DIOCESAN INSPECTION. J'o the Editor of tlte Xorth Wales Chronicle. Sir,—" Minister" appears on the ifeld only when lie finds that A 1,ate Inspector" has retired. This ac- counts for his having the idea of bolstering up so ready at hand. He feels he is doing a little in that line him- self, and, like a guilty schoolboy, seeks to divert atten- tion from himself by accusing another. The qtiestioi) of having the programme earlier is not one affecting the pockets or the rights of NILi,(,,i,,ter*' ,tiid "A L;tte Inspec- tor." Why, then, are they so sore about it ? There must be some cause for their wriggling. What is it ? I won- der whether it is because, by attending the meeting-, of the Board of Education, they get to know early what I the subjects of the ensuing examination are to be—com- municate them to the teachers in their schools—and thus gain on advantage over others, which they are loath to part with There i one point in Magister's" letter worthy of special notice, as it lets out the cause of the programme oeiug so long dehyed, IInd leads us to suppose that summer and autumn have exchanged places He says From enquiries I made, I learn that it is not un- usual to request the Inspector to defer his examination to such a time and day that the school can uitister tltv. strongest. And if the Inspector is kept until the middle of autumn before he can examine the schools in his dis- trict, how can he tender in his report much earlier than September <" The Tabulated Report shows that the latest inspection last year took place on the 29 th oj July. His idea as to what tune of the year is autumn shows that while I and my friend, "Somebody-or-other," are im- proving our diction, he may be advantageously increasing his stock of general information. It seems that the rea- son of the delay is the lateness of thesendiug in of the reports by the Inspectors. The subjoined table exhibit. the number of schools examined by each Inspector, and the time of the exami- nation; and is interesting, as it shows that the reports might be sent in early ill August, and that many schools have the advantage of having six weeks or two months more time to prepare for the examination than others.

He made his notes on each school at the time of the exami- nation, so that all he had to do after July 14th was to make a copy of them, and send it to the Secretary of the Board. This might be done comfortably in the course of ODO eVOIlitlg. His report, therefore, might have been easily sent in by August 1st. allowing him ample time to get breath after the arduous task of in- specting eighteen schools in two months I If he could do it by that time, the others could, as they had not so many schools to inspect. Twenty-one out of the twenty- two schools in the deanery of Arllechvvedd were exa- minclI in .May; considering the time the programme was issued, had not the 48 schools examined in J uly an unfair advantage over them ? It may be some satisfaction to A Late Inspector" and Magister" to be told plainly that I did get a good report, and that I fully expect getting a good one this year; and yet I (lo my work better if I had re- ceived the programme last October. I have seen many persons just arriving in time for a train after a bursting run, but I never heard one of them prefer such a run to a steady walk. We shall have a run to catch the Diocesan Inspection train this year, and many of ns may be successful; but are we to blame in asking time enough to walk the dis- tance ? Is it it proof, wo object to such hard running, that we can neither walk nor run i I am, Sir, yours truly, A STUBBORN FACT. March 15th, 1865.

COLLEGIATE AND UNIVERSITY EDUCATION F,)R WALES. To the Editor of the Xorth Wales Chronicle. Sir,—As some of our friends have been partly led into supposing that the new charter recently obtained for St. David's College, Lampeter, will interfere with the movement which has long been on foot for establish- ing unsectariau Colleges and University privileges in Wales, will you permit me just to say that in so suppos- ing they labour under n great misapprehension. Lam- peter College is, and will continue to be, a purely Church of England College. We have from the begin- ning pyopased anil worked for a comprehensive unsecta- riau Institution for the whole of tho people of Wales, aud on a scale far surpassing what Lampeter College iu ts proposed extended state is likely to be, or, as a pro- per Church Seminary, possibly can be. We continue, and shall continue, to labour for the same object until it ii and the only effect the obtainiug of a charter for a College belonging to one ecclesiastical body to confer one degree in Arts will have upon our move- ment will be to add greatly to the reasons already exist- ing for obtaining for the wliolo of the Principality, in- cJwliug all section, the Church, a!1 IlIstitntioll worthy of the status of a University, whose charter will autho- rize the creation of the highest degrees in the different faculties, and degrees wiiich shall command respect among educated men. Our Committee deeply regret that the friends of Lam- peter College should seem so inadequately to estimate the true honour and influence of the Church in Wales, awl of the Wehh people g-enerally, as to be satisfied with seeking academic distinctions which Oxford, Cam- bridge, and Loudon are not likely to recognize, and to decline uniting with us iu ubtaiuiug a truly Catholic and powerful University which shall be a perpetual s-Mirce of benefit and honour to all ranks of the people. If they throw open the advantages of St David's College, such iMthevare.onperfecttye.ptatterm.stoaUdenomina- tions. ev.-u though still retaining the government, as they arü hÙllwl to do, in their own hands, they must, be allowed to be deserving of the gratitude of the public and our Committee will rej ice. at the result, as seeing in Some small degree their own cherished object accom- plished but if it is supposed that such a concession, with its necessary restrictions,will satisfy the Dissenters and the liberal Church laity of Wales, and induce them to send their sons to Lampeter, I fear the consequence will only prove a sad disappointment. Lampeter has yet to earn its character ad a hih school of learning. Besides, public enlightenment has already too hr ael- vanced to be longer satistied with narrow exclusi veness ill educational privileges. A country, three-fourths of whose population are Nonconformists, deserves a system of education which shall be unseetarian in government, and fair and impartial in the bestowment of distinc- tions. The friends of Lampeter College—we say it with re- (gret—have put it beyond their own power, for the pre- sent at least, to contend for such a system. By p,'del'. ring a charter granting the inferior degree only, without even tilt, of tIt il;UIlIJ ur ;1 óC Ullirel\it\?," with a government purely sectarian; instead of a complete charter, and a government in harmony with the spiritot modern tiiiiei and the ecclesiastical condition of Wales, thev have let slip one of the grandest opportunities the Established Church ever enjoyed of maintaining her dig- nity and her character for disinterestedness in promoting high-elasi education among the people. Ottr ii fli-inly 1).,i, Our movement is firmly based as a Catholic unseeta- rian movement, consulting the interests of no Church except as it consults the enlightenment of a whole peo- ple and if it should now, in the estimation of some, assume the appearance of being more nonconformist than heretofore, the responsibility must lie with the too zealous sectarianism of the Lampeter Com- mittee It is pleasing to liud that large-minded and educated lavinen of the Church sympathize more than ever iu the scheme which our Committee have from the outset ad- vocated, and which they now feel more bound and re solved than ever to see carried out to completion. A ti inferior degret: involves a greater indignity to the cause of education in our conn- try than no apojogy for a University at all, and consti- tutes what fairly admits of being considered an implied disrespect t. > the outstanding majority of the Welsh people, which they cannot be expected uncomplainingly to endure.

BRIEF HISTORICAL NOTICES IN REFERENCE I TO ANGLESEY. TENTH NOTICE. I A.D. 1170.- Prince Owen Gwynedd was no sooner laid in the grave than a great commotion took place as to who Rhollld sneceed him. His eldest son, Iorwerth Drwyndwn, was incajKioitated from ascending the throne by a personal blemish; his younger bi others every one began to aSliire to the dignity, and while disagreeing among themselves, Howel, who was of all the eldest, but base lorn, stepped in himself and took upon him the government. David ap Owen could not brook the idea that a bastard, whose mother was an Irishwoman, should ascend his father's throne. He therefore- marched against him. Howel was resolved to maintain his ground, but was slain, and David was proclaimed Prince of North Wales. A.D. 1173.—Maelgwyn, David's brother, had posses- sion of Anglesey; but David, Prince of North Walas, bringing an army over the Menai into Anglesey, routed him. allll he was forced to make his escape to Ireland. A.D. 1174.—Maelgwyn returned from Ireland, and landing in Anglesey, was discovered, and by his brother's orders committed to close prison. David having brought the Isle of Anglesey to its pristine state of subjection, and to prevent future annoyance, he banished all his brethren and cousins out of his territories. A. D. 11 i5.-Hoderjc, who had been bound with I fetters and east. into prison by his brother David, be- cause he had demanded the share of his father's lands, made his escape, and fleeing to Anglesey, was acknow- ledged by all the [>eople for their prince. This they did, for they conceived an utter abhorence of Prince David, who contrary to all rules of equity, had' disin- herited all his brethren. A.D. 1188.—Baldwin, Archbishop of Canterbury, ac- companied by Giraldus Cambrensis, Archdeacon of Bre- con, visited the Isle of Anglesey for the purpose of ob- taining contributions to carry on the crusade against the infidels. The Archbishop took his stand in an open place in the parish of LlalHliÛlio, called Cerrig-y- Borth. Alexander, Archdeacon of Bangor, interpreted to the people. Roderic, Prince of North Wales, was present. The inhabitants, in grateful remembrance, and to perpetuate the honour of that memorable day, called the stone where the Archdeacon stood, Carreg-yr-Arch- ddiacon (the Archdeacon's stone), and where Prince Roderic stood Maen Roderic (Roderic's stone), aud where his grace stood, which should have- been called Cadair-yr-Archesgob (Chair of the Archbishop), but his business being to beg their alms, they upon that ac- count called the place Kil-beg-le (the place of beg- ging.) A.D. 1193.—Roderic, availing himself of the aid of the King of Man, made an effort to get the Principality of North Wales, and to entirely eject his brother David. He entered Anglesey and reduced the whole island to his subjection; but before the year terminated the sons of his brother Conan came with an army against him, and forced him together with the King of Man to leave the island, they taking possession of it themselves. A.D. 1195—A new revolution happened in North Wales. Prince Davfd had held the sceptre of North Wales for twenty-four years; but it mnst now change hands. Llewelyn, the son of Iorwerth Drwyndwn, who was the eldest son of Owen Gwynedd, Prince of North Wales, marched against David with a powerful army, overcame him, and was declared the true heir to the Principality.

BAD AIR AND (SUN COTTON. At the request of the Royal Commission which ha,sl recently reported on the condition of the Cornish and other metalliferous mines, Dr. Angus Smith examined the quality of the air which the miners have to breathe, to the imparity of which is chiefly attributable the early break down in their strength. A healthy atmos- phere may be taken to be one with 20 9 per cent of oxygen, and 0-04 per cent. of carbonic acid gas. Late in the evening in the pit of London minor theatres as much as 0-252 and 0-320 per cent, of carbonic acid has been found; but the average of above 300 samples of air taken from these mines had 0 785. Two thirds of the samples presented an atmosphere exceedingly bad, and the worst parts of the mines had only about 18 69 per cent. of oxyge., and as much as 1-8 or more of car- bonic acid, in one instance 2-26 per ceut. In order to test the effects of such bad air Dr. Angus Smith caused to be constructed a small close chamber of lead, with windows sufficiently large that they might in any emergency he broken through for a way of escape. The explosion of gunpowder produce sulphide of potassium, the effect of which is probably like that of sulphide of hydrogen, but from its acting more slowly there is dis- tribute,l over a long period that death which might ensue instantly, and so, in chymical phrase, the effect is dissolved in health, and becomes disease. Gun cotton seems to promise to perform the work of blasting with less injurious influence upon the air. Mr. Hadow, F.C.S., in his chemical Report stdes :—"I have care fully examined the sample of Gun-cotton rope, and am able to report favourably upon it. Gun-cotton proves on analysis to be the highest and most powerful explosive of the series of substitution compounds formed by the action of nitric acid on cotton. The fact of its containing the maximum amount of peroxide of nitrogen was proved by submitting a portion, carefully diieil in vacuo, to the reducing action of an alcoholic solution of the double sulphide of potassium and hydrogen, when it ga ,-e an amount of cotton almost exactly corresponding to that which calculation requires (100 parts gave 54'SO, fal- culation requires 51.51 of cotton); and secondly, by treating another portion, likewise weighed after drying in vacuo with a mixture of the strongest nitric and sulphuric acids for three hours, when the presence of any of the lower substitution compounds would have been detected by an increase of weight after washing and dryin" (the next lower substitution compound gaiuing .5.3 1 And the next lower 11-3 per cent. by such treatment.) The sample, however, gained nothing in weight by the immersion; on the contrary, as experience hasproved to be the case wil h Gun-cotton that has reached the highest stage of stil stitution, a loss was sustained of 0'95 percent., which corresponds very closely with what experiment shews to be the loss sus. tained always through solution, br imme.sion of the strongest Gun-cotton for three luurs m the mixed acids. Your Gun-cotton possesses a high degree ot stability, and of all the samples I h.ive examined it i. the least likely to change daring pr donged scoring. I "The sample was found perfectly free from all un- combined acids,—it had in fact a very feeble alkaline reaction (due to silicate of soda), )tlly discoverable by testing with care. In the preceding Btatemmit aa to the amount of cotton obtainable from the Gun-ootton, and as to the weight after immersion in acids, the amount of ash and soluble matter was ascertained both before and after treatment, aud was deducted iu the calculations,1

ROYAL LETTERS MAJESTY'S r' <)I PATENT. THE "BRITISH ECONOMICAL" MANURE. 1J to U Cwt. per Acre, Of which (and more must not be used) has bean found equal to three cwt. of the liest PERUVIAN GUANO, Though costinsr but 15s. to 18s. per acre. Its price remaining the same notwithstanding the considerable increase in that of the latter, thus saving half the cost for Manure. Price L; 12 per ton (in quantities of 5 cwt. and upwards), casks included and the Carriage or FreigLiI allowed to any Railway or Wharf in; the United Kingdom. Agent;, C. PETERS, "Grugan Arms," Gstmeslon, near Carnarvon. PLAIN reasons for preferring the "British J_ Economical" before all other artificial Manures; ■ because- 1.—One and a half swt, of this has been found equal in productive power to three cwt. of the best Peruvian Guano, thus effecting: a saving of half and sustaining its claim to the title of "Economical." 2.-Being patented and prepared under the sole orders of one person only, its uniform cxcellence is thereby guaranteed. j 3. -It has bee& used several years in all parts of Eng- land, Scotland, Ireland, find Wales, as well ?.,trts of El),. 8 in Conti- nental countries, with marvellous sitocess 4.-This Manure is n chemical compound, made design- edly in a highly concentrated state-, is a powerful deodor. izer, and was discovered by one t;f the cleverest practical agricultural chemists in Europe. 5.—It is strongly recommeuded after severe testing by the unprecedented number of 3,000 testimonials, among 1 which are those of noblemen aikl landed proprietjrs, as well as farmers. G.-It may be used for top dressing, with great advantage, as it does not like other artificial and farm yard manures, lose its festilizing properties by evapora- 1 tion. 7.—It is adapted for all kinds of crops, soils and seasons (see reports), ault besides greatly increasing the produce, it has saved the potatoe by warding off the "disease," and the turnip by destroying the "fly." 8.—Its effects on the manure heap, when applied in a liquid state, are most advantageous. It decomposes lapidly all sorts of vegetable mattev, peat included, great- ly increasing the value of the farm yard manure, and the quantity to be obtained on the farm, and in fermentation it destroys the noxious seed. O.-Its effects on the poorest and lightest lauds, impoverished by successive heavy crops, and the absence of maaiure prove that it provides the plants with all the fertilizing salts needful to their growth and vigour. But it is needless to enlarge upon its qualities, as the above is vouched, for in about 3,000 reports from disin- terested parties, which are printed and can be had free, and the word of a buyer is always more worthy of belief than that of a dealer anxious to get rid of his good s Plain directions for its use .will be found in the book of testimonials, or will be supplied on application, and atten- tion is particularly requested to them.
