The North Wales Chronicle and Advertiser for the Principality

The petition against the sitting member for Ashton- nnder-Lyne, where Mr Milner Gibson was defeated, has fallen through. A petition has been presented against the return of Sir E. Lacon and the Hon. E. Walpole, the Copserva- tive members for North Norfolk. The Beard of Trade have decided not to hold an official inquiry into the wreck of the Gossamer, on the ground that the pilot has been already committed for trial for manslaughter. At the Liverpool Assizes on Monday, a verdict of £ 200 damages was given in favour of Mr Samuel Nichels, a commercial traveller, for injuries sustained while travelling on the North-Eastern Railway, on the 30th May, 1867. The Dublin Express states that the reports of the Irish Railway Commissioners are to be submitted to the Marquis of Salisbury, with a view to his advising the government with regard to the proposal to purchase the lines. Sir Culling Eardley has been granted a free pardon, provided he absents himself from the country until the period of his sentence ehall have expired. He has, there- fore, left for Madeira. It will be remembered that Sir Culling Kardley was sentenced to imprisonment in January last for bigamy. The reason for his release is stated to be that further confinement might probably kill him. At the annual meeting of the National Bank of Scot- land at Edinburgh, on Monday -Lord Dalhousie, go. vernor, in the chair-the ordinary profits of the last official year were declared to be X135,345,an(i a dividend of 12 per cent. was declared, leaving X15,345 to be added to the rest. There was also declared a bonus of two per cent., or £ 20,000, arising out of incidental, profits not included in the ordinary earnings of the year. The rest now amounts to £ 310,225. THE SEBASTOPOL BELL AT WINDSOR CASTII —The maguificeut bell captured at the seige of Sebastopol, and presented to her Majesty the Queen, en arrival at Wind- sor, was placed upon the uorth terrace of the Castle, where there is also one of the largest guns taken in that memoiftlrfe siege. The bell has been hung in the Raund Tower, just over the steps which give access to the apart- ments in the centre of the gre"t tower, near the cannon which sweeps the sole entrance to the anciant donjon keep," in which King John of France and King David of Scotland were prisoners in the reign of Edward III, and Charles I was coufised by the Parliament, when Windsor Castle was under the government of Colonel Venn, in 1648. The weight of the bell is 17cwt I'll' 2111). The bell, which has (a rich and sonorous tone, bears in the Russian language, the inscription 44 Sevastopol- Nicholas Sanetus," and a record of its weight in poods. THE SIAMESE TWINS.—The Siamese twins, just arrived from America, have commenced to hold public receptions in the New Waverley Rooms, W&teiloo place, Edinburgh, Thirty-eight years have elapsell since the twins last ex- hibited in Edinburgh, and to their visit on the present occasion is imparted an additional iuterest, from the cir- cumstance that they are on their way to Paris to have cut the ligament which has so long bound them together. They are aecompauied on the present occasion by Miss Zobeielie Luto, a Circasian lady, who during the last two years has appeared with the twins in their public recep- tions in America, by Miss Victoria and Miss Catherine Bunker, daughters of the twins, and by Mr Ingalls, who accompanies them in their contemplated visit to Paris. Notwitstandiug the inclement weather which prevailed yesterday, a large number of ladies and gentlemen took advantage of the opportunity of being introduced to the twins, who, along with the ladies forming the company, engaged readily and intelligently in conversation with the visitors. The receptions, we understand, are to be con- tinued over the present week. APPALLING DISASTER GREAT Loss OF LIFE.—As already briefly reported through the Atlantic cable, an- other of those appalling disasters for which the United States are famous occured at midnght, December 5, on the Ohio river, near the town of Warsaw, in Indiana. Two large steamers, each carrying mails and passengers, came into collision, through a mistake in signalling, and the result was a terrible loss of life. The steamer United States was descending the river, and the America ascend- ing. The United States attempted to cross the bows of the America; the America struck her in the side near the wheel-house a deep chasm was cut into her, while the bows of the America were stove in. and both steam- ers filled and sank. The water being shallow neither suuk below the main deck, and this prevented a greater loss of life than really occurred but in the case of the United States, some petroleum that was aboard caught file, and in a few minutes the vessel was wrapped in flames fiom stem to stern, and communicated the fire to the America. There was a panic on both vessels, but on the America it was quieted, and but one person out of about 130 aboard is known to have been lost, while the officers managed to have the boat ashore before she sank On the United States everyone was in the wildest fright and out of 75 passengers and a crew of 30, eighty were lost. The crew made a rush for one of the boats, upset, it, throwing all m it into tho water, and in this way many of them were drowned. The charn ed wrecks of these t wo steamers now He within 100 yai ds of each other oil tho Indiana shore. They were two of the finest vessels on American rivers, aud Wt're valued at over$200,000 each, while the total loss with their cargoes, is$1,000,000. The j disfigured and half-burnt corpses of the unfortunate people who were lost are being thrown ashore by the river for miles below the scene of the disaster.

NEWS OF TIIE WEEK. I Madame Rachel-pending tliu decision of the Court of Queen's Bench 011 the heating of the writ of error to quash her conviction and sent- ence—has been released on bail. She was relieved from custody on Monday. She appeared very ill, scarcely able to walk, and was supported by her daughter. Mr J. S. Mill says that in the event of the peti- tion against Mr Smith's return for Westminster being successful, he has no wish to offer himself for re-election. The late Premier's brother, Mr James Disraeli, diedvprysuddenlyonWednesday morning. He had been some time suffering from heart disease, but latterly lie was able to attend to his business at Somerset-house, where he held the post of Com- missioner of Inland Revenue. On Wednesday morning a terrible explosion oc- curred at a powder mill at faverahv.m. Nine men are reported to be severely injured, and two tire not expected to live. A collision is reported between two Egyptian steamers near Smyrna, the results of which are believed to be very disastrous. One of the ves- sels foundered immediately, and it is reported that 200 lives have bean lost. The days for the trial of ten of the election petitions have been fixed. The first of the series comes on on the first of January, and the last is appointed for February 12th. The members of the new Government who were compelled by law to seek re election at the hands of their several constituencies, m accepting office, have met with no opposition, and have been re-elected. The spepches of the iiioi-c promi- nent of the members will be found elsewhere. A contest took place at Wareham on Tuesday, the representation of which town had become vacant by the death of the member returned at the late general election. The contest was for some time a very keen one between Mr Drax, a Conserva- vative, and Mr Calcraft, a Liberal but in the end the former was returned. At the general election the constituency returned a Liberal. The youths accused of causing the death of the man who was killed in the Blackburn election riot, were on Wednesday arraigned at the assizes on the charge of wilful murder. The result was, however, the acquittal of tho prisoners and it appeared that the deceased had, by his own ex- citement and violence, laid himself open to the rough usago which, unfortunately, led to his death. The St. Albans ritual case was decided on Wed- nesday by Lord Cairns. He has reversed the de- cision of the Court of Arches in regard to lighted candles, and admonished Mr Mackouocliie against prostration and kneeling. The decision also goes against lighting caudles during the communion service, and the judge held that they were not ornaments within the meaning of the rubric. In short, the ritualistic practices at St. Albans are thoroughly condemned. Two deaths have now resulted from the explo- sion of naptha in one of the trucks of the Brighton railway. Pr. H. Letheby, in his evidence as to the cause of the accident, stated that he had 110 doubt that the 11 refiiiect uaptha" had either leaked out or become diffused in tho wagon. Having thus mixed with atmospheric air, there was formed an explosive mixture which was tirell by the light of the lamp held by one of the de- ceased men to the carriage, and the explosion resulting, the burning naptha was blown over them and continued to burn. He suggested that naptha might be carried in trucks with a louvre ventilation, so as to have a free current of air, and so prevent the vapour gathering. The jury also recommended that the carriage of such a dangerous material should be made the subject of special regulations. Peace still continues in Spain, and the pro- vincial election,, tend to confirm the belief that there will be a majority of Constitutionalists in the Cortes. The Turco-Greek dispute is not yet settled, and it is apparent that both sides are making active J preparations for war, on a large scale. Russia seems to have definitely put her foot in the quarrel by giving permission to Greek vessel s to carry tiu Russian flag. It is rumoured that the period of fifteen days originally allowed for the departure of the Greeks from Turkey has been extended to thirty days. Hobart Pacha is stii) blockading Syra with a force of seven vessels. The Times says, there is as yet nothing to indicate a. peaceful settlement of the dispute still the tem- per of the Great Powers is such that any other event is very improbable. We do not recollect any one of the numerous Eastern disputes in which the opinion of Western'Europe has been so clearly and unanimously pronounced. Every phase of the business exhibits the untenable posi- tion the Greeks have taken up. Public feeling in Italy, excited by the Roman executions, intensifies and there seems a proba- bility that one day sooner or later, the Papal authorities will be openly defied, as they are in- deed partially now. A telegram from Havannah, dated December 5th, states that, according to advices from Hayti, Salnave had detained the British mail steamer Jamaica.

THE ASSAULT UPON A GAMEKEEPER AT PENMACHNO. AT PENMACHNO. WE reported last week at great length a case heard before the Conway divisional magistrates at Bettwsycoed, in which two men were charged with attempting to murder a gamekeeper. Fioin that report the public will be able to form a judgment of the merits of either side, without observation on our part; and were it not so, we should hardly be tempted to transgress the rule, the salutary rule, of abstaining from comment upon matters sub judice. The few remarks, there- fore, that we have to make will be of a general character, and in no way affecting either the inno- cence or guilt of the accused. We cannot refrain, in the name of the liberty and freet!om-Eng]alltl's dearest boast—from entering our protest against oue of the theories put forward in effect by the learned gentleman who represented the prisoners. Mr Eyton was bound to do the best iu his ability and power for those by whom he was employed, and our argu- ment will not be weakened if we acknowledge, as we do, that all that it was possible fir legal talent and acumen to accouiplisli in refuting the charge made against his clients, was accomplished by him, and that the interests of the prisoners in no way suffered from his universally-admitted able advocacy. It will scarcely be denied that on the night of the county election Hunter, the prosecutor, was made the subject of a brutal and premeditated assault, by a number of persons assembled for what purpose we care not to discuss. We havei t in evidence—for though the contrary is insi- nuated, no proof as yet is advanced in support of the insinuation—that he was sober, and desired to return home peaceably, after fulfilling the duty of a citizen. The implied argument of Mr Eyton-aml it is of this we coiiiplitiii-is that, because a crowd, whether incited by drink or not does not appear, cliooses to muster in the village of Penmaclino, and exhibit by certain manifesta- tions towards Hunter, an unprotected man, a personal antipathy, that therefore lie is to yield to the menaces of the mob, to give up to their sole and arbitrary possession the Queen's highway, and to reach home, as best he may, by a circuit- ous and dangerous route, at the imminent danger of breaking his neck or losing his life by drown- ing. Had he have taken this suggested course of "discretion," what we ask was there to prevent the self same species of intimidation being brought into use whenever Hunter chose to pay an evening visit to the village It is not too much to suppose that had he adopted the well- meant, but nevertheless cowardly, suggestion of the landlord of the Horse Shoe, this would have been the case, and that the severe punishment he received would only have been postponed to a future occasion. It is high time, for the credit of the country aud the comfort and safety of individuals, that mob law, if tolerated iu America, should be dis- countenanced in England; and for the furtherance of this, we call upon men of all political opinions to unite, whether at tlection or other times, to suppress this rowdyism, imported into our coun- try from the other side of the Atlantic. This can be accomplished by moral suasiou better than by legal force—at any rate, whichever power is the more effective, let every man aspiring to tha rank of respectability range himself on the side of law and order, aud assist in stamping out an exotic that will, if allowed to run wild, tend to bring us and our country into disrepute. There is another complexion of the matter that we regret, and this is the unnecessary introduc- tion of the name of Lord l'enrhyn iuto the case. We oursel ves fail to see any palliation of the ill- usage to which Huutor was subjected in the fact that he was the servant, and enjojed the confi- dence, of a great peer of the realm aud the con. stant harping of Mr Eyton upon the Hallie of Lord Penrhyu, and the weight he is supposed to lend to the prosecution, seems to us to indicate a desire to set class against class in the nittter. Lord Penrhyn needs no vindicator, and enlisted though the sympathies of the multitude may be by Mr Eyton's ail captandum arguments, (as was well put after the hearing of the case), his lord- ship's reputation as the incarnation of liollour will not suffer at the hands of a discerning public from his connection with the present transaction. On the contrary, had he neglected to support, whether by his purse or by his countenance, a servant whom he considered to have been in the right, he would, it appears to us, have laid him" self open tc reflection, if not have tarnished that 1 1 ,1 ,1 .1,' 1. character WHICH nas DltlHJrtO oeen me Drigntest jewel in his lordship's coronet. As to the result of the present proceedings, we are sure that Lord Penrhyn participates in the hope we ourselves feel, that if innocent, tlio prisoners may be acquitted-if guilty, that they may meet with the punishment they deserve. An important printer'serrorcrept into our report of the case above alluded to. The threat sworn by Ellen Jones to have been used by William Owen as to Hunter was, I'll kill Iiiiii, by tile devil," Arc., instead of I'll kid, him," as reported.

I LOCAL AND DISTRICT. A general Ordination was held on Sunday, the 20th instant, at the Cathedral Church of 13angur, by the Right Rev. the Lord Bishop of the dioceae, when the following gentlemen were admitted to the order If Priesthood:—Revs I' Jones, Pistyll; W. J. Franeis, B.A., Trefdraeth; H. Rees, B.A., Conway Herbert Roberta, B.A., Llandinam D. forgan. Ffestiniog. The follow- ing were also admitted Deacons :Ifr D. T. Williams, The. Coll., Birmingham Mr J. W. Evans, St. Aidan's The. Coll. Mr Ü. Jones, St. Bees The. Coll. Mr Williams was afterwards licensed to the curacy of Llan- yatumdwy, Mr Evans to that of Llanfwrog, and Mr Jones to that of Llantrisant. The Bishop of Bangor haa recently issued a circular addressed to the clergy aud laity of the Established Church in the diocese, and inviting them to a Conference to be held on the 21st of next month, in the cathedral city. The subjects especially proposedfordidcuasion are as follows 1st,—The erection and endowment of new churches in popu» Ions places, where there arc at present no opportunities of pub- lic worship in connection with the National Church. 2tid, I'lic I)roctiring tiiexl)eiisive I)uildiii,s, in liamletq m,)re or less remote from the parish church, which, as they will not be consecrated, may be used as lecture rooms, Sunday schools, or in any way by which true religion may be promoted, and the Church edifted. 3rd,—The supplv of curates, and con-equent increaso of ser- vices in poor bessefio-s, where there is more than one church. 4th,—The providing maJ1 a';lTies for godly men, who, with- out giving up their secular calling, might be disposed to act aa Scripture Jitadera, under the guidance of the clergyman of the parish. bth,-The establishment and support of a Welsh newspaper, to be conducted on sound Church ot tngland principles. —It is probable, that these subjects will be found to supply ample matter for protracted discussion, and that they have sufficient practical interest to draw together churchmen from all parts of the diocese. It is u,,t [iro- posed, however, to limit the attention of the meeting to- them. Any proposition, winch appears likely to lead to good results will, doubtless receive a careful considera- tion and it is particularly desired that the laity should take their full share'iu the ventilating, and. if need be, originating measuies for the benefit of that Church, in which they, as well as the clergy, have their proper place. w iiat, however, is of the greatest moment, is that the response to the Ri.-hop's appeal may not termi- nate in mere word., but that energetic measures be iai. mediately taken to carry out the resolutions of the con- ference. Notwithstanding the noble liberality of more than one of our great employers of la bour, it canoot be denied that populations have been brought together, and are contiuually springing up, without any adequate means of bringing the miuistrations of the Church, within their reach. The time of the parochial clergy. man, instead of being free for hie pastoral and public ministerial duties, istoo often consumed in endeavouring paintully to collect, from near and distant, the means of providing additional church and school accom- modation and this often with but small encuuragement from companies, which, formed on strictly commercial priticil-lem, recognize no obligation to meet the spiritual warns of those whom they employ. It is not our inten- tion, however, to anticipate the work of the conference. We would only hail it as the starting-point of a course of action, which, hy God's blessing may end in reinsta- ting our Church 1. the affections of a warmbeMted pH?pfe, to whom its pure and scriptural truths wiil come fraught with guidance and consolation, until the vicis- situdes of the church militant are swallowed up in the glories of the church triumphant. BaxooR NORMAL COLLEGE.—We are glal to find that this important institution has lately received a very con. siderable accession to its fnulls,from gentlemen who were not hitherto in the habit of supporting it. The member for the county has become an annual subscriber of five pounds. The Hon. Lord Newborough the other day sent a donation of fifty pounds, and H. W. Wynne, Esq., Gaithewin, Abergele, has just sent twelve guineas, as a first annual subscription. The member for Cardigan- shire has also become an annual subscriber of two guineas, and Jenkiu Jones, Esq., of London, of five pounds.— Communicated. CIVIL SERVICB COMPETITIONS.—A competition of five candidates (three in London, and two in Dublin) for a vacant clerkship in the London Kecord Office, on the 8th inst., has resulted in the success of Mr G. F. Hand- cock (a former pupil of Or Waymouth), son of G. 0. Haudcock, of Bray, Ireland. SEASONABLE BENEVOLENTE.—During the past week, G. W. Cooke, Esq., of the Penlon Slate Works and Plas Lodwig, distributed large quantities of coal among I scores of the poor of Bangor and the neighbourhood* and at this season of the year these noble gifts must be I doubly welcome. J-Mf-a-ton of c«>al was given to each recipient, and in the great majority of the cases Mrs Cooke gave a loaf and a quantity of meat in addition. ACCIDENT IN TIIE Huwma FIELD.—Mr S.vetenham, barrister, of Cam-yr-Alyn, while hunting with Sir. W Wynn's hounds near Ruabon, on Tuesday week, met with a serious accident. His horse stumbled, and Mr Swetenham fell to the eround headforemost with great force. He w;ii ttken iii) in ;in insen,il-le c n liti,)n has been coulined to the house f"r a few (lays, but we are glad to say that he is recovering from the effects of the accident. Sin WATKIN WYNN AND THE PEERAGE.—The follow" (ing letter has been addressed by Sir Watkin to his friends and supporters I beg to thank you most cordially for the kind way in which you have assisted in returning me for the seventh time as your representative in Parliament It is a position which for more than a ceutury aud a half has been the most prized distinction of my family it was preferred by my great grandfather to an earldom, by my father to an earldom, by myself to a peerage, rimes and circumstances have undergone great changes, but one thing has never chttigel-the heartfelt gratitude of the House of Wynnstay to the electors of Denbigh.-I am your grateful servant, Watkin Williams Wynn. Wynnstay, Ruabon, Nov. 30, 1808. MR LANDERQAN'S PIANOFORTE RECITAL.—On Friday the 11 th, Mr Landergan, organist, of St. Mary's Church Leicester, gave his pianoforte recital in the Temperance Hull. He was assisted by the following distinguished artistesMadame Martorelli Garcia, Signor Gustavo Garcia, Mr H. Nicholson, and Mr H. Farmer. The at- teudance was small, which is to be regretted, as the character of the music, and the manner in which it was performed, was truly calculated to charm the ear, and improve the taste. Selections from Mozart, Beethoven. Haeh, Hammel, Haydn, Mendelssohn, Rossini, and (jounod, followed each other in charming variety. "V oi chi supete was sung by Madame Garcia with much grace and finish, and received an enthusiastic eacore. Meditations on a prelude of Bach's by Gounod, per. formed by Messrs Nicholson, Farmer, and Landergan, also was a treat long to be remembered, both for the eX- treme beauty of the music, aud the grace with which it was rendered. We congratulate Leicester upon the acquisition of such an artist as Mr Landergan. The precision, beauty, and elegance of his style is above all praise. It is to he regretted that his spirited attempt to bring before us the gems of our greatest masters, was not nwre warmly responded to. We hope, however, that Mr Landergan will before long delight us with another evening when he is better known. We anticipate a great career iu Lyiccstyr for Mr Landergan.—Liictxtcv Advertiser.
