.\G 1: rCT r:rr 10- The meeting of the Koval Agricultural Socio!y of r ngland, so near our owo ,10"1", and the interest whiehnthat event lias created in this district, -may -Weil be cxt,cf,terl to cnuse the attention of our farm- ers to he directed to their own homestead'; and we may hop.) that it ni,,iy I)c the precursor of improve-i merits that will 11e the means of acquiring for the agriculture of Wales a higher character than it at pre- sent possesses. There is no ,lolll,f that this part of1 the P.-inci"ity ¡-, as t'le Mail; Llne Kxpress stated in the article which we quoted last week, more renowne(I itir its magnificent mountain scenery, its slate, copper, lead, iron, coal, and nnnoane.se works, it flannel, colto", and other manufactures, I han for its farming:" and that "Welsh husbandry is in a backward c,)?,lit, in fact, .t),(i of some of the best managed counties in England .>!) vears ago. But there certainly i, no i.ecessitv, that this should he the rase: if the arable land of Xorth Wales is not extensive enough to enable our farmers to supply corn enough for the supply of the popula- tion.there are means for making it more produc- tive than it is; ardt it is not merely tk" individual ain, but a national benefit, that such improvement should be carried to the fartLest poihle limits. There is no employment s,) generally useful as agriculture, providing, as it does, the means of slIh, sistence for the people and, properlv directed, it has a civilizing effect upon those who "lIrse it. If we see the peasantry of a country. rude and disorderly, it is because there is a want of proper attention and training; th", rudeness certainly does not flow from their employment. The seed cannot be sown, and traced in its progress from its deposit in the ground, till it becomes food Cor man, without directing the mind from Nature up to Nature's God; accord- ingly we find. that, in all countries, the practice of agriculture has been coeval with the first dawn of civilization and it ha. become the Imsis of all other art.. 1t i" says a pop"lar writer, the mo.! impor- tant science to which the human intellPet (un be directed, alike interesting all nations and all ages, and spreading an influence over the whole drc1e of our wants. comforts, pleasures, luxuries, art commerce," We cannot dispense with the practice of agiiculture; our existence (It-pend, upon it j and therefore we ought not to be surprised that agri- culture was in so much honour amongst the an- cients; for it ought rather to r-eem wonderful that it should Her cea«e to be so, and that the most neces- sary and most indispensable of ail prof"ssions s:¡rlldù have fallen into any contempt. Into such con- tempt, however, it did once fall in this conlltrv-and that at no very di-tunt period—that every means was Adopted to depress the tiller nf the oil. and exalt the manufacturer; and one of the leaders of the po- litical economisls-and a great favourite with the tie pie, declared, that it wotdd he a blessing if Eng- land did not grow a bla(le of corn, but was malle the manufac ftirt-i- of the workl.t That time has passed away. No (die now seeks to depreciate the value of agriculture; and for many years past, great efforts have been made to improve both its science and its practice. The npplici'ion of scicnce to p. g ricnlture was, at one period, greatly depreciated 1)?.the agriculturists themselves. They thought that tLe whole art or ariculture consisted in digging, in supplying the manure, common to their fathers and grandfathers, and in observing a cerhi'l rotation of crops; "II che- mical appIlcances they (lesl)ise(I ai)(I No doubt, manual labour, properly applied to the soil, is the great principle of success. But there arc very different sorts of soils, and all do not require the same treatment; and even the consequences of an unfavourable season, may he sometimes guarded against. There can he no doubt, therefore, that the "knowledge of geology, mineralogy, chemistry, ho, teny, vegetable physiology, and natural physiology," gives "the modern husbandman the command of important agents, elements, and principles, of which tho ancients had no idea." The husbandman is ena- bled, by these sciences, to ascertain the nature of his aoil, and what is most wanted to promote its fertility the grazier to .elèct tlil? l,e?t to improve heeds, ami to a.certain the best modes of treating his stock, whether in health or disease. The im, provement of farming implements has also donp I 9 lio much to advance agriculture; and even the power of steam has been brought to hear upon agriullural tabour,inil is now extensively employed in plough- ing, sowin, and thrashing com. The Welsh are celebrated i-atlir r as breeders of sheep than as husbandmen; the sheep-walks on our mountains are unequalled; and Welsh mutton" is considered a great dellcacy ,on :\Ietropo!it3<1 tables. We have not altogether the same advantages in cul- tivating land as in breeding an(1 grazin sheep; but wa think our farmers mhjht place themselves in a better position, and obtain a more liberal return from tho parent soil, were they to 11 trv." Let them unite science with labour the knowledge derived from theory with practical skill,—and we have not the lea3t ilouht but that they will soon find that the pro- duce of their land is increased, and their own posi- tion improved. And neither the farmer nor the public generally, should ever lose sight of the immense importance of agriculture. It is tlie indispensable art)—for, as the celebrated 1)¡-, Johnson observes— Though mines of gold un,1 silver should be exhausted, ami the specie made of them lost,-though diamond s and pearls should remain concealed in UJI bowel8 of the rth, and the womb of the sea.—though con1!nerc with strangers be prohibited, — though qll arts, which have no other object lll'111 splendour ¡tll,1 embellishment, should be abolished, — yet the fertility of the earth tone would atfoid an abundant supply for the occasions of an iodustrious people, by furnishing subsistence for them IInd.whi!u wr was necessary and incvitab1e--for "8uch anuies as Sh0Uld be mustered in their \1efencp:' D,.

EVENTS AND Topics OF THE WEEK. The arrangements for her Majesty's journey to Cherbourg have been announced. TiltJ royal squadron will leave England on the .1th of August; and the first interview between the ronit and impe- rial personages, will take place at sea. All the a", rangements are anticipated a couple of davs, to ac- commodate our Sovereign, who will pursue her route to Prussia when she leaves Cherbourg. She wished her viit to tUe Princess Frederick illiam, to be considered is strictly private,—merely as tha ofa mother to her Jaugh1er; it is doubtful, howt ever, whether this arrangement can he carried out- The English alliance is very poplllar with the aian people; the Princess is all favourite with them and if they know ti'.at her mother is travelling amongst them, it will be difficult we think, to prevent a popular demonstration. 11,: Earl of Derby, Lord Malmesbury, and Mr. D^ israeli, will fiC, 'iieil b oul- ati d olle o" the company her Majesty to CiH>lbourg; and one 0, the trio will proceed to Prussia,—unless it should he thought moie eligible that the Home Secretary oltioul(I accompany her there. The Duke of Malah- koil will also mike one of the Cherbourg party.-—A steamer is als0 fitting-out to take over such mem- bers of the House of Comm0n, as wish to accompany the Queen. The Oriental and Peninsula S:cam S'acket Company have placed one of their finest vessels at the disposal of the committee, without ■iiarge. The Indian bill has passed the Lords with few alterations; ministers have obtained all their sup- plies, and the appropriation hill is introduced. The only Government measures of interest and impor- tance before the legislature now, are, the Bill for the Purification of the Thames, and two connected with the militia, one for embodying certain regiments, the second for enabling the Queen to accent the ser- vices of the mih'ie out of tile country. The bill re- lating to the I homes, was introduced by lfr. Dis- raeli, on Friday evening; and whilst it proposes to throw the entire expense upon the metropolis,—it I gnes the complete control of the measures to the Metropolitan Board. This is right. London ought to pay and she ought to effect the improvement in her own way —provided only that she does ii, carry the nuisance away from herself to others. As con- stituted under the bill of Sir Benjamin Hall, the Metropolitan Beard had no absolute power,—for the Chief C'ommiss.oner could put a ,eto upon all their ,,heme'; and they had no power to raise money, exept for cunent purposes. Both these anomalies mill be remond, by the hill now before the I"gisb- turo, which is j,?,?t tire c.,?,,trv and fair as regards the e!Opob.1 11ere does not appear to be anything lively to prevent the prorogation of the House on the 3,Lt inst or the 2nd ot ALI??St- The I usual white-bait dinner given I,v ¡"ts:ers to the principal officials, will take place on Saturday, nnt at the Trafalar," Crecnwich, which appears' to be the Whig house; but at Qliatn"11ailis--the 11 i In December last, a,spleet committee of the House of Commons was rppointed to inquire irto the ope- ration of the Hank Acts of the United Kingdom [Sir Hobert Peel's Act of 18-1-1; and the Scotch and Irish Acts of 1815]; and to investigate the causes of the commercial distress of the last autumn. This committee, after a long and careftil examination, have agreed to their Report, which was published on Tuesday; or rather 11 out of the 20 members of whom the Committee consisted, have sanctioned a document, drawn up by Mr. Cardwell. Only 13 were present when it was accepted and AIr. Cayley all,, Mr. Spooner dissented. The Times' city cor- respondent, on Wednesday, claimed the Report as a triumph for those monetary principles, which lie atl- vocntes- It can scarcely, however, he looked upon in that light for, though the 11 members attribute the commercial crisis very justly, to -1 excessive specu- lation and abuse of credit and expreqs their satis- faction atthe way in which the Bark of England ex- tended assistance during the pressure, and recom- menll the present change in the law,—yet they only sneak of the temporary continuance of ihe Bank Charter Act, subject as it is to be lenealed, on the month 's nolice being given. Ihe Heport contains k2 paragraphs, in which the rise and progress of the panic is traced. The Hudson's lby Company's position, and the riht of that eompany to the immense di-trict which 1 passes under the name of their territories in Korth AVcst America, were discussed in the House of Com- ttions, oil Tuesday evening. That Company holds this territory—-larger than Europe—undera Charter grant,,¡! by Charles II, That charter, however, ex- pressly stipulated, that those to whom it was granted, should not II infringe upon the property of any other I Christian King or Prince and at the time it was granted, a large portion of I hat territory was in the occupation of France, and only became English pro- perty by the treaty of Utrecht. The discussion on Tuesday was opened by Mr. Roebuck, who thinks that the legal validity of the exclusive rights claimed by the Company, should be immediately tested ur a court of law. The Government is not disposed, just yet, to take that step; because there is an opinion of the law officers of the late Government on record, that it would not be becoming on the part of the Crown to raise the question of the validity of the charter. But the who] question will he submitted to the present legal advisers of her Majesty. If they think the charter is irn/ilid, the Company will be put upon its defence if otherwise, they will receive eomppnatioll--fl)r it is not desirable, but the con- trary, said the Secretary of the colonies on Tuesday evening, that" sueh a vast segment of the earth should become merely a desert bunting ground for savages and wild animals." The rule that will be Government finds itself au- thorised to take, or will be compelled to buy—is, to leave the tracts incapable of colonization in the hands of the Cninpany and to withdraw those which can be colonized: acting throughout, if possible, with the sympathy and concurrence of Canatb This is a prudent and a just course; and the Government will deserve praise for adopting it, The intelligence from Constantinople informs us, that Sir Henry Lytton nulwer had arrived at the English embassy at Therapia, on the 7th July, and had been most eordhl:y welcomed hy the nhpr am- bassadors, the French minister taking the lead.- His Ex,elle??ei, therefore, was, no doubt atisfierJ, that jti?tice had been, or would be, done in the case ofour consul at Belgrade. With respect to Jeddali, the Turkish Government had sent 2001) troops, under r, General, with the power of life and death; and the ringleadrs in the massacre are to be punished by martial law. The Moniteur' of Friday an- nounces, that England and France are taking mea- sures to obtain striking and prompt satisfactioll "such as the honour of their flags, and the enormity of the crime of which their rgents have been the victims, demands." In the mean time, the Pays' informs us, that information has been received of serious religious dissensions at Mecca. They broke out during the religious fetes of the season and the fanatical portion of the inhabitants of the Bedjaz, under the leadership of an Arab named Beck-ah- llafer, are reported to have formed themselves into an independent sect, called True Believers, who refuse to recognise the religious supremacy of the Sultan. In fact, it appears that ihere is throughout the entire range of M:>hammedism—wdiether in Turkey, Per,ia. "'or India-a spirit of dissatisfaction prevailing, ha\in" its basis on the enmity entertained by 11?,? f., f Mohammed to the infidel," a, lie terms the Christian, which may yet have most serious results. The insurrections in Bosnit\ and Candia appear to have had their origin in this spirit. The Turkish authoritie and people have been en- raged at the concessions made hy the Hatti-Scheriff of the Sultan. The refusal cf the provincial pashas to carry out his orders, has certainly been the main cause of the ,li,turhanees in vllriou parts of his do- minions; and, probably, his liberality, his wish to make no distinction between his wbjects-has led to the rejection, among the fanatics alluded to, of his supremacy- The Turkish Government, however, ap- pears resolved to keep its faith with the Christians; and it is not improbable but the aid of Christians may be requisite to protect the Sultan against his own subjects, numbers of whom are described as being in oppn rebellion in Asia. A letter from Madrid, dated the 13th inst., states that" the Government of Spain has addressed to the Enlish cabinet, ll11 energetic remonstrance on the subject of the insults offered to Spain in the Eng- lish Parliament." Those insults were, the pointing out the repeated and systematic violations of the treaty fol' the abolition of the slave trade--the ad- hesion of Spain to that treaty having been purchased by the payment of a largo sutn of English money.— Lord Malmesbury might speak plainly, but he also spoke truly; and, if the Spanish Government acts honestly, it will have no need to fear the truth. Thor;, is very little news from any other part of the e'>ntinent-Ihat from France being chiefly occu- pied with the preparations making at Cherbourg, to receive the Queen, and inaugurate the port. There has hcen a quarrel for some time going on between the Government of Denmark, and the Germanic Diet, relative to the affairs of the duchies of Hol- stein and Lanenberg, -whose" pnn!ei.ies are said to have been invaùe7¡' b, the Danish King. As it p'o- ceeds, it appears to get more involved; and this week we find the Danish Government endeavouring to persuade the Diet, that it ouht to be 1n European, and not a purely Germanic question. It is not pro- bable they will he snccessful. The intelligence from the United States is only remarkable for some ill-natured and ridiculous re- marks of several New York papers, on the second failure of the attempt to lay the Atlantic telegraph, which they spitefully attribllte entirely to the mis- conduct on board the Agamemnon. That frigate and the Xia::1ra sailed again oil Sunday to make a third experiment in laying the cable.

Mr. David Williams proposed, and Mr. David Jones seconded, that no person be allowed to sell fish about the Clock Tower, and unless notice given to the por- ties would answer the purpose, the police should in. terfere, It was also proposed and seconded, that the railing, lately set up on the Castle, be extended to the nUlh, a certain distance, tixed upon by the Commis- sioner, and that tlie same contractor d) the woi ks at th same, rate as he did the other. Seveial bills were produced, examined, and oidered to be paid. The meeting then adjourned. HOLYHEAU v, D¡;AUt.\H1S.-It is only a few weeks .ine these clubs were formed. The Holyhead club was originated by Messrs. Cunna", Nionti, Henry Tully, who trke a great interest in its welfare. The Beaumaris club, we believe, owes its existence to 1r. Smith, the active an,1 popular collector of H.M.'s Customs, at Heaumarin. Sir Richard Bulkeley, Bart., M.P., kindly allowed the Beaumaris gentlemen to play in bis beau- iful pfitk. On Wedn"«div, a match between Holy- head and Beaumaris, k ok pla :e there. The day was most favourable. The (101) he.¡ gentlemen left by an early train, and were diiven from Llangèfni sb1ioll to Beau. maris, by Mr. Henry Humphreys, Menai Bridge, in a coach :\1I,I,four, in great style and their appearance ulong th, road, caused srne UlIlHual excitement to the quiet inhabitants. A tent was erected ill the park for the acc0rnmo(htion of the crickpters and ,isitor8. Re- freshments were provided by Nit- Parsons, the pro- prietor of the Liverpool Arms, aud dinner took place in the evening, at his hOUlW, which ditl great credit to Mrs. Parsons for culinary skill. Cspt. Emerson pre- sided at one table, and Mr. Cunnah at the other. The usual loyal toasts were drunk, after which, the Holyhead and Beaumaris clubs were separately proposed, and ably responded to by Messrs. Cunnah an,1 S nitti. Amongst thr toasts proposed, were "Sir Richard Bulkeley, Bait., M.P., and his family," Of Hon. W. 0. Stanley, '1.1' "the Hev.

THE DEAN OF UANGOK. — On Sunday morning last the Very R*v. the Dean of Bans-or preached a?t St. Michael's Church Chester, from John I, 47," Behold an Israelite indeed in whom there is no guile." The "geel Dean is blind; and it was a teally touching and inter- esting occasion to hear him recite the whole of the Com- munion Service before the sermon ( with the exception .ftl,? ri)i,tl?, ?l,i?h was read by the Rev. J. F. Hewson, the Uectn.),and then to 1irrn to that. I oIIJ man eln- quent" discoursing, for neatly an hour, on 'he necessity and advantage of truth-fulness anel godly sincerity in (he Christian character. It was a remarkable illustration of the powers of minrI itid memot-i and could not fail to produce a deep impression. TIK; application of the subject to the special object which the venerable Dean had kindly undertaken to commenll to the liberality of the congregition-a collection in support of the choir — was very clever and ingenious and gave occasion for some apposite remarks on the effect ,o,f good music In thl] devotional services of the church. The sum of Us. was contributed. — Chester HOLYHEAD.—The advocates of the Maine Law have had several dap agitation of their scheme at Holyhead. We have not heard of the result. On Tuesday evening, in Hyffrydlle chapel, the Rev. J. Pritchard, Llangollen] and the Hev. G. II ughe" Edeyrn, delivered discourses to a respectable congregation. Wednesday was the grand day, and two excursion trains, numbering tn.. tjetlier 42 C:Hriallpg, "rc (Uh \.Iro\}g\t visitors from Wrexham and the towns adjacent to the Chester and Holyhead line, to onr town. The place had quite a holiday appearance. Everybody looked happy, and all were well dressed. The iieid near to the Brilish, School, in which Mr, Cooke the other day erected his tents, and performed for the amusement of the public, was the place of meeting for the Maine Law expoun- ders and their audience-. In the morning, orations wpre given by the Rev. O. Jones \Ianche.ter. Rev. E. Lloyd, London, and Rev. n. Thomas, Bangor; in the afternoon, by the Hev. U. Hughes, Edeyrn; Rev. O. Jones, Manchester, and Rev. J. Pritchard, Llangollen; and in the evening, by the Rot. O. Jones, Mr. Sargent, of Manchester, (in English.) and Rev. R. Thomas, of Bangor. Several of the speakers were men of known: ability, and they Were on thi, occasi.ui unmually elo- quent. All the pieasurc-seekcrs went to their several homes in the evening delighted with the day's perfor- mance. Th day was beautiful so was the singing. RHYL.—The eighteenth anniversary of the Priuce Llewelyn Court, No. 1242, of the ancient Order of Fo- resters. was celebrated at Rhyl, oil Monday, rh" IRih inst. At 10 o'clock the members met together at the club-room, and at 11 they formed a procession, headed by a bra's band from Liverpool, and proceeded through a part of the town, to the house of the Rev. Hugh Mor- gan, who, with Dr. Price Roberts walked before them to Church, where they were most impressive!} addressed by the Rev. Mr. Jones, of Brynford, from John xiii. 34. Service being over, they re-formed, and paraded the principal streets. At 2 they returned, and sat down to a sumptuous repast, prepared for them by Nlr. an 1 Mrs. Roberts, in a large tellt, in front of the New Inn. R. LI. Williams, Esq., took the chair, supported by the Rev. Hugh Morgan, Wm. Hushes Esq., T. Winston, Esq., and—Morgan, Esq., Golden Grove. After the cloth was removed, the Chairman gave .r The Queen," which was diunk with three times three. The next toast was, The Piince Consort, the Prince of Wales, and the rest of the Royal Family," Toast and senti- ment followed each other in quick succession, and the members separated after spending a very social evening. We must not omit to mention the kind and friendly spirit which was e\inccd by many of the Odd-Fellows in dining with the Foresters on the ahove ocCaSiOl1,.an{l hope that the latter may ha\'e the pleasure, at some fu- ture period, of returning the compliment. LIFE-BOAT STATISTICS—It appears that from some valuable returns made to the Royal National Life-boat Institution, by the officers of the Coast Guard Service and by some Agents to Lloyds, there are «ixty*four additipnal life-boats considered to be required on the coasts of the British Isles. The proposed new life-boat stations are as follows: England — St ait hs, Yorkshire; ?'et)sandBtaekney,Xo.fo!k;()rfo..)ness,SuHo)k? Pucaster Cove and Brook, Isle of Wight Studland Buy and Cnapman's, Poole, Dorset; Exmoutb, Hope Cove, Bantham, and Bigbury Bay, Devon; Fowev, Falmouth, St. Ives, New Quay, Cornwall Port Talbot, Penarth or Towan, Portland, Milford, Porthdinllaen, Wales; Fleetwood, Lancashire; Maryport and Silloth, CnmherlanJ and Douglas, hie of Man. Scotland — Haddingtonshire and Berwickshire, two life-boats • Blie, Fife Donmouth and Newburgh, Aberdeen • Lossiemouth, Elgin Banff; Sylester and Dunbrath Caithness; South RouaUNha, Orknejs; Esdale, Slate Island Oban, Argyle; Scrabster Harbour; Campbel- town and Dromore, Mull of Galloway Tumberry, Ayr, and Tro >n. Irel ind — Dundrum Bay North, Crandfield Point, County Down Clogher Head or Dundalk, County Louth; Carnsore and Morris Castle, Countv Wexford; Duumore, Tramore and Duugavvau Biv, County Waterford Ballinskillegs Bay or Derrynane j Kenmue River, KnightsUmu nd Dingle, County K^rry Achil Beg, Ivillala and Bclmullet, County Mayo Rutland and Cam, County Donegal Portrush anti I Carrickfeigns, County Antrim. Th.' average cost of a omph'te liie-bnat establishment, such as that provided by the National Life-boat amount includes the Cqt of life-boat, life-belts and gear, transporting carriage, and a substantial house for tl.eir reception. It will thus be seen Ihat a considerable sum will be required from the public to make the life- b ,al system practically complete on our coat. The Institution has alieady severity life-boats in connection with it. To maintain these boats in a stale of thorough efficiency, requires a luge permanent annual outlay, Last year the iife-boa<s of the Society and those of local bodie rescued 1599 persons from shipwrecks on our coash; and during the last three years 1,022 person* were, by the same invaluable means, saved from a watery grave. On the other hand, it is to add, that during the same short period, 1,522 pour creatures peiished on our coasts from these sad disasters. Ii is believed that a considerable proportion, probably oue-lnlf, of this Itirge number, might have been pre- served to their families and their country if additional life-boats were on the coast. We therefore appeal with confidence to the public on behalf of the National Lif*. buat Institution, to enable it to cuiry out U-1 truly i philanthropic and nutiomd objects.

LLANDUPNO W ATE It AND GAS COMPANY, In 1850, we briefly noticed the proceedings of the first movement of this undertaking. and we now have the pleasure of recording the j roceedings of the first General Meeting ofthe Company, which is formed under the limited liability act. The meeting was an- uounced by circular, and was heldat the Hoard Room of the Commissioneis, in Church Walks, Llandudno, on Tuesday last. At the appointed hour (twelve o tclock), W r Chapman. Esq., Chairman of the Board of Directors, took the Chair, The Secretary read the circular calling the meet- ing, after which I The C bail:man brieHycon?rat?atedtheShat'ehoid- ers upon thu, their first General Meeting, and hoped that the Report of the proceeding of the Directors, during the progress and present state of the works, as well as the accounts, would be satisfactory to ,all lIe then called upon the Secretary to read the Re- port of the Directors, which was as follows — In accordance with the Resolution of the promo- tersot the Llandudno Water and Gas Company, Linnt- ed, on the 2",th Feb., 1857, your Directors have given every possible attention 4 to the carrying out of the trust reposed in them; and having made all the pre- liminary arrangements, they proceeded with the ne- cessary requirements of the Registration of the Company, and they have the satisfaction of stating, that the Certificate of Incorporation, under the Joint Stock Company's Act, of li^rjG-7,awas received, com- pleted, on the 24th July, IS57. Your Directors hewing secured the services of the professional gentlemen named in the prospectus, proceeded to carry out the respective works of the I Company. I Contracts were entered into with Messrs Easter and Amos, Engineers, of London. to constnrct the whole of the Water Works, and for the main pipes of the Gas Worb and with Mr. Hugh Jones, builder and contractor, of Bangor, for the erection and con, struction of the buildings and tanks of the Gas j Works; and with Mr, W. Richardson, engineer, of Dudley, for the requisite machinery, "ppa1ltn", gas- holder, and services required by the Gas Works. The who]e of which contracts and works, have been executed under the direction of and certified by the respective Engineers of each work, "Your Directors have the satisfaction of stating that the Water Works were put into operation, on the 1st day of May, and the Gas Works on the 29th M;iy last. The Works of the Company are now in full ope- ration, and the supply both of water and gas are of a highly satisfactory quality, and the demand gradually increasing. The number of water customers on the I -30th June last, being 7o. and the number of cus- tOIlIrs to (he same date, Ill. So short a time has elapsed since the commence- ment of the operation of the Works, no amount of annual rental can be determined on at this meeting, but as the prospects of both Works are exeeeding-ly favourable, there is little doubt of their successful developement, by the next annual meeting of the pro- prietors. Under the LSth clause of the articles of Associa- tion, no change is contemplated in the present Di- rectory, who will still continue to conduct the Com- pany's affairs, they trust, to a sueeessful issne. "The office of Auditor will become vacant under the 02nd clause of the articles of Association, which the proprietors will have to fid at this meeting. "A statement of the lteeeipts and Payments of the Directors since the formation of the Company to the 30tli June, will be laid before you, together with the A nditor's Heport-from which statement you will perceive that s, veral of the Directors have made 'themsd\'(' personally ¡iable to the Company's Bankers for a cOIHiderablp advance of n I"y, which has enahled your Directors to establish and complete the Company's works, and to commence operations at an earlier perinll than the gradual payments of calls would have allowed. In conclusion, your Directors have much plea- sure in congratulating the Shareholders upon the present position of the works, which they believe to be good and substantial, and which they hope i to eventually prove not only of a highly remunerative character to the Shareholder", but also useful and beneficial to the town."

Mr. ILuldock, of St. Helen's, moved, Mr. Varley seconded, and it was resolved that the report now read be approved and adopted, and entered on the minutes, and that the same be printed, and a copy sent to paeh shareholder, :\1". Middleton rose to move a vote of thanks to the Directors for their great attention to the interest of the Company from its commencement, and that R50 be given to them as some remuneration for their nast services fa ho divided amount them according to the number of their attendances. This was seconded by Mr. Walcott, and carried, unanimously. The Chairman next called upon the Secretary to lay before the meeting the accounts, with the balance sheet, shewing the outlay on capital, the receipts from citils-tlie assets and liabilities of the Company up to the 30th of J nile. To these accounts, the re, port of the auditor, C. S. Lemon, Esq., of Liverpool, was appended as follows, as well as that of George Millard, Esq, of Liverpool, who had been engaged by the Directors to open a set of books for the com- pany:- 41 I have examined this Balance Sheet, compared the same with the books and vouchers, and I hereby report that, in my opinion, the above is a full and fair Balance Sheet, and correctly exhibits a true and correct view of the Company's affairs and all infor- mation required by me has been readily and satisfac- torily furnished to me by the Direetois. 4* Dated this Hub day of July. 185s. (Signed) "C. S. LEMON, Auditor." I have opened the Books of the above Company, and have examined the Vouchers thereunto bdong- jn; and I do consider that the accounts are iu every respect correct. (Signed) "GEO. MILLARD" Mr. James Willi .ms proposed that the accounts bp approved and passed and also th »t the thanks of the Shareholders be given to Mr. Lemon for the able manner in which he has performed the duties of auditor. Mr. Middleton having seconded the motion, it was carried unanimously. The Meeting now proceeded to the election of an. ditor for next year, when Mr. Jas. Williams rose and said that Mr. Lemon having filled the oliice so ably and satisfactorily on the present occasion, ho pro- posed that lie should be re-elected, which was se- conded by Mr. Walcott, and carried. The Chairman called attention to the articles of association, which provided that the remuneration to auditors should be fixed by and at general meetings, and the election now being over, then was the propn time for such remuneration to be settled. Mr. Haddock thought that, judging from other similar undertakings, the sum of E5 is. per annum might be a fair sum, and he would beg to propose that that should be the amount. Mr. T. A, Jones, coinciding with Ir. Haddock, seconded the proposition, which was unanimously passed. Here a general conversation took place as to the management of the Works, which the Mee'ing! thought best to leave entirely in the hands of the Directors. Mr. W. u. Reece rose to move that all acts, or- ders. and proceedings of the Directors acting under and by their authority, from the formation of the Company to the present time, he allowed and passed. Mr. Haddock begged to second the resolution, which was carried. The Chair having been vacated, and taken bv the Rev. W. Brewster, M.A., Mr. Ja.-nes Williams said that he rose with great pleasure to move that the best thanks of the meeting arc due, and are hereby given, to Mr. Chapman, for his able and impartial conduct ia the Chair. Mr. Varley said that it gave him equal pleasure to second Mr. Williams's proposition, which was put by the Rev. Mr. Brewster to the meeting, and carried un animoussly. Mr Chapman having thanked the Shareholders for the compliments they ha,1 paid him, the meeting broke liP,

I was unwilling to believe that th* charge originated with J ou, but from jour 8ikuce I cannot help believing.

It is true that I advertised the Grammar in the 'Haul'a* being under your superintendence: I did this at your request—"for" (these were our winds) <4 it will sell belter." It is true that I road to you about 211 pages of tlv work in M.S., but 11Olhin wa, added but that poition of the eijht i section, which bar your name.

I deny, positively and solemnly, having ever hoiroived any rules from you, at) I I will ask jou to point one smgte rule or pamgrojJt (hceidet the portion referie,l io) to which you lay chiini t This certainly I ought to do seeing that you call the work your Grammar, and grant permission to Ab Iihel to make whatever use he pleases of it. I'my, Venerable Sir, establish your claim to the work —show one rule which belung to you-or confess that you have been guilty of spreading a false rumour about your old pupil. The Grammar cost me three years of hard study one year at Llandoveiy and two at liala and 1 there- fore think it very hard to be abused and insulted by Ab Ithel. But it is to me much more painful and dis- tressing to think that the Venerable Archdeacon of Cardigan should, in his old age, be guilty of spreading a vile repoit, and of a-locating to him-.1I the authorship of a woik, which belongs to Thomas Rowland as fairly an(i as justly as any work can be said to belong to its author. Vou evidently think the bopk a clever production, otherwise you would not have coveted the authorship, This speaks well of a Grammar, and some of my ftiends. who know the exact history of the work, look upon t.us circumstance as a high compliment to me. Now, nlany a head-master of a school would speak w. 11 of a pupil fer hating produced a. work woiihy ot his tencher. But not so the head-master of the Llandover'y Educa- tional Institution he prefers claiming the work as his own, and blackening the reputation of his old pupil. But Ins 0111 pupil Will not have his reputation blackened is bold enough to defend himself— and to defy the author of the calumnious charge to make true tho universal tumour." I have written the above on the supposition that the charge of plagiarism, brought against me, is to be traced to jou. If I am mistaken, no one will he to hear, and more ready to apologize than I. But if the supposition is true, 1 feel satistieil that! have not ex- plesseù myself too strongly.
