Harrison, Witliy, Humphreys, Morgan, Morris, J. Jones, and Ellis Jones. The Clerk read a letter received from Mr Griffiths, Tespectmg the question, discussed at the previous :Board, whether the connecting of the pipes from the main to the Smithfield was included in the Smithfield contract. Mr Griffiths said that Mr Moore was bound by the gpecicfiatione, to connect the Snrthfiela pipe -with the main, and that it was his duty te know thaS ,When he entered into the contra, t. i After some conversation, The Mayor said it was of no use discussing this ques- on any longer. It was evident the contractor must connect the pipes from the Smithfield with the mains in Severn-street. THE PRITATZ DRAINAGE. I Mr J. Jones (of Broad-street, grocer,) appeared to -eomplain that the privies connected with his houses in Bigh-street were in a disgusting condition, owing, he aaid, to the defective construction of the works by Mr Moore. It was remarked by several members of the Board that the defective supply of water misrht account for the Hthy condition of the places in ques ion. Mr Harrison considered that private drainage should :Not be connected with the main unless a proper supply cf water was put on at the same time. U'r Morris said that there WaI not a Huh of water in 'be mail' to carry away the sewage, Mr Huraphreys remarked that six weeks or two ???? th.. "'? I"ld aw<? since Mr Dymond cOl&demnÑ the main water pipes, and ordered them to be rejointed; and the owners of property would not construct their private works till they saw whether Mr Dymond a order was to be carried out. Mr Moore had not rejomted the pipes, and, Mr Humphreys wanted to know why he had not. It was high time to come to some understanding with Mr Moore. Mr Humphreys gave notice that at the next meeting he should move that Mr Moore be in- structed by the Board to rejoint the pipes at once, ac- conling to Mr Dymond's instructions. It was also arranged that Mr Dymond should be com- municated with on the subject, and an extract from a letter of Mr Dymond's to the following effect was read That the extent of the remedial works should be decided as the works went on. The Mayor remarked thit Mr Dymond had a report every week from the inspector, and would come down to the Board with a recommendation respecting the reme- dial works. The Mayor thought it very desirable to make an order that no privy should he connected with the main sewer without a supply of water being put on at the same time, and also to order that all such places which had bee I connected should be properly supplied with water. 'ihe i thj question was, how far could they make such an order with reference to private drainage which was al- ready connected. The Clerk said that if a nuisance was created the Board might order private persons to get a supply of water. Mr Humphreys moved that no private drainage be connected with the main sewer unless the water be put on at the same time. Mr Morris would second the motion. Mr Withy moved that in cases where nuisances exist- ed in connection with private drainage, notice be given that water must be put on. A fresh motion, containing both motions, was then put to the meeting and carried. Mr Parker remarked that lie had engaged Mr George Lewis to lay down his water pipes, and he believed the work would be done at a quarter the cost of Mr Moor's, and be doubly effectual. THE EARL OF POWIS AND THE BOARD.-At the sug- gestion of Mr Humphreys, the Clerk was directed to draw up a draft agreement with the Earl of Powis res- pectin" the supply of water from the Black Pool.

FURTHER PROCEEDINGS AGAINST PRIZE -FFGIITE RS.- At the Guildford petty sessions, on Saturday, Joseph Goss and Isaac Baker, two well-known pugilists, were summoned for committing a breach of the peace at Wo- kiTlg. on the 17th inst. They fought on the day named in a fielll close to the Woking station, on the South- western Railway, for JB200, and the fight, after lasting one hour and thirty-five minutes, was declared to have been won by Goss, who some time since entered the ring against Mace, by whom he was defeated. Baker an- swered to the summons, but Goss did not appear. Mr. Taylor, solicitor, audressed the bench for Baker, and said that he was not aware he was committing a breach of the peace. He could assure the bench that two-thirds of the common orders did not know that prize-fighting was illegal, and unfortunately the defendant came from the district of West Bromwich, near Birmingham, where the inhabitants, he believed, were unconscious that prize-fighting was a riot, The chairman remarked that if a person committed an offence against the law, he was not to be excused because he pleaded ignorance of the consequences which would follow. Mr Taylor, resum- ing his address, said he admitted the force of the chair- man's remark: but where a magistrate was satisfied that a misdemeanour of this kind was committed without the offender being aware that it was an offence, a most leni- ent view was generally taken of it. The chairman (Mr. G. Best) said that the magistrates would decide this case as they did one which was tried before them a short time since. The defendant must enter into his own re- cognizances in the sum of E25, and find a surety for the same amount, to keep the peace for six months, and the costs, 21 15s. The required recognizances were entered into. A telegram was received from Goss, stat- ing that he had missed the train and was unable to appear before the magistrates this day but if they wouid adjourn the hearing he would attend before them whenever they thought proper. The benlh adjourned he case against him until their next meeting. MR. LINDSAY, M.P., AND HIS CONSTITUENTS.— Mr W. S. Lindsay, M.P. for Sunderland, has addressed th; following letter to a local paper respecting the rumours which were circulated that he intended to re- sign the representation of that borough:—" Sir,—Since my arrival here I have been informed by numerous friends that it has been freely rumoured that I am not likely to offer myself again as one of the representatives in Parliament for this borough. Such is not the fact. Since I have had the honour of representing Sunder- land, I never entertained such a thought; and, from the expressions of kind feeling I have everywhere received, never was less likely to do so than at the present mo- ment. I feel proud to represent this spirited and liberal maritime constituency; and, connected as I am with commercial and shipping affairs, I trust I have the knowledge, and I feel I have ever been anxious, to ad- vance the interests of the port, while attemding to the general duties of a representative of the people.—I am, air, your obedient servant, W. S. LINDSAY.—Bridge Hotel, Sunderland, Dee. 29, 1863." The same journal gives the following as the reasons which induced Mr Lindsay to visit the borough which he has the honour of representing: 11 W. S. Lindsay, Esq., M.P., is at this moment on a visit to this borough, the object of which we have much pleasure in announcing. The honourable member has been commissioned to have con- structed for the mail service of the Portugnese Govern- ment eight iron screw steamers, of from 500 to 1 200 tons burthen. They are intended for mail packet ser- vice between Portugal and her colonies, and the whole of them, we believe, will becolastracted at Sunderland. Taking the average cost of each at from je20,000 to 225,000, this will be a handsome sum of nearly 200.000, which will probably be spent in the port dur- ing the ensuing year.

FUNERAL OF MR. W. M. THACKERAY. I From the Express. I On Wednesday morning the mortal remains of Mr W. M. Thackeray were interred in the Ke isal-green cemetery, the resting place of m my who have ssrved this generation by their genius, their character, or their unselfish industry. The funeral procession left the private residence of the deceased, at Kensington, shortly before eleven o'clock, and arrived at the cemetery about noon. There was but one mourning coach, and in this and the suc- ceeding carriage, which was the private one of the de- ceased, were seated the Rev. F. St. John Thackeray Mr James Rodd, cousins of the deceased Capt. Shaw, his brother-in.law and the Hon. E. Curzon. Tiie re- maining carriages were those of Mr Martin Thackeray, General Low, Lord Gard ner, Sir W. Frazer, Hon. E. Curzon, Earl Granville, Mr Macaulay, Q.C., Sir James Colville, and Messrs. Bradbury and Evaus. The funeral service read in a solemn and impressive manner, by the chaplain of the cemetery, the Rev Chas. Stuart. When the coffin was placed in the little chapel of the burial ground a strong desire w.a manifested by nearly every one to enter the building but the space inside was soon occupied, as far as it could be conveni- ently, and the pervading reverence for the departed was quite sufficient to prevent any unseemly pressure. After the conclusion of the nrst portion of the service, the mass of those present proceeded to the grave, which is in a quiet spot on the left side of the cemetery, and not fai from the entrance gate. In looking round, men were to be seen on every side whose writings constitute the mental food of our people, the muscle and the flesh of our literature; writers whose books go wherever the Englishman treads, whose por- traits are hung up in the hut of the early settler in a newly .discovered tract of a distant colony, as m the me- chanics' institute of a provincial town. Instinctively the presence of the great English humorist, whose ge- nius was ever touchingly and gracefully acknowledged by the author whose burial was celebrated on Wednes- day, was felt to be assured. Mr Dickins was naturally present at the solemnity. Some who were aware of tue long-established friendship between the deceased and the author of Sartor Resartus" looked for him too in the group, but Mr Carlyle dislikes crowds and is all but a septuagenarian, and he was not recognised among the spectators. The number present amounted to nearly a thousand. The scene at the grave both during and after the eel e- mony of interment was extremely affecting. The silence was profound, and every countenance bespoke a deep sense of the loss which the nation as well as individuals have sustained. When the service had terminated, the Misses Thackeray, the two daughters of the deceased, who had formed no part of the procession, but who broke through the conventionality which excludes from such scenes those who are the deepest sufferers, and were in the chapel, approached the open grave anLI looked into it with a grief which was touching to behold. After they had withdrawn, other relatives advanced for the same purpose' and these again were followed by the immediate friends, and successively by almost everybody present. The coffin which was exceedingly plain, bore upon it the following inscription: William Makepeace Thackeray, Esq., died 24th December, 1863, aged 52 y cart.

THE GOOD OLD TOWN, To the Editor of the Wrexham Advertiser. Sir-As I always, in the course of my reading pounc with great avidity upon any mention of what it is now the affecteil fashion to call the good old town, perhaps your readers will excuse my calling their notice to a slight and incidental allusion to Wrexham in one of the letters of Matthew Prior written to Sir John Hanmer, the Speaker, and editor of Shakespeare. Prior, writing on the subject of his health says, My mare Betty grows blind, and may one day, by breaking my neck, perfect my cure if at Rixham fair any pretty nagg, that 13 between thirteen and fourteen hands, presented himself, and you should be pleased to purchase him for me, one of your servants might rido him to Euston and I might receive him there. This, sir, is just as such a thing happens. If you hear too of a Welch widow, with a good joincture that has her goings, and is not very skittish, pray be pleased to cast ycur eye on her for me, too. You see, Sir, the great trust I repose in your skill, and honour, when I dare put two such commissions in your hands," Two things are deducible from this quotation. First, that the old pronunciation of Wrexham was Rixham, if orthography is to be any guide to pronunciation, and next that Rixham fairs were notable events in those days. —Yours truly, I 29tii December. r ITZ EOBE -IT.

I RHOS-DDU BURIAL GROUND. I To the Editor of the Wrexham Advertiser. Sir,-I am a working man and have not much money to spend in special trips" or hiring trtps," so 1 had to enjoy myself the best way x could on Christmas day, so I took a strol about the town, and I was looking aL things in passing, and among one of the sights i saw was the Dissenting Burial Ground, and having stroiieu trough it, i was much astonished at the disgusting state of the tombstones, in looking at the names I hnu that several belong to some of the most respectable fa- milies in the town and neighbourhood. iSome oi tue vaults I expect to fail to pieces very soon, and tjin, chests in all shapes, forming extreme angles of all pro portions. On inquiring i hud that the sexton has spoken to several persons on tne state of the graves and as taey belong to the friends of those buried, 1 hope that they will at once see to do something towards putting the graves in order. 1 also lind that tHere arc no proper gates tor the entrances. Hoping that tne voluntary system is not vet dead and buried,—i am, yours, &c., I A POOR MAN.

I CHRISTMAS EVE.—SLR \L.lfi.u:" AND LADY WYNNE'S LIBERALITY. I To the Editor of the YVrexham Advertiser. Sir,—I think it would be wrong of us if we did not say a word about the kindness we received at Wynnstay this Christmas. You know it is the custom in this neighbourhood to go about singing on Curistulas Eve, and among several others that went out, the Band and Glee society, connected with the New British Iron Com- pany's Works, went to Wynnstay, and after playing se- veral Welsh airs before the mansion, we were all in- vited to supper, where there was plenty of beef and venison provided for us, together with plenty of Sir Watkin's old ale. After supper was over, we were in- vited to sing several Welsh airs before Sir Watkin, Lady Williams Wynn, and a number of visitors. We were then taken to see the new rooms, the grandeur of which 1 am not able to describe to you, Mr Editor, but I can tell you this that we never saw such a sigllv be- fore, nor did I ever dream of such grandeur. After- wards, the glee society, accompanied by the band, sang "God bless the Prince of Wales." We were then taken to the cellar to taste the Prince of Wales s ale, which was brewed on his marriage-day, and the young lady singers with us were taken to have some refreshments that were provided for them. We after- wards made the best of our way home, all speaking tf Sir Watkin and Lady Williams Wyuns kindness, wish- ing them long life and happiness in this world. Thus terminated one of the merriest Christmas Eve's that we ever witnessed.—Yours truly, A BINGEE.

Jjili To tht Editor 01 the Wrexham Advertiser. Sir,—I am told that there will shortly be a meeting held in Bersham for the purpose of protesting against the closing up of the footpath across Mr Fitziiugh s park. Tins is the right course to take. Let the meet- ing have all possible publicity, and not a hole and cor- ner affair li e the vestry held for the purpose of stop- ing the path. Let the real facts of the case be known, and not all the powers in Denbighshire will be able to stop this ancient footpath. It can be proved by indis- putable evidence that the path is used by two hundred persons daily. He would be a bold man who would ad- vocate the closing of the path in the face of this one smgle fact.- Yours truly, A POOB PEDESTRIAN. P.S.—Some time ago a road was stopped up mat pas- sed near Plaspower Hall. Now it is proposed to stop a footpath. Tuere is a pretty little story in the Bible about a rich man coveting a poor man's garden, which Mr Fitzhugh might read with protit.

WANT OF ECONOMY IN THE COUNCIL. To the Editor of the Wrexham Advertiser. Sir,—It is carious to observe the different views which a red" man and a white man will take of the same subj ect in the council. At the last meettug Mr Richard Clarke asked for a pound for walking from his house to the Council Chamber, a distance of about twenty yards. The reds," particularly Alderman Beale, argued that it ought to be paid. I always thought Alderman Beale was an economist, but there is very little economy in giving public money away in this way. I suppose Mr Beale is in for six years. A JLCATEPAYER.

MINING INTELLIGENCE. j CENTRAL MINERA.—Wm. Davies, Dec. 24: At the weetern shaft the cross-cut driving east is much harder for progress, a strong bed of limestone having come in this end, with small spots of ore through it, but not to value. The western end is without alteration since last report. MINERA UNION.—W. T. Harris, December 22: The 80 yard level is much easier for driving; the lode is 3 ft. wide, and from its promising character I expect a great improvement, at present it produces saving work.- Wil. liam's Shaft: The lode in the 40 yard level south is worth 15 cwts lead per fathom. No 1 pitch in the bottom of this level, is worth 2 tons of lead per fathom. No 2 pitch is worth 15 cwts of lead per fathom. NuRTH MINERA.—James Dunkin, Dec. 24: The ground at the eastern shaft still continues very favour- able for sinking, and gett ng into more of the limestone and spar; more congenial ground for lead ore than we have seen in the upper part of the mine. In the 25 east we are driving on the side of the lode, which, when last taken down, was producing good stones of lead ore. In the 25 west the lode is large, and producing good stones of lead ore, and from the character of the ground being similar to that in the bottom of the 45 yard level, previous to our discovery at this part of the mine, I expect an im- provement at this point. We are putting forth the 15, to get under the course of lead in the bottom of 45 yard level, having about 21 tons per fm. of unproductive ground to pass through to reach this point, which will put us in a much better position for taking away the ore. The stopes in the bottom of the 45 yard level are of the same value as last reported, but will be suspended, to bring in the 15 fathom level as stated. The stopes in back of the 15, west of eastern shaft, will produce 12 cwts of lead ore per fathom. CEFN CWM BRWYNO.—Dec. 22: The lode at the 80 west of Taylor's engine shaft, is 3 feet wide, producing from 15 cwts. to 1 ton of lead ore per fathom. The lode in the 56, or deep adit level going east, is 5 feet wide, yielding good saving work; the same level going east, on the south lode, is in a lode wide, producing good stones of ore at times. The tribute pitches are yielding on an average 9 cwts of lead ore per fathom. The dressing, &c, with all other surface work going on regularly. BRYNTAiii.—J. Roach, Dec. 22: The lode in the 20 west, that part being carried in driving, is produeing good stones and a mixture of lead ore, and apparently the best part of the lode is still standing north the lode is very promising indeed the piece of the lode being cut is improving, and from all appearances one would sup- pose that it will, as extended west, open out a very good lode of ore I believe it will. At all events, our prospects of having good and lasting bunches of ore were never so great as they are at the present moment, and I have great faith in the ore being found in greater abundance at a deeper level. Have you made up your mind to sink the shaft to a 30 fathom level, or would you prefer open- ing out a little more of the lode in the 20 previous to do- ing so ? My advice is to do the latter, and sink a winze under the 20 in the best of the ore, to prove its quality a little deeper.

STATE OF TRADE IN THE IRON AND MINING DISTRICTS, Up to Christmas Eve the artisans of the town and district were fully employed; and for several months past the trade of this and other centres of industry in the midlands has been gradually improving. The dulness at the close of the autumn season quickly disappeared and a reaction, which has been well sustained, took place. Transactions with the country shopkeepers have for a considerable time been upon an extensive scale, and on account of the home markets there has for some weeks, been a steady business doing. It is now certain that the year just drawn to a close will leave the trade of the iron and mining districts in a far more vigorous and healthy condition than its predecessor did. Stocks that were heavy a short time time ago have been swept away by the brisk demand of the past two months or ten weeks and hence there is every probability of the skilled operatives finding employment when the tr??T??"? have commenced.
