A CONTENTED MIXIJ AND A GOOD CONSCIENCE —Whilst travelling the other day on the coach from Llangollen Road Station to Llangollen, wo were accompanied by a very i.iteresting and intel- ligent companion, w-iu appeared to know every house, tree, gite, and field, to the right hand and to the left; and as, in addition to his other agreeable qualities, he was exceedingly communicative, we were ill a fair way of being as conversant with the locality as fiirjiso 11". Pointrng to a roofless hut on the hill side he said that, one winter's evening, a labouring man roili-ed to rest in that cottage at the wonted hunr, allll, tind after the toils of the i.ay, wi;s soon fast asleep. During the night, a terrific storm came on. took awav the gable end of the bouse, a good portion of the roof, and committed j havoc enough to have awaked Samson himself without at nil disturbing our hero. He awoke at hi i usu il hour and his astonishment at finding these essential portions of his little mansion missing may be nioru eitiili, imigiaud than described THE LOCAL EISTKUDFOD. j"\ M I I \},I .1.<OU'ldV LIlt: 0; 11 illS:, tlW village of Llan- golieu vv<i3 thronged with visitors of ail clas-es, in- citt.liiii,- a lar,(., (If tilit Welsh bards, authors, and .lingers fro.n \arious parts of Walts.

COTTON* MANUR.\cruuEs.—The strike of eleven men at the Mold cotton mill is stated to have thrown 130 people out of work. The reduction of wages proposed being Is. in i la. or 7* in the pjund, about equal to the income tax, which a man earn- in a week ought to pay to Government. Mule spinners must be prepared for a change as well as other people. Cotton has varied in price within 30 years from ol lo 18d. a pound, and the frLi,,t from Amcrics hs been down to Is. GJ. a bale, and as iigik as .10s. Foreign markets are overdone with cotton goods, and muslins returned from Aus- tralia are advertised in the Illustrated News, July 4, page 23 therefore it is not likeiy the English nation will lack clothing for some time. It should also be remembered that wages are rnticli lower in Belgium than in this country, a good deal ot English capital has already found investment there, and if the strikes at Preston and other places I continue more will follow.

I IxRESt'ottn IJADIES CLUB.—T.us far-iamed and favourite gathering tootc place on Monday last, the loth inst. Cue members of the club assem- bled at 3 and after forming in procession, proceeded to the ciiapel of the Wesleyan Reformers, in the immediate neighbourhood, headed by the band of the Royal Denbigh Itifles, where two deeply impressive discourses were preached; the first by the Kev.

At the conclusion of tiie scrvioo, the me uners, with a number o' visitur:" returned to the B iwling Green, where a sumptuous tea hud been piovidetl ijy the host and hostess of the Griffin Inn. It would b; difficult to conceives more pleasing picture than the party at lea presented. The delightful distant scenery, propitious weather, gaily attired guests, and en- livening strains of the military band, all combined, imparted a delight and beauty to the scene that it has seldom been our lotto witness. Air. and Airs. Davies had spared no pains in providing for the comfort and refreshment of the visitors, ,III of whom appeared greatly pleased with the quality and bountiful supply of the viands. Wnen tea was over and the tables removed, the hand struck up a lively air, in obedience to which a great part of the company found themsel ves iu acti ve motion. Men and women moving here and there, coursing one another in their steps, had made their feet a tune." According to long established custom at this popul ir fete, the e majiseurs aid morefadi- ionable portion of the company occupied the higher ground ou the green, while the plehiurs nil iiovices arranged themselves on the Hat below. Some of the more critical complained of the time kept by the band, still all seemed to throw tilem- serves heartily into the giy scene, and "left mirth and music sound the dirge of care." When the ruu,ie ceased for a short interval, a promenade, a rest 011 the green bank, or a little refreshment varied the seene, after which dancing was resumed with fresh energy, the short cessation having pro- duced the most exhilirating effects upon the ex- ecti iii)ori the ex- hausted frames of the dancers. In this stvle tho merriment wis kept IUI until 9 o'clock, when the baud, by striking up God save the Queen" inti- I mated that the time for retiring had come, and the company separated, hieing their way homewards, &rcatiI with their graceful gambols on Cresford Circcn. The attendance, we have been ill- farmed, was somewhere hi)imt the avvrage of the last four or five yiars, the takings at the green amounted to £ 43 odd. Many of the visitors came from a con- siderable distance; some from Shrewsbury and sutne from Liverpool. The departures from Wrexham, per rail, iveic as follows first class, 17; second class 10; third class, 138;—return tickets; fii-st class 19, second class, 41; total, 22S. To these must be added the pedestrians, and the private and public vehicles, to make up the quota of Wrexham's cotitri- butioa to this popular annual meeting. Oswestry. U have much pleasure in stating that Air. J. Sides Davies, son of Mr. Davies, Church-street, of this town, has won the second premium tor the year for his knowledge of Chemistry in the Dublin School of Aledieine, as also the first premium for 15 itany. This is the more creditable to Air. liivies's talents and perseverence as the present is his first year at the school. A "BATCH" OF GUIEVANCES.—Our Oswestry correspondent in his communication of this week, is inclined to look on the dark side ot' matters coa- nected with the town. After reporting the Whit- tiugtou i Club pro farm*, he falls foul of the beer and ti irter which he stated was barely drinkable. He does not admire the letter letter which appeared in the Oswestry Advertiser criticising Mr. Cuthbert's sermon on the Comet and the Shrewsbury catastrophe, and recommends him not co go to church for such purposes. Apro- pos the church, ho does not see the use of putting up notices Oil the church door when the church- yard is closed against the parishioners except on Sundays and on Thursday nights. And lastly, he blames Air. Evms, the builder, as being himself the cause of the explosion at Gibraltar house, hav- ing cut the pipe off which he ought not, and not turning the gas off, which lie ought to have done. How far these charges are warraiite-I by facts or wheth'U' being true, they cannot be satisfactorily explained we arc not in a pisition to say. WIIITTIXGIOX. LADII:S' CJ.UB.—Tins highly popular meeting came off on Friday last, with unusual eclat. lu the morning the usual procession was Jormed, the ladies carrying clubsticks surmounted with nose- gays, uu l preceded by Air. Walter Hay's splendid baud. Tiie sermon was preached by the Rev. F. Masters, Rector nf Welsh Hampton, after which the members jiartook of tea at the Green. Danc- ing commenced at 5 o'cloek and was continued to a late hour. Upwards of 800 visitors were admit- ted nil the green during the evening. We noticed a greater sprinklin r "t ladies and gentlemen of the a -re?ttf-r s!)rinliliii c 4if .:ttlieq a:it. ',eitl em?-n of tlle LLAXSILIN. I DESTKCCTIVE EFFECTS OF LIGHTXIN-G. — IJuring the thunderstorm of Tuesday week, the lightning destrovo l tiv i trees, art o ik and an ash, both grow- ing on the farm of Air. Sides, of Golfn, near Llan- silin The trunk and branches of the oak were j shattered to pieces, so that they presented an ap- pearance similar t(i a batten of straw. One large bough was hurled to the distance of 100 yfkrds from the irbe. The ash tree was n-)t s.) much damaged, but it wis completely tora up by the root. Air. Sides, his son, and E Itvird Jones, groom, were in tiie iieidTit the timpani were within 5U yards of the trees when they were struck by the electric fluid." The old groom was s.) terrified at the sight, that he has scarcely recovered yet. They had in- tended to go under the oak for shelter, but fortu- nately wont under the heige instead, and were tiius saved from certain death. The fragments of the trees have been removed to Langedwin, by the orders of Captain Burlinson. If they had been left on the ground a little longer, they would have been carried away by those who visited the spot, each of whom seemed desirous of having Seine me- morial of this work of destruction. of this wo r l I of (?'estril(;tion. I'.URUIN- ENGLISH CHAPEL.—AVe understand that the connexion has made such arrangements that Ruthiu w,il be favoured for the next four months with several most eminent preachers in- cluding the Rev. Baptist Xoel. Coax HARVEST IM WALES.—There is every ap- pearance of an excellent crop of cereals throughout the Principality. The wheat looks remarkably well, the autumn-sown grain being in full car. Barley is promising and early, and there is every prospcet I of a harvest in this grain superior for many years ¡ past. Oats give promise of an early crop. ROYAL BRITISH BOWMEX.—The first meeting of the society will take place on Thursday, the 23rd instant, at Blodwell vicarage, near Oswestry, the seat of the Hcv, J. Parker. We understand the fair bowmaids and gallant bowmen are expecting to come pretty near the golden centre this year, as several private archery meetings hnve been held during the eai ly summer. One at Brvn-y-pys on Thursday week was numerously attended, and the ii young folks" enjoyed themselves gaily to the music of the band of tiie Royal Denbigh Militia. THE WELSH CH.ILRI ry.-rhe new schools of the Society of Ancient Britons, at Ashford, Aliddlesex, were opened on Tuesday by the Prince Consort, in the presence of many distinguished persons. The building is of the modern c Elizabethan style of architecture and is constructed in a most commodious manner, there being ample room for 130 boys and 70 girls, with the best arrangements for warming and ventilation. The cost, so far as the builder's contract is concerned, will amount to about 15,0001 —a sum almost covered bv the proceeds of the sale of the old building in Gray's-in-lane, which had been purchased by Air. Eley, cartridge manufac- turer, for 14,000/. The Prince Consort having been conducted through the building, met the as- sembled'company in the principal dormitory, where the necessary arrangements were made for the oc- casi. on and Lord Dynevor (the chairman of the C'0111,nl-; ttec ?, then delivered to his Royal Highness an address, thanking him for the honour he had conferred upon the Most Honourable and Loyal Society of Ancient Britons by his presence, and entering into a description of the origin and progress of the association. The Prince Consort delivered the following reply :—" It has given me great I l'waure to attend here ihis day to assist the openinlz'' of the new schools of the Most Honourable and Loyal Society of Ancient Britons, and I heard with much interest the account which you have given of their origin and progress to their present state of extended usefulness. It was very gratifying to the Prince of Wales to hear that it was your wish t hat a statue of him should be placed within this building and he certainly would have accompanied me this day had he not already left England for a foreign tour. I shall not fail to convey to the Queen the expressions of attachment to her person and throne contained in your address. No fresh as- surance can, however, be required to convince the Queen of the devoted loyalty of her Welsh subjects." At the conclusion of the ceremony, the company sat down to a dejeuner, prepared in the boys' school- room. THE PROPOSED DIVISION* or THE CIRCUITS.— A considerable amount of discussion has taken place among the members of the bar on the proposed an- nexation of the Yorkshire to the Alidland Circuit, which is understood to be recommended by the Commissioners appointed to consider the re-arrange- ment of the circuits So far as the members of the circuit attending the York assizes are concerned it appears to have met with the most unqualified disapproval. The reasons stated are the-io-the mem- bers of the circuit attending York assizes for the most part go round the circuit to all the Northern counties, and to compel them to elect to go the Mid- land and Northern Circuits is, in fact, to take the bar bodily away from the Northern counties. The counter proposition was understood to be to add Lancashire to the Ches.iire Circuit, the Northern Circuit being found by the judges to be too long and laborious. With regard to this proposition the general opinion seems to be that about one-half of the members of the circuit attend Liverpool assizes, and go no where else on the circuit, and to these gentlemen it can make no difference whether Lanca- shire belongs to the Cheshire and Welsh Circuit or to the Northern Circuit, for excepting to Liverpool they do not go to the Northern Circuit; and to the other half, with few exceptions, they are quite in- ( I ii fc,ri?nt ,tl)out different about Lancashire, as those who have busi- ness in Yorkshire and in the northern counties are not the men in business in Lancashire. To put the different views tersely, the proposed addition of Yorkshire to the Alidland Circuit will in all proba- bility materially injure 103 members of the circuit who have business in Yorkshire and the northern counties; while the counter project of adding Lancashire to the Welsh and Cheshire Circuits would not in all probability injure the business of 10 men on the circuit, and would in other respects be of public convenience, the great manufacturing districts of Lancashire and Cheshire being intimately interwoven. A third strong opinion is against all change of the circuit, and for sending down three judges instead of two to dispose of the increased business of the Northern circuit, two judges sitting on the criminal or civil side, as required by circum- stances. One thing is certain, that the proposed chaage gives unqualified dissatisfaction, and appears to be made quite irrespective of the interests and practice and state of business of the circuit. 11 POOL VICTORIA KOWI.IN I ■ GltEEX,-On Thursday, the 9th inst. the opening for the season of this delightful sport was celebrated by a sumptuous dinner at the Oak Hotel, presided over by II. Owen, Esq. Mayor. A few evenings since a lady visitor at Rhyl went to Rhuddlan, and in order to see as much as pos- sible of the ruins of the oltl castle, she ascended one of the walls. In descending, she fell and injured her collar-bone, and it is feared that her lungs are inj ured. REWARD or MERIT.—At the. half-yearly meet- ing of the floyal Humane Society, a honorary silver medal was awarded to Mr. John Timothy, i for saving the life of Catherine Jones, aged 60, at Menai Bridge, on the 28th of November last, by jumping from the warf to her rescue, when she had fallen into the water.

(late Lieut. 23rd Royal Welsh Fusileers), to be Lieut, vice Hesketh, resigned. ( This appointment is substituted for that which appeared in the Gazette pf the 7th inst.) CONWAY.—A serious accident occurred on the embankment here, one day at the latter end of last week. A party were riding on some Llandudno ponies, when they took fright at a steam engine, on the line of railway, and one gentleman being thrown off, had a leg very severely shattered. The youths who accompanied him escaped unhurt. I I mill I II III IWIflBWIH—

Sir,—Having observed in your paper an adver- tisement that the band would play in the yard of the depot every Thursday evening from 7 till 9, nine, I have the last four Thursdays sent my juven- iles up to hear it, but on every occasion have they returned disappointed, there was no band to be heard. What on earth can be the object of going to the expense of advertising this falsehood! Yours obediently, I A LOYEl OF MUSIC AXD OF TRUTH AS Wr.r.i.. Wrexham, Hth July, 18.57- j LLANGOLLEN EISTEDDFOD. To the Editor of the Denbiyhshire Advertiser. Sir,—A local Eisteddfod was held at Llangollen, on Iioiiday; the Gthinst, overmuch G. n. Whallev, Esq., presided, when prizes were awarded to suc- cessful competitors in poetry, essays, reading, and sinking. Separate adjudicators were appointed for each part—the llev. J, D. Edwards, of Riiosyiuedre, and Air. J. D. Jones, of Iluthin, being the judges of the singing. Three choirs competed for the prize of SIJ, viz., the choir belonging to the inde- pendent chapel, Llangollen, the choir belonging to the Wesleyan Alethodist chapel, and the Corwen choir, the latter consisting of the principal singers of all the churches and chapels in Corwen and its neighbourhood. Two pieces of music were fixed upon by the committee, one to be sung in the morn- ing, and the other in the evening. After the choirs had sung in the evening, the adjudicators retired for a few minutes when they returned with the follow- ing verdict—" The independent choir sung pretty well, but as they were rather weak and young they were behind the other choirs. The Corwen choir strng some parts well, but other parts quite the re- T' 1 1 verse (which were pointed out by Jir. j^uwarus.; The AVesleyan choir sung very well, kept good time, good bass, &c."—In the evening—"The Independ- ant choir were behind the others. (Air. Edwards ex- horted them to persevere as they were very promis- ing.) The Corwen choir and Wesleyan choir sung very -,vell, there being no difference at all between. them; therefore, the prize of ;Ci) was divided be- tween the two." Now, Sir, I out of many others in this neighbour- hood, wish to know of you, or some of your cor- respondents, why the prize was divided between the Corwen and Wesleyan choirs ? AVlien I reflect on the iudgment 1 don't see any reason why the prize should have been divided. According to the pro- gramme the prize was to be awarded to the success- ful choir in singing both pieces, the one in the morning as well as that of the evening. Now, as the Corwen choir made a "blunder" in the morning, and the Wesleyan did not, and as both were the same in the evening; how is it, then, in the face of justice that the prize was so apportioned ? By giv- ing insertion of the above in your next you will greatly oblige lours tnuy, rAIRPLAY. 1 Llangollen, July loth, 1857.

LIVERPOOL CATTLE MARKET.—MONDAY. The number of cattle at market, and likewise the sales effected, exceeded those of last week but our quotations remain unaltered for the description of stock. Sheep were not purchased so freely, and a clearance could not be effected. Beef, 6d to 7 d mutton, 6d to 7j. Number at market: beasts, 1,373; sheep, 12,136. LIVERPOOL COTLX MARKET.—TUESDAY. The arrivals of wheat and barley are good this week, but small flour, Indian corn, and other articles. The firmness of holders on the well-known shortness of stocks in the principal places has been sufficient to support prices in the face of splendid weather for the growing crops, and most markets report the business in wheat at a decline of from Is to 4s per qr. Excepting a favourable crop of wheat, however, it is a generally entertained notion that oats, the late sown barley, beans and peas may prove an unfavourable result, from the fact of dry scorching days and frosty nights in the early weeks of May. Prices hero have varied but little during the week. Indian corn alone has rallied from the late point of depression. The decline on wheat and flour quoted at Mark Lane yesterday scarcely af. fected us at market to-day, for having only a slender attendance of millers, the business was merely moderate at nominal prices. A reduction of Id to 2d per bushel on wheat was submitted to on occa- sional sales; it was not however general, as our granaricd stocks are in so narrow a compass that there was no sympathizing with the London de- pression. -NIARK LANE.- MARK LANE.—MOXDAV. ¡ The supply of wheat from Essex moderate; sales proceeded slowly, and could only be effected at a decline of 3s to is upon the prices of this day week a few offers made for very retail quantities of foreign at 3s below the rates of last Monday, but no actual sales reported. Barley steady at last week's terms. Beans and peas bring more money. Oats a slow sale inferior cheaper. Scarcely any demand for foreign flour, and the little business in American barrels was at a reduction of Is to 2s. MARK LANK-WEDNESDAY, Fresh up, to-day, only a limited supply of Eng- lish wheat reached us; but the stands were well filled with Monday's unsold samples. The atten- dance of millers was small, and the demands for all kinds of wheat of home produce ruled heavy at Monday's decline in the quotations. There was a fair average supply of foreign wheat in the market. Sales were wholly confined to retail parcels, at bar- ley stationary prices. Barley and malt were in fair request, at full quotations. Good sound oats moved off steadily, at full prices; but out of condition qualities were dull, Beans and peas were quite as dear as on Monday, Flour was very dull, and lower to purchaiie, HOP-MARKET —Boaouoii, MONDAY. j The reports are not so favourable to-day again, and duty at £ 12-5,000. ENGLISH WOOL MARKET.—MONDAY. Although the public sales of colonial wool will commence on Thursday next, our market has be- come rather firmer, and a fair average business is doing, at full prices. Several orders have come in from Belgium, and holders generally—arising from the firm accounts from the manufacturing districts, and the limited stock held by the leading houses- appear confident of realising enhanced rates. FOKEIGN.—In most of the Continental markets wool is steady, but transactions are limited. The approaching London wool sales tend to limit pur- chases. LEADENIIALL LEATHER MARKET. The supplies of Leather on sile this week liava been oniy moderate, and the trade generally has ruled inactive, at unaltered quo; alions.
