They afterwards assembled in the playground, where they sang several rounds, songs, &c. The days' proceedings were terminated by the children singing the Nations] Anthem. NAVTOLYN.—On Friday last, the Lord Bishop of St. Ariph visited this remote and sequestered spot for the purp se of opening and inagurating the National Schools just completed. The ground and a great portion of the funds had been given by the late Wm. Owen, Esq., of I'anygyrt. Amongst many of the useful pro- jfCts c utied out by the deceased geltlleman for the be- r.vtit of the people of Nantglyn, the buililing and foun- dation of these schools had been to him a matter of the diepest interest. Many of the old friends of Mr, Owen, met at his widow's hou3e, Tatiygyrt, where they were hospitably entertained. From thence they proceeded to the Kect ry, where a procession was formed, headed by the 1, rd Kishop of the Diocese; a large number of the clergy and gentry of the neighbourhood were in attend- ance. The procession, preceded by the Nantglyn choir, re"hl'l! the Schools about 3 p.m. and the Lord Bishop took the cbair. On his right were the Rector, the Revs. I. W. Edwards, Jesse Smart, T. C. W. Edwards on the left were a bevy of beautiful ladies. His Lordship open- ed me meeting with appropriate remarks, paying a high IIIbule t" the late Mr. Owen. Prizes had been offered for the best essays upon education, and other kindred Eubj-cts. The successful competitors were called for, ami "el"11 prizes presented to them by the Bishop, with apposite comments. One of the most beautiful of these l.tvui y efforts was an elegy on the late Mr. Owen, After this, several of the ladies were pleased to sing and play ui the niello and harmonium. Mans speeches were made, bul few told eo effectively as one delivered by the IU v. Vicar, W. Hicks Owen, who gave a brief sketch of Ille worthies of Nantglyn, and forcibly drew the atten- tion of the company to Dr Samuel Rowlands, who had accompanied Capt. Cooke, the celebrated navigator, on Lis voyage of discovery Dr. W. O. l'ughe, as having, comprehensive dictionary, conferred a great boon upon literature, &c., and thereby enabling thei Saxon brethren and sisterhood to acquire the noblest language which God had bestowed upon a people. He spoke also in the highest terms of the honour and integrity of the lair Mr Aneurin Owen, who, in troublous times, and wli-ti pa, ty strife was at ilo heignt, was selected by the Government as Tithe Commissioner, and whe. succeed- tel b) his ability and demeanour.in winning the appro- boi'Iii of those who had been most opposed to him. The rev. gentleman then paid a growing tribute to the hi^ti vinues and unwearied endeavour. of the late ge- aerou-bearied Wm. Owen, the grand-son and son ot Ihe two Ltst named woithies-describing the funeral in Erui.liic and pathetic strains. He had discour ed with lu4ll) of the hundreds of mourners who followed his la- to their last ii, had Witnessed the large tears rolling down the furroweil cite, k, of the stout-hearted mountaineers, and as he •luJied their marked countenances, he felt a strong con- 'H't.on ot the truth of the sac ed saying, That when the lighteous man passeth away, though dead, he yet •PeiiUth."

I NORTH WALES SUMMER ASSIZES. MERIONETHSHIRE. The learned judge on Circuit,Sir A. J. E. Cockburn, Bart., arrived at the Court-house, Dolgelley, on Fri- day, the 22nd ult. escorted by H. J. Revely, Esq., High-Sheriff, and the usual attendance of javelin men, &• c. The Commission was read by H. Crompton, Esq., the Clerk of Assize, after which his lordship went to the Parish Church, where the service was read by the Ven. Archdeacon White, and the assize sermon preached by the Rev. Reveley, a cousin of the sheriff. The Court opened at ten o'clock on Saturday morn- in for the dispatch of business, when the following gentlemen were sworn on the GRAND JURY, C. T. Tottenham,, Esq., Berwyn C. F. Thurston, Esq., Talgarth; H. Richardson, Esq., Aberhirnant; W. J. Richards, Esq., Aberhirnant; L. Owen Ed- wards, Esq., Dolgelley; G. P. Lloyd, Esq., Bala; R W. Hackley, Esq., Llwyn L. Williams, Esq., Vron- wnion; G. B. Glegg, Esq, Brynaber; F. Hallowes, Coed John Jones, Esq.. Fa hddeilog; W. P. Jones, Esq., Bodwrin L Williams, Esq., Brvntirion W. Williams, Esq., Dolgelley; F. O. Davies, Esq., Bar- mouth; J. Eo Pai-ry, Esq., Glyn, W. Jones, Esq., Bryntegid. His Lordship, in his charge, referred to the fact that at his previous visit to the county there was no criminal charge to be tried, and that on the present occasion only one was to come on-a fact highly creditable to the county. The case to be investigated by them present- ed no unusual feature, and therefore called for no ob- servation from him he should therefore at once dis- charge them to their duties. Rowland Griffith and Morris Rowland were indicted for stealing two sheep, the property of Mr. John P,iestl,y. Mr. Mclntyre prosecuted and Mr. M. Lloyd de. fended. From the statement of the learned counsel, and the testimony of the witnesses, it appears that the prosecutor's shepherd missed two sheep from his master's flock about the 4th of June last. About the 14th. July he heard that they were on the farm of the prisoner, close by. Went there, and identified them by their faces and marks, although the latter were altered. He accused them of stealing the sheep, when they asserted at Hrsttaattheyweretnor own, out ultimately admitted they had s'rayed there, and that they had sheared them and altered the marks, and wanted him to take them away quietly, and they would pay his rent lot- him. He declined doing so, and give information to the police. On the police going up, they failed in discovering more than one of them, This was corroborated by several witnesses, and the y ff)unti both prisoners guilty. The Judge, in sentencing them, hopcd they had only yielded to the temptation of keeping the sheep when they had strayed, and not absolutely stealing them; and therefore would only give them nine mouths' im- prisonment and hard labour. A si!tiilar charge was then preferred against them, as regir is four other sheep, but no evidence was offered on it. The court then proceeded to try the special jury case of SCOTT V. EDWARDS AND ANOTHER. The following were on the special jury W. H. Household, Esq Vanuer; D. M. Lloyd, Esq., Bala; W. Williams, Esq., Ivy House; L. Williams, Esq., Vronwnion; T. Green, Esq., Ynysfaig; R. White, Esq., Rhydyglaves L. II. Thomas, Esq CaerlFynon W. Kerr, Esq., Aherartro; John Jones, Esq., Ynys- fawr; W. II. Blackburn, Esq., Brynmawr; J. C. Roberts, Esq., merchant, Dolgelley; W. B. Glegg, Esq" Brvnaber. Mr. Mclmyre and Mr. Morgan Lloyd appeared for the plaintiff, and Messrs. Welsby and Coxon for the defendant. The pleadings were voluminous, and it appeared from them that the defendants' landlord was bound to keep a certuin main drain in repair, but had neglected to do so, whereby the drains from the plaintiff's land running into it had become choked and useless. This the defendants denied. Mr. Mclntyre having addressed the jury, a long con- vers,tion took place between the bench, and the bar, when it was ultimately determiued that a jnror should he withdrawn, and the dispute be referred to a compe- tent engineer. Upon this being announced, Mr. Household, as fore- man to the jury, expressed the willingness of the jury to parties making an amicable arrangement of their dispute, but he hoped it would not prevent them having thcirtlln.each. His Lordship, amid considerable laughter, said they certainly must, be paid. This ended the business of the assizes. DENBIGHSHIRE. I. 'I The Lurd Chiet Justice was receivea on nis entry into Ruthin, on Friday afternoon, by the High Sheriff of the county, Thomas Lloyd Fitzhugh, Esq accom- panied by his chaplain, the Rev. F. Green,of Finchley, and attended by tho usual ocort ot javelin men. The commission was duly opened at the Court-house, and as there was no celebration of Divine Service, owing to the repairs at present in progress at the parish church, the following gentlemen were at once sworn on THE GRAND JURY Herbert Watkin Williams Wynne, Esq., foreman; Townshend Mainwaring, Esq.; Thomas Hughes, Esq.; Hugh Robert Hughes, Esq. Simon Yorke, Esq. T. Owen, Esq; Edmund Peel, Esq., Thomas Clayton, Esq, i Brownlow Wynne Wynne, Esq.; Rowland Jones Venables, Esq.; Paul Griffith Panton, Esq.; James Ilassall Foulkes, Esq. Richard Miles Wynne, Esq John Jesse, Esq.; Charles James Tottenham, Esq. Pierce Wynne York, Esq.; Thos., Downward, Esq.; Gabriel Roberts, Esq. James Maurice, Esq Samuel Edwardes, Esq., and John Burtor, Esq. His Lordship, after a brief allusion to the satisfac- tory character of the calendar, dismissed the Grand Jury to their duties. The following cause was then called on- HUGHES V. JONES. Mr. Mclntyre appeared for the plaintiff and Mr. Morgan Lloyd for defendant. This was an action on a bond for £322 7s. 7d., to which the defendant pleaded a set off, and the Statute of Limitations. After a lengthened investigation the jury returned a verdict fur the plaintiff. Damages £163. The Court then adjourned. The learned Judge took his seat on the bench on the following day at ten o'clock. BURGLARY. James Sullivan, aged lti, was placed at the bar, charged with breaking into the dwelling house of Evan Edwards, in the parish of Llanarmon-yn-Yale, on the 12th of June last, and stealing therefrom some bacon. Plea not guilty. Mr Swetenham appeared for the prosecution pri- soner was undefended. Evan Edwards deposed that he lived at Llanarmon. On Saturday, the lIth June, he went to bed about 12 o'clock. He lefl the door of the house only latched, because his son was at the fair. About three, he heard a noise in the kitchen, but thought it was his son coming in, and he went down stairs abouteight o'clock, and noticed the window broken, and things scattered about. His son found the prisoner in the hayloft. He run away, and witness ran after him and caught him in the yard. Wm. Edwards, son of the preceding witness, corro- borated the above evidence. Wm. Evans, one of the Denbighshire police, sta- tioned at Llanarmon, remembered going to prosecu- tor's house on the morning of the 12th, and took the prisoner to the police station. Prisoner on the road stated that he had endeavoured to get into the house by the window, but had been prevented by the bar.- He then tried the door, and finding it unlocked, went in, and while helping himself to soiue bacon, was dis- turbed by a noise, and got into the hayloft. The Judge briefly summed up. The jury returned a verdict of guilty against the prisoner, and he was sentenced to nine month's imprisonment with hard labour. POST OFFICE ROBBERY. Jonathan Hughes, aged 32, who has been employed as a letrer carrier at Ruthin, was indicted for stealing a post letter containing two half sovereigns, a sixpenny piece, and five penny postage stamps, the property of Her Majesty's Postmaster General, at Ruthin, on the 14th of April last. The prisoner pleaded not guilty. Mr. Vaughan Williams and Mr. Horatio Lloyd were retained tor the prosecution, and Mr. Swetenham for the defence. Thomas Jeff ry, clerk in the missing letter depart- ment in the Post Office, deposed as follows:-On the 14th of April I came down to Chester, directed a letter to Miss Roberts, Temperance House, Wett Btre? ?.thin North Wales, and enclosed in it two half s?oTe. re??ns., a sixpence, .ad five penny postage stamps, n?l of wliich I marked. I ealed the letter, and took it ?' ?." the ??ay. and gave it to the postmaster, Thomas El?ards, with instructions to send it to Ruthin thefoiiougmor; g I ,:ent to RuthiD, and saw the prisoller at the ?Horsep??ou? soon after ten o'clock, There ,as man ,ith him. I called ffaA Jsa -»»^a cr all ),out. letters this morning 2" He replied, Yes." I said, Did )'on not have a letter dIrected to  House, Well-street ?" He r,pli?d, No."   addressd  sent here  and it bs not been delivered S; P'*Ra !> Wi „ two shillings, an UD- delivered letter, and an midehvered newspaper. I re quested him to remain there while I we"' to the ?t ozoo to m? ? me inquiries. Soon after one o'clock I went to the shop of David Jones, a grocer, in Mwrog- street. His daughter produced a bag of money, and in it there were found two half sovereigns, on one of which I detected my own marks. I recognise the half sovereign now produced as one that I marked. Cross-examined by Mr. Swetenham.-I did not find any sixpences or postage stamps on the prisoner. The police officer searched him. Thomas Edwards, postmaster at Flint, stated-I received on the 13th of April last, a letter from the last witness, addressed to Miss Roberts. I kept it in my possession till the following morning before ten o'clock, stamped it, and put it in the Ruthin mail bag. I sealed the bag, and delivered it to Isaac Jones, the mail driver. Isaac Jones, dtiver of the mail cart between Flint and Ruthin, deposed to taking the mail bag from Flint to Ruthin. He always delivered the bag in the same state in which he received it. Elizabeth Evans, servant to the postmistress at Ruthin, said, I remember getting up on the 14th of April last, and receiving the bag from Isaac Jones. I only took one bag from him. I shut the door and put the bag down, and I think Miss Roberts came im- mediately and took it up. Eleanor Roberts, daughter of the postmistress at Ruthin, said, I assist my mother in the performance of her duties. The prisoner was carrier. I remember the 14h of April, sending the servant down to talte the letter bag. I went down and carried it into the office. It was tied and sealed with the Flint official seal. I opened the bag and took out all the letters and sorted them, and gave to each carrier the letter for his own delivery. I gave the Ruthin letters to the prisoner. There is only one carrier for Ruthin he comes to the office soon after seven the delivery occupies from an hour and a half to two hours. The prisoner returned to the office on the morning of the 14th of April about II o'clock, Mary Jones, wife of Evan Jones, said-I live with my father, in Mwrog-street; I saw the prisoner on the 14th of April; he came into the shop to get change for a half sovereign I gave him the change, and put the half sovereign into the purse; I shewed Mr. Jeffrey the half sovereign; I had not taken any other half so- vereign that morning. David Jones, father of the last witness, recollected the 14th of April. The prisoner went to him between II and 12, and told witness if any person asked whether he had been changing anything he was not to tell. Thomas Judge, sergeant of police at Ruthin, de- posed to having apprehended the prisoner on the 14th of April. Mr. Swetenham made an animated address to the jury on the prisoner's behalf, and endeavouied to shew that the identity of the half sovereign had not been sa- tisfactorily established. He called several witnesses who testified to tho character of the accused for ho nesty and integrity. The learned Judge summed up, and the jury, after a short consultation, pronounced a verdict of guilty. The prisoner was condemned to penal servitude for three years. EVANS V. JONES. Mr. Swetenham and Mr. Vaughan Williams were for the plaintiff; and Mr. Mclntyre and Mr. Morgan Lloyd for the defendant. The plaintiff in this cause was Eleanor Evans, for- merly a domestic and farm servant of the defendant, the Rev. Daniel Lewis Jones, Vicar of Gwyddehvern, in Merionethshire, and the cause of action was for a balance of wages alleged to be due from the latter to the former. It appeared that plaintiff was hired by the defendant, in August 1849, and remained in his service till October, 1858, at a rate of wages varying from i 7 to £9 a year. It had never been the practice of the defendant to pay to his servants regularly what was their due, but he had advanced various sums of money to the plaintiff at different times, and had oc- casionally paid bills for her. In Noviember last, an 1 -.1 1 1 -? L account was gone over oy tne uerenuaui in Lue presence of Mr. Edward Jones, surveyor for the county of Mo- rioneth, a friend of both parties, from which it ap- peared that the amount due to the plaintiff was £37 12s 4d., to which was added f5, making the whole £42 121. 4d. The defendant afterwards, in reference to this account, sent to Mr. Jones a promissory note for £40, undertaking to pay the remainder in cash in settlement of all demands. The plaintiff refused to accept the promissory note, and it remained in Mr. Jones' hands for six months. Tho plaintiff then took the note, but alleged that a still further sum was due to her. She disputed some of the items in the account, and there was a great deal of contradictory evidence with respect to a sum of £5 given by the defendant to the plaintiff on the day she left his service, the latter maintaining that it was given her as a present; the former as part payment of wages. The inquiry was prosecuted at very great length, without eliciting any facts of the slightest interest, and at the close of the evidence tor the defendant, the learned Judge observed that the plaintiff, by accepting the promissory note had acknowledged the agency of Mr. Jones, and had rendered himself incompetent to dispute any of the items in the account. There was a period of service, how, not corercd by that document, and he inti- mated that some arrangement might be come to. The suggestion was acted upon, and a juror was withdrawn, the defendant agreeing to pay an additional sum of £7 to the plaintiff, This closed the business of the assizes, and the court rose at a quarter to six o'clock. FLINTSHIRE. The commission of assize for the county of r lint was opened in the Court-house, at Mold, on Tuesday, before the the Right Hon. Sir A J. E. Cockburn, Bart.. His Lordship arrived in Mold late on Monday evening, and attended divine service in the parish church, when prayers were read by the Rev. J. Da- vies, M.A., vicar, and the Rev. *V. K. B. Briscoe, M. A., curate. The sermon was preached by the Rev. C. Floyd, of Malpas, from 1 Tim. i 5, Now the end of the commandment is charity out of a pure heart, and of a good conscience, and of faith unfeigned." The Court was opened at eleven o'clock, and the following gentlemen were sworn on the GRAND JURY, J. W. Eyton, Esq., Leeswood, foreman; C. B. T. Roper, Esq, Plas Teg; E. Morgan, Esq, Golden Grove J. Warter, Esq., Bangor H. L. Thomas, Esq, Bryn Elwy; L. F. Lloyd. Esq, Nannerch R. Richardson, Esq, Soughton House; H. Raikes, Esq Llwynegrin C. B. Clough, Esq, Llwyn Offa; E. cI, i Esq., Bryn y pys; J. Sisson, Esq.. F. Philips, Esq, Rhual; A. Cope, Esq, Holloway H. Potts, Esq, Glanraton T. B. May. Esq, Hawarden; E. Lloyd, Esq, Hafod; J. S. Bankes, Esq, Soughton Hall; T. G. Dixon, Esq, Prestatyn; T. W. Eyton, Esq, Pen- trehobin; J. C. Jones, Esq, Rhyddyn; T. W. Lee, Esq, Redbrook. The proclamation against vice and immorality having been read, his Lordship delivered the following charge. Gentlemen of the Grand J ury,-There is nothing either in the number of cases in the calendar, or the nature of the offences with which the prisoners whose names are found therein are charged, which calls for any lengthened observation. There is only one case to which 1 think it necessary to call attention. That is the case of Anne Peake, who stands charged with the manslaughter of her illegitimate child. The evidence is somewhat imperfect and incomplete. I can only endeavour to assist you by pointing out the law.- There are no marks of violence on the child to lead to the infereuce that the woman did anything with the intention of destroying it. The surgeon's evidence goes to prove that the child was born alive. It is possible that a child may breathe in the course of birth, and yet die as soon as the birth is complete. But the question here is whether the mother did anything in the way of exposing the child which it was her duty as a mother not to have done, and which it was likely caused the death of the child. If anything of that kind took place, it will be your duty to bring In a true bill; on the other hand, if you cannot, see anything on the part of the mother to warrant the charge of manslaugh- ter, you will throw out the bill. There are a few cases of stabbing and wounding, but they will not give you any difficulty. FELONIOUSLY BREAKING INTO A DWELLING-HOUSE. Ann Roberts, widow, and Priscilla Jones, spinster, were charged with breaking into the house of Ellen Rowlands, of Newmarket, on the 4th ult., and stealing one smoothing iron, one pair of sheets, and one pair of shoes, Mr, V. Williams appeared on behalf of the prosecu- tion, From the evidence of the prosecutrix and a witness named Margaret Owens, it appears that the house was left at three o'clock in the afternoon in question. Pro- secutrix returned about seven the same evening, when she found that the house had been entered in her ab. sence, and the articles mentioned were found to have been removed. The articles were produced in court and identified. P. C. Lloyd found the articles in the elder prisoner's house, which is situated about a mile and a half from the house of prosecutrix. The prisoner Roberts stated she knew nothing of the robbery, but that her daughter (the prisoner Jones) brought them to her, and said she had found them un- der a hedge. His Lordship summed up, and the jury found Jones guilty, and Roberts of receiving the articles with a guilty knowledge. A previous conviction for a sim- lar offence was proved. Jones was sentenced to twelve month's imprisonment, Roberts to six months. FELONIOUS WOUNDING. I Thos. Porter, carpenter, was charged with teloniousiy stabbing Richard Hughes, at Flint, on the 21st of March last, with intent to do him some grievous bodily barm. Mr. Beavan appeared for the prosecytion, Mr. M. Lloyd defended the prisoner. The prosecutor, prisoner, and others, were on the evening in question drinking at the King's Head, in Flint. In the eburse of the evening, the landlady cOm plained to her husband that the prisoner had been mis- behaving himself all the evening. The landlord then attempted to turn prisoner out, and they began to fight. Prosecutor, who is a policeman on the Chester and Holyhead railway, and stationed at Flint, when the fight began, took the landlord's part, and then the prisoner was turned out. The door was locked, and prosecutor and prisoner shut out. When they were out, prisoner charged him with telling him t:1e wrong hour at which the trnin went, and struck him at the same time in the face. Prosecutor, on receiving the blow, knocked prisoner down. Prisoner then got up, and struck prosecutor in his side who immediately knocked him down again, and then ran away. Pro- secutor had not gone far when he felt a pain in his side, and he then found he had been stabbed. The cut had penetrated through his jacket, vest, brace, and under clothing. The wound waj an inch in length, and had been of such a nature as to confine him to his bed for nine days. His Lordship summed up, and the jury returned a verdict of unlawful wounding, and his Lordship sen- tenced the prisoner to nine month's hard labiur. Robt. Jones, collier, was also charged with stabbing James Jones, at Whitford, on the 9th July last. The prisoner pleaded not guilty. This was a case similar to the former, arising out of a drinking affair. Mr. M'lutyrc conducted the prosecuiol), and Mr. H. Lloyd was for the defence. Prisoner and prosecutor had been drinking together on the evening in question, at the Black Horse, T,ilar- goch, until between 11 and 12 at night. When they left, prisoner challenged presecutor to fight him. Pro- secutor accepted his challenge, when the prisoner said, Strike me first, and I'll hurt you." He did strike prisoner, and they fought two rounds then feeling faint, prosecutor gave up, He then found that he had been cut In ten places, and stabbed in an eleventh. The jury returned a verdict of Unlawfully wound- ing. To be kept to hard lahour for two years. FELONIES. Peter Edwards, labourer, was indicted for breaking into the dwelling-house of Robt. Thomas, Ysceitiog, on the 4th of November, and stealing a pair of trowsers and a weistcoat. Pleaded guilty, and was sentenced to nine months' imprisonment. Edw. Mores, labourer, was indicted for stealing 12Mbs of copppr, the pi-oppri), of W. Keates and others, his masters. He pleaded Guilty.—Twelve months imprisonment. The Grand Jury ignored the bill against Ann Peake for the manslaughter of her infant child. BIGAMY. This was a charge against John Jones, not in the calendar, for feloniously intermarrying with Mary Dotibabin, his former wife being still alive. In conse- quence of a representation from rr, Swetenham, that one of the material witnesses (the wife) was absent, the case could not proceed and lie prayed an adjourn- ment, which the Judge refused and he therefore with. drew from the prosecution, and the prisoner was dis- charged. His Lordship remonstrated on the impro- piiety and wickedness of treating the obligation of the marriage vow so lightly and reminded the prisoner of the melital anxiety he must have been the cause of to two unfortunate women. It was well he had escaped so easily, for if the offence had been brought home to him, ha should have visited him with the punishment he so deservedly merited. This closed the business of the assizes,

BETIIBSDA,—An inquest was held on Thuisday last, at the Douglas Arms Hotel, before E, G, Powell, E'q, on the bod].of Sarah Ann Williams, aged 3 years, the daughtetof Mr Morris Williams, cabinet-maker, Ogiven Terrace, It appeared from the evidence of the father, that on Monday last, deceased was out pla)ing, and got wet; and to avoid her mother seeing her, she went near the fire for the purpose of drying her clothes, but unfortunately approaching too near, they took fire, and she was so severely burnt, that she died the following day. Verdict, Accidental Death. LLANGEFNI.—We are glad to understand that Mr, Hugh Thcnias, Clerk to Thos. Owen, E*q, solicitor, of this town, has been awarded the prize of One Guinea, offered by Gwynfardd," on behalf of the lay associa- tion of the deanery of Newcastle Emlyn, Cardiganshire, for the best Welsh essay on "Suntlay Schools." There were many competitors, and the judge was the Rev. Dr. James, Panteg Rectory. At the Eisteddfod re- cently held at Llanerchymedd, "Our Correspond-nt also obtained a prize of £2 for the best Welsh essay on the qualifications and duties of Union Officers, namely, Relieving Officer, Guardian, and Medical Officer. BALA.—A meeting of the ratepayers of this borough was held in the County Hall, at Bala, at two o'clock, on Friday last, to consider a resolution for the adoption of the Local Go.eroment Act, 18 )8, in the borough of Bala. G, P. Lloyd, Esq., Plasyndre, was elected chair- man of the meeting, who called on Mr. Wm. Thomas, the summouing officer, to read over and explain the boundary to be taken for the purpose of the said Act, ti., settled Ijy the Secretary of State. The chairman ..sk?d if any of the ratepayers wished to nuke any ob- servation or j:tnt;r":hOmladP:ilnSV:i.t¡' the Act, but as none of them made such o b ervatic-n or objection, the resolution was declared as carried unani- mously- PWLLHELI.—On Thursday evening, the 28th ult, a public meeting in aid of the Church Missionary Society, was held in the Town Hall Pwllheli, the Rev. Thomas Jones, the Vicar, in the chair. The Hall was crowded with ladies and gentlemen, who were attracted thither by the fame of the Rev. Canon Stowell, of Manchester, who had promised to attend. The meeting was ad- dressed by the Revds. D. Pugh, Henry Richards, T- 1.1, Owen, Canon Stowell, Eleaier Williams, and John Owen. Canon Stowell spoke for neatly an hour and a half, with his usual fervour and eloquence, and his stirring speech, to which no abridgement can do justice, was listened to with the greatest attention, and seemed to make a deep impression upon his audience. The Rev, D. Pugh, the Hon. Sec. of the Pwllheli branch of the Sooiety, read a statement of the accounts for the last year. At the end of the meeting, plates were held at the doors by Lady Jones Parry, and Miss Owen, of Llaniestyn Cottage, when the sum of £6 12s. 3d. was collected, including a cheque for £2 from the former lady. LONDON.—The most honourable and loyal Society of Ancient Britons held their quarterly meeting at Ash. ford, in Middlesex, on Saturday, the 30th ult. There were present, -Lord Dynevor, president; Col. Wood; C. A. Wood, Esq., treasurer Sir Thomas Phillips J. R, Kenyon. Esq., D.C.L. W. P. Hichards, Esq. W. Jones, Esq., ( jwrgant) Willoughby Hemans, Esq. J. R. E. Hawkins, Esq.; Stephen Lewis, Esq.; J. E. Evans, Esq,; R. lOvans, Esq.; and the liev. J. Evans. The schools had been inspected by several gentlemen experienced in matters of education, and their reporti in reference to the mode of training the children for the useful occupations of life at this Institution, were highly satisfactory. The children who were leaving the school, had each a certificate of good conduct, with a Bible and Prayer Book presented to them, with a suitable address from the Treasurer. The Governors present then passed a resolution, expressing their sorrow at the deaih of Dr Samuel Griffith, their honorary physician, who died at the early age of 32, about 6 six weeks ago. He was a young gentleman of commanding talents and high pro- mise. Tie Committee also passed a resolution of con. dolence with his bereaved family and lr. Conway Evans, Assistant Physician of King's College, "as una- nimously elected to fill the vacancy. After the business of the day was over, the Governors d ned together, Lord Dynevor taking the Chair. The usual loy.il and patrio- tic toasts were proposed, drank, and responded to auil the party returned to town by an eady train. CARNARVON.-CHURCII MISSIONARY SOCIETY.—A sermon was preached on Sunday last, at St. Mui y's, b) the Right Iev, the Lord Bishop of Bangor, to a very full congregation, in aid of the above Society. This- being the first time the Rev. Prelate had preached awat from Bangor since his elevation, much interest was evinced in listening to him and we are glad to record the very general opinion of satisfaction, which his eloquent discourse elicited, from all who had the pleasure of hearing him. The prayeis were read b) Ilw Rev. l. Thomas, Vicar, assisted by the Rev. J. Ecklio. The sermon was from the 8th verse of the 2nd Psalm Desire of me, and 1 shall give thee the heathen for hine inheritance and the utermost parts of the e-trth jor thy possession."—In the evening a sermon was preached for the same purpose, by the Rev. J. Ecklyn, in his usually impressive manner. His text was part of the 30th verse of the 10th chapter of Acts. The prayerh were read by the Rev. Dr. Taylor, of Liverpool. The collections amounted to £13, some odd shillings.-At the Boys' National School, Carnarvon, a large and re- spectable assembly was addressed on Tuesday last, b) various clergymen, in aid of the above Society A hymn being sung, the motives of the meeting wer; ably introduced by the worthy Vicar, who was succeeded by his Curate, the Rev. D. Williams, after whom the Hev. Kellan addressed the meeting in Welsh, which seemed much to interest those who understood the language he was followed by the Hev. Dr. Taylor, of Liverpool in English, and again in Welsh by the Rev. Eleazer Williams. After the address of the Rev. Canon, Sto- well, of Manchester, who was the last, and whilst the most humorous, the most impressive and effective speaker of the evening, a vote of thanks wa. propose by the Rev. T. Thomas to that geDtletTiaii and the Rev. Or, Taylor, for their kind and prompt .iliendance, especially the latter, who had been summoned but a short half-hour before. A forest of hands evinced the acquiesence of those present in the sentiments of their respected pastor, and proved the gratification they had experienced in listening to those who had addressed i them. The meeting then separated, and a collection was made at the door.

LIBERAL PURITY. (From the I Ncrthern Daily Timst.') Up to Saturday afternoon six Liberals, members of Parliament, had been unseated for bribery and corrup- tion at the late general election. More of the Conserva- tive members, against whom there were petitions, have been unseated. The result of the proceedings before the Election Committees of the House of Commons is altogether adverse to the Liberal cause. There is a dif- ference of twelve votes in a division. The Radicals have hitherto claimed exemption from that peculiar touch of human frailty that usually displays itself at election contests. That none but the Conservatives resort to bribery and corruption was the theory put forth by Mr, Bright, Sir James Graham, and the Liberal purists. Against this doctrine we may set the results of the elec- tion appeals, as far as they have gone. Mr. Smith, Mr. Bernard, and Mr. Astell, all Conservative members, hitve passed the ordeal of investigation triumphantly, and are declared to have been duly elected. The petitions against the Conservative members for Kent have been withd,awn. We know it is not prudent to halloi before we are out of (he wooll yet we cannot refrain from noticing how thoroughly the bribery and corruption at the late Gene- ral Election appean to have been confined to the Libe- rals, The result of the investigations before election committees of the House of Commons, so far, is, that six Liberal members have been unseated on the ground of corrupt practices, while five Conservatives have passed without taint through the ordeal, and been confirmed in their seats. Now, this in the division on the no-confi- dence motion which upset the late Government, would have told as twelve votes, whereas the majority, it will be remembered, was only thirteen. What may be the ultimate issue of the whole petitions now under inves- tigation, we will not presume to predict but it cer- tainly appears very likely, at present, that the Conserva- tive Government will prove to have been defeated by the votes of those who were not duly elected, and whose votes, therefore, ought to have been utterly valueless and unavailable. We admire the poetical justice by which the loss of six Radical seats has been the first-fruits of recent elec- toral corruption. The latter was hid, by anticipation, all at the door of the Conservative party. But prophecy and history are two different things and, in fact, it i- the most self-conscious of evil wiio are generally the most ready in suspicion. To ascribe a special eminence in the arts of bribery to Conset vatism, was, we all knew, to read history backwards. But facts are now too pa- tent and too recent to suffer any but a straightforward perusal, No doubt facts will again be soon forgotten, and meedacily regain its wonted confidence. The real Simon Pure, who has once more bt,en found out, will yet once more, "half froth, half venom, spit himselt abroad," anti with his simulated character, deceive the unwary. It is useless to break through his cobwebs for, unylike the housemaid's insect t"rment, our political spider can spin for ever, without wasting his thread. It is not unlucky, however, when sometimes a tangible fact or two come to a cleanly rescue, and take away all necessity for an unpleasant office. Two months ago, and the appeal to the country by a Conservative Ministry was stigmatised as a purposed and deliberate appeal to the powers ofcorrupi ioti. Thecon" stitnenries of the country wete to have been carried by a coup de main, the agent iu which was to be pounds, shillings, and pence the kinds of money to be assorted, not according to the capacity of the bribers, but to the expectations or obstinacy of the bribed. Carlton Club had made every arrangement for the campaign, and the venal army were ready to pounce upon the country. Supplies might be counted on to any extent, and even a lending journal condescended to adopt a falsehood hope- less from its audacity, and to announce from its leading columns that tne high-minded Premier of England had subse, ibed E20,000 to replenish the coffers of corruption. The Conservative leaders spoke with some confidence of the prospective results of their appeals, and their par- donable hopes were construed into a base reliance upon the extent of their pecuniary means, and upon the flagi- tious oliabilitv of English constituencies. Some Con- servatives reckoned upon a gain of fifty seats; they ne- tually gained thirty. But short was to be their triumph. The bill of impeachment was preparing even before the sessi ,n began, and in all the Radical newspapers of England, the tribunals had been opened, and the gi- gantic criminals condemned and executed-by anticipa- tion. Such was feigned to be the completeness and the boldness of the organiiation, that it had become nothing short of a conspiracy against the constitution and the march of the exultant Conservatives to Westminster had acquired something of the impressiveness of a march of the guilty to the b "f justice. No one who remem- bers the language used si the time, in apprehension of a Conservative triumph, will accuse us of exaggerating the feeling which the Liberal press endeavouied to spread throughout the land. And how stands the game now 1 The tribunal has indeed opened, the judges have indeed taken their seats, the crier has proclaimed silence to all lingland. But the cur'ain rises, and we see an unhappy Liberal trembling and cowering at the bar; we hear him pleading guilty, to prevent an investigation into the details of his crime, -we see him fall upon his knees and beseech his relenting judges, tnat he may save his costs, un cuudhioD f hig {H.lmiUing oycry particular of hie shame 1 We have no wish to continue the vein of metaphor. In all seriousness and sincerity, we denounce the bold. ness of that mendacity which spattered its unworthy charges of anticipated corruption upon opponents, in order to cover a possible reverse. We recall, with grate- ful admiration, the cilm dignity of the Conservative Leader, who disdained to contradict the slanders of his enemies, and left it to a swift retribution to cover them with shame. He gave them rope enough and, truth to say, we cannot complain if, despising the hangman's office himself, he has left the work to be done by a surer process of suicide. The recent investigations have disclosed features of deliberate conception and fearless execution, unparallel- ed in electoral history. At Wakefield, Mr. Leatham, or, at least, the whole tribe of his supporters, were fully aware beforehand, that the town could not be carried except by corruption. Their plans were most conscious, most deliberate, and fully recognised among each other. The display of their unscrupulous machinery was with. out backWHdness-the temptation was o ffered without the usual touch of affectation. The system was devised with such a leckless daring that the agents caught the contagion, and never once thought of the tortuous se- crets of their craft. They disdained to coquet with the electors, or to dally with rhe tedious process 01 insinua- tion. Do you think you have any prospect ?" says a doubtful ally in an open committee-room these are what we'll carry the day with," is the answer; while fives, tens, and fifties flash in the face of the astonished voter. I must have more than a five" says one crafty trader, who had begun to appreciate the nature. of the traffic, and had some approximate notion of the value of his pi-operty. "Talk not of five, you shall have fifty J" An,l who can doubt when" liberal" munifi- cence promises 1 The constituency becomes a Danase, and surrenders helplessly amid a shower of gold. The air is thickened and obscured with bank-notes, and the bewildered voter is unable to see the relations of honour, virtue, or anything fixed and tangible, through the cloud. Nothing is more portentous and alarming than the fact, that the modes of corruption before the Reform Bill wefe decency in comparison with the recent statistics of Radicalism. What was delicately insinuated by an inu. ndo, and darkly accepted by a wink, is now tran- sacted in the face of day, and becomes a transaction wrought out by full process,—a matter of engagement, signed, Bealed, and delivered, and not wanting the legal completion of witnesses. Henceforth we had better erect an Exchange for the negotiations of a traffic so necessary for the establishment and prosperity of Libe- ral principles. Wakefield or Huddersfield should be the head-quaiters, and the brothers Leatham, the cory- phaei of the mark t. Neither will it disturb the family combination if J r. Brother-in-law Bright accepts the office of principal correspondent and patron.—[For six expelled Kadicals read eight.]

I PURITY OF ELECTION. I It must be anything but agreeable to the Liberals in this country, says the Manchester Guardian,' to find that four Liberal members of the House have already been unseated for bribery. This candid con- fession and complaint is very significant. It is honourable to our contemporary, we admit, to make so honest, an acknowledgment of Liberal profligacy. But it shews that the great fact cannot be denied or glossed over, that the popular Liberalism of the day is now quite as much identified with corruption as was ever the rankest Toryis.-n of days gone by. The cases referred to are those of Wakefield and Dart- mouth. for each of which places a member has been unseated, on the score of bribery and that of Glou- cester, both the Liberal members for which have shared the same fate. The latter case is, perhaps, the worst of all-one of the worst, indeed, of which we have any records in the annals of electioneering. An emissary of the London Reform Club was sent down to the city with bags of gold, which he distri- buted with a lavish hand among the humblest classes of voters, for the purchase of their votes and this person was constrained to state before the Committee that he received a note, requiring him to proceed to Gloucester on so infamous a mission, in Lord John Russell's committee-room in the city of London So that it is evident "the great Liberal party at bead quarters had set in motion the machinery for bribery and corruption throughout the country at the last general election, having first, of course, provided the necessary funds for the purpose. As a contrast to these cases, we may fairly present that of Mr. I Astell, the Conservative member for Ashburton, against whom the charge of bribery and corruption | was got up, but which, when it camet o be exrn>ine £ was found to be utterly devoid of truth. We do not know that the Liberals have actually come to mono- polize altogether these corrupt practices at elections but, undoubtedly, they now seem to take the lead in them everywhere.— [The four have been increased to eight.]

VICE-CHANCELLORS' COURTS, ArousT 2. (Before Vice-Chancellor Sir R. T. Kinriersley.) .lIuhes v. the Chester and Holyhead Railway Com- panyand the London and North Western Railway Company.—This was a motion for an injunction to re- strain the defendants, their agents, and workmen from intertering with or preventing the plaintiff, his agents, and workmen from making a railwa/under these cir- cumstances The plaintiff is the owner of large I estates in Flintshire and Denbighshire, a great part of which abut on the Irish Sea, or St. George's Channel, extending also for a considerable distance inland. The river Foryd falls into the Irish Sea, near the town of, Hhyl, where there is a steamboat pier, and from which steamers run to Liverpool, Rhyl being i lai-ge water- in" place. The Chester and IIoIyhead Hailway run* from the Chester and Birkenhead junction to Holy- head, passing through the parish of Abergele, where lands belonging to the plain.ilFand abutting upon the town of Rliyl are situute, tne«5o4th section or mat Act (7th and 8th Victoria, cap. G5), it is enacted- That whereas the line of railway skirts the estuary of the Dee and St. George's Ch,nnel, between the cities of Chester and Bangor, which will have the effect of obstructing the free watercourse and traffic between the lands on the banks of the estuary and the sea, and so depriving such lands of their advantage of position as respects the estuary and channels and whereas the said lands abound with coal and other minerals and stone suitable for quarries, which latter in some in- stances belong to persons not for the erection of works and other purposes of commerce, and it is desireable to give faciliti s of access between the said lands and the sea, and from the lands and the sea on the lower or sea i le of the said line of railway to parts inland be it therefore enacted that nothing herein const"ined shall ex end to prevent the owner or owners, lessee or lessees, cupior or occupiers for the time being of any lands, or tenements, or hereditaments, buddings, warehouses manufactories, works, coal awl other mines, minerals, or quarries lying near to cr a ljoining the said railway,, and in parts adjacent, at any luture time or times, and from time to time hcreaf"er as occasion may require from making any railway, tram, or other roals, ways, approaches, or watercourses for the benefit of them- selves and of all and every other person and persons to whom they or any of them from time to time give leave, and in such way and for such purposes as they or any of them may require, so that any such railway, tram- road, roadway, approach, or watercourse do no injury to and do not prevent the tree passage over, upon, and along the said railway hercb, authorized be made by the said coi?p;?.y, and so that all the works connected with the passing thereat over or under the said railway be done under the superintendence and to the satisfac- tion of the engineer for the time being of he said com- pany and according to plans to be approved by him and the said company shall not be entitled to demand, have, or receive any tonnage or compensation whatso- ever for the making of such "ay or the passing of any goods, persons, horses, carts and carriages, mines, minerals, goods. merchandise, or other matters or things along such railway, trannoad, way, or approach. or compensation for any watercourse so to be made across the said lino of railway hereby authorised to be made." The Chester and Holyhead Iliilway having been const ueted bisected a farm belonging to the plain- tiff, so that all eommnnication from the inland side of the line to those on the s-award side was thereby cut off, the only communication being by means of a farm road passing under the line. The plaintiff being desirous of making a railway under the powers con- ferred upon him by the 34th Rectillll as above, on the 21st of March last communicated with Mr. J. O. Binger, the general manager, by letter, through his (plaintiff's) solicitors, Messrs. Humbertson, Helpe, and Parker, upon which a correspondence IOOK pince, in which the plaintiff averred that he intended to use the line for general commerce, and the result was that the company refused to consent to allow the railway to be made unless the object of it was explicitly stated. Plans were then proposed, and consent to make the line refused by the defendants but the plaintiff gave notice that he intended on the loth of July to com- mence the works. To this notice a letter was return- ej, stating that the attempt to proceed with such works would be resisted. On the 15th, however, the works were commenced, and proceeded for four days without molestation, when, on the 20th, Mr. Illdworth Lee, the engineer of the Chester and Holyhead Com- pany, gave personal notice to the workmen that if they did not immediately cease they would be forcibly ejected. The workmen therefore ceased, but resumed on the two following days, but on the 24th were for- cibly ejected by Mr. Lee, Mr. Kichard Montagu Preston, and other persons, merely by requesting them to clear off, which they did. In 1858, the Chester and Holyhead Railway was amalgamated with the London and North- Western Railway Company with certain restrictione as to votes. The London and Nerth- Western Railway Company likewise denied the right of the plaintiff to proceed with his works. The plain- tiff then filed this bill, stating she above facts, and praying a declaration that he had a right, under the 34th section of the 7th and 8:h Victoria, cap. 65, to make the r,tilway as he proposed, and to i-estrain the defendants by injunction from preventing him from so doing. The plaintiff had agr" I with the Vale of Clwyd Railway, but that agreement was not a part- of the case. The contention on the part of the defendants was that the 334th section related only to private rights, and did not authorize the making of a railway, as was proposed, for the use of the public. The whole pur- pose of the Legislature, the whole difficulty to be ob. viated by the 34th section, was the transport of pro- ducts of the earth from one portion of the lands of the same owner to the other over or unier the railway. Air. Glasse and Mr. H. F- Bristowe appeared for the plaintiff the Attorney-General, Mr. Bailey, and Mr. Speed for the defendants. The Vice-Chancellor said that this question was one of considerable nicety and difficulty, upon which, had it not been such a late period ot the year, he should have taken time to consider the point; but, as the matter might be taken immediately to the Appellate Court, he would now express his opinion. The ex- pression" Public conveyance of passengers and goods," as used in the 3rd and 4th of Victoria, cap. 55, and the 5th aud Gill of Victoria, meant passengers at fares and goods for carriage charge. If the plaintiff had the right, it mattered nothing what his intention was; if he had no such intention it mattered nothing whether he bad the right. Let it be assumed that a person ha,1 a right on his own land to make a railway for conveying his servants, goods, &c., and, if he ob- served the regulations of the Railway Regulation Acts, to use the railway for public purposes, still the whole question turned upon the construction of the 34th section, and that only. His Honour then elaborately considered this section, portion by portion, considering at the same time that it must be regarded as a contract between the landowners and the company, as the price of disarming their opposition. '1 he inconvenience provided for applied to the lands on the land side of the railway, and power was therefore (a significant word) given to make railways to connect the two por- tions thus severed, not to go on the level and not for the public conveyance of passengers and goods, but for the benefit of themselves and such persons as they might give leave to. It was the common practice in the ° mineral counties to grant such way leaves, bnt there was a great and perfect distinction between that and the passage of goods and persons for profit, and the words for such purposes as they may require" made it more plain, only that the company should not be entitled to compensation for going through an em- bankment, &c. When the Act passed it might have been suggested that words should be inserted to enable the owner to make a railway to carry passengers, but if it had, no doubt the company would have opposed and, indeed, their present opposition showed that, and probably it would have been successfully resisted. It was true that this section contained general words, but they must receive the interpretation and restrictions flowing from the whole context. The object of this clause was to give a convenient and ready access be- tween the lands divided by the railway, and not of a public character. It was therefore immaterial whether the plaintiff intended to connect his railway with the Vale of Clwyd Railway, which of course he could as long as he did not come upon the lands in question. It was clear upon the correspondence and affidavits that the plaintiff did intend to have the right, at all events, to use the projected raUway ?"'P?"" pur- poses, which was not within themean.ugo'?e?Mt section. Therefore, the Court being of opinion  the plaintiff had not a right to make. and a rallway under the Chester and Behead Ra.tway f ,ue .JD\ Uv7 lic conveyance of passengers 0pinion that he ought not to have an .nmnctton ex. cfp? ?pon an undertaking not to do 80, and the pln- ? ?i.fd?eli,,ing to give such .?dertak.ng. the mjMCtMn must be refused.
