Stopping up Culvert and Diverting Road at Garth.- A letter from Mr. Daniel Williams, Slate Yard, (iarth, was read, in reply to a notice from the Board, on the subject of the Beach Road culvert, and the diversion of roads. A similar notice had been served on Messrs. Parry and Co., but no attention had been paid to it. The Clerk was directed to write again to Mr. Daniel Wil- liams, and Messrs. Parry, and state that unless the re- quirements of the Board were complied with in seven days, the work would be carried out by the Board at their expense. The wall that has been built to stop up the public road, was ordered to be pulled down, and the Clerk was directed to prevent any further encroach- ments.

BANGOR POLICE COURT. TUESDAY, JuSEXo. Before Wm. Bulkeley Hughes, Esq., and J. V. H. Williams, Esq. CHMLTIE OF INTIMIDATION AGAINST WORKMEN. Mr Morgan Richards v. James Thompson and Lewis Itoberts.Tikis was a charge of intimidation against two journeymen tailors in this city, occasioned by a" strike" which had taken place among the men employed by Messrs. M. & T. Richards, clothiers, of this city, in con- sequence of the introduction of a sewing machine upon the premises. The complainant conductedhisown case; 31r. Foulkes defending the men. Mr. Morgan Richards, sworn, said :—I am » master tailor residing in Bangor, and employ from 10 to 20 men -and more if I could get them. I have recently intro- duced a sewing machine into my establishment, 'in con- sequence of which, the men have struck. I offered them 5s. -tjveek more wages if they would go on. They held a committee with the otfler tailors in the town, and it was agreed that they should not work with the ma- chine. I got some men from Liverpool, who were in- duced to leave town. I got another batch, and they also left; and now I have a third lot. The tailors, and amongst them the defendants, all combined toge- ther, and crowded round the door of the workshop, and every time my men go out, the others shout and hoot at them. On Monday morning, the policeman came to me, and told me there was a large crowd round the workmen's lodgings, and that they were afraid of going to their work. I went there, and seeing the crowd as he said, I told the officer I would come with him, and lead the men to their work at eight o'clock. We did so. There were between 40 and 60 men outside. When we got into the middle of the crowd, I heard Thompson shout out, Set at them, lads! Lewis Roberts also made use of the same expression, and the other men in the crowd shouted, and made a great uproar. The work- men were very much terrified, They were afraid of go- ing to their work. This kind of proceeding has been going on for some days. Cautioned both defendants twice. Cross-examined by Mr. Foiilkes-Heard the two de- fendants calling my men black Rheep. I cautioned Ro- berts on Saturday. He and Thompson were in front of the men. I asked the policemen to take them into cus- tody, but he declined, saying I had better take a sum- mons out against them. I have summoned some of my my old hands, for breach of contract, iu the County Court. Police-oiffcer Joseph Morris, said that he was wits comphinant on Monday morning. He had three of hi own hands along with him. The crowd were very noisy. I did not hear any threatening language. Saw the de- fendants there. Heard Thompson say "Send them on, send them on." Declined to apprehend them at Mr. Richards' request Saw Roberts with Thomson in the crowd. I called on Mr. Richards, fearing that his work- men would not be allowed to go to their work. I did not hear Lewis Roberts say anything; but I heard him singing. Cross-examined by Mr. FonlkeB-Di,I not know all the men that were about at five o'clock in the morning. Cannot swear that the two defendants were there then. Did not hear what the men intended doing. I did not see any one laying his hands on or threatening Vtp. Richards nor the men either; for aught I know the crowd were helping the men to go to their work. I don't understand lIluch English, but understood Thomp- son say, send them on, lads." He-examined-l saw the men going backwards and forwards in front of the workmen's lodgings. Knew the men worked with Mr. Richards, and that there had been some interference before with them. Received or- ders from the Sergeant to watch the spot for fear any- thing should happen. It appeared the 'songs were di- rected against the workmen. Win. Elli. said-I am one of complainant's work- men. Was engaged last Wednesday. On Saturday a large crowd gathered around our lodgings. We were before a committee of workmen, who offered our fare to go out of town, which I declined. I saw Thompson amohg the committee. I cannot say if Roberts was there. On Saturday morning there was a crowd as be- forehand we thought it better not to go for some time. On Saturday evening a crowd followed us down the town, and on Sunday there was a small crowd. We heard some expressions which we considered opprobious. The 'crowd were singing and shouting. I did not hear Thompson or Roberts say anything to incite the crowd. We were half afraid, half ashamed to go out first thing on Monday morning. Thompson was among the fore- most of the crowd. We should have been at work at half-past seven on Monday morning, but we were afraid to go till Mr. Richards, and the police officer, came to fetch us. Cross-examined by Mr. Foulkes-On Monday night somebody threw stones at us. The obstruction we com- plained of, is the apprelieusion of danger. The commit- tee offered us 2s. 6d each, and to pay our fare back to Liverpool. No one told us that there was any violence to be committed. No one threatened us with violence. The crowd collected near the workshop at dinner time, and we were afraid of going out. Thompson came to me as the leader of a number of men, who wished us to leave the town in order to get rid of the sewing-ma- chine. Mr. Foulkes then addresasd the Bench for defendants, and called Daniel Jones—Who said: I saw Lewis Roberts com- ing back from Llandegai before breakfast time. Saw some men near Mr. M eshach Roberta's place, but none in coming back. Joseph Reeves said-I was within two yards of Thompson yesterday. I did not hear him say anything, or the expressions attributed to him. Cross-examined—I saw Roberts also in the crowd. I don't understand Welsh. I cannot undertake to swear that Thompson said nothing. Mr. Richards did not caution me. Was not there when the last lot had been offered some money to go away but I heard that some bad supper and breakfast, and I contributed to the money paid to them for going away. I did not hear Roberts say anything. Saw him coming from the di- rection of the Penrhyn Arms at the time the men came from their lodgings. Could not say what he said be- tween there and J ames street. Thompson was sentenced to one month's imprison- ment; Roberts to fourteen days'imprisonment—hard labour. Notice of appeal was given.

UPPER BANGOR NEW CHURCH. I LAYING THE FOUNDATION STONE. In accordance with the notice given, the ceremony of laying the first stone of this Church was performed on the 29th lIlt., by Mrs. Price, of Brynymor, and notwith- standing the unfavourable state of the weather, the pro- moters of this good work, and their friends, were enabled to effect their object without much inconvenience from the rain. From the many unavoidable difficulties and delays which had occurred the committee were naturally anxious to make the first step in advance, at the earliest possible period, after obtaining possession of the site. The persons who had consented to take part in the procession to the ground having met at Brynymor, the residence of Mrs. Price, took the repective places assign- ed to them, and started punctually at 12 15 p.m., headed by the royal Penrhyn biass band, and led by the Senior Vicar, and the Very Rev. the Dean of Bangor. We noticed among the Clergy present the following members of the Cathedral htaff :The Venerable the Archdeacon of Bangor, one of the Canons in residence; the Rev. James Purvis, Senior Minor Canon the Rev. Charles Jones, Junior Minor Canon; the Rev. D. Evans, Senior Vicar: ,tli(I the Rev. J. Price, Junior Vicar. The Rev. W. Morgan, Llandegai; the Rev. J. Williams, Drelin- court; the Rev. L. Lewis, Rector of Denbigh; the Rev. Henry H. Price, the Incumbent of Ash. Mrs. Price, having one of the architects on one side, and the contractor on the other, was followed by the ladies and laity, whose names, as far as we were able to remark, we give :-Mrs. Vincent; Mrs. Wynne Jones; Mrs. Slater; Mrs. (ireeuall; Mrs. Williams and Miss Williams ITyddyn]; Mrs. Vaughan Jones; Mrs. Purvis; Miss Bahiugton; Mrs. Barber; Mrs. Magnus; Mrs. Charles Jones; Miss Keane; Miss Staines Mrs. Parker; Miss Roberts; Miss Reade; NIN. H. H. Price; and Mrs. EvanA. Edward Greenall, Esq; J. V. H. Williams, Esq.; J. W. Hughes, Esq.; Ur. H. R. Hughes; and H. Kemiedv, Esq. The school children, with fla., on which were inscribed the following words, "Let thy priesta be clothed with righteousness, and let thv saints shout for joy. Psalm 132, v. 9. June 29, A.D., 1864," lead by Mrs. II. H. Price and Mrs. Evans, closed the procession. On arriving at the erwtern entrance to the ground, the band filed off right and left., up Belmont Lane and the Holyhead Road, when the cler"jv and the lady who was to carry out the principal object of the day proceeded to the trench and platform, where the stone was suspended preparatory to being lowered to its place in the foundation. The childreu, and Welsh and English choirs, took up their stand at the west of the site, and sung two hymns in a very pleasiii" manner, in the interval between which the Rev. the Senior Vicar offered up an appropriate prayer. After the second hymn the Rev D. EVANS then addressed the persons as- fsemloled in the following terms :-My Dear Friend. We are met together to-day to do a good work-a work of the greatest importance. We are assembled to lav the first stone of the House of God, to build a house to" that great Being who dwelleth not in temples made with hands, but as the Prophet said, Whose throne is heaven, and whose footstool is the earth." But though it is true that God is every where, and that we cannot go anywhere where he is not; yet it is true that there are times and places when and where God vouchsafes His especial presence to all those who faithfully and humbly seek Him. In the Old Testament we read 6f places being especially appointed for the worship of God. Thus we read, But unto the place where the Lord your God shall choose out of all your tribes to place his name there even unto his habitation shall ye seek, and thi- ther shall ye come." Speaking of the tabernacle which was to be set apart for his worship, God says, There will I meet with the children of Israel, and the taberna- cle shall be sanctified by my glory;" and accordingly we find it written, that 11 When the tabernacle was set up, the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle. Respect- ing the temple that Solomon built, God was graciously pleased to Bay, "I have heard thy prayer and thy sup- l plication that thou hast made before me; I hive hal- lowed this house which thou hast built, to put my name there for ever and mine eyes and my heart shall be there perpetually." So, too, of the second temple, which was built after the return from the captivity in Babylon, God declared, In this place will I give peace." Now, since it cannot be that God will be less gracious to his people under the new and better dispensation which Christ introduced than he was under the Old Testament dispensation, so we may safely conclude that his pre- sence and blessing which were vouchsafed to the devout Israelites when waiting upon him according to his appointment, shall be also granted to the devout believers in Christ, when humbly waiting upon God in the place which is set apart for his service. We should, therefore, consider it one of our greatest privileges to be instrumental in bnilding a house to the Lord our God. It is unnecessary for me to take up your time in endea- vouring to show that a Church was needed in this part of Bangor, as I feel sure that all who are acquainted with the neighbourhood, and have the Church's cause at heart, will readily admit it. Our late worthy Dean laboured hard for many years for the purpose of supplying this deficiency, and spared no personal efforts towards the accomplishment of his praiseworthy object; but so many obstacles rose up one after another, both during his life. time and after his death, that the good work has been necessarily delayed until now. Though the Dean was not permitted to see the Church begun, yet we may be sure that his zeal and pious labours have not been un. rewarded. As it was the wish of many, some time back, who had had oppoitunities of witnessing the great amount of good the Dean had been instrumental in effecting, as well as bis unwearied exertions in the cause of education, church-building, and every other good work,—that a fitting memorial should be raised up to him; it has been thought that under the circumstances there could not be a more appropriate one than the sa- cred edifice whose foundation stone is to be laid to-day, and therefore it was agreed that it should be built as a Memorial Church to the late Dean Cotton. Perhaps it would not be irrelevant on the present occasion to state that we should not have been able to commence this good work to-day, had it not been for the large subscrip- tions promised by several individuals in Bangor and its neighbourhood, as well as by a few at a distance two inparticuJarmay bomentioiied, Col.theHon. E.G.D. Pen- nant. who, with his characteristic liberality has given X300 towards purchasing the site, besides a handsome subscription. The site would have been gladly given by the intended donors had they been able to do so but as the law now stands that, unfortunately, was out of their power. Another very large contributor both to- wards the endowment and also the building, as most of you are aware, is the lady who is about to lav the fouu dation stone. I am sorry to say that another lady in this neighbourhood, who is a large subscriber, [Miss Ro- berts, George Hotel], has been prevented from attending on the present occasion. We shall now proceed to lay the foundation-stone, which Mrs. Price has kindly un- dertaken to do; and may it be our prayer, that in this Church, when built and dedicated to His service, God's presence and blessiug may ever abide that here many may be made the spiritual temples of the Lord; the ha- bitation of God through the Spirit. Mrs. Price, [whom we were glad to see in such good health as to be enabled to go through the part of the in- teresting proceedings she had undertaken to perform] in a very workmanlike manner spread the mortar with the elegant trowel, and used the mallet and ma- hogany level provided for the occasion, and handed to her by the architect and builder, as if well accustomed to such operations. On striking the stone with the mallet Mrs. Price made use of the following words:—" In the faith of Jesus Christ we place the foundation stone of this Church, to be consecrated for ever to the service of Almighty God, in the Nalll" of God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy GhORt, Ainen." The following were enclosed in a bottle, which was afterwards hermetically sealed,—a sovereign, half- sovereign, half-a-crown, a florin, a shilling, a sixpence, a fourpenny piece, a penny, a half-penny, ami a farthing, allot the present year's coinage, a copy of the NORTH WALES CHRONICLE and Carnarvon 11erald of the 25th ult., a card of the order of procession, and the following list of the committee and principal subscribers to the church, the Right Rev. the Lord Bishop of Ban- gor; the Canon in Residence, the Rev. Daniel Evans, Senior Vicar of Bangor the Rev. William William-, Llauddyfnan, Anglesey; the Rev. Leonard Slater, Bel- mont; Col. the Hon. E. n. D. Pennant, M.P.; Edward Greenall, Esq., Gorphwysfa; John William Hughes, Esq., Bryn Menai; R. M. Griffith, Esq., National and Pro- vincial Bank of England; Captain Jones, Museum, Ban- gor; Mr. George Simpson, Bangor; Mr. James Pring, Bangor; Mr. Fricker, Trosycanol; Mr. H. Kennedy, Bangor. Architects—Messrs. Kennedy and Rogers, Bangor, and Albion Chambers, 11, Adam Street, Adelphi, London. Builder—Mr. W. T. Rogers, Pen-y- Parc, Beaumaris. The first Btoue was laid by Mrs. Price, Brynymor, June 29th, A.D., 1864. Another hynm was then sung, and the procession re- turned to Brynymor in the same order as it went to the ground. After reaching the Brynymor grounds the children were ranged along the part of the drive in front of the house, and were presented, by Mrs. Price, with buns, oranges, and a new penny. The children eviiieed their satisfaction at the receipt of these gifts by giving several hearty cheers for Mrs. Price. The persons present then partook of a superb luncheon, prepared by their kind hostess, and left, after tea, much pleased with the day's proceedings. The edifice, which is designed in the second pointed style, and the first stone of which was laid, is only part of the plan contemplated by the promoters, as the building is so planned and placed on the site, that a north aisle and south transept may be hereafter added, should the neigh- bourhood so increase as to justify the committee in col- lecting funds. Further funds are also required for the completion of the tower and spire. A DINNER Was provided, at the Belle Voe Hotel [assufficient room could not be provided at Brynymor], to which about forty gentlemen were invited by Mrs. Price. The table was served up in a liberal style, and the catering of Miss Jones appeared to give entire satisfaction. The chair was occupied by Mr. Evan Evans, senior churchwarden, and the vice-chair by Mr. T. T. Parry, the other churchwarden. The loyal toasts having been disposed of, The VicF.-CHAlKM.fs proposed the "Army, navy, and volunteers," and took occasion to observe that it seemed to bim very strange that no public institution in Ban- gor permanently flourished. The utmost time which any society or institution was destined to last in the city was never more than a twelvemonth. It was difficult to account for such a state of things, but such was the fact. [Hear, hear.] The volunteer corps had almost met with a similar fate; but he was happy to say it was likely to resucitate, under the able command of Mr. Pritchard, of Tan y coed. (Cheers.) With this toast he had great pleasure in coupling the names of two very attentive and efficient members of the corps—Mr. W. Roberts and Mr. Samuel Hughes. Mr. W. ROBERTS, in reply, believed that there were among the members of the Bangor company many true and loyal hearts, that would never shirk from the per- formance of their duty whenever their services might be required. As had been intimated, under the manage- ment of Mr. Pritchard, he had no doubt the corps ,is any other com- would prosper, and become as efficient as any other com- pany in the county. [Applause.] Thp. VICE-CHAIHMAN again rose, and proposed the "Bishop and clergy of the diocese." Their esteemed diocesan always evinced a sincere deKire to do every- thing that had a tendency to extend the usefulness of the church, and to spread the Redeemer's kingdom throughout the world. (Applause.) Mr. Homms gave the health of the "Lord Lieutenant, Sir R. Bulkeley," of whose liberality and kindness, as a landlord, he was everywhere well spoken of. He felt great desire, though he was aware of its irreguliarity, to propose Sir Richard's and Lady Bulkeley's names toge- ther; because there never was a more amiable, and a more charitable lady than her..In dispensing her chari- ties she never asks whether the recipient is a Church- man, a Roman Catholic, or a Dissenter, but seeks for fit objects of charity. [Cheers.] The VICE-CHAIRMAN next gave the "Members for the county and boroughs." Respecting Colonel Pennant, it was needless, in a company composed of the citizens of Bangor, to dilate upon his good qualities. He main- tained that he had done more good for Wales than hardly any man living, in proof of which he pointed them to the schools he had erected—to the churches he reared and endowed-and to the liberal contributions he always gave towards every good object. (Cheers.) As to the'member for the boroughs, he had not the pleasure of his acquaintance. The VICE-CHAIRMAN again rose, and proposed the health of the lady who had that day laid the foundation stone of the new Upper Bangor Church—Mrs. Price. (Cheers) She was a lady greatly respected; and for what she had done in connection with that church es- pecially, she was entitled to their best regard. [Hear, hear.] He wished her health, long life, aud happiness. He wished them also to understand that she not only laid the foundation stone, but contributed one thousand pounds towards the endowment, and a hundred pounds towards the building. [Cheers.] When a person comei forward in this liberal manner and contributes largely of her substance towards God's sanctuary, she must be sincerely attached to the cause,—it is no outward, emp- ty show, but a reality. He had, therefore, much pleasure in proposing the "health of Mrs. Price. (Ap- plause, ? ? FOULKES proposed the Chairman's health," a gentleman whom be had known for many years, and who was universally well spoken of-he meant Mr. Churchwarden Evans. (Applause.) Mr. EVAM returned thanks, I The ViM-CHAMMAN proposed the health of Mr. Rogers, the contractor of the new church. [App'MM.J Mr RootM aid that he had buht altogether from twenty to thirty churches; and never had he any dis- pute with either the committee or the clergy about his contract. (Cheers.) He had not finished the Lower Bangor church yet; but h'e hoped to be spared to see the completion of the Upper Baogor church as well, and the time when it might be said that many a sinner hap turned from the evil of his ways within those sacred edifices. Before sitting down he begged to be allowed to propose a toast which should have preceded his, viz., the u health of the architect, Mr. Kennedy." He was a man of ta- | lent, a man of sterling integrity, and a man whose straightforward conduct earned him the good opinion of all around him. Whatever they might think of him, those who could appreciate his talents thought and spbke of him very highly. [Applause.] The VfCE-CifAraMA.v proposed the "health of Miss Roberts, George Hotel"—a lady whose charities were unbounded, and who contributed to everything thit she considered conducive to the people's welfare. (Ap- plziuse. i Mr. ROBERTS proposed the "Vice-Chairman's health," which that gentleman acknowledged in a brief buta neat speech. Mr ROGERS begged to propose the health of a gen- tleman who had for years faithfully represented the Carnarvonshire Boroughs in Parliament, and who still served his country in many public capacities. He sup- ported all meetings and public institutions, with all his might; and, moreover, he was a man that could be ap- proached upon all occasions. At the Board of Guardians and petty sessions he was always to be found—making himself useful everywhere. (iletr, hear.) Never was there a member sent to Parliament more anxious to serve his constituents than he, and who exerted himself more on behalf of poor Welsh lads in London. He, therefore, proposed the "health of Mr. Bulkeley Hughes." (Applause.) Then followed the "Press," the health of Miss Jones, the hostess, &c. Mr. ROGERS proposed the "town and trade of Ban- gor," which had wonderfully improved in size and im- portance during the last few years. When he was a lad there were only thi.ee shops in the place (which he named), and what an immense trade there is now here ? He hoped they would go ou inert;using. and secure to themselves the Bangor and Llauberis Railway," which would do a deal of good to them without injuring Car- narvon in the least. (Hear, hear.) And let them also secure the country business by a pier at Garth. Mr. PAHKY returned thanks, and fully coincided with MT. Rogers as to the good a railway would do from Bangor to Llanberis, by which they would secure to themselves "a circular sailing," having also a branch from Llanberis to Carnarvou, without injuring the latter place. (Hear, hear.) The company then separated. In the evening a supper was given to the choristers by the Itev, D. EVans and Mrs. Evans, at the Prince of Wales Kestauraufc, Pendre. The churchwardens pre- sided, the senior, Mr. E Evans, occupying the chair; the vice-chair was filled hy Mr. T T. Parry, who, after the removal of the cloth, gave the following toasts—- 14 The Queen," The Prince and Princess of Wales," when the National Anthem ilnd "God bless the Prince of Wales," were sung Mr. Williams, of St. Aidan's College, Birkenhead, in a fluent Welsh speech, proposed the health of the Bishop and Clergy, which elicited repeated hursts of applause. Mr. Green, National Schoolmaster, proposed the health of the Rev. D. and Mrs. Kvans; thanking them for their kindness in providing so bountiful a repast, and enabling them to spend a pleasaut evening. Mr. Rogers, Penyparc, the Contractor for the erection of the new church, dilated upon the great progress made in Bangor by the National and British School systems, and poitite(I out the great advantages derived from them. Mr. Hughe;, Vaenol, recited, in English and Welsh, & few stanzas, composed for the occasion, which will ap- pear in our next. The company, after thanking the landlord, Mr. John WiHiams, tor thegreat taste displayed [under the manage- ment of Miss Boston] in the\ laying of the tables, tbf? goodness of the viands, and the general management of the affair, broke iii).

CARNARVON. I WOMBWELL'S MENAGERIE.—This exhibition was in this town on Friday and Saturday, 23rd and 24th ult., and gave great delight to all those who visited it. Ex- hibition of this kind cannot be too much encouraged, as few things are more instructive than natural history. We understand it will pass through here again on Satur- day, on its way to Bangor and Anglesey. M OWING MACHINE.—We have much pleasure in being able to state that a fair trial has been made with this valuable adjunct to easy farmers, on Thursday last, in a field opposite the railway station, belonging to Mr. Humphreys, of the Royal Hotel. Mr. Windsor (the agent) in the early part of the day took the management of it, afterwards Mr. Humphreys, and latterly one of his servants took charge of it. The very superior man- ner it did its work was so apparent, that there cannot be a doubt of its being generally adopted in this part of the country. It is right to observe that it can be re- gulated to cut as olose to the ground as possible, and with such regularity over that in the field cut by the scythe, was so apparent, that a large increase of hay is not only saved, but the work can be done at least at half the coat of manual labour. One man or a boy, who can drive, can cut down 15 acres per day with two horses. PETTY SESSIONS, JUNE 25.— Before W. B. Hughes, Esq., in the chair; Rev Canon Williams, C.

Larceny. -William Williams was charged with steal- ing a shirt, the property of Thomas Rees, Port Din- orwic. Anne Rees, the wife of prosecutor, deposed that on the previous day she put some clothes out to dry on a hedge near the house. About three o'clock in the after- noon she discovered that the shirt had been taken away. The shirt now produced was the one she lost. It was worth from 2s. to 2s. 6d. It had been worn since she lost it. P.C. Ed. Jones, Carnarvon, produced a shirt, and de- posed that he found it upon the person of prisoner. Prisoner, who was described by Superintendent Pavies as a regular prowling thief, was then charged with steal- ing a pair of trowsers and a Ouernsay frock, the property of Thomas Williams, Port Diuorwic. Ellin Williams, mother of prosecutor, deposed that she put the trowsers and frock out to dry'on the previous day, and between six and seven in the evening she found they were gone. The trowxeT* were worth 2s. 6d, or 3s., and the frock from 8s. to 9s. Thomas Williams, father of prosecutor, said that when on the road to Carnarvon, on the day in question, he met prisoner. He "was then dressed similar to what he was now. On returning from the town he again met prisoner, who then had on a pair of clean fustian trow- sers, something like those produced by the officer. P.C. Edward Jones deposed that he took prisoner into custody that (Saturday) morning, and charged him with stealing these things. He found the trowsers upon him. prisoner said he had bought them at Liverpool a fort- night before.

The New County hail.-Mr. Richard Davies, builder, informed their worships that the new county hall would be so far completed as to be fit for the holding of the next assizes in it.

DENBIGH. DREADFUL FIGHTiNG.-About midnight, on Saturday last, a terrible row broke out in the neighbourhood of Middle Lane, amongst a number of men who were in- furiated by the effect-i of intoxicating liquors. They kicked and attacked each other in a most brutal man- ner. One man named Edward Jones, stonemason, was very seriously injured, and he was considered to be in a critical state on the following day. On Monday three of the men, viz., Thomas Jones, stone cutter, Edward Lewis, plasterer, and Hugh Lewis, shoemaker, were taken into custody, charged with maliciously injuring Edward Jones. They were brought before the Mayor and D. Pierce, and were remanded till Monday next. Bail waB accepted. OBSTRUCTION AT BEACON'S HILL.—Complaints have lately been made of a large heap of stones being left on Beacon's Hill to the interruption of persons travelling thereon; but we are glad to find that our active In- spector of Nuisances, Sergeant Davies, has taken the matter in hand, and summoned the guilty party, Mr. Foulkes, of Graig, for an offence against the Highway Act. Mr. Foulkes subsequently complied with the strict latter of the law, and the summous was conse- quently withdrawn. It is, unfortunately, a common practice in Denoigh to.obstruct the public thorough- fares, and we commend the conduct of Sergeant Davies for performing his duties so independently.

S15 persons were proceeded against summarily during the past quarter, 153 of whom were fined, 12 bound in recognizances, and 43 committed to gaol as follows :— assaults 2, breaches of the peace 2, drunkenness (i, of- fences against the game laws 4, malicious injuries 2, de- serting family 1, servants and apprentices 3, larceny 17, vagrancy 6. Fifteen indictable offences were reported to the police during the past quarter, for which 9 persons were ap- prehended, one of whom was discharged, and 8 commit- ted for trial as follows :-Iluuebreakiiig 1, assault with intent to ravish, &c, 1, simple larceny 3, larceny from the person 1, embezzlement 1, arson 1. Oflenees not tr(teed,-Itifatiticide 2, concealment of birth 1, larceny 4,—total 7. The new police clothing has been supplied, and the contract is well performed. One constable has been dismissed since my last report, and one resigned. One of these vacancies has been filled and I have engaged a man for the other, which will complete the strength of the force. The county, I am happy to state, is in a vrey peace- ful aud quiet state, and crime is on the decrease, as will appear from the number of indictable offences, and value of the property stolen. (Signed) JOHN DENMAK. SURVEYOR S REPORT. Bacht Mills SrkVje.—I regret to inform you that the severe rain storms which visited certain portions of the County on the 19th of May, took the form of a water spout in the little mountain valley above this Bridge, sweeping large pieces of the bank away, and completely undermining and working round the foundations of it and carrying the whole of one side away. To prevent the possibility of the bridge being again washed away, I beg to suggest that the following pre- cautions be taken 1. That the foundations be taken down to the depth of 12 or 14 feet below the original bed. 2. That the invert from pier to pier be of the heaviest stone procurable, and that an apron be continued up the stream for a distance of 2.5 feet, and that it covered down in such a mauuer, as to prevent the stream forcing itself under. 3. That a discharging wall for the stream extending along the north bank to some distance round the curve, in order to turn the waters and ease them through the bridge. The designs will shew these and all other requisites Pack Saddle Bridge.-I have to report that the para- pet of this bridge has been partly destroyed on one side, having been thrown down on the night of the 12th or the morning of the 13th. I took the responsibility of offering a reward of X2 for the apprehension of the guilty party. I calculate the damage done will amount to R15 or .t:16. To pre- vent a recurrence of this, I propose inserting a rod through the length of the parapet. The Contractor for Bedwell and Pickhill bridges, hav- ing neglected to repair the road, according to his con tract, I stopped the orders, whereupon he issued a County Court summons against me, which I was obliged to defend—and succeeded in getting a verdict. It cost me many jourueys and much time. I have let the roads to another contractor at the same price. [The course taken by the Surveyor in this matter, was approved of by the Court]. Policeman') House at Llansantffruid-Glan-Conway.— The design submitted to this Court at the Hilary Quarter Sessions, and appproved, and subsequently laid before the Ven. Archdeacon Jones, of Bryneisteddfod, who also approved it. Tenders were given in by several builders, the lowest of which being X200. The work now awaits your determination in regard to the rent, as the Archdeacon expects to receive 5 per cent on the outlay. The order of the Court upon the occasion re- ferred to, was for £8 or S9. Order of the Court.—The order to stand as before. Pont man fanat.—The Justices in Petty Sessons ac- cepted Mr. John Williams's tender of £40, for repairing and making good this liridge, as ordered at the last Quarter Sesfsions. The work is now being proceeded with. Pack Saddle tfrWyc.-Since I wrote my former state- ment in regard to this Bridge, further depredations have been committed, and with the concurrence of the ma- gistrates, I had some more bills printed, offering jC20 re- ward for the apprehension and conviction of the perpe- trators of so wanton an act. Llanarmon Bridge.—The parapet ivall on one, side of this bridge is very much out of repair, and I expect it daily to fall. It should be at once repaired. [The Court ordered the work to be executed]. Llannnt Lo--I..ttp. I have been ordered by the Jus- tices of the district, to report to this Court, the incon- venience they are subjected to by having no retiring room. The Court being small there is some difficulty in clearing it when the Justices require to consult to- gether. A brief discussion arose on this subject. The CHAIRMAN appeared averse to any expense being incurred in erecting a retiring room for the magistrates. If such work was allowed to be done at Llaurwst, he felt sure that applications from other places would he made to the Court to grant similar conveniences. He referred to the Llangollen Lock-up and Court room, and said it was only a matter of taste to call for new armug". menta to be made in connection with them. Magistrate i were becoming more refined these days. Mr. SANDBACH—They ought to be more refined nov., than formerly. The CHAIRMAN —Yes; they are at liberty to have as much refinement as they please in their own houses but we are here met to lay out the money of the rate- pavers, and we should be as saving as possible. Mr. JAS. MAURICE made an observation to the effect that the Llangollen lock-up was in a wretched state. Notice was eventually given, in compliance with the requirements of the law, that at the next Quarter Ses- sion a motion will be made to have a retiring-room at the Magistrates Court, Llanrwst, at the expense of the County. ACCOMMODATION FOR LLANRWST VOLUNTEERS. Mr. SANDBACH desired to be informed if the Court would grant an order to erect a building attached to the Llanrwst Lock-up for the accommodation of the Vo- lunteers viz., a house for the Drill Instructor, contain- ing a room to keep the arms, and a cell to keep the ammunition. The CHAIRMAN said the Court had no authority to make such an order. Mr SANDBACH then asked if he might be allowed to make the building at his own expense He had no ob- jection to the building being considered County pro- perty. All he required was suitable accommodation for the Volunteers. After a short conversation, it was resolved- That I Ir Sandbach be permitted to build such readeucr and eel on the north-east comer of the garden attached to the lock-up at Llanrwst, subject to the approval of the County Surveyor, such intended building to lie drtiched from the prisoners' y,\rd -uuder a mte of Is. per &q- iiiiin-f,-r the use of the Volunteer force of the Llan- nvst neighbourhood during such time as such Volun- teer force be enrolled." The Court adjourned at 4 p.m., till 10 a.m. on Friday, for the trial of prisoners. The following were tried :— James Terrence Finnigan, for having on the 19th of March last, at Wrexham, stolen £6 llis. the, monies of his employer. James McCartney, for having on the 15th of May, feloniously entered the dwelling-house of Robt. Lloyd, Green, near Denbigh, and stolen a coat, Waistcoa% and two memorandum books. Mary Ann Fowler, for having on the lOch of J one, stolen from the person of James Ankers, the sum of £ and other monies, at Wrexham. We shall publish a full report of yesterday's business in our next.

I FLINTSHIRE QUARTER SESSIONS. These Sessions were opened on Wednesday last, at the County Hall, in Mold, before J. Scott Baukes, Esq., (chairman), and a numerous assemblage of country ina- gistrates. The whole of that day was occupied in the discharge of the civil busiueaa of the county, including the follow- ing relating to THE FLINT COUNTY GAOL. The Chairman stated that owing to complaints of Mr. ff averfield, the new gaoler, of an alleged nuisance at the gaol, arising from the Works of Messrs. Muspratfc and Huntley, the matter had been referred to the Gaol Com- mittee, who had visited the Works on Monday last They found that all the requirements of l.ord Derby'* Act for the condensation of certain gases duly complied with, but the ma'.ter complained of was sulphurated hy- drogen gas from the waste thrown outside the Worb. A great deal had been said ^observed Ali- BankesJ as to the good health of the town of Flint, but that they had nothing to do with. All they had to do with was to enquire whether the alleged nuisance was such as to be prejudicial to the health of the prisoners at the gaol Mr. Hankes went on to read the opinion of Dr. Hughes, the gaol surgeon, who, in stating the fact of an offensive smell arising from this time,but only for a short time when the wind blew inthe direction from the works to the gaol, hut that it was not deleterious to health, and that it was so transitory that he had not been able to detect anything but passing effects on the human constitution. The Chairman left the matter in the hands of the Court Mr. Vaughan Williams, County Court Judge, said that he had stopped at Flint on his way 'here that morning, ai.d from enquiries of Nir. Muspratt he found that they had lately been constructing an embankment towards Bagillt with the waste in question, from which a larger quantity of it than usual had been exposed to the action of the tide, and thereby evolving more than ordinary amount of this gas. But the progress of the I embankment had been stopped, and the tinn did not ilt- I tenrl laying any more within reach of the tide. Mort" over, that they were constructing another embankment of other material to protect the inner waste embank- ment from the side. If this were done, he had every reason to believe that the evil complained of would be abated. Captain Mostyn said that this was no modern ques- tion. Years ago, the Gaol Committee, of which he was a member, were instructed to enquire into any effect these Works might have on the health of the prisoners, and the committee was invariably told by both the gaoler and the gaol surgeon that there was nothing what- ever detrimental in them. And, it seemed to him (Capt. Mostyn) that from that time to this the opinion of the gaol surgeon was the same. He, therefore, suggested that it would only be fair to Messrs. Mile- pratt and Huntley that time should be given them to carry out their intention with respect to the new em- bankment. The Journal of the present gaoler was read, who, in complaining of the alleged nuisance, also stated that the health of the prisoners was good, which produced some applause. Captain Thomas having referred to the health of the town of Flint, observed that if this question were a philanthropic one, then the sympathy ought rather to be shewn to the town of Flint which did not complain of the nuisance, rather than to prisoners, and who could not imagine that it was so bad, or the inhabitants would complain. Mr. Philips said that Messrs. Muspratt & Huntley had been great benefactors to that town, so that the latter would put up with the smell. Captain Thomas said prisoners always grumble about something. Mr. Wynne Eyton—But we must not send them there to be smothered. (Laughter.) Mr. Vaughan NVilliams-This is only a temporary matter, and will blow over. Major Wills said-If they continue depositing the waste where they are now the tide will not reach it, and in a short time the nuisance will have ceased. ((Messrs. Muspratt and Huntley having been sent for, ) fr. E. Ey-ton. attended with their solicitor—Mr. E, Eyton. Mr. Huntley said that there was less of this gas at the gaol than there was at Harrogate, or close to Lord Derby's seat. He confirmed what had been said respecting the new embankment, as also did Mr. Muspratt. Mr. Keates said the justices might take it for granted that everything would be done by Messrs. Muspratt and Huntley for abating any evil still remaining. The matter then dropped. THURSDAY.—TRIAL OF PRISONERS. Joge,ph b.divt)-di (twice previotiity convicted of felony), for attempting to steal potatoes at Holywell.—Sentence, 3 years' imprisonment.
