, were good,butthelesssaidabouttheotbos the better. The heifers in calf or milk formed a etiikiug contrast to the cows, for they wac considered very good. In the entire stock two Hue beasts, the property ot the Earl of Dudley, attracted attention. They were of very fitic qiiility. A bull exhibited, the property of Mr ice, Khiwlas, was also very good. The jud^s re- commended the farmers to get the same quality for their dairies. The implements formed a very important part of the show. Y,) the left of the entrance was a stand, owned by Mr James Dixoo, Chester. Two boxes of dahlias were exhibited in very good condition considering the season. We noticed a large collection of seedling forest trees and ornamental shrubs We were also much struck by their collectiou of mangold wurtz-ls specimens of the globe, yellow and oriJugc-aud a dozvn varieties of -tii d a dozt,ii excellent potatoes, &c. We saw some hue specimens of loug mangold wtirtzel-soine weighing as much as 201bs, to -25 tbs. There was a large variety of gourde, among which we saw a tine globular speci men that must have weighed at least 80 or \)0 lbs. We observed a choice collection of seeds samples of oats, wheat, grass, &c. Messrs Proctor and Ilylaud had also a sin. '1 6taud, and showed some tioe specimens of potatoes, growu by Mr J. Roberts, Sattney, Cliestei,-240 mea- sures to the acre. Some yellow globular mangwld wuitzel was also shown by the same person. Mr W. Williams, coach-builaor, iiala, exhibited a light hand- some dog-cart, with an ingeniously contrived moveable seat and si-riug on a new plan. The moveable seat was designed for the purpose of in some measure i-egulittiijg the wdght on the horse's back. Messrs Griifiu, Morris and Giittin, of Wolverhampton, also occupied a stand with manures for agricultural and horticultural purposes. A large portion of the held was allotted to Mr E. ll. Pugh, Towyn, who exhibited on a large scale. A port- able tube, very similar to what our army used during the Abyssinian campaign, was on thegrouud uuder bia care, but at the time our despatches left they had not beeu reached, a circumstance very strange as the field is on a level—or very nearly so—with the lake. He showed a large collection of chalf and turnip cutters, hay making Liuchiues, horse gear, horse-rakes, &e. Howard's plough and harrowing machines, sheep rack, and kitchen ranges, a variety of j; on.work garden seats, llower stands aud illeat safe. were also under his care. Mr E. Kiwar«;s exhibited a similar variety of st cl,, adding articles of domestic use, and a great variety of troughs for sheep, poultry, ealves, &c. Some specimens of the Wanzer small hand sewing machines were also on the ground. | We may remiud our readers that to this only was" the order of merit adjudicated by the International Juiors for the Biitiiii Exhibition." Messrs Singer also exhi- bited theirs—aiul both machines audstauds attracted con- siderable numbeis throughout the afternoon. The judges were, for cattle—Mr David Ùwen, Conway, and Mi (Lewis Jones, Llauglwyn. For horses—Mr John Jenkins, Huthm, and Mr D. Parry, Pheroe. Poultry and dos Mr George Jones, Birmingham.

THE PUBLIC DINNER, which took place at the Town-hall, and was largely attended, was supplied by miue host of the Lion Hotel. The spread was e.ipitd, and full justice was done to the vinnde so tastely laid out. The hall was very nicely decorated, the following among the mottoes being con- spicuously placed on the walls Speed the Plougb," God Bless the Prince," Pence and Plenty," &c., &c. In the unavoidable absence of the president of the society, H. J. Lloyd Price, Esq., the chair was occupied by Sir Watkin W. Wynll, Bart., M.P., the duties of the vice-chair being very efliciently discharged by L. H. Thomas, Ksq Gaerllj'rioii, Harlech. Grace was said by the Itev. D. Emns. The C hairman, in proposing the first toast, said it was with extreme regret that he had to appear before them, as their president, that day, Mr Price, who should have occupied hit place, had taken the greatest pains and trouble to organise their society and to bring about the show which had that day been held. He had seen him on Sunday, and he then iutended to have beeu present, lie (the Chairman) had been asked to take the chair, and he could not refuse seeing the condition they were in through Mr Price's absence. iu carrying on the Society he must say at the outset there was one thing which must be recollected, that they must not have party politics or religious opinions mixed up with it, if they prevailed injury would be done to a socitty like that. They must all try to avoid auything that would give offence to anybody. He would now give them the first t iast which he knew they would iliiuk heartily, for they were all loyal subjects of their sovereign. ( Cheers.) The Chairman then gave the health of the Prince and Princess of Wales, lie hoped that the riuef, having the pattern of his father before him, would eudeavour to make himself as much beloved as his father was. He hoped that if ever he came iuto that part of the country he would see agriculture prospering as well as the manu- facturer. The Chairman proposed the Army and Navy and Volunteers, saying It was only last week they went to lluthiu to do honour to Lord Napier, not eL) much as a warrior who had fought great battles and thus dis- tinguished himself, but as one who had managed to con- vey a large army to Magdala, with such skill that the losses on our side were almost intinitesaiiual. Some people there were who thought our army was too ex. pensive. He would not say whether it was so or not, or whether some expenses might not be reduced, but all our army were volunteers, they had to be recruited and to be better paid than those of other countries who were obliged to hght whether they would or not. Some might be overpaid, but it was difficult to kuow how to alter it. ltli the toast he would connect the names of General Chisuey and Coloue) Tottenham. (Applause.) G neral Chisney's leply was inaudible to the re- purt' rs. C Ion 1 Tottenham, in responding, drew attention to a fact that spoke favourably of .vleriouethshiie. He had the double honour of belonging to the Denbighshire Cavalry and the Merionethshire Atituit. He had to c..nJ'atulate the county on there being a complete set of officers and men. In tiolut counties there was great diflh ulty xpenenced ill filling up their rauks and oilicer8 but I e ws happy to state that so well had this been ac- eOllJfl h t,i thai, the Secretaiy of State had granted the privilege of exceeding their numbers. Tue officers took good or; inly to choose young men. In the officers there weie two supernumeraries. He called attention to the importance with which the taking of Magdala had been attended with abroad. Count Bismark, when about 11 p m. he received a telegram to the above effect, im. mediately proceeded to the residence of the British minister in Berlin (who was a cousin of his) to congratu- late him • n the successful termination of the war. It was a circumstance not geuerally known. The Chairman then proposed the Bishop, Clergy, and Ministers of all denominations; to which the Kev. D. E vans replied. The Cuairman next gave the Lord Lieutenant of the County and Magistrates, coupling the name of Dr Kicha di with the toast. Dr ltichards responded in suitable terms. The Chairman then rose and said the next toast he had to propose was the toast of the evening, Success to the Merionethshire Agricultural Society. Seeing the crowds of people that had come into the town that day, he was sorry better pieparations had not been made for them, but it was beyond all their expectation. Looking at the implements in the show yard he was pleased to see such number and variety, aud he observed with satisfaction that they were all from that district. No- thing his so much improved during the last few years in connection with agriculture as the im- plements, which they would be satisfied of if they called to mind what they were a few years ago. That proved what benefit shows like that they had held that day had done, how much they had stimulated men to bring forward the best things they could. With re- gard to the cattle, some very, good animals had been brought amongst them that day, but not very many sheep. He was watching with great interest Captain Cook's experiments with Scotch farming of which they heard at Wrexham last week. lie bad not feen them at work in Scotland, and therefore could give no opiuion about it but they in that neighbourhood would suon have an opportunity of judging whether it will be woith while to introduce the Scutch system into that district. Also whether it will be better to go on as they are or to go into large farms, this would bea hardship to in, ny small occupiers. He could not help thinking that alihwen made a great mistake iu bringing their best t aists to market aud keeping the bad ones at home to breed from. (Hear, hear.) He trusted they would see by degrees that the farming in that district would be as good as in any other part of the Kiugdom. (Cheers.) He concluded by proposing the toast. The Secretary here stated that he was of opinion that when the whole of the expenses had been paid, that there would be a balance in hand of nearly £100. (Cheers) Mr W. R. M. Wynne, M. P., then proposed the Pre- sident, which was drank with applause, aud acknow- ledged. Sir Hugh Williams, Bart., proposed the Judges of the Agricultural Society J. Jeukius, Esq., Plasyward, near lluthin, responding. Mr J. Jones proposed the Vice-president; L. H. Thomas, Esq, responding. Sir Watkin gave the Successful Candidates and the Hon. Charles WYDlj, of Rhug, the Unsuccessful Candi- dates. Mr J. Vaughan proposed The Press. Mr James Moltby proposed the Bala Committee; Mr Thomas Johnes, Brynmelyn, and Mr Walter Jones responding. Amongst the company we noticed Sir W. W. Wynn Bt, II.P,; W. It. M. Wynne, Esq.,M.P. Col.Tottenham; H. T. Richardson, Esq.; J. Vaughan, Esq., Nannau- H. L), Clough, Ksq.; the Itev. D.

Lord Napier of Magdala, accompanied by his mili. tary secretary Colonel Dillon, leaves to resume the command of the Bombay army about the 31st of Oc. tober. THE OAKS COLLIERY EXPLOSION.
