I told him I did not want anything of the kind. He pressed me to buy them. He said the don- key Was five years old and that he reared it. He brought the cart to my yard for me to see. I then observed the name of John Richards on the cart and asked the prisoner if he was John Richards, to which he replied "Yes." After consulting with my wife I bought the donkey, cart, and harness, for £ 1 lis. In about aa hour afcer I had bought them a person from Baia came to my house and addressed the prisoner as "Owen." I then asked the prisoner why he had said that he was John Richards. Prisoner said John llichards was his cousin, hut that his name was Owen, that he had purchased the cart from his cousin, who left his came on it, and that he had bought it from his coubin about two years ago. I then took possession of the donkey, cart, and harness. I paid prisoner oae sovereign and one shilling in cash, and the rest he allowed for what he had himself and in treating others in the house.

Lloyd) reported as follows :—Gentlemen,—Since the last meeting I have visited several of the piaces in the district, but found reported as follows :—Gentlemen,—Since the last meeting I have visited several of the piaces in the district, but found nothing of a very serious character, if I except one case at Paady Cleriau, where there is overcrowding to a consider- able degree. The superficial area of the bedroom is only nillE-ty-iouf square feet, and the floor is almost covered with the three beds that are in the room. The height of the room is eight feet, and th6 space in cu'.ic feet for each of the six inmates is only 125, This house is also exceedingly smoky and it is not supplied with proper means of ventilation, so that it is altogether a very unfit place for human beings to live in. The improvements at Aberhosan are still progres- sing, and at Cemmaes, on Sir Watkirr's and Mr H. Morgan's properties, operations have been commenced. There are many improvements required on the drainage at Machyn- lleth, which, however, I intend not to enter into until I have completed my survey and made a survey of the town. Having done that I shall be more able to explain what is deficient, and what would be the remedy. I beg to can your attention to the dwelling-house of the National School-room in this town, where there is an exceedirgly damp wall in one of the apartments in which people live. The dampness is caused by the wall being built against the ground.—I am, &e., JAMES LLOYD."—The medical officer was directed to inspect the case of overcrowding at Pandy, and the meeting terminated.

Education of Pauper Children.-The Clerk having been instructed at the last Board meeting to communicate with the Local Government Board respecting the education of pauper children, the following answer was received :— Sir -I am directed by the Local Government Board to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 29th ultimo, on the subject of the elementary education of pauper children, the Board direct me to state that the following plan, which appears to them to be very well calculated to give cffet to the provisions of the Elementary Education Act, 1873, with respect to the payment of the school fees, has been adopted by a Board of Guardians, and the Board recommend it to the consideration of the Guardians of the Machynlleth Union. The relieving officer of each district is supplied with tickets containing spaces for the insertion of the name of the child, the school selected for it, and the number of attendances. The names of the child and school are filled in by the relieving-ofticer, and the num- ber of attendances by the schoolmaster and certified by his signature. Each recipient of relief who has a child is supplied weekly with a ticket for the child filled up by the relieving officer (a3 before stated), and the ticket issued by the relieving officer in the oae week, is returned to him signed by the schoolmaster in the following week, when, if necessary, a fresh ticket is given to the pauper in exchange for it. The relieving officer keeos an account of the number of attendances, and certi- fies to the correctness of the school bill when presented for payment at the end of each quarter or half year, as the case may be,and'the amount is then paid by the Guardians direct to the schoolmaster. It must, however,be distinctly under- stood that the school for the child is to be selected by the parent and not by the Board of Guardians or the relieving officer. The Board direct me to add that the Guardians have no legal authority to pay for the education of non- pauper children.—I am, &c., DANBY P. FRY."—The guardians disapproved of the weekly tickets as it would give unnecessary trouble to the officers, and adopted the form submitted to them by the clerk, which contained spaces for twentv-seven weeks or half-a-year.—A question then arose as to whether tha guardians must insist on the pauper children attending certified schools recognized as such by the Education Department, or could they allow the child t) attend any school where elementary instruction was given in reading, writing, or arithmetic.—The Clerk called the Board's attention to a paragraph in the Local Govern- mcvt Chronide stating that the questions were left open to doubt by the statute. At the present time the Local Government Board expressed no opinion upon them as they were in communication with the Education Department upon the subject. The Hij'hvsay Act.—A copy of the order of the Mont- gomeryshire Quarter Sessions, respecting the division of the county into highway districts, was read by the Clerk. The Alteration of the Workhouse.—Mr David Davies, Pennal, attended the Board, and produced plans for a new kitchen for cooking purposes, which were adopted.

Mr EVANS called the attention of the Board to a Welsh letter which appeared in the Cambrian News of Jan. 23rd, which was read and discussed, and the following resolu- tion with regard to it was unanimously passed That this Board, having had their attention drawn to a mali- cious attack made by an anonymous Welsh writer in the Cambrian News of Januany 23rd, on the teachers employed in the various schools of the School Board district, do hereby, in justice towards the teachers, bear testimony to the complete satisfaction given by them in the performance of their duties, by no means, as implied in the paper, spend- ing too much time in the cultivation of the musical capacities of the scholars to the disregard of other sub- jects, seeing that at least twelve songs are required by the Education Department to be learnt every year and with reference to a further insinuation mu le "in the 'same contribution that two of the present members of the Board are neglectful of their duties towards the Board, they hereby declare that such implication is altogether unfounded, and they condemn the conduct of the proprie- tors in lending tho authority ot their paper to further the designs of a slanderous correspondent rather than (seeing they could not ba themselves witnesses to the truth of the allegations)cause it to appear accredited by the proper name of the party with whom it ori.-illated. Bilh amounting altogether to Xi, 2s. 7d. were presented, and were ordered so be paid.. « Afr Evans brought under the notice of the Boarci the state of the drains and privies attached ti the Board School a1-, Dolgelley, and after some discussion up on the matter it was proposed and carried that all the members present should attend the school on Wednesday, the 11th iniOt. to see what was wanted.

I. v •> .-m five c The struggle in toe Denbigh «us W;,$ ..sel than we anticipa!rl, -rut j- i- (xt .y to find Mr WATKIN WILLIAMS, by a sro j rity, again sent tv Pirli^men- »;-n t tie c4ll such good service to the Priaoip.H i,v and the c-;r.i.ry at large. On other than party ^rounds Lhere wvt iu nave been reason to lament a change wnich repLcr ..ue of the soundest lawyers of the day oy an auuabk c untry- gentleman cast in the antique Tory muull. Li- WIL- LIAMS was only thirty ahead of his opponent, 111,1, when it is remembered that in 18'JS he beat Air AIAINWARING by 374, the Conservatives, it mus;, be conlr-e" have ground for consolation in their great disappointing it. They were quite prepared for a different result. IiioeeJ, the triompiial march oi Mr KENTON as M.P. for the Denbigh Boroughs may be said to have begun, when tile «n:.uiiuce- merit of the actual numbers mae it necessary sume a different attitude, and in their overthrow som- of the less scrupulous Tories are circulatmg w.ld and ii., stories, It is seldom a defeated party is magnanimous to accept its fate without accounting lor it by th-. iiisdeeds of the victory, and, although there are circumstances which make it particularly absurd to take tn." course in the Denbigh Borougas, we cannot grudge tho vanquished the poor consolation which it affonis them. l'he Conserva- tives, we think, will hardly challenge the verdict [ public opinion on the way in which th, contest was co.uucted; if they should, the Liberals will not tear the u-alt, but welcome an enquiry tbao can only enhance tuc impor- tance of the victory they have achieved. Aguu st them were engaged the prestige of Wyallswy the -t ru deter- mination of all the great Tory families of the .,uatv to seat Mr KKXYOX the majority, uo douot, of th- ,Jri.t4ulics; a certain amount of toal disco tent; and ta powerful organization of the licensed victuallers. In tne iu.ee of all this opposition, aud the great meeting at "¡¡lCi1 Sir WATKIN spoke on the eve of the contest, it is uot wel- to glory overmuch in the small m .j j;ity for Mr H ILLIAMS. By the tims another election cornea round, tue t'uuiicans will have discovered that thy ,.ave nothing to hope for from a Conservative Governmtn'. the Catholics win proba- t bly have returned to their old "llrgiance, and we siiall not be surprised to see Mr WILLIAMS returned by a larger ma- jority than ever. In the Flint Boroughs the result of the contest astonished everybody. There was considerable doubt whether ijir ROBERT CUNLIFFE would retain his seat against the Con- servative, Captain ROWLY CONWY, but Mr EYTON was looked upon as out of the running. He came in first, however, by four votes over Captain COSWY, and Sir ROBSRT was far behind. Inasmuch as Sir ROBERT was incomparably the best man, we greatly regret tnis result; but in a party sense there is no loss, except that Mr EYTON, we suppose, will hardly be able to attend Paruiment to record his vote.. The numbers polled for the Liberal can- didates will be sufficieut, we should think, to deter the Conservatives irom making another attempt upon the seat, unless there should again bj an opportunity of stopping in through divisions in the Liberal ranks. In the county of Anglesea the old Liberal member received double the num- ber of votes recorded for the Tory-, Captain BULKELEY; and in the Boroughs Mr MORGAN LLOYD polled considerably more than twica as many as Captain HAMPTON LEWIS (Conservative), and 313 more than that gentleman and Captain VERNEY (mild Liberal) together! On the other side of the Straits the electorate has returned to its former representative, Mr PENSAXT. The only new members for North Wales, will be Mr EYTON for Flint, Mr MORGAN LLOYD, Q.C., for the Anglesea Boroughs, Liberals, and Mr PENNANT for Car- narvonshire, Conservative and the change in party repre- sentation leaves us with nine Liberals and three Tories in North Wales. In South Wales, there have been fewchanges, but we have two unfortunate reverses to record. In the Carmarthen Boroughs Mr NEVILL, a Conservative of great local influence and well-deserved popularity, bag beaten Mr STEPNEY, the late member's son. The event, however, has little or no political significmce. Mr XEVILL, we are informed, is a very large employer of labour, and a man esteemed by everybody, and bound to not a few by ties of gratitude as well as esteem. Mr COWELL, on the other hand, was little known. In such circumstances, the I political beliefs of the candidates often have little to do with the result; that this was the case in the Carmarthen Boroughs may be judged from the fact that some of the leading Dissenters so far forgot their duty as to work for the Conservative. We have no wish to blink the real cha- racter of the defeat which Mr GLADSTONE has sustained it can only be fairly accouated for by a desire on the part of the nation to see Mr DISRAELI in power but the elec- tion of Mr NEVILL must hi attributed to different and purely local causes. In Cardiganshire Mr RICHARDS (L) has been beaten by Mr LLOYD (C). In the Cardigan Boroughs Mr DAVID DAVIES (advanced Liberal) has replaced Sir T. D. Lloyd (Whig) In the Radnor Boroughs Lord HARTINGTON palled 612 Major COCKBURN (Tory) only 100 At Swansea Mr DILLWYN was far ahead of his Coac.ervative opponent. In Breconshire the old Conservative member won by a large, in Brecon by a small, majority. At Merthyr Mr HENRY RICHARD was head of the poll, with Mr FOTHERGILL second. At Ha ver- fordwest Lord KENSINGTON rttlined his seat, and Mr SCOL RFIELD did the same unopposed for Pembrokeshire In Glamorganshire the old Liberal members were far a-head sir IVOR GUEST. At Pembroke, acccording to a somewhat of doubtful return Mr REED (L) has beaten Mr MEYRICK(C) making the actual Tory gain in Wales up to the time we write, two; and we have information to hand of all the contests except two, Carmarthenshire and Cardiff. It will be seen that thtre is litt'e change in the per- sonnel of the House of Commons as far as it is connected with this district. The names of RICHARDS, STANLEY, CUNLIFFE, and DAVIES LLOYD, have dropped out, while those of EYTox, MORGAN LLOYD, DAVID DAVIES, PES- NANT, and THOMAS LLOYD, have been added; but there the tranformation stcl)s.

THE REV. W. WALSHAM How AND THE LONDON MIS- sio-v.-In an account of the Day of Preparation (Friday, Feb. 6), for the London Mission, a Broad Church Clergy- man," writing in the Daily News, says-" Among the con- gregation (entirely a clerical one) one saw the faces of many well known missioners and London clergy. The Bishops of London and Rochester took their seats amongst us-the congregation—and a: 12 30 the Rev. W. H. Mil- man, in surplice, hood, and stole, conducted the missioner to the pulpit, and took his own seat in the choir. The Veoi Creatorwas sung—the High Church party kneel- ing, the rest standing, and the Bishops among the latter. Then the preacher, the Ittv. W. Walsham How, mono- toned three collects, aad forthwith proceeded to his ser- mon. Taking his text; from the Second Epistle to Timothy, he eloquently described the strength of the foe with whom battle was to be done in this Mission, aad the weakness j ,,c of the instrumentality to be employed, except so far as it was strong through the Crucified. J-rom Him came to us when we knelt before His cross, the spirit of Strength and Love. He deprecated the going fortn m mere power, or hope of success, and advocated love even for the un- lovable, the cold, the rough, the repulsive. God grant, he said, they might be brought face ;to face with such. So would their love be tried. The picture of the love of Christ brougnt home to such a soul was consummately drawn, and, in conclusion, it was strongly urged that sobermindedness was not to be buspended even during mission work. Excitement might be used by God to awaken the slumbering soul; but there was danger lest such anelelllentmight become excessive, and entail a dan- ger ) as reaction. Intense, but very calm, devotion was a ton more fruitful of good than ore of somewhat unguarded ex :itement, such as was not quite unknown in itission wo.-c. There was a danger lest critics might deem the ■WO" v un-English, and against these they must be ou their guir 1. He concluded his brief but eloquent address with a ap icial prayer for that one e!e:nent of sobermiudedness — ab ) it which he clearly was somewhat in doubt. Three C0.1?cts and the Apostolic benediction were succeeded bv a long interval of silent prayer, during which the contrast of the roar of London city outside, at its very busiest hour, was most significant in comparison with the stillness that reigned around. Among the very first to rise from their knees and pass out at the south door were the two Bishops." The Stamlard sys-" On Friday the clergy juned in several intercess >ry services at St. Paul's, addresses being given in the course of the day by Canon Walsham How, and the Revs. W. Haslim, and R. M. Benson. The former spoke words of sober wisdom arainst that un- guarded and unchastened excitement which has not been unknown in mission work, and trusted that zeal would not so outstrip discretion es that things should be done and said which would be deemed by keen and watchful critics self-willed, fanciful, and un-English. Surely some sacrifice of individual taste and method is a small thing to ask. in order that even the world may see and acknowledge that the spirit which animates us is one of power, and love, and of a sound mind.

THE TICHBORNE CASE. On Thursday the Chief-Justice proceeded to remark upon the improbability of Roger Tichborne's mistaking Lady Radcliffe, whom he once deariy loved, for Mrs Townley. The Lord Chief Justice proceeded to refer to defendant's intercourse with the Seymours, aud pointed out that when he was introduced to Mr D,inby Seymour by Mr Hopkins at Alresford, he mistook Burden. Roger's old servant for his uncle Nangle. He also pointed out a source from which the defendant no doubt obtained much information, namely Roger's letters in the possesion of Lady Tichborne. .0

It will b2 seen by our latest intelligence that Lord CASTLEREACH was not successful in his candidature for South Du.ham. The two old Liberal members were re- elected. The twelve constituencies of North Wales winch have ehosen their msmbsrs are represented by live gentlemen connected with the legal profession. Ivlc OSBORN'S MOKGAX, Mr WATKIX WILL!AM.S, AND Mr MORGAN LLOYD, are P/VVI^el' Mr CHARLES SVYSTN has been called to Queen s ooa.ioci, i n 1 Mr EVTJX IS a so.icnor. Only three of the the bar a families, Lord RICHARD GKOSVENOK eleven belong to nobie ^mnie TRXCY the Hon G. D. PENNANT, and tac lion. U N. i ACI but a third, Sir WATKIN W. WYNN, may be slid in fact, if not by etiquette, to rank with the highest no..mity in Wales. Alltli,, twelve, except Lord RICHARD GliO:SYENOR, are connected with North Wales by birth or residence, or both. Several editors have forestalled the new Reform Bill by giviQ* We-hhnool a separate representation. Among the nomination.^ in more than on3 paper we tin 1 the follow- ing THOMAS RICHARDSON (L), and RALPH \VARD JOHN'S OX (C)." Tae statemmt was first made several days ago, and is still, we believe, to be found in some of the d»»iico. We extract from the Liverpool Courkr a remarkable report of a Conservative meeting at Wrexham, where it Was resolved that an ad Iress 41 signed by all the electors who supported ill* Kii.si\>x" should b3 presented to hiia. How are these electors tJ be discovered ? There are some Conservatives who would be ashamed of their votes, an 1 there are, we ate afrail, some Liberals who would say they voted for Mr KsNYoN, if oaly for what they would call "the fun of the thing." "A strong feeling," we read, "was expressed a3 to the manner in which the Liberals had conducted the contegl." That, of c mrse, simply means that the Tories are bitt Jrly annoyed by ti-ir defeat. "Several gentlemen expressed the the small majority showed tbat Mr WILLIAMS did not represent the feelings of the constituency." That is logic whijii the Con- servatives themselves n-iay understand, but it will puzzle ordinarv folk3. The Tories should follow Mr example, and take tli-ir beating with a good grace. Peorle who circulate stories about shilling and half- crown School Board mtes will scarcely believe that the rate for L'anfair-Caereinion for the last two years nis been 141-,3. in the pound That is the fact, h nvever, a. they will see from our report of Llanfair L>< ;vd meeting this week and there are many places where the rates would be no higher. Woikinginenare entreated to avoid the only system that will educate their childrea well, lest they should have to pay a shilling or half-a-crown a year in rates Mr OSBORNE MORS AN, M.P., delivered a capital speech at lthoiiiinerchrugQg last week. It is short, and we will not diasunde our readers from the pleasure of reading it by giving any summary. Mr MORGAN made a c.:e-er and spirited defence of Liberal policy, and passed an tloqnent eulegiur-, upon Mr GLADSTONE. No less than 3,03 voices have joined the Montgomery- shire Choral Union, and a performance of Handel's Messiah is to be given, in aid of the Montg imeryshire Infirmary, in the spring. Opponents of School Boards should read our report of the last meeting of the Treftglwys Board. A man, who ap- peared to show cause way his chiklrea were not sent to school, said he was too poor to clothe them or to spare them. They neither went to day or- Sunday schoo], and not one of them had ever entered a place of worship, fejhocl Boards are represented as opposed to, and the voluntary sys- tem as in favour of, religion. Well, in this case the volun- tary system had left a whole family in a state of complete heathenism," and it was reserved for the S hool Board even to reveal its exi-tence, and thus take the hrst step for its removal.

Mr Engnt nas been aslisj his opinions on Hone xiule, I but fiobrjolH te express theta for the present. Waon it is necessary to do so he will not shrink from it. The Birmingham School Board have adopted a proposal ef ihe Birmingham eli iois Education Society t) conduct religion,s education in the Board lcnuolcl at CJft;,ja hours, on stated conditions. A Liverpool do-fanohr naaied ba • cdfle has been fined ina(lcq,litl- penalty-for cruelty to dogs.

A COMPLIMENT TO ME FTANLKY LEIGIITON-We are glal to reproduce the following from the (Liberal) Bir- mingham, POST'.—It is very pleasant to meet with an opponent whose courtesy is that of the heart, and not merely of the lip- Mr Stanley Leighton, the late Conservative cm- didate for Hewdley, is a man of this type. In a farewell address, just issued, after thanking his friends for their sup- poithe says Mr Harrison,your newly elected member ,po I have seen a man with whom 1 could agree in most things, excepting politics. I congratulate him on his success, with- out one spark of envy. In wishing you faieweil, I trust j that you my friends, will not think that the Conservative cause has been discredited in my candidature,' We assure Mr Leighton that Conservatism has not only not been discredited, but has been very much honoured by his candidature and we may add that if there were many Conservatives of the same high class, prompted by the same motives, und distinguished by the same genuine cour- tesy, political and p rs^nal differences would be far less pronounced than they are at present. PEAT FUEL.—The Mining and Commercial Times, of the 7th February. Says: "The correspondence of Captain Ahs-ilom Francis, publidied in our last issue, has had the effect of turning public attention, in some degree, to the important subjct referred 1<1 by the distinguished gentleman to whom we refer, a will appear upon referring to his letter in another part of this impression. We rejoice at the fact, inasmuch as it shows a general desire to improve the opportunity of turniog to account the vitst bog and taif fields of the three kingdoms. We say opportunity, for the reason that the experiment must be tried when coal is dear, for the first production of peat fuel will doubtless be expensive as compared with the ultimate price of it when proper machinery shall have been invented and the market openel up. At the present moment even if peat fuel were oifered at the price of production, the popular prejudice against artificial fuel would prevail against extensive sales. But time and the advance in the price of coals will have the effect of weaning thejEnglishman from his devotion to bitumen, smoke and foul vapours. Peat fuel makes a bright, strong tire, free from smoke cr noxious gases, and it will some day be the most satisfactory fuel that has yet appeared." We should gladly publish opinions, suggestions, or lengthy correspondence upon this most important sub- ject, from whatever source it may be sent. HUNTING APPOINTMENTS. [WEATHER PERMITTING.

enthusiasm sdt-iitore it, or rather a s'aiin sett 1 inti has free curse for its powerful operation. and a Tory, boui! ho is all honest in m j to maintain the laws of which they justly com- plain, is their representative. What can be said j about it, except that the majority of th3 Dissenteis | of Carnarvonshire think more of their pockets than their principles? There are many constituencies which can honourably elect a Tory, but we should be guilty of affectation if we said the electors of Carnarvonshire l, had been guided by any very high motives in the choice iftey have made.
