It has been puffed with skill and perseverance but really praise can scarcely exceed its merits. It occupies a prominent place in the Guide Books to North Wales, and besides, it has Guide Books of its own, which are perhaps unrivalled. Llandudno is goinga-head at an amazing pace. It is said, very trvly, that "the start of Llandudno into life has been well regiiited." We think it must be beyond comparison the best regulated place in the British Isles. The climate of Dandudno is shown by irrefragable facts and arguments to possets exceptional ftlubrity. -Saturday Review, Oct. 1861. LLANDUDNO GUIDE BOOKS.

TO THE MAGISTRATES OF THE COUNTIES OF ANGLESEY AND CARNARVONSHIRE. Mv Lords and gentleman,—X beg most respectfully to call your attention to the grievance occasioned by-the in. equalities of the present valuation of parishes to the county rates in the above counties to a numerous class ot ratepayer8. T? suni paid b' the Bangor and Beaumaris Union in oolice and county rates for the la<t three years averaged £ 1933 annually. The declared value of property on which the above sum ia levied is in round numbers, C87628. Therefore, the police and county rates come to 5|d. per p mil l per annum, on the rateable property of the union. Tae common charges in the said Union amounted for the year en.led List,Lady day to £ 6191. This sum will for the future be levied on the several parishes comprised hi the lTiitoii, according to their declared valuation to the county rate. These common charges then amounted last year to la. oil. in the pound on the declared valuation of property. Taking into consideration that many items for the future are to be included in the common charges, s'ich as the maintenance of lunatics, and the three years irremovable poor, &c., which were not included in the same hit year, it is nioro than likolv that they will amount this year in Bangor an l Beaumaris Uniun to la 6d. in the pound on the declared value of property. It is very likely also that the county alld police rate, ea. pecially in Carnarvonshire, will amount, for some years to conie, to 6d. in the jwund. Therefore, I may safely »w that the common charges of a union aud the police and county rate will be a charge of 2s. in the pound on the present declared value of property in your respective counties. Accordingly, if a parish is valued £ 11)00 less in proiMjrtiou to other than its real value, it will have to pay £ 100 annually, le« than its just share towards the common charges and the pulice and county iT any one would take the trouble to compare the de- ehret value of with its present real value, he would find that this parish alone is undervalued b' the grand Mum of £ 5000 ?Th?me may be said of the parish of Bangor, in con- bequenee of which this parish alone pays less than its fair quota by towards the common charges aul the police and county rates, while other parishes that are differently valued pay more than they ought by the said sum. Anglesey has been nure recjntly valued than Car- narvonshire, I cannot count the inequality of parishes there by the thousands but it could be easily done by scores if not by hundreds. I know of one parish that contemplates appealing against its valuation. There is another parish, Llanfaes, a part of it is in the borough of Beaumaris, another part is not, but this part is not rated to the county rate as it ought to be. Without instancing more cases it seeuis clear to me tint a new valuation ought to be made for these counties with nit any further delay. May I humbly beg your worships to redress these grievances that press so hard on poor ratepayers. I aiii, &c., your Scrv;tnt, I am. &c" your humble Servant, C"duaut, Jtll' U, 18(j2. JOHN MORGAN.

DAILY PRAYERS IN THE BANGOR CATHEDRAL. To the Editor of the North Wales Chronicle. Sir,—Will you allow uio through the medium of your valuable paper, to state with what sorrow I noticed dur- ing the hist three months, the scanty attendance at the Daily Prayers in the Cathedral. Sometimes I would lie,' one or two besides the ofifcers of the Church, who are paid for their attendance, and at other times but a very few females scattered here and there. flbv I ask, fr. Editor, are there no tradesmen of the t>wn,' who could not devote even half an hour of their time (bily, or at least twice a week, in praising their Creator in his Holy Temple 1 Nay, I say, are there no Parish Priests and their families who could join these few in imploring <;od's blessing ? What is the reason tint the beautiful Service of the Church is neglected, even by her own members ? When will the arouse out of their slumber, concern- ing so important a work ? Will they allow strangers who visit their city, to be their example ? I am. Sir, your-. &c., A STRANGER.

THE MUMMY PEA. To the Editor of the North Wales Cltronicle. Sir,- I ain happy to find that the paragraph I sent you in reference to the Mummy Pea has roused into active life the latent scepticism of one of your correspon- dCllt, who signs himself, prefixed with HumeroUs iuiti,,11f, .Society." I am rather partial to society in general, and I trust this particular example will turn out to be a "good" one. The fact that one individual can form himself into a "Society" is about as extraordinary as anything which I or any other man can write or say about a pea! "Society" doubtfl everything which I wrote on the subject, and virtually insists there must be deoeptipn or downright untruths somewhere. Will he have the good. ness to read over the paragraph again, and note what there is stated therein I said that Dr. Jones Williams, of Pwllheli, was in Oportu in the year 1851; that he was present amongst others at the unrolling of a mummy: that in his presence a quantity of peM were found in the th»t he secured about 12 of them, and packed Uiem up amllabelled them on the spot. The little par- ed was placed amongst other articles belonging to Dr. Williams, and when he returned to England (which I IlClieve was at the end of last year, as he was a resident in Oporto for some years) he planted them in his garden at Gelliwig, nearlVllhtji. Now, unless I write with- out authority, or if Dr. Williams has not wilfully misled me, which I think no one who knows him will think llim capable of doing for a moment, where can be the deficient link in the chain of evidence spoken of by tiiis "Sodety" eorrespondent of yours? I know the facts in themselves are indeed astonishing and "extra-or- dhnry; but then was not that the precise reason why I took the trouble to point them out to the public. With what Mr. Grimstone may have said or done I have no. thing to do, nor with other charlatan or humbug -if the Hai-num type; but the facts in this ease are as I have stated theui-that, Sir, you may depend upon, and it is with facts that the public have to do and not with scep- tical assertions a-s to what might hare occurred. Peas which were found in the stomach of a mummy opened iu Oporto in 18.1t are now growing in a gentleman's garden near Pwllheli, and however strong the scepticism of Society may be he cannot disprove that fact. My personal conclusion drawn from it, of course, is q I'.Us a different matter, and everyone has a right to judge for himself. I admit my error as regards the unijorllt colour of *>ea bl essoins, and also thank your correspondent for the cor- rection. I had forgotten field peas, and I never saw the "rdu peas to which he refers. Yours. &e,. YOUR PWLLHELI CORRESPONDENT. I .1 uly 15, 1862.

THE STREETS OF BANGOR. To the Editor of the North Wake Chronicle. 8ir, --I ,? that I should have given my fi-,I, Mr. H?rdie?he ?roubL to write ?o long a letter iu reply to the charge I made as to the dirty state of Bangor streets. He must excuse me for saying that he h; brought into the field arguments of unnecessary calibre, If 1 had urged the pulling down of the houses on one side of the main artery of the town (which must some- time be done) and considerably widening the chief thoroughfare, there would have been reason in his logic; but to bring such an enormous battery to bear upon the -.11 question of keeping the side causeways in a tt?3 of proper repair and cleanliness, must, I think, have been ioa,,id by your readers out of I)Loe, and altogether (d lyropoerr 'I t) ?liti-ely the town of Bangor is not so poor, or in such 6t."t? of pauperism as to be uuable to employ a few men (it might be those who depend wholly, or in part, upon the Poor Laws for their support) to break and bring into a fit form 80me small portion of the splendid stone which stands so nobly about the town, to repair the old and worn out side pavements, and one or twice a week to sweep them, and keep them clean. The ques tion requires no argument, and I will not insult the town of Bangor by saying more on a subject which is o,ly too self-evident. I I am, Sir, Yours faithfully.

TheI?teLorJPowish?dbeeu the chief in- strument in establishing the Welsh Church iu London, and the present Earl nobly followed his example by still patronising it. Such a mark of the Jdndly feeling of his countrymen and countrywomen must be very gratifying to Arr Evans.

Detailed Lists, Results and Guides

THE MONTGOMERYSHIRE ELECTION. THE DAY OF POLLING. On Saturday morning, each town and village was astir at an early hour, preparing for the battle. Vehicles of every kind, class, and description, that could be picked up for 20 miles, were pressed into the service to convey voters to the poll, At eight o'clock the fight began in earneet. and as the day ad vanced, the excitement in- creased. The returns being made at Welshpool, the most accessible places were of course Llanidloes, New- town, and Montgomery, at each of which, the numbers were in favour of Tracy, the two former giving him very hrge majorities; the consequence was, that telegram* of the most extraordinary fallacious character were sent ahout Shrewsbury, and even to London, Manchester and Birmingham-the Morning Herald and Standard being, we believe, the only Loudon daily papers that had a cor- rect return in their Monday's issue, all the rest giving a presumptive return in favour of Tracy. Taking the whole of the polling places together into account, there is very little doubt but that Wynn was in a majority from nine o'clock, increasing it as the day advanced. At about six o'clock, Welshpool became the centre point of attraction, many of the friends of both parties having made their way there from adjacent polling places. From the return received up to that time, no possible doubt could exist that Mr. Wynn was than de facto the mem- ber for Montgomeryshire, and the cheers in his com- mittee-room at the Oak Hotel, awakened most enthusi- astic echoes from the multitudes who had by that time collected outside. It was not until between nine and ten o'clock, that the whole of the returns had been re- eel e.1, when it was announced amidst immense cheering that there was a majority for Mr. Wynn of 287. Upon subsequent revision, it was made up to 307 and after the books had been cast up by the under-sheriff, the actual majority was found to be 310, as will be observed by the state of the poll at the various places given below. We should be glad if we could here close our account of the day's proceedings without having to recount any ac- cidents or offences, but unfortunately we cannot. In most places, the proceedings were conducted with great propriety, and no breaches of the peace occurred beyond a few friendly tights soon shut up. We regret to say that Llanidloes formed a disgraceful exception. At an early hour of the morniug, some three or four hundred navvies and miners, and roughs of every description, col- lected in the town, having no doubt received their in- structions from some over officious partisan. (We can- not suppose that any freedom-of-election member of the legislature, could have been the mainspring of this. The result, however, was, that after a few votes had been polled, the, polling booth was surrounded by these bulldogs, and nbt a man was allowed to approach the place without giving his assurance that he was going to vote for Tracy. This system of intimidation was carried on throughout the whole day, insomuch that Mi. Wynn polled only 12 votes there, although there were 178 voters within a few yards of the spot ready to poll for Wynn, but dare not show their noses outside the house, besides others who, after vainly attempting to reach the booth, and thinking discretion the better part of valour, re- treated without recording their votes. The scene is ti?u.3 d?.i-ib??d by an i F?, n early hour of the day, an infuriated, though organised m?b, surrounded.the palling.bjoth, and, with the exe?p- tion of a dozen who happened to be first at the puB, not one of Mr. Wymi's supporters were allowed to go near the polling-booth all day. As the day advanced, the nvob became larger and more excited by drink; and such a scene as the streets presented in the afternoon and even- ing, I hope never again t,) witness. Had I not been there, I could not have believed that so many people in this country could have been found to present the ap- pearance I should have thought peculiar to drunken savages. Gentlemen known to have been supporters of lr. Wynn, were pelted with nllld-hall stones thrown at them—spat upon—assailed by hideous yells and of- fensive epithets—and, if it happened to be an old gentle- man whom they met, afraid to approach, he was rolled i. the mud, and according to the nature of his assail- ants, kicked when he W,IS down." | At four o'clock Col. Hunter read the Riot Act, aiul warued the crowd against remaining in the streets; but they were o"ly the more iufuriatedand abusive. People who knew the arrant cowardice of these creatures de- voutly wished for half-a-dozen red-coats, who would, I am told, have been ample to frighten twice as many hundreds into their wretched hovels; but they were not at hand. At half-past four the most courageous of Mr. Wyn l's friends made a last effort to get to the poll, but were repulsed with more violence than ever; and we regret to hear that one gentleman was rather seriously injured by some dastardly creature, who threw a stone into his face. At this time about 120 voters were wait- ing to poll for Mr. Wynn, but as the mob became more riotous every moment, many of them left the town. It is impossible to describetheindigllation felt by these respec- table geuthJmen-mauy of whom had travelled long dis- tances to poll-for the leaders of this swinish multitude, and especially for the returning oiffcer, who, being a strong political partizau, refused to close the poll when asked; and it was not until the very greatest pressure had been put upon him that Mr. Wtialley (who rode backwards and forwards amongst his most respectable followers) consented to take to the booth a protest against the poll being kept open. Whether (after giving his word and honour) he forgot to take it, or whether the returuiug otticer refused to act upon it we do uot know. The poll, however, was kept open under such circumstances as never was poll continued before. Several telegrams were despatched to the head quarters at Welshpool, stating that such lawless proceedings were going on, and it was thought necessary to telegraph to Shrewsbury for assistance. About forty of the Shropshire constabulary, under the command ot Captain urampton, cuiei con- stable, were therefore immediately conveyed by train to Llanidloes. The town, however, when they arrived there, was in a state of complete quietude, and being in- formed by the anthoritie-i that their services were not required they unfortunately left the place, supposing that all had subsided into peace and good order. This movement very shortly proved to be a: grievous error, for the mob again sallied forth, and being uncontrolled, committed most fearful outrages, smashing windows most relentlessly and damaging property in the town in various ways, not ceasing from their work of havoc until between one and two on Sunday morning. Thus it will be seen that, intoxicated with drink or delight, they be- came insensible to the advice of the leaders of that party work they had been hired to perform, for Mr. Whalley had shortly after the close of the poll harangued them in his own felicitous style, begging of them to go peace- ably home and on no account to set about to break people's windows or to be guilty of any lawless proceed- ings whatever.

DECLARATION OF THE POLL. The official declaration took place on the hustings on Monday. Mr. Wynn and a large body of his supporters were present, but neither Captain Tracy nor any of those who hail ministered to his youthful ambition made their appearance. The High Sheriff read the numbers as follows ;— Wynn, 1,26!); Tracy, 950. Majority for Wynn, 310. Mr. William Wyuu was therefore declared duly elected amid enthusiastic cheers. Having been girt with the sword Mr. WYXNsaid— For the warmth and kindness of your welcome accept my grateful awlmlJBt hearty thanks. It ahew me that I was not mistaken in my anticipations, and the result of Saturday's poll abundantly proves that in resting my claims to yol1l' support on the services of those who have gone before me I did not over estimate their value, or lower my own position in your eyes (cheers.) Gentle- men, we have fought a hard and up-hill fight, and we have fairly won it. I have had to coiit?t agaii' v?t every prejudice which the unscrupulous detraction, of itinerant demagogues could bring to bear against me- against the coldness which had met me in quarters where I might have hoped for warmest support. But, gentlemen, these things are 1"1.ed, anù the memory of .4 are 11-?sud, and the memory of them fades before your kindness as the morning mist before the sun. I am henceforth the representative not of the majority who elected me, but of the whole county of Montgomery; and I do express my conviction that upon the whole this contest has been carried on as I said on Wednesday last I hoped it would be eon- ducted-that the battle has been fought honestly, openly, and fairly (cheers). At one polling place iiideed, at Llanidloes, such was tho intimidation arid vyileboe that my supporters were, almost to a man, were prevented from exercising their franchise; but I do not lay the blame of this outrage so much on the men who were engaged in it as on the authorities, who, after due warning of its probability, deliberately permitted it. In every other town and polling place Montgomeryshire has offered an example, not only to Wales, but to England, and a proof that political differences may be earned even to the point of opposition at the polling booth without rousing one angry passion or exciting one private grudge (great cheering). For myself I have nothing to acknowledge at the hands of my honourable opponent, but unvarying courtesy; an 1 if in the course of my can- vas, or upon the hustings, I have said one word person- ally disagreeable to him I here offer my hearts apolo- gies for it, and unequivocally retract it (cheers), The representation of this county was a subject of legtlUlate ambition to us both, and we can neither of us think the worse of the other for aspiring to it (applause). Gentle- men, to those who have opposed me, I would say that I trust that you will hereafter find that, hke a certain personage that shall be nameless, I am not quite as black as I have been painted by the chief artist of the opposite party, and that when the time comes for me to give an account of my stewardship you will admit that I was jut as likely to become the tool of the Llama of Peru as of the Pope of Rome (cheers). Gentlemen, I haye a deep abhorrence of religious intolerance, and I claim for my- self that liberty of conscience which I trust I am always ready to extend to others; but it really appears to me that the liberty most coveted by some people is that of forcing your own opinions down other people's throats, without reference to the objections that the latter may entertain to the process (great cheering). It only re- mains for me, gentlemen, to try to justify by my future conduct, and my attention to my duties iu Parliament, that support which you have so generously extended to afl untried man, and which you have rendered remarka- ble and doubly valuable by not requiring from him a Hingle pledge. Gentlemen, ont of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh, but I shall vainly endeavour to express in words my deep sense of this great and nn- common confidence on your part. It adds a fresh link to that long chain of associations that bind my family to this oounty of which I spoke on Wednesday, and which I trust may continue to be as affectionately regarded by you as it is treasured and reverenced by us (vociferous cheering). Mr. WYNN- then proposed, aud Mr. MTTTON seconded a vote of thanks to the High Sheriff for his conduct in presiding. This was cordially received and briefly ac, knowledged by the High Sheriff, after which the pro- ceedings terminated.

Lord liuouoHAM called attention to the state of the African slave trade, and urged that the Northern Stated were by no means entitled to the credit they assumed to themselves for the measures they had recently taken for the suppression of slavery. The Marquis of CLAMU- CAnDE called attention to the,ineiffciezicy of the police arrangements in Ireland for the repression of crime, and urged that it was necessary for the present military sys- tem to be entirely reorganised. The noble marquis moved for returns in reference to the question Earl GRANVILLE assented to the motion, which, after a few words from Lord Donoughmore, was assented The Lunacy (Scotland) Bill was read a third time and passed, after an ineffectual opposition raised by the Duke of MONTKOSE, which was rejected on a division by 40 to 31. The Bishop of OXFORD moved the second read- ing of the Bishops for Heathen Countries' Bill, the ob- ject of which was to offer increased facilities for the consecration of Bishops who were intended to officiate in distant parts. The LORD CHANCELLOR opposed the bill on the ground that the law as it stood, carried out the whole provisions of the measure. After some dis- cussion, the bill was withdrawn. The Harbour Trans- fer Bill, the Pier and Harbour Orders Confirmation Bill, the Smoke Nuisance (Metropolis) Act Amendment Bill, and the Coal Mines Bill, were read a second time- The Naval and Victnalling Stores Bill, the Highways' Bill, and the African Slave Trade Treaty Bill, were read a third tirns and passed. Their lordships ad- journed at half-past eight. HOUSE OF LORDS—MONDAF. The Earl of DEKBy called the attention of the House I to a small debt due from Jamaica. The Duke of NEWCASTLK explained that a bill for settling the ques- I tion was now before the House of Commons. HOUSE OF LORDS.—TUESDAY. The proceedings last evening were not important. I HOUSE OF COMMONS.—FIUDAY. MORNING SITTING. The Speaker took the chair at 12 o'clock. The House went iuto committee on the Parochial Assess- ments Bill. Mr. J. Turneh said the bill contained provisions of a m >st objectionable character, and he would therefore move that the Chairman report progress. Mr. VILLIEU-S hopect the hou. member would not insist upon dividing the House. Upon a division, the numbers were-For reporting progress 7 agaiiist, 29; majority, 22. The House then proceeded with the con- sideration of the clauses of the bill, which occupied the whole of the sitting. EVENING SITTING. The House resumed at six o'clock.-In reply to Mr. Heygate, Mr. L.VYARD stated that negotiations were now in progress for a commercial treaty with Belgium. -In answer to Lord Burghley, Mr. LA YARD denied the accuracy of the accounts which had been published in reference to the atrocities said to have been perpe- trated upon the Taepings, and said the Government had iastituted inquiries into the whole matter.-In reply to Mr. Adderley, Mr. C. FOUTFSCUK stated that a bill had been introduced into the Canadian Legislature, the object of which was to raise the militia from 5000 to 10,000. Lord PALMERSTON remarked that there was no intention of withdrawing the British troops from Canada. Ou the order of the day for going into com- mittee of supply, Sir G. GIIEY stated, in reply to Mr. Caird, that the Government were taking active measures for a proper collection of agricultural statistics.

Mr. HIBBKRT inquired whether the Pre.-ident of the Poor Law Board was prepared to bring in a bill to enable Boards of Guardians to borrow money, under certain conditions, for the more effectual relief of the distressed operatives in the cotton manufacturing districts. Mr. VILLIERS, in reply said, that although the necessity for Buchan Jttreme step did not at present exist, it would probably benecessary to resort bdore long to extrior(l?i? nary mealM, asthe distre? referred to was seriously in- creasing. The protraction of the American war, and the large inroads which had been made on the deposits in the savings banks, were the chief causes of the in. crease in the distress. He therefore felt justified in stating that Mr. Hibbert's suggestion might be enter- tained at some future time. lie also thought that ge- nerallegislation on the subject would be necessary before the termitation of the se¡¡sion-The House afterwards went into committee on the Fortifications Bill, which, notwithstanding souie strong opposition, passed through that stage. Mr. FOBTESCUE afterwards moved the sccond reading of the Jamaica Loan Settlement Bill, and explained that its object was to remit the balance of a loan of t"200,OOt! due from Jamaica, on condition that the colony annually contributed L6,400 towards the ex- penses of its Government. Mr. WILLIAMS opposed the bill on economical grounds, and proposed that it be read a second time that day three mouths.- The amendment was negatived without a division, and the bill was read a second time.

DENBIGH. COUNTY COURT, Saturday (adjourned from Thursday) July 12.-Before James Edward Davis, Esq., Deputy Judge. A Jnry Cast.-Evans v. Parry. -Plaintiff in this case is an architect, and sued defendant, a butcher residing at Denbigh, for JC21 178 6d., balance due for work done, by waking plans and specifications of a dweihng-houae, slaughter-house and stable, and personally superintend- ing the entire work, until its completion, Mr. Adams appeared for plaintiff, and Mr. Louis for defendant. The action had been brought on by pla-.ntin before the Court of Queen's Bench, where an order was issued to have it tried at the Denbigh County Court. The evidence of both parties was in direct contrarity to each other. Mr. Evans said-I am an architect and builder, resid- ing in Denbigh. Had a conversation with Mr.-Moses Parry respecting the building of slaughter-houses and st<ible. An agreemeut was made, and the work com- menced ill February, 1861. He asked me what my per centage would be for making the plans, and superintend- ing the works. Five per cent," I said," but I will charge no extra for superintending." I prepared the plans. I also prepared the estimates. My amount was £65. The stable and slaughter-house were built, and I superintended the work. The work was finished in about a month or six weeks. J afterwards prepared plans for the erection of a dwelling-house. I estimated the cost at £ 486. He said that sum was more money than he intended to spend, and requested me to reduce the cost. I accordingly prepared another plan, and the es- timate then was £355. That piau wa.approved of and the building proceeded with. The work was done un- der my direction and supervision. Mr. Parry required extensions and additions. The estimate I put in for additional work was £ 25. He had an agreement as to the amount of my charges. If he did not build, I was to have two-and-a-lialf per centage. I have acted as Sur- veyor under Government for 16 years. My charge has he en 5 per cent. I have been employed extensively in Mr. Parry's version of the case was-I met plaintiff in February, 1861. Told him I was going to build. Ask- ed him what his charges were. He said £5 per cent., but that he would do the work for me for X2 10s per i cent.,j as he was slack at the time, and under that con. ditioii alone I engaged him. He said he would make the plans, prepare specification8, and everything that was necessary to complete the work, including superin- tendence, fur two-and-a-half per cent. Said he \Y<Juld finish the work for ,f320 in the way I wanted it but it has cost me from A:500 to £ 600. Nlr. DaN-ie-i, King's Mills, said—Mr. Evar.s, the plain- tiff, told me that he had been engaged by Moses Parry to erect some buildings for him—that he would not charge him 5 per cent, but very much under." No written agreement having been drawn out, the question to be decided by the jury was—From which side was the truth elicited ?—Plaintiff had sworn his charge was 5 per cent., and. defendant had sworn it was 2t per cent. The evidence of Ir. Davies, as His HONOR observed, strongly corroborated the statement of defendant. A set-off to an amount equal to that which was due according to 2][r per cent. was pleaded by de. fendant for meat, &c., aud that debt plaintiff did not dispute. After a long hearing, the jury found a verdict for de- fendant. Thos. Griiffths v. John Eltighes--The plaintiff it) this action sued defendant (both stonemasons) for £5 98 6d. due for work done. Ir. Louiti appeared for plaintiff, and 51r. Adams, for defendant. Tlios. Griffiths said—In 1859 I met defendant at Den- bigh. He told me that he had some work to do at the College, Tremeii chion. Asked me to take part of the work and I consented. I worked there for 24 weeks, at 14s. a week. He complained the job did not pay him. He paid me £15 on account. He promised to pay the remainder, and has coutinuued to promise f jr three years. As the job failed, I offered to take £ 2 10s., if he would deliver that amount at once. Never threatened not to pay me. He promised to pay me if he could get another job at the College, to draw out a sfficient sum, clear profit, to P:1Y me. J ohll Hughes said—My contract at St. Beuno's Col- lege was £32, and of that contract Griffiths had a con. tract of £20. I was the responsible party. I paid A;15 to Griffiths, and paid a large sum besides for the work he had undertaken to complete. The job cost me £40, and I refused paying Griffiths more than X 15 unless the College authorities allowed a higher sum than spe- cified in the contract. Never promised to pay but on that condition. From the evidence of Thomas Parry, a workman in the employ of plaintift, it was shown how many weeks were due to plaiutiff. His HONOR, in summing up, observed that the clear- est possible evidence had been adduced in favour of plaintiff, to whom he would give judgment for £3 Is. 6d. Thomas Davies, of Llansannan, bankrupt, passed his final examination. Mr. Meredith Williams appeared on his behalf. COUNTY PUTTY SESSIONS, Wednesday, July 16.-Be- fore John Price, Esq., Llanrhaiadr Hall, and Chambres, Esq., Llysinerchion. Daniel Hughes of Henllan, labourer, was charged with having feloniously stolen, on or about the 11th of Dec., 1861. one horse back-chain and pitchfork, the property of Robert Williams, -of Gwyndy, parish of Llanefydd. The articles was found in the house of David Williams, Fach, where they had been left by the prisoner, he at the time being in the employ of David Williams, who declined to purchase them. Suspicions arose, and infor- mation was given to P.C. Enoch Williams, who after- wards apprehended the prisoner. The prisoner's statement was-I found the pitchfork and chain on the road between Tyu-y-ffordd and Glas- goed, near St. Asaph, and it being dark, about five o'clock in the morning, I hid them in the hedge on the road-side whelfe they remained for days before I took them to the Fach. I asked several persons if they had lost a back chain and pitchfork. David Williams swore that he told him that the pitch fork was an old pitchfork belonging to his father, and that only the chain was found on the road. The prisoner was pressed to name any of the persons he had questioned respecting the loss of the articles, and he replied, rather confused,—I forget who they were. I asked a great many of the lads about Cein, but I can- not name them, as I am a stranger in that part." He wished his case to be decided by the magistrates, and not to be committed for trial at the Quarter Sessions or Assizes. Their Werships were of opinion that the theft was clearly proved, and sentenced the prisoner to three months' imprisonment, with hard labour.

BANGOR FRIARS SCHOOL. To the Editor of the North Wales Chronicle.. Sir, I have waited with some amount of curiosity for the List two weeks to see whether any answer would be vouchsafed by the Trustees or their friends to the que- ries which I, in a friendly spirit, propounded in the Chronicle but as yet there has been no corresponding echo. Am I, and the public, then, to conclude that the amended regulations are simply and virtually indefensi- ble, and that the Trustees feel that any rational defence of the new scheme is impossible ? If such be the fact, what opinion,can any Christian and honest man enter- tain towards them, and the precious scheme itself ? I am not in the habit of employing strong terms when writing or speaking of any person; but if this new scheme be not a direct spoliation of the rights of the Poor, I do not know what would properly amount to spoliation." We are told in the Sacred Writings to defend and protect the rights of the Poor-of the widow and the fatherless, and not to take them away; and heavy punishments are denounced against aU those who thus act unrighteously. Are we to look upon the Bible as a dead letter, or is there a class of Christians privi- leged to practically ignore its teachings ? for it really does seem as if the Trustees and others who are con- nected with this Charity held some such an opinion. The case is as plain as facts and words can make it. Years ago, a benevolent gentleman left an estate to found a Charity School in Bangor, and most munificently endowed it. He enjoined in his last will and testa- ment" that ten poor childien should be lodged, fed, and clothed, and taught, amongst other things, the rudi- ments of Latin and Greek." To make the meaning of the term poor," as applied by him, impossible to be misunderstood, or jesuitically interpreted, he gives strict and definite orders, that in case there should be an ex- cess of applications for admittance to the School, that the children of the very poorest should, in all cases, have the preference. He seems to have been as shrewd and as far-seeiag as he w;u benevolent, and to calculate upon attempts being made !?,t the Charity from the poor; and in spite of the careful wording of the do- cument, and in the face of right and justice, such an attempt has been made, aud what is worse still, it has hitherto been successful. I care not by what sophistry Mr. Totton, or any one else, defends this scheme, for he, at all events, is an in- terested party by his very position as Master; for I maintain that no man, nor any body of men, not even the Imperial Legislature, possess the legal or moral right to divert a benevolent donor's will from what it was originally intended. No chicanery, no special plead- ing, no considerations of what is plausibly said to be "expedi-ncy," can justify a robbery of the Poor, and cheating them of their legal and just rights. Well may the Trustees shirk from the task of defending a scheme which is not only not in accordance with the spirit of the Charity, but abrogates and renders null and void the very words and plain meaning of the document upon which the Charity is based. It's oh to be a slave, Along with the barbarous- Turk, Where woman has never a soul to save, If this be Christian work. But I cannot bring myself to conclude that the Trus- tees are only to blame in this monstrous act of Charity spoliation. The inhabitants of Bangor and the vicinity must really bear a part of it. Why do not they take an active part in seeing common justice done to the poor of their own city ?—meet the Trustees and the Commis- sioners, if need be, face to face, and denonnce the scheme and their conduct in language at once firm and indig- nant. It is their duty to do so, and if they neglect the Poor in this matter, they surely caunot be doing their duty. Shame will do a great deal sometimes. There are towns in England where this shameful misappropriatiou of charitable funds would not be permitted for a week, and where the parties concerned would be met with a cry of execration which would make their hearts quake and their very ears tingle again. I can understand the prudent reticence of the Trustees; what is past compre- hension is the supineness of the inhabitants of Bangor in this very important matter. I am, &c. July 16th, 1862. ENQUIRER.
THE FORTIFICATIONS DEBATE.

THE FORTIFICATIONS DEBATE. To the Editor of the North Wales Chronicle. Sir,—Permit me to correct a wrong impression which you have taken respecting the effect of the debate on the above subject in the House of Commons. You say, with respect to the passage of arms between Lord Palmerstonand Mr. Cobden, that" the House was evidently with the Premier; and the hon. member for Rochdale must have returned home mortified and de- based." Now, I happened to be in London that week, aud availed myself of the privilege of attending the House on each night of that encounter. That Lord Pal- merston is a brilliant speaker, with a rich vein of hu- mour and sarcasm at his command, and that at all times he can get a cheer, not so much from what he says as from the method of telling, is an accomplishment which half a century of experience cannot fail to have given him, Of all the encounters that he ever had, it is doubt- ful whether any one has been half so damaging as this with the hon. member for Rochdale. When, on Thurs- day night, Mr. Cobden rose to address the House, the cheers which lasted for several minutes rang through the House, and during the whole of his telling speech, when olle thunderbolt was hurled after another, there was a general thrill throughout the House. But when he added one terrible indictment after the other, and ultimately roved, beyond the possibility of a doubt, from the Pre- mier's own speeches, his inexactness with regard to the muse of the Chinese war," the cheering w,. boisterous almost in every part of the House, and the iinmediati: followers of Lord Palmerston had not the courage nor the power to give a counter cheer, as is always the case when the sympathy of the House is equally divided. On the other haud, there were some passages in the speeches of the Pei' that were scarcely tolerated. In that part where he said that the hon. member is in a state of blindness and delusion and when he Wa' nnder- stood to sneer at the commercial treaty with France, the highest amount of disapprobation consistent with the usage of the House was manifested. It is equally cor- rect to say, that in some portions of his speeches he was received well, and elicited hearty cheers; but they were exactly those portions which did not touch the question of inexactness." The moral ertect of that famous en- counter was most damaging to the Premier, and com- ing so near the general election, some of his sayings will be remembered against him. You are also a little incorrect in stating that Sir John Pakington correctcd several errors in the hon. member's speech. Mr. ColodeD carried his comparison of the re- lative strength of the navies of England and France to 185g--the last year to which officially audited and pub. lished accounts were available. What Sir J. Pakington said was, that the hon. member did nut say what had been done since then, and declared without adducing any proof that the statement of the Premier was cor- rect. There is, however, in this a manifest want of sin- cerity 011 the part of Sir J. Pakington. What possible influence could the proceedings of France in 1860-1 and '62 have on the decision which was taken by the House in 18591 The same unfounded cry of invasion, and inferiority in naval power, was made the pretext of that gigantic system of fortification to which the House was fright- eued into in the early part of 1860. It is now half abandoned byfthe most reckless advocates of that national rnon8trocity. From your blind admiration of the arguments of the Premier, you seem with him desirous of leaving the im- preusiou that a comparison between the naval strength of the two Powers is impossible. Mr. Cobden compared the number of men in the dock.,trds-the expenditure in the tame—the number of seamen in each-the num- ber and tonnage of «hip3,—and shewed beyond all dis- pute that the preponderance was relatively greater in favour of this country now than at any time in the pre- vious history of Frauee. Those are not opinions but facta, and no one can lessen the force of them by any system of distorted logic. In fairness to great uien, and still greater principles, I trust in your usual C1\ndour to publish this letter. T am. Sir. yours&c" W. C. WILLIAMS.

A "MARKET FOR PORTMADOC." To the. Editor of the Nortl, Wales Chronicle. I ? Sir,—I find that this subject lias been a good tieai ani- madverted upon recently by your local correspondent, but hitherto without the desired effect. Either the pub- lic of the Port do not really desire a market, or they are sadly deficient in the pluck or the knowledge how to set vigourously abolltgetting one. In my opinion the Local Board is the proper" authority to move in this matter, and the question is —will they ? and if not, why not ? Here is a prosperous town of about 2000 inhabitants, the great majority of whom are tradesmen, mechanics, and well-paid labourers; and there is also a Local Board of Health as a responsible governing body. Can any of your readers point out another tOWh in Wales or else- where similarly circumstanced, in which there is not a weekly market ?
