RIOT WITH THE DENBIGHSHIRE…
RIOT WITH THE DENBIGHSHIRE MILITIA AND A COMPANY OF LIVERPOOL ARTIL- I LERY VOLUNTEERS. Monday last is a day that will be long remembered by the inhabitants of Wrexham, particularly those who re- side in Penybryn, Hope-street, and Hope-road, where some of the most didfrruccful seijnca were enacted that ever took placo in lite annals of Wrexham. This baing the clay fixed for the assembling of the Militia, a large portion 6f tbe day was occupied in giving out the cloth- ing, during which time the men, as they were not as- sembled for drill, gave themselves to drinking, and drink- ing led to fighting, which was carried to such lengths that it was no uncommon sight to see four fights going on at the same time, in Hope-street. Several windows were broken and a number of tradesmen put up their shut- ters, and somo kept them up for the remainder of the day, a precaution which, as the subsequent events of the day will show, proved a very wise one. We fre informed that strong representations were made to the officers of the danger of allowing these riotous proceedings to go uneheeked, and that they made light of tbo mstter, and declined to interfere. On the other band, the police said th« men were under military IHW, and it W.is the duty of their own officers to see that proper discipline was en- forced. Thus the inhabitants had to look quietly on whilo those whom they paid to protect and defend them, were fat becoming their masters, and tor the time a fort of military despotism prevailed, and there appeared to be no local authority able or willing to subdue it. This state of thingB was further aggravated bv the -ARRIVAL OF k VOLLINTEh)t CQHrs FROM LIVERPOOL Iletween ten and eleven o'clo( k in the morning. This corps is formed of the workmen of the Wiiadjor Foundry, Liverpool, J. Hamilton, Junr., Esq., master, who is also their Captain, and iR called" Capt Hamilton's Windsor Foundry Seventh Company of Aitillerv," their employer having trcatHd them to an excur- .-ion f.n Whit-Monday. In patsing through the streets some little badinage took place between the Militiamen and the Volunteers, many of the former being drunk, and we tear it cannot be stated that the whole ot the latter were sober. The Liverpool corps, about sixty in number marched through the principal streets, headed by their band, and accompanied by their wives and sweethearts making, altogether a paity of about 150. It is said while passing through a part of the to\vn tliiildy po; tinted by the Irish, their fcaaii very in- liiscieeily struck up the tune tailed tlie B"yne Wbter." We heard some 11' the Volunteers aver that they played this tune in retaliation for the jibes and jukes that were paesed upon them, the Irish deny this and s-tate that the Volunteers were the aggressors and played the tune he. fore they received any insult. Which party speak the truth we cannot tell. nor do we tbirk itwcuid be possible to ascertain it. Certain it is that an amount of bad blued was created by this foolish act of the Volunteers, thad led to fcroila which continued throughout the day, an- led to a eeries of riots such as probably were never wit, ncs"d in Wrexham before. After parading the streets, the Volunteers proceeded to the B iwling Green Inn Penybryn, where arrangements hud been made with Mr" Owentwr them to dine on the Green. The next few hours were spent in dining, perambulating the streets in small groups, looking at the church, ascending the steeple, &c. During this time th; re were SUJJDllY EKCOUNTEK8 AND SKIEMISHES. The Irish portion of the Militia appeared bent upon resenting the paying of "the Boyne Water" (or as some of our townspeople forcibly pronounce it-" the Boiling Water") and the Volunteers showed a large amount of pugnacity. Badinage and "chaff'' became the older of the day. "Wlu ss your hiitterr" was a f-ivourite question «iih the Militiamen, alluding to the headpiece of tbe V duuteer Artillerymen, tile liittor itt- tortintc by asking the MiliUhinen— W hoe yeur tuilor ?" And these invidious inquiries about tbe relative rierits of their rcepettive hatte:s and ia^lors oftea led to biov.'d, whereby the haudy work of both better and tailor | sadly disligured. In the churchyard a Volunteer was overpowered and most shamefully abused by the Militia- men—in l'enybryn a Militiaman was shortly afterwards as shamefully abused by a numtief of Voluateers, and thus the ball passed round, one par'y apparently as much to blame as the other. The Volunteers uvidJntu con- sidered themselves vastly the suoeri?.rs of the Mi!?i&- men—the Miliiiamen ieit thtmaei vm to be better soldiers than the Volunteers, althotigh they called themsel yes: Artil!erymen. In this way a feeling of jealousy was en- gendered, and wad afterwards fed by the badinage whu.h passed 80 freely round whenever tbe daik blue met the daik green in tbe public thoroughfares. Angry feel- ings waxed stronger and stronger and the Irish gather- II ed round the Bowling Green in considerable numbers swearing vengeance against the Liverpool Volunteers. They at once fiercely attacked SÛfll tivo or t;li uc who were standing by the dour, and these few had tu fight the crowd for some minutes before those of the volunteers inside the iiouee knew woat was going on outside. Hear- ing the noise one came out and toen another, and Wheil about a dozen were out the mob were completely routed. After this the volunteeis were at onte mustered una were put in marching order for the station. Immediately after- wards a sharp set-to took place in the street, the volunteers using their belts, and driving the militiamen in all di- rections. The voluateers then fell in, and headed by their band, started FITOM THE BOWLING GREEN TO THE BAILWA STATIC!?. it was now approaching nine o'clock, tint late hour unfortunately having been fixed for the departure of the excursion train. By some arrangement, (como to, we presume, by the more sober and better disposed of both parties) a picket of militiamen marched before the vol- unteers to guard them to tho station, and in this order they marched down Penybryn, Bridge-street, up the Town Hill, and about half way up Hope-st.reot, wheu some militiamea in the rear of the voluatters made an attack I t- 1 upon them. The volunteerd turned to them. The picket joined their comrades in attacking thoso they were seat to protect, and a frightful melet. was the result. The volunteers again begun to uso thoir belts, and the militia tried tho virtues of paving atones, a largo number bcin" loose on the street, in consequence of a drain baviog been opened that day. The militiamen beat another re- treat, and women and children st-reamcd and fled down the street for tiioir lives, seeking refuge in entries, shops, and houses, or wherever they could put their heads into. These scenes were enacted several times, between tlie Buck Lion Inn and the railway station. Every time the volunteers made a move in the direction of the station the militia returned to the charge, followed a?ain by another retreat. Near the surgery of Dr. Davies the drum belonging to the volunteers was burst, and the ju- venile portion of the band took refuge in some of the adjoining houses whence they were escorted over the fields by some good Samaritans to the railway station. The adults then fought their way up the Hope-road' when there followed a most VIOLENT CONFLICT AT THE EAIT.1VAV RTITMH The volunteers took the lower road to the station-the militia made for the bridge, where they had the advan- tage of the higher ground. Both parties had a tolerable op y of amunition in the shape of atones, and several en employed themselves in carrrins fresh sunnliaa ? recess by the Infirmary.

Mr. Williams was mainly instrumental in inducing the excursionists to choose Wrexham as the sceue of their day's pleasure, and he rendered all the assistance that one.man could to soothe them during some of the earlier fights. We ought also to state that the police did interfere several times during the day and stopped several fights, but it would have taken a much larger force than we had in the town that day to have kept anything like order.

 THE FLINTSHIRE ELPCTJ ;..…
 THE FLINTSHIRE ELPCTJ ?n__ — -i:uE eiectors of Flintshire will be called upon on Tuesday to perform a most important duty. By the death of the Hon. T. M. LI. Mostyn* a \ac?mcy has been created in the representation, and two candidates are now soliciting the suf- frages of the voters,—Lord Richard Grosvenor and Mr Hughes, of Kinmel. We stated our views last week as to the relative merits of the two candidates, and the electioneering doings of the past week have only teuded to increase our attachment to the scion of the house of West- minster and to further alienate us from the Kinmel squire. Lord Richard Grosvenor has during the past week faced the electors in almost every town and village in the county, and laid his views before them in the most manly, frank, and open manner. He conceals nothing—even when he differs with the majority of those before whom he stands expounding his views, he can- didly avows it, and does not attempt any of the usual electioneering deception. Like many more of his order he still indulges in the fond but delusive hope that the question of Church Tates can be compromised. He knows that total and immediate repeal is what the bulk of the Flintshire constituenc y go for, but, he neither shrinks nor mystifies the matter. Let us make one more attempt at a compromise he says, and then, should that fail, I will vote for the total abolition of Church rates. The Flintshire electors can afford to wait. The next attempt to patch up this question must fail, as all former attempts have done, after that the vote of Lord Richard Grosvenor will be given in favour of total abolition. His opponent shirks this important question altogether. He knows th e Flintshire constitu- ency comprises a large majority of Dissenters, and be thinks discretion is the better part of valour. Hut Mr Hughes's views on Church rates happen to he too well known, and certain acts connected therewith of too recent date, not to rise up in judgment against him at the present j' moment. He has lately claimed and exercised control over his tenant's consciences as well as over their farms. In certain parishes where lie deems himself monarch of all he surveys," he has requested, and in some instances compelled his tenants to vote for, church rates. His pre- sent silence, therefore, on this leading question of the day will avail him nothing. Deeds speak louder than words, and this last act and deed of 1\1£ Hughes's will take all the intellectual skill he can command to defend or to explain away. In conjunction with this act of tyranny we commend the attention of our readers to the I story told by Mr Jones at the Mold meeting-, of the dismissal of the schoolmistress, not for any incompetency or dereliction of duty, but because she attended chapel. Such acts as these might: have been overlooked fifty or a hundred years ago, but they will not pass in these days of I "civil and religious liberty." Mr Hughes has also shown himself to be an enemy to the local interests of the constituency. He stands before it as an opponent of rail- ways-as the opponent of the Mold and Den- bigh Railway. He might as well try to step before a locomotive engine as to try to arrest the progress of railways, but the fact of having made such a paltry pigmy attempt shows that I he is scarcely intelligent enough for a member t of Parliament. We want men in Parliament who will endeavour to foster and not impede the development of the railway system, which has done so much to increase the wealth of the nation. A railway may occasionally spoil the corner of a park, but at the same time it is the making of a locality. We can hardly be sur- ■1, in the face of these facts, that Mr Hughes t appeared before the constituency. He I thinks it will be quite time enough 'ay to be catechised on some of these I i no mistake as to Mr Hughes being a no a?y Tory—a rene" ghe. heing a g?tuta ?s worthy un'(' from the ?, i. no is Derbyite, e dord Diuor- ?here ?s no rnt humbug co i ne d by this rough go?& m' humhu; n embodie, ncip?s of ?? cheap e comed by ,hi. n.

NUISANCES. Instructions were -;ven for the tal-ing of the necessary steps for the abatement of nuisances in Shocklach Church and Scaswick. Mr. Davies said he had visited the nuisance complained of at Rhosnessney as requested by the cbsirmin, in company with Mr. Parry in whose township it was, and Mr. Pany would state the result. Mr. Parry then stated that the nuisance had been abated and that there was nothing offensive on the premises now. The chairman requested Mr. Parry to keep his eye on the premises jest it should return. AN -APPEAL Tu THE AUDITOR. The Clerk sriid the Auditor had concluded his audit, at which Mr. Pojsur had attended for the purpose of ob- jecting to a charge made for a pauper to Gwersyllt. The Auditor entered into the mfttterwith grcdt reluctance, but. he made an order that she should be transferred from Gwersyllt to Wrexham Abbot. The Chairman said he did not see what power the Au- ditor had to change the chiirgeability of a person when it was legally made, he therefore recommended that the Poor Law Board should be written to on the subject. I'je Clciktaid there were two courses open to a per- son when they thought a pauper was ilb-pally charged. Ono was to ask for a case for the Poor Law Board— the other was to appear before the auditor and object i-j it. Mr. Poyser preferred the latter. Mr. Poysur said he did not prefer it-but he never could get a cise for the Poor Law Board. Number in the houau 161-7 more than last week.— I Vagrants ;101; -i

PHOENIX AMATEULI DRAMATIC CLUB. I On Thursday evening lsst the members of this club I gave a performance in the Music Hall, Wrexham, and their first aopeaianca before the public ia pronounced by all present to have been a most decided success. The arrangements weie complete, everything bearing evi- dence of taste anu good judgment, thanks to the super- inteudcnco of Dr. Dixon. The scenery was ureatly ad- mired, and in Jac: no one however much inclined to criticise could have found anything wrong. The admis- sion was by tickets, which were liberally distributed, so that by li:ili-pa-.t seven the 11*11 was filled, asd many had to stand i.nrogliout tho performance. The music was uuder the oirectiun of Mr. C. A. Stephenson, and could not have been in better bands. At half-past seven, Captiin Roper appeared before the curtain to recite the prologue, previously stating that as it had only arrived that morning he fetred lie should not be able to do it justice. The prologue, written fir the occasion by H J Byron Esq., was tueu read and met witn loud approba- tiou. The first piece on the programme was 4' A most un- warrzintable ictrJsiuu," in which we feel bound to com- mend the admir.iv/le acting of Captain M'Coy, as Mr. Nathaniel Snoozle. In the Intruder, the audience was introduced to Mr. Dejne, a gentlemau wLo-o taieat as an amateur actur we eaur.ot praise too highly. iNext toilowea the great feature of the pcrfonnaneu- the Burlesque cf Biue iienrdj from tae pen of the eminent dramatic uuthur H. j. ijyrvu, Lcq, The cosiuaie 01 the cturacters was oriental and ^rgeous in the extreme, es- pecially that ot Abumeiiqiic, (Blue Beard.)

In the second act (attar a supposed lapse of six weeks) Sister Anne plays her little game, and she and Ab)melique come to a frightful kotik-eolltttton, Abomelique goes frorr. home leaving" i'atima" his keys with a warning as to the Biue Room. The second scene is a wild Turkish Landscape, where we find Abdalla (Captain Roper) and Sadi (Dacre Roper, Esq.,) two heavy young officers who after a short couia'o express a desire for a soldiers' bier and retire. Selici again presents himself in this scene in woeful despair at the loss of Fatima. Encouraging advice of his companions Abdalla and Sadi who tell him I as he is an officer to be also a pheel-ossifer. They ulti- mately suggest an onslaught on Abomelique'a castle and iswear revenge. The third, the fiital scene follows— Sister Anne and Fatima in th- I corridor leading to the Blue Chamber. Faatima determines ou entering the room, and Sister Anne exerts j hurpersuasive power. Horror of Fatima on behold- ing the nineteen previous wives of Abomelique-^ nineteen numbers of The Woman in IVlute," Siiaca- bae, Beda, and Sister Anne condole with Fii- tima. Abomelique returns elevated-then the dis- covery of the key and doom of Fatima to whom Abomelique exhibits his high mettled racer (razor)- lucky arrival of Selim, Abdalla and Sadi — Abomelique" floored in more ways than one —every- body forgives everybody else, and the scene closes. The above is a faint outline of this most amusing bur- lesque, and the acting of it by the Phoenix Dramatic Club must have satisfied even the most fastidious. After the Burlesque God save the Queen" was sung, the audience joining in the chorus. The performance concluded with the Farce of 11 Slash- er and Crasher" which elicited roars of laughter from the audience and formed a fitting conclusion of the evening's entertainment. We understand that an invitation performance was given last evening in tho presence of a large number of the friends of the performers, the programme being the same ae that of Thursday evening.

FLINTSHIRE ELECTION. I
FLINTSHIRE ELECTION. I MEETING OF LOPD RICHARD GROSVENOR'S I SUPPORTERS IN MOLD. A meeting of Lord Robert Grosvenor,- supporters was held in the large room of the Market Hall, at Mold, on Wednesday list; Falkner Lloyd, E-q., ia the chair. The room was well filled, a large number of eleetors being present. « The chairman 'in opening the proceedings said We are met for the purpose of endeavouring to return a liberal representative to Parliament to fill up tbe vaf^n- cy caused by the death of my lamented relative. This county is without doubt a liberal one. I ilyself have been enpag'ed in electioneer ins; mafters in this county for the last thirty yeaTs, and I believe I know the county as well as any other man, and I have no hesita- tion in saying that a liberal will be returned this time (cheeri). 1 stated this opinion to ysu on a former occa- j sion, and you did return a liberal then. The party to which Mr. Hughes belongs do not know the opinions of the people. I most cordially approve of Lord Richard Grosvener's address, and I disapprove of Mr. Hughes's in ioto, and I feel eonfident that his lordship will make a very pood member. He will explain his views to yon, and after you hear them I have no doubt that you will agree with me that tho present attempt of our opponents w .ill be as futile as others have been befora them (cheers). After a few more words the chairman called upon Lord Richard Grosvenor to explain his" views to the meeting. 4 Lord Richard Grosvenor then fame forward and said: Gentlemen, I beg to thank you very cordially for the kind reception you have given me this dav; I also thank Mr. Falkner Lloyd ftir the kind words he has spoken concerning me. In the most open and hearty manner ho says he is sure that you will return me. Of course I hope that his prediction may prove a trne one (cheers). I appear before you as a supporter of that party, which is called the liberal party. That party, I believe, have always introduced and supported such measures as have a tendency to promote the best interests of the country, to increase the commercial prosperity of the country, and the advancement of reform in every way. The course of leslatioll pursued by this party has added greatly to the wealth of this country, as well as contributed to the moral and physical improvement of the people. One of the acts passed by this party after the passing of the Reform Bill was One in fssvour of freedom. I mean the repeal of the Test A.:t, by means of which members can take their seat without, and distinctive other acts have been either passed, introduced, or chiefly Supported bv the liberal party. leaving members of Parliament co- tirely free, there being now no qualification of any kind required from them. I can lay no claim to any personal experience as a member of Parliament, nor do I think tny opponent can either. (Cheers and laughter). I see I «m charged with want of eiperience, but I may fairly retort by aseerting that my Parliamentary ex- periencc is quite equal to that of Mr. IIugbci", (renewed laughter.) Another charge brought against me is (hat I am not i. Welshman, the inference being that my oppo- nent is. This I kuow, that Mr. Hughes wsti horn in Cheshire, I don't know whether that constitutes a man a Welshman or not. (Laughter and cheers). I ov.s bHn a .little further south myself which will perhaps not make, a great difference. Now I will state my own views. First of all with regard to the expenditure of the country. The sums voted for the army and navy I am ready to admit are exorbitantly high. But we must remember that England has so many interests to protect in different parts of the world that it is quite necessary to keep those branches of the public service ia an efficient state. I should be ilad to see a reduction in this portion of tbo expenditure, but when we look at we. at is taking ptsf-n in different parts of Europe, and the large army that is kept up on the other side (of the chan- nel, with not much work to do, I don't think it would be quite safe to effect any reduction at the present moment. I craly hope that as the commercial ties between the two increase, a better feeling may be cultivated, between the two cuuntric", wiiiili m,;iy lead to a redaction of the army on the other side of tho channel, v iion I should be glad to see a move in the same direction in this country, which, under those circumstances I would most willing- if support. (Cheer.) We have often been called a nation of shopkeepers, and we hrive lately shown that we are able to iceep intiuders out of the shop. I allude to the Volunteer movement. That institution (for institu- tion we may c.il; it cow), has sprung up like a flash of lightning since I have been away irorn this country. There was no such thing when I left this country, but when I came back I found civilians Crossed in uniform in all directions, and I think this movement has dune much to keep up our idlucDce. 1t showa that we can ji?ht if we ara put to it. The next question 1 shall al- lude to is that cf church-rate?. I am ia hope that a measure will be cairied thM session that will be satis- factory to all parti, and 1 ah wistl to lay my views very ckarJy bdùre you on this puint. I beUeve there has been a Bill prepare!, which has betn seen by Sir ,h!1 Trelawnt-y, and with which he is said to be satis- j lied. I should like to waic to see if anything cuu be made of this bill before pronouncing in favour of total abolition. At the same time I am qHje persuaded that the whole thing must be settled, and settled soon j (Cheers.) Dissenters must be relieved. (Renewed j cheers.) I still hope to see a satisfactory rompfomie, I but if that is not accomplished immedirttol;, I shall vow for total abolition. (Loud cheers.). But it is only fair to tell you what course I intend to pusue on tho third reading of the Bill for the total abolition of church-rates, should I be elected. The third reading is fixed for the 5th of June, and should I have the hqnour to be a mem- ber of the House of Commons at that time I shall re- frain from voting at all. This will give a little longer time to attem it to bring about the compromise, I have adverted to, but if this should not be the case. I shall then, as I told you before, go for total abolition. (Loud cheers). With regard to the great question of reform the government I propose to support will no doubt give their best attention to this subject as they have always done hitherto. I shllll be happy to support a measure in favour of the extension of the franchise, but I am op- posed to the 4ballot. I don't think it would be a satisfactory remedy for the protection of the voters or for the prevention of bribery. I have seen the working of it in America, and it is not satisfactory there. There are doubtless many evils in our electoral system which can for a remedy, but I find they exist alio in America, where they have the ballot. In conclusion I beg to state that while I shall give the present government my general support, I shall be happy to support any measure that is for the benefit of the country come from what Koverament it may. Every measure in favour of the great principle of civil and religious liberty will meet with my hearty support (Loud cheers.) Mr. Salisbury (formerly M.P. for Cheater) then ad- dressed the meeting at great length in support of Lord Richard Grosvenor. He differed with the noble lord in many points. He differed with him in regard to the ballot. for he (Mr. Salisbury) believed that it would be a remedy for many ills that not only flesh, but spirit also is heir to. (Cheers). He differed with him also on the question of church-rates, he was for no compromise (loud cheers.) That being the case, it might be asked how he could support the claims of the noble lord. His answer was that he knew something of his stock and breed. On all qnestions of civil and religious liberty he had always found the house of Eaton in favour of the people, but he found they would not be able to say the same of his opponent who had deserted the cause so long supported by hia uucla. A better reformer than the late Lord Dinorbea never lived. His views and feelings were in common with those of the people. How came it then that Mr. Hughes had left that cause. Very likely he (Mr. Hughes) would tell them the reason on Saturday when he appeared before them at Flint. The great ques- tion is,-will you return a gentleman who promises to support a liberal government, or will you send a gentle- man who is pledged to opdoee that government. Thirty years ago Lora John ltusqell introduced that great -Tnea-ure (great it appeared then) which proved the p ioneer of every measure of progress that has passed ice. It was the liberal party who were the authors of f ry measure of a popular tendency that had passed from that time until now. That was tho party the noble lord ik -as goin to support, and that county could not do better than return him. It was very important at the presen t moment that they should strengthen the hands of tue ? overnment, and by returning Lord Richard of tlle? h they would be doing so. He had had two Groaveuc,v himself, which he would yean pa' 'i?. 2"t?'ry experieal-e himsel4 which he w 'ould venture to n? (-I Ict Mr Hug,hcs nevr would hae (L.ugh- t6!?

Thomas Jones (Glan Aim) was next cdled upon. lie contrasted the cki-xs of t?? t?o c.adtda!:?. Mr iiu-hfi, he Observed, laid elaua to more cxporiance tiian L »ra Richard Grosvenor, but the fact was that his lord- ship had seen very much more of the world than Mr. llughts had or ever would do, (laughter) and be had shown by what he had published of h, ttavM^ tbt }:c had an observant eye—that he .i.ok'il at, nr.1 a, H.W and liitouod to wuat be beard, and atterw&rda turned his knowledge to account. He (the speaker) had been looking for Mr Hughes to show himself at a meeting like that, but he had not addressed a public meeting yet, and that was a feature he did not like in him. Attempts were being made on behalf of Mr. Hughes, to coerce the poor colliers. This attempt has teen made in more than one colliery through the agents, but he must say that the colliers were more independent than the farm- erg. He had met with one who had been tried in this way. and he said he could get work anywhere, but if he could get no work at all he would not give a vote to Mr. Hiighes. Another objection he had to Mr. Hughes was he opposed the Mold nnd Denbigh Railway, and his op. position was of a very sordid shabby character. We all knew that railways open up and develope the re- sources of a district. and the man who opposed them I would hardly be considered as a fit and proper person to represent tbssi in Parliament. He had asked the Rflil- way Company a raopt exorbitant price for his land. and the man that would do that, he thought was very likely to Taize the rents of bis tenants. On the other hand the Marquis of WeFtroinster was noted for being a good and liberal landlord, his name was quite a spell amongst the farmers. Thm with regard to the quesrion of Church rates Lord Richard Grosvenor had promised for the total abolition if the next attempt at a compro- mise failed. That was more than Mr Hughes would pro- mise them, in fact Mr Hughes had compelled his ten- antry to vote for Church rates in their different parishes. That was a matter of some moment to Dissenters who were so numerous in Flintshire. All they asked for as Dissenters was equal rights with others-not any favour nor toleration-that was a word that grated upon the ear. But Mr Hughes had carried matters further than com- pelling his tenantry to vote for Church rates. There was on the estate a school where a schoolmistress had been for a long time and always given satisfaction in the discharge of her duties. But when Mr Hughes came into possession it was discovered that the school- mistress attended a Methodist chapel, in consequence of which she was discharged. He had this story in Liver- pool, nnd he had taken some trouble to enquire into the truth of it, and the only qualification he heard of it was that Mrs Hughes and not Mr Hughes turned her away. But he need not tell them that there wai a very near rela- tionship (laught-r). If the better half would do such a thing as that, what would the worser half do (laughter and cheers). Mr Jones concluded by expressing his approval of Lord Richard Grosvenor as a candidate, and urging the electors to exert themselves in his favour. The meeting concluded with three cheers for his lord- ship, and three' for the Chairman. MEETING AT CAERGWRLE. I I Lord Richard Grosvenor met tis committee and ad- dressed the electors of Flintshire at Caergwrlc, on Wed- nesday evening. R. C. Rawlins, Esq., was unanimously voted to the chair, and spoke for some time, urging the claims of the noble lord as a Liberal to a liberal constitu- ency which had always hitherto—and he had no hesitation in 'saying always would, return a Liberal member to Parliament. The house of Eaton had always been friends and supporters of civil and religious liberty, and the noble Marquis of Westminst er bad been one of the first to subscribe £ 500 to the Anti-Corn Law League. The taxation of the country was enormously high, and it was time something should be done in order to reduce it, to this subject the noble lord had promised to give his very earnest attention. Lord Richard Grosvenor then addressed the meeting, his spcech being HubstintiaJly the same as at Mold. The meeting was also afterwards addressed by Earl Grosvenor, Mr Salisbury, Mr Faulkner Lloyd and Mr J. R. Rawlins. A resolution was passed approving of Lord Richard Grosvenor as a candidute, and the meeting ended with three cheera for the noble lord and three for the Chairman. MEETING AT OVERTON. ) This village was all alive on Thursday, it having been announced that Lord Richard Grosvenor would attend to address the electors. About half-past four o'clock his lordship arrived, and shortly afterwards a meeting was convened in the Assembly Room cf the White Horse. The meeting wa, nntt erously and respectably attended. J. Waters, 'Esq., having bctn voted to the chair, said he felt great pleasure in presiding over a meeting which was to give a hearing to a son cf one of our most illus- tious nollemen, who was a candidatefer tbe represe. t.,tit)n i of this cculJty in Parliament (cheeis). lie legrettad that owing to its being m rket day in Wrexham, the meeting was not quite so large as probably they expected it would have Len; but he hoped that on Tuesday nnit they w(.dd mU50!er strong, and come s'rong to the scratch (laughter and chters). He had great pleasure in introducing ta them Lord Riohard Grisvetioi--tlle Marquis of Wistmijister'a second son (laud cheers). Li. F. Lloyd, Esq., wished to say a few w rj before Lord Grorive,lor a^one. He then reverted t* the former elections, and the parties brought forward to vepresejS tna conservative interest. He virwed the present con- test as if it were carried on by Lord Derby on the one hai-d and Lord P.ilno«-r&ton on the otlier, and concluded by them to bring to the poll oil Tuesday as many ai they c. ul!, a vote should not be lost (cheers). Lord Grosvenor on rising wtis grt'eted by loud and oont'.uucd checrs, but hia sentiments and views on the great political qu- tions of the <!ay arc reported at full length in another column, and aie aubstauially the same as those expressed st Overton. The Chairman wished to know if any one had any ques- tions to a3H his lardsnip, or any remarks to make, they would gladly heir the:ii. Mr W. Thomas of Wrexham, rose to move tho follow- ing resolution— That this meeting having heard the political sentiments of the Honourable Lord Richard Grosvenor, is of opinion that he is a fit a,il proper per' sun to represent the county of Fliut in the House of Commons, and pledges itself to uae ita most strenuous ex- ertions to secure iiis return." This rasolution was supported by Mr. Thomas in a speech of great p">wer. He said the present election was one of principle, and tho principle Mr Hughes came forward upon was o:ie that wotiid conserve to tlq aris- tocracy ot this countr y the a., le POwQa: of o b the power of pacing and repassing: just what would tend to enhance their own inter-sis. Taeir could not be a greater insult to a fre3 people than such a proceeding, and he (Mr. Thonaus) thought every support should bo rendered to those who are coming forward to withstand the efforts of the couservativtw from cushing and frus- trating the liberty of the middle and lower classes. He then went through Mr. Hughes's address, dwelling upon the tea and paper duties, and administered to Mr. Hughes a sharp retort, for while he (Mr. Hughes) blamed Mr. Gladstone for not repealing the tea. duty, and expressing doubts as to the surplus money the Chancellor stated he had in hand, yet he is going to increase the taxation of the country, by lending his support to increaao the army and navy. (Cheers). Mr. Warters seconded the resolution, which was car- ried by acclamation. After further remarks from Mr. Lloyd, Lord Richard Grosvenor then moved a vste of thanks to the chairman, for the pleasant way in w^ich he had presided over the meeting. The meeting was about separating when Mr. Lloyd said that there was a statement current which he wished to be distinctly contradicted. Mr. Hughes's >ajty are saying that the interests of the Mostyn family are with Mr. Hughes. It was a fact that the Conaervat ivea ap- plied to the late Mr. Mostyn's trustees that their- tenants should be coerced to vote for Mr. Hughos. This request Was made on the day of the funeral of the late member, and was most flatly refused. Lady Augusta Mostyu (widovy of the late air. Mostyn) was herself a trustee, and viewed the request as a personal insult. ELLESMERE. I NORTH SHROPSHIRE YKOMANKY CAVALRY.—On Sat- urday last Colonel the Viscount Hill, Lord-Lieutenant of the county, gave a dejeuner Ir fourchette, at Coiemere Mere, to a very distinguished partf, the whole of the viands having been conveyed from Hawkstoue. T J6 com- pany included the officers of the reiriinfint, the Yiscoun- tess Hill and Selina Hill; Mrs. Wright and party, of HlIlaton; Mr. Ralph Ormsby Gare, M.P.; Mrs Gore and Miss Gara Sir J. R. Kycaston, Birt., &a., &o. The baad of the regiment was in attendance, and played in the most masterly manner many exquisite selections of music. On Sunday the regiment attended divine service in the parish church, and also the Rifle Corps, which, with I he addition of an otherwise large congregation com detely filled the sacred edifice. The vicar,, the Rev. D Day, preached on the occasion. On Wedn 03 Jay last this regiment was reviewed by Mijor-General Laurence- son, who expressed himself highly satisfied wuli the per- formance of the different movements. 'rbe gr ound was exceedingly well kept by a detachment of the Ellesmere Ride Volunteer Compiny at the request of the Colooel- Commandant of the regiment, and who afterwards ex- pressed bis thanks to the corps fur having preserved su^h excellent order. A great number of spectators were I present. 'We believe the regiment never looked better, with some trifling exceptions, than it did this year; and the baud, uuuer Mr Alatler's superior conduct, was never more effective, or gave mora general satisfaction.

ROBBERY.—John Owens and John White were brought up again this day by governor Pritchard, to answer a serious charge of highway robbery, with violence. com- mitted on one John Hugbe. Mr. Roper prosecuted and Mr Buekton appeared for prisoners. Hughes stated that he is a cooper, at Hawarden, that on Sunday morning, the 28th of A pril last, at one o'clock, he was going home from Mold, an d when near Davison's bride work's the two prisoners caught hold of him, they scuffled, and both the prisoners asked him for half a palloil of ale. the prisoner Owens caught hold of him first. They got him against the h< dge. Owens got his slick out of hIS band but he got it back again. They both held him fast and Owen said If you don't give us half a gallon of ale we will cut vom- throat," at the same time putting som thing in his month which cut his lips. The witness told them he would not give them aiiyale, thentletruggle ensued when. Hughes got away and ran, but the prison- ers overtook him, knocked him down and took his stick and hst. T:3ey both kicked and abused him. White got him down. One of the prisoners then beat him with his own stick till he was perfectly helpless. They th,-u rifled his pockets and tore all his clothes off his back. His watch pocket, in which he had five or six shillings, was forcibly torn off. They took his scarf, by, pocket-book, and small bag,, prnducfid, but the last mentioned articles they returned. They left him lying in the middle of the road, that afterwards he managed to get home, and has ever since been under medical treatment and unable to work. On beinj; cross-examined by Mr Buekton, Hughes Sf afed that ho tad four glasses of ale that day at the King's Head, I-dold. He had also two glasses of ale at Pentre 'r Cythi-aul, with a mole catcher, who paid for them, and bad t mother for which he bid not pay. Dr. Moffat was called in to see the prosecutor on Monday afternoon, the 2 Hh of April last. He found that he had six bruises over the bhoulders apparently made with a stick. On the rijfht hip and the right side the injury was very great. The blows appeared to have been caused by repeated applications of a stick, or kkking might have caused it There were also slight injuries on the head, but not of contieqnencc. There were one or two blows on the left side there was also an incised wound on the <I. I I Tight shin, this might also have been caused by a stica V or a kick—any blunt instrument would have caused it. The prosecutor moved with much I ain, and he had some difficulty in cxemining him. He was unable to leave his bed for some days. He is still labuurir- under the effects of his injuries. The large bruise on the rigbt hip might have been caused by falling. He has not received any permanent injury. The wife ot the prosecutor proved the identity of the scarf, and I'.C. Hugheil, s:a tinned at Ilawarder., gave evidence ss to statements made and to having seen the prisoners on the night iu question together. Both prisoners were committed to take their trial at the next assizes for the count v.

ELLESMERE BOARD OF GUARDIANS.__I
ELLESMERE BOARD OF GUARDIANS. I To the JZJilor of the Denbighshire Advertiser. I Sir, -Can you inform me by what law or custom it is that Guardians are re-elected without appealing to their parishioners. I have been a ratepayer in this parish for more' than twenty years, and have never known the Guardians to retain their teats without re-election be- fore this year. It is very trne the public have been deeply engaged in railway matters, having been fighting a battle aeainst the power that would deprive them ot those privileges which are so necessary for the develop- ment of the resources of the neighhourhood and give an impetus to trade. It looks very l'ke as if some of the Guardians being conscious of defeat had got this plan being carried out, and thus secured themselves from the annoyance of knowing the eotimate in which they are held by the public for the servicet3 they had performed during the past year.

The- animal was in the habit, whenever the flrj-heil at the; station rang, to make ready to stilt, and would run, in front of the engine to clear the wuy. When he got too a fire, he would run up ladders, force his way through windows, and enter jeopardised rooms, muie quickly than the firemen would. Some time ago, at the tiu-e of the explosion in the Westminster Roa", B >B darted into- the burning house, and was seen to leove with It cnt in his mouth. At another fire in Lambeth, D"b attended as usual, and th firemen were told that ,i the inmates had been saved, but the animal went to A FIDE do r and barked loudly, which attracted the notice ot TRIE HI igade, who felt convinced that some one was in the P ISSAGE, and npon the opening of the door the child was louiui in the passage nearly suffocated.
