FIELD SPORTS AT ST. ASAPH. The pride and glory of summer has passed away like a voung man in the strength of his youth, succeeded l,y a,. autumn, which promises to be one of uncommon bril. liancv on the turt. Country squires and farmers' sons, relieved from the labours of husbandry, are beginning to avail themselves of that period of relaxation, which nature has provided for them, in coursing those animals which have been left to procreate, and which yield such invigorating, sport and delicious repasts; for adopting tbe motto of Mrs. Glass-" F Ifst catch a hare, and cook it after her directions, is the only way to enjoy both." It has long been our aim to see a respectable coursing club established in the Vale of Clwyd, and recollecting the many casual meetings which tcok place last year, which were so well attended, and productive of such good sport, we are glad to see them about to be renewed, and amalgamated into something like central permanent head quarters in our ancient city. Being purely an azricullural population, intermixed with a few of the clerical order, there is little choice in the way of amuse- ment, and we cannot believe it at all dei-ogiative, or wicked, for the latter to take an interest in that which tends to bodily health and comfort, any more than the former. Whoever has read the lion, G. Berkeley's sketches of the recreations of the Clergy, published in the I Field newspaper, will be convinced of this; and soliloquizing on the reminiscences of our boyish days, when at a collegiate school in the south of England, with wl.t jest we listened to the worthy vicar reciting Diana's version of "hunting the hare." We shall be right in saying, there was as much practical religion then as now, but less fastidiousness and puerile formality. An advertisement in our advertising columns shews the intention of establishing a permanent coursing club, which has already received the sanction and support of distinguished landed proprietors. We know of no place better adapted for it, or where there is more game. A great many dogs are already entered, and the in- defatigable gentleman, under whose auspices and through whoso instrumentality it has originated, is sanguine as to the result. We heartily wish him success, It is these rational exercises that contribute not only to our indi- vidual mental and bodily vigour, but they do a great deal 01 good bv social contact and free ijitercourfe,-the landlord with his tenant, the master with the man. It is pleasing after the excitement of the day to sit down to a substantial dinner, and recount the moving incidents of flood and field and it is often the case that connex- ions are there formed which result in bonds of friendship in after life. From the beginning, the chase has been recognised as man's prerogative; and an all-wise Providence still causes the creatures designed for his use to increase and multiply. By a free concession of their lands, the pre- servers of game are benefitted for no man thinks of poaching who is allowed to join in the sport, but will do his best to bring offenders to justice.

ST. ASAPH VESTRY, AND LOCAL GOVERNMENT ACT. To the Editor of the North Wales Chronicle. Dear Sir,—May I beg a small space in your paper, to rrply to the remarks made on the conduct of the rate- piycrs of this city, in vestry assembed on the 16th inst., respecting an adoption of the above Act. First, the semi editorial remarks were evidently made in ignorance of the feelings and intentions of the great body of ratepayers, as there was no undercurrent, fur everything was made open and above board; neither was there any frothy declamation, but sound words and strong arguments, which bad the effect of convincing 19 out of -0 then present, that they did not require the adoption of that despotic Act. Secondly, with respect to the lclter signed" An Enemy to Dirt." Query, does he pay for his soap? It is un- worthy of notice, it being so irrelevant and so very srllrnlous, that I shall pass it by with the contempt that it deserves, it being evidently written under the influ- ence of Gin and Water and Biccy." Thirdly, in reply to Spectator," I beg to thank him for his admission, that he is a sti-aiiger here," whieh accounts for the mis-statements he has made. He very improperly associates the name of -Air. Wyatt with that of Messrs. Sisfon and T. Kyffi,, Roberts, as being in favour of the Act for Mr. Wyatt is decidedly opposed to it. lie ("Spectator ) fu,th- says, that the iiioveiiieiit in its favour was made by a few of the principal ratepayers, ? ?. to ?ate t?re ?as only one of the p,i,?,ip?,l ratepayers present, and he was di-ad against it. I hrmly believe the whole of that (lass of parishioners are of the same opinion. "Spectator" Huill say, that the enemies of our" District Auditor" were the chief op- ponents of the Act. If he, the said auditor lias any enemies here, he has only to thank himself for them. The respectable and influential lIIajority that rejected the motion, can well afford to laugh to scorn the puny effort of anonymous writers, to vaise the cry of dirt >, against them, whilst themselves are obliged to eat" dirt" in bitter disappointment. In conclusion, I beg to assure you and your numerous readers, that the health and prosperity of the "ancient little ity," is as near and dear to the majority of the ratepayers, as it can be to the clique that endeavoured to thrust upon them an Act, the arbitrary powers of which they repel, and the prin- ciples of which they unscrupulously abhor. Having in this letter said "nothwg extenuated, or let down aught in malice," I do not shrink from sub. scribing myself Your obedient servant, .o On, 11 th, J 8J9. JOHN IJLOYJJ

THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT ACT, 1838 To the Editor of the North tvciles Chronicle. ..1 1 -1 Sir,-As one of those who opposed me aaopuo the Act for this to,Ii, I shall pass your,, St. Asaph Cor- respondent's" article on the subject, in your last week s )'?r unnoticed, for I have no doubt th.t he has by this t?.htuund out hi? mistake, aud that there was no "miller current iiianmtivre,"or any unfair means, resorted to, to iegret a measure that the inhabitants did not think necessary; and that we are as capable of ascertaining, what we want and how to get it, as Mr. William Martin is "Spectator" bdng comparativcly a stranger, "and no: able to judge how far the same is necessary, his lemarks S<> for nothing, but an enemy to dirt s letter is so, scurrilous and full of buffoonery, and the writer of it, one of those cowardly base assassins, who stab in the dark without having the courage to give thelf real names to tln.ii malevolent productions; that I determined to reply to it, lest Strriiig-efs, by finding no notice taken of a reply given to such slanderous tongues and pens, should conclude that the parties named have been fairly described, but on being informed (whilst writing my article) who the writer is, that the fact is well known, I dropped my pen, and considered it a waste of time to argue with a person whose opinions on such matters is not worth a farthing, and who I am sure, knows nothing of the" Local Government Act." If he had been of heavier weight, or had not been known, I should have proceeded to explain that those, who opposed the measure, are as anxious for improve- ments, and have the interest of the city as much at heart, as those few who voted for it, and that the town's re- quirements may be obtained without adopting 11 The Local Government Act." I am, Sir, your obedient Servant, EDW. ROBERTS.

PRESTATYN-MONDAY, Oct. 10th. Before Sir Piers Mostyn, and W. S. Conwy, Esq. Thomas Roberts, Sarah Holton, and Eliza Lloyd, all of Rhyl. were charged with stealing carrots from a field. Mr. W. Hughes solicitor, appeared for Roberts. Win. Davies, sworn, said he was a servant to Alr. John Roberts, Royal Hotel, Rhyl, and on Friday, at eight p.m went to watch a field where carrots and tur- nips were growing. I saw the three defendants get into the field, go straight to the carrots, and when I got to them, they were busy pulling them up, It was an en- closed field, and the gate pegged, the lock had been stolen. I went up to them, they were five or six yards apart, and told them they were doing wrong. The man replied they did not know whose field it was. The carrots were found on the ground the following morn- ing. I took Roberts to my master to the Royal Hotel who let him home that night. The carrots were left in heaps. It was moonlight, and I did not know any of them before. Cross-examined by Mr, Hughes Roberts said he did not know whose field it was. He met the women by one of the Lodges, and he thought it belonged to them. lie had no object to have the carrots himself. Fras Shaife, P.O., got his instructions to apprehend the prisoners from Mr. Roberts, after seeing the damage. On seeing the prisoner Holton, she said she wanted the carrots to cut, and gave me a piece she had taken. Lloyd admitted she had been to the field, but not taken any away, On taking Roberts into custody, he said he merely went for a lark with the girls. Mr. Hughes urged there was no evidence to support a ease of stealing. Win. Davies, platelayer, lives at Ffynon Gron, Rbyl. Roberts has lived with me twelve months, and wo-ks on the line from the Bridge to the Station. He provides himself, but I never saw him with carrots in the house. Thos. Jones corroborated this evidence. The Bench, after cautioning, dismissed the case against Roberts, and fined the two girls each Is. and costs, or fourteen days' imprisonment. John Hughes, Pieton, William Pvers and Robert Griffiths, Llanasa, were charged for driving without reins. They admitted tbe offence, and were each fined 6d. and costs. Win. Morgan and Robert Ellis, Gwaenesgor, and Wm. Hughes, of Ffynon-wen, were charged by P.O. Griffiths with being drunk and disorderly on Saturday night, the 4th September, at Llanasa, and each fined 5s, and costs. Thomas Williams, of Llys Melidcn, was charged with neglecting to repair the road leading to his premises, and filled los, and costs. Thomas Parry, Llanasa, was charged by P.O. Jones with being found drunk and disorderly, at Llanasa, on the 211d October, and fined 5s. and costs, Jane Roberts, of Rhyl. charged Thomas Foulkes, of the same place, with being the father of her illegitimate child, and obtained an affiliation order for Is. Gd. weekly -5s. medical fees and costs. Isaac Roberts was charged with stealing a silver table spoon, the property of Anne Evans, of Queen Street, Rhyl, on the 17th of September last; as the case has created some little excitement, we give it rather fully. Anne Evans examined, swore. — I reside at Queen Street, Ithyl, and on the 17th of September last, had in my possession two silver table spoons like that produced, which I missed. I wellt to a watcher hut could IIOt find none having been offered for sale. On Saturday, the 8th of October, one was brought me by Inspector Davies, which I swear to as my property. My ashpit has not been emptied some time. Evan Davies I saw a rag and hone collector, and on the 14th inst was in Packet Street, Rhyl with John Brown. following our business. When near the Royal Oak, prisoner called to us to buy an old sack, which we a"i eed for; he then took the spoon from his pocket, and asked one shilling for it, which after some hesitation, I gave. At Holywell next day, we offered the spoon to Davies the watchmaker, who retained it and asked its to call in an hour; we did so, and were given into cus- tody I told the police officer the facts, and the justices discharged us on our own recognizances, to appear when calle.! n. 01 John Brown corroborated the evidence of his part- ner job,, Hughes P. O. merely reiterated the statement of the first witness, and apprehension of the orisoner who said he found the spoon in a bye road in some ashes that was lying near Bryntinon, about two "lOnths hdck, He was brought before the magistrates, ;„,d remanded until to-day for further evidence. S rill Thomas, Mrs. Evans's servant, tdtnttned the ,?.n as having cleaned it every week.

ABERGELE, SATURDAY, Oct. 8. Before J. LI. Wynne, jun., and B. W. Wynne, Esqis. Wm, Williams, Pontgarreg, Llanfuirtalhniarn, la- bourer, was charged by Wm. Williams, of the same place, with kicking and pushing him about on the 3rd inst. Complainant swore he gave him no provocation, and he had no right in his house. He was not engaged as a servanthimself being the sole tenant of the farm. Defendant tried to make it appear that complainant was the aggressor, but failed, and was convicted in £3 and costs, or two months' imprisonment. Another charge, arising out of the other, was brought by Catherine Williams, wife of complainant, who stated she was with her husband, when the daughter and de fendant abused and pulled her out of the house, other. wise ill-tl citing her. Defendant endeavoured to explain that he was excited at the time, seeing a strange woman coming to the place, and afraid of losing some property, wishing to have it re- moved before strangers came. Convicted in El penalty for the assault upon the wife -or one month's imprisonment.

THE MUSIC OF NATURE. I know of a pleasnre that leaveth no sting, I know a delight from which sorrows ne'er spring; It glides on the waters, it floats on the air, And lowly and lofty it raptures may share. It dwells in the greenwood, it flies o'er the plain, And drives from the heart thoughts of sorrow and pain; And birds on the branches and bees on the wing; Partake in the pleasure whose praises I sing. It floats o'er the fountains, as sparkling the play, It gladdens the rivers and brightens their way The seas own its blessing as onward they power, And whisper their joy as they kiss the bright shore. It tells us of gladness, and fills us with joy, So pure its delight that it never can cloy And this pleasure, this rapture, that beareth no sting, Is the music of Nature whose praises I sing, Oct. 5th, 1859.

MOLD—HARVEST HOME.—The Harvest Home services were held in M,,I,l C.reli, on ']Fiiursday, Octo her 6th. The morning sermon in English was by the Rev. J. C. Roberts, of Wrexham, and was characterized by great eloquence and power; its main features consist- ed of a dioramic picture of the harvest with its various lights and shadows as reflected by Holy Scripture. The evening sermon in Welsh by the Rev. David Evans, ol Bala, wits also it very striking discourse, founded on Jeremiah viii. 20., wherein the lessons of the harvest were forcibly set forth. The collection towards insuring the Church amounted to Ell. The congregation at both services were very large. This duty of public thauksgiving by special services, is becoming year by year more appreciated in the land, and we are glad to find that there are very few parishes in Wales where this duty is not recognized. WREXHAM.—On Monday night shortly before seven o'clock, loud cries of "Murder" and "Police" were heard to isl1e from Chamber-street, and Inspector Lamb, with P.C. Lawley, who were standing in front "f the County H?tt,ahwy.s from Chamber-St eel, ins?uitty '"u to the spdt, where they found a woman tting in aony on the ground, having received a bow trom a man. The man was ins'nntty apprehended on .he spot, by the police; and medical aid was obtained Otno the woman, but it was of no avail, and she expired in a few moments, an,1 her lifeless body was convejed to the Hand Inn, to await the coroner's inquest. The prison- er's name is Puieston Jickson, and his victim, Rachel Thomas. They are both known as disreputable char- acters, who have spent much of their time inside the walls of Ruthin gaol. At the time this tragedy was oc- currin. the woman h id an infant in her arms, who had been born in Itulhin gaol abllut three weeks ago. The babe was not huit, and was taken to the workhouse on the death of the mother. CONFLAGRATION AT IIENLLAN, NEAI DENBIGH. An alarming and destructive fire took place un Monday night lust, on the premises of Mr. Thomas toiilkes, of lal- dwch, in the parish uf Henllan, county of Denbigh, It appears some sawyers were employed burning straw, to make black for lining the timber, without cautiously stopping a hole in the wall, which communicated with a barn, full of the same combustible material, causing it to ignite, and which being in the ecijtre, was impossible to reach, notwithstanding the application of wet blankets, quilts, &c. The fire having devastated this building, attacked ten stacks of hay and corn standing behind it, which were entirely conslllned, The wind being moder- ate, and blowing in a contrary direction, prevented the other out-buildings and dwelling house from destruction. The sight was awfully grand,—the burning stacks ap- pearing at u distance like cones of fire, and although there was a large body of people ready to render assis- tance, it was of no avail, until its fury became exhausted, and all was a heap of ruins. The damage is estimated at something like £ 40i), including a thrashing machine, which was burnt to a cinder. We have heard there is no part of the property insured, but it was very fortunate that the horses and cattle were out, or they would cer. tainly have been involved in the sad catastrophe. Every one is inclined to commisserate with Mr. Foulkes, who is much respected, and an industrious and inoffensive man. ST.

Smart, Vicar of Henllan; C. W. Heaton, of Plas Heaton, with their Wends and ladies, went by rail on Wednesday, to view the Great Eastern, at Holyhead. It is suggested that the Vale of Clwyd and London and North Western railways, should make some arrangement to allow the National School children to have a sight of the Le- viathan ship after the public are served, and when the novelty has, in a measure, subsided. RUABON.—A committee of gentlemen has last week been formed in Ruabon, for the purpose of taking into consideration the propriety of presenting the Rev. a. M. Bonnor, Vicar of Ruabon, with a suitable tes- timonial, as an appreciation of his past eminent services in the parish of Ruabon, upon his recent appointment to ttje Deanery of St. Asaph. CYNWYD, NEAR CORWEN.-A general thanksgiving for the late bountiful harvest, took place in the parish church, on the 7th inst, Prayers were read by the Rev. H Richardson, Rhug Chapel, and a very appro- priate sermon was delivered by the Rev, Jones, Cu. rate of Llansantffraid, to a crowded congregation. A liberal collection was made at the end of the service to- wards the necessity of the edifice. DNNBRGHSHIRE QUARTER SEssross These Sessions will tie held at Wrexham, on Friday next, when the fol. lowing will take their trial :-Joseph Johnson, 19, and William Webster, 29, uttering base coin Wm. Lloyd, 19, charged with stealing wearing apparel; Jos. Dyson, 38, charged with an attempt at pocket-picking; John Mor- ris, 29, charged with stealing wearing apparel and provi- siozis; Sai-iih Reece, 29, charged with steal ing II sovs., from the person; Edward Williams, an old offender, charged with stealing a gun. There is also a person out on bail, charged with obtaining money under false pre- tences. S'f. ASAPH.—Whether the Local Government Act is necessary here or not, some better supervision ought to be directed against the unwholesome system of killing and vending diseased meat. It is reported on good au- thority, that a pig, known to have been ill a long time, and physicked by its owner, died a few days since, and wus purchased by a butcher, to retail in the usual way, at a figure much under the market price. Instead of such a thing being the current talk of the city, how is it the Inspector under the sanitary regulations, has not seized the meat, and brought the offender against health and decency, to justice A similar case recently oc- curred at Denbigh, where the purfws convicted were, one very heavily filled, and the other imprisoned. LI.ANRHAIADR.YN-MOCHNANT.—The sixth anniver. sary of the" Sons of Brochwel's" Friendly Society, established at the Plough Inn, High-street, in this town, came off on Friday, the 7th inst. The customary pre- liminaries being dispensed with, the members attended Divine Service at St. Dogvan's Church, where the Rev. E, Jones, M.A., Curate, delivered a practical discourse from Luke xvi, and the latter part of the 8th verse:- For the children of this world are in their generation wiser than the children of light. After the Service was over, they returned to the above Inn to enjoy a good dinner, provided by Mr. and Mrs, Edwards-the" Bvr. wyn Brass Bdnd playing some lively airs, which added much to the hilarity of the proceedings. This young fraternity is in a healthful and flourishing condition. Four new recruits were initiated on the above day. RUABON Thanksgiving Services for the Harvest were held at Ruabon Church, on Sunday, tbe 9th inst., when two sermons were preached by the Rev. J. N. Green Armytage, Al. A., Deputation from the Church Pastoral Aid Society, in the course of which special re- ference was made to the late bountiful harvest, which it has pleased the Almighty to bestow upon this country generally. The Rev. gentleman likewise gave several statistical accounts of the working of the Church Pas. toral Aid Society, in a very ueflnt and forcible manner, and energetically appealed to tbe large congregations at both services to do their utinosl to support the above- named excellent Society, both by their contributions and prayers, which appeal was not made in vain, as a better collection was realized, than any that have been made for many years. RUABON.—Last week the inhabitants of the parish of Ruabon were very much pleased to hear that the Rev. T. Thomas, Vicar of Carnarvon, had had the offer of the now vacant Vicarage of Ruabon, and his visit to the Vicarage and parish last week, appeared to confirm the rumour that was abroad and even led many to suppose that be had actually come to take posession of the living, but he left the parish undecided as to his acceptance of the same; and up to Thursday, the 3th inst., nothing definite had transpired,—but the Ruabonites sincerely hope that the rev. gentleman will decide upon his ac- ceptance of the living, as he is an especial favourite in the parish, he having endeared himself to the inhabitants when lie served as curate to the late Vicar Wingfield, ^bout 25 years ago. A more popular choice on the part of the Lord Bishop of St, Asaph could not have been made, than this offer of the living of Ruabon to the Rev. the Vicar of Carnarvon. ST. ASAPH. —SINGULAR APPEARANCE OF TIIE HEAVENS.—About eight o'clock, on Wednesdayeven- ing, the sky was illuminated with an effulgent vapour, radiating in long streaks and flashes of mesecreted light, emanating from the north, and settling over head. as- sumed a beautiful vermillion appearance, resembling vivid flashes of fire At first it was supposed to arise from some adjacent conflagration; but, on a closer inspection, left no doubt but that it was simply the Aurora Borealis, Accustomed as we have been to view this beautiful phe- nomena, in more northern regions, yet we never wit- nessed their presenting such a series of lovely and varie- gated hues, which may, in some measure, be attributed to the moon, which was shining brilliantly at the time. In higher latitudes, their presence is frequent, supposed to be the sun's departing rays reflected from the ice, and is generally the harbinger of fine cold weather; but there is no data on which it can be accounted for in this hemisphere, unless the easterly winds have brought them nearer. They were vanishing, and gradually dis- appeared altogether. CORWEN. — REVISION COLItT.-Oll the 7th instant at the Owain Glyndwr Hotel, Corwen, Thomas Jones Esq.. of the Middle Temple, Barrister-at-law, held the Revision Court of county voters for the district of Cor. wen. The very full attendance of claimants, and others at the Court, which sat from 10 o'clock in the morning, until half-past 3 in the afternoon, was quite a novelty, considering that for a great many years past the annual visitatiun of his Honor, the" revising barrister" had become a mere ceremony, and lost all air of a court for the transaction of public business but hardly few attending besides the parish officials. The liberal in- terest was conducted by William Williams Esq, soli- citor, Corwen, assisted for the day by R. D. Wit iains, Esq" solicitor, Carnarvon, (as advocate), and D. Pugh Fq solicitor, Dolgelley. The conservatives by Win. Lloyd, Esq., solicitor, Ruthin, William Jones, Esq., Crosby Square, London, E. Walker, Esq, solicitor, Dolgelley, and Isaac Gilbertsori, Esq solicitor, Bala The liberal new claims were 66, of which 49 were sus- t lined. Conservative new claims, 49 sustained 28.- Liberal majority of new claims, 28. CuINABILITY of CONSUMPTION, —This insidious dis- ease, sometimes, but incorrectly, described as an English malady produced by the inclemency or sudden change, of our vadable climate, was once considered one 01 the .pp,?b,i? :,i,di.g little or no hope of ,.eli. or cure even in its earliest stge. Now, however, the united opinion ot the Faculty, as well as the happy ex- !,edence of many who have been fortunte enongh t?? ,et with Dr, de Jongh's Light Brown Cod Liver Oil containing some peculiar principle of great fualiug power which no oilier COil Liver Oil possesses, concur in proving that at all periods, and even iu the most un- promising and seemingly dpsplnte cases, the salutary and curative principles of this Oil will arrest the further prl.\gre8 of disease, and revive and restore the sinking patient. Dr. Radclyffe Hall, the eminent Physician to the Hospi'al for Consumption, Torqnay, bears the :,o,?g high te,?ti..ny to iL? i,?t, insic superiority over the pale Oil —" I have no hesitation in saying that I generally prefer your Cod Liver Oil for the following reasons:-I have foulol it to agree better with the di. gestive organs, especially ill those patients who consider themselves to be bilious; it is more palatable to most patients thin the other kinds of Corl Liver Oil; it is stronger, and consequently a smaller dose is sufficient."

CORWEN COUNTY COURT. This Court was held on the 10th mat., before A. j. Johnes, Esq.. Judge. Out of the 19 plaints set down for hearing, the following only were of the least public interest. Davies v. Rev. Mr, Lewis and otbers.-M,r. Adams conducted the plaintiff's case; Mr. Bull, pf Oswestry, instructed by Mr. Croxon, for the detendants. It appeared the plaintiff was lately a schoolmaster at Llansan'.ffraid-Glyn-Cciriog, an d the rev. defendant used to pay his salary. There being some parish land to let, the plaintiff held it, and the rent was usually de. ducted from his salary; ultimately the plaintiff was dismissed from his office, but again took the land at a vestry. Some dispute arose between the defendant an.1 the overseers of the parish about the distribution of the produce of the p ii-isli land-the latter insisting upon their right to receive the rent end see to the ap- plication of it. Since his dismiss il, about three years ago, tha plaintiff paid his rent t6 the overseers. In May, 1859, the rector and his parishioners Wtr still disputing the right to this rent. The overseers, how- ever, received it and went to the vestry, in,isling upon seeing to its proper application, which was refused, and a distress was put in hy Mr. Lewis for the same reiH as had been paid to the overseers. Plaintiff went to Mr. M inslull, of Oswestry, instructing him to replivv the distress. Mr. Minsball and h, Croxon met next. morning, the cow seized was sent baek to the field, and the plaintiff received a note from the defendaut to the purport that as some person had taken aoYay the cow he had agreed to withdraw the distress, in order that the matter might be tried in a court of law." Hence arose the present action, whereby the plaintiff claimed £8 damages. Mr. Adains, with much warmth, commented upon the very awkward feeling existing between the defen- dant and his parishioners, and instead ot settling things as they ought amongst themselves, the plaintiff had been made Bcape goat, and his cow seized and kept from him for four days, for money he had actually paid to the Overseers, the proper officers of the parish. For the defence it was contended that from an old terrier of the parish produced, it was clear the rent belonged to the Churchwardens and Minister for the time being,-that plaintiff had been their tenant for years previously, and paid his rent to the minister but for objects known to himself only, and for IIn- noyance. In consequence of his dismissal, he ha I solici- ted the overseers to receive the rent h'"m him, and as a matter of right, the minister would not consent to that. An agreement for the taking was tendered to be put in to prove the taking at former years from de- fendants; but which, as unstamped, was refused ;—His Honour also thinking that it would in any event be a case of a farthing damages, and for which he gave judgment. Same v. Hugbes.-The defendant is a surgeon for the Llangowen District of the Corwen Union, and this action was brought to recover jel 12ti. 3d., for the use of defendant's school room, for vaccinating children at Llansaintffraid glyn-ceiriog, for 43 weeks at 9d. De- fendant did not appear. Mr. Bull, however, watched the case through he admitted that defendant had not intrusted liini, and called the Rev. Mr. Lewis, who said that Plaintiff had no right to the school room, and that Dr. Hughes had a right to rise it for vaccination, as the pauper relieving station. Mr. Adams urged that as plaintiff's evidence went to show Mr. Hughes had promised to pay personally for the room, and had not thought proper to attend to defend himself, nor instructed any bo ly else to do so, the plaintiff was entitled to a verdict. The case was adjourned, iu order to suspend de- fendant. Lloyd v. Hodges.—The defendant is one of the executors of the late Mrs. Ogilvie, ol Garthmili. Plaintiff was in her service and continue! on with defendant for some time after her decease. His wite also was h usekeeper, and this action was brought to recover £ 4 8s. 8d., for services rendered subsequent to Mrs. Ogilvie's death, to the defendant. It appeared that a dispute arose between defendant and another party, claiming under the will, and defendant was re- fused admission to bis property; but plaintiff alleged that for all that period, his wite was the defendant's servant, and looked after the furniture for him in the house.—Judgment for defendant. Lloyd v. same.-Tliis was a case precisely the same as the other, and met with the same result,- Lloyd's daughter being the plaintiff, and claiming E6 7s. od. Hodges and another v. Rowlands.— Plaiutifls claimed £5 14s. 9d., a proportion of two months' rent, up to the death of Mrs. Ogilvie, as her executors. Defen- dant pleaded a set off of 96 2s. Gd., for coals carried to Garthmeilio, since the death of the testatrix, by the orders of the defendant's servant, plaintiffs in the above actions.—Setof fdisallowed, and judgment for plaintiffs. Same v. Davies.—This was an action brought for 94 18s. 3d. One shilling was paid into court, and a set off claimed for 94 17s. 3d. for repairs upon the estate, which were promised to be allowed by the agent of the landlady, but put off from year to year with the reason that the agent had not seen the work. His Honour gave judgment for plaintiff. Mr. Hodges conducted his own cases, and Mr. Adams was for the tenants and for the plaintiff, Lloyd.

THE GREAT EASTERN AT HOLYHEAD.I The arrival of such a vessel as the Great Eastern at Holyhead is sufficient to tting the whole of North Wales into a fever of excitement, and to set thousands in mo- tion from the populous districts that lie within the sphere of speedy railway communication. The desire to inspect so splendid a specimen of Naval Architecture must be almost universal, and the railway authorities are wisely taking steps to promote the gratification of this very laudable curiosity by making the transit as easy as possible. Swift trains are advertised to run every quarter of an hour along the Holyhead line, and the passengers will have the additional convenience of being franked by one payment from their homes to the ship and back again. We cannot do otherwise than recommend all who can to avail themselves of this favourable opportunity of examining for themselves the greatest wonder afloat. The testing of the powers of the ship on her second trial trip, does not appear to have been so complete as it was announced that it would be. There seems to have been some degree of timidity on the part of Mr. Scott Russell, under whose absolute control the engines were placed, and a disinclination to put all the strain that was intended upon the monstrous ,_ei?l n,ry. Hence the trip was shortened by twenty- four hours, and the vessel, though she has shown what she can do, has not been made to show all that she can accomplish. The ship left Portland at a quarter before four on Saturday afternoon, after some trouble had been experienced in raising her anchor, as the steam machinery for assisting in turning the-capstitti did not work very satisfactorily. Notwithstanding the most strenuous exer- tions, the necessary preparations were with difficulty made in time to allow the vessel to be started for her tt-ii) on the day fixed. There is yet so much to be done on board that it is thought the passage of the Atlantic cannot advisedly be undertaken until the spring of next year. In consequence of the state of unpreparedness in which the vessel was, and partly out of fear of any second mishap, it was wisely resolved that not a single passenger should be received on board, and only those gentlemen accompanitd the vessel whose presence was necessary from their connection with the undertaking. The ship steamed away very slowly at first, down the Channel, towards the Scilly Islanils, wnicn sue reaeoeu about eight o'clock on Sunday morning. Here she first came in contact with the heavy swell of the Atlantic waves, and the notion, upon which so much stress has been laid, that her passengers may defy the attacks of sea sickness was dissipated in a moment. The huge structure pitched and rolled with a dignity perhaps altogether her own, but still after the fu-hion of any "riiiiiary seii-goiiig vessel. A short chopping sea, no matter how violcnt it may be, appears to produce no perceptible effect upon her frame, but the heavy swell of the Atlantic is too much to b" overcome even hy her gigantic bulk Still the progress made by the vessel was most satisfactory, and when studied by the unfurling for the first time of her spacious sails, she went magnificently through the water at the rate of upwards of seventeen miles an hour. The separate trial of her paddle and screw power was made by Mr. Scott Rnssell with the most undisguised reluctance, and only after the repeated and formal requisitions of the Captain and the Directors on board. The result however showed nothing to give rise to any apprehension, as both sets of engines worked well, both in unison and separately, and tbe result of the trial on the whole may be pronounced most satisfactory. The vessel continued under steam during the whole course of her journey, and accomplished the distance from Portland to Holyhead in exactly forty-eight hours, The trip unfortunately was not free from accident, as one of the engine men had his hand crushed off on Sun- day by a portion of the paddle machinery. The result of the trip is calculated to inspire complete confidence as to the capabilities of the ship. The speed attained was above that promised by Ir, Brunei, and there was wisdom in the resolution not to put too great a strain upon the machinery till its soundness in every part has been gradually put to the proof. The vessel has been shown to steer well, and in rough or smooth weather to be as completely under control as any ship a tithe of her dimensions could be. Her ultimate destina- tion for the winter does not appear to have yet been resolved upon, but we would advise all who are medita- ting a visit to the vessel not to defer their journey in the expectation that she will make a long stay at her present berth. It is most probable that after ten or twelve days she will be taken round to Southampton, for the purpose of having her internal fittings completed. When, and for what place she will leave that port, her owners havc not yet decided.

j THE QUEEN'S VISIT TO PENRHYN CASTLE. The adjourned General Meeting of the Committee for celebrating Her Majesty'* Visit to Penrhyn CaHle, was held at the Magistrates' Room, P.M^or. on Saturday morning last, J. V, H, Williams, Esq, in the cTlaTrinvu reported that additional subscriptions had been received since the last meeting, and up to that day, the total sum amounted to £74 14s. 7d. The country collectors stated it was their intention to apply for subscriptions to other gentlemen connected with the city, which the meeting approved of. A letter was read from Mr. Wyatt, apologising for non-attendance. An additional grant of £ 5 would be required for tbe erection and lighting of the two arches, which was unanimously voted. The subject of forming a party to escort Her Majesty through the town was mooted, but was considered im- practicable, and a provision, which did not fall within the province of that Committee to decide. A conversation ensued as to the conditions under which parties who were to be sworn special constables on the above occasion, were to serve, it being the general opinion of lh .se who had volunteered their services, that to commit them to the charge of partieular stations would be very objectionable. Relative to the School arrangements, it was decided that the whole should be left to the consideration of the sub-coininittee. Rev. J. Phillips proposed the substitution of the name of Mr. John Roberts, in lieu of that of Mr, Meshach Roberts, who declined to act on the School Committee, which Mr. G. Jones seconded, and was approved of by the n??tillg- '?Themeetingwas further adjourned to Wednesday last, at 10 o'clock in the morning. THE ADJOUltNED MEETING. On Wednesday morning, the adjourned meeting ot Saturday took place, when the Very Rev. the Dean was voted to the Chair. Mr. Kennedy read the minutes of the previous meet- ing, which were confirmed. Mr. Wyatt called the attention of the meeting to a handbill, which h id been forwarded to him by General Cartwright, announcing the various excursions from dif- ferent parts uf Endall I tu Bangor 011 ihe day, and the days prior to the Queen's Visit; intimating, that if ne- cessary, the police force of this county might be increased by an additional force from Staffordshire. The matter was talked over at some length,and it KM. ultimately resolved, that General Cartwright's commit. nication should be acknowledged, and his proposal sub- mitted to the proper authorities. The number and stations of the different benefit clubs were then briefly discussed, when Mr. Martin intimated that the sub-committee had determined upon placing the entire body to line the road from the Penrhyn Lodge, as far as they would reach, which appeared to give general satisfiction. Mr. Martin suggested that no vehicle should be per- mitted to pass through the main street from three o'clock, till after her Majesty's arrival, and that all pe- destrians should be made to keep to the right. Mr Kennedy thought that this was a inat ter of police regulation. upon the motion of Nir. Simpson, seconded by Mr. James, an additional sum of C.5 was voted for music. Tiie subject of ercetillg a stage for the school children was mooted, and referred to the School Committee, to whom all arjdltional want of £5 was voted. The subscription list was said to amount to about ,f8J.

TilE GaEAT EASTERN AT flof.Yll PAD. --STEA',t TRIPS FUOM LIVERPOOL.—It will lie seen by the an- nouncements in another column that 11r. Lamont has arranged a number of cheap excursion trips, by the City of Aberdeen,' from Liverpool to Holyhead. By the se trips visitors can leave Liverpool in the morning and return each evening, sufficient time being allowed at Holyhead to visit the • Great Eastern.' On Saturday, (to-day) there will be a select pleasure excursion for ca- bin passengers only, which will occupy three days, the passengers embarking at Liverpool on Saturday morning for Bangor, so as to arrive there in time for the recep- tion of the Queen and Royal party, remaining at Bangor all night and over Sunday, and on Monday proceeding to Holyhead, viewing the I Gre"t Eastern,'and returning to Liverpool. The City of Aberdeen' is a tine, strong, and commodious vessel, and every arrangement will be made to contribute to the comfort of the passengers.

DENBIGH, WEDNESDAY, Oct. 12. (Before T. Hughes, Esq.. Chairman, G. Griffith, Esq., and J. Price Eso.) John Evans v. Jloses Hughes.—These parties resid- ed at Heollan, and meeting on the road last Thursday sen night, complainant stated defendant abused him an,1 struck him, upon which, not relishing it, he took off his coat and they fought a round or two. Mr, G, Edwards appeared for defendant, and stated that his client was a respectable and harmless man. The complainant was the aggressor, and finding he got worsted in the fray, gave it up, and now sought his re- venge in a pecuniary way. The Bench being of the same opinion, dismissed the case, much to the chagrin of the former. Richard Edwards v. Ralph Evans, -Complainant is a watcher on the lands of Mr. York, of Dyffryn-Aled, and on the 24th September last, he saw the accused on Mr. Biddulph's lands, at Llansannan. He fired a gun, and was in the act of running back with it in his hand. Defendant then went over the edge into the mountain some grouse rose, and he shot and killed one which he picked up. I called to him to stop, but he ran away, and I followed him home, and found him in the hen house. On challenging him, he said he had as much right to the grouse as me, and if I molested him," he would serve me out." Cross examined by Mr. Louis. I have known defen- dant some time. I had no account with him. I saw him the Saturday before Denbigh fair. It was six o'clock. I was about 40 yards off when I first saw him. He was trying to catch either a hare or a rabbit. When I called him he ran away. By the Bench,-I was about 40 yards from him when he killed the grouse. I havo frequently seen him kill game on his own lands, or that which he farms. Mr. Louis said, his client was a respectable man, and frequently went out with his gun to kill game, which he had an undoubted right to do. If he has offended it was against the watcher, who if he saw him shooting over his master's lands, should have given him into custody. But he should be able to prove an alibi, and shew from clear evidence, that he was at Forest at the time, painting a name-plate, and call his wife and other witnesses to prove it. Jr. C. W. Edwards here objected to receiving the wife's evidence, as the case was a criminal one, and a lengthened discussion, and references to various acts sections, and clauses, tovk phce het ween magistrate, and advocates, who ultimately agreed that it was admiss sable. Mary Evans, wife of defendant, swore, that on the 24th of September, the gun was not off the rack, or in her husband s hands. She keeps two cows, and stays to milk them on Saturdays, and was in the house all day. Her husband was fit Forest. Both Nlr. Iftighes, and J r. Griffith examined this witness at a great length, on the subject of the alihi and five other witnesses were called, who tried to prove defendant's absence on that particular day; but the bench considered the watcher's evidence so strong, that they could not repudiate it. If defeudant had confined himself to his own lands, complainant nii^ht not have interfered but he was justly annoyed <It seeing him shooting over that which he was placed in care (if, and took the opportunity of trying to prevent him in future. They did not think an alibi could be sustained, as the evidence was rather contridictory, and the wile was to interested a witness to place much dependence in. The advocate did not know he had any particular shooting propensities, and this they gave him the bene- fit of; but the decision of the b nch was that he should be fined in t \e mitigated penalty £a and cots. Mr, C. W. Edwards conducted the prosecution, and Mr M. Luuis appeared for the defendant.
