The Right Rev. the Lord Bishop of Bangor has con- sented to become one of the Vice-Presidents of the Bri- tish and Foreign Bible Society. ORDINATION On Sunday last, the Lord Bishop held a public Ordination in the Cathedral, when the fol- lowing were admitted into the Holy Order of Deacons:- Thomas Lewis Williams, of St. David's College, Lam. ter, (liemsed to the Curacy of Llanidloes) and to the Holy Order of Priests- Evan Evans of St. Bees Col- lege, Cumberland, and Curate of Llanwrin, Montgo- merysbire. The Lord Bishop preached an appropriate sermon on the occasion, fro.M 2 Cor. iv. I.

IMPORTANT TO POLICE OFIICKHS.—An important de- cision was delivered last week at the Lincolnshire As- sizes, confirming the right of police-officers to seize and retain goods, supposed by them to have heen stolen. In a case tried before Chief B,iron Pollock and a special jury, a man of the name of Bill sought to recover da- mages for a number of rabbits, seized by the principal officer of police, at Grantham. It appears th'it the plain- tiff had been out with his horse and cart one day, and was returning home with a large quantity of rabbits, (about 85) as well as some nets, pegs, rugs, tar-clotb, &c. The police approached the cart, and insisted upon searching the same, and took possession of it and all its contents, and returned only the horse and cart. His Lordship said, according to the plaintiff's own admission he had made himself liabie to a punishment for misdemeanour, having gone into a gentleman's property, and collected as many as 85 rabbits. The taking of the vehicle by the police, for the purpose of examining its contents, was quite justifiable under the circumstances, a sheep having been feloniously slaughtered in the immediate neighbour- hood, and the character of the owner of the cart being so well known.

The Court for this District was held on Monday last, before C. Winston, Esq., Deputy-Judge. DISPUTE ABOUT A BOUNDARY WALL. J. R. Ellis, Upper Bangor, v. O Owens, Liverpool. Mr. R. D. Williams, (for plaintiff) said this was an action to recover half the expenses of building a boundary wall. The plaintiff and defendant it appears bought two pieces of land in Upper Bangor, but before the former commenced to build, he sent to defendant to know who. ther he would join in the boundary wall, so that each would bear equally the expense. The contiactor had a conversation with the defendant, who agreed to have half of it built on his ground. Alr. Williams then spoke as to the custom which prevailed with regard to boundary walls in this neighbourhood, which was admitted by the defendant, and afterwards called Capt. J. K. Ellis, who stated that he had purchased a piece of land adjoining defendant's, and had entered into a contract with David Jones, for building a house there- on. In consequence of a letter which he had written to Capt. Owens, the latter came over to Bangor, and they had a conversation together. Directed the builder (Da- vid Jones) to go to him to know how he wished to have the wall built. Mr. Thomas Evans was the superin- tendent of the work, which he measured. The gable end was also measured by Mr. Evans. Cro?.-e.amined y Mr. ]<v:ÏI-David Jones built a part of the house. Did not take the contract from Da- vid. Jones, but allowed it to be given up to Owen Jones. Did not say to Owen Jone that he had reason to believe Capt. Owens would let his house upon the same terras. His contract with Owen Jones was £ 168 10s. Re-examined by Mr. R. D. Williams-DIven Jones, before I let the house, was building three houses at the other end. David Jones, in consequence of the annoy- ance he received from Owen Jones, gave tip the contract, and I by that had to pay £2:1 more. David Jones was to get f41 10s. for the part he had done. I only claimed from defendant one gable end. David Jones stated, that he had agreed to build a house for Capt. Ellis. Had conversation with Capt Oivens, who told him to make a wall in the usual way of bounda- ries. Told him also to make the chimneys in the most convenient way possible. Owen Jones was building the other house before he commenced building Capt. Ellis s. Gave up the contract. Cross-examined by Mr. Powell- Capt. Ellis and Owen Jones paid me the money due, for that part of the contract which I did. Was paid for all I did. Re-exami ned Supposing I had finished all the ma- sonry, I would have no claim upon Capt. Owen except for the ehimlleys. Mr. Thomas Evans said he had superintended the work done for Capt. Ellis, which he also measured. A letter in reply to Capt. Owens was here put in, which the defendant admitted was in his hand-writing. Mr. Powell, on bebalf of defendant, detailed the other circumstances of the case. He said these two sets of houses were of exactly the same dimensions, and that the contract entered into by David Jones was not entered into, but given up with alterations in figures, by Owen Jones The latter did to Ellis what he had agreed to do to Owens, upon exactly the same terms. Having taken Ellis's house and the half gable, Owen Jones took the houses from Owens,at exactly the same price, and which he contended included this claim also. If Capt. Ellis succeeded in this action, then his client would be made to pay twice over. Ca?r Owens was called and examined, who said, he had let two houses lo 0. Jones, at il68 ™V*cb' that being the sum which Capt. Ellis had totd ?b..?m he gave for the building of his house. CroM-examined by Mr. ?'?Capt E!tishtto come down from London in consequence of Dav.d J?ones refusing to go on with the building, which was caused by a dispute between him and Owen Jones. Gave DavId Jones permission to build chimneys. Paid his share of the boundary to Mr. W. Ivans. Owen Jones said, he had contracted for the buildillg of two house. for Capt. Owens. When he was treating with Ellis for the erection of his house, Ellis said be would very likely get the contract of .building Owens's also. Told Owens he had taken Ellis's house for £168 IOs. Would not have taken Ellis's for the same money, if he knew he would not get the contract from Owens. Cross-examined by Mr. Williams-Agreed with Owens a day or two before he began to build Ellis s. Admitted having given a tender in before David Jones had taken the contract for ;£ 170. To the Judge-There was a plan to build the house, but he Pd had it in his bands only for a short time. Mr. R. D. Williams made some severe remarks upon tbe last witnouls veracity, rd held up a endehanded in two mwtb* before his having beard of the other eon. tract, and contended that his client's demand had been clearly established. His HONOUR admitted there was considerable diffi- culty in the case, but maintained that the assertion made by defendant's advocate was, as it then stood before him, based upon inference, whilst the plaintiff s case was supported by evidence of such a nature as to induce him to pronounce the verdict in his favour, for the full claim, with witnesses' and advocate's fees. T. E. Williams v. Griffith Williams, Bethesda.- This was an action to recover the sum of E 13, claimed as part purchase money of some leasehold property in Bethesda. Thomas Enoch Williams said that in Murch last year, he disposed of some leasehold property, which was knocked down for jEb9 to defendant, he being at the time the highest bidder. Gave a promisory note for the deposit money, of which he only got £ 1 12s. 6d., and he said he never would pay any more to him. Mr. R. Piitchard, auctioneer, deposed as to the dis- posal of the property in question ro defendant, and ex- plained an item in the bill which be was charged with. The defendant attempted to shew that he was only engaged by the plaintiff himself to bid for the property, and that the £1 12s. 6d. spoken of was money borrowed from plaintiff. He called a witness, a landlady of a public house, who swore to having seen defendant paying plaintiff £1 as a loan, all of which the latter denied. His HONOUR gave judgment for plaintiff,—immediate payment. BANGOR AND BEAUMARIS UNION. ine uuarnians neia tneir usum luiunfiimj IIJt:ClllI on Wednesday last. Present: Mr. C. Bicknell, Chair- man W. Bulkelev Hughes, gsq., Messrs. G. Simpson, W. Thomas, G. D'lvies, Bnrker, W. T. Rogers, J. Morgan, T. Hughes, R. Williams, E. Roberts, R. Evans, J. Jones, H. Pritchard, O. Jones and T. Evans. The CHAIRMAN read the minutes of the last meeting, which were confirmed. A letter from the Poor Law Board was read, having reference to the request made to increase the number of Guardians for the parish of Bangor, stating that the Board having considered all the circumstances of- the case, are prepared to issue an order, as soon after the termination of the general election of Guardians as prac ticable, authorising the election of two additional GUllr- dians for the parish of Bangor, making the total number six." A copy of a resolution passed at a vestry meeting, held in the parish of Llandegai, applying for an increased number of Guardians to represent that parish, was for- warded to the Poor Law Board, and transmitted to the Guardians of this Union, requesting that the Board may be furnished with the observations of the Guardians on the subject of the application referred to. Mr. W. BULKELEY HUGHES, was happy to under stand that the number of Guardians for the parish of Bangor had been increased and he was of opinion that this parish was entitled to more than two additional Guardians,—lie entertained that opinion from finding the parish had so largely increased, which was evident from the call made upon it for the last quarter, amounting to £1,051 2s. 7d. He was of the same opinion with regard to the parish of Llandegai, and would with plea- sure propose an additional Guardian for that parish— Its last call amounted to £ 587 4s. 8Jd., and he be- lieved that to be a much larger sum than on former oc- casions. It was stated in the resolution, that the num- ber of dwelling-houses was almost doubled since the for- mation of the Union, and the population increased in the same ratio. Mr. W. THOMAS was ready to substantiate that state. ment about the parish of Llandegai, and thought an addi- tional Guardian highly necessary. Mr. Jons VORGAS remarked, that if they thought it proper to add to the number of Guardians for tha' parish, why not make a review over all the parishes, and increase their representatives in like manner? It was not fair to favour one parish, and deprive the others. Mr. WM. THOMAS— All the parishes are allowed the same liberty if they go the right and legal way about the matter-first consult a vestry, and then forward the wishes of that vestry before the Board of Guardians, stating their reasons why the number of Guardians should be increased. The Board was then unanimously of opinion, that another Guardian should be elected for the parish of Llandegai. Mr. W. BUI.KELF.Y HUGHI S said that it would not be inopportune for him at present to state, and he was sure they would all be glad to hear, that no expense would be incurred upon this Union in the erection of a chapel in the Denhigh Lunatic Asylum. There was an apprehension intimated that calls would be made upon the several counties towards the maintainance of the Lunatic Asylum, and that this Union would be required to contribute for the erection of a place of worship for the service of the above Institution. During their visit there, not long since, they exercised all the power they had to prevent as much expense as possible, and at first they objected to the resolution providing a chapel, but it was afterwards found necessary, and that there was a balance belonging to the United Fund amounting to upwards of JE400, which would be applied for that pur- pose, and £ 301) more would likewise be appropriated. It was gratifying to them to know that no contributions were required from them. ( Hear, henr.) It was resolved, in conjunction with the Anglsey Union, to memorialize the Board of Trade on the subject of the great expense necessitated on the county from the melancholy event of the loss of the" Royal Charter" The drawing out of the memorial was entrusted to the care of W. Bulkeley Hughes, Esq., to be prepared, sub- ject to the approval of the Board, by the next meeting. A complaint was made by Mr. SIMPSON as to the expenditure of the county. There were sums in the statement of accounts which could not, or rather were not accounted for, consequently, the rate-payers became uneasy and displeased. A letter appeared to that effect in one of the local papers last week. Other counties had furnished the rate-payers with a pamphlet stilting every item, but here they bad no information, and the expendi- ture was lumped into one sum. He hoped some means would be adopted to have a detailed report of the expen- diture of the county. Mr. W. BULKELEY HUGHES was exceedingly sorry that there was only one magistrate m the room, ana ne was forced to raise his voice against such neglect. He assured them that the most rigid examination is always made on the accounts of the county, but as he was not able to attend the Finance Committee at the last Quarter Sessions, he could not explain to them the difficulty referred to in a letter in the last Carnarvolt and Detibiglt Herald. He thought the Guardians should give a little credit to the magistrates for their anxiety to curtail the expenses of the county. He also assured them they did not wish to darken the eyes of the rate-payers in anything belong- ing to their interest and welfare, but were ever most I ready to put as little expense as possible on the county. i He would make it his business, as a magistrate, to attend the next Quarter Sessions, which were not far off, to see into the correctness of the last report of the expenditure of the county, and to enquire if no other means could be procured to give satisfaction to the rate-payers. (Hear, hear.) Mr. GRIFFITH DAVIES having retired from the room for a short time, returned with a small parcel in his hand, stating that it contained an inkstand made out of a portion of the wreck of the ill-fated I Royal Charter" and which he intended to present to the Board, if they would condescend to accept it. The material was given to him by a friend, and it came into his mind to convert it to the article then produced, thinking that it would be a striking memorial of the awful event. The parcel was then handed to the CHAIRMAN, who, having opened it, examined the inkstand, and pronounced it to be a very handsome present. It was about Win. in circumference, of lignumvitse wood, with a thick brass collar round the upper end, with the following inscription thereon -11 From the wreck of the Royal Charter, 26th October, 1859. Presented to the Board of Guardians of the Bingorand Beaumaris Union, by Griffith Davies. guardian, Match, 1860." The inkstand on the whole was a most refined piece of workmanship, and would be a novelty for anybody to witness, Mr. W. BUI.KELEY HUGHES rose to propose a vote of thanks to their esteemed and respected friend, Mr. G, Davies, for an appendage which was so very necessary- humourously holding up an insignificant glass inkstand, which had been in use there for a long period. The CHAIRMAN seconded the motion, and one and all seemed highly gratified. The porter of the Workhouse made an application to increase bis salary (je20 a year, with board, lodging, and washing), but the Board objected, stating that it had been the salary always given, and considered amply sufficient.

ABERDOVEY. I THE MANSLAUGHTER CASE.-A sad affair happened on Tuesday the 13th inst., in this unusually quiet little town. A man named Humphrey Humphreys, a coai merchant, was killed by Capt. Ellis Roberts, master of tbe cutter" Dudgeon," by being struck on the head with a caulking mallet. An inquest was held on Wednesday, before E. J. Williams, Esq., Coroner, and a re- .pee ab)e jury, which resulted in a ?erdiet °?'sh? 1 I. nPAlt 8vmnathv waR felt against bills rwuens, iui wuun.

BETHESDA. I THE REVIVAL in this neighbourhood is now almost over, and in a few months will have been quite forgotten. The volunteer movement appears to have taken its place. This town is rapidly increasing, building is carried on in several parts, especially in the upper part of the town. Several cottages on Bryneg- lwys (Hon. Col. Pennant's property) are in course of erection, and when the whole are completed, will form the prettiest part of Bethesda.

COUNTY COURT, Wednesday, March 21, Davies, Esq Deputy Judge. There were 80 plaints entered, and about 50 set down for hearing. Edmunds v. Newsome.—Debt t9 7s due for wages. Mr. LI. Turner for plaintiff, and Mr. E. G. Powcli for defendant. The principal witness Mr. Bownus said, he was agent to the Talysarn Quarries in 1857, and under the defend- ant's authority, engaged the plaintiff as clerk, and also as an assistant loader on the Quay at Carnarvon. The amount claimed was for wages due for those services. Richard Williams, the loader on tho quay at that time, corroborated Bownus' statement. Mr. Turner then read several letters from the defend- ant, addressed respectively to both witnesses, proving they had his authority to employ the plaintiff or any other party they required. Mr. Powell in cross-examining the witness Bownus, commented severely on the evidence now given, as it was so contradictory to that which he gave on a former occassion, when other parties were sued for work done on the Talysarn Quarries at the same period; he re- gretted he could not get at the Judge's notes taken at that time for he should then be able very easily to prove from them, that the evidence he then gave on his oath was contradictory to what he had now come for- ward to swear. The Judge remarked, from the evidence then given, he must give the verdict for the plaintiff. Davies v. Owen. Tbis was an action to recover 93 4s., for a sack of flour supplied to defendant's mother, for which defendant's grandmother was responsible. It was admitted that defendant was executrix of her grand- mother's property, and a verdict was consequently given for the plaintiff. Mr. Turner for plaintiff. W. Williams v. Hugh Morgans.-Debt claimed jCt 158.- Verdict for defendant. The Judge remarked, that had the defendant told his wife the facts, this action would not have been defended. Mr. Turner for defendant. There was no other action worth any comment. PETTY SESSIONS, SATURDAY, March 17. -Before Lord Newborough, Rev, .Wynne Williams, W, Bulkeley Hughes, and C. J. Sampson, Esqrs. Robt. Roberts, Efailbach, near Glangwna gate, was fined £1 and costs, (being his second offence,) for selling beers at illegal hours. The constable stated he was tipsy at the time. His Lordship requested the inspector to make a me- morandum of this conviction for the next licensing day. Cath. Jones (adjourned case for stealing a pair of shoes,) who lived at Llanbabo, being unable to produce u witnpss. was committed for two months. There were a large number of appeals against the poor-rate, in consequence of the new valuation of the parish, none of which were of any purport worth public notice. PETTY SESSIONS, MONDAY, March 19.-hefore LI. Turner, Esq., Mayor, and E. Edwards, Esq. Hugh Williams, butcher, was charged with being drunk and disorderly in Bridge-street. This man was fined for a simitar offence a week ago. The ivife of the accused begged hard that he might be let off with a fine, which she was prepared to pay. The MAYOR said that they could not allow this man to prowl about the streets in a state of continual drunkenness, a nuisance to everyone. They were sorry for his poor wife who worked hard while he got drunk. The greatest kindness to her and to him would be imprisonment. The present law was quite inadequate tu pal down drunkenness but. he hoped the Local Government Act would be in force here in a very short time: this wholesome Act would give the magistrates power to punish drunkards without punishing their innocent wives and children. The ac- cused must go to gaol until next sessions, or give bail for his good behaviour. The sureties not being forthcoming, the accused was removed to prison.

I DOLBENMAEN. CURIOUS COINCIDENCE. -in the churchyard of this parish on Monday last, were buried at the same time two paupers, William Lewis, and Ann Jones, who lived beneath the same roof, and died the same hour, at the same advanced age of 83. The deceased were no relation to each other.

LLANENDDWYN. AN EXAMPLE WORTHY OF BEING RECORDED AND IMI- TATED. Thc parish Church of Llanenddwyn. Merion. ethshire. had been for some years in a very dilapidated state. A church rate was applied for towards its restor- ation, but the rate was refused. Seeing this and feeling for his old mother church, a sincle individual, a gentle- man farmer, of the said parish (Griffith Davies, Esq.; of Taitherddynbach) nobly came forward with a cheerful heart and open purse, and undertook the laudable work of repairing the outside. He commenced by building a very handsome entrance porch into the church-yard, two new windows on the south side, and a very neat door into the church, corresponding in style with the entrance porch he has also completed the re-roofing of the whole church, with the best Ffestiniog slates, and not satisfied with this, he is now preparing stones to re build the belfry, and about setting a very handsome iron gate in the said entrance porch; and all, when completed, entirely at his own expense, with the exception of £14. Our correspondent adds: Reader, go thott and do likewise.' Shoutd this meet the eye of any cheerful well-wisher of the church, their contributions will be gratefully received and acknowledged by the said G. Davies, Esq., Churcb- warden, or E. Jones, Rector of the said pairisli."

LLANRWST. PETTY SESSIONS, MONDAY, March 19th, before Ad miral Watling, and R. 0. Moulsdale, Esq. -i Asqauk Case '-Geo. Thomas, ? ?< Wm. Foulkes for an MMU't; and v. Nathaniel JonM for aid. ing d abetting. ?'e?cer bfing -worn, deposed, that being on duty at Cofwyn ?wherehe is stationed) on the night of the ?thu? between II and 12 o'clock, saw the prisoner ulong with others, not yet in custody, standing together near the Plough public house, where there had been that evening a bouse warming supper. Tbe persons he lIaw were insulting a rather imbecile old man, an inoffensive character, by pulling him about and performing that fete culled" bon netting," that is, by knocking the old man: s hat down over his eyes. The officer called to the old man. whose name is Abel Jones, and told him he would take him home. Went with him about 50 yards. The prisoner Foulkes and one Aneurin Jones (one of those not in custody) followed and pulled the old man by the arm, and told him be was going the wrong way for his home. The officer asked them to be quiet. Foulkes d-d him, and made a blow at him; struck and kicked him several times. Then the rest of the crew, with Nathaniel Jones at their bead, came and launched a shower of stones at him. When he got near a house he laid hold of Foulkes until the woman of the house brought a light, when he dragged the prisoner into the cottage, where he was enabled to know who he bad in custody. H, James, fcsq., solicitor, wuu woo for the prisoners, defended them in a very ingenious manner; but the Bench took a different view of the brutal uttack,-convicted the prisoners, and sentenced them to pay each a fine of C2, with I Is. 6d. costs or to two months' imprisonment, to convince them that such conduct in future towards the police would most as- suredly subject them to a much heavier amount of punish- ment.

Pemberton, Esq. The coroners' and other bills having been examined, the attention of the Court was directed to a bill amount- ing to £6 Os. 8rl., presented from the St. Asaph division, for expenses incurred in the formation of the Volunteer Rifle Corps, which occasioned some discussion. Capt. THOMAS supported the application as being fair and legitimate. It includes the expenses of printing and advertising in commencing the meetings held before the coips were formd. Mr. BANKES thought the various committees through- out the county ought to bear those expenses. Ratepayers from other districts where the expenses had alrea ly been paid by means of voluntary subscriptions, in case this III" plication was granted, wou!d have to pay double. Capt. TnoMAs thought tbi. il circumstances consi- dered, the best plan. Many opposed the movement and declined to contribute anything; but, by charging the expense upon the county, all would have to bear an equal share. Supposing the movement to have turned out a failure, then the preliminary expenses would have fallen upon the Lord-Lieutenant, which would not have been very fair. Mr Sissoy observed, that Sir Stephen Glyiine, in his iJallRcityas Lord- Lieutenant of the county, had commu- nicated upon the matter with the magistrates assembled in each petty sessional division, desiring them to issue handbills, &c., for calling meetings, which was done itc. cordiiigly and it was thought there would have been no ubietcio.i ror the county to defray expenses legitimately incurred bv the magistrates in so doing. LORD MOSTYN looked upon the application as being a very novel one. The Government, who sanctioned the movement, afforded them no pecuniary assistance, and he did not see the county should do so either. The CHAIRMAN said, it appeared to be the general opinion of the magistrates, in which he also joined, the application did not come within their province to grant, and tbe account was rejected. GAOL COMMITTEE. The subject of a new arrangement lor supplying the County Gaol with water, was brought before the meeting by Col. ROWLEY. It appears that the Messrs. Eyton offered a lease to supply the building with water, for the term of 33 years, on certain conditions, which were not deemed altogether very satisfactory. A lease wa consi. dered to be of no use to the county, unless advantages were also secured. The subject was, however, deferred for consideration until the following day. COUNTY BRIDGES. The SURVEYOR, in reading his report, recommended the repair of Rliuddlaa bridge, which was adopted. He aiso reported the state of Pentremoch bridge, which suf. fered in consequence of undermining operations, but re- commended no alteration or repairs with regard thereto at present. THE ESTIMATED EXPENDITURE OF THE ENSUING QUARTER. Mr. SISSON read the estimates for the next quarter, from which it appeared that there was the sum of 94-27 in the hands of the Treasurer after the payment of all past accounts, towards the following quarter, which, with the Government allowances, would amount to 4569 1 Is. 3d. The expenditure, altogether, would amount to £ 1090 5i. 6d.. so that in all the sum of £800 was re- quired, leaving in the hands of the Treasurer the usual balance. Sir PrERs MOSTrN stated that a police rate, so that the expense might not fall heavily on the following quar- ter, of 1:500, was required. TREASURY ALLOWANCES. The CLEIIIt of the PEACE, in reply to a question from LOIm MOSTYN, explained the position of the county with regard to the Government allowance in criminal prosecutions, and produced a long correspondence in re- ference to some eases in Wrexham, in three out of four of which he (the Clerk of the Peace) had allowed the usual charges. The mode adopted in the taxation of bills for criminal cases he designiitedag most unreasonable. Mr. KEATBS inquired if there was any probability of 'a change likely to check all this. He said, that in a late case, of which he was the prosecutor, hp had to pay £ 12 out of his own pocket. Such an expense would have induced many not tp prosecute at all. Capt. THOMAS gave an, instance of a case which oc. curred at CIVIn, near St. Asaph, where only 5s. was al- lowed for the carting of timber to Mold, for the purposes of prosecution which actually cost 2?5s. The CI.ERK of the PEACE said, he had called at the office in London a few days ago, where he went through a great number of bills, and though he pointed out to the three persons appointed by the Treasury for taxing the county bills, that they bad been proceeding for the last three years upon a wrong table (a new table having been adopted in 1852) they declined to return anything for the year 1858. For last year they promised to return some- thing. SALE OF GAS BILL. Mr. KEATES inquired if it was not imperative that they should notice the requirements of the Act recently passed for the sale of gas, and appoint an inspector of meters for the county t The CLERK OF THE PEACE replied, that attention woul& have been directed to the subject, bad Mr. Richards (the. Chairman) been present. Mr. KEATS observed, unless the thing was attended to at once, the Secretary of State, in all probability, would take it in hand, and fix an inspector at such a salary as they would not like. He had lately two meters, which he Was certain (though he could not de- monstrate the fact mathematically) were wrong. He had them replaced lately by two new ones, and the con- sequence was, a saving to him of 20 per cent, in the consumption of gas. Lord MOSTYN' inquired if an inspector had been ap- pointed at Chester, to which Mr. PENSON (the surveyor) replied, that no one was appointed yet, but the city sur- veyor did the duties pro tem. Mr. TBEVOR ROPER thought it rather hard that the country districts should be taxed for the support of an inspector of gas, whilst no gas was used there. The CHAIRMAN then read the 4th clause of the Sale of Gas Bill, which was to come in force nine months after the passing of the Act. [The Act was passed in August, 1859.] Lord MOBTITN further inquired, supposing the county to have neglected the appointment, was it enacted lb. Secretary of State was to appoint an inspector ? The CHAIRMAN read the 7th clause of the Act, but Medtoperceite any provision in the ease of the non- appointment by the county. '?'?::?'??S'?.t in C-?ter. ?.00 had b??,, voted by the dty for the deposit of th<> apparatus, &c. A doubt also existed as to whether the Act was com- pnlsoryor not; and after some conversation, the matter dropped. THE COUNTY POLICE FOlltb. The CHIEF CONSTABLE read his quarterly statement, ending the 29th February, 1800 from which it appeared that the wages for the three divisions of the county, amounted to C324 5s 91. conveyance of prisoners, (to the credit of the police rate), £ 7 19s. 9d sums re- ceived for the execution of warrants, (DISO paid to thc, credit of the police rat?,) £ 22 10s. 2d.; summary of contineencies, ESr, 19s Id. sums for moieties of penal- ties, &c., received by the Chief Constable (to the crcdit of superinuatioii fund) £ 19 18s. 2d.

The Chief Constable had great pleasure to observe the diminution of crime in the county, and a considerable decrease in the number of cases. He called their Worships' attention to the state of the lock-up houses in the county; especially that of Holywell and Mold. The latter, he observed, was very imperfectly and expensively heated. The cells at Hawarden and Rhiid'llan were also said to be very damp. A conversation ensued as to the requisite improve- ments in the above-named lock-up-bouses, which were ultimately referred to the County Surveyor. THURSDAY.

T?ie other was a charge of stealing some crockery and furniture, which were rente d by one party to another. But whether the property belonged to the lessee or lessor made no difference, if they thought there were sufficient grounds for the trial, they would return into court with a true bill against the person charged. STEALING TIMBER. David Jones pleaded not guilty to having stolen, on the 21st October, 1859, at, the parish of lrenierchioii, 155 feet of timber, 3 pieces of timber boards, 3 timber planks, 2 flooring boards, shirting board 4 roofing boards, 1 piece ol timber, 4 pieces of board, I plank, and a quantity of sawed timber, of the goods aud chat- tel. f Mr. C. W. WYatt- MR. CAIN PARRY appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. SWETENHAM for the defence. Inspector Rees Davies deposed—that having sus- picions on the prisoner, he entered his hause one day in October last, and found several of the above pieces of timber concealed under and on the top of the bed. Thev corresponded exactly with those lost from the premises of Mr. Wyatt. The prisoner saia lie naa bought them from a person of the name of William Hughe, Rhuddlan, about a year and a half ago, and were sawed by Edwin Williams. When taken into custody he said he was very sorry lor it, and offered him a sovereign for dealing as leniently as possible wil,h him. P.C. mM.inley deposed to "hav.ing f.ound i8 np- ieces of the timber concealed in a barn on the prisoner's PrS Lewis Davies, St. Asaph, ii ,Ioi,,er employed by Mr. Wyatt, said he bought some timber at Conway for that gentleman, all of which, except the roofing spars, were placed in an enclosed yard. The timber found in prisoner's house corresponded with those of Mr. Wyatt's. Did not know that any was missing until some was found In the possession of the prisoner, which he identified as Mr. Wyatt's from the knots seen in some of the boards produced. The pieces brought from the building exactly corresponded with those found in the possession of the prisoner. By Mr SWETENHAM-Sl)me of the roofing spars did not correspond they were too short, Edwin Williams, a carpenter, living at Brynbella, said he sawed timber for defendant two years last No- vember. It was yellow deal. That produced is yel- low 1-ine. Mr. SWETENIIAM admitted there was considerable suspicion attached to the prisoner as the case then stood; but contended there was not a tittle of evidence, except that of the dumb boards produced to prove that the prisoner had feloniously stolen that property. The nrisonur was a respectable man, a freeholder in the unty and it was absurd that he would have for- feited his character for such a pahry thing. No one had ever seen him on the premises where the timber was and moreover he was able to bring witnesses for- ward who would testify to having seen such pieces of timber in the prisoner's house long before any timber was lost from Mr. Wyatt's. He called John Jones, farmer, near Denbigh, brother to de- fendant—Remembered his brother buying some timber in 1857, which was conveyed by his own cart to the prisoner's residence. Could not say whether it was yellow or white. Ellen Roberts, a midwife, who had attended the prisoner's wife in July, noticed several pieces of boards similar to those produced on the bed and at the sides thereof. Martha Jones was staying at the prisoner's at the time of the corn harvest last year. Remembered see. ing several boards then on the top and under the bed. Several witnesses to character were called, after which Mr. PARRY addressed the Jury, and The CHAIRMAN summed up and went over the lead- ing features of the case, which, from the respectability of the prisoner, and the quantity of "timber alleged to have been stolen, was a very important one. He com- mented upon the absence of tbe person from whom the timber found upon the premises of the prisoner was said to have been stolen, the wetness of the timber when found, and the remark made by the prisoner to the Inspector. He also called the attention of the Jury to all the circumstances detailed tending to ex- culpate the prisoner anil. in conclusion, expressed a hope that they would take the whole evidence into their serious consideration and return a verdict ac cordingly. The Jury (through their foreman), after a brief con- sultation, returned the following verdict, which pro- duced considerable hlllhter iu Court: "As there is no proper witness who sees 'm taken them things, we must say he is Not Guilty." The prisoner, after being suitably cautioned by the CHAIRMAN, was acquitted. STEALING MONEY. Elizabeth Smith pleaded Not Guilty to having sto- len, on the 8th February last, eight shillings and one penny half-penny, the monies of one Peier Roberts, at the parish of Tremeirchion. Mr. SWETENHAM conducted the case for the prose- cution, and Mr. HORATIO LLOYD (at the desire of the Court) defended the prisoner. Mr. SWETENHAM detailed the facts of the case to the Jury, from which it appeared that Margaret Ro- berts. the first witness he would have to call, lived with her mother, and one day in February last no one ex- cept herself being present at the time, the prisoner called in the house with a basket, and asked permission to light her pipe; she also asked for a piece ot bread,— and whilst Margaret Roberts was in the act of reach- ing the bread, the prisoner, in lighting her pipe, must have taken the above sum of money, which had been brought there a short time previously by a little boy, wrapped up in a paper, and placed on the hob. In a few minutes after the prisoner had left, she found that the money had gone, whereupon she immediately called her brother from a field close by, and they went to- gether in search of the prisoner, who was soon appre- hended. She remarked to the brother, God ¡¡pre. I hav'nt taken; if you will not be cruel to vonr sister I will teU you aU about !t." She then took ilie s:o:ev out, and handed it to the parish constable. Margaret Roberts, Peter Roberts, Elixa Roberts, and Edward Davies, having Sworn to the above facts, Mr. H. LLOYD addressed the Jury for the prisoner, and suggested the possibility of the money having been given to the prisoner by Miss Roberts in consideration of her services as fortune teller, which was a very con- sistent story of the prisoner's. It was admitted the poor woman had been in the house for ten minutes, and it was not likely a gipsy would bale remained till r" so lung for nothing. The CHAIRMAN very lucidly summed up, and the- Jury returned a verdict or Guilty. Committed to three months' hard labour. Tlie bill against. Hamiaii Williams, for stealing* furniture, &c., was ignored. This concluded the business of the sessions.

RHYL. VALE OF CI.WYD RIFLE CORPS. —A Committee meeting was held on Saturday last, I1t the Town Hall>, Rhyl. Present Captain Thomas in the chair; Shipley; Cornvy, IJsq„ John Sisson, Esq., T. Sleight, Esq., — Fisbivick, iisq., T. K. Roberts, Esq., and T. P. Lloyd,. Esq. It was agreed to send the lists produced from the different divisions to Col. Wynn, to be by him for- warded to the Lord- Lieutcuiiu". The thanks of the genertl committee were give. to the local committees of Prestatyn, Rhyl, and St. Asaph, by a resolntion which announced that the object for which they were appointed having been gained, they were fortnwith dissolved-and that the Secretary send in an account of any claim upon the General COlllmittee for immediate payment. Ilr. Roberts, of Rose Hill, St. Asaph, was appointed Secre- tary to tbe Genera! Com nittee. A vote of thanks wai given to Mr. Pierce, for the great trouble lie had taken while acting as Secretary to the general committee. ANTI-Cuuaai RATE MEETING.—A public meeting was'held in the Calvinistic chapel here, on the loth inst., for the purpose of petitioning Parliament in favour of the abolition of churrli-rates—Mr. Hugh Pierce, tailor, ill the chair. The following resolution was proposed by Mr. Davies, seconded by Mr. John G. Owens, Baptist preacher—" That this meeting views church-rates as an impost unjust in its character, as well as injurious in its influence." Proposed by Nlr. John Williams, iron monger, seconded by Mr. A. Francis.—" That this meetmg approves of Sir J. Trelawny's bill now before Parliament, for the total abolition of church rates."— Proposed by Mr. D. LI. I'loyi, anrt seconded by Mr. R. Tho!niis, Thdt the petition lie forwarded to the Hon. Mr. Mostyn. M. P. for the county, with a request that he would exert his influence in favour of the Bill." The meeting was thinly attended, and all separated without as much as thanking the chairman for his con- duct in the chair. I doubt if half the proposers and the seconders had ever paid one jionny "f clinreli rate. Communicated.

IWABO. ELECTION OF GUARDIANS OF THE POOR. On Friday the Kith inst., a public vestry was held at the Court HOllse, Ruabon, for the purpose of nominating Guar- dians of the poor for the ensuing year; with a view or saving to the parish tlie expense of an election, which usnally costs between 1:20 and £30. The vestry was a full one, and it appeared to be the wish of all, that fit and proper persons should be there and then nomiinited for the purpose above mentioned. Accordingly n\e gentlemen were nowinuted, uud iwiuniinously agited to. And it is the hope (especially of those who attended the vestry) that this public nomination may satisfy the parish, and that an election may he avoided. It was also pro- posed by Nlr. Joziathi Jonas, one of the present Guar- dians, and unanimously agreed to. that the Poor Law Board should be petitioned to sanction the appointment ot three additional Guanlians, making a total of eight for the entire parish of Ruabon.

THE UP-AS OF ST. ASAPH ON THE LITURGY.On Sunday evening last, the De .n of St. Asaph preached the second sermon on this interesting subject. The text was the same as on the previous occasion, the 13th verse of the 1st chapter of the -2nd epistle of ?mothy. Hold fast the form of sound worls which thou hast heard of me lie would on this occasion point out a few good reasons for holding fast the form of sound words The I .?.?l:.A Liturgy was not tlie prouucuolI Ul um: mum, UVI. >.«= compiled when the church was sleeping. It was pro- duced at a time when the spirit of God was abundantly poured forth in the midst of persecution and martyrdom. It was compiled by men who sealed their faith with their blood-mell who were endowed with no ordinary share of wisdom and judgment They had reason to, believe that a Common Prayer was in use before the Church of Rome sprang up and before dissent was known, and that the custom of repeating aloud was then in existence. iMany of the responses of the present Prayer Book, such as Lord have mercy upon us," The Lord be with yon," formed part of a form of prayer anciently used when every bishop had a service of his own. In this way a Gallic form of about the year 500 became adopted here and because the Roman Catholics had also used thin in the compilation of their prayers, some thought that our reformers borrowed from the Roman Catholics; but tlrs was not so. At the time of the Reformation, a trad called the "Kings Primer," prepared the way for the present Prayer Book, and Edward the Sixth issued a commission to draw up the Liturgy in English. The most prominent members were Cranmer and Ridley, who displayed great humility and talent. They did not throw the Roman Catholic liturgy aside-there was much of it that was good derived from the Gitllic,all the portions of our own Liturgy similar to the Roman Catholic. Two years after this the Liturgy was revised by the said compilers, with the addition of Latimer, and then came the reign of Mary, when these pious men sealed their testimony with their blood. It was also revised and slightly altered in the reign of Elizabeth, an,1 also at the Restoration, ana from that time it has been handed down from posterity to posterity. Another advantage of having a Common Prayer was very beautifully touched upon, that of the faithful Christian knowing that thousands and tens of thousands were with the same mind and one sirit offering up the same prayers to the same God and Father of ull. One of the greatest ex- cellencies, however, of the Prayer Book, was its adaptation to the wants of all, rich and poor, young or old, ill or well, joyful or sorrowful, all would find in the Prayer Book the most beautiful language, in which they might take part. In fact, the difficulty was to find what was not prayed for in the Prayer Book, every evil was deprecated, and every blessing asked. All m inkind was prayed for, Jews, Turks, Infidels, pris, ne 8 and captives, persecutors and slanderers, all were piay d for. But the Prayer Book was only suited to the Christian. No one else could appreciate its blessings; and every- thing the Christian oiuht to require was asked for. Many wanted and might pray for that which they ought not to have. If they were to sit down and make a list of all the possible requirements of a Christian, they would find them in some shape or other in the Prayer Book. If they would put it to the proof they would find it really a book of prayer, containing a catalogue of all that a Christian could require. It was always an available guide by which to lay their petitions before God. They should study it, and learn from it what Christian desires really ought to be. There were many things which they repeated without having sufficient faith and spirit what they were saying, such as Thy Kingdom come," or, We besceech Thee to accomplish the number of Thine elect," and other sentences in the burial service. If they would look into their heart: they would find that the prayers were too spiritual. There were many intercessions, especially for their rulers, which were not properly understood for want of charity, that charity which seeketh not its own. If then the language of the Prayer Book was too, spiritual, how could they expect to join in that above ? The Very rev. gentleman delivered the lecture with much force and feeling. He occupied the earitest attention of a large congregation for 25 minutes.

TOWYN. NUPTIAL REJOICINGS.—On the 14th inst., Mr. Lloyd, a native of this town, eldest son of Mr. John Lloyd, was married to Martha, second daughter of Mr, Edward Jonathan, of Llangefni. The inhabitants of Towyn hearing that the newly married pair intended to visit the place on Monday, a great number of them cheered them on their entrance to the town and the bells of St. Cadvans poured fourth their silvery notes. A splendid supper was provided at the Black Lion Hotel, and a few friends invited. The room was handsomely decorated with n ottoes appropriate for the occasion, and interspersed with flowers and evergreens.

WELSHPOOL. FUNERAL OF TUB LATE BARON WATSON.—The more tal remains of this much-lamented judge, whose sudden demise cast a gloom over the town and neighbourhood of Welshpool, were interred at an early hour on Saturday morning last, in the cemetery attached to the New Church, in that town. The funeral was conducted with strict privacy. The undertakers, we believe,. wele Messrs. G. Parker and Sons, of Welshpool.
