I -m AB!-9,{T_YC"0í:' I RUABON COUNTY ti I 1UESDAY, MAY zif, imio.—before U. Winston. Jiasq, Deputy Judge. There were 112 caseg entered for trial, manv of which were settled out of court, whilp. those which came on for hearing were chiefly small debts possessing no feature of public interest. A COLLISION. I Richards v. Jonc>,—This was an action brought by John Richards, shopkeeper, against Mr Joseph Jones, farmer, for the recovery of one pound, damazes sustained by the defendant driving against the plaintiff's cart. near the Swan Inn, Penybryn, Wrexham. 'Mr Bucktnn, of Mold, appeared for the plaintiff and Mr Jones, of Wrex- ham, for the defendant. After giving an outline of the case, Mr Buckton called Sarah Richards, who said I am the wife of John Richards, the plaintiff in this action. I was in Wrox- ham 01 the 8th of March—I went to buy buttsr but could not get any. About a quart-r to four I called with my pony and cart at the Swan Inn, PeDvbryo. As I was turning in the yard, the defendant, Joseph Jones, came driving up Penybryn, at full speed. He was in a gig and two females with him. In driving past h*5 struck against my cart and caused it to turn over upsetting the contents on the ground. The contents consisted of three gro33 of pipes—value 5. i confectionary purchased from Mr Stevens, 6s; tincture of rhubarb, 5. i woollen yarn, 4s. 4d. The pipes were nearly rll destroyed. The con- fectionary was unfit for use. The cork came out of ti e tincture of rhubarb bottle and the contents was neart- all lost. The yarn was so much damaged that I could not sell it. The springs of the cart were damaged, but these have been repaired by order of the defendant. Cross-examined by Mr Jones.—The head of the pony Ij was about half a yard within the gateway. There was no timber carriage near. (A letter was here put in hy Mr Jones, written by the plaintiff to the defendant of- fering to settle the whole matter for 10s.) Joseph Edwards stated that he repaired the eart, for which he charged 2s 6d. Mrs Jones, (defendant's mo- ther) gave him the order. Made out the bill to Mrs Jones. (On reference to the bill it was found to be made out to Mrs Jones.) Mr Jones said his answer was that it was an accident and quite unavoidable. When the defendant came up to the Swan he found the plaintiff's cart by the gate of the yard, the pony's head just up to the gate post. On the other side of the road were two timber carriages, and when Mr Jones drew his pony up he reared, and he was compelled to allow him to go forward. He contended that they were not liable, and even if they were, the damage was not more than 10s. according to the plain- tiff's own letter, and as 2s. 6d. had been paid for repair- ing the cart that was now reduced to 7s. 6d. The de- fendant had nothing to do though with getting the cart repaired, these proceedings had been taken by his mother. J oseph Jones, the plaintiff was then called. He said he remembered driving up Penybryn on the day in question. The plaintiff's cart was by the Swan yard, outside the gate, and no one with it. Did not see the plaintiff at all. There were two timber carriages on the road, so that there was no room left to pass. He pulled up the mare and she reared—the females that were with. hiUl shouted and he was obliged to let the mare go on. It was the rim of the nave that upset the cart. Knew nothing about offering to pay for the repairs, that was done by his mother. Miss Evans was next called. She said she was in the gig with Mr Jones and his wife on the day in question. Saw nothing of Mrs Richards at all—there was no one with the pony. Never saw Mrs Richards till that day. i There was scarcely room to pass between the cart and the timber carriages. When Mr Jones pulled the pony up he reared and he was obliged to let him go on. Her shoulder rubbed up to the timber in passing the timber carriage. Judgment for 10s. WOODWARD V. JONES. I This was an action brought by Mr Charles Woodward, of the Cefn, against Mr William Jones, ironmonger, of i Conway, for £208 2d, alleged to be due for grinding Stones, &c. Mr Buckton appeared for the defence. Ten shillings of the amount had been paid, which the plaintiff acknowledged, stating that he omitted to give credit for it. The defence in regard to the balance was, that Mr Woodward offered to send the goods carriage free and free from damage, whereas, the carriage was not paid and the grinding stonef crushed. Mr Woodwarddeniedmakingany such stipulation, as the carriage to him would have been equal to the worth of the goods—the Railway Company would have charged him the same as they would for a truck load. As to the cracks spoken of they were no injury to the stones, and if there had been any damage in the carriage, the defendant's remedy would have been with the Railway Company. The defendant said he wrote to Mr Woodward, complaining of the damage the day after he received the goods, but Mr Woodward said he never received any such letter. The defendant called a person named Thomas Evans, who said he was present in Mr Jones's shop when Mr Woodward was agreeing with Mr Jones for the stones, and he under- stood that they were to be delivered carriage free and free from damage. His Honour said, he thought it was extremely improbable that Mr Woodward should make such an agreement, but there were two oaths against one, and he was bound under these circumstances to give iudgmcnt for the defendant. BRADLEY V. ROBERTS. This was an action to recover £ 28s7d for shop goods. Mr Jones appeared for plaintiff. The only item in dispute -v,-as a credit for L,2, which the defendant contended had teen paid at two several times. The plaintiff explained tltat it was the same amount but hal been twice credited and this view being adopted by the Judge his Honour immediately gave judgment for plaintiff. INSOLVENCY. Thomas Griffiths, an insolvent, had hi3 final order for protection. Mr Jones supported the petitioner. WILLIAMS V. ROBERTS. This was a squabble about a fence, but on the case being called 011 the plaintiff, by the advice of Mr J Buckton, of Mold, his advocate withdrew i. Mr Jones appeared for defendant.

THE TITHE COMMUTATION ACT AND NEW CEMETRIES, —The inhabitants of the Ecclesiastical parish of Ruabon, have lately had a new cemetery for the burial of the dead, and doubt having been expressed by some of the members of the Burial Board, as to the liability of ground so converted to Tithe rent charge, the clerk was instruct- ed to apply to the Tithe Commissioners to ascertain if cemeteries were liable to the charge and the answer given was, that the land converted to any purpose was still liablf. TOWNSHIP ROADS.—The township roads, in the parish of lluabon. have for some time baen considered in a had state of repair, and the management of the same, under the old regulation of appointing some of the inhabitants as surveyors, has appeared to be very irre- gularly carried out, consequently, some of the leading ratepayers of the parish have moved in the matter, and appointed a committee to investigate the whole system, and to report the result to the Vestry; znd if represented to correspond with the general opinion entertained, an en- deavor is to be made to have a paid surveyor appointed for the whole of the said roads in the parish, in a similar way in which turnpike roads are managed. DOLGELLEY. DISSOLUTION OP THE GAD nil IDRIS RrFLE CORPS.— An appointment for drill and inspection having been made for 8 o'clock on the evening of the 22nd instant, at the Bowling Green, about 40 of this fine corps met. When the captain arrived he said he was in a hurry, could not remain, and left abruptly, without addressing the men, or giving them any explanation of his sudden departure, whereupon they marched to the Town Hall, and agreed to the motion of one of their body, break up the corps at once." We are informed this will lead to the resignation of the officcr, and a re-conatrucbon of th" ectrns- DENBIGH. MR MAINWARIXG.—In another column will be found a tolerably complete report of the rix hours' wrangling at Denbigh, on Thursday last, by the shareholders of the Yale of Clwyd Railway Company. The fix that com- pany is reduced to is anything but satisfactory to the shareholders, and we should not be much surprised if the next meeting turns out to be more disagreeable than the last. The position of affairs just now may be stated in a few words. The company went to Parliament with a Bill to enable them to extend their line over the river Foryd to the sea, by which means, amongst other ad- vant ages, they would have a perfectly independent line into Rhyl. As a matter of course, the North-Western company opposed, and put in a claim for running powers" over the whole of the Vale of Clwyd Line, and at the eleventh hour" Colonel Wynn, on behalf of the Vale of Clwyd Company, conceded this boon to them. So fatal to the interests of the Vale of Clwyd company was this concession deemed, that a resolution had been passed before.hand, and a copy forwarded to Mr Towns- hend Mainwaring, the Chairman of the Company, stat- ing that on no account were running powers to be acceeded." The letter containing this resolution was re- ceived by Mr Mainwaring in ample time to prevent the fatal concession being made, but the committee-room was close and unhealthy, and Mr Mainwaring was not very well," so that gentleman did not attend.-Ot. westru Advertiser, ELLESUBRIS. I SPECIAL MEETINGS OF THE LOCAX, GOVERNMEINT BOARD. I Held on Monday, May 28th, isou.— Present (Japtain Cust (in the chair), Messrs. Stanton, Salter, Cooley, Wright, Lowe, Parry, and Brothendge; Mr W. H. Randies, (clerk,) and Mr W Pay (surveyor). FIRST MEETING. The minutes of the last meeting were read and con- firmed. There was a conversation about the widening I and improving of Sparbndge-street, but further con- sideration of the subject was deferred to a future meet- ing- 0- MR GOUGU 8 ACCOUNT, &C. I The Clerk said he had received a statement from the late Gas Inspectors, which showed that a balance of X20 and upwards was due to Mr Gough. The statement being considered satisfactory, Mr Cough's claim waa ordered to he paid, as was also a debt due to Mr S Lea, on ac- count of engine rate. A bill of 28, which was said to be due to a tradesman of the town, was found to have been previously discharged, the voucher for thb same being produced by Mr Gough. How the mistake arose did not transpire. THE WEIGHING MACHINE. 'U I I I .1 I This subject was again Drougnt betore the board. mr J Jenks having signified his intention of disposing of the machine for the sum of tio, it was agreed that it would not be desirable for the board to purchase it, but as it of Lord Brown l ove, it was comignous to the property of Lord BroWnloW, it would be better that it P= be purchood by that nobleman, and let to the board with market tolls. This concluded the business of the first meeting. THE SECOND MEETING, Constituted as befcvintilvc the purpose of taking tLuijibufii ajffdaMv with the t^rms of the Local Oovv.^jiifcut Act, which provides that one-third of the sum her of mem bers should retire annually, and that no member should remain in office for a longer period than three ytars. As the pres- ent number of members was not divisible by 3—the number being 13-it was decided that five should retire; and as one vacancy had been created by the death of Mr John Langford, four of the present members would have to retire. The next question vias-94 Viho is to retire?" This delicate aud important question then came on for 1 consideration, and seemed to be a perplexing and invidi- ous affair. The Clerk said it was entirely discretionary on the part of the board as to the method of retiremeut, as no provision was made by the Act of Parliament on this head; but, on the contrary, the members could adopt whatever plan they thought best suited to the purpose. In some places the lowest on the poll at the last election had retired in others the position of members was taken into consideration and at Croydon those who had at- tended the least number of times were the the retiring members. Mr Biotheridge said that in some places, he believed, he highest and lowest on the previous poll, to the num- ber requisite, had retired. Mr Salter observed, as did also Mr Stanton, that they would volunteer to retire, but this was objected to. Mr Salter then proposed, and Mr Stanton seconded the proposition, that a sort of ballot should be adopted for this purpose. Mr Wright proposed, and Mr Lowe seconded the motion, that the four lowest on the last poll should retire. Mr rarry concurred in the latter proposition, remark- I ing that as the ratepayers had placed them in that po- sition, it would be but fair to submit to the public opinion, and that accordingly those parties should retire. The amendment was then put to the meeting, when lour hands were held up in support of it. The original motion was also put, and four hands were held up in support of that, but the Chairman disposed of the question by giving his casting vote in favour of the original motion. The question now arose-" How was the ballot to be conducted ?" It was at length agreed tnat tne names ot tile mem- bers of the present board should be written on slips of paper, then wrapped up and placed in a hat; the same to be drawn out one by one, until four only remained in it, and those left in were tj be the names of the parties who should retire. This process having been gone through, the result was t lit the lot fell upon Mr Stanton, Mr Lowe, Mr Parry, ai id Mr Hignett; but all of them are, of course, eligible fo.. re-election at the proper time, and from the well- kn owQ business habits of the parties there can ba little doL tbt but they will be again members of the board. Thi s importaot portion of the business having been hap- pily and satisfactorily concluded, the meeting broke up CHESTER. I CH T5TER PENNY BANK--This institution, the suc- cess (. if which has been fairly tested by experience of fifteen months, has now been adopted by a body of gen- tlemen, in whose iHands, as far as they are concerned, it cannot fail to continue increasing in prosperity and doing th e moral good indirectly for which it was design- ed, when undertaken in the first instance by the Rev. George S lit, rector of At Bridget's in the city. The fol- lowing additions and a Iterations are about to come into force undeT the new regi ne. 1. Time of opening.—On and afler the 18th of Jun v the bank will be open once instead of twice a week, ie.-every Monday evening, from seven, to half-paat < ight, at St Bridget's School- house, opposite the Savings Bank. 2 Interest at the rate of £2 10s per cent. pe. annum will be allowed on each sum of 10s for every six months during which such sum or' sums shall have II mained in the bank. THE FEF;MENAGH MILITIA,- -This corps, which has been statioi led for some time at Chester, and for the last few weeks have been under 01 ders to leave, took their departure llll Monday last by rail for Manchester, under the comma ad of Lieut. Colonel the Hon. S. Crichton. A detachm ent of about sixty men still remain in this city. During the stay of the corps in Chester, the gen- eral corduct of the men has been wich as to merit the approval ot our citizens. THE FLINTSHIRE VALE OF CT, WYD RIFLE I CORPS.

Sir Pyers Moatyn, Bart., occupied the chair, and Capt. Thomas, John Sisson, and T G Dixon, Esqrs. severally the vice-chairs. There were also present Sir Stephen Glynnc, Bart., Lord Lieutenant of the County, Colonel Wynn, M.P., Captain Edwards, Charles Crockford, Esq.

He hoped that the same kindly tecling whioh prevailed tiien would lon continue. l??ulat' altendanee at d riH was? tbo only way to insure pro?eauy. He was SUM that when the time came for actual service, if it ever did c IK the Flintshire Vale of Clwyd Rifle Corps would ,1C fouud amongst the foremost in. the ranks. The Chairman proposed the 11 Army and Navy The best way to preserve peace was to be prepared t< <r war; j and he should urge the necessity of keeping bo. ? aer- vices in a thorough state of ntBeiency. Col. Wynn who responded, said he had knov rn one branch for 16 years. He attributed the superio rity of our army over any other to the fact that every British soldier was a volunteer. The Chairman gave Col. Wynn and the F. V. C. R. Corps." Col. Wynn felt honoured at being the head of Much a corps.

FRANCE AND THE ENGLISH V OLUEER.S.-In a letter from Paris we read—" I can give you a ctuious bit of information, namely, that the etat major of the French army has his eye on the doings el the English rifle corps volunteers, and has nominated a commission to come to England and quietly to make their observations. I am not permitted to state the name of the chief of this commission publicly, but give it to you in a aide note for your own private information, and to vouch for my truthfulness. As the gentleman is not only a soldior but a journalist, the name may not be unknown to you. There is no great harm in the proceeding, but it shows that there is an eye to the internal defences of England. It may create a little jealousy, but rather let us hope a little rivalry, to state that the Frenchman I allude to has given the palm, as far as his own observations ex- tend, to the Queen's own corps." I don't know any- thing of the corps, or a member belonging to it, to my knowledge, but simply repeat the remarks I have heard." THE Hop DUTY POSTPONEMENT.—MI Gladstone, in a letter to Mr Dodson, M.P., gives the following reply to the demands of the hop planters for a delay in the collection of the moiety of the duty now coming due:— I am prepared to give directions to the Board Of JD- land Revenue that they shall allow any period of time not exceeding four months, to such persons as may desire to take advantage of the accommodation subject ta the following conditions—that they shall show to the satis- faction of the Board that they are thomsel ves the actus I proprietors of the hops in respect of which the claim is made; and they have charged with interest at the tc-to I of five per cent per annum from tbo day on which pay- ment ahould in the regular course have been made and that they should, comply with the other usual terms as to seourity.

There were good arrivals of foreign whe it, barley, and Oats last week, with few of other grain. The exports were 125 qrs wheat, 35 qrs Oats. The English wheat suppy was 7,279 qTS, the foreign simples from Kent and EsMX, and good qualities moved off slowly, at former quotations. The liberal supply of foreign made trade calm, but holder* are not disposed to lower the range of prices. The quantity of country flour was 19,002 sacks, of foreign there were 1,141 sacks. Norfulks were not ia active request thi* morning, though fully former prices were paid. It Wit the sarue also with foreign and town made qualities. Of British barley there weie 788 qrs, of foreign 15,142 qrs. The malting season being over, and the rains and due ueither coutributiug to the increase of cattle feed, all de- scriptions gave way in value Is to 2s per qr. In malt tiler. was very little trade, but fine qualities were held at former rates. The entire supply of oats was 38,833 qrs, consist-a ing of 3G8 qrs English, 990 qrs Irish, and 37,475 qrs foreign. Thu large and welcome supply found a readF tale, at 61 per qr under last Monday's rates for filie quali- ties, and rather more for light descriptions. Of ENGLISH beans there were 602 qrs, of foreign 515 qrs. Bnt few English being on offer, all aorta were firm. The quantity of homs-grown peas was 190 qrs, with 514 qrl fonigm* Though little was doing, prices were steady. MARK LANE CORN MARKET.-WEDNKSDAY. A very limited supply of English wheat was on offer IN to-daylti market, coastwise and by laud-carriage. Goodi and fine samples were in fair request, at full prices; butt inferior qualities changed hands slowly, at late rates. The supply of foreign wheat moderate. Forall kinds, the inquiry was much restricted; nevertheless, we have DO change to notice in prices. Floating cargoes of grain were dull, but no cheaper. We have to report a dull sale for barley, at Monday's decline in value. There was very little doing iit malt. Prices, however, were supported. For oats, the inquiry was somewhat restricted, at Monday's curreney. Beans and peas were in fair request; but flour waa a dull inquiry, on former terms. GLASGOW CORN MARKET.—MONDAY Wheat was firmly held at full prices, but little bouoctt doing. Spring coru dull. LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET.—TDBSDAT. We bad only a small attendance of buyers at market this morning, aud the demand for both wheat and floor was quite in retail, at the quotations of Friday last. In- dian corn met rather a better inquiry for nne qualities* which being scarce brought extreme rates; other descrip- tions dull. Oats and oatmeal were no lower thaa Friday, but very difficult of sale. Egyptian beans steady at Friday's decline. Peas (id to lsperqr., and barley 14 per bushel lower. The market partook ot a quiet charac- ter throughout. LIVERPOOL CATTLE MARKET.—MONDAY. Supply of cattle much less than last Monday. Sheep about the same. Lambs much lower. Demand very good for cattle and sheep, at full prices for each. Lambs slow sale, and, although lower last week, were still very high. Beef, 8d to 9d.; mutton in wool, lOd to Hid. clipped* gi to 8 £ d.; lambs, 9d to 9^d per lb. 842 cattle and 8,97$ sheep at market. LONDON CATTLE MARKET.—MONDAT. There was rather an increased supply of foreign stock OIL off-r in to-day's market and amongst it were some very prime beasts from Spain. Compared with Monday last, the supply of home-fed beasts here this morning tru mod" erately good but the general quality of the stock was by no means first-rate. Most breeds moved off slowly, at Thurs- day's decline in value, The best Scots and crosses, how- ever, were worlh 584d per 81b, The arrivals from Nor- folk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire amounted to 2,500 Scots, crosses, and Shorthorns; from other parts of England,! 450 of various breeds; and from Scotland, « Scots. No arrivals from Ireland. The show of moat breeds of sheep was on the increase. The mutton trade was in a sluggish slate, at 6d W 81b less money than OIL Monday last. The top quotation was 61 per 81b. There was a moderate sale for lambs, at 7s 6d for downs, and pt I to 6s 8d fir Dorset and Isle of Wight qualities. We hid a slow sale for Calves, on easier terms. The best red sold at 5a 6d per 81b. The pork trade was heavy, at dropping currencies. LONDON PRODUCE MARKET.—MONDAY. The colonial markets being closed for the holidays, there i1 nothing new to report. Tea very firm, and since the receipt of the news from China, scarcely anything offering. Newrly.30,000 packages are advertised for sale on Wed- nesday. Tallow, 52s 3d to 528 6d.; spot, õ18 9d. last three months. Linseed oil, 28,¡ to 28s 3d. S.

There is no noticeable change in the trade for seeds. Occasionally sales are made of red seed where quality and price meet the buyers' views.

REVIEW OF THE CORN TRADE.
REVIEW OF THE CORN TRADE. A veek of summer temperature having followed the late fine rain, the rapid progress of vegetation has been everywhere remarkable. Saould the same favourable weather continue, neither the hay nor corn crops m.y be much if all, behiud the usual period. The wheat. however iu several localities looks thin, and there have been many e olDplaillU of unusual ravages by insects.. The L. f losses too, s ustained by graziers nave nrougnt room JUCU 1 a rise in aui loal food that cereali must be valuable" substitutei. ,UthOugb some check has been felt by the t -rein- temper iture, tbit wheat trade has for the moat part being stea, iy, or prices Is higher thonghoat the itc uutry. Irelaii(I is recovering from the effact. 01 the fir it imports, a large consnoiption gradually cleariog than Oil I and Scotland, casing from the usual shipment* sou ihwarde, haa followed the English markets* Eritt. ia tbe Bailie have littl 9 changed, aud this has alio been the rult with Holland autl Belgium. The French tnarkaU havi rather rallied for wheat, and given more firmness to the 1 lour trade ia Paris.

r- I MISCELLANEOUS. I DEATH OF PETER PAULEY.—The decease of Mr S G Croodrich, whose versatile and popular writings for youthful readers have litrtally made thf name of Peter Tarley "familiar as a household word" wherever the [English language is sp,lken, took place at his late resi- dence in this city on Wednesday afternoon. He had re- itentlv made arrangements fur removing his residence to a village in the State of Connecticut, and curuing from that place where were all his family xeet-t one son, em Tuesday afternoon, the nest day h" found himself so unweil as to demand the aid of bis friwily physician. Jlis illness, which proceeded from an a Election of the leart, was m-t supposrd to be of an al;it riling character, until just before four o'clock, wheu it assumed a severe f lorm. and in twenty minutes he had brc.ithed his last. Mr Goodrich was descended from an ancient and highly respectable family in Connecticut, several members of which have been distinguished in literature anJ public life. His native phco was Ri'iiri'lMd, where he was born August 19, 1793. In hi: copious and entertaining Recollections 01 a Lifetime," has left un record a -variety of autobiographical details, as well ai sketches of a great number of his prominent contemporaries. He commenced life as a publisher i" Hartford, and after a "Viit to Europe in 1S24, remove t to Boston, where he .continued the same business in an enlarged firm. One •of his earliest ènterplise was the establishment of an original illustrated annual, callnd Tiin Token," which lie edited from 1821 to 1842, contributing to it several tales and pornis from his own pen. Several of Raw- 'thi'me's most admired Twice-told Tales" nrst saw the light in this woik. The eerics of juvenile books issued under the name of Peter l'arlcy was begun soon after the removal of Mr Goodrich Boston. They at once attracted attention, and ahart-d largely in the favour of the public. Their familiar and animated style, their frequent picturesque deseiiptions, and their unaffected .BVmpft'.hy with the tastes of the young, pave them a uni- versal fascination among juveuile readers, while they were recommended to maturer minds by the graceful and graphic form in which so much valuable knowledge was clothed. In 1837 Mr Goodrich published co lection of his poems, entitled" The Outcast and other poems;" in 1838, a volume addressed to parents, entitled Fireside Education;" in 1.841, a selection of 1Jh contributions to pe-iidical literature, called Sket- ches from a Student's Widow;" and in 1857, his Recollections of a Lifetime." He was also the origi. nator of Merry's Museum and Parley's Magazine." which he edited from 1851 to 1854. The last work which appeared under his name is the "Illustrated Natural History," published about a year since in this city. The whole number of his productions is more than 170, including a variety of educational, juvenile, and miscellaneous works, besides those already mentioned. Although chiefly engaged in the walks of literature, Mr Goodrich took an active part in the affairs of life, and al- ways cherished a deep interest in politics. He was at one time a member of the Massachusetts Senate, and a candidate for Congress, in that State. During the ad- ministration of President Fillmore, he held the office of U. S. Consul at Paris, where he made many friends by his kindly manners and cordial hospitality. Mr Good rich was in his 67th year at the time of his death, al- though his appearance and manners indicated a person much less advanced in life. His excellent qualities of mind and heart had rendered him the object of general esteem, and his memory will long be cherished by his acquaintance as a man of uncommon worth and intelli- gence.—New York Tribune. MURDER OP A WOMAN AT ALDBRSHOTT.—The coro- ner for Surrey held an inquest on Saturday at Alder- shott, on the body of Anne Read, a fine young woman of 18, who, it is alleged, had been brutally murdered at the camp at Aldershott on the previous Saturday night by two privates of the Military Train, named John Far- rell and Martin Conway. From the evidence adduced, it appeared that the deceased, who was one of the class termed unfortunates, had been in company with the ac- cused men in the camp on Saturday evening, and late at night was seen proceeding with them towards the com- mon, and in the direction of the Basingstoke Canal, Hannah Roloar, an acquaintance of the deceased, left her in company with the accused; and shortly afterwards on passing over Bateman's-hill, heard loud screams of Murder," in a woman's voice, coming from the canal, and cries Ob, Lord! Oh, Lord 1 do let me alone,' and then a sudden splash in the water, and all was Bi- Charles Pickett, lock-keeper, found the deceased's 1. j. in the canal. Her clothes were torn to pieces, as it been engaged in a fearful struggle, and marks ut engine violence were visible on the body. Police- ci'ustaole Cox, who apprehended the accused, told them he charged them with wilful murder, when Conway re- plied, And a good thing tooand Farnell added, "And 10 say I." He searched them and found on Conway a parse and some other articles be- longing to the unfortunate woman. Other evidence was brought forward, which left no doubt that the prisoners maltreated and plundered the woman, and then threw her into the canal. The jury retured a verdict of" Wil- iolmurder" against Conway and Farrell, and the coro- ner issued his warrant, committing them to their trial on the capital charge. SINGCLAB CIRCUMSTANCE.—A remarkable circumstance in natural history occurred in Miss Sparrow's schools, in the village of Colwich. During the holidays in Easter week, one of the windows of the boys' school being j open, a robin flew in and built her nest between two parcels of books on a shp!f, which any of the boya could reach. On the re-assembling of the school, the nest waa shown to the boys, and it was put to their good feelings that the bird should be aUowed to lay her eggs and hatch them in peace; 8ud for this purpose the window by which she entered was still loft open, so that she might come and go as she pleased. There are more than one hundred boys on the books, and nearly that number in daily attendance, so the fate. of the poor bird seemed to hang upon a very slender thread, as one mischievour hand would have been enough to des- troy all her hopes. To the great credit, however, of the boys, not one has been found untrue to the pledge which they all virtually gave, and she has been allowed for five weeks to fly in and out unmolested—to lay her eggs, and hatch her young, and at last to take them all off in safety. It has been throughout a very wholesome act of self-discipline to the school, and a very interesting lesson in natural history. Whilst the boys have been at work or at play, or even singing at morning prayers, the bird has been going in and out, apparently quite uncon- cerned, fetching worms for her chicks, or sometimes sitting at the open window watching the scholars, if not joining in their song. Her mate seldom, if ever, ven- tured into the room, but constantly brought inaeots to the window or to a neighbouring tree, which she fetched away to her brood as fast as he supplied them. Last Monday, being strong enough on the wing to be safely trusted out (though not able to fly up to the high win- dow at which the dam entered), the young birds were caught and allowed to fly into the neighbouring bushes. Till then it had not been observed that there were more than four of them, but after four of them had been caught and sent out, the mother still kept flying in and about the room as if in search of something. At length a chirp was heard on the floor, and there a fifth chick was found which was caught and put through the window to the rest, to the great and unmistakeable delight of the mother, who flaw to welcome it with joy, apparently proving beyond a doubt that the anxious parent could count her flock and miss one if absent. Since then she has returned to the room no more. It will be a matter of interest to see whether another year she will seek again the quarters where she has met with such hospital treat- ment.—Staffordshire Advertiser. IHPJIOVIJ) MODE OP POSTING LETTERS, &c.—LA order to prevent as much as possible the breakage of seals, and the rubbing off labels from letters when posted at St. Martin's-le-Grand, the whole of the debouches to the let. ter-boxes have been fitted with small hopper?, attached to which is an inclosed sliding board, leading directly to the facing table," so that the" broom," formerly rued for sweeping the mass of letters from time to time out of the boxes, is no longer necessary. V EJtY IMPOSING.—The following letter was received by a lady in the neighbourhood of Birmingham the other day. Its imprudence is unsurpassed, and we should imagine that, however well stocked with fools the world i, no sane being need be warned agaiust the pathos of the anony- mous writer. The letter bears the Church Stxetton post- mark :—" Madam,—I trust that the intimacy which ex- isted in my girlhood with your family and my own yon will accept as an apology for my now writing to you, which I am induced to do in my present pecuniary diffi culties, with the hope that you may perhaps kindly give me a little help, for I am reduced from a state of affluence to one of need, so much that I assure you I should feel most thankful to you for the smallest donation. You Imult pardon me for withholding from you my name at I present. Do not, I pray you, for this reason, look upon me with suspicion, and disregard my appeal, but believe me when I tell you that it is an urgent and truthfu one aud that only the pressing necessity of my situation could induce me to make such an application to any one. If you should think fit to send me a trifle, it may be for- warded in postage stamps, and I should indeed feel very grateful to yon.—I am, madam, yours most respectfully, F. W. W., Post-office, Shrewsbury."—Birmingham. Daily Tott. THE MARRIAGE OF THB PRINCE OF "WALES.—There is a rumour abroad about the forthcoming matrimonial alliance of the heir apparent to the British throne with a Princess of Prussia. German newspapers, solemn al- ways and full of erudition, inform us that all the parti- culars of this union have long been determined,—arrang- ed, in fact, at tha time of the nuptials of our Princess Royal with young Prince Frederick William of Prussia. It was then settled, we are given to understand, that there should be a "Double Marriage" between the royal families of Great Britain and Hohenzollern: such double marriage as was seriously contemplated a cen- tury ago by the then monsrehs of England and Prussia, but unfortunately broke off at the eleventh hour, to the great grief of a a certain Crown.Prince Frederick, no less than of his latest British biographer. Indeed, his- tory tells us that German princes have always been very foad of arranging these cross alliances as we might call them; and that is owing to the principle which they in- volve, that the whole of European royalty is at the pre- sent moment one vast family of brothers, sisters, and ooiuins,. The Emperor Napoleon is, we believe, the -only monarch of the western world not directly related ■to the august family though even he. by means of more or leas distant cousinship, is somewhat drawn towards ithe mystic circle, With this single exception, if it is J such, the whole of the royal houses of Europe form but one family, all the members of which are blood relations (The Stock or root of this family is in Germany-—thi> fatherland pre-eminently—and it is there, apparently, that a continual desire is felt to unite the branches of thia tree, more and more, to engraft like OIl H*WL ¡', £ be titie ef courtesy of M Mon frlere," by which European sovereigns addreaa aaoh other, II to o- pro UUUMWIJ ft complete

AGITATION ON THB PAPER DUTY.—A crowded meet- ing, convened by circular, and held at Fendall's Hotel, Palace yard, London, on Friday, formed itself into a Constitutional Defence Committee, having for its object to resist the encroachment of the Peers. Mr James White, late M.P. for Plymouth, was requested to act as permanent chairman, and Mr William Hargreaves was elected treasurer. Subscriptions amounting to nearly zelOO were announced in the room. An executive com- mittee was appointed, which will sit daily. Mr H. Brookes was appointed to the office of secretary. At a subsequent meeting of the executive committee it was resolved to hold meetings in each of the different boroughs of the metropolis, and to enter into communi- cation immediately with various towns in England south of Birmingham. A similar committee has been consti- tuted in Manchester, which will correspond with towns in the north of England. THB LIVERPOOL SUBSCRIPTION POR THE POPE.- Some time ago the Catholics of the diocese of Liverpool forwarded an address to the Holy Father expressive of their sincere sympathy under the trying circumstances in which he was placed. This address bearing 53,000 signatures, was presented by the Bishop of Liverpool, who is still in Rome, and was most graciously received. On Holy Thursday, the bishop took to the Holy Father 21000, the munificent and affectionate offering of one of his flock. On the 4th of the present month his lord- ship had another audience at the Vatican, and laid at the feet of the vicar or Christ £2000 as a further offering feet of the vicar of Christ X- from a devoted and faithful people. Last week another sum was remitted, amounting to £ 4220, and this in a few days the bishop will in like roaoner present to the common fither of the faithful. Thus, in little less than two months, there has been forwarded from the diocese of Liverpool more than £ 7000.—Tublet. A CUBIOUS STOHY.—One of the Havre Journals has the following somewhat improbable story A widow Mme. R-, possesses a large farm in the depart- ment of the Rhone, and manages it herself, assisted, however, by her daughter, Helene by name, who is twenty-two years of age. One morning some time ago a young man wearing a foreign costume, and speak- ing French with a strong German accent, presented him- self at the farm, and solicited work. Mme. R told him that she had no need of labourers, and that besides be appeared too weak for the heavy toil of a farm. On that he burst into tears, and cried, 4 I am very unhappy I I belong to a noble Hungarian family, named Jublonski, and had the misfortune to be concern- ed in a conspiracy against Austria. The plot having been discovered, I had to take to flight, in order to escape certain death. I am at this moment without money and without a home, but here is a lettf-r from one of my uncles, announcing that he will send to M. Parding, a merchant of Havre, 10,000f. to enable me to go to America; but in the meantime what can I do ?' Mme. R 1 ■ —, moved by this sad tale, offered hos- pitality to the exile. Before long the latter pretended to fall in love with Helene, and succeeded in inspiring her with a passion for him. He proposed marriage, was ac- cepted, and he showed letters which he said came from his family, and which gave their consent to the union; but be pretended that in his quality of exile he could not obtain from Hungary the papers necessary for the celebration of the marriage according to the Fiench form. lie, accordingly, suggested that the young wo- man should accompany him to America, where marriages are more easily celebrated, and, strange to say, her mother consented; what was more, the mother gave her daughter 4000f. on a Paris Banker, and some bills to re- ceive. The couple went to Havre, and the man affected to be greatly pained on learning that the 10,000f. which he expected had not arrived; he, however, made the young woman give him the draft of 4000f., which he got discounted, and he likwise obtained from her an author- isation to receive the other sums due to her mother. He took up his residence with her at an hotel, but he neglect- ed her to spend his time in bad company. At last, having spent all the money she -was to receive, and having pawned all her jewellery and effects, he abandoned her altogether. Having then made the acquaintaince of a respectable young man, he affected to fall in love with her sister, proposing marriage to her; but he borrowed money from the man, and then broke off the match. Finding himself without resources, lie had recourse a few days back to an extraordinary expedient: he wrote to Mme R a letter, purporting to come from her daughter, giving an account of the scandalous man- ner in which she had been treated, and the distress to which she had been reduced, and imploring money to enable her to return home. The mother immediately despatched a note of 200f.; but when the man presented himself at the ilddreis to which by his direction the letter had been sent, he was arrested by the police, the young woman having dtnounoed him. He is, it appears, a liberated couvict." -Galignani. THE PRINCE OP WALESPS VISIT TO CANADA.—The Hon. Mr Cartier has informed the Canadian Parliament that his excellency had received information that the Prince would not leave England before the 15th of July. The Government intended to move resolutions in both houses, to be the bases of addresses to be presented to the Prince when he arrived in Quebec, and the Government desired that such addresses should be presented by the respective speakers. It was de- sirable, too, that the members of both houses should ?be* present in Quebec on the arrival of his royal highness, should accompany their speakers when presenting the addresses, and should also accompany the Prince to Montreal, and there be present at the inauguration of the Victoria Bridge. In regard to the expenditure, the intention of the Government was to ask a vote of credit of both houses, to be met next session by a vote of the Legislature. THE DISTUKBANCKS AT ST GKORGE'S-IN-THE-EAST. — The services here on Sunday last were conducted in strict conformity with the mooition issued by the Bishop of Lon- don on the 19th instant, inasmuch as" the siuging boya and singing men" alluded to in that document Aid not eu- ter the church in processioq as heretofore, nor did they occupy seats within the railings of the commuuioa table, but were accommodated, such of them as chose, with seats in the organ loft provided for them by the churchwardens. In Other respects, so far as the iuterruptions on the part of the congregation were concerned, there was little improve- ment on former occasions. FUNERAL OF Ma ALBERT SMITH.—On Saturday after- noon the remains of Mr Albert Smith were deposited be- side those of his father in the Brompton cemetery. The funeral was of the most private character, consisting only of the hearse and a single mourning coach, the ouly occu- pants of which were bis father-in-law, Mr Keeley, the comedian, his brother, Mr Arthur Smith; and the physician.

BOROUGH M.AGISTrtATE' COURT.…
BOROUGH M.AGISTrtATE' COURT. MONDAY, MAY 28. I860.—Before Thomas Edgworth, Esq ex-mayor. Dr Williams, and Captain M'Cov DitIJ-.iKBNXESS.-John Downs was in custody charged with being drunk and disorderly. Mary Roberts, (wife of Mr Roberts, provision dealer, Salop-ioad) stated that thev heard a great knocking at the shop door on Sunday, which for some cause they did not pay any attention to. At last she went to the door and saw the prisoner there drunk who said that he wanted some tobacco. She told him they did not sell any on Sunday. He then pushed at the door and cut her forehead. (Complainant's fore- head was bound up with a handkerchief.) Prisoner ad- mitted being drunk. He said he was a native of Malpas, and h:id just been discharged from the East India Com- pany's service. Fined 14s and costs. In default of payment he was committed to Ruthin for 14 days. UNWHOLESOME MEAT.—Edward Partin was sum- moned for having in his possession meat that was un- fit for human food. Mr Gummow said he had occasion to go to the defendant's slaughter-house on the 19th ult, when he saw a quantity of mutton hanging up that was unfit for human food. On questioning the defendant about it he told him that it was a sheep that had died. In reply to the bench Mr Gummow stated that it was dressed as if it was for sale. Mr Higins deposed to having destroyed the meat by a magistrate's order, which he produced. In defence Partin said the meat did not belong to him. It died in the field, and the owner asked him would he have it, and he took it to the slaughter-house to skin it. Fined 10a., and 8a. costs. The Clerk afterwards read the act of Parliament to the defendant, shewing that be was liable to a fine of ten pounds for having such meat in his slaughter-house whatever his intention with regard to it might be. ILLEGAL WEIGHTS AND MEASURES.—James Griffiths, Hugh Jones, and George Smith, were summoned by Mr Bradshaw, Inspector of Weights and Measures, for hav- ing illegal weights and measures in their possession on the last fair day. Each of the defendants kept a Holly Bush" in the Beast Market. Mr Bradshaw said he had visited eight of these houses and selected the three now summoned as the worst. One pint jug was 31 oz. over the measure and a half-pint glass 2 oz. under. Also a weighing machine that was out of order. Griffiths's de- fence was that he was not aware that the jugs or glasses were wrong-he bought them at the Commercial sale, but one of them he used for new milk. As for the scales he never used it at all because it was out of rrder. De- fendant then fetched the scales and placed it on the table to show the bench that it would not work. Mr Brad- shaw then called Mr Lamb, who stated that he saw the scales on the table quite greasy, apparently from weigh- ing meat, and there was a small piece of stick placed so as to make it work. There was also a knife and fork by it. Defendant said he sold the meat at 6d. a plate, but did not weigh it. Fined 10s and 8s costs. Defendant was anxious to have possession of his scales again, but was informed by the court that it was forfeited. It was his own doing to bring it, but as he had brought it he must leave it. Hugh Jones was lined 10s and 6s costs, for having a number of jugs and glasses in his possession —some over and some under the measure. George Smith was also summoned for a similar offence. Defendant said he never interfered in the house, the glasses were bought at Bayley's. Captain M'Coy said it would be well to take notice of those who sold the glasses-he considered them more to blame than the parties summoned. Fined 10s and costs.
WREXHAM COUNTY COURT.I
WREXHAM COUNTY COURT. I WEDNESDAY, MAY 30, 1860.-Before Charles Wins- ton, Esq., Deputy Judge. There were 149 cases entered into court, some of which were withdrawn, others settled out of court, and the greater portion of those heard possessed no public interest. THOMAS JONES, (alias" TOM: Joss") v; CHAELBS FraHER AND CHAELES DAVIRS.-Tilig was an action to recover an amount due to the plaintiff from defendants for killing a cow, a bull, 3 sheep, 3 rams, one shilling cash lent, aud one shilling's worth of skewers. This case was stated amidst great laughter by the plaintiff, Tom Joss, who said that the defendants engaged him to kill at their slaughter-house—they being helpless drunk." He killed the two basfes" and worked hard at the bull. He dressed to.h 11 baitez," after they were killed, without any assistance, they having "whipped off somewhere." In defence, it was stated that Tom Joss was always drunk, and when he did help them he was paid before they began. On the day in question he was not em- ployed, but merely allowed to assist, and was paid for it that very diy. lie was alwaya paid for the skewers before they had them. Tom Joss. Five ram's heads was all I had. Then a discussion arose between Fisher and plaintiff-one saying "I dressed the beast," and the other saying I dreshed the baste." Judgment for 4s lOd given to the plaintiff. JOHNSON v. JONBs.-This was an action to recover the amount due for 6 sheep, at 38s each, bought in Feb- ruary last by Mr Thomas Jones, from Mr R W Johnson. Mr E Lovatt deposed to the same being delivered jE5 had been sent that morning, and judgment forthwith was given for the balance. WILLIAMS v. LESTEH.—This was action to recover wages due from Mr Lester to plaintiff, who had been in his employ. From the evidence given, it appeared that on the 8th May the plaintiff was unyoking the team from a drill, it being after 6 o'clock, the usual time for taking the horses home. Mr Lester proceeded to cross-examine the plaintiff, when the plaintiff said You told me to go" and b- your eyes, I'll knock your b- brains out." Plaintiff said he was not particular to a little ti me, but it was often ten o'clock before they left off their work, and when he asked him for his wages he said, not a d-- farthing." Judgment for plaiutiff. JOHN CROSS v. SAUAH EVANS.—This was an action to recover wages due to the plaintiff, he having been in the service of the defendant as farm servant, and tal left in consequence of having had liver and dry bread for his supper," and the victuals not being satisfactory as to quantity or quality, and on the day he left, after some words had passed between them, Mrs Evans had chucked some hot water upou him." John .Evans, a witness called, said they had dry liver and the heart of a pig for supper, but there warna hardly 'fticient of it;" but they got some pretty good some times. The plain- tiff's mother made a similar statement. Mr Acton ap- peared for the defence, and called Mrs Evane, who made a very different statement, and a verdict Was given for the defendant. INSOLVENCY.—Mr Cain Parry, Mold, appeared for a final order of insol vency, which was granted, there being no opposition, for John James, tailor, dope, HUGHES v. PHENIX.—This was action to recover the balance of an amount due for work done by plaintiff for defendant, Mr Phenix, wheelwright, Wrexham. Mr Jones appeared for the defence. For the defence it was alleged that the plaintiff had served his time, as wasoften the ease, in some couotry farm house, some Llan" or other in the heart of Wales, that he was a mere ap- prentice at his trade, and that Mr Phenix had lost by every job he had taken in hand and even lost work through him. Judgment for the defendant.
I MEETING OF THE TOWN COUNCIL.
MEETING OF THE TOWN COUNCIL. The usual quarterly meeting ot the Town Council was held in the Council Chamber, at the Guildbalf, on Wed- nesday last, when there were present Alderman John Clark, in the chair; Aldermen Joseph Clark and M'Coy; Councillors Rogers, Evans, Manuel Jones, Daniel Jones, T. Rowland, Overton, Edgworth, Bury, W Rowland and Bayley. Absent: The Mayor, Councillors Beale anl Davenport. After the reading of the minutes, the Town Clerk in- timated that if any member bad any matter to bring be. fore the Council he couli do so, as it was a quarterly meeting, without giving notice of the same. I WHBXHAM FAIKS. Mr Overton said he had something to say with regard to the fairs that were held in Wrexham. In many places fairs were now held monthly, and he thought it would be much better if such a plan were adopted in Wrexham. As it is, they are held at very irregular intervals, sometimes a long, and sometimes a short in- terval intervening. According to the present arrange- ment, the first was held in January; the next in March with sixty-eight days between them. The next was held on Roly Thursday followed by another on the 16th of .Tuae,-betweL,n. them there might be 15 days or there might be 47 days. Then follows the fairs in July, Sep- tember, October and December, all at irregular intervals. It would have a tendency to increase the business he thought if they were held more regularly, and he did not see why monthly fairs would not answer here as well as in any other plaoe. He would suggest that they should be held on a Thursday. Alderman Joseph Clark suggested the Thursday after the first Wednesday, as the fair would always then fol- low the Oswestry fair. A long desultory conversation followed Captain M'Coy, thought we had better wait until we had got pos. session ot the tolls before we moved in the matter. M r Daniel Jones objected to any alteration-the district he said was not suited to it like Shrewsbury and Oswestry Wrexham was a mining district. The alteration would only lead to confusion, as it had done in Shrewsbury, where they were obliged to go back to the old plan again. The chairman said he felt desirons of seeing the change proposed, but he was in hopes that the Corpora- tion would get possession of the Market Hall, and it that does take place he thought they would then be in a better position for making the alteration. Mr Rogers observed that there was very little feeding in this district—there was not one farmer in twenty thar. kept sheep, while around Chirk and in the direction of Oswestry, there was hardly a farmer but what kept sheep. This would make a difference in the fairs. After some further conversation It was unanimously agreed to refer the matter to a committee, tor the pur- pose of inquiring whether the change would be desirable, and as to the times of holding fairs in the neighbouring LfturnR- I  THBPUXPS. I I ..1. l .I. 1 1 1 -1 Mr Manuel Jones asked wnetner anytnmg naa Deen done yet in reference to the pumps-there was a great cry for water amongst the poor classes. After some time had elapsed the surveyor was called in, when Mr Jones asked him whether he had caused any of the pumps to be repaired, it so, how many ? The surveyor then produced a report he was preparing shewing that he was making a house to house survey of the town, whereby he should be enabled to amass a large amount of valuable information on other points aa well as the public pumps- ?Mr? Edgworth and several others thought it would be-better to act on the information they possessed and pMceed at OBM to compel some owners of property to nut their pumps in repair. Alderman M Coy named the Barn Field, the Yorkshire uareJ and certain places in the BeMt anatar the Cock, the owners of pro- ptity ia which pltm were ? baye lagugg that vialew < X K: K   L- '!T?T.?; ?. '?Lt!?!t?.).<%ar' ?w 7 $ I ihsy put their iiv M?ait they wou i j be suiuHaoned. Mr T Rowiaud seconded this, and it was carried unani- mousl v. I _nJ' THR SESSION CHAMBER. Mr Edsworth called attention to the unsightly state of the ceiling in the Session Chamber. After some con- versation it was agreed that the Town Clerk should write to the landlord. I SERVING OF SUMMONSES ON THE SEIZURE OF DISEASED MI: AT. Mr Edgworth said that air Bradshaw, superintendent of police, had spoken to him with reference to the serv- ing of the summonses in the cases of meat unfit for hu- man food. It appears these summonses have not been served by the police, which was some disadvantage as they did not appear in the returns made by the superin- tendent in consequence. Tt would be more convenient, and make the returns more complete if they were served by the police. The Chairman asked how they were served. Mr Higgins replied that when he obtained the first summons he asked Mr Fleetcroft who had been in the habit of serving them, when Mr Fleetcroft said "get who you like"—then he told me that Smith used to serve them. So I gave them to Smith to serve as usual. It was then agreed that all summonses for the future should be given to the police. Mr W. Rowland suggested that whenever a convic- tion took place tor selling meat unfit for humm food, the names of the parties convicted, with the amount they have been fined should be printed on placards, and one posted in the Market Hall, as the railway authorities do in BUCh cases. It would, he thought, have a most salutary effect. All appeared to concur in this, but as it was not a matter for the Council, but the Ljcal Buard, it would require the usua l notice. SALE OF POTATOES, I Mr Manual Jones called the attention of the Council to the continual infringement of the bye-laws by parties selling potatoes by measure instead of by weight. He gave an instance where a person of the name of Bellis, from near Mold, had refused to comply with the regula- tions when requested to do so. A long conversation took place in which most members took part, and terminated by agreeing to request Mr Bradshaw to summon those Darties who refuied to sell by weight.
.MEETING OF THE LOCAL BOARD.I
MEETING OF THE LOCAL BOARD. I The meeting of the Council was followed as usual by I a meeting of the Local Board, the same persons being present. COST AND SUPPLY OF GAS. I After the reading of the miuutes and some other routine business, the Town Clerk said the next business was To take steps for Lighting the Borough with Gas Cleaning, Painting, and Repairing Lamps and Lamp Pil- lars and Brackets, from and after the 31st of August next; and to make or advertise for the necessary Con- tracts for three years, or any less period." Mr Rogers said we pay more for Gas in "Wrexham than they do in other places, and the supply was some- times very detective. Sometimes last winter we were without light altogether. In Huddersfield they had taken steps for reducing the price of the gas, and the committee found upon inquiry that the highest price paid for gis in most towns was 3s to 4s per thousand feet—none higher. lie begged to propose that there should be a committee formed to inquire whether any- thing could be done to reduce the price of gas in Wrex- ham. A good deal of conversation took place on the point, and it was ultimately agreed to refer the question to the Highways Committee. THE COUNTY ROADS IN THE BOKOUGH. .Y. The County Surveyor, Mr Williams, wasm attendance to-day, fcr the purpose of coming to some arrangement with reference to county roads within the borough. He offered to give twenty pounds per annum for these roads, and put them in a proper state of repair with the game materials as the other roads in the town are repair- ed. On being asked if ne could not give thirty pounds per annum, he said he had not the power to do so, and when the roads were in a proper state of repair, he felt sure that the corporation would save six pounds a year out of the twenty that he had offered. The Board ulti- mately agreed to accept P,20 per annum, on the motion of Alderman M'Coy, seconded by Mr T. Rowland. The county surveyor said he should be prepared to let the I repairing of them for a term of years. THE LIGHTING OF THE TOWN. The subject of the lighting ot the town was then re- surned. Mr Overton said there were five nights in the month when the lamps were not lighted, and it very often happened that they were the darkest nights in the j month, (laughter). The Town Clerk said, Mr Barnet had made a mistake occasionally as to which were the moonlight nights. (great laughtef). The chairman observed that some of the nights at full jj moon are so dark that he was quite ashamed to see the town without any light at all. A good deal of conversation followed, most of the members expressing an opinion that it would be better to light the larrps the whole month through than to run the risk of leaving the town in the dark. TUB LAST or TilK LAbir riLl.AU, ..1 I ?- I The Town (Jlerk read the following letter which lie received from Mr Lewis, solicitor-" Yspytty, Wrex- ham, 24th May, I860.—Dear air,-Miss Bennion has consulted me upon the subject of the Lamp Pillar, near her gates, and I am instructed to take steps for its re- moval. I am well advised that the Council (or Local Government Uoard) is bound to carry out its resolution of the 3rd of March last; and that the subsequent motion made on the 28th of March, was not carried by leufil votes, and that a mandamus would issue to com- pel a performance of the original resolution. The m- terinls and cost of erecting the Pillar and Lamp in question, havinn been paid for by Miss Bennion. I do not See why she should not remove them herself; but I am lIIuch averse to her so doing without the formal sanction of the council. I hope no hostile position on the pait of any members of the Corporation will render legal pro- ceedings necessary, and I shall wait till the expiration of the coming week, with a view of affording every opportunity of adjusting the matter without further un- pleasantness, yours truly, J. Lewis. The Town Clerk at the request of the Board read the resolutions referred to in Mr Lewis's letter. Mr Edgworth cautioned the Board to be careful how they proceeded in the matter as he thought there was more than met the eye" in it. There might be some- thing further contemplated having reference to what took place between Bennion and Mr Rogers when the latter was surveyor of the Highways some time ago. Mr T. Rowland said he should ask the Town Clerk whether they were bound to remove the pillar or not. The Town Clerk replied that if the transaction par- took of the nature of a contract they were bound to it. A good deal of skirmishing took place, Captain M'Coy I proposing that a reply be sent to Mr Lewis, stating that the Board sanctioned its removal, which was second- ed by Mr Evans. t MrBayleysaid they should be careful of the public rights, and not surrender them under a threat. The letter stated that Miss Bennion bad purchased the pillar and paid fjr it, and that the resolution passed subsequently rescind- ing that agreement was carried by illegal votes-if that j were so, and Miss Benniou's legal adviser was so posi- tive of it, let him act upon it-It was not for that Board to take any action in the matter to relieve him from his difficulty, and clear his path—The resolution now on the minutea was for continuing the pillar in its present site, and he would move as an amendment that 11 the letter now read do lie on the table;" This was seconded by Mr T Rowland. On a division, there appeared for Alderman H'Coy's motion, Aldermeu Joseph Clarke, M'Coy, Councillors Bury, Rogers, Evans. Manuel Jones. For Mr Bayley's motion, Councillors Thomas Edgworth, Daniel Jones, G. Bayley, Overton, 1 IT n 1 m. 1'1. 1 • T. Rowland, w. itowtana. me unainnau gave his casting vote in favour of the original motion. It was afterwards agreed to have a lamp on the Green Dragon instead of the one on the Pillar. Mr D. Jones said Miss Bennion ought to pay for putting the pipes down afresh to the Green Dragon. The Town Clerk said, the surveyor was inquiring whether he was to claim the materials of the pillar after it was taken down. Alderman M'Coy: He'll not get them if he does. Mr Manuel Jones felt sure Miss Bennion would give them. Mr T. Rowland observed that Alderman M'Coy ap- peared to be acquainted with Miss Bennion's secrets, Mr Bayley said, Mr Manuel Jones also claimed that pri- vilege. I THE NEW POST OFFICE. The plans of the new post office were approved of. It was decided that the builder should not be required to put up a hoarding rail and platform during the progress of the works-only a hoarding. a I MORE TRAP DOORS. I The following application coming from a member of the Town Council, caused some amusement, but it was ultimately agreed upon by a majority of six to four. I, To receive an application from Mr D. Jones, of Wrex- ham, Cheese Merchant, for permission to construct cellar entrances to his house and shop, in Hope Street, occupied by Mr John Evans, from the footway of the said street, and to protect the same by trap doors; and to make such orders thereon as may be determined upon." Allowed Several letters were read by the Town Clerk at the close of the meeting, one from Mr Rowe, Mount Street, complaining of the smoke from a smithy, occupied by Mr Wright, blacksmith, belonging to Mr Rowland; Nags' Head. One from Mr Pontifex, Holt Street Terrace, complaining of the refuse from the White Horse yard. One from Mr Roberts, seedsman, asking permission to expose some of his goods outside the hoarding that has been erected in front of his premises. One from Mr Thomas Jones, gardener, asking for per- mission to have a standing in Queen Street, as he had last summer. All of these will appear in the business paper of the next meeting.
